The property felt a little unclean (marks on lounge walls, bathroom surfaces neglected), and the weekly cleaner should spend more time on it. Suggestions: provide a welcome book with Wi-Fi info, recycling, and property info; schedule regular deep cleans (carpets, upholstery, update old bedding); fix broken toilet seats, leaking shower, loose lounge window, damaged kitchen cupboards, and touch up paint/plaster. A real shame â the place has huge potential but feels a little unloved for a paid holiday rental.

We stayed as a family of 3 and a large dog and had a lovely few days here. The views from the windows are spectacular and it's just ten minutes from Criccieth, maybe 15 from Porthmadog My only constructive feedback on the property would be that it would be good to have a bit more access to equipment to clean up after yourself, a sweeping brush for the floor maybe. We coped with 4 days but the floor was getting quite mucky, any longer might have been uncomfortable. The garden is a beautiful space which is really well kept and was great for our child and dog. We would definitely stay here again
