While some minor suggestions for improvement are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Guests frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. One review suggested additional vacuuming under sofas, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall high praise for cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its beautiful views and as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. The proximity to local amenities and attractions is appreciated, although one review mentioned limited dining options within walking distance.
Comfort is a strong point for Seaclusion, with guests finding the property very comfortable and the beds particularly cosy. There is a single mention of a desire for higher heating settings, but overall, the reviews reflect a very comfortable stay.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-stocked kitchen and the addition of an extra bathroom. However, some guests noted issues with water pressure and heating control, suggesting room for improvement in these areas.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the welcome gifts and provisions, which are mentioned positively. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should be aware that these are a bonus rather than an expectation.

The view is amazing and it was lovely to sit out on the balcony with our morning cuppa. The house is well-equipped, it had everything we needed and more! Itâs furnished to a high standard and in a good location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Beautifully furnished, well equipped, comfortable and with a stunning view. Y Felinheli is a good base for touring this corner of North Wales. However, the town itself has very limited facilities. The only choice in walking distance for Dining out in the evening was the local pub, which is quite good but limited (A Thai Restaurant and La Marina tapas bar have both recently closed)
