  I booked Manaros cottage for our family getaway.

  It looked perfect for my parents, Mum uses a wheel chair so the open plan part of the main house looked amazing and a riser/recliner exactly like her one at home, brilliant. the offer of a hospital bed, great, she uses one at home............sadly all was not as it appeared in the pics when we arrived. The Fabric chair had been replaced with a leather type very unstable one. It was quite frankly awful and certainly not fit for a disabled person to use. So much so that mum actually slipped out one evening and we had to lift her up from the floor. Everytime she tried to get up the chair slid backwards so one of us had to stand behind it. The hospital bed looked ok but the mattress was so soft, when she sat on the edge it disappeared below the wooden rails which then cut into the back of her legs. In the separate wet room, the loo wouldnt flush properly and the cistern was quite loose. The kitchen was well equipped but as in previous comments some of the baking tins need replacing as do many of the light bulbs!! The furniture in the main living area was unusable for 6 out of 8 of us as it was very low and saggy. Even those of us without any issues couldnt get up once down! the dining room chairs werent much better and not having at least one with arms meant my mum had to stay in her wheelchair instead of being able to use a proper chair. The floors are very slippery and the room with on ensuit wet room/hospital bed is furthest from the main living area. The cottage is on a very steep hill so if you are a wheelchair user who isnt able to use one of the giant tramper thingys then it means taking the car down to the beach. Theres no way you could push a wheelchair down and certainly not up that hill. Its also to much for anyone elderly or a little unsteady. Obviously these things are not down to the onwers but I feel these details may be helpful to other people looking to come to the area, which is lovely. Sadly I cant comment on what the owners are like as they didnt bother to come and introduce themselves. A couple of days seems to be the standard response time to a text message. There are no instructions for the oven and as happens over time the makings have worn off.....No instruction for anything, no leaflets, no visitors book. Its a lovely property that needs a bit of TLC. Sadly it wasnt as suitable as I had hoped for my parents but every party has different needs

  We loved staying in Manaros Cottage but feel we must list the following as in a kindly way these things need attention.

  Some of the tins (baking and roasting tray( were rusty and well worn they could do with replacing. A whisk would be good though not essential. The door from the conservatory to the patio could not be opened (no key) when it was hot itwould have been helpful we could open it as some of the windows appeared stuck as well. The only real problem we found was the washing machine which was situated in the garage . The garage was obviously used by the "cleaning people" to handle washing from some other properties too. We found the inside door to the garage was unlocked which was fine as we wanted to use the washing machine but it also meant that people could come and go through the garage to use the bed linen towels etc washing facilities. We left our friend who has the disabilities at home in the lounge a few times while we went out in our car. She felt that person had come in through the adjacent door maybe to use the bathroom I don't know but she was conscious of that, The fact that we could not lock that door was a bit disconcerting Also when we came to use the washing machine there was already washing in it. Maybe if we had known about this arrangement we would have been more prepared. It put us off going into the garage which was a big storage room as well. However it is a beautiful cottage and we want the owners to know we loved staying there and it was very comfortable for our friend with disabilities and the rest of us.

  We really enjoyed our holiday at Manaros but had to mark it down for 3 things.

  We had 3 small children with us, 2 of whom are not yet walking and shuffle around on their bottoms. Within a very short time they were filthy. The floor was extremely dirty. Too be fair the cleaner did offer to do it but my daughter-in-law decided to do it herself. On the 2nd day the electricity kept tripping off. Because we couldn't initially get hold of the owner we had to sort it ourselves. We isolated it to the dishwasher and turned that off. We did manage to eventually contact Sykes and they contacted the owner who said he would get someone to have a look but nothing happened for the rest of the week. The house had everything we needed apart from a bit of grass. ( This only of concern to us as we have a very ladylike dog who will not go to the toilet on anything else.) We were lucky to have beautiful weather except for the Sunday when there was torrential rain. The gutters above the front and back doors were faulty resulting in cascades of water which had to be negotiated on leaving or entering. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of crockery etc. Brilliant location and would definitely recommend for a Family group or group of Friends.

  This is a well equipped pleasant holiday accommodation.

  My wife is a wheelchair user, hence my comments are largely related to wheelchair access. The entrance is up a bit of a slope which could be a difficulty for some wheelchair users. There are no steps or slopes inside so getting around inside is ideal. Each bedroom has an ensuite shower room The largest ensuite is a shower room with a very low shower tray, this isn't really large enough for a wheelchair to enable getting into the shower etc. The separate wet room is larger and therefore more useful for wheelchair access, however using this room would not give the privacy and convenience of an ensuite. The underfloor heating was very effective in the living/dining/kitchen area but did not work in the bedrooms. The nearby town of Aberdaron is very pleasant and is accessed via a steep hill.. You wouldn't want to push a wheelchair down or up the road to it, also it was too steep for our elderly companions to walk. Powerchairs that resemble a quad bike are available to take down to the beach, we didn't try them but they look great fun. We had a lovely time staying in this lovely home in this lovely part of Wales.

  We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Maneros.

  I honestly couldn’t fault anything. The bedroom with profiling bed was excellent and the wet room with wheel in chair in that room met all our sons needs and more. The kitchen exceeds expectations and had everything we could possibly need. The seating in the lounge was comfortable and we could see it had been made higher so was easy to get up from. The patio area was fantastic for sunny days (we had a few). Laundry facilities excellent in the garage and you could lock the door while not in use. The village is lovely with 2 great pubs, fish & chips, 2 cafes and a couple of small shops plus a lovely bakery. You have to drive down to it of mobility is limited but this wasn’t a problem as the car park is free if you hold a blue badge plus there is a tiny area of disabled parking next to the church. All in all this was the best accommodation we have stayed in and it’s a shame it’s so far away for us. If it was closer we would definitely have used it again
