“We enjoyed being in the cottage and found it spacious and well insulated.”

The entrance porch is very useful for boots, coats and rucksacks as well as keeping the kitchen warm.The location is ideal for exploring the Peninsula, Anglesey and Snowdonia and the many Natioinal Trust places. The village is peaceful and quiet with a great pub The Goat Inn only 15 mins drive away which serves excellent food. Everyone was friendly and gave us information about the area. We were particularly fortunate with the weather, 6 out of our 7 days were sunshine! ...

The entrance porch is very useful for boots, coats and rucksacks as well as keeping the kitchen warm.The location is ideal for exploring the Peninsula, Anglesey and Snowdonia and the many Natioinal Trust places. The village is peaceful and quiet with a great pub The Goat Inn only 15 mins drive away which serves excellent food. Everyone was friendly and gave us information about the area. We were particularly fortunate with the weather, 6 out of our 7 days were sunshine! The kitchen was not as clean as we would have expected eg. sticky handles on the drawers, crumbs and stains on the on the kitchen chairs, uncleaned glass in the kitchen door (which we cleaned) and the cupboards rather a jumble. It was well stocked with items and had everything you needed, just wanted a good sort out! The Twin bedroom Velux window and the one in the twin bedroom ensuite would not open. This had been recorded in the visitor book by a by a previous occupant at the beginning of July. As the twin bedroom window is set on only opening a very small amount it can get very warm and there is no way to ventilate the room. In addition the extractor fan in the ensuite does not appear to work, we could see a switch high up on the ensuite wall but we could not reach it. This is bad for the property as there is no where for the steam to go. The hot water is very efficient but we couldn't find a way to put the central heating on, even though it sounds simple in the instructions. We only wanted it on one evening for a short time but as the cooler weather comes the only way to get extra heat is to light the fire or use the plug in radiators. We used the radiator just for an hour. I'm sure the above problems can be easily sorted out and must not detract from an excellent holiday destination.

“The cottage is in a beautiful location,but there are a couple of things you should be aware of, in the village there are no shops,so you have to drive into town for food etc, also there is no pub.”

So it is very quiet. Also the last part of the drive to the cottage is approximately 4 miles along some single track with very few places to pull in to oncoming traffic,so you may find yourself reversing a long way to let a tractor pass you,I did more than once. But other than these minor points it’s a lovely cottage in a lovely place.

“The cottage was spacious, clean and comfortable, and in a lovely, quiet hamlet.”

The cottage was well-equipped. There is a strong smell of oil throughout the cottage, probably because the oil boiler is in the kitchen. The radiator in the twin bedroom en suite was on and the adjustable thermostat was missing which meant the room became very hot, and was also a waste of fuel.

“Lovely holiday and lovely cottage.”

Didn’t have a working outside light though and the path to the front door is quite uneven.

“We were met by the owner at the cottage on arrival to the news that one of the bathrooms was out of use.”

There had been a leak and there was a small whole in the ceiling. Whilst we understood his predicament we were not appreciative of his attitude and tone having driven 6 hours to get there. A plumber was supposed to have visited the cottage before we arrived but did not turn up. He came back a couple of days later to suggest that there was nothing wrong and left a metre square whole in the kitchen ceiling. Plasterboard dust was left everywhere and my wife spent the next hour cleaning up the mess. We have pictures to send to back up our claim. We spent good money on services we could not use. We would like a refund of some sort for the inconvenience caused. The owner suggested he would compensate us for our troubles but said we needed to direct them to you. The owner also blamed the previous occupant of fake news. Again we have the emails as evidence. Not the hassle free holiday we were hoping for. Have left my feedback until now so my tone was less emotive. Look forward to receiving your response.

“We were unable to turn on the shower in the double bedroom, therefore we had to use the one in the twin bedded room.”

We were not very keen on one of the pillows because it was feather filled. The cottage was in a quiet location and in an ideal location for many local attractions. It was also spacious and well equipped.
