Guests say

Anchors Rest in Y Felinheli is a well-renovated cottage praised for its cleanliness, high-standard refurbishment, and comfortable living space. Guests enjoyed the proximity to Snowdonia and local amenities, though some noted the bathroom size could be limiting for larger groups. The balcony and quiet location were highlights, despite some comments on the surrounding properties. Guests appreciated the provided amenities, but suggested that a few additional items would make for a perfect self-catering experience.

Guests consistently noted the property was clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The property's location is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to Snowdonia and local attractions, though some guests felt the surrounding properties detracted slightly from the experience.

The property is generally found to be comfortable, especially the living area and balcony. However, concerns about the bathroom size and seating for larger groups slightly affect the comfort score.

The property is equipped with quality utensils and appliances, but feedback suggests that additional items like a bread knife and more bath towels would enhance the facilities. The mention of a missing coffee maker also impacts this score.

While guests appreciated small touches like dishwasher tabs and soap, there were no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it's not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

    Weather was a bit dodgy but this didn't matter when we were so comfortable. It's great to have Swellies/La Marina so close for a bite out. And the pub on the waterfront is perfect. Some of us managed a high tide dip from the slipway. We went in all directions and had a very pleasant holiday. Here's what we liked that was provided: Some dishwasher tabs. Washing up liquid (not always in holiday houses). Teabags. Soap. Here's what we found slightly annoying: No pint of milk when we arrived very tired and grumpy after a long, traffic-laden drive. So black tea only. Only one toilet. It might get awkward if there were 6 staying. No information about the local Londis (10 min walk on main street). No cafetière. The Nespresso type coffee machine had only one coffee pod provided. Two milk but no use without the coffee! We wouldn't know where to get more. No bread knife (really annoying if you get decent bread). No washing tabs or liquid/powder. Just a couple would be nice. If you're intending to cook you need to bring: wooden spoon/spatula for the non-stick pan. (There is a plastic slice thingy) Easy enough to get. We like a boiled egg. Bring some egg cups if you do too. A pasta fork. Salt/pepper etc I'm sure everyone can do their search for the Londis store, but the other things, though small, do let it down from being perfect to being good. This is meant to be a place for self catering, so there need to be the things there to do that. As for the milk, this is a detail that most places include now. It's 50p and makes such a comforting difference when you've come a long way. I hope this doesn't sound too much like whinging: we loved Anchor's Rest - it's a lovely layout, it's very comfortable and the balcony is great, plus the open aspect at the back. It's also very well located to visit a wide range of places.
