  Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

  It is really quirky and full of character. The location is amazing as its so central in the town. The bathrooms were lovely and clean and there was always plenty of hot water. The bathroom on the top floor is stunning. We slept well as the beds were comfortable and enjoyed relaxing in the TV lounge. However, there were a few small niggles during our stay. On arrival it would have been useful to have a welcome sheet or pack of some sort with key information, including about where to put rubbish- we had to keep taking it out in small bags and disposing of it in the street bins. A larger brush for sweeping the floor would have been handy, we had 2 small children with us who inevitably dropped food on the kitchen floor and cleaning the tiles wasn't easy with the small dustpan and brush. On our first day I had to wash a lot of the kitchen utensils, crockery and pans before we could use them as there was food or grease left on them, I understand that this is down to previous guests but feel that this should be checked before arrival as it was very obvious. There were a lot of cobwebs, I know its an old building but they were in the corners of every room with quite a lot of spiders. There is also a strong musty smell on the bottom floor so we only stayed down there when necessary for cooking and eating. Overall it was a good stay despite those few niggles and we would return as the location was fantastic.

  The cottage itself met my expectations.

  It was clean and all the rooms were well prepared and welcoming. The views from all windows were wonderful and the owners thought of everything that may be needed for adults and children during their stay in the cottage for sunny and rainy days.The only draw back were the steps leading from the Main Street to the cottage. The way the cottage was marketed did not give in my view very accurate description of the distance between cottage and the Main Street, the proximity between temporary parking on the street and the cottage itself and the angle of the steps leading from the street to the cottage. From the description it looked simple and not at all problematic. In reality, unfortunately, it was problematic when unloading and loading the cars at the start and at the end of our stay. The number of trips needed to do these necessary tasks left us all out of breath and very tired. For the oldest member of our party, person 80+ the steps were unsafe to use without an escort , especially when they were wet, which was most days.

  The house was everything we hoped for and so well equipped we wanted for nothing.

  The board games and cards meant we managed to leave the TV switched off and with the fire lit it made for entertaining evenings in. The position of the home with the sound of the sea and its views across the bay from every room were amazing. A short walk down to the town or beach made it ideal for the older kids in our group to venture out on their own whilst some slightly more strenuous walks up gave you some fabulous views across to snowdonia and up and down the welsh coast. We found plenty of things to do in and around Barmouth - along with swimming in the sea and lazing on the beach we visited the fun fair, did a little shopping, went pony trekking and played pitch and putt (fairbourne) and ate a lot of ice cream - all in all we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend a vist to the fabulous home in an idyllic setting in a beautiful part wales

  A lovely quirky cottage in the heart of Barmouth.

  The stairs in the property are very steep. Other than a manual for the cooker there were no other instructions for the property. The central heating is controlled by hive. The controller is on the wall next to the TV. The TV uses a firestick for its channels, this is fine if you are familiar with this but no instructions if you aren't. The bi's are a complete mystery as there appears to be no recycling facilities for the cottage. The neighbours are very protective of there own facilities. Eventually found green bin marked Ian which we were told was for cottage. Although we had no problem parking to unload in high season this would definitely be more difficult but there are plenty of car parks nearby. The PCSO's on the town enforce the restrictions fairly vigorously.Overall we had a nice stay thank you

  Lovely house,warm ,cozy and comfortable.

  TV remotes were difficult to fathom though.we were hoping to host a dinner party for our group on the31st unfortunately the catering company let us down because of covid. I think the chef would have struggled with a 4 course dinner for 7..... not quite enough equipment or crockery available which wasn’t in keeping with the high standard of Goronwy Cottage. Large pasta bowls and a large salad bowl would have aided our stay too.also a larger fridge would have helped, the one available wouldn’t accommodate 9 people. Thankyou for the offer of extending our stay due to our late arrival. It wasn’t needed but still, a very kind offer.we will certainly be coming back and couldn’t recommend goronwy cottage highly enough. Thankyou for a lovely stay.
