  Lovely apartment, clean, comfortable and good location.

  I would have given it 5 stars but the situation re parking needs urgent addressing so I'm onky giving 3 in the hope it will help get that sorted. When we booked the adjacent pay and display car park (owned by the Harbour Authority, who also own this apartment and the others in the complex) was advertised as costing around £5 or £6 for 24 hours. We have previously used the car park when visiting Caernarvon and budgeted accordingly. However on arrival we found the car park now costs more than triple that expected cost - almost 4 times that actually. Anyone booking until this issue is sorted should bear in mind that to park in the car park daily could add almost £150 to the price of the weeks rental. There are other parking options a reasonably short walk away but we found that quite inconvenient. Really there needs to be a parking permit included in the rental cost - owners should either up the price of rental and include a parking permit or declare this hidden cost. Overall the apartment is lovely but it is very overpriced when you factor in the extortionate parking costs. The Restaurant in the complex, La Marina was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed eating there and definitely recommend. It was very quiet most nights, probably the car park pricing is having an effect there too. The caretaker at the complex was very helpful. Told us all we needed to know, a very nice man. As other reviews have stated there is no information about how to use the appliances in the apartment. We worked it out OK, buy clearly previous residents hadn't as the dishwasher was clogged up having had the detergent tablet forced into the rinse aid compartment so maybe placing some information about how to operate things will help them last longer! Would we return? Yes - if parking issue is addressed, otherwise there are better options that are more luxurious and cost less.

  We were very happy with the accommodation and felt that everything we could possibly need had been provided, far more than anything place we've ever stayed before, which was really nice.

  The accommodation was reasonably priced. The surrounding areas were really beautiful and the people really nice and friendly. I would give the home and the experience we had a 10/10 despite the few bits that weren't 100% to our satisfaction, only because it's impossible to keep everyone happy 100% of the time and because it's clear that a great deal of thought has gone into making this home as comfortable as possible for every guest who chooses to stay there and because I'd be happy to stay there again and to recommend this place to friends and family. The only recommendations I would make is to replace the kettle, as it takes a long time to fully boil the water and to ensure that things like the microwave and the furniture beneath the cushions, etc. are cleaned more thoroughly for the next guest(s) stay ♡ Other than that, everything was honestly perfect! Thank you so much!

  I loved staying two years ago, and that has only grown.

  Particular with the proximity of Caernarfon Castle, and the Menai Straits. What adds to this beautiful scenic stay was the mountains and Snowdonia as a backdrop to this restful stay. The small town square, and it’s church. And of course it’s friendly and lovely villagers. In addition, the flat that I stayed in Moel Tryfan overlooked craft shops, of course I visited the craft shops. Beth’s gallery has been an absolute inspiration. As my visit was a little longer I visited Mostyn and Abakhans. And also got some time in Llanddwyn island! I’m currently learning Northern Welsh language, and will be back to visit other parts of this breath taking, and certainly underrated part of Wales. A huge thanks to Colin the caretaker, who always ensures that I have a safe stay, and in a respectful way.

  A beautifully situated cottage, fabulous views, walks, a shop and pubs nearby.

  Lovely comfortable beds, but cottage could do with a little TLC. All the white goods you could need but no sharp kitchen prep knives and a few other basics, not enough crocks to run a dishwasher. Need a better cleaner, butter on chopping board, tea stains running down washing machine, crocks left in dishwasher. Old used toiletries and old soap(with hairs) left in bathroom/shower room, used washing up sponge/cloth and dried out air fresheners ! The neighbours were all lovely and showed us their rear patios, beautiful, this one is unusable, rusty and overgrown, beware large brambles if you venture out of back door !! No info booklet about how to use equipment, where to put rubbish/ recycling, heating controls, fuse boxes, emergecy doctors/hospitals/vets etc etc

  Website pictures were matched by reality - a good-looking and convenient place to stay.

  However, living there proved something else: no instructions on how to operate any facilities, couldn't get some to operate; those that didn't work were not fixed in spite of our raising the issues on our second day after having found them out; other things were plain irritating. In short, the various things that didn't work/couldn't see how to work spoiled the whole show - and non-one helped, at all. Very annoying and frustrating. We were told that many of the things we raised had been raised by others, so why were they not fixed then? Shame, as most could be fixed at little or no cost. So, if you fancy a good-looking and convenient place to stay, go ahead but do not expect to like it that much on closer acquaintance. You have been well warned.
