We had an absolutely wonderful week at Black Rock Hideaway. The location is fantastic: easy walking distance to one of the most beautiful and expansive sandy beaches I've seen in the UK, with crystal clear water and a backdrop of mountains and dunes; as a base for exploring Snowdonia with its glorious landscapes of forest, river, lakes, majestic mountains and gentle countryside, it's also excellent. A short walk away is a nice cafe which does great wood fired pizza. Porthmadog, a few minutes' drive, has all you need for groceries and other things (including two heritage railways!). The house itself is very good quality and spacious accommodation. The kitchen is a particular highlight, but the living space is also great - if there was a problem with the sofa it had been fixed by the time we stayed. Outside space was pleasant and practical. The double bed is comfortable, the twin mattresses will need replacing soon but were fine.

Very spacious property with a great conservatory. Plenty of parking. Thetes limited amenities within walking distance except for the beach. Good location to drive to many attractions. Unfortunately though the property has damp and mould in the bathroom and bedrooms. The sofa is broken and the front gate is heavy and has dropped. Its also difficult to open most of the windows. Its a great base if you're out all day
