Guests say
Guests consistently praise Dornberg for its stunning views, cleanliness, and comfortable furnishings. The property's location is ideal for exploring North Wales and Anglesey, with many appreciating the proximity to the marina and local cafes. The thoughtful touches, such as a welcoming bottle of wine and Welsh cakes, add to the charm of this well-equipped cottage. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction and a desire to return.
Reviewers frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean' and well-maintained, indicating high standards of cleanliness. The consistent praise in this area justifies a near-perfect score.
The location is highly commended for its amazing views and convenience as a base for exploring the surrounding areas. Its proximity to the marina and local attractions contributes to the high score.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of cosy bedrooms, good quality furnishings, and comfortable beds. However, some concerns about stairs for seniors slightly affect the score.
Facilities are generally praised, including the kitchen and entertainment options. However, the lack of some items like tea towels and an iron, as well as a note about a warm cupboard, suggests room for improvement.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful gestures such as the welcome treats, although it's important to note that such gifts are a kind bonus and may not be provided every time. The range of games and amenities also reflects considerate hosting.

Y Felinheli, formerly know as Port Dinorwic, is situated on the beautiful Menai Strait between the historic town of Caernarfon and the cathedral city of Bangor. Home to a small, established yachting marina with an interesting lock (allowing boats to enter or leave before cruising down the Straits to the open sea), this small village also has a couple of pubs, a restaurant and cafe in the dock area, a shop and Post Office, a beautician, a hairdresser and several great restaurants on the nearby Island of Anglesey. Visitors to this lovely region are spoilt for choice, with stunning Snowdonia, the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, or the sandy beaches of the Isle of Anglesey all within easy reach.
