There are plenty of idyllic locations along the peninsula, including hikes to the Tre'r Ceiri Hillfort, Nefyn, Aberdaron, and the surfing haven of Abersoch, not far from the breath-taking Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth) and the National Trust's Plas yn Rhiw, a 16th-century Georgian house. Pwllheli with its popular beach and Criccieth are also within reach, a must for historians hoping to explore Castell Criccieth, as well as the renowned Bron Eifion Fishing Lakes for coarse fishing.

A kettle that stopped working was replaced in a matter of hours. A serious plumbing problem likewise was dealt with swiftly with no inconvenience to ourselves. Iâve stayed in many holiday cottages and have never known issues to be dealt with so quickly. Thank you.

What let it down was the firststairs case and second staircase they were stepper than expected. The bathroom was very small. And dated. Every morning we were woken to the buses going up the street from the bus depot at the bottom of road around 6.30am. The parking is not properly explained. Unable to park near property and was told there was parking for us at the community pub but when asked at the pub they knew nothing about it. When we got parked near to house we had difficulty get out because they parked there cars very near. The worst was on coming back from one of our days out and realising the property had been entered without our knowledge or permission it was very disturbing to us.

One of the adult guests sustained several bruises to her legs during the weeks stay and her husband stumbled down them. We thought the property had 2 bathrooms and that was the main reason we choose Penman House over something else close by, but we quickly discovered the 2nd bathroom is actually a downstairs WC with sink! The front door looks like it hasnât been cleaned down in several months, maybe longer, together with the overgrown plant at the front and recycling boxes full from the previous guests, arriving at the property last Saturday was a little disappointing. The bed linen was good, as was the kitchen and generally the rest of the house was surface clean, but the bathroom needs to be done better particularly the blinds and outside around the toilet pan. Cleaning the outside of the front windows once a month would certainly lift the property too. The cushions in the lounge leaked feathers every evening. Parking was fine during our stay, which was something we had concerns about before arriving. Whilst the house is small and a bit tricky for 2 families, itâs in a nice location for exploring north Wales and a lovely walk to local Trefor Beach. Overall score would probably be around 7 out of 10.
