Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you again very soon, Jayne and John

Thank you for your feedback. We made the decision to allow smaller dog breeds only, due to the space in the property and garden. As dog owners ourselves, we know how much space dog beds/crates etc take up, as we feel that larger dog breeds would fill the space very quickly, particularly if at full occupancy. The seating in the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner allows for a range of different options for up to 5 guests, including a sofa, armchair, large footstool/pouffe, desk seating, plus the 5 breakfast bar stools. Additionally, there is a full dining suite and large corner seating area outside for warmer days and nights. These are all shown in the photographs, so guests can see before making a booking if the layout would work for them. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - it's very much appreciated. The bedroom light is a newly installed dimmer switch and it does take a little getting used to. We look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Best wishes, Jayne and John

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your 2 week stay with us. As a returning guest, we really value your feedback on the improvements we have made. We very much look forward to you joining us for your next Porthmadog stay. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your great feedback - we're so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We'll look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much! This means a great deal to us as we put a lot of thought into how we decorate our properties. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and we’d love you to return soon. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your great review. We can’t wait to welcome you again for your next summer holiday. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much - we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We work hard to try and include as much as we can for a comfortable, self-catering stay, and we're so pleased we got this right for you. The pub in the village is a real welcome asset; and agree, that the shop in the village is somewhat limited for supplies. Takeaway deliveries are limited but there is one in town, Ochirly that will do home delivery. They have a website where you can order online although delivery can be slow in busier months. I'll amend the welcome pack to add this in for future guests. We'd love to welcome you again for your next stay, With our best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you for your feedback. We take a lot of pride in our many 4 and 5 star reviews so are disappointed that we didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion. We ask guests to let us know asap if there are issues (such as cleanliness) so it can be addressed quickly so have been unable to deal with these issues for you. The kitchen cupboards are cleaned thoroughly each month - yes, it is an older style kitchen, but still in great condition. A gardener visits monthly; your stay was in between visits and following a long period of hot weather. The garden furniture is portable so guests can position it to their own liking. We notify guests that it is oil fired heating (as is the whole village) but have never felt the need to photograph the oil tank. The kitchen roll was left by a previous guest, as was the dishwasher tablet (as its self catering, guests generally provide their own household items.) However, we do provided washing up liquid, cloth, bin bag, hand soap, shower toiletries, and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The tv is a modern (around 4 years old) SMART tv and is obviously colour. However, we have purchased a new WIFI tv which will be installed this week, to provide guests with a wider range of tv choices without the need for an aerial. We are sorry not to have met your expectations with our property. We do feel that we get it right for most people most of the time. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We hope to welcome you again in the future! Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your great review. It is a great area to enjoy the best that North Wales has to offer. We are delighted that you’ve already booked a return trip for next year! Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are planning to install French doors in the near future to replace the dining area window. However, the driveway and garden are fully enclosed to ensure dogs are safe when the main door is left open. The key to the lounge window is usually left in the handle - when we checked after you left, we found it had been left on the window sill behind an ornament. We’re sorry that this wasn’t obvious to you. It’s now back in the window handle for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. With best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The single mattresses have now all been replaced in the property. We hope that you enjoyed the beautiful area and will return to the area again in the future. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind feedback - we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Thank you for making us aware about the gate - we'll arrange for an adjustment to the latch as soon as we can. With best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind review - we love it when customers return, as it really helps us to know that we are getting it right. Can't wait to welcome you back next year! Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind review - we’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We calculated the distance to the beach as a walking distance (just over half a mile/approximately 10 mins walk), but you are right that it id a longer distance to drive. The beach access for cars is a little further away than the pedestrian route. It’s one of the few beaches where you are still able to drive on to the beach, which can be convenient for people. We have included a ‘short cut’ route to the beach for pedestrians in our welcome guide. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your review - it is much appreciated. Delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. We had considered putting a high chair in the property, but were concerned that it may prove difficult to keep hygienic. We will give it further consideration for the future though. Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind feedback - we are so pleased that you enjoyed your break in this beautiful part of the country. With best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your feedback - it means a great deal to us. We would love to welcome you and your family back to our home again. We have now added a full length mirror in the property. We leave the 'basics' in the property to ensure guests have what they need on arrival. With best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. We are delighted that you have enjoyed your stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back in the near future. With best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - we have been working hard to update the property and always look to respond to feedback where we can. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your holiday in this part of Wales - it is in a beautiful location. We are really pleased that you have returned to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback and we are glad that you had an enjoyable stay. Unfortunately the kettle issue wasn't passed on to us by Sykes so we were unaware - our apologies for this. It has now been replaced. The shower cubicle access is proving tricky for some, but it is a standard size. Whilst knocking out a wall may seem an ideal solution, this would be a huge expense and would take the property out of action for some time (we have regular bookings). We also feel that having a separate toilet and bathroom does suit guests with families well. The French doors have been recently removed from the lounge to enable a better use of the space in the property; the kitchen window is next to be replaced and this will be with a French door (hopefully during 2024). However, this week, new gates have been fitted to the driveway side of the house, meaning if they are closed, the driveway area will now be an additional enclosed space for dogs, which can be accessed easily from the main door. We are glad you found the bungalow clean and comfortable and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Jayne and John

Thank you so much for your kind feedback - it means a lot to us as we have been working hard to make changes and upgrades over this last year. It is a really beautiful part of the world and we are so glad that you'll be joining us again next year. (Thank you also for reporting the issue with the kettle - unfortunately this wasn't passed on to us by Sykes, so we will follow this up with them for future issues) Best wishes, Jayne and John

