  • "This is the second time back at Pump cottage and the layout has been improved."

    Its an old Welsh home and this must be taken into consideration but I was perfectly comfortable as a solo traveller with my dog. Breakfast on the top sundrenched terrace listening to the birds in the wood it backs onto starts the day off right. Large fridge freezer which some places lack. The shower is powerful and hot. Situated on a quiet road makes for a peaceful stay and yet close to the coastal path as well as many woodland walks straight from the door. I hope to return soon.

  • "We had another great holiday at the Pump House."

    We find the cottage both welcoming and relaxing. From the cottage, you can walk into Pothmadog and enjoy the mountain views and the Ffestiniog railway or take a stroll along the many footpaths leading to either the beaches and hills that surround Borth y gest.

  • "This is a traditional small Welsh cottage with uneven floors, narrow stairs and decor to match."

    Luckily there was just me as I found the back bedroom smelled of cigarettes. Having said that, it was very warm, a lovely shower and placed perfectly for the centre of Borth-y-Gest. Kitchen had a large supply of implements complete with a huge fridge/freezer. It might not be to everyones taste but over a few days it grows on you. The owner kept in touch and left a welcome gift. The price reflects accommodation but it is a quaint place to stay. I am going back next year.

  • "Another glorious week at Pump Cottage."

    We have stayed at the cottage for the last three years. It has always been very clean and a joy to relax in. We have enjoyed the many walks too the quiet coves and sandy beaches and to hills and woods that surround Borth y Gest. Local harbour museum very interesting. We are planning a return holiday next spring.

    Thank you for your feedback and I’m pleased to hear you had a lovely stay. We look forward to welcoming you again next year. Property Owner

    Sitting in the garden listening to the wide variety of bird song, very relaxing. Looking forward to our next holiday at Pump Cottage later in the year.

  • "We had a warm and comfortable stay and really enjoyed our week in Borth y Gest."

    This was a traditional homely terraced house with a modern kitchen that had everything we needed. The central heating and hot water all worked well. There is an open fire which we enjoyed in the cooler evenings. The owner was very helpful. The house was well placed for walks around the attractive bay of Borth y Gest and also along the nearby coast where there are lovely small sandy beaches.

  • "Pump Cottage has been the beloved holiday home of its owner's family for several generations."

    My friend and I arrived to find it clean and tidy with certainly no sign of pet hair or anything strange that another recent visitor claimed to have found. You can see clearly what is in each room from the photos on the Sykes website. The living room is as the family use it and is traditionally styled. The colours are green and red, incidentally, not the curious turquoise and orange apparent on the website. There's T.V. and WiFi . Mobile 'phone reception is best tried upstairs. The kitchen , like the bathroom, is modern. Everything functions. Everything you might need for cooking, dining, storing, cleaning is provided, including washing up liquid. The fridge/ freezer is spacious. There is a percolator for coffee, a kettle and teapot on the work surfaces, microwave above the oven and toaster on the cupboard to the left. The front bedroom is the more spacious. Both contain two single beds with mattresses of a supportive variety rather than the sink - into - it type. There are drawers and clothes hanging hooks on the doors. A hair dryer, clothes hangers and a hot water bottle can be found in a cupboard on the landing. There are helpful notices about the cottage to inform you about such things as the system for recycling and rubbish bins, also two folders of information about local traders, restaurants, places to visit, photos of the area and an interesting history of Borth y Gest village. You reach Glyn Terrace ( or Stryd Pwmp ) via the steep slope of Mersey Street, but you will find parking spaces on the flat opposite the row of cottages.

  • "The property needs a good clean."

    .. everything, dog hair was everywhere, the mouldy walls need to be sorted out and the carpets need to be cleaned, it smells of stale dog urine. We could only put up with it for one night and had to leave the next morning. There is way too much personal clutter to be comfortable. No towels were provided. It's the dirtiest place we have ever stayed :( agent and owner were not bothered.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Firstly, we apologise that the property did not meet your expectations on arrival. On the changeover prior to your stay, the cleaner detected no smell of dog urine. Secondly, it is also an older property and, owing to its location, smells similar to that of damp can be expected but certainly not animal urine, as we work hard to ensure the property is cleaned to an appropriate standard. Towels are most certainly provided and they are located in the cupboard. Lastly, we would like to assure you that we did our absolute best to rectify any issues you experienced during your stay, firstly by offering a re-clean of the property, however this offer was refused. Had we been given the opportunity to put things right for you, we certainly would have at the time. Property Owner

  • "Pump cottage is tiny, it was over flowing with owners personal property."

    The kitchen in particular. The outside space wasn’t secure enough for a small dog, mine escaped. The beds had really uncomfortable mattresses. The cottage is in a beautiful place with lots of dog walks. We feel the cottage needs an update, there is far too much furniture in the lounge.
