  • "This property had a mixed review from us Check out 10am was too early and check in 4pm was a little late you’re virtually missing 2 days."

    We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving ….

    Thanks for your feedback, in the quieter months when guests have contacted us to request an earlier checkin or a later checkout we have tried to accommodate and there is no need to wash and clean everything as we employ professional cleaners between every guests stay. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner

  • "Loved the location of Castell, it really was a very short walk to ther beach."

    This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture (Sofa) was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!

    Delighted you had a good week and enjoyed Castell and our facilities, we use professional cleaners and we will pass your comments to them, hope to see you again. Property Owner

    We had the best weekend staying in Castell. The house is perfect and has everything you need with so much space, spotless too! Beds were really comfortable. The short walk to the beach was definitely an added bonus to this beautiful house with amazing views. We were treated very kindly by the weather so had the most perfect weekend. Highly recommended to anyone. Hosts were very friendly and communication 1st class.

    The log burner and hot tub really made it. Would definitely rebook in the future. The only minor concerns were the carpets on the stairs and landing could do with a deep clean along with shower units. Also a canopy over the hot tub would have been great. Highly recommend

    A few minutes walk takes you into town but there are restaurants and a cafe closer too. Level access to the harbour and Warren beach (at low tide) but a few minutes walk up the hill towards Pwllheli takes you to the sand dunes access to the Warren beach which is great for early morning dog walks.

    We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Castell and appreciated the house and location, hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

    It has everything that makes it a home from home. The situation is across the road from a beach and a short 10 minute walk from the town amenities. The local bus runs frequently with a bus stop 25m away from the front door. The hot tub in the garden was a joy and the high lookout gave wonderful sea views. Thanks for having us.

  • "Castell is a lovely house, beautifully presented and with excellent facilities."

    Turn left from the property and after a few minutes walk is the Warren beach and turning right from Castell is the lovely village of Abersoch with its shops, pubs and restaurants. The house was beautifully clean and warm with the extra benefit of a log burner. My daughter and partner used the hot tub one evening which they loved and it was also serviced by an engineer during our stay which is an excellent indication that the owner is aware of his obligations to visitors at his property. I cannot fault this property and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to holiday in this beautiful part of the world.

    The only little thing was that we couldn’t use the hot tub until the second day as it had been cleaned and refilled . We waited until 0100 but it was still not up to temp . Everything else was lovely .

    Glad you had a great stay and hope to see you again. We change the water in the hot tub so it’s fresh and clean for each new guest , it needs to then heat back up, sometimes it can take a little longer but we are sure our guests appreciate there is always a full changeover for their stay.

  • "House was fine, location good."

    Hot tub was good. Although couple of frustrations that we couldn’t have expected for the price we paid. No dishwasher tablets, very little toilet roll in each loo, so had to go straight out to buy extra. No egg cups. The main issue was that it could do with a really good clean, loads of dust and dirt under sofas, behind bedside cabinets etc. including old chocolate wrappers. As soon as you go to plug in a charger you see how dirty the place really was. I’d also expect curtains that actually kept the light out, they were so cheap and thin they were useless, which made the whole place feel cheap.

    Thanks for your feedback, we have raised your comments with our professional cleaners. If it had been raised while staying, the cleaners would have come out to address any concerns you had. On the curtains they are Laura Ashley and we have never had comments before but we will see if black out linings can be added. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage, pretty clean and tidy in general."

    Hot tub a bonus but could do with a roof / wind shelter and next to the main road. Also, the adjoining property appears to have a shared access which we weren’t aware of. This was a problem as we have a small dog which can nip strangers when frightened. Could do with a decent mop too. All in all though a pleasant experience.

    Thanks for letting us know about the mop, we have replaced it for the next guests arrival. The neighbouring property does have pedestrian access to put their bins out along the rear boundary line, sorry it was an issue for your dog, not been a problem before as very rarely used. Property Owner

About the location

ABERSOCH

Pwllheli 6 miles.

The attractive harbour village of Abersoch is situated on the Llyn Peninsula in a region of Wales renowned for its outstanding scenery and varied walking. The village, situated between two glorious bays, is one of the most popular sailing venues in North Wales and important sailing regattas are held there throughout the summer months. Numerous shops cater for the tourist as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are also opportunities for golfers as there is a course just outside the village and horse riding facilities are also available nearby. Watersports enthusiasts are also well catered for, particularly windsurfing, water skiing and dinghy sailing, not to mention renowned surfing at Port Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth). The long, sandy Abersoch Main Beach is probably the most popular beach in the area. There is a wonderful selection of beaches in the surrounding area of the Llyn Peninsula, including the beautiful and often quiet Porth Ceriad, with it's high cliffs, and sandy Porth Oer ("Whistling Sands"). Most of the coastline is owned by the National Trust and there are many remote bays, sandy beaches and cliffs, as well as wildlife havens like Bardsey Island to explore.
