  Hi. We 4 friends had excellent 3ngt weekend, perfect for our 10ml walk to Moel Hebog, Moel Ogof & Moel Lefn on Sat then Sun 7ml easy lowland walk around all the slate quarries/mines.

  The cottage was very Welcoming, Quaint, Old and filled with lots of Character including Slate Chimney Alcoves and exposed Beams. It had everything we required, plenty of space to move around and accommodate, good facilities and lovely hot shower in the only bathroom in the cottage. Just a few pointers that I would recommend to the owners that would, for us, have made the whole experience that much more elevated and give a Big Plus for us to give 5*.They are mostly little things that make a big difference from "yeah, does what it says on the tin" to "I'm impressed". 1) Duvets & Pillows on beds quite thin, would suggest thicker warmer togged duvets, if not, then to provide extra blankets, which there were none, we resorted to having the heating on all night. 2) No blackout curtains in bedrooms. A little brightness from street lights penetrating the cream curtains in twin room and when dawn breaks, the rooms become fairly light, we used our snoods over our eyes to shut out the lightness. 3) Microwave is old, the push button to open/close the door keeps sticking so we were fiddling with it to get the button to pop out to allow door to close. 4) No lock on bathroom door to stop others entering at impromptu moments. 5) Both doors in-out of hall into lounge don't close so heat is being lost. 6) No paper or matches provided so that we could use the kindle & wood that was provided by the open fire place. 7) The on wall electric heaters very old, very difficult to turn the boost dials on all of them, they're worn and took long time for heat to distribute around the rooms so I would anticipate not being very efficient. One consolation were the 2 modern mobile heaters that were excellent and helped a lot.

  Brilliant little place, we were a party of 4adults, 1 child and a dog.

  Perfectly comfortable and not on top of each other. Would recommend and will probably book again. Kitchen was great had most things you needed, was missing a whisk but we are a family who cooks so may not be an issue for others, loved it had a caffitere and teapot (small things) the views were phenomenal especially when doing the washing up. The washing machine was an asset but drainage for machine pooling by shed door (don't know if owner is aware), I moved the washing line to be more functional as it was in the apple tree/bushes. Didn't use the open fire as weather was quite mild in the day (gutted to be honest). Walks around the area great, rhyd ddu path to yr wyddfa just a short drive away. If you have little one there is a small park down the road too. Would recommend to take a hand towel for the bathroom as whilst we took our towels (as advised) did miss a hand towel (just preference) so bought one in Tesco (porthmadog) On the bed in the attic I would of preferred a slightly bigger quilt just seemed a small double, especially when you have a quilt hogger and a small child diving in too. Anyone using the velux blinds push in to release the blind to put it up in the morning, just a tip as it has been years since I used one. Little heater in twin room great as it did get little chilly for our little one in the evening as place has storage heaters. TV was great as the use of a radio too. Recycling great and instructions given for bin days. Nothing the host would be able to do but we did have issues with a few flies in the dining room /living room but just bought fly spray. Parking on the road outside had no issues and we were a group with two cars. Would recommend a stay here!

  Title: Extremely Disappointing Holiday Rental Experience Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ I recently had the unfortunate experience of renting a house for my holiday, and I must say that it was an absolute disaster.

  From the moment we arrived, it became clear that this place was far from the advertised idyllic vacation spot. The property was riddled with numerous issues, including spider webs and overall uncleanliness that made our stay extremely unpleasant. One of the first things that struck us upon entering the house was the sight of spider webs in almost every corner. It seemed as though the property had not been cleaned in ages. The lack of basic hygiene left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We tried our best to overlook this initial setback, but as we explored further, we discovered a host of additional problems. The overall condition of the house was nothing short of disappointing. The floors were dirty and covered in dust, and it was evident that they hadn't been properly swept or mopped in a long time. The bathroom was particularly grimy, with mold growing in the corners. It was clear that no effort had been made to ensure the house was adequately cleaned and maintained for guests. Apart from the lack of cleanliness, the property itself was in disrepair. The garden was overgrown, with weeds sprouting up everywhere, giving the impression that it hadn't been maintained for quite some time. The outdoor seating area was dirty and unkempt, making it impossible to enjoy any time spent outside.

  The property is ideally situated in a very quiet road about 400 yards from the beach and within easy walking distance to shops and several restaurants.

  The garage was superbly equipped with toys for all ages! The sea view from the upstairs windows covering the estuary, sea, hills and castle was picture postcard material. The grandchildren were particularly enthusiastic about their bunk bed room with its nautical theme and unique lighting scheme. The house was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, full height fridge, and extra freezer in the garage. More than enough cutlery and dishes. The colourful and well maintained rear garden with its hot tub and lawn provided an excellent two level enclosed play or relaxation area Furnishings had been thoughtfully chosen and complemented with interesting lighting schemes. The single track railway line at the bottom of the garden was not a problem and never a noise nuisance. More than adequate parking for 3/4 cars. The main bedroom and with ensuite shower and bath provided a superb and large escape area for grandparents. Multiple televisions around the house were largely unused as there was too much to do! The house more than met its claim to be a ten person unit. We felt that this was a superb beautifully presented home where the owners had completed a total make-over and simply left it to us to enjoy.

  Firstly this cottage is in a absolutely stunning location, simply beautiful.

  The cottage itself has been lovely of restored by the owner and the attention to the finishes inside show how much effort has been taken with the restoration. Sadly we had a few issues with the cottage which were not resolved whilst we were staying there. On arrival the cottage smelt musty and was very cold, we were freezing and the 2 large radiators in the large lounge were not working properly, which made the downstairs very cold to sit in. We had to keep the hearing on and the fire going for 24hrs to warm the house through. There was also a lot of surface dust and dead flies in the property. I suspect it hadn’t not been used since the previous customers and had been cleaned but had sat unused for a few weeks, hence it feeling cold, musty, surface dust and flies. The house really is a beautiful little gem but the oversight on the few issues we experienced let it down slightly, which is a shame. We did message the number on t he email but never got a reply. I’m sure the summer months would be wonderful stay without the heating/cold issues and regular cleaning turn arounds would make a perfect little holiday home.
