I will be recommend this holiday home to my friends. The views are spectacular, the house itself is very memorable and we were sad to leave. The location, particularly Borth y Gest village and beach, is gorgeous and we were well placed for hiking and mountain climbs. Huw gave us a warm welcome and helped us to find the perfect spot to view the eclipse!

The property is in a beautiful setting with glorious views over the estuary. There is a faded grandeur about it. We were warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay.

Stunning views and location

A lovely property in a stunning location. Our break was hampered by the weather but the host was brilliant at helping with suggestions and quick to sort a couple of minor teething issues. Would recommend and will likely to return in the summer months

Spectacular location and comfortable stay.

We really enjoyed staying here. The ever changing view was great. The property itself is light and colourful. Communication with the owner was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed kayaking locally, visiting Portmerion and climbing up Snowdon. Highly recommend staying here.

Amazing views!

This is a lovely property in a great spot. The views from every room are amazing! Great to be able to see the Ffestiniog railway crossing the cob. Lots of walks from the door, including into Porthmadog. The outdoor area is lovely. We had a great time.

Family expedition to Porthmadog

Great place in a great location. Ideally situated for visiting North Wales and has lots of amenities within walking distance. There are easily reachable local beaches in Borth y Gest and beyond. The views of the ever changing Glaslyn estuary and the surrounding hills are amazing. There is a large terrace facing the estuary and and an extensive enclosed lawned garden area. Host Gwyn was very helpful in telling us about places to visit and where to eat out.

We choose this property for the views, and they didn't disappoint. It is an area we know well and the property was very convenient for visiting the beautiful beaches at Borth y Gest or further afield. It is very spacious and quiet, with uninterrupted views over the estuary and just the occasional boat passing by, or the steam train going along the cob.Just a few things stopped it from being outstanding - it wasn't 100% clean or well maintained with a lot of old cobwebs in the kitchen over the hob, we found a dog toy and bits of wood under one of the sitting room chairs, there was a piece of curtain rail just hanging down from the window frame. Curtains in the main bedroom didn't block much light so bring an eye mask if you like the dark! Furniture is a mixture of antique and more modern and two sofas in the lounge would have been more comfortable. The apartment is on the first and second floor - not a problem for us but should be made clearer for anyone with mobility issues. The place is BIG and the stairs are steep so, along with the walk up the hill, you will definitely get your steps in! The little garden provided with decking was lovely but the chairs quite rusted and not that comfortable and no side table - we didn't spend much time there but would have done if there had been some comfy loungers! It's a quite a way from the kitchen so not that convenient if you wanted to bring down afternoon tea etc. For these reasons I would try the stables property in future

Amazing location, Stunning views

Just got back from lovely family break. Property in a stunning location with breathtaking views. Private garden with viewing point was beautiful - perfect for BBQ or chilling with a book. Terrace at the front needed some TLC, views were spectacular, however not particularly private from property owners lounge (directly overlooking the terrace). Property itself was huge with all necessary amenities, however definitely in need of updating and remedial work. Views from all rooms were gorgeous - every room light and airy. With regards to cleanliness, the kitchen and bathrooms clean, however like the rest of the house in need of a good spruce up. Shower room had black mold on the ceiling which had just been wiped off and there were several large cracks and damp patches throughout the other rooms. A lot of cobwebs and dust, however to be fair, a very large and grand house to keep spotlessly clean. In terms of the owner, very friendly, accomodating and helpful, and we would love to give the property a 5 star review, however it is just a little tired and would benefit from a bit of love. Location was perfect- 10 minute walk to either Porthmadog or Borth Y Gest, with the latter having 3 beautiful sandy coves, which were dog friendly and fairly safe to swim in. Borth Y Gest was a beautiful little village with great views, a small beach and two lovely bars/restaurants. All in all we had a fantastic, restful stay and would highly recommend the house (despite the cosmetics) and location.

Dear Michelle - thank you for your review and I’m glad you had a lovely family break. You mention cleaning, and privacy on the terrace. The cleaning needs to be perfect and usually is. In your case I was not able to do my check because of your early arrival. I am sorry for that. If you d mentioned it I would have had it dealt with immediately. As for the privacy on the terrace, yes it is overlooked and that is why we also provide Sandbanks with the sole use of a private garden, and that is not overlooked. You very kindly end by saying your holiday was ‘fantastic and restful’. Thank you for that, and below are what the guests that immediately preceeded you said "The house is more light and spacious than the pictures show. 3 decent bed rooms. Bath rooms and kitchen; everything works. Well equiped. Wifi very fast and good smart TV. Privacy of the house is good. 100% recommended" "Very nice place with stunning views and a really lovely host who went above and beyond to try to help us"

Unbelievable Experience!

We absolutely loved staying here for 2 weeks, it was hard to leave at the end of our holiday. Gwyn, our host took great care of us and made sure that we were comfortable during our stay. We really enjoyed finding out about the history of the property and felt privileged to stay somewhere with the most incredible views over the bay. The apartment was large and gave us plenty of space for 4 adults and 1 child. The garden space was also great and we enjoyed sitting out while our son had a run around. Parking was also really handy and easily accommodated our campervan and a car with plenty of room to spare. The location is great for walking into Borth y Gest and Porthmadog. Our son loved crabbing off the harbour wall in Porthmadog which was only a 5 minute walk away. A short drive took us to Black Rock Sands which is one of our favourite beaches. We really hope to stay again next year and would recommend it to anyone looking to escape it all and enjoy what North Wales has to offer. Thank you so much Gwyn!

Short break

Good communication with property manager. Outstanding views from property as per the photos. Some issues re cleanliness. Manager said he would chase up. Quiet location. Would have been lovely property in its time. Still needs ongoing TLC.

Thank you Ruth. You mentioned one small issue as you were leaving and we dealt with it immediately. We welcome feedback from our guests and always respond as soon as we are told. The house is a manor house and will always need TLC which we are glad to give it. Thank you for staying with us.

Amazing Scenery at SandBanks

Our stay was for a week. It was so hard to draw your eyes from the beautiful sea view immediately from our apartment. The surrounding countryside was also stunning with many beautiful walks. Gwynne was a great host and was always pleased to help. Couldn't fault anything. Outstanding in all regards. Planning to come again. Kind Regards, Andy and Angela Williams
