  • "The apartment is well equipped and was comfortable."

    There are a couple of maintenance issues which need dealing with. The view from the terrace area is not impressive - a road and a large pair of wooden doors on the opposite garage. Compared to the cottage we stayed in the following week there seemed to be a slight lack of soul about the holiday which I cannot exactly pinpoint. I would recommend the apartment to future guests but we are unlikely to visit again.

    Thank you for your feedback and we will rectify any maintenance issues although you have not detailed any on here or in our housekeeping book, the “unimpressive view” is in fact an elderly fisherman’s business where he fixes nets and Lobster pots by hand and explains his craft to anyone who is interested, as Morfa Nefyn is a fishing village we thinks this adds to the experience rather than just “spoils the view” Property Owner

  • "This is a very spacious very well equipped and well furnished apartment we would certainly recommend."

    It is in a nice area within a very short walk to the beach. Phone signal and wi fi good. The only problem was the shower ran cold if you adjusted the temperature or taps were turned on in the kitchen. If we return to the area we try to secure this apartment again

  • "Y Gyfrinach is a lovely property It is very clean, very spacious, comfortable, and very relaxing."

    There is a nice seating outside with a very useful dog parking hook. It is only a 5 min walk to the beach and lies in a beautiful area. This was our 2nd time here and can't wait to come again

  • "September 2024 The place was very clean, nicely decorated and furnished and it was a pleasure to return each evening."

    The place was very well equipped except for the bathroom. The towels were bath towels which only just went round a size 10-12 body. Also the towels did not dry from one day to the next, damp still on second day. I had to buy a cheap bath sheet for comfort and to give given towels a chance to dry. We had the electric fire on each evening to dry the towels and provide some off set for the colder bedrooms. There was condensation on the bedroom windows in the morning. The instructions for the central heating were available but we were unable to get the CH running and it seemed a waste of energy in September. The laundrette at the local garage was the recommendation for drying washed clothes - not at all suitable for everyday damp towels. Next visit I would take a portable dryer and heater.

    As you will recall I spoke to you as you were leaving asking you if you’d enjoyed your stay and wishing you a safe and pleasant journey back to the south coast and you had absolutely no complaints, heating works fine when temperature on the thermostat is raised to the desired level, we will however invest in some larger towels Property Owner

  • "I did find the use of technology rather challenging."

    It took a while to fathom the tv in the main room and I never did get the tv in the master bedroom to switch on. Also the white zapper to operate the bedside lights was nowhere to be found. Apart from that a very enjoyable stay.

    Thank you for your valuable feedback on reading this in our house book we checked the bedroom tv and found it had been switched off at the plug behind the wardrobe (the previous guest must have been distracted by the stand by light) the bedside lights are now touch control so we will change this in the book and add the tv to the checklist. Kind Regards Steve and Trish Property Owner

    The accommodation was excellent, well equipped, clean, and very suitable for our requirements. We invited two family members, who live less than half a mile away, and they were impressed. If/when, we are able to come again we will not hesitate to book Y Gryfynach. Thankyou.

  • "Lovely property."

    Very very spacious, clean and comfortable. It was great to sit outside and watch the world go by (to the beach) as well as being only a couple of minutes walk to the beach and a shop. Parking was not an issue* but it would have been nice to have a designated space * I think we were lucky as some apartments appeared to abuse the 1 space rule

  • "Enjoyed our stay."

    The property was spacious and suited us perfectly as we required ground floor accommodation. Everything needed in a kitchen was provided and all appliances you are likely to need. Problem with TV reception was solved promptly by the owner within an hour. The spaciousness and light in the main living area was especially enjoyable and we loved sitting out in the front in the mornings and in the back in the afternoons.

  • "A wonderful property with a great location near to beach, shop and pub and coastal walks."

    Modern and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen with everything you need. Both bedrooms have plenty of space and were comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. The owners have really put a lot of thought into providing a home from home. The only minor negative was the floors could have done with a mop. Definitely would stay here again.

  • "Excellent. We had no need to contact the owners about any problems."

    The fire controls were difficult to work. We couldn’t get the actual heat to operate but the central heating was fine so there was no problem. The TV controls were a bit complicated but that was probably as much us as anything although we couldn’t get into Netflix as we didn’t have the password. However these are very minor matters and we will certainly return to this particular apartment again.

    Hi we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again some time, regarding the fire it is thermostatically controlled so if the central heating is above the setting of the fire it will not provide additional heat (we think this is a good feature in this energy crisis) we leave Netflix active but point out in the welcome book that if previous guests have logged out we can’t leave our password as every one would be watching free Netflix at home.

    Perfect for walking to everywhere we need (beach, shop, pub, lovely walks) and fab water pressure for showers. We had a great week. A few things that could do with updating were: the bed in the master bedroom felt like it dipped on one side and clunked when you got on it, the bin in the kitchen was broken, dining room chairs lost padding and need replacing, scatter cushions covers need a wash. Other than the bed which does need looking at the rest were small things that didn’t take away too much from our stay.

    The secure lawned area at the back was a bonus, our dog loved running round on it! My only issue was the 'first come, first served' parking. There is a big sign saying one parking space per apartment, not sure if everyone followed this or perhaps visitors to Morfa Nefyn took advantage of the free parking at the development. Apart from the parking issue, (which may not be a problem at other times) we had a lovely stay and I would highly recommend this apartment.
