  The location of this cottage is great, and the layout, with all its facilities was as expected from the advert and reviews seen prior to booking.

  The property has its own quirks with some modern touches, we loved the wireless speaker lamp! In my view the the owners are very lucky to own such a special house. We enjoyed our stay so Thankyou very much for sharing this Gem with us. The house was tidy and clean although dusty, I had to find a duster and dust around the lounge particularly round the tv area. This may be because it was cleaned after the last guest, but not been used for some days/ weeks. Also my husband walked through a big cobwebs when he first went into the kitchen. When looking for a container with a lid in the kitchen I noticed the kitchen was well equipped and has everything you need. One thing I noticed, which I wasn’t pleased about was that a glass butter dish was stored away unwashed, I left this out on the last day to make sure the owners/ cleaners cleaned this. Other than the cobweb/some dust/ dirty butter dish ( bear in mind this didn’t impact our stay) our only other complain was that there was no pillow protectors used and our bed had 4 pillows but only two had covers, there were no spare pillow cases in the house, which didn’t help either. I was disappointed at this as I’m a very clean and hygienic person and considering the covid times pillows with no protective covers And Pillow cases isn’t good! The mattress in the main bedroom is uncomfortable, springy and the bed creeks a lot! You just need to sit on the bed to hear it creek. also in the other bedrooms the mattresses/ beds are not any better in terms of being more comfy. As this is a holiday let I would recommend the owners invest in some good mattresses, after all a good night sleep is sometimes all that is needed when holidaying away from home.

  A fantastic stay at Bwythyn y Mor which is comfortable, clean and has everything that you want.

  The home is bright and airy and had plenty of space for us as a family of four with an infant and two dogs. The beds were comfortable with plenty of storage space and tbe lounge was huge with two large sofas. The separate loo downstairs is a bonus and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for your stay and to cook for the whole family. Set in a perfect location, just a stones throw from the beach, with a lovely restaurant (which does a great breakfast) the location is fantastic and there is a lovely cut through walk into Porthmadog via the harbour. Unfortunately (and we don't get to say this often in this country) the weather was too hot so with the dogs and the little one we weren't able to do the coastal path walk to Black Rock Sands but we have heard it is well worth doing so will try to do on our next trip. The only thing I would say could do with upgrading at Bwythyn y Mor would be the patio area at the back could do with making bigger and the flags laying again as they move. Having dogs and a little one, if it perhaps had a small fence around the patio with a little gate, it would be a perfect area to relax and enjoy the outdoors. All in all we had a brilliant time and would definitely return to Bwythyn y Mor and recommend it to others.

  We could not recommend this property more highly!

  What a fabulous holiday home in a great location right by the harbour, less than 5 minutes walk from the High Street and with pubs and restaurants within a minutes walk. We had no problems with parking right outside the house and there are 2 carpark within 30 seconds walk from the house. The house is spotlessly clean and has been furnished to a high standard. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the lounge area is very comfortable and the games room on the first floor went down very well with our 11 year old and 14 year old giving them plenty to do and their own space. All beds were very comfortable with nice, super clean bedding. Plenty of storage too for clothes and for once a good amount of hangers! Loved the wireless charging bedside lamps in the huge master bedroom! Lovely clean bathroom with a huge walk in shower with plenty of hot water. The house was very warm with a good heating system and a good electric fire in the lounge. The communication from the owners was great both prior to our arrival and whilst we were staying. We appreciated the extra touches like the boxes of tissues, cleaning products in the kitchen, extra loo rolls, board games, videos & tourist info in the lounge side table. Thank you Mark & Nat, we will be back!

  We first visited this property 5 years ago.

  Nothing has changed since then except for a lovely new shower room. The rest of the property including the bedding looks tired and in need of refurbishing. No Toilet roll holder in downstairs toilet. Just a hole in the wall where it had fallen off. The front garden was overgrown so much that we were getting wet brushing against the hedge using the front door after it had rained. The owner did cut it down after our initial feedback submission but it was still too close to front door. A big problem with this property is the open garden. Many properties have enclosed the garden with a small picket fence. This should be an essential addition to the property as guests with small children and dogs cannot open the French doors into the garden when it’s hot and as it’s south facing and there are no other opening windows in lounge it can quickly become uncomfortably hot. It could be a lovely property in a lovely location. It was clean and there were lots of helpful items left in the property like hand wash, dishwasher tablets, dishcloths etc but it’s very much in need of a refurbishment,

  We had a lovely stay here.

  There was plenty of space for the four of us and the children loved the games room. The beds were comfortable and the living room was cosy for nights in. Being right by the harbour was the perfect location for crabbing and exploring. The only things we would say could be better were the cleanliness and the parking. It was clean on the surface but there was a used tissue under the bed, old bottles and a dusty sock under the sofas and the blinds in all the windows were filthy. There was also no dustbin or instructions for rubbish or recycling so we ended up with bin bags of rubbish just left in the kitchen which wasn't nice. That's why we only gave a 3 out of 5 for cleanliness. There was also no parking. Maybe it was because it was peak holiday time but every day we had to park a considerable distance from the house and then move the car to the house once all the day trippers had left. There was no parking within a 5 minute walk before about 6:00. But overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house.
