  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  Just finished our 3 nights at Trewen.

  Absolutely fantastic property. 3 families, 6 adults and 6 kids and we all had an absolutely fantastic time. The house us huge with loads of space for everyone and finished to such a good standard as it just been completed. The property is kitted out in every room with towels and comfy beds/pillows, all with en suites which are all excellent. The family room has a bath. It was spotless when we arrived and all decorated for Christmas with mince pie, sweets and treats left for us. Unfortunately it was raining the entire time were there and we couldn't enjoy the huge outdoor space available. The drive is so big you could fit plenty of cars on it. I can't praise this property enough. More plus points: Heated bathroom floors, heated throughout (it is so warm we had to turn the heating off most of the time), you can't hear people down stairs when you are upstairs, the kitchen is amazing with two fridges and freezers, induction hob, huge oven and combi, loads of plates, cutlery etc, so much space for everyone to do their own thing and didn't hear a thing from the farm which is right outside. We didn't get to meet the owner but we all wish we had to say thank you! We will be going back! Tip: The directions to the property were spot on, however the postcode isn't quite straight to the house, so for anyone tech savvy, the what3words for the house entrance are websites.inflation.skirt! Enjoy!

  Absolutely amazing property that was well maintained and very clean.

  Beds were super comfortable. This was a 'last minute' booking as the property we were supposed to stay in was withdrawn by the owner so wasn't as much choice for our budget at the time. Property was a lot bigger and more spacious than the pictures show so that was a nice suprise as was the fact the garden was secure as in the pictures I got the impression it was an open or communal garden! Was a joy to cook Xmas dinner in the huge kitchen! The only thing I missed was a slow cooker and serving tongs, we had planned on bringing our own as we usually do but didn't have any space in the car! The property is in a lovely location 'out in the sticks' with fantastic sea views and is lovely and peaceful yet only a 5 min drive to Nefyn town which has a wonderful well stocked spar shop. Nearest bigger town with an Asda is only a 15 min drive and Caernarfon is only a 30 mins drive. Snowdonia is also a 30 - 45 min drive and there are also so many beaches within a half hour! We loved walking around Abersoch and we visited different beaches each day! The only negative would have been the shower as we struggled to get it hot and when we did get some hot water it only lasted 5 mins which was difficult for 5 of us but we managed. Thank you once again for letting us stay and we hope we left the property clean enough.

  Unfortunately we had to leave the property two days early as we were unable to get a good night's sleep in the bed on the first floor.

  We had 5 nights of bad sleep and could take no more. This bed is only 4’ wide which is known as a queen size bed, therefore it is totally unacceptable for a couple to sleep in, a standard double bed is 4’6”. My husband and I were unable to turn over so had to sleep on our back the entire time. This room should be advertised as a single as there is no way it can be categorised as a double room. My wife called your office on Monday, i believe she spoke with Dawn to ask if there was an alternative property for us to move to but sadly everything was fully booked within a 50 mile radius. I have photographs of the 4’ bed to prove the exact size Our holiday was ruined, therefore we would like some form of compensation. Sleepless nights were not in our plan when we booked this holiday. Luckily the location was superb so we were able to enjoy our day trips. On another note, the house was grubby in places, I appreciate that this wasn't a luxury cottage but it would have been good to have been clean, dust and cobweb free. There is nowhere to store food, all cupboards are full therefore we had to keep the food we had brought with us in carrier bags on the floor. I look forward to hearing from you.

  This holiday rental was a 50/50 there was some good aspects as well as bad.

  On entering the property we where immediately disappointed, dark room covered in dust, as we made or way to the back things perked up the kitchen come sitting area was lovely very well equipped and with doors out to a lovely decking area although getting out the back door was a bit of a challenge opening and closing the door was a nightmare. The bin in the garden was full with bin bags all around (it was mentioned in the welcome pack about taking rubbish to the local recycling plant, which we did but I wondered why the owners couldn’t have done this before our arrival with the piles of rubbish that had been left?) the bedroom on the second floor is definitely not a double, it was was very small, and the third floor had adequate sleeping facilities but I would advise anybody with young children to give this property a wide berth the stairs leading up are very steep with no backs to the stairs like a ladder but with huge gaps, there is also no door to the room and banisters with very wide gaps. Having said all this the bed linen towels etc where good quality and location was good too. Would I come back...... if they addressed the issues I have raised then I definitely would.
