  We absolutely loved our stay at Gwel y Mor.

  We booked last minute as the weather forecast looked promising, dry but cold. On arrival at the apartment we collected the keys easily and the parking space was very handy. The apartment was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. Heating the apartment was no trouble despite how cold it was and we were extremely comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the shower/bath had instant hot water. We cooked our evening meals and again all the crockery, cooker fridges etc were spotless. There was a dishwasher but we didn't use it as that's my job! TV and internet was faultless and we were very happy in the apartment. However the star of the show is the view! You literally sit in the bay windows looking directly out to sea! To your left is Harlech with its castle and the Rhinog ridge on the skyline from Moel Ysgyfarnogod to Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach, Y Llethr, Diffwys, Moelfre and dropping away to Barmouth! Then Cader Idris stands sentinel and the coast is visible heading down towards Cardigan. On your right is Llanbedrog with it famous Tin Man stood on the headland and then the coast as it curves round past Abersoch to the Cilan headland and the St Tudwal islands with Bear Grylls light house winking at you! In a morning we sat with a hot cuppa as the sun rose behind the mountains and then lit up the sea and in the evening the sky towards the headland was the most glorious orange! Despite coming here to walk it was hard to drag ourselves away from the view and actually get out! The Wales Coastal footpath runs right past the apartment and the Llyn Peninsula is blessed with so many wonderful footpaths either coastal or hills. It's easy to catch the train along the Cambrian Coast and the buses are only 15 minutes walk away. If you do come here between April and September check out the Fflecsi bus service which picks you up and drops you off all around the Llyn for a nominal fee, its a fantastic way to get about. Pwllheli was around 15 minutes walk and there are supermarkets and fuel so there is everything you need. The owner had left us coffee, tea bags, milk in the fridge, Welsh Cakes and chocolate biscuits which were a really nice touch. There were lots of other little extras like phone charging cables, books, games, information and a fantastic pair of binoculars to use. Communication was really good and it was one of the best apartments we have stayed in and we hope to return very shortly as we are already missing the views. Many thanks for a great stay Glyn & Ann .............Diloch yn fawr

  This is the worst property we have stayed in over the 8 years of using sykes.

  Be prepared to take cleaning clothes,loo roll,washing up liquid and mop as the owners don't provide them. The hoover wasn't emptied and the steam cleaner and type of long handle duster thing was dirty and disgusting so had to go out and buy cleaning items.No surfaces in living room,bedroom have been dusted in weeks in fact this place wants a deep clean especially in corners of rooms where dirt and debris collected. In the bedroom there was a disgusting damp stained dog bed which needs to go in bin. Cobwebs with spiders in all rooms and very musky damp smell about the place. A lovely welcome pack of wine,cheese, butter,bread and milk was left but I think that money would have been better spent on starter pack of 1 loo roll as there was none, cleaning clothes and wash liquid. There isn't even a frying pan or oven trays to cook anything on. There was a roasting tray so we did everything on that. This apartment is situated in a lovely place and great for town and beach and accessible to great North wales days out. Also why is the apartment above have its doorbell connected to this apartment....very annoying and loud. We spent 3 days speaking and emailing photos to sykes who did absolutely nothing except contact owners who offered a reclean which I refused as we didn't want anyone in there with all our possessions and this should be clean b4 we got there. Owners said no compensation which we never asked for anyway. We won't be back. Very disappointed with lack of care from owners and sykes.

  Lovely place, everything you need for a short or longer break.

  Nice welcome pack. Well equipped but an iron and and a hairdryer would be great to add. Fantastic well maintained patio and a garden. Few downsides. As apart of a bigger property we had the ground floor and further two floors were occupied by other people. You could hear every noise especially the little boy running up and down from 7:30 every morning. Not ideal if you come to catch up with a sleep. The parking space on the back where our entrance was I thought was just for us, but our neighbours had two cars so they parked one on the front and the other in our space. That was causing problem getting to and from the car as the space wasn't quite big enough for two cars. Confusion with the waste collection. The rubbish has been cancelled every three weeks. We didn't know if that was the right week. The bin was full. We took it down the hill to the main road (quite a journey) just to find out that the general wast was collected last week, so we had to bring the full bin back. Visitors should be given the exact dates when the collection is actually happening. Overall our dogs and we had a lovely time.

  Overall a TERRIFIC apartment and a great stay !

  !! the view and location are brilliant and the apartment is extremely well kitted out and was spotlessly clean and tidy some "constructive comments" if I may...... the bedroom windows need black out blinds on all plus the stable door to the balcony......essentially we woke up at dawn each day and struggled to get back to sleep as the room was so light blackout blinds have been put on two of the bedroom windows ...which was absolutley needed as there is a street lamp literally outside the window....but the front window and stable door could do with blackout blinds being fitted also, we were unable to open any of the bedroom or kitchen windows....i appreciate the fact that safety is a consideration but the apartment is essentially aimed at adults WITH A BALCONY so how dangerous can it be to supply the window key to the bedroom window and the kitchen window we were also disappointed that the Jacuzzi wasn't working as that was one of the reasons we booked the apartment....but only a small point As I said overall it is excellent and we had a great stay

  I thought going with a company such as sykes would be a safe bet the day before we arrived we were sent a msg to say there would be scaffolding around the building I thought that was Really.

  Good they let us know when we got in it was a case of ooh this is lovely and quirky upside down lay out but it was really quite dirty toothpaste spat up the bathroom cabinet, layers of dust everywhere and a chip box under sette the oven microwave and fridge were also dirty the light in the bathroom had the cover hanging dwn so bare wires I e mailed sykes Fri there was no answer till I actually called them on sunday I sent over all the pics and they said I would hear from the owners that was 2 wks ago no answer I held off review as I thought it only fare to hear the explanation looking at the guest book there were 2 or 3 who said dissappointed that they'd had no answer I think we were first of the season as last entry was December 23 so Id of thought it would of been a good first clean I'm dissappointed with Sykes as they advertise the property
