Guests say

Ceilwart Cottage in Barmouth is praised for its stunning views and spaciousness, offering a comfortable and peaceful stay. Guests appreciate the property's unique features, such as the Aga cooker and the sun room, though some find the Aga challenging. The location's beauty and the property's charm are frequently mentioned, despite comments on the steep access and the need for clearer signage.

The cleanliness of the cottage has received mixed feedback. Some guests have reported it to be spotlessly clean, while others have noted issues with dirty floors, cobwebs, and unclean kitchenware. The inconsistency in cleanliness has led to a slightly above average score.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and serene setting. The elevated position offers superb sunsets and a sense of seclusion. However, the steep approach and the need for better signage slightly affect the score.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with plenty of space and a variety of seating areas. The main bedroom's pillows and the single beds received some criticism for comfort, which slightly lowers the score.

The facilities are generally appreciated, especially the spacious sun room and multiple living areas. However, there are comments about the Aga being challenging and the lack of a dryer. The need for maintenance in some areas, such as the gates, also affects the score.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, therefore this category cannot be scored.

    We had to cancel our visit to Ceilwartt cottage two years ago through ill health so delighted to finally get to visit this wonderful location.

  • Gerd

    It was a perfekt place vor relaxing and also for some activities.

  • Janet

    Everything that a self catering holiday needed. We didn’t actually cook in but everything available. We had a slight issue with hot water ( probably self inflicted) but despite it being late the maintenance lady responded and it was easily solved. The description does say about the steepness of the lane up to the property but seeing is believing so need to be aware for elderly. Hence the beautiful view!! We met the owner and she was extremely friendly. The exit onto the main road could possibly be enhanced with the aid of a mirror. All in all an excellent week in the beautiful welsh countryside.
