What our customers say about their holidays

Rhiannon - Verified booking

We had a lovely stay at Rhos Y Foel.

The cottage was clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The lounge area was comfortable and we made full use of the hot tub, even on the few rainy days we had. The kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher, large oven, fridge with a small freezer, and a washer/dryer. The drawers had plenty of crockery, pans, trays and utensils. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean and comfortable, although the mattress on the king size bed could do with replacing or flipping. We both had sore backs by the end of the week, and on stripping the bed as per Covid instructions, noticed that there was no support where the mattress had dipped. The cottage was warm and cosy with the underfloor heating. The local garage and shop in Four Crosses (Y Ffor) sells kindling and logs for the wood burner if other residents want to light the wood burner. The garden was secure for our large husky/malamute cross, with an interlinking paddock with the cottage next door giving more secure space (the other cottage was unoccupied). You can enjoy walks along the roads around the site with lovely views of the coast and local woodland. The garden is private and over looks fields and the hills of the Llyn. The owners were around and made us feel welcome, but were not intrusive. We used to live in the area, and have family still living there, so it was an ideal base to safely visit those we could. We enjoyed the beaches and walks around the Llyn Peninsular, including the estuary in Criccieth and the beaches at Morfa Nefyn and Porthdinllaen. Located centrally, we were close to Pwllheli where there are plenty of shops and local independent retailers in the surrounding areas. There are also plenty of retailers in Criccieth, Porthmadog and further afield to Caernarfon and Bangor. Overall, we had a relaxing week in the cottage and would highly recommend the cottage for a peaceful stay.

We booked this holiday cottage for a well earned couple of days away, and it didnât disappoint.

The location of the cottage was lovely, as were the views of the mountains to the back of the cottage. The decor and finish was to a high standard and the private hot tub was an added bonus which we made the most of!! Dog friendly and not too far away from local beaches and towns for exploring. The bed was comfortable and the shower room very nice. My Husband and I felt very comfortable and relaxed during our time at Rhos Y Foel and wouldnât hesitate to return! Some aspects for improvement we felt would add to the experience of the cottage are:- Blackout curtains in the master bedroom is an absolute must - in the winter months it perhaps wouldnât be an issue but whilst we stayed, as soon as the sun started to rise before 5am(!!) the bedroom was extremely light! It made it difficult to âlie inâ and feel this is something that could easily be adjusted. The cottage would also benefit from a few more items of kitchenware such as a microwave, tin opener, baking trays and saucepans. It would be useful also to have a toiletries tray in the shower, and some bigger towels as these were on the small side! We understand that in the area the phone signal isnât great and this was reflected in the WiFi which although was just useable, we ended up using our 4G if needed. Lastly, the check-in & check-out times could be more lenient - as we only stayed for 2 nights, the check in time of after 3pm meant we had less than half a day on arrival, plus only 1 more full day, as checkout was at 10am the following morning. Perhaps allowing slightly earlier check in and slightly later checkout would make it feel less of a rush especially when only spending a couple of nights there. Overall, these are things that could be changed very easily, but we throughly enjoyed our time at the cottage.

Lovely cottage with stunning views!

We enjoyed our stay. The owners seemed friendly. Easy drive to Pwllheli, Nefyn and surrounding areas. The living room/kitchen was light and spacious, and the garden was secure for the dogs. Cooking utensils were provided, and there was a small under-counter fridge for those wanting to cook at the cottage. The sofas and beds werenât the comfiest, but they were okay for a few nights. The bathroom was nice, although the extractor fan was temperamental. The wifi was fast and we never had any issues with it. The book provided is helpful, as it includes information about the cottage, local area, takeaways, etc. We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco, which was a lovely touch - thank you! The hot tub was a great addition, weâre missing it already! Some instructions on how to use it may be useful, as it took us a while fiddling with the buttons to get the jets/lights on. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days and found we had to buy a lot of extras ourselves, such as toilet roll (we were provided with 2 rolls), kitchen towel, salt & pepper, oil, washing machine pods, bin bags (we were only provided with the ones in the bin already, no spares), cling film/tin foil. I would suggest those staying for a longer period to pack these with them. Bring your own towels too, as the ones provided are on the smaller size. The check out in/times arenât good. You canât check in until 5pm, and must check out by 9am!! Please bare in mind when booking that you will lose a day either side of your holiday, as on your first day you only get the evening, and the last day you only get a an hour or two in the morning. So, despite us booking Mon-Fri, we only got to enjoy 3 days at the cottage, which we were disappointed with.

Karen - Verified booking

The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable and the owner was helpful putting things right as necessary.

What let the cottage down was the basics not being available. No hand wash in the kitchen, the tiniest amount of washing up liquid, not one dishwasher tablet, no fire starter pack, one solitary toilet roll, the smallest welcome pack we have ever experienced, 2 tea bags, 2 instant coffee sachets, pint milk - welsh cakes were appreciated though, no spare bin bags, resolved, no hot tub towels, resolved, no washing line or clothes maiden, resolved. We don't expect all inclusive and we bring provisions it did feel that the basics were skimped on. The lack of a visitors book was a real shame, as they can be so helpful with previous visitors recommendations. There is an information pack however it is out of date. We went to a market detailed in there to find is ceased trading a year ago and the farm shop has very little there not worth the drive. Some of the places recommended are a long way from the cottage. As previous visitors have mentioned, the bathroom can become smelly at times, the lack of net curtains in the bedroom creates a lack of privacy. The hot tub recommended temperature of 34 degrees creates a luke warm tub and is nowhere near hot enough. We have rented several properties with hot tubs and have never encountered this. It should be declared on the listing, I would not book a cottage that insisted on this. Again, this felt like a cost cutting exercise. Overall, an absolutely lovely property and the owner was helpful. We had a lovely time staying there, just needs a bit more attention to visitors' needs.

Sarah - Verified booking

The property bigger than expected, and was clean enough but felt a bit unloved.

It has bags of potential, but there were a few things that would stop us from retuning; The bathroom tiles and grout needed a good scrub on the floor. The kitchen was well stocked for utilities, however the toaster leaver was broke? Furnishings were sparse and in a lot of cases broken or well worn. There were things missing I would have expected to find like a hair dryer, a bath mat, an internet router, bin bags, plus the usual foil, oil, salt, pepper etc weâve come to expect not to be present due to lockdown. A door mat for the front door and muddy boots, and a door mat at the back for the hot tub would have been useful to stop us treading mud and water in. The front door needs a blind - itâs very exposed to the neighbouring property and parking spaces which impacts privacy. The hot tub was fine, some sand in it but had read previous reviews and expected this. There was some dark black scuffing marks on the tub which didnât look great but didnât impact the usage. I was also a bit surprised one morning when sat in the garden in my pjs and someone just walked through the field into the static van next to the property, I had been under the impression that it was a private location. Besides the niggles with the property, the area was mostly quiet and Nefyn itself was a beautiful place. There are great views from the cottage and a lovely walk via route 41 to Morfa Nefyn over the tops.
