  We visited Glascoed on 17th October 2019 for a week, it’s a very nice end of terrace cottage ideally located for touring the Llyn Peninsula.

  There are some pros and cons when it comes to Glascoed and we were a bit concerned about some of the other reviews we had read. It’s true to say that the decor is a bit dated especially the sofa and chairs, the living room carpet also had a large hole cut in it which was covered by a rug. The property was however clean when we arrived. The large enclosed back garden was ideal for our dogs, or so we thought, however there was a break in the fence adjoining the downstairs bathroom filled with deckchairs and garden debris. On our second day we found out why as a massive aggressive Great Dane and Mixed Breed Mastiff tried to break through and attack our dogs (they appeared to be alone guarding the empty property next door and where allowed out periodically). A couple of days in to our trip I also got a very nasty electric shock off the electric storage heater in the living room (not good considering I have a heart condition), Sykes and the owner quickly got an electrician out to rewire and sort out the problem while we where out at one of our trips to the beach. Another issue is the downstairs toilet and bathroom and some very steep stairs, if you need to pee during the night be prepared for a trek! Despite all the negative issues we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Llyn, I wouldn’t return to Glascoed however until it has been updated a little with some new furniture and furnishings.

  Lovely well maintained and quiet holiday park.

  Cottage was pretty basic but a good base to explore the surrounding area. Thank you for the tea, coffee and milk when we arrived, was much needed after travelling for a few hours. Nice and clean, although it would have been nice to have the use of a hoover or even a dust pan and brush as floors downstairs and up are laminate flooring so if you take your furry friend with you there will likely be dog hairs everywhere (we actually went out and bought a dust pan and brush for this reason). The two sofas are in desperate need of replacing, they've definitely seen better days, not comfortable at all, you can feel the frame of the sofas in some places. Kitchen was stocked well with pots, pans and utensils, everything needed for cooking meals, could do with a few more glasses though. Beds were fairly comfortable but mattresses are pretty thin and mattress in the room with the bunk bed you could feel the spring through. Maybe a mattress topper would help? The outside area to the front was lovely and a nice suntrap in the afternoon. It's a shame the area in the back isn't enclosed though as had two of the neighbours dogs wandering about by the back door. It would have been nice to have had some instructions left to say about what to do with bedding and towels after our stay. Overall an enjoyable holiday and lovely holiday park and would book again if the sofas were replaced.

  The cottage and enclosed garden is lovely, and is a short walk from pub, beaches and short drive to local towns etc.

  Also very comfortable bed, and good collection of books and music etc. There are a couple of things that would really improve this cottage. When we arrived it was a lovely afternoon, but turned very cold in the evening. There were only a couple of logs and no sticks newspapers etc to get the log burner going. After a 5 hour drive the last thing you want is to have to go out when you arrive to buy sticks etc. The night storage heaters had been turned off, so we had a very cold first night. Also a few instructions on how the storage heater controls work would be useful. As we came with two dogs it would be nice to be able to wash the floor, especially as the bathroom is downstairs, there is no mop or bucket and the Hoover was next to useless.(think the filters etc need sorting). Also agree with previous guest that kitchen utensils are bit grubby. We left a bag and half of logs sticks newspapers for next guest. Would also be nice for a bit more local information things to do etc in the cottage folder would be useful. We would defiantly stay here again if the above few things were sorted. Wales is a lovely place to visit and this would have been perfect holiday if the few things mentioned had been right.

  Absolutely loved our stay.

  The holiday park was very clean and beautiful throughout, with great facilities for dog walkers. The accommodation was like home from home. The house reminded us of a terraced house and it was perfect for our family of 4, plus the dog. Our stay was during the heatwave, so by the Wednesday it was too hot to take the dog out, so we took advantage of the sites woodlands, which was perfectly shaded and cool for the dog, so we took the dog into the woodlands and along the river, during the day and went out in the car after 8pm. Loads of lovely local places to visit. My husband and son climbed Snowdon twice and we visited a variety of nearby attractions, with the furthest being 45 minutes drive. There was a tesco, morrisons, asda, home bargains and McDonald's only 4 minutes drive away, which was convenient. My only suggestion would be to tidy up the back garden, but that's all. The site was stunning, very big, attractive and spotless. We would definitely go again.

  1 Crud Y Mor is a beautiful house, in a beautiful location.

  Everything felt brand new, with luxurious decor and fittings and a lovely sunny garden with comfy patio furniture. Everything and more you could possibly need has been thought about by the owners. A welcoming touch was the selection of teas/coffee and Welsh Cakes left for us. There is also a spacious level car parking space to the front of the house which was ideal. A 2 minute walk takes you past the Min Y Mor Hotel and onto the beach, and a short walk along the promenade takes you into the town where there are plenty of shops and places to eat, a mini fairground and even donkey rides available on the beach. A little further on, there is the picturesque harbour with bars and restaurants looking over the boats and bridge crossing the estuary. Barmouth is a beautiful seaside town and our holiday was made all the more special because we stayed here. You will not be disappointed if you book this beautiful house and we look forward to visiting again
