  The Stables was well set up for our weeks stay with 3 adults and our medium sized dog. The garden is well secured to ensure our furry friend was able to roam with no chance of escape, and had loads of space to wander, sniff and get to know the sheep, lambs and friendly donkeys. The outdoor decking area with comfy seats was an excellent place to relax after a long day exploring, before we made use of the hot tub just as the sun was setting. There is a sea view from there if the weather is kind. For star gazers, the garden is a brilliant spot to see a full dark sky experience with the naked eye, just a shame we missed the Aurora which was visible across the UK on the night we had departed. The rooms were a good size, and had very comfy beds. The bathroom with separate shower or bath options was also a decent size. The only thing to be aware of is the stairs down between the various levels, as the property has been adapted brilliantly from what were previously disconnected stables and animal shelters. This was an excellent base for us to explore the coasts of North Wales and Anglesey, as well as allowing easy access into the heart of Snowdonia. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave us all a very warm welcome. The tip to visit Nant Gwrtheyrn (The Lost Village) near Nefyn was one we would never have thought of and well worth the trip down the very steep road. There is a car park with café right in the village so no need to park at the top, but take care in wet and winter, as getting back out the 25% gradient would be difficult. Nefyn beach is also well worth a visit at the right tide times. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in Pwllheli as well as a good sized beach for the dog if needed. We would highly recommend this property which is suitable for 4 adults and a pet, and is at the standard to be expected for this price range. Thanks for allowing us to make use of your wonderful holiday home for the week, and we can’t wait to return.

  Another lovely stay here.

  Location is stunning and the house is cosy. Furniture comfortable, especially the very comfortable bed. Unfortunately, there is definitely an air of neglect both inside the property and outside in the garden compared to our first few visits. A leaking window caused by lack of general maintenance was the biggest issue. The cleaning company lack attention to detail and, in my opinion, do the bare minimum, if that. The post pandemic earlier check out and later check in times seem unfair and unnecessary when the property isn't being cleaned properly anyway. As with all holiday accommodation the requirement (and my aim) is to leave a property clean at the end of a stay. Unfortunately, this is difficult with the very substandard equipment provided. None of these niggles affected our stay and we would happily book again as we love the area and the property is perfect for lovely walks from the house and just enjoying the view.

  We arrived late on a Friday afternoon, we had a look around the cottage and was disappointed with our first impressions.

  The first thing noted was the condition of the cooker top was dirty looking. We set about cleaning the c00ker top as best we were able. We then decided to inspect the bedroom and was really upset, the bed appeared to look clean but when we pulled the throw back there was several woodlice in between the sheets! we removed the bed sheets and noted a stain on the sheets and pillow. The issues with the woodlice did not improved. There were other items noted, one of the chairs was broken, the toilet seat was not secure, to try and resolve the woodlice issue we moved the bed and noted that the floor area below the bed was disgusting. There was a travel trunk in the living room which we moved to retrieve a pack of playing cards and it was also noted that the area had not been need cleaned. WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPERTUNITY TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES WITH THE OWNERS PRIOR TO DECIDING TO PUBLISH OR NOT PUBLISH OUR REVIEW.

  The Stables has been adapted to a wonderful standard, it sits within a lovely position with wonderful views. The donkeys are also a highlight and we're lovely to feed and pet. Kate was our favourite and liked to boop noses with our Bella through the fence. The hot tub is wonderfully positioned to enjoy the view and the addition of the enclosure makes the space usable for all weather. The location makes for a great base to explore so many wonderful beaches and other such walks. Everything we needed was catered for and the welcome goodies were greatly recieved. John and Dawn were wonderful hosts very friendly and welcoming. It truly felt like home from home. We will be sure to return and wish them every success for their own home renovations, which if are anything like the stable renovation with be wonderful! Thanks to you both for a relaxing and superb stay! :)

  Wonderful cottage in a quiet rural location.

  Good off road parking, with easy access to all of North and Mid Wales. The cottage itself is warm, cosy and clean with a very comfortable bed and bath. The kitchen although small has everything you need for your holiday except a washing machine which was not a problem for us. We slept like logs all week with the windows open to take advantage of the peace and fresh night air. Amazing to hear the owl hooting in the night and we got a dawn chorus of birds outside the window. The owners and caretakers are very approachable and friendly who will sort any problems or queries really quickly but leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace. Even though it was a cottage which took dogs we did not find any evidence that a dog had previously been there. Can't wait to book again for next year.
