Guests say
Glyn Morfa is a well-loved cottage praised for its spaciousness, cosy atmosphere, and stunning views. Guests appreciate the secure garden, especially those with pets, and the property's proximity to beautiful beaches and local attractions. The welcome pack on arrival adds a homely touch, and the games room is a bonus for entertainment.
The property generally maintains a good standard of cleanliness, though some guests have noted issues with dampness and the need for deeper cleaning in certain areas. The presence of ants and a mouldy smell in some rooms have been mentioned, suggesting room for improvement.
The cottage boasts a fantastic location with beautiful destinations a short drive away, proximity to Harlech beach and castle, and scenic views. However, some guests noted the busy adjacent road and lack of safe pedestrian access to local amenities.
Many guests find the cottage comfortable, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. However, some guests reported issues with the size of beds in smaller rooms and the temperature control within the property.
The property is generally well-equipped, but several guests have reported maintenance issues such as loose taps, lack of oven gloves, and problems with the showers. The games room, while a valued feature, has been described as needing refurbishment and better upkeep.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the welcome pack, including items such as wine and Welsh cakes, there is insufficient information to determine if such gestures are consistent across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that future guests will receive similar gifts.

Included was a lovely welcome pack. The rooms are spacious. And well set out. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 1 teenager and 3 dogs. The games room I think itâs fair to say it needs heating in there and updating, The property is pet friendly with a enclosed garden. a nice touch with the basket of dog blankets to use for the sofas. Our only other suggestion which we found only due to needs of our group of 3 disabilities would be to have grip railings in the bathrooms to aid with getting in and out of shower and bath. we would highly recommend staying at Glen Morfa. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Did have a problem with chairs outside and inside being very worn. Left a message to owner, who replied the same day. Really beautiful area, and would highly recommend. We were a party of 7 and it was lovely being together inside and outside.
