Unfortunately, couldn't use the oven and the hob at the same time to cook a a meal . Also struggled to to open the back door, but overall was a lovely holiday.

The property is basic but great value for the money. Location is great with a short walk to the beach and costal footpaths. The are one or two maintenance issues (eg. Toilet flush, garden areas around chalet) but nothing that would put us off going back. Maybe decor could be a bit less fussy but that's obviously the owners preference.

The facilities are rather basic but then that is reflected in the low cost of the rental. The chalet is surrounded by abundant shrubs & many different kinds of trees which all make the outlook from the chalet very pleasant indeed. The downside for me & my wife is that the chalet is only about 50 metres from the A499, the very busy main road connecting Pwllheli and Abersoch; we found the traffic noise early morning & early evening quite unpleasant. All in all, despite the above, the chalet's location makes it ideal for exploring this beautiful Peninsula. We thank the owners for being on-hand & helpful when needed.
