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.
