"We loved the house, it was clean and full of everything we needed."
The layout was perfect for us being fully open plan, we could easily all sit around the table for food, games, jigsaws..perfect. The location is spot on, literally at the beach and then five minutes the other way you're in the main street or the castle. We had great weather for October which obviously helped but we really loved it. I have to say the downstairs toilet with the sink in was loved by all! There were rather a lot of instructions upon leaving that we've not had at any other house we've stayed. Stripping all the beds, putting all towels and bath mats in a laundry bag and even putting out the bins. We all appreciate that it's a large house to clean but we normally have a 6/7bedroom house for the whole family and have never had this to do. We always clean round and take out rubbish and food etc, this just seemed a bit much. That said it didn't diminish any enjoyment it just made getting out for 10 a bit of a rush!!

"“Despite the modern amenities and convenient location, our stay at this holiday cottage was marred by several issues."
A significant security breach occurred when the owners entered unannounced, posing an escape risk to our dogs as the rear gate was left open. The interior revealed a lack of cleanliness with hidden debris and a dusty, malfunctioning fire. The sofa was in poor condition, stained and torn. The owner’s aggressive response to a genuine oversight was unprofessional. Despite attempting to address concerns, communication was ignored . Uncomfortable beds having to chase for the front door key that should have been on site having to strip our own beds as if we stayed in a hostel not a premium property further diminished the overall experience. It’s unfortunate, as the property has potential, but our stay was overshadowed by these significant drawbacks.”

"A stunning 5 star property."
We were moved here at the last minute as original property in Harlech had a problem. Thanks to all that organised and allowed this to happen. This house had a great location, beautifully presented and so comfortable. Would return with no hesitation to this amazing home.

Superb property with everything we needed.

"Very clean newly renovated property which has lots of lovely features and is fully equipped for all your needs."
All the bedrooms are a good size and the layout has been very well thought out. It is extremely close to the beach at Criccieth (2 minutes walk or less than 10 minutes walk if you need the dog friendly end). Plenty of on road local parking and close to some lovely cafe and restaurants. We would definitely recommend it and had a great time. North Wales itself is extremely pretty with a wide range of things to do and some spectacular scenery within Snowden national park.

"Thank you for letting us stay in your property, parking was a bit of an issue ..."
Thank you for letting us stay in your property, parking was a bit of an issue we didn't give a 5 for the comfort as felt having spot light everywhere and no option of a lamp it didn't give a comfy feel we actually left early from the property, the shower in main bathroom changed temperature and scolded me - if it had been my daughter that would have been a real issue We look after various high end properties and never have any of them asked the guests to do the dishwasher, bins or strip the beds this is normally part of the changeover service The welcome basket was a lovely touch and could not fault how clean the house was

"Gwaled Y Mor was a beautiful, immaculate, very comfortable, well equipped holiday home very near the sea."
We had a lovely week here with 2 excited young children (4 and 2) and an excited dog! The house is a 2 minute (if that!) walk to the beach and castle. The outside patio area was private and big enough for the children and the dog to play and had a nice patio dining set for eating outside. Would recommend Dylans for a lovely meal and Cadwalladers for delicious ice cream. We also paid a visit to The Children’s Farm Park near Harlech, which was really good with a lovely play park and soft play. The children were able to feed the lambs and cuddle the baby goats. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would recommend both the house and Criccieth.

"We had a great time and really appreciated the quality of our holiday home."
It was spotlessly clean, and very well maintained. The location was perfect for us. We were made to feel very welcome and relaxed. The owners made it clear they would help if needed, but gave us all the space we needed to feel at home. Every room was nicely decorated and the whole family were very happy. I would certainly recommend this holiday home to friends. Thank you!

"The property was spotlessly clean, exceptionally well equipped and exceeded our expectations."
Thank you for your generous welcome box, the tea and cake after a slow journey was gratefully received. The proximity to the beach meant that we could actually hear the waves at night and the view of the illuminated castle was stunning. We feel very fortunate to have found such a gem of a property. We would absolutely book again and hope to return soon. Mrs Callaghan

"Loved our 3 nights in Galway Y Mor."
Everything modern and new. Super comfy beds and very good quality linen. Kitchen very well equipped with a large American style fridge. Great location very near the seafront. Loved eating at Dylan’s restaurant, also at Tonnau Restaurant in a hotel a couple of minutes walk from the holiday let. Would definitely recommend and would stay again when in the area. Very generous welcome basket too, many thanks.

"We really enjoyed our week in Criccieth in this beautifully renovated house, equipped with everything we needed."
It’s location made a great base to explore the area as well as being a stone’s throw from the sea. The owners went out of their way to check everything was ok and were very helpful. Highly recommend.
