What our customers say about their holidays

  Where do I start, I have been to this property about 4 times, I like where its situated, I like its a bungalow ( i live in a bungalow, i have disabilities), and has a garden for my dogs.

  We had a pretty rough journey down, snow & hail etc.... my dogs were desperate to go out, no matter what I did, I couldn't open the back door, it was stuck fast, even the person with me couldn't open it... but what hit us first was, the smell of smoke, someone had been smoking in the kitchen & the conservatory. The door that was between the conservatory & the kitchen, was propped up off its fixings with a note saying do not touch, attached to it. The whole building was freezing too, because of it. When we eventually got the back door open, the dogs ran out to relieve themselves and my youngest found a piece of chocolate cake on the patio chair & ate it! She had a funny tummy for the rest of the holiday, as you may be aware, chocolate is toxic to dogs. Later on my eldest dog found chicken bones, when we looked, the bins were overflowing and full of fat, a computer monitor and a spare tyre! There was a broken mirror in the wardrobe, a big blue stain on the carpet & when I started using the pots, they were all dirty... I left the ones I wasn't going to use, I'm not washing other peoples dirty pots! The whole place had its of dirty marks on walls & doors & just seemed really unloved. The garden did get a trim & looked better than previous times we've been. It'd sad really, as I said I've been lots of times before, but this time it looked really sad. Someone did come & empty the bin, but.it was still full of fat. I enjoyed my holiday because I love Nevyn. But the house is very rundown now. I'm booked in later in the year, unless things change, I'm not going to stay in the property. The sofa's are not comfy at all. The shower head is full of black & needs a good sterilisation. The whole 0lace needs a good clean up & maintenance plan. The beds are comfy, bedding & towels clean. The dishwasher had a note on saying it was leaking so to put a towel on the floor when.its used to catch.the water! I didn't use it. The heating was.on most.of the time we where there but it was really cold all the time in lounge & kitchen because the conservatory door couldn't be closed as it was off its runners. Shame really. But Nevyn is lovely and my favourite place.

  The cottage is comfortable, spacious and in a good position close to the beach and coastal walks.

  However, there were a number of weaknesses: (1) Cleanliness. Your documentation stated that the time between 10 and 5 on changeover day is needed for "deep cleaning" in present circumstances. However, previous tenants had evidently brought a dog and not cleaned up after it. We needed to give the utility room floor a thorough wash with a mop bucket and this demonstrated how dirty it was. (2) The information folder states that TV reception is poor and can only be accessed (with difficulty) through I-Player. Many people would not be familiar with this and it restricts the number of channels available. In the circumstances it would be good practice to provide a DVD player and a selection of DVDs for clients to watch. (3) Similarly the heating system, operated through an App and device, is not straightforward. All rooms have to set individually and we found that, once turned on, the heating turns itself off after about 2 hours. Setting the timer was beyond the technical capability of 2 of us. (4) There is a serious shortage of storage space for food - ie no pantry. Clients booking self-catering in a remote location will expect to bring most of the food required with them. It was fortunate that there is a spare room where we stored food in boxes, and we also used the shelves on dressers among the crockery.

  The location was amazing being a few minutes walk from the coast path.

  The house is completely detached and plenty of private parking. Very comfortable sofas and beds, especially after a long day of walking and exploring thus fabulous area. The upstairs room and balcony is a real bonus, we enjoyed sitting out and having a cuppa while overlooking the huge garden and towards the sea view. There is a very handy utility room at the entrance into the house especially if have wet, muddy dogs! The electric heating was very efficient as the evenings were quite chilly. We agreed with other comments regarding needing some updating to the kitchen and bathroom. There was a few issues with cleanliness that needs addressing. The shower room is very modern yet has black mould both inside and outside the frame of the shower unit. The kitchen utensils and holders were very greasy, we gave everything a good wash in hot soapy water. The kitchen and bathrooms really could do with a deep lean. Having said that our week's holiday was the 28th September so getting towards the end of the season. A couple of things missing from the property is a mop and bucket also a clothes airer for those wet clothes when caught in rain. With a few improvements this place would be 5 stars all the way.

  This is our second stay in Eryl.

  We absolutely love the three double bed rooms which are ideal for mother and two daughter share. The garden was totally dog proof for our two small dogs but access through the back door is not ideal and challenging for a 91 year old to open and close securely. We had fairly inclement weather (but we do generally visit the Llyn out of season!) but the option of continuous heating and hot water is a real bonus. The location is quiet with excellent parking and is good for walking to Nefyn beach and the coast path to Morfa Nefyn. The kitchen is well equipped apart, from a lack of kitchen scissors, and we were surprised by the fridge capacity which is excellent. Unfortunately the sliding door between the kitchen and conservatory was missing which made the room quite a bit cooler and draughty at times. The seating in the living room is adequate but could be more comfortable for three adults sharing. The general cleanliness is also adequate but could be improved by more attention to detail - it didn’t ‘sparkle’. Half of the toilet flush button is missing. The linen and towel provision is very good! Providing Eryl is still available next year we will be back!

  Ty Bryn is a lovely house and in a great setting, with green space & gardens around it.

  We much enjoyed our stay and the location, near to the coastal path and to The Cliffs.. and nearby Nefyn. Some details of the accomodation slightly let it down, being truthfully honest. When you're going on holiday you want things to be pleasant. Various small details.. mugs all bit random, either chunky large, or small / mismatched. same with the cutlery. Upgrading details like this would not be difficult! Similarly, the fridge seems a tad elderly (afew rust spots etc.) however this didn't spoil our overall enjoyment. The heating tablet/app unfortunately seemed to have a mind of it's own. We easily mastered the basic controls - for either individual rooms, or multiple room controls. We also did not attempt to alter any other settings. But one or 2 rads would come on of their own volition, particularly in the yellow bedroom. It was the only one on when we arrived at the cottage and seemed to turn itself on at night, making the room v stuffy. (Our thanks to the original family that own the house by the way, lovely stylings and great upstairs room)
