  We had booked both Rose Suite and Emerald Suite for our family.

  We were informed by email after we had left for the day on Tuesday that someone would be visiting Emerald Suite whilst we were out. The person also visited Rose suite, though we don't know why. They left both properties unlocked, leaving our valuables including phones, Nintendo Switch and jewellery unsecured. The bolts on the bathroom door are unsuitable for a property that is being let. Our seven year old locked herself in the bathroom and if it wasn't for the odd arrangement with the laundry room we would have had to break the door down to get her out. Her father was able to crawl through the from the laundry room and unlock the door. The electric meter in Emerald Suite began beeping in the middle of the night and kept my sister-in-law awake. The reason, it was nearly out of electricity and we had to call the owner to get it topped up the following day. Really not acceptable. The lock on the door to Emerald Suite failed and the door couldn't be opened from the inside. Fortunately we were able to slide the key under the door, open it from the outside and my husband made a repair to the lock. A screw had fallen out and had to be replaced. Again, not acceptable, where is the maintenance. The batteries ran out in the lock to the main front door on Friday 20th. Had we not had a family member still in the apartment we would have been completely locked out. There were only two batteries in the green basket in Rose Suite and none in the basket in Emerald Suite. So although we were able to get the lock working it was intermittent by Saturday morning. We left a note for the cleaner informing them the batteries to the front door needed replacing. The small stuff: The kitchen was well equipped but lacking in food prep space and the dining table was a bit tight on space. The door to the laundry was extremely heavy and made loading and unloading the washer difficult. The green chair on the top of the landing looks very nice but is an accident waiting to happen where young children are concerned. We moved it to the living room. The property was clean and reasonably comfortable and of course very well located. It was a real shame that from a maintenance perspective the apartment did not meet expectation. By the Friday when the front door locking device failed it began to feel like we were staying in Fawlty Towers. Had it not been for a litany of near disasters with door locks and what felt like an intruder leaving our apartments unlocked we may well have booked again for later in the year but now I'm not so sure.

  We stayed at the property for a seaside break, with our two children (11 and 13).

  The property is central and a few min walk from the train station, supermarket and less then a min walk from the beach. A car is useful to visit surrounding Wales but is no way needed to get to the property or get the most out of Barmouth itself. On arrival everything was clean and as described in the advertisement and was matching the photos provided. The rooms were if anything more spacious than we had imagined. I personally enjoyed the amount of art in every room. There is some steep steps inside the building to get to the apartment, as mentioned. But it really is worth the effort for the view of Barmouth beach. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. We used the cooking facilities and everything you could think of was provided. It's really difficult to think of any constructive criticism to provide, perhaps the vacuum could do with a replacement as the nozzle easily comes loose. We had a fantastic time and hope to come back again. We would happily recommend this property to our friends and family. Thank you for providing the base for our lovely holiday ❤️.

  We loved the apartment which was light, airy and comfortable, kitchen was well equipped.

  Commanded lovely views of the beach and estuary. Counted 52 steps up to the top floor, so not for those who can't do stairs! However, it could do with a thorough deep clean, had there been cleaning supplies, I would have done it myself as it bugged me the whole week. Windows especially were filthy inside and out, shame as this spoilt the view! Bathroom, shower full of black mould, nothing an old toothbrush, bleach and elbow grease wouldn't fix. Behind door full of dust, tiled shelf ditto. Skirting boards, ditto, especially below heater in front bedroom, visible from dining area. Fridge on its last legs, icebox so iced up, impossible to get anything in and dripping water all over food in fridge (health hazard). No black bags for rubbish provided, ditto washing up liquid, antibax Flash? etc. Vacuuming lax as bits and dust everywhere, seems new carpet has been laid but not cleaned up very well. We would return as we liked the apartment but please, give it the clean it deserves.

  What an absolutely superb place to stay.

  Pete(the owner) was fantastic and was always at the end of the phone if we had any questions. The local area is so picturesque and the locals are really friendly. The pub just down the road is a lovely place to go and relax with a nice drink and something to eat. The cottage is fantastic with everything you could need to make your stay enjoyable. The view from the lounge window is amazing and you could just sit there, listen to the birds and just while the hours away. Which we did a few times! It is a perfect location if you are keen on aviation, as it is a stones throw away from some great locations to capture pictures of fast jets!(They sometimes fly over the cottage!) We will definitely be returning as there is so much more we want to see and do around Corris and the surrounding areas. I would definitely recommend a stay here whether you are a keen walker, aviation fan or just fancy a chill in an amazing location. Thanks again Pete from an amazing stay.

  Although familiar with Barmouth from previous visits to the area we had never stayed in the town before.

  This apartment was ideally situated at the 'bridge end' of town and I loved to be able to see the bridge and estuary from the window. The apartment was spacious, it had everything needed for a self-catering holiday, and the water pressure was great in the showers with plenty of hot water! The car park pass is also great, it was so handy to be able to use in other towns where you did not know how long you wanted to stay. It actually encouraged visits to places that we might not otherwise have gone to. My only comment is that it would be nice to have a larger TV screen in the living room. There is plenty of room on the wall for a larger screen. Not important in the summer months maybe but in cooler months with shorter days or in bad weather it would be nice to have a decent size TV screen. Overall we had a really nice stay and definitely hope to stay again in the future.
