We unloaded and the cleaners arrived saying arrival was 4pm so a bit of a mix up. However we managed to put all our items together and then went and did some shopping whilst they cleaned. Wasnât a great problem but think instructions need to be clear from Sykes. The other problem we had was the TV didnât work and the previous occupants had left a note to this effect. We eventually got through to someone in the Birmingham area who was very helpful and came and replaced the TV. The TV was replaced dry quickly and we were updated regularly. We forgot to report that the start button on the microwave was very hit and miss so may need looking at. On a more positive note the lounge was very comfortable as was the bed and we enjoyed our stay. The property is a short walk from Porthmadog town and the railway. There are also good walks to be done from the property if you do t want to use a car. A lovely quiet area.

Lovely clean comfy place and quiet too. Everything we needed. The games selection was really good, we played games every evening. Beds were very comfy with lovely soft sheets and gorgeous quilt covers. Fluffy towels too. We met the owner Kersti a lovely friendly woman, who said if we had any problems to contact her, but we had no problems. The only thing was the Sykes directions to the property said it was the end house and it's not, its 2nd to the end. Great having a parking space. Would definately go again. 2 minute walk to sea at Borth-y-Gest front and nice 15 minute walk to Porthmadog.
