  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.

  Off street parking was a real boon.

  Very spacious accommodation with a great garden. Had a plumbing issue, due to previous, inconsiderate guests washing beach sand down the bath plughole and causing a blockage. Sorted very quickly by the owners and a plumber, although we wasted a morning waiting in for him to clear the problem. Wherever you're staying, please don't swill sand down a plughole...it doesn't go anywhere and creates problems. All furnishings very comfortable, although the double bed felt slightly narrower than a normal double - it may also be that I'm accustomed to a king-sized bed, so I might be wide of the mark.. One minute walk to Harlech High St, less than five minutes walk to Harlech Castle. The time we spent there was mostly in the enormous kitchen/conservatory, which has more furniture than the average house, along with Velux windows in the roof (electrically operated) and a view over the rooftops of Harlech to the Llyn Peninsula. The kitchen is also very well-equipped, including a dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer, although you'll need to take your own detergents, etcetera...a great trade-off when you can go home with barely any dirty laundry. Probably the best TV in any holiday let we've been in. Large and with a live Netflix account, so plenty of viewing choice for those days when you don't fancy braving the Welsh rain. Recommended.

  Communication with Celia was great before and during our stay.

  As there was no one in before our arrival she allowed us to enter the bungalow early which was a bonus. On arrival we were greeted with a clean house and a lovely welcome package including Bara Brith and milk for a cuppa after a long journey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clyd Fan in May 2021. It is well appointed with everything you need for a lovely break and has that home from home feel. The conservatory is great to rest and unwind in as is the garden. There is the relaxing sound of bird song and although you are close to the centre of Harlech you feel as though you are remote. The property has a great sized lounge with Netflix and a new king size bed which was very comfortable It’s location is great, close to a fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway, a minutes walk for a great view of the stunning castle and coastline. The property is literally a couple of minutes walk to the castle and a 15 minute stroll to the coast, maybe quicker if you walk down the world's steepest street. The property is in a great location to explore Snowdonia and all it has to offer. We would definitely stay at Clyd Fan if we were to return to Harlech.

  Saw it had a welsh name, Bwthin y mor, disappointed it had been changed to an English name, why!

  . It was decorated according to the welsh name. Tv wouldnt work so had to call ownwer who came immediately to show us how it worked. From him, we discovered that there was no BBC channels, and that there was a firestick so there were lots of other things. We had no idea about a firestick, everything we tried to watch seemed to need a sky card or a prime account so we were stuck with the freesat minus BBC programmes. In the summer this would not be a problem, in the winter it was. There should be info on how to use these things as well. We didn't know how to use the microwave/oven and avoided using it, again no instructions. Seating was uncomfortable, small and slouchy whereas I need something that would support my back. (bed was also uncomfortable but this is a personal preference). No instructions on recycling so we guessed at what went where. No bin in the kitchen. Shower has mould growing and is very poor. Took ages to get soap from my hair as the shower wasnt powerful enough. Bathroom generally needs some modernisation

  Really enjoyed our break at Stoneycroft .

  The house is tastefully finished inside & to a high standard, very much home from home . Access is good from where the car is parked making it easy to carry cases in to the property.The kitchen is well equipped ( Loved the coffee machine) & the welcome pack was very welcome :) As there was only 2 of us we obviously only used the one bedroom which had a really comfortable bed ( slept well). The one bedside lamp didn't work properly but didn't cause a problem . The only other thing was the blind in the picture window in the dining area was brokren . Again this wasn't a problem as your'e not overlooked . The views from the house & garden are brilliant . If there is a problem , its got nothing to do with the house but where it is , halfway up a very steep lane, which is a real lung buster when you walk up into the town , which would present a real problem if you had any disability. Other than that thoroughly recommended.
