Only small issue no bedding for sofa bed - went to Asda up the road to purchase so not a problem. We will definitely be coming back to Towyn - great base camp to explore north wales .

The bungalow was on a quiet residential road. The bungalow was clean and in most areas nicely decorated,however there were some not so good points. The gardens were poorly maintained with overgrowth and weeds in the front and back gardens of the property,this didn't create a good first impression. The TV remote in the back bedroom wasn't working and thus rendered the TV useless as we couldn't change the volume which was very loud. We did try new batteries but this didn't help at all. The bed was a double and rather small for a holiday let. The linen however smelt lovely,fresh and clean. The kitchen was a nice size however some doors were missing and others nailed or screwed shut,once again didn't help with the aesthetics of the property . Another minor thing although frustrating was the knives were blunt and old. Moving to the bathroom it was a decent size with the shower being spacious and easy to use . The light in the bathroom was flickering so we chose not to use it for the duration of our stay. The sofa was uncomfortable and dipping in the middle again not what you would expect of a good holiday let.The front door of the property was difficult to lock and the handle needed some strong lifting to get the lock to turn. The worst part of our stay however was the appearance of ants in the living room,the odd one or two at first but on our last few days there were a lot. I did raise a few of these points with the vendor and they said they would have come to change the bulb and would look at getting the ants seen too. The ant nest was outside to be fair but they had found their way in to the front room . Overall a disappointing stay ,small things but they affected our stay overall,we were disappointed, also every other holiday let's we have stayed in had a welcome note and pack which included all sorts from wine to chocolates or biscuits. This while not essential I know but all the same would offer a nice touch for new visitors.
