The majority of reviews mention the property being spotlessly clean, with only a minor note about a hover needing emptying. The high standard of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.
The property's location is generally praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions and beaches. However, one review mentioned it was not the best area in Wales, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with luxurious decor and furnishings. Some concerns about suitability for those with mobility issues and low sofas for the elderly are noted, but overall comfort is highly rated.
Facilities like the games room and hot tub are hits, but some maintenance issues with a coffee machine, BBQ, and bifold doors are reported. Despite these, the well-equipped kitchen and ample amenities leave guests satisfied.
While the owners are praised for their communication and checking in with guests, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness'. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Itâs spotlessly clean, beautifully presented and each bedroom has its own unique decor. The games room and hot tub were fantastic as well as the play frame and trampoline in the garden - keeping all the kids aged 2 - 13 happy all weekend. Donât hesitate to book this house - you will love it.

It is huge - perfect for a mix of families and ages. The large open plan kitchen / dining / lounge is perfect for everyone to be together but then the games room and snug are ideal to spread out. It is so well equipped and has everything you could need. The decor is beautiful - stylish, cosy and high quality. The photos don't do it justice. The whole place was decorated for Christmas which was lovely - the snug especially was beautiful and was so cosy and welcoming with the log fire, twinkling lights and Christmas tree. Communication with the owners was great. We received welcome texts and regular check-ins as we were there during storm Darragh which was bad along the north Welsh coast. We had a fabulous time and loved it there. Thank you.

The owners made out time there extra special and even left us a bottle of bubbly on arrival. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch and there was so much space. We will definitely be back!
