Guests have found the beds very comfortable and the living spaces spacious and relaxing. A non-working radiator in one bedroom has been mentioned, which suggests a slight room for improvement in comfort.
The property is well-regarded for its facilities, with a special mention of a thoughtful welcome pack. However, a few guests noted the absence of a tin opener and a sweeping brush, and one mentioned poor TV reception, indicating some room for enhancement in facilities and maintenance.

Everything we needed was there. We couldn't fault it at all. Thank you very much. We had a wonderful holiday and Y Felinhelli is a great base for travelling over to Anglesey and accessing North Wales. Thanks again!

Great base to explore Anglesey and the Mountains as well. The house had everything we needed - amazing views from the balcony, comfy beds and great showers. We really didn't want to leave!
