  • "Glyn Terrace is a lovely property in dire need of renovation."

    The main bathroom light was broken and despite contacting the owner was never fixed in our 2 week stay meaning my elderly parents had to shower by torchlight on darker days. I slept in the front twin room which has fungus growing in the ceiling and black mould under the window. On our second day the fence on the patio blew down as it was so rotten and both the decking and especially the step onto the decking, are spongy, rotten and need replacing. There should also be a warning on the inside and outside of the second bathroom door as well as on your website warning about the low lintel. I was rushing to find my glasses on my way out for the day, forgot about the height of the door and have been diagnosed with mild concussion and whiplash! Ever room needs redecorating as wallpaper is peeling and cracking at the joints and pillows and matress covers need replacing as they are stained and gross. Despite all this, beds and furnishings were comfortable if very dated and all utensils barring a big serving spoon were in place.

    A fifteen to twenty minute walk to the pub , we went to The Australia which was lively with very friendly staff and we enjoyed our meals The cottage is in a quiet spot ,it’s warm and comfortable and there is everything you need. We also stayed in February and hope to come again.

  • "Clean and very comfortable cottage."

    Very well equipped and felt like we were staying in a friends house rather than an impersonal holiday let. Plenty of walks directly from the door - woods and with easy access to coastal path, so ideal for dogs.

  • "The property was good for us."

    It was a shame that there were no Xmas decorations, being Xmas week, but we had the log burner. Kitchen very well equipped. The property is tired and the cleaners are probably not looking around as there were a few cobwebs and some plug sockets had seen better days, but it didn't bother us, but it might a picky person. Good location. We spent most of our time on Black Rock Sands with the dog. We had a nice chilled out week. Garden was secure for the dog. Had to call the owner regarding heating of radiators, but this was resolved very quickly.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay although rustic and dated the house is very comfortable and spacious with nice bedrooms."

    Great for large families and dogs. A shower room and separate bathroom both with loos was very useful. We would like to visit again but next time I'd like to see a fireguard, serving spoons,a new bath plug ( it leaked) and better cleaning many cobwebs,smelly kitchen bins,grimy tiled floor and a stained toilet. The cottage is perfectly adequate and its nice to stay in a traditional old Welsh property with a log burner. It's very homely. Thankyou.

  • "This was our first visit to Borth y Gest, it was a lovely quiet location, parking near the property was really useful."

    The accommodation was comfortable with everything you would need for a self catering holiday but it would benefit from a bit of a spruce up. This however did not spoil our stay.

  • "From the minute we stepped over the thresh hold of 6 Glyn Terrace we felt at home and relaxed."

    A lovely period property with a perfect combination of modern and antique, and spotlessly clean. Despite the low doorway and stair well catching us unawares a couple of times (there is signage about this), we really enjoyed our stay in this peaceful street so near the Wales Coastal Path, and all the pretty coves. It was great being able to have our two whippets with us as well. We would return in a heart beat to this little sanctuary.

  • "Borth y Gest is a beautiful seaside village."

    Not only is there the main bay, but lots of other very sandy beaches just a short walk away, plus a woodland nature reserve on the side of the hillside. We loved it. Glyn Terrace felt like staying at an elderly relatives house, which had been updated with a new kitchen and bathrooms. Everything worked well and it was cosy and warm, even when the wind was howling. The beds were comfortable, as were the sofas. We particularly loved the view of the distant mountains, across the bay, from the dining room table.

  • "A lovely place for a seaside family holiday with dogs."

    Short walk to a choice of dog-friendly beaches. Lovely nearby woods. The cottage is comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped. The barbecue works well. We enjoyed eating out in the garden most evenings on cosy garden settees. No.6 Glyn Terrace provided us with a memorable family holiday

    Much better than last year in Abersoch where I had to fix the washing machine, my wife had to clear the air flow from the tumble dryer and the dishwasher had no way to turn on that we found. My wife suggested that the sheets were getting a bit worn. A minor problem was addressed by the owner.

    ) It had a lovely view of the mountains and just felt homely. We had one of the most relaxing holidays ever which was just what we needed. My sister said she had some of the best nights sleep as the bed was so comfortable. The only thing we wanted to mention was the windows needed cleaning and there were a few cobwebs we had to deal with as one of us has a spider phobia.

    My only critic is ,I apricate its a dog friendly property but a lick of paint on walls would not go a miss it was quite tired in places and the chipped plates, bowls and out of date food stuffs which if you used you were asked to replace. Otherwise nice place to stay.

    The house is very comfortable and well equipped. It feels like staying in someone’s much loved home, rather than just a holiday let. Somewhat disconcerted by the arrival of Google Siri since our last visit, especially as someone had set two alarms for 6.40 am and 6.45 am!
