"Great that everything was on one level for a mobility impaired guest."
Wetroom really was a plus. Location great for what we wanted. Ability to control heating appreciated.
A few cleaning issues where details were missed: draining rack in kitchen had pink mould- clearly not been cleaned in a while; underside of bin lid also not clean (I cleaned both). Shower anti-slip mat showed signs of mould (we brought our own to use) and the wire wardrobe was dusty. The design of the cutlery makes it difficult to properly clean, alot had brown stains and despite there being a scrubby sponge, I couldn't get them clean. Would suggest throw out and get plain cutlery.
On balance these are small things, and easily fixed by more attention by the cleaning crew (and different cutlery).
Washing machine was great to have; the shower stool helpful for us; having a smart tv also a plus. We had an adult sleep in the second bedroom and were grateful for the metal framed bed which felt robust when compared to the 2 wooden beds. Bedding 100% cotton and bamboo mattress covers- very much appreciated to help keep sleepers comfortable. Welcome basket was a nice touch too, thankyou.
We did contact the owner regarding an issue with the main house - Martin responded quickly and in a friendly way, and we were able to sort the problem for him, rather than someone else have to come.
Overall we were able to relax and recharge which is what a holiday is all about. Ooh, and we saw an owl!

"You can't fault the location of this property - it's perfectly placed to explore all areas of the Llyn Peninsula."
However the cottage itself needs some TLC in order to match up to expectations and the descriptions shown.
The double bed and sofas are extremely uncomfortable. These need upgrading urgently.
Much of the cutlery, crockery, pots and pans in the kitchen were dirty or greasy.
The games room was a disappointment - the pool table was broken, so were the cues, and the balls were completely mismatched. There was little space to play around the whole table and the rug was a trip hazard. The Playstation was a mess with controllers needing charging and the whole system needing a reset.
Overall, the place felt like it hadn't been maintained or checked in weeks or months. With a bit of time, care and effort this place could be a real gem.

"The accommodation is 'adequate'."
Most things are provided, however, the quality of the crockery, cutlery, and soft furnishings were very basic. Not enough pots and pans. There were only two of us. Heaven knows how five people could manage! The property had no heart to it -soulless, cold on arrival and smelling of damp. The electric shower produced a dribble of water and didn't live up to the concept of a wet room. Still no space for toiletries. Towels had a nasty smell. The pottery was closed and the butcher's shop is no longer there. The local garage did have a good range of food, etc. Fortunately the area was very beautiful and we went to some great beaches. Overall we were disappointed. We had high hopes based on the reviews, but sadly we didn't feel the property deserved it's high rating.

"We rented this property last year and have just returned from a family holiday renting both houses."
The cottage was ideal for my son and his three children and a few yards from the main house and playback which the children loved.

"Had a very comfortable stay at Mill House, it was spacious and had great facilities."
. Perhaps if the freezer was relocated to the utility, space could be made for a small dishwasher which would be useful. The hot water is very hot so be careful, and the electric shower is good. The property is in a quiet location and only 15-20 mins drive from some of the best beaches on the Llyn. Would happily stay again.

"A damp smell when you 1st arrive and cold in the property until you turn the heating up."
Then it takes a bit to warm the place up. Crockery etc needed washing before use as greasy and unclean. Double bed needs a new mattress as it dips where people lie. The settee is low with no support on the cushion nearest the window, plus that’s past its use by date with lots of marks on it. The steps down to the laundry room need to be high lighted as I’ve tripped up and down them as you find it hard to defrienciate the edge. Dust behind radiators and on floor. Looks like the cleaner only does a quick sweep of the property it also needs a refresh of paint and there are marks on doors and chipped paint. The shower was very poor with now pressure, needs a handle lower down for those who wish to use the shower chair which is stored in the laundry room. A shower curtain would be appreciated also and shelving for toiletries and clothing when getting undressed etc.
Location is great for exploring and plenty of bird life to watch from living room.
We're sorry to see Mill House Cottage didn't reach your expectations and disappointed that we weren't contacted during your stay to try to put right the things that you feel weren't right.
For the benefit of future guests, we'd like to address the items you've mentioned:
- we have a smart Hive heating system installed and unfortunately we'd had a power cut ahead of your visit; once the power was back on the heating schedule hadn't reconnected (only manually pressing the heating button on the thermostat would activate the heating). We only found this out at the beginning of April, please accept our apologies.
- it is guests' responsibility to clean their dishes and crockery; this is not something a changeover company provides so we can only apologise on behalf of the previous guests who appeared not to have cleaned up after themselves properly. We do request in the guest manual that guests cleanup after themselves ahead of the next guests.
- the double mattress was replaced at great expense 12 months ago, with a medium firmness.
- we've not had any comments about the step in the laundry room in the last few years, but we'll look to paint a line just before the step to warn future guests.
- the shower is a 9kW electric Mira Sport shower, the most powerful we could find. We're sorry this didn't meet your expectations.
- previous guests mentioned they didn't like having the shower seat stored in the shower area which is why it's stored in the utility room. We're sorry the current grab handle that was installed to assist with lesser mobile people wasn't at the correct height for you.
- the property was fully renovated 3 years ago. We shall update decor and furnishings as required.
- we're very sorry the property sounds like it was dirty in areas. We pay a lot of money for the cleaning service and take this feedback very seriously, we will pick this up with our changeover company.
We're glad the immediate and local surroundings gave you the same satisfaction that they have given so many other guests, we do hope you'll visit again in the future.

