Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be spotlessly clean, with only a few isolated comments about specific cleanliness issues. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, indicating high standards of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions, including beaches and Harlech Castle. The accessibility to outdoor activities and the peaceful setting contribute to its high rating.
Guests have consistently noted the comfort of the property, mentioning comfy beds, spacious rooms, and a cosy log burner. The house accommodates a wide age range, suggesting a comfortable environment for all.
Facilities like the hot tub, sauna, and games room are highlights, though some maintenance issues with the hot tub and kitchen equipment were reported. The presence of a well-equipped kitchen and secure storage for bikes adds to the positive feedback.
While some guests missed a welcome tray and mentioned the lack of certain kitchen items, there is not enough consistent information on thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are subject to change and not guaranteed.

The house is situated in a fabulous position with exceptional views. The beach is close by and absolutely stunning. The house provides everything you need for your stay, it is clean, the games room keeps everybody amused when the rain appears and its is very spacious - there is space for everyone. The hot tub was a bonus which we all enjoyed. Thank you too for the lovely welcome basket, a nice touch- it was much appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend.
