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!

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!

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.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Gwyn Jones
I was brought up in Snowdonia and came to love the outdoor life. I’ve lived in many other places since then, but came home when I bought Garth Hall. I loved the Hall’s history and its spectacular views.
I’ve travelled a great deal and have been looked after by so many good hosts, and now I relish looking after our guests. Should you need anything before, or during, your stay then I’m here to help. I know the area very well and would be happy to share this knowledge with you. But I also recognise that some guests value independence and privacy and I always respect that. I’m here if you need me and am invisible if you don’t.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
The property is on the coast immediately above the bay. The beaches are within walking distance and the mountains are a short drive away. Portmeirion is directly across the bay as is Harlech castle. There are lots of sporting opportunities - golf, mountain biking, gym, tennis, zip wires, boats etc etc.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The amazing views, the privacy, the location, its history.....and some of the people who lived here before me.
The property is spacious, well located, tranquil and has stunning sea views which you can enjoy from all the windows or from your private garden.
The Hall has been the home of Spooner the engineering architect of the Ffestiniog Railway (nearby). Later it was the home of the renowned Shakespearian actress Dame Sybil Thorndike and leading actors of the day stayed here.
Lloyd George was a regular visitor during his pupilage under a previous owner Randall Casson.
