Zubair

The Property is beautiful & close to the beach, The property was very clean & very spacious. however i think they should provide us with hand soap in every bathroom as only 1 bathroom had a hand soap, Also we stayed for 3 Nights but loo rolls was only provided for 1 night. Apart from that everything else was spot on. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place, lovely views. Clean, spacious and would definitely use again. Small thing but would have loved a dish cloth rather than just a handled brush and that's not a very good tool for cleaning glasses and cutlery. Would have also loved some paper towel or something to wipe down the kitchen surfaces. Small things though, ultimately was a great stay.

What a stunning place to stay, perfect location and very comfortable, spacious rooms. The only thing I would mark it down for is lack of welcome pack, no dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, kitchen roll or starter pack for the log burner which would have made it all the better and for the price we paid I think thats a reasonable expectation. We would definately return though

Dawn Elizabeth

The accommodation is in a good location and we were lucky the ground floor apartment was not being used so we had ample parking. The open plan kichen, dining and lounge area is a great space for socialising as a large group. We used the hot tub once but access is via a grassunavoidable muddy area and is far from ideal. There should be a suitable route made to access the hot tub, with either concrete flags or loose stone. This is a low cost improvement that would reduce the risk of occupants walking back into the property with wetmuddy footwear. The towels provided were small bath towels and not great. Also the kitchen could do with some large serving dishes. However, having referred to some improvements above, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Stephen

Lovely property with a great view despite the petrol station! and fantastic location, easy walk down a lane opposite the house to the railway, castle and town centre. For the price we felt there were quite a number of basics missing which would have made the stay perfect... not enough toilet rolls, hand soap provided but no toiletries not even shower gel in any of the bathrooms, nor any storage to keep your own toiletries etc either by the free standing sinks or in the showers. Bedrooms also lacked storage space. No dishwasher tablets. Also the directions are not accurate. You are told to drive to Henwalia, a tiny road, when the property is on South Road right opposite the petrol station, which isn't mentioned and is the obvious landmark!

The property is well maintained and smart. The flat was clean except the stairs from the door leading to the living area. Bathroom mats might be useful to have. The hot tub wasn't inviting.and also we didn't know where the light switch was. Tenants on the floor below us said that the light was on overnight, but we hadn't even gone into the hot tub area leave alone use it.

The apartment was lovely and the view from the top window was beautiful . Very accurate description on the site. Perfect place to stay. The kitchen could do with some extra mugs and a couple of serving dishes. We had to call maintenance for lounge tv, and the guy was amazing and turned up very quickly. The gate to the hot tub may have been better placed on the fence panel nearest the path to avoid the mud.

Robert

We all really enjoyed our stay in this property. Very nice apartment, bedrooms very spacious and the bathrooms are modern. The kitchen and living space is huge and makes a great place to hang out. It had all the necessary things to make food. I would introduce another bin in the kitchen for recycling. There's a cafeteria to make fresh coffee aswell. Thanks for a great apartment

Christine

Stayed for 2 night with my friends for me and my sister 50th birthday we had a ... Stayed for 2 night with my friends for me and my sister 50th birthday we had a great time highly recommend its got everything you need and its 5mins to the town and tesco and McDonalds are 5 mins the other way

Great property and location, couple of maintenance issues left by previous guests but after a call to Simon in the office a maintenance man was on site fixing them within 20 minutes. Only one thing i would do for dogs or young children is put a gate both sides so they can use outside without getting out onto the main road, couple of hundred quid to make safety much better

This was a stunning place to stay for a few nights to visit snowdonia. The rooms were very spacious and the decoration was stunning throughout. Its very close to local amenities and the town and only a 15 minute drive to snowdonia parking. Some minor negatives, water pressure dropped when everyone was trying to use the showers to be expected given there are 4 bathrooms, there was limited toilet paper one roll per bathroom and no spares, washing up liquid and bin bags so we had to buy our own very minor but overall a very nice place to stay and i would highly recommend

Beautiful property, loved every minute of it, log burner is a wow factor, especially since it rained lots! Would recommend the property! Love it family of 6 all adults and our small dog! Downside there was a smell of drains for a couple of days this passed and then another smell which was disturbing, not sure where it was coming from. I would suggest a mop etc be at the property so we can mop the floor etc.

Wow, this property was everything we could of hoped for. We stayed at the penthouse for a 50th birthday celebration and had a wonderful time. It was luxurious, clean, beds were huge and the hot tub was just what we needed after a walk up Snowdon, the views from the apartment where lovely. We had everything we could have needed and the log burner was a bonus. The host was fab, great communication and gave us recommendations of places to eat. I would highly recommend this property, thank you for a wonderful stay.

Trevor

Location, cleanliness, comfort and facilities are first rate and when we reported a fault with one of the bedroom showers it was fixed the next day. For the high standard of the Penthouse we were really surprised it did not have a cafetire especially as past customers had previously left the same comment. This is a minor issue and would not hesitate to book it again.

Beautiful property. Very modern with a historic twist with the back wall of the property. Very spacious and clean We will definitely stay again

Lovely property. It was perfect for us 4 couples Very clean, bright and light. Great open plan kitchendining arealiving room makes it very social. Property is in great location. Walking distance into Caenarfon advise prebooking for any restaurants and easy access to Llanberis for walking up Snowdon very busy as well as the rest of North Wales. We would be very happy to return.

Excellent accommodation, finished to a high standard, not sure the pictures really do it justice. Location is perfect for visits to the castle and highland railway. The kitchen was well equipped but I also agree that it would have been nice to have a coffee machine and some oven dishes would also be a good addition. Would happily stay there again, thanks.

Momtaj

Very happy with the cottage little request in future hot tub time later would be nice, little toiletries would be nice post code doesn't take u directly to the house. Fan would have been nice. Overall we really loved the decorations comfortably spent 2 nights definitely will come beck again

A beautiful property, really enjoyed our stay and would book again a few minor points for the owner would be. 1 Bathrobes or Bathsheets for when using the hot tub 2 An airer for drying towels 3 There was no wood, fire lighters or even matches for the log burner Again these are minor points and did not detract from how much we enjoyed our stay.

The place is great. The only con as previously mentioned in other reviews is lack of little things that makes the place feel real home and comfi. There are no hangers anywhere in the home for jackets and towels. No place to put your toiletries in the bedrooms or the bathrooms. Other great place.

Coffee maker of some description would have been appreciated maybe thats just an American perspective but I think not. Other than that and a slow clothes dryer 4 hours? no real issues. Enjoyed the balconies found the extension balconies especially cool. Might want to add few more pictures or wall art just to break up the austere whiteness Nice stay

The owner has provided everything to a truly high standard and has to be commended. An excellent property situated centrally and is highly rated by all of my family. Again all credit to the owner.

Daniel

Great location and very nice apartment which easily housed 8 of us comfortably. The rooms, living room, and bathrooms were spot on. Couldn't of asked for a better place to stay! Also walking distance to the castle and only 2030 minutes from major outdoor attractionsdestinations.

Lovely house just bit disappointed, a few essential items were missing. These could easily be remedied There was no toilet paper, there was no soap!!! The TVs only worked with BBC channel There was no coat hangers in the wardrobes And the bed sheets were not ironed, so badly creased there was no information at the house regarding WIFI or bin collection
