I can't put into words how incredible the views are from this house, honestly nothing better than watching the sunset over the sea and seeing the bats come out. So peaceful, it was so quiet in the evenings and the beds were very comfortable! I would highly recommend this property!

Had a fabulous few days away. The property was ideally situated for exploring the area. Lovely beach on the doorstep and great woodland walk straight from the door. There were a few steep steps up to the property but the view was worth the climb. Check in was really easy and contact with the host was good too.Everywhere was clean and comfortable and very well equipped for a relaxing stay.

We had the most delightful stay at Graigwen Cottage. It is very well equipped and the views are amazing! The bedrooms are very well-appointed and comfortable. We felt very comfortable there & loved the small town and walks. A walk to Black Sands Beach was delightful. Thank-you for a perfect holiday with friends.

Short staycation

A very pleasant house, plenty of room, all facilities and a lovely view to the beach and sea Ideally placed for outings into Snowdonia and Llyn peninsula. A lot of steep steps coming into and out of the house was quite challenging for us oldsters

Fabulous!

Beautiful, charming, cosy and classy cottage with amazing views. So comfortable with everything you could possibly need and a great nights sleep. Super clean; communication was great. The area is really lovely with great coastal walks discovering many hidden coves. Highly recommended and throughly deserves the 5 star rating.

Great place with excellent views. On the downside it’s quite a hike up a number of steps to access. Not good if one is travelling heavy! Cooker needs attention as the fan oven did not heat, ignition on two rings wouldn’t work and cooker light didn’t come on. Ideally, but no space, the house should have a clothes dryer

Fabulous cottage

We stayed here for 3 nights and were blessed with amazing weather. The cottage is perfect in every way yes there are a lot of steps but it’s worth it. Gorgeous views from the terrace and a lovely wildlife garden at the back. Fully equipped with everything we could need. The birds were so tame and were happy to come and sit with you. We walked along to Porthmadog to eat out and tried Tafarn Pencei bar/ cafe near the harbour great pub food and well priced. The walk out the side gate up the hill gave us great views and a lovely sunset. Would love to go back and just wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks again

Beautiful location gorgeous cosy accomodation

We spent our Christmas in this gorgeous property and can not fault it. The location was perfect. Amazing views, very peaceful (out of season will have made a difference as a lot of the properties looked like holiday rentals) however “The Moorings” restaurant was open 23rd and most of 24th Dec. and the “Sea View cafe”was open Boxing Day - (all with in a few minutes walk from the cottage) where we enjoyed a wonderful cooked breakfast. We had an amazing coastal walk on Christmas Day round to Black Rock Sands. The cottage was cosy, warm and very well equipped. It is a bit of a trek up and down the “49 steps” to the property, but a work out didn’t do us any harm (especially after the Christmas indulgences!) and the view once there is so worth it. Highly recommend it.
