  We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate a 50th birthday and this place did not disappoint!

  Beautiful location, modern and clean property and in a great location, quiet but close enough to local amenities. This place ticked every box! We brought two large dogs who loved to run in the large, secure garden and then warm up with the underfloor heating. The kitchen is fully stocked with glasses for every need: utensils, pots, pans, chopping boards, serving platters and cleaning stuff. We did find we didn’t have any antibacterial spray or paper towels (but was more than happy to buy) so bare this in mind when doing shopping before coming! There is a mop and Hoover available to use (handy with pets) and washing up liquid, sponges and dishwasher tablets within the kitchen which was really convenient. A highchair is also provided if travelling with children.We had also been left some very delicious cakes which went down fantastically after we arrived. The bedrooms are spotless, with comfortable and large beds and amazing showers in the en-suites. The area is clean, beautiful and quiet with the occasional noise from the nearby roads (nothing major). After reading other reviews, we collected a takeaway from the local Chinese, Golden Bird. We had such a feast and is absolutely worth it’s good reputation. There are many shops within a 20min-30min drive in Bangor, Asda, Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and Lidl all easily accessible by car. If you’re looking for things to do with dogs, we visited Newborough Warren beach which is dog friendly at particular times of the year. This was around 30 minutes drive with parking practically on the beach. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone with or without dogs. There is no doubt that we will be returning!

  First time at St Marks School house and it was amazing!

  Nestled just on the edge of Elan Valley, St Marks sits surrounded by hills with views for miles direct from the window. On arrival the property was clean, tidy and felt really homely. The central heating was on and warm but also the log fire was prepared ready for lighting if needed. Essentials like cake, milk, teabags and coffee was on hand in order to make a brew after the long drive down, great little touch I thought. This little house is full of character, from its timber beams to its original slate worktops reclaimed from when the house used to be a school. There is fantastic dog walks right from the doorstep, with a forest less than fifty metres away which felt like you had to yourself due to the lack of people there. Great if you have a reactive dog like I do. The owners was fantastic, with great communication. They even went as far as leaving a guide book with tips and hints about heating, recycling, emergency numbers, where to eat when out etc. Also walks to take, plus if you have a dog then which walks will require your dog to be leashed (or not) in order not to scare livestock. All in all, this place is great for a couple or a single person (with two dogs) like myself wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Would I recommend - Absolutely! Will I be back - Most definitely!!!

  the bungalow was in a very clean, the bed in the master suite needs to be on solid flooring as it slides everytime you move. the garden was advertised as fully enclosed however this was not the case but the owners could fully enclose it very easily, unfortunatly on the second day we were there, the boiler started leaking fuel fumes into the bungalow, the owners did respond straight away and called in an engineer. he came the next day and changed a seal on the boilder and said this should solve the problem, however it only made things worse. The fumes got so bad it the engineer said he would return the next day with a new heat pump and this would fix the probems. By Day four we had to leave as the whole bungalow was flooded with the fumes. this made it unbareable and hard to breath. i called the letting company to find somewhere else for us to stay which they refused as the owners were trying to fix the problem and they were just the agents for the letting. Our whole holiday had been ruined at this point with myself needing medical attention due to the fumes. We decided as the letting company would not find us somewhere else we were forced to go back home.

  We booked this break for some much needed down time and it turned out to be perfect for just that. The accommodation itself was faultless. Very clean & tidy and had everything you would need and more. The kitchen was probably the best equipped in any of the places we have stayed. The location was perfect for us. A 5 min drive to the little village of Aberdaron where there are a few shops, cafes, pubs and a fish and chip shop/restaurant, along with the beautiful beach. We walked there which took about 35 mins and is a bit hilly but it's a nice walk. The views from the property are stunning and we saw some beautiful sunsets. It was perfect for taking the dog as he could just roam around the garden getting to know the neighbours (the sheep in the next field). If you want a walking holiday there are lots of walks to do here.The owners are very friendly and helpful and were on hand up the road at their farmhouse if we needed them. This property will definitely be on my list of ones to go back to. Thank you for a lovely stay.
