Lots of things can be done to improve future stays, please keep readingâ¦.. Positives - huge garden for our dogs; comfy beds; washing machine, tumble and dishwasher; doors to the garden from 3 different rooms; sun room / games room was great for the kids (some games and jigsaws in the cupboard too); washing line; dog bowls in the utility room; useful to read previous reviews, so we knew about low water pressure and the advice to use 1 shower at a time; large drive with plenty of space for multiple vehicles. Negatives - downstairs shower light is on a timer, requires shower door to open (mid shower!) to alert the sensor; upstairs bathroom floor is quite water damaged; there are only 8 forks in the kitchen, need many more; notices in the building and the website still refer to Covid conditions (we arrived to find there WAS an oven glove, and table tennis bats etc) so these notices really need updating; most of the seating in the kitchen and dining room is on wooden chairs / benches, with no cushion seats; checkin 6pm and checkout 9.30am felt harsh, considering a departure checklist included us to take all bedding off the beds, which felt a bit like we were doing some of the housekeeping; 2 linen bags for all the bedding and towels were not enough; bins and recycling are on the neighbouring campsite, except for glass. There was a box outside the back door, but no instructions on what to do when itâs full / when the glass collection is etc.

Kitchen and utility rooms very good indeed. Five bedrooms - all used! Enough rooms downstairs for family members to hide away to read. Peaceful garden with well appointed furniture. Nearby Criccieth is a delight, as was Portmeirion and Caernarvon. Supermarkets not far away in Portmadog. Only downside was having to leave at 9.30 am., which seemed rather early.

Lots of room for our party of 6 adults, 3 children and the dogs. Great space in the garden for the children to run and play! Comfortable beds. Water pressure not great, we found just using one shower at a time worked best. Considering the property holds 9 guests, more cutlery and plates etc. would have been helpful. The only real issue for us was the late check in time, yes we did know this when we booked the cottage, so maybe that's on us. It probably wouldn't stop us from booking again as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
