    Nothing to improve, but one note for international travelers is that bathroom towels are not supplied. This is easily solved by a quick trip to Tesco!

    This was the nicest place we stayed on our recent trip to Wales. It was very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, and very well equipped. The extra loo outside and washer/dryer would be handy for large groups. Everything worked flawlessly, it is a very short walk to the water, and a pleasant stroll to Porthmadog. Free parking nearby was easy to find at the time of year we visited. We would love to stay here again.

    Beautiful location with lovely little garden leading to a lane with a playground and route to the beach. The view from just outside the front door is one of the best seaside and mountain landscapes I've seen. It's glorious to see every morning. You can hear the gentle lap of the waves as the tide in the little harbour comes in. it's so peaceful and quiet in the evening. Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed.

    Could not open outdoor toilet door and did not have tumble dryer. Only 1 small bin in the kitchen and had to look for the bins outside the gate of the garden.

    Electric fireplace, nicely decorated house and well equipped.

    A picture postcard cottage in a quaint little village!

    It was perfect for us as a couple and would be okay as a short break for 4 but space wise I wouldn’t exceed that! As a heads up to others, we went out of season and a lot of places were shut on Monday & Tuesday nights so if you wanted to eat out you have to travel by car.

    Lovely little village just outside Porthmadog. Cottage was perfect for our stay and beautifully presented. The walk into Porthmadog was lovely by daylight. Everything that you could need is provided and great communication with the owner. I would definitely book to stay here again.

    This is a fabulous place to stay, so many little extras, we did not want for anything. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and really well equipped. The lovely well planned out garden was great for having a glass of wine outside and looking at the views. We were lucky we had good weather. Lee responded to our messages promptly, there were no issues, we just wanted to check something, he is a good host. Borth Y Gest is just beautiful, and ideally placed to explore North Wales. Porthmadog is about a 3 minute drive away, and has 3 supermarkets as well as lots of lovely food places and shops. Overall, an excellent stay.

    The parking is either up or down the hill, as no street parking or drive directly outside.

    It is very close to the sea view cafe, which is why we came back to this area. The price was excellent and lovely beaches and coastal path.

    Nothing to complain about, everything was perfect!

    Bryn Goleu is a lovely cottage in a small village (Borth-y-Gest). The location is perfect for walks along the coast path or in the mountains, and in the warmer season close to beaches for swimming or watersports. The cottage is very well equipped, really a 'home from home', with a fully equipped kitchen and cosy sitting room with an electric fire, board games etc.. We stayed there after Christmas when the weather was horrible, so it was wonderful to come back to such a cosy cottage after a day's walk and relax with a cup of tea in front of the fireplace. The cottage also has a small back garden to sit outside and have BBQs in the summer (we couldn't use it because it was raining). Overall, a wonderful place to relax! The owners were very helpful and quick to answer questions by email. Thank you Lee and Jane, I'll definitely return for another short break at Bryn Goleu!

    As there was no heating, the upstairs of the property was somewhat cold, moreover we were unable to dry our towels after use on the towel rail, so had to bring them downstairs to dry in front of the electric fire.

    Lovely, quaint property with many facilities in a nice quiet location. Well maintained and comfortable house - was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail.
