What our customers say about their holidays

  On arriving one of the main rooms which we required was locked.

  After calling the owner he explained they only arranged the amount of beds we booked for. I explained although certain beds were booked some families preferred to stay in separate rooms. He agreed on opening the room but did not supply any bedding. I explained we are happy to have put the bedding on ourselves but he said it was too ‘costly’. I thought this was ludicrous considering we paid almost £6000 for a holiday- it was not made clear on booking that only the amount of rooms used would be unlocked/bed sheets provided. In large groups sometimes more people decide to come and some drop out. The second issue was that there limited supplies of toilet roll and it was very much a nuisance having to remove our own bedding, emptying bins and cleaning the whole place prior to leaving to the standard in which it was prior to us attending. Most of our trip we were concerned about having our deposit taken and therefore it sucked the fun out of our trip. Especially being the organizer it was extremely stressful. The BBQ was very old and the wood was kept outside in the rain so making a fire or BBQ - we had to get most of our supplies. We have attended many other places in large groups but never had to clean as much as we did. On a positive note, the place itself is very large and the games room was lovely, the kitchen had everything needed plus more. The owner did allow us to attend earlier and leave slightly late.

  Our 3rd holiday to Wales this year and we were looking forward to staying in the barn.

  A lovely quiet location, stunning views over the beautiful countryside and room sizes are generous. However, we felt a little disappointed with the barn and overall felt it was tired and needed some attention and this holiday had cost significantly higher than the previous ones. The rusty old bbq looks so sad and neglected. The sofas had stains on them. Lots of cobwebs on the beams in the lounge/kitchen and bedrooms and by the doors. Not had a full dusting in a while. Place mats had seen better days. A toilet roll provided in each bathroom, thereafter buy your own. Mattresses were soft and you could feel the springs in your back. An issue with the upstairs towel rail which only had two bars working, the owner attended, then none came on and we requested further attention which did not materialise. The point of a towel rail is to dry towels, but they became damp and musty. Before leaving guest are to put the bins out, strip beds, gather up the towels, empty the woodburner of ashes. Really? this detracts from the holiday and enjoyment as a guest and the price paid should cover this service. We have had many holidays over many years and never once been asked to strip the bed. The timings on the information sheet just crossed out rather than a new sheet put in and this looked poor. Attention to detail is important.

  We loved the beautiful holiday home, loads of space, hot tub, log burner.

  ... Few down points for a uncleaned BBQ that we couldn't use even after trying to scrub clean. There isn't a washer dryer as advertised, only a washer. Hoover,sweeping brush and dust pan and brush, dirty, we had to empty Hoover, as it hadn't been emptied in a while. We like to keep clean found it a little difficult, could do with new cleaning products. Upper bedroom has a small door that opens out, like a little balcony. MIND YOUR HEAD, as the door is small you need go duck down, you can bang your head, as we did on a few occasions. Before leaving you are asked to put bins out and strip all beds ! For the price paid this is not something you should ask your guests to do. Family's take note that days out will mean a 30- 60 min drive as there are only a few tourist attractions near by. Bala is nice and can be done in an afternoon.

  This is a fantastic property for large groups with a variety of comfortable rooms and many ensuite rooms.

  Perfect for families as well as corporate functions. Its located in the heart of a beautiful village, close to Barmouth beach, some local amenities and takeaways and cafes, but not close to any large supermarkets, however you can order food shopping. Parking is located just a few minutes walk away with a few spaces outside to unload. The property was clean and the photos do not do it justice. Kitchen is extremely well equipped, there is a drinks chiller in the sitting room as well as a poker table, football table, pool table and shuffleboard. The dining room comfortably seats all guests and there were highchairs and cots available. Bed Linen and hand, bath and teatowels are provided. Fantastic property, easy to contact the owner and the housekeeper who is available and local if you need them. I would definitely recommend.

  We really loved the barn!

  We were 5 ladies that came to Wales to climb snowdon! Snowdon is abit of a drive away from the accommodation, but we felt like we had a little holiday too! The barn is beautiful, clean and spacious and is surrounded by rolling fields, full of sheep and tiny lambs! We LOVED the big hot tub and it was much needed after the climb! It is a self catering holiday so people should be prepared for that (we were) but we had milk left for us and toilet rolls and afew basic bits which was nice! We would have loved a frying pan but if thats literally the only thing we could have asked for! We enjoyed two nice meals in Yr Eagles near by and played darts in there and the lake at Bala is gorgeous and we went canoeing there! Honestly we had a lovely time and the accommodation was spot on! Really great!
