"This outstanding property is in a quiet road within 400 yards of the beach and easy walking distance of a range of restaurants and shops. The house is FULLY equipped for adults and children and offers superb views across the bay and the castle. It is more than large enough for the 10 beds and is furnished and decorated to an exceptionally high standard for a rental property. There were plenty of toys hidden in the cupboards for the younger members, with books, CD's and several TVs for the adults. The garage proved to be a a treasure trove of larger toys. The kitchen was fully equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, full size fridge with a freezer in the garage. More than enough crockery and kitchen utensils for 10 people. Simple discrete and appropriate notices around the house make moving in easy. Fair internet access 23Mb/s down - 0.2Mb/s upload wifi is available throughout the house from the router in the entrance hall. Easy access parking for 3-4 cars was a significant feature of the property in a town with crowded parking at peak periods. The nearby train line was not a problem with infrequent and relatively quiet trains. The Blue China Tea Room / associated restaurant next door and Poachers Restaurants proved helpful and flexible when dealing with our party of 10 offering customised gluten free options. Poachers (more expensive-reservations essential) was a special birthday event. 40 minutes to the Snowdon Railway and 30 minutes to the Rhyd-Ddu path give a range of options for a mountain climb!"

"The property is ideally situated in a very quiet road about 400 yards from the beach and within easy walking distance to shops and several restaurants. The garage was superbly equipped with toys for all ages! The sea view from the upstairs windows covering the estuary, sea, hills and castle was picture postcard material. The grandchildren were particularly enthusiastic about their bunk bed room with its nautical theme and unique lighting scheme. The house was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, full height fridge, and extra freezer in the garage. More than enough cutlery and dishes. The colourful and well maintained rear garden with its hot tub and lawn provided an excellent two level enclosed play or relaxation area Furnishings had been thoughtfully chosen and complemented with interesting lighting schemes. The single track railway line at the bottom of the garden was not a problem and never a noise nuisance. More than adequate parking for 3/4 cars. The main bedroom and with ensuite shower and bath provided a superb and large escape area for grandparents. Multiple televisions around the house were largely unused as there was too much to do! The house more than met its claim to be a ten person unit. We felt that this was a superb beautifully presented home where the owners had completed a total make-over and simply left it to us to enjoy."

"Maes Madog is like a little treasure trove! Location wise it is fantastic for exploring Snowdonia, albeit it is a very small, narrow, extremely steep hill you go up to get to the property (all part of the adventure). We had a Tesco delivery to supply us with all our food and drink for our visit. There are small Spar Supermarkets in the villages but you need to go to Porthmadog or Bangor to get to the bigger supermarkets. The rooms are lovely and spacious, yet cosy at the same time. Lots of period features including the original stove in the pool room, a wood burner, lovely wooden furniture in the bedrooms contrasted with modern kitchen and bathrooms. The hot tub was a super treat. I was adamant that visiting in February, we wouldn't me making use of it. Oh was I so wrong, I was the first one in there every night and the whole group of us used it each day. The kitchen has all the equipment you need to be able to stay in a cook evening meals for 8 and the dishwasher also meant breakfast dishes could be washed and ready for evening meals. Good size fridge freezer and the hob and oven were amazing - 4 gas rings, a griddle, a warmer, 2 ovens and a grill and a warming drawer for the plates! The only down side I would say is if you are above 5'3" be prepared to keep ducking your head to get through doorways. This is a 300 year old cottage, what do you expect!"

"Cottage was very lovely, Jayne was very welcoming and left use Welsh cakes, cream eggs and x2 bottles of prosecco. And not forgetting the lillies. The view around the property were stunning with little lambs running around playing :0) there was a resident cat who visited daily, he or she was very friendly so don’t forget to feed it and give him some love if you do visit. There was 8 of us, sitting around the television at night felt a little small for 8 but if you have a few small friends like we did then it shouldn’t feel too bad. The only downside was the log burner, although Jane was very accommadating and brought use logs and got logs delivered the next day, they were very wet so the fire never really got going, the heating only came on for several hours a day which left us quite cold. The whole cottage was clean and has all facilities to cook, the dish washer was a bonus. The hot tub was a treat and we didn’t really move from there. Fresh towels were given to all 8 people which was nice. Over all the place is gorgeous would definitely go again, only be more prepared and bring my on logs which I can get going and perhaps for a longer period to enjoy some of the walks we didn’t get to go on due to the weather Thank you so much for a lovely stay"
