Great stay, beautiful woodland and beach walks on the doorstep. Lovely house and views and two cafes within walking distance. Not suitable for people who find steps difficult as access is up steps.

Outstanding property in an outstanding location!

The property was immaculate, a real home from home. The kitchen was well appointed and there was loads of space. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids and had a great time. We arrived at night so did not appreciate the location, or view from the property until the morning but it was outstanding! Great base for exploring Snowdon. Wish we could have stayed for longer, but would definitely return!

Well equipped

Had a good stay while visiting nearby family. This is a professional level managed property, comfortable and well equipped for a big group. Some in the party felt the bed comfort could be upgraded and considering you're paying a fairly high price for the rental.

A birthday mini break

Lovely short mini break, for husband’s birthday. We were so impressed with the accommodation, warm, clean with all you needed to have a great time. Milk, tea and coffee and a welcome basket. The beds were super comfortable, facilities took into account the British weather with dvds, toys, a wii, great internet. We were lucky with the west however and were able to explore the area. The views from the house were to die for, with a deck outside seating, veranda and balcony. the sea front was literally down the path.

Fantastic views

What a fantastic place to stay, the view was amazing. It’s was peace full, what we like. The house was amazing. Plenty of room and the beds were real comfy. It’s a short up hill climb to the house, but worth the views. We took our 85 year old mother up to the house, but other people might find it a bit of a climb. It all depends on your fitness levels. If you can get around Portmeirion you can stay here with ease. Our 85 year old mother who is a slow mover on her feet did both. Parking was ok on the road. Lovely walks and Porthmadog a 20 minute walk away and 4 minutes by car. What a beautiful place to stay.

Lovely short break

House was clean and well furnished with all the basics. One thing to note is that check in is not til 6pm. Check out at 9.30. This is contrary to info on the website which says 4pm/10am. The steps up are slope, steps, steep slope, steps steps. Some very steep. The drive up to drop off is to the bottom of the first of those steps. This means unloading takes quite some time esp. with heavy items. The hedge is a high so you cant see the sea from the garden unless you are on tip toes. Great views from the house though as thats a few steps up. Def not for the unfit or infirm but we had a good time. The carry in/out and the check in/out times makes the faff better for a longer stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Jul, 2021
Many thanks for your review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and found the house to be clean and well furnished. The check out time remains as 10am. Unfortunately the check in time has been changed to 6pm to enable same day changeovers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The advert was updated to reflect this change. The house now requires an enhanced clean to ensure a safe environment for our guests to enter and unfortunately this takes additional time. We follow government guidance and as soon as it is safe to do so, the check in time will be reverted to 4pm. As per our advert access statement, the house is not suitable for the guests with limited mobility as there are about 20 steps to ascend to the front door – the view is more than worth the short climb. Thank you for your feedback with regards to the hedge. We have a regular gardener who normally stays on top of the vegetation to ensure that the fantastic views are clearly visible from the garden and house. I will contact him immediately to ensure that the view is visible for all future guests. Many thanks for your review and we would love to welcome your group again.

Incredible house

This house is amazing. The owner and housekeeper strive to make sure everything is off the best possible quality and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is a chef's dream and so well-equipped. The open plan to the dining area works very well and the dining table is close to the picture window with views over Borth y Gest bay. There are 2 wonderfully inviting and comfortable living rooms. We chose to sit in the front one with the sea view. The beds were conducive to a great night's sleep and each bedroom had plenty of storage space. There were 2 at the front that had sea views. Stunning. We are keen cyclists, swimmers and walkers so it was great to find a washing line at the back of the property where we could dry our stuff and also a hose, perfect for hosing off muddy bikes and salty wetsuits. The owner and housekeeper have really anticipated any need you might have and added lovely little personal touches such as leaving a chocolate cake and some milk in the fridge for our arrival. The owner was great at keeping in touch and very helpful. There is one small "however" - the steps up to the house are steep and it's hard to get heavy sports stuff and luggage up there from where you can park the car. That said, you'd be mad to miss out on any opportunity to stay here. We will, most definitely, be back

Exactly as it was in the photo’s beautiful house with a stunning view you will not be dissapointed

Had a wonderful long weekend with the family, perfect spot to either watch sun rise over a cuppa, watch sunset over a glass of wine or explore the lovely beaches on foot along the coast. And what a lovely house, perfect for the whole family. Jane was set to contact & we enjoyed it so much we have booked to come back . Thank you Jane
