  • "Party of 3."

    Myself, 55, mum 86 and dog 4 had a wonderful week in Sgubor cottage. The cottage was very well kitted out and tastefully furnished. There were three bedrooms, a double and twin on the ground floor and a twin on the first floor. There was an open plan kitchen diner living space, the kitchen having every item and utensil you'd need and more The living space had a comfy corner sofa with cushions and throws. The enclosed garden had a quality table and chair set, sun longers and of course, a superb hot tub. There were wood floors throughout and the bed linen throws, pillows and decor were of good quality and tasteful. Things I feel could be improved upon were a bit of painting here and there to freshen up, a deep clean of the shower room as the sealant and grout and around the shower door needs freshening up. Although not listed as being a specifically wheelchair friendly property, once inside the cottage is very good for anyone with reduced mobility. Adding a small ramp alongside the two steps outside the gate and the entrance would make this a really accessible holiday home.

  • "I recently had the pleasure of staying in this holiday cottage just outside the village of Chwilog on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience for me and my friends."

    From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning sea views and the spacious garden that awaited me. One of the highlights of the cottage was the wonderful hot tub, which provided the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind while taking in the picturesque surroundings. In today's digital age, it's also worth noting that the cottage had reliable wifi, ensuring that I could stay connected if needed. Accessibility was a key factor for me, and I was pleased to find that the cottage was accessible friendly, with two downstairs bedrooms and a downstairs shower. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and there were even extra blankets provided for those cooler nights. The ability to control the heating was a welcome feature, allowing me to adjust the temperature to my liking. A short walk away from the cottage, there was a charming local pub where I enjoyed some delicious meals and drinks. It was a great way to immerse myself in the local culture and meet friendly locals. The location of the cottage was also perfect for exploring the Snowdonia National Park. Our host, Arwel, was kind enough to recommend some lovely walking trails, which led us to discover breathtaking waterfalls and even take a refreshing dip. The proximity to the park also meant that there were opportunities for golfing and cycling, with a golf course and cycling trails nearby. The attention to detail in the cottage's decor was evident, and it was clear that great care had been taken to ensure cleanliness. The entire space felt cozy and inviting, making it the perfect home away from home. In conclusion, I recommend this holiday cottage in North Wales to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable getaway. With its stunning sea views, spacious garden, hot tub, accessibility features, comfortable beds, and nearby attractions, it truly exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this charming retreat.

    Easy drive to some of the most beautiful, sandy beaches in the UK and then Snowdonia the other way. Hot tub was great- big size and well maintained.

    Amazing sea views and not over looked at all. Garden was actually enclosed which is perfect for dogs & a big relief for us! Owner was extremely friendly & welcoming. Wifi worked very well & we appreciated the stocked kitchen with utensils and equipment etc The only ‘constructive’ feedback we would give is we were a little short on things such as toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets / cleaning products etc so we went and brought our own. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    The cottage is brilliant, great location for touring the peninsula or further afield. The views from the garden and hot tub are fantastic. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Can’t say enough about how good this cottage is, makes sure you get to Abersoch for a choice of chic shops and food options. Porth Neigwl beach just beyond to play in the surf, Glaslyn Ospreys worth a visit too. Multi sports on Criccieth beach great for kids as well as the Castle Chippie there. Y Madryn pub in the village is dog friendly and does lovely local food and beer. Thanks to A the owner for his guidance during the week, we will be back. Don’t forget to sit out on a clear night in the hot tub and star spot and watch the moon rise over Cardigan Bay!

  • "We recently had the pleasure of staying in Sgubor, a spacious, beautifully converted barn in a peaceful location overlooking fields with a lovely view of the sea."

    Arwel and his family were very welcoming always available if you needed them and if not they left you to enjoy the lovely peace and quiet. The cottage had everything we needed, beautifully furnished and with a very well equipped kitchen including dishwasher. The garden was fully enclosed and perfect for our dog Erik to enjoy the surroundings in a safe environment. The Hot Tub was lovely, well maintained and very clean, the water is changed every-time new guests arrive. We were new visitors to North Wales, it not a place we know well. We chose the area because of the beeches and we were not disappointed. Arwel has great local knowledge and we were blown away by the beauty of the area, all within 40 minutes’ drive. The local beech is around a 20 minutes, lovely walk from the cottage. The pubs within the area are still suffering the fall-out from COVID with changing opening hours and staff shortages so my advice is always give them a call to check their opening times and book a table where possible. There is a local Asda supermarket 10 mins drive away so all is very convenient. The cottage, the hosts and the area were all perfect for our needs and with so many places to visit we have already booked to go back next year. Perfect !

    Outdoor area and hot tub excellent, very well maintained, plenty of seating. Unfortunately let down by the interior. Spiders and cobwebs in every corner, stained carpets, remote control covered in jam, no wardrobes to hang clothes. Sorry to have to say but it wasn't what we expected and we have stayed in many holiday let's around the UK.

    Clean interior and spacious. Helpful it can accept dogs however on arrival there were 2 dog messes in the garden on arrival, one of which I was on the patio in full view and 2 on the driveway where parking is. The garden should of been checked prior to our arrival. Also the garden is not secure for small dogs as my dog nearly got into the field despite being watched. Outdoor recycling bins had not been emptied ready for us either. The previous guest or cleaner had left there cigarette pack on the outdoor window sill and butts on the floor. Better outdoor maintenance is needed. Upstairs bedroom had large stain on carpet. Needed a deep clean.

    A small improvement would be a couple of mats. One at the front door. When it's wet or when using the hot tub, it can get very wet in the hallway. Plus there wasn't a mat in the shower - which made it very slippery. But overall - a fantastic place!

We were lucky enough to have a really hot week so went to the beach most days, our favourites were Llanbedrog and Aberech sands (only 10 minutes drive and free parking with a 2 min walk to the beach) The latter is a stony beach but has stunning views and it was very quiet. Criccieth is also a very pretty little place with the castle, shops, cafes and a beach, but this is not dog friendly. We absoutely loved our stay at Sgubor and have already booked for next Summer.
