Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the Harlech Apartments - Matholwch for its cleanliness, stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and the bonus of a castle pass. The location is praised for its proximity to attractions and the beach, although some guests noted limited dining options in the area. While the apartment is well-regarded for its high standards, there are mentions of minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements in facilities.
The property is frequently described as spotlessly clean upon arrival, with several guests highlighting the cleanliness as a priority. However, there are isolated comments about a rug not being suitable and minor issues like mould in the bathroom, which slightly affect the score.
The location is highly praised for its views of Harlech Castle and proximity to local attractions, including the beach. The availability of a castle pass is a recurring positive point. Some guests mentioned limited local dining options, but this does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests find the apartment comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and a great shower mentioned frequently. The peacefulness and quietness also contribute to the comfort. Some guests noted the lack of plug sockets and issues with the heating system, which slightly lowers the score.
The high-end appliances and quality of furnishings are appreciated, but there are several comments about inadequate cooking equipment, broken can openers, and a lack of preparation space. Maintenance issues like non-working towel rails and a lack of clear instructions for appliances suggest room for improvement.
While some guests mention welcome gifts such as Bara Brith and Welsh cakes, there are not enough references to consistently assess the thoughtfulness of the host in terms of providing gifts. Therefore, this score is set to null, and it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

The staff at Menai Holidays were incredibly helpful when we had to move the date of our stay due to some unexpected events. We couldn't have been happier.

00pm. The property was filthy. Clearly not been cleaned. Bedding dirty and filthy towels on the floor. Contacted your office. Instead of correcting, cancelled our booking and offered us accommodation in Criceith, 40mins away, when we had travelled from Spain to be with other friends in Harlech. We found an overworked cleaner (pleasant, helpful lady) who responded, but not able to access our apartment until 5.30. Our evening ruined. You offered £50 compensation through a polite person Jesse, who stated the amount was no where near enough! We agreed but accepted after numerous phone calls and messages. YOU HAVE CREDITED £10.00. Hot weather, could not open a window in bedroom. Only 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels for the week. NO change of bed lined on offer. You showed no care or consideration for your customer or their needs. Only interested in procedure and box ticking. You are a disgrace ! Please refund the balance owed without further delay. Upon arrival, we met a couple from the Midlands leaving one day early because of numerous "issues" that had "taken" the gloss off their stay. Our friends apartment suffered with a terrible drain smell and a shower that would note turn off one evening. Congratulations. You could not have got it more wrong if you had tried. Jonny and Zoe Martin. Publish our full names should you wish.

General store has fantastic fresh baked bread, but get there early, as they sell out quickly. Highly recommend!
