    Oven was not working but owner was responsive when alerted. A freezer compartment in fridge would be handy.

    Cottage is very cosy and in a great location and really easy to find. Instructions for access were clear and parking nearby was easy. Plenty of attractions nearby an lots of local amenities.

    If you like to park outside your property then this is not for you. There is plenty of free on street parking by the chapel on Mersey Street but I can imagine at peak times of the year it would get very busy.

    This is a little gem of a property. Located in a lovely quiet bay with plenty of walks nearby, a nature reserve at the top of the street and we also found a hidden beach 🤩. Plenty of room for 3 adults and a 13 year old and the adult size bunk beds were a bonus. The cottage is very well equipped,modern, clean,warm and cozy. Broadband is good and there is a fab outside terrace. We didn’t use this as it was too cold but I imagine it’s great in summer. Area wise there are 2 small bistro bars located within walking distance ( bottom of Mersey Street), Porthmadog is a longer walk and 3 major supermarkets including one with a fuel station are a 5 min drive away. Communication with the owner was great both over e mail and a courtesy call to discuss the key box code and to answer any questions we had. When we got there they had put a Christmas tree up for us which was a lovely unexpected touch. This is a great base to stay to explore the area.

    Scott called about a week before to answer any questions we had. The house was clean, tidy and felt comfortable. Free on street parking a short walk away. Close to the sea and the coastal walks. Borth-y-Gest is lovely. We had a great holiday and look forward to coming back.

    We had a great stay. The host was very communicative and seems attached to everything going well. There is a second bedroom that is not shown on the photos, containing a bunk bed (two one-person beds) The best thing about this place is the sunny backyard with two tables on a high slope, which is isolated from the street but has a nice view of the mountains. You can eat in the sun!

    We liked it all.

    The property is very well maintained and everything is up to a high standard. We had the whole house for two of us and we thought it was great. Although the weather was fine and hot, the house kept its cool. The location was just what we wanted for our needs with smashing walks to some impressive local beaches and into town, where we discovered the railway (honestly didn't know it was there!). The primary reason for staying here was to visit Portmeirion, which is a must. To quote one visitor "Its barmy!"

    The shower could do with being improved but I’m not sure how that could be accomplished! We knew in advance that it wasn’t the best. The Bath was fine!

    The house and location were perfect for the cost, the owners were great at communication!

    Location was brilliant for being a short drive away from town & Porthmadog beach. Collecting keys was simple, they were in a key safe, the owner emailed us with all relevent information that we'd need. A short walk to be able to visit a place to eat.

    The bathroom would benefit from a shower curtain so you can shower in peace without stressing about water going everywhere. There was a seperate toilet which is fine but it would be ideal if there was a sink to wash hands straight after - it's so much more hygienic than having to touch door knob and washing hands in bathroom.

    Excellent location. Lovely cottage had what we needed.
