Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. Some guests found the cottage to be below expected standards, mentioning the presence of cobwebs, woodlice, and a general need for a deep clean. However, others have had satisfactory experiences, suggesting inconsistency in cleaning between stays.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to Barmouth and Dolgellau. Guests have enjoyed the seclusion, the woodland setting, and the convenience for exploring the area, despite some comments about traffic noise and difficulty in finding the property.
Comfort has been generally well-received, with guests finding the cottage spacious and the beds comfortable. However, there were remarks about uncomfortable lounge seating and a need for better quality mattresses and winter duvets, indicating room for improvement.
Facilities have been appreciated, such as the well-equipped kitchen and large bathroom. Nonetheless, there have been reports of maintenance issues like broken appliances and insufficient heating, which have impacted the overall experience.
Guests have mentioned thoughtful gestures like welcome gifts of scones, jam, butter, milk, and Bara Brith. While these have been well-received, it is important to note that such gifts are complimentary and may not be provided on every occasion.
