  The views over Harlech castle towards the sea are incredible.

  The property is in a great location. It has a good amount of parking. The living space down stairs is a good size. The two larger bedrooms and the lounge have fantastic views. The garden is lovely. However: - the property was quite dirty on arrival. We filled the vacuum cylinder from the lounge rug alone when we had to vacuum on arrival! Some of the kitchen items needed washing before use. - Parts of the finishing are tired. For instance the second bedroom carpet is threadbare with no underlay. Lots of the floorboards creak. There is only one front door key provided. All of the kitchen knives are blunt. There isnt a complete set of matching crockery. The indicator lights on the cooker dont work. There is no booklet provided with info such as what to do with rubbish. - The property is not suitable for young children: A stairgate can't be fitted to the bottom of the stairs and the stairs are open so a child can fall over the side. This is not shown in the property photos The stair gate provided for the top had rusted through the metal joints. The owner did quickly provide a replacement when we told them but the stair opening is narrower than a standard door so a standard stairgate does not fit. This left the staircase very dangerous for our infant. The high chair is very old and dirty. Parts of it are broken (for instance the securing pins for the legs to attach to the chair, and the restraining strap is incomplete). There are several dangerous flooring areas for young children (for instance broken sharp tile edges in the bathroom, sharp unfinished edges of tiles, broken parts of the laminate flooring) The bedroom wardrobes are in two loose separate (top and bottom) parts so a child could pull the top half over. They are also not secured to the wall. The bathrooms are so small that its very difficult to fit an adult and a child in at the same time. Unfortunately the issues above mostly affecting children limited our enjoyment of what could easily be an outstanding property.

  We loved everything about the house: lots of space, cleaned to a very high standard, a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room and bedrooms, close to Spar supermarket which stocked everything we needed. Our girls loved the garden and really appreciated the piano. The Beach Hut was a real bonus and enabled us to make full use of Nefyn beach in spite of mixed weather. Lots of walks on the coastal path and also at Mynnd Mawr near Aberdaron . Had Sunday lunch at the Nanhoran Arms 220 yards from the house. We visited Morfa Nefyn beach and played Golf on the stunning cliff top course there. Had a lovely family meal at the Cliffs Inn.-Staff very welcoming to children. Less than half an hour away is the Plas Glyn Weddw Art Gallery in Llanbedrog - not only a fantastic Art Exhibition but equally fantastic cakes in the Cafe! As Usual when visiting the Lleyn Peninsula we ran out of time-we will definitely be back. Many Thanks

  Feedback Great accommodation.

  .....everything we could possibly need was available. The rooms were all bigger than they appeared on the photos, furnished with lovely chunky rustic wooden furniture, including the comfy beds. Wonderful views of the sea and castle from the lounge and two biggest bedrooms. Great dog safe fenced patio area accessed from the back door......the garden would have been safe too if our dogs were bigger. Note for the owners I appreciate our holiday was at the end of the season and it was a big house to 'turn around' between bookings, but the cleanliness is our only negative comment. Looking at the en-suite we joked that the cleaner must be about 4ft 11inches tall because you could actually see how high up the cleaning had been done! This is meant as constructive criticism as cleaners must be being paid and I feel they could be doing a better job for you.

  This is a fantastic property for large groups with a variety of comfortable rooms and many ensuite rooms.

  Perfect for families as well as corporate functions. Its located in the heart of a beautiful village, close to Barmouth beach, some local amenities and takeaways and cafes, but not close to any large supermarkets, however you can order food shopping. Parking is located just a few minutes walk away with a few spaces outside to unload. The property was clean and the photos do not do it justice. Kitchen is extremely well equipped, there is a drinks chiller in the sitting room as well as a poker table, football table, pool table and shuffleboard. The dining room comfortably seats all guests and there were highchairs and cots available. Bed Linen and hand, bath and teatowels are provided. Fantastic property, easy to contact the owner and the housekeeper who is available and local if you need them. I would definitely recommend.

  Lovely property and lots of beds (mostly comfortable) for the children in the party.

  Nicely decorated and cupboards and drawers well stocked with crockery and cooking pots and pans. Lots of room inside the house for card and board games on rainy days and a short walk to the beach on sunny days. The only minor problem we had was that the helpline we phoned was unable to help us with our bin request- we weren't able to find the bin details (or the kitchen noticeboard where we could find these details) as mentioned in the guest book to confirm which bins we should use and were unable to open the back gate to retrieve the bins belonging to the house. When the helpline was unable to help us, we were able to walk round the front to the next road to use the general waste bins but not able to take out the recycling trolley. This didn't spoil our stay, which was lovely in every way.
