  I have had an enjoyable weeks stay in Cornhill Courtyard which is a studio apartment.

  The location of the apartment is superb. It is situated in the old historic area of Porthmadog Harbour and has a wonderful view straight out over the beautiful harbour which you couldn’t better! I also really liked the fact that the large main room is so light, bright and spacious. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were also fine. Once the sofa bed was up with the topper on top it was very comfortable . However, I did have some issues with the sofa bed. I was staying in the property on my own and as a 75-year-old woman with an arthritic hip, I did find it quite a struggle at times getting the bed up and putting it away. On one occasion the fabric loops got trapped inside and it then became impossible to get it out or put it up on my own. However the owner was extremely responsive and arranged within a couple of hours for the cleaning company to come and sort it out which they did. It needed two men to lift out the mattress extension in order to release the fabric flaps. I had felt concerned about the parking situation in August. However, in the event I was able to park right outside the apartment on three occasions and very close by on the other four days. From 4:30 pm onwards Porthmadog gradually quieten down and plenty of free parking then becomes available. Security of the property is very good as there is a padlocked gate into a small courtyard. Despite the issues with the sofa bed I am very glad I stayed in the property, as I had a very enjoyable weeks holiday. It was lovely to revisit Porthmadog, which I had visited a lot as a teenager and young person, when my parents had a caravan in the area.

  A lovely apartment, and well-located.

  However, although it appeared clean on the surface, it was in need of a little TLC. The sofa bed was dirty and smelled, we slept on that. The curtains were difficult to open/closed, and the privacy blinds didn't work well. The tiles in the bathroom/shower are in need of a good cleaning, and the pull cords were filthy, and quite unhygienic. There were plenty of cobwebs above head height around the apartment, and areas behind and underneath furniture were full of dust and hair. There was a lack of cleaning materials and products for us to maintain a high level whilst we were there. the outside furniture that you mentioned was old, rotten and broken. this is dangerous and needs to be replaced. However, the apartment was comfortable and the facilities were as advertised. we had a great time, but I believe that the owner should look at the poor cleaning delivered by an independent cleaning company. All of your properties we have stayed in previously have been well-cleaned by the owners and we have had no complaints on this level before. This was not the best holiday let we have had with you, but only down to the cleanliness and TLC it is lacking.

  The location is stunning and has great beach access.

  Fantastic views! The flat had everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped and was very clean. The bathroom is modern and was very clean. Plenty of towels. The roof in the living room leaked when it rained not only during the storm. The carpet in the dining area is in need of cleaning/replacing The hot tub was great especially at night with clear skies. Temperature was controlled by the owner and it was on the cool side. Both the double mattresses are in need of replacing. It was lovely to hear the sea at night when going to sleep and on waking! The steps up to the flat can be slippy when wet and need grip plates on them. We had a great time with local walks and time on the beach/painting from the patio. Caernarfon airport is great for lunch or coffee. Airport museum good to!

  The cottage has a lovely location and waking up to the view of the harbour and its boats was a really nice start to the day.

  However, we thought the accommodation had some shortcomings; the main one being the sofa bed (see tripadvisor). It wasn’t particularly comfortable or easy enough to erect every night and so we left it as a bed during the day. However, that meant there was nowhere to sit with a comfortable back-rest. We felt that with a better layout, for example, if the TV was wall mounted then a wardrobe could be fitted into the space created. A standard double bed could be used and a comfortable small two seater settee or equivalent could be accommodated, especially if the patio style table and chairs was replaced with a drop leaf table with higher back chairs. Some pictures on the wall wouldn't go amiss!

  It’s the second time we’ve stayed here and sadly we won’t be staying again.

  Positives are the location you can’t get better however it ended there for us. On first impression it looks clean however once in we started am-unpacking and found underwear in the draws which makes me think the property wasn’t cleaned properly, mouldy rotten fruit in the mop bucket, the vacuum doesn’t suck up the filter is blocked it was the same 2 years ago. The bathroom sick leaks again this was like this two years ago. No forks so we had to go and buy some. The garden furniture is broken. The sofa bed is dirty needs replacing as the cushions have completely lost all firmness. It’s such a shame because all of these things could easily be fixed just needs a bit of TLC.
