  Outstanding.

  This home is absolutely outstanding in every way. It has been furnished to such a high standard, that it is almost insanity that the owners let anyone stay here at all. I wouldn't even invite my friends around. Fortunately they are clearly more generous of spirit than me. Every room is an utter delight to be in: The kitchen is any chef's dream, with every appliance and service I've ever dreamed of and a few we now must have; we never wanted to get out of the sublime beds with their incredibly soft linen and weighty duvets; the bunks and books in the childrens' playroom or nursery made me want to be and a child again; the bathrooms are all palaces with wonderfully deep baths, large showers, luxurious towels, toiletries, and charmingly beachy decor; and the outside is a haven (book the hot tub).The thought that they have put into even the smallest details is humbling. The artwork and fixtures are enchanting. All of their recommendations for walks and eateries were excellent - the Stores café at the end of the road was a joy, the Rock Inn for Sunday lunch is the perfect local with hearty food and great beer, the beaches at both Croyde and Saunton are achingly beautiful. The owners have achieved something truly special here and I can't recommend it enough. It should be double the price and you really should have to provide references before being allowed to stay! Book quickly before they come to their senses. I was expecting something great, but this home exceeded anything I could imagine, let alone expect. I have run out of superlatives, but thank you again for sharing this all with us.

  We took the apartment as an alternative because Sykes cancelled our original booking in Porthmadog the day before we were to take possession of it for a week.

  You provided three alternatives, none of which were in Porthmadog. This particular apartment was some 30 minutes drive away. There was a beach in LLanbedrog 12 minutes walk away and 45 minute uphill walk back! Quite a trek carrying beach equipment! Lovely on the one sunny day we had though. I don’t like to have to drive when on holiday but was forced to as we wanted to visit Portmeirion a short walk from Porthmadog. The property itself was an attic conversation. It was very nicely done with plenty of room and comfortable beds. The TV was much too complicated! All we wanted to do was turn it on without fiddling with several remotes. Three flights of stairs kept us fit I suppose! We didn’t use the en-suite, or at least only in an emergency, as the macerator toilet was scary! The main bathroom had a dream of a drench shower, however and a beautifully deep bath. We needed a step ladder to operate the windows and happily found one in a cupboard. On arrival storm Betty was raging and the roof windows had been left open, so we had a bit of a flood to clean up and seating to dry with a couple of hair dryers. Also the kitchen tap leaks unless it is turned to cold when shut off - another flood to clean up! Walking was nice to Abersoch and to Pwllheli but taxis back were very expensive, £15 for 4 miles, and hard to come by. We tended to travel to Pwllheli where we could get a train to travel to Barmouth and beyond, so all was not lost.

  Albury house was to allow the gathering for the celebration by family(8) of a 70th birthday! It did not disappoint. All very straight forward by Dorset Hideaways to secure for our time. The house and gardens all very spacious as is the parking for easily for 4 cars, which we needed. The generous welcome pack allow us to get off to a good start, tea and cake all round. Blessed with sunshine the trampoline and full size quality table tennis table and kit came into their own for the young, and young at heart, leading to the need for a trophy. Full use also made patio and garden furniture as garden also gets its fair amount of sun. Entertainment in the house also well catered for given our mixed ages. Tech savvy persons an advantage from older(74) point of view. Team work enabled full English breakfasts to be produced from the Aga and conventional cooker. The Royal Oak pub across the road from the house needs a mention, did us proud(11), Saturday evening and Sunday lunch, need to book early, as great food good value and the "Team" for attentive service. Midweek too.

  Perfect

  We stayed over Easter weekend and enjoyed Croyde and the surrounding areas immensely. There are some stunning coastal walks right on the door step and the village is so quaint and picture perfect. Where to begin with the cottage!! I don't think I have ever stayed anywhere quite so perfect ! the attention to detail in this cottage is amazing. Every creature comfort has been thought about so carefully the bathrooms are stunning, the sheets are so soft and I just love the shells that have been carefully sown onto the edge of all of the binds and curtains. The outside court yard at the back of the house is great for outdoor cooking and we enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub after a long coastal walk. I would love to stay here again and can't recommend it enough!
