  Excellent location and tastefully presented lodge, close to the adjoining Warren site where all the amenities are.

  Well equipped kitchen. Outside deck a lovely space. Didn’t use the barbecue but one was provided. Hot tub was also very good. Negatives: TV was a big issue for us as there was no terrestrial TV in the lounge and that was when we could connect with the site Wi-Fi, which was off more than it was on. We spent far too much time trying to sort this and on calls to Sykes who didn’t have the answers to resolve the issues, although they were helpful and kept us informed, to no avail though. Radio provided but that depended on Wi-Fi too it seemed as that kept cutting out. No instructions for any equipment, particularly the TV/Wi-Fi, hot tub, washer/dryer. This would have helped greatly. We noticed the shed behind the lodge was unlocked and we were unable to lock it and worried about the safety of the contents. No one at the site office to ask during our stay. Cleanliness was poor in the lounge and bedrooms, specifically the sofas which we found to have crushed biscuits under the cushions. None of the furniture had been moved to clean behind or under, In the bedrooms there were biscuits behind the bedside cabinets and thick dust on furniture and skirtings. Post covid particularly I expected a clean lodge would be essential. Bathrooms, towels, bed linen all very clean. En-suite toilet was cracked with a loose lid. The style and location of this lodge are its selling points and I would recommend it. We would book again provided the negatives noted were rectified.

  Lovely property apart from no WiFi all weekend with three teenagers!

  !! Property was lovely, newly done out with high quality fittings, thoughtfully decorated and well considered, spacious and comfortable for a lodge and spotlessly clean. Hot tub was running when we got there on large decked area and remained at a pleasant consistent temperature of 35 degrees. The property is located at the top of a hill and is very peaceful on top of a hill. As you walk or drive down the hill there are some stunning views of the Llyn Pennisula. Everyone happy with the property until the realisation that the WiFi advertised in the brochure and on the sign up to the property was none existent within the property and only accessed down the dirt path leading up to it. As 50 somethings we were okay with this but definitely an issue for three teenagers who had been told would have WiFi as advertised. We tried to contact the owners on the numbers provided and were unable to the first night then told the owners were away and given another number but still no response so had no WiFi for the whole weekend If you are ok with no WiFi I would recommend the property itself which as I said is really lovely and in a great spot to explore the beautiful Llyn but if this is something that is important to members of the group would unfortunately say to reconsider.

  Fantastic Stay at Gorwel Cottage – Highly Recommended! We recently spent a wonderful week at Gorwel Cottage in Wales, and it was the perfect getaway for our family, including my partner, two teenagers, my parents, and our two dogs. The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is simply stunning, with breathtaking sea views that made every morning special. The secure garden was a huge plus, especially for the dogs, who had plenty of space to run around safely. The hot tub was a wonderful touch – a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. Inside, the cottage was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for a self-catering stay. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed to prepare meals, and the living spaces were spacious, clean, and comfortable for our whole family. We felt right at home. The surrounding area was peaceful, with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor activities. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and the cottage provided a warm, welcoming base for our family. We all agreed that our stay at Gorwel Cottage was excellent, and we’re already talking about returning. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views!

  Appreciate it was an old gate house lodge but every room had a small family of cellar spiders living in it, these do not appear overnight, for example 6 x 5cm ones in one bedroom alone, which was fun trying to explain to the 6yr old it was OK to sleep in there. I'd suggest the property had not been "properly" cleaned for a while. The gardens were overgrown and untidy I had to clear up all the leaves before we could use the patio or bbq area. It was obvious no prep had been done before our arrival. But hey the gardener turned up on the last day around 830ish to clean it all and cut it back and lawns etc during our usage time not changeover which was a surprise whilst standing in my pants getting ready looking out the bug full length window. Oddly zero property information at the lodge just a laminated sign on the bed telling you to remove bedding at end of stay, no information on hot tub instructions or usage, not sure if the hot tub was serviced with chemicals during the stay, something I check after each use at home, bit odd for a week. All above a shame really otherwise it would have been perfect. Lovely place and location and well equipped.

  We are familiar with the lodge as we stayed at The Orchard for several years prior to it being sold .

  The accommodation afforded by the lodge was ideal for two adults and our big. Anymore and I think it would have felt crowded . Just couple of negatives there is no cupboard available to put food in eg tins of tomatoes soup cereal boxes as all cupboards filled with cooking utensils . Some of the towels had seen better days never didn’t use had what doorsteps to be hair dye staining. On stripping the bed the duvet was stained and had seen better days. We replaced the batteries in the tv remote . Would be an idea to have some in a drawer for such an event. Location of the fuse box needs to be made to future residents as we had a trip in the electric the first morning and struggled to find it . I had to phone Annette the management lady . Apart from niggles we had a good week but think the fencing around the lodge needs replacing as it’s rotting in parts . The gate drive has a panel of roof missing leaving a hole hence making garden not dog proof. A stray dog appeared on the lawn which was shooed off but managed to leave a present in the drive !!!!
