Guests say
Guests consistently praise Dornberg for its stunning views, cleanliness, and comfortable furnishings. The property's location is ideal for exploring North Wales and Anglesey, with many appreciating the thoughtful touches like a welcome bottle of wine and Welsh cakes. The balcony and proximity to the marina are highlights, contributing to a memorable stay.
Reviews frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean', indicating high standards of cleanliness. One review noted the absence of some cleaning materials, but this does not detract significantly from the overall impression of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and convenience as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. The proximity to the marina and the inclusion of the coastal path add to the appeal.
Guests find the property comfortable, with cosy bedrooms, good quality furnishings, and comfortable beds. The mention of a warm cupboard and challenging stairs for seniors suggests minor comfort issues for some.
The property is well-equipped with a variety of entertainment options like table football and darts. However, some guests noted the lack of certain items such as tea towels, soap, and an iron, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The thoughtful gestures of a welcome bottle of wine and Welsh cakes are well-received, although it should be noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not a guaranteed amenity. The provision of games, books, and DVDs also reflects consideration for guests' enjoyment.

Fenilheli is a great base from which to explore North Wales, being only a few miles from so many other lovely places, and is also a short hop over to Anglesey. Despite being there in October, we were blessed with some fabulous weather which enabled us to enjoy the balcony, the boating on the Menai Strait and some breathtaking sunsets. A photographer's dream. (And the beds are extremely comfortable).