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Jayne and John

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the location of the bungalow, and found it clean and comfortable. We are always looking for ways to improve the customer's experience of the property and will take on board your comments. The area is very quiet and the property on a side road, so the lack of blinds has never been an issue for us (we spend several weeks in the property each year). We tend to draw the curtains when privacy is needed. Thank you, John and Jayne

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the property, as we work hard to ensure all of our guests have an enjoyable stay. PATIO DOOR HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A LARGE WINDOW. We provide cleaning equipment which is kept under the sink should guests need to use anything during their stay. The main wardrobe has additional cushions, DVD's and games and a fan - all of which we feel may be useful to guests during their stay. We can only apologise that this may not have been put back tidily. The WC would ideally have a wash basin - this is something we will look to add in the future, but the handbasin is just next door as shown in the photographs. The windows are mostly 'tilt and turn' style, with instructions of how to do this, as they may not be familiar to everyone. We have recently added lighting and trellis to the garden, which has garden furniture, a parasol and is secure for those with children or dogs. The pictures of the garden are accurate and reflect that it is a suntrap and it is very difficult to grow anything when we are not around to maintain the garden to a high standard. The garden has lovely views over the surrounding hillside and has a traditional Welsh slate wall which we feel is a particular feature. It is large, flat and secure which we feel suits the needs of many guests. Once again, we are sorry that you were disappointed with the first impression of the bungalow. We take on board all comments and change things where we can. I trust that you found the area to be welcoming and attractive and managed to enjoy some time on Black Rock Sands. Jayne an John

EDIT June 23 - we have now replaced the tv in the main bedroom with a new, SMART tv which we hope will be easier to operate. We have also added some lighting and trellis to the garden which we feel makes the space more attractive. Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable stay at the bungalow and it met your needs well. We always try and respond to customer feedback, so thank you for your suggestions. We will look to replace the tv in the bedroom as soon as we are able to - we are limited for space in there but will aim to get something bigger that will fit in the space. We are due to visit the bungalow in the coming weeks for maintenance, so will look to pretty the garden up a little whilst we are there. We have always found the space to be functional and it works well for those with children and pets, but we recognise it could be prettier. Thank you again, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future

EDIT - THE PATIO DOOR HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH A LARGE PICTURE WINDOW. THE SHOWER HEAD HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED. We are happy that you returned to our property again (July 23) and had an improved experience. We take all feedback on board and are constantly working to improve things for our guests. . We hope you can join us again next year. Best wishes, Jayne and John

EDIT - THE PATIO DOOR HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH A LARGE PICTURE WINDOW. THE OLD GATE HAS BEEN REPLACED . Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the property. For clarity, the metal cleat in the driveway is a functional part of the gate -*The gate cleat has now been removed * The previous guests comments about her fall are being discussed/reviewed as they were factually inaccurate. As for the outside space, the garden is a suntrap and is exposed to a lot of sun for most of the day. We have tried to grow things in pots but without daily watering, this has been unsuccessful. The garden is hard landscaped (as per the photographs) and suits people with children and pets, due to it being flat and easy to clean. We need it to be low maintenance due to us not living nearby. We have considered the additional cost of employing a gardener but this would make the cost of the property higher. We have always tried to ensure it's priced fairly to attract a wide range of potential guests. As for the shower - it is a standard size cubicle. A bigger shower cubicle would not fit in the space. We are glad that you enjoyed the lovely area - it is a very pretty place, that we hope you may visit again in the future. We have now added lighting and trellis to the garden which we feel makes the space prettier.

EDIT - THE PROPERTY HAS UNDERGONE A PROGRAMME OF UPDATING, INCLUDING THE LOUNGE AND KITCHEN, GARDEN, LOUNGE WINDOW AND RIVEWAY GATES. IT NOW HAS A DISHWASHER, AIRFRYER AND TASSIMO MACHINE. Many thanks for your feedback - we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. As mentioned in the Welcome folder, we are in the process of updating some areas within the bungalow, including replacing a window and adding a dishwasher. This can be tricky to schedule due to the frequency of bookings. We decided to keep the property neutral and bright to appeal to the widest possible market, which we feel is reflected in the photographs. The tv is a SMART tv so allows for Netflix etc, plus customers use of NOW tv account so we only have the basic Sky package in the house. Whilst the Sky box is an older model, it is functional should you wish to watch the Sky channels. We do hope to welcome you back to our home in the future

Many thanks for your feedback on our home - we are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Porthmadog, and look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

As mentioned in the Welcome folder, we are in the process of updating some areas within the bungalow, including replacing a window and adding a dishwasher. This can be tricky to schedule due to the frequency of bookings. The garden is low maintenance to allow for dog guests, and also to keep it manageable through the season. It's a wonderful suntrap in the summer months. We decided to keep the property neutral and bright to appeal to the widest possible market, which we feel is reflected in the photographs. The cooker is freestanding, but in perfect working order as you mentioned - we have never felt the need to replace it so far as it works so well. We do hope to welcome you back to our home in the future .

Thank you so much for your kind feedback - we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay in North Wales. We do not provide towels, except for the bath mat, which should have been at the property. Our apologies for this - we will contact the cleaning company to ensure they are replaced with each clean. As for the grill pan handle, there should be one in the kitchen drawer. We will endeavour to locate/replace it as soon as we can. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope you choose our home again in the future.