"This is a wonderful location for exploring the Llyn peninsula."
Beautiful beaches within 10 minutes drive and lots of National Trust places to visit, along with little villages, harbours and places to connect with nature. The cottage is very well equipped, it had everything we needed and completely spotless. It does get humid and quite damp, but I think that might be the location, as there's lots of water and greenery around. This wasn't a problem though, as we were able to put a boost on the heating and it helped. We stayed with my son and baby and there was plenty of room, it was so comfortable. We will definitely be going back!

"A lovely place to stay & relax."
My mum & I really enjoyed our stay at Mill House cottage, we found the beds very comfortable & we both slept well, the cottage is very well equipped especially the kitchen, the basket of shower gels, soaps & sweet goodies is a lovely idea. It is perfectly positioned on the Llyn Peninsula & easy to get to all of the outstanding beaches nearby. Thank you Martin for sorting out the TV & sharing your vast amount of knowledge of the area. My only regret is not making it to the Ty Coch Inn on the beach, maybe next time.

"Wow, when we opened the door to Millbrook Cottage the shine was amazing, everything sparkled, fantastic."
We were looking for a cottage to suit a disabled person, wet room etc., and this was it, so easy to manoeuvre around the open plan area without getting assistance giving freedom to the wheelchair user, highly recommended. l would also say that it would be suitable for a family with young children the open plan great to leave them playing safely. Equipment is outstanding no need to take anything.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay apart from getting lost occasionally in the twisty lanes, part of the fun.
It was our pleasure to host you at Mill House Cottage and it was lovely to meet you all, you were perfect guests! Just after you left we raised the bed so next time you visit you should find getting in and out of bed even easier. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

"Well presented property."
The wet room could do with a chair for disabled people, we used the patio chair from outside to help. There is a bar which is useful to hold onto. We found the floor very slippy so we bought 2 anti slip mats to help. We found the double bed to be very low. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Unfortunately we didn't find the settee very comfortable. Nice place to stay in that location, lovely and clean and extra touches ie: soaps, shower gels and flowers.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Mill House Cottage. We've now raised the king size double bed which will make getting in and out easier, and we've also purchased a shower chair for the wet room. We hope to see you again soon!

It is in a quite spot but is central for all locations on the Lyne peninsular. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this cottage you are looking for a peaceful place to stay. Would recommend the Tafarn Pen Y Bont pub for good food and drink. Marion the owner is very friendly and will go above and beyond to be helpful.

"Mill House Cottage is situated in a nice quiet location."
It was clean and spacious and comfortable. If we have to have a niggle, or two, they are; no electric shaver point, the double bed is a bit low for the more mature guest (this was mentioned in the visitors book by a few guests), the hot tap in the kitchen sink is dreadfully slow and we should have had our grandson to sort out the digital telly (we did sort it eventually). All of this was just us and didn't detract from our enjoyment of our stay at Mill House.
We're glad you had an enjoyable stay at Mill House Cottage. We've now raised the bed height so getting in and out should be much easier now. We also managed to change the Smart TV home menu settings to a basic display which should make life easier for everyone!
We hope to see you again in the future!

"The location and bungalow was excellent and the owners were lovely."
The only thing I would change for me personally is the beds and the sofas and having said that there is nothing wrong with them, they are really good quality, just not ideal for tired old bones like mine! There is everything that you would need for your stay and definitely recommend to others.
We are very sorry to hear the beds were not to your comfort, and wish we had been made aware of this during your stay so we could try to do something to make you feel more comfortable.
We replaced the beds and mattresses 3 months ago with luxurious hotel quality mattresses and mattress toppers, we've had guests highlight how comfortable they've found the beds so we're sorry we weren't given the chance to rectify your discomfort.
We are glad you had an enjoyable holiday and look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
