What our customers say about their holidays
Deirdre - Verified booking
I love this property and this was my second stay here over the Christmas week.
The house is warm, comfortable, comfy bed, good main shower and has amazing views at the rear. It contains everything you need at a holiday rental. It's full of character and history. It's perfectly located in Borth y Gest, only minutes walk to the beach and harbour. We've never had any issues parking in BYG even in peak season, we visit a lot as my partner spent his childhood here and we both love the area. We didn't use the garden as it was winter but I'm sure it is lovely in the warmer weather. I have to admit, I'd read the reviews from October and November before my stay and I was worried about what the property would be like when I arrived. I didn't find anything like the reviews say. However, that said, the property was not as clean as my previous visit in December 2023. The kitchen was in need of a good deep clean, kick boards were very grubby, cupboards and splash back tiles had drips and splashs on from previous guests, a lot of crumbs in and under the toaster. Under the front of the cooker was a layer of grime that the mop was clearly was not getting for some time. The bottom oven didn't work, we didn't need it, but had I have wanted to cook a Christmas meal here, I would have needed someone out to sort it. The top oven was so smokey, it made my eyes water, so I abandoned warming up my bread rolls and had them cold. Most doors were grubby with hand marks etc. and skirting boards, upstairs in particular, were dusty with lots of cobwebs around the radiators. The covers on the sofas were grubby particularly on the back of the one in the window, as were the cushions. The windows were very dirty and when the sun briefly came out, you couldn't see through them particularly at the front of the property. None of the above was a major issue during my stay but it has put me off booking again. For a premium priced property, I expect a little more. I will say there were no dog hairs anywhere which I'm grateful for, as I have a poodle who doesn't shed, so I'm not used to dog hair. The Internet on the TV didn't work as the connection box for the TV was missing from the property so we only had basic TV for the week. Again not a major issue for us. I was contacted 2 and a half hours after I left the property to ask if I'd taken a cushion from the sofa by mistake which I was a bit miffed about. I'm really not sure why I would. Overall this is a nice property but it needs a deep clean. My previous stay had been perfect.

If I could give no stars I would about the property .
We turned up excited for our stay our holiday and rest was needed . When we opened front door we knew that we wouldnât be staying. The house had a very bad smell of damp and urine . We went in to look and there was damp on wall soon as u entered property. The wooden floors were stained and rugs well they were fit for bin . We further investigated upstairs there was no proper handrails only a rope to get up . If you have a disability then this is a big problem nowhere in the description of let did it say not suitable for disabled persons. The stair treads were cracked and ready to split . Going out to the rear of property you have to descend into a basement area which the smell was absolutely disgusting. It was damp and mouldy on walls . Looked really spooky . Wouldnât really want to be letting my dog out late at night down there as thereâs no front garden . As you can see it wasnât great it was that bad we didnât stay 1 NIGHT we went straight home very disappointed . We rang Skyeâs and told them hoping they as the letting agent would assist .NO THEY DIDNT they said contact OWNER we paid £600 to SYKES SO THEY SHOULD SORT IT !!! The owner then said we should of stayed to give them time to rectify the PROBLEMS!!! We donât want to stay on HOLIDAY when people are coming in deep cleaning or changing rugs or painting damp walls or fixing stairs !! I HOPE PEOPLE SEE THIS AS RIGHT AND THAT AM NOT BEING UNREASONABLE TO STAY IN A HOUSE THAT NEEDED REPAIR !!! After speaking to the cleaner/OWNER THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAVE SHUT THE HOUSE DOWN FOR S MONTH TO SORT THE ISSUES OUT AS ITS BEEN A LONG YEAR OF LETTINGS

House is in a great location and views from the property are stunning , really easy to get to Porthmadog and around via bus or car .
We had no issues with parking at the house and loved waking up to the views , the bed was very comfy. The house is a good space , but it really needs a deep clean and the overall upkeep of the house we felt let the stay down. For example, the bath anti slip had pink mould on it, the bedroom had mould, bathrooms had very mouldy grout, fridge was dirty, sofa covers marked etc and not sure on the big rugs in the bathroom for hygiene reasons. When we arrived the house was very cold and was cold in the morning, it would be a nice touch if the heating could be put on before arrival. Once we located the thermostat it did warm up but there are no instructions for what to do with rubbish at the house , operation of heating etc so we had to guess. The tea and coffee canisters were pretty much empty, bin bags not placed in the bin and no surface spray or wipes etc to be found, so make sure you bring your own but a nice gesture of milk and Welsh cakes at the house! The stairs down into the garden are actually via an internal staircase which is fairly steep and the area smells strongly of mould - also not sure if someone lives in the downstairs area as it looked like another apartment. We felt a bit unsure/unsafe as it felt like someone had access from this area up to the main house as there is no lockable door between the house and internal basement stairs. This made us not want to use the garden so we took our dog around the block instead through the front door. £20 for a dog cleaning fee feels rather steep considering the overall condition of the property which has so much potential.

Pump Cottage has been the beloved holiday home of its owner's family for several generations.
My friend and I arrived to find it clean and tidy with certainly no sign of pet hair or anything strange that another recent visitor claimed to have found. You can see clearly what is in each room from the photos on the Sykes website. The living room is as the family use it and is traditionally styled. The colours are green and red, incidentally, not the curious turquoise and orange apparent on the website. There's T.V. and WiFi . Mobile 'phone reception is best tried upstairs. The kitchen , like the bathroom, is modern. Everything functions. Everything you might need for cooking, dining, storing, cleaning is provided, including washing up liquid. The fridge/ freezer is spacious. There is a percolator for coffee, a kettle and teapot on the work surfaces, microwave above the oven and toaster on the cupboard to the left. The front bedroom is the more spacious. Both contain two single beds with mattresses of a supportive variety rather than the sink - into - it type. There are drawers and clothes hanging hooks on the doors. A hair dryer, clothes hangers and a hot water bottle can be found in a cupboard on the landing. There are helpful notices about the cottage to inform you about such things as the system for recycling and rubbish bins, also two folders of information about local traders, restaurants, places to visit, photos of the area and an interesting history of Borth y Gest village. You reach Glyn Terrace ( or Stryd Pwmp ) via the steep slope of Mersey Street, but you will find parking spaces on the flat opposite the row of cottages.

A fantastic stay at Bwythyn y Mor which is comfortable, clean and has everything that you want.
The home is bright and airy and had plenty of space for us as a family of four with an infant and two dogs. The beds were comfortable with plenty of storage space and tbe lounge was huge with two large sofas. The separate loo downstairs is a bonus and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for your stay and to cook for the whole family. Set in a perfect location, just a stones throw from the beach, with a lovely restaurant (which does a great breakfast) the location is fantastic and there is a lovely cut through walk into Porthmadog via the harbour. Unfortunately (and we don't get to say this often in this country) the weather was too hot so with the dogs and the little one we weren't able to do the coastal path walk to Black Rock Sands but we have heard it is well worth doing so will try to do on our next trip. The only thing I would say could do with upgrading at Bwythyn y Mor would be the patio area at the back could do with making bigger and the flags laying again as they move. Having dogs and a little one, if it perhaps had a small fence around the patio with a little gate, it would be a perfect area to relax and enjoy the outdoors. All in all we had a brilliant time and would definitely return to Bwythyn y Mor and recommend it to others.
