Guests say

Cwm Orthin is a well-received holiday cottage in Borth-Y-Gest, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, secure garden, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. The property offers stunning sea views and is conveniently located for beach walks and local attractions.

Most guests found the property spotlessly clean, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, a few instances of overlooked areas, such as cobwebs and leftover towels, slightly detract from an otherwise excellent standard.

The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to beaches, scenic walks, and local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring North Wales & Snowdonia.

Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds and cosy living spaces, with only minor comments about pillow preferences. The property's comfort is a standout feature.

The property is well-equipped, with a few minor suggestions for additional items and maintenance. The well-maintained garden and quality kitchen equipment are frequently commended.

While guests express gratitude for welcome gifts and the secure garden for pets, there is not enough consistent mention of thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed.
