Guests say
Guests are charmed by Eglwys St Cynfil, a unique and peaceful cottage with a blend of historical character and modern comfort. The surrounding wildlife and views are consistently praised, and the property serves as an excellent base for exploring the Llyn Peninsula. The tranquillity and privacy of the location, along with the well-equipped and clean interior, contribute to a delightful stay.
Most guests find the property clean and well-maintained, with fresh linen and fluffy towels provided. However, a few guests noted areas for improvement, such as dust, cobwebs, and kitchen cleanliness, which slightly impacts the overall high standard of cleanliness.

Guests report the property as comfortable, with a special mention of the cosy atmosphere and comfortable bedding. The unique charm of staying in a converted church adds to the comfort level, although light sleepers suggest the need for blinds to block out early morning light.
The property is well-equipped with modern amenities and the conversion is admired. Some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi and TV reception, and a few mentioned minor maintenance points, but overall, the facilities meet the needs of a holiday stay.
While many reviews express gratitude and appreciation for the property and its features, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be provided in this category.

Property is well equipped for self catering. We stayed a week for walking the coast and could not have picked a better place, quiet, clean and very quirky with private parking and outside space. Highly recommended.
