“We loved our stay, great location for what we wanted, walking distance to everything.”

Very comfortable & clean, lovely to see the pillows & duvet were clean when we stripped the beds as is often not the case at other places we’ve stayed Will definitely return, we enjoyed watching the trains come & go right by the French doors at the back & enjoyed spending hours & hours sitting on the balcony overlooking the marina Looking forward to returning very soon

“Our second stay at 3 Marina View.”

Sadly we feel the creaking floor in the upstairs lounge & kitchen has become worse. Even light footsteps produce loud creaks from the floor structure, which are unavoidable. In the bedrooms below the noises are loud & disturbing. It is difficult to sleep if someone is moving about upstairs. This proved a genuine problem this visit & would influence the chances of us rebooking this property.

- Gary, May 2025

“We had a good stay, the owners contacted us beforehand to let us know about repaired damage from the previous occupants which was good to know.”

The property is very clean and modern, however I did have to put all the cutlery, mugs in the mug rack, knives in the block and most of the plates through the dishwasher as they not all clean. The washing machine was a bit temperamental but we got it working eventually (a manual would be helpful, couldn’t find one in the property so had to google for one). Also, whilst it is stated there would be noise from the trains, it only bothered us early in the morning when the doors would rattle in the frames when trains were leaving/arriving. The location is very good looking over the marina which is very picturesque on a sunny day, the bar at the end of the road was very good. We could taken our dog in there which was a bonus as we found Pwllheli and many of the surrounding villages very dog unfriendly. We have been all over Wales and the Llyn peninsula seems to have a problem with four legged friends unlike every other part of Wales we’ve visited.

- Ian, October 2024
Stuart June 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

The property is ideally located within the town and for visiting other places of interest on the Llŷn Peninsula. My only criticism is the property is in need of some simple maintenance. The lock on the front door and the lock on the front lounge patio door are difficult to operate. In general the property could do with a freshen up with painting the walls and wood work.

- Stuart, June 2024

“It was a pleasure to stay here , the apartment was spotless and well equipped and view was fab”

- Garrick, May 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I will make sure that my cleaner, sees your review as she must take credit for the cleanliness and appearance of the house on your arrival. I hope to be able to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner
Allan March 2024

“We had a lovely time at 3 Marina View, the apartment was very clean and tidy, home from home really.”

Our only negative is the double bedroom is very noisy as it’s in the front,, we didn’t test the back bedroom, overall it was a pleasant stay and we would recommend this apartment it’s quite central for exploring North Wales.

- Allan, March 2024
Peter February 2024

“Wasn’t clean when we arrived had to hoover which smelt.”

Bedrooms smelt of dog and rules not being kept to. Our dogs stayed in the lounge upstairs but they now want to charge us with cleaning bill for the carpets in the bedroom !!!!

- Peter, February 2024

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address your feedback, which I fully anticipated. I do not take the decision lightly to contact a guest following their stay. It is not appropriate to revisit specifics in an open forum. However, I pride myself on providing a good standard of accommodation, which is evidenced by the many positive reviews I have received before this one. I also aim to address promptly any concerns my guests have, which has also been commented on in a previous review. Indeed I have many returning guests which would not be the case if the house were as you suggest. Had you given me the opportunity to address your concerns, I would certainly have done so.

“Have stayed in these houses 4 times now.”

Pwllheli is a great base to explore the Lynn penisula. Fishing is excellent in this area, the owners are very friendly and helpful. dont hesitate to book this lovely house.. it is Beautiful.

- John, September 2023
Y June 2023

“Well appointed accommodation.”

Enjoyed watching the harbour, and walking around it. Very handy position to visit locally. One niggle, I would have liked curtains in the front bedroom as the stree lights shine through the blinds.

- Y, June 2023

Paul April 2023

“Overall and excellent property with great facilities outstanding hygiene and well equipped.”

It was a great convenient location and hood views of the harbour. A few very minor maintenance items but this didn't spoil our stay. So we will come again. This is just for the owner to help improve. The double bed dips in the middle so you roll inwards. The balcony doors are difficult to open and close so we had a flood from rainwater on the last morning. On arrival, the door was locked in the open position, so security was not good. The downstairs shower door knob inside is lose.

- Paul, April 2023
Karen January 2023

“Very modern , clean, warm and well equipped house.”

Kitchen was excellent and I was able to cook family meals with no trouble. Plenty of hot water and powerful shower. Ideally situated for Pwllheli itself and surrounding area. The views across the Marina are beautiful and the gated parking a bonus. Be aware that the road and railway tracks are quite noisy but it wasn’t a problem for us and didn’t spoil our enjoyment. Having 2 elderly dogs it was a bit inconvenient having to carry them up and down stairs to take them out ….. but again didn’t detract from all the other positive points of the house. Would use again if staying in this area.

- Karen, January 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. I hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you and your furry friends back for another stay in the future. Property Owner
Karena October 2022

“Great location and lovely house with stunning views.”

Clean tidy spacious - would defiantly come again. People in Pwllheli were so helpful as we were looking to touch base with family and we certainly did! Weather was fab and beach walks amazing. Selar the Spanish restaurant - fantastic!

- Karena, October 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review. And we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We can't guarantee the weather but we hope to get the opportunity to welcome you again. Property Owner
Andrew September 2022

“The owner was extremely helpful when we found a couple of lightbulbs were broken.”

I know it’sa minor thing but she went out of her way to make sure they were replaced in a few hours. As we were staying for 2 weeks she also arrange a mid-break clean while we were out and the cleaner did a fantastic job. The house is in a great location in the centre of town. The trains on the line to the rear of the house can get a little loud but it wasn’t something that bothered us. There are not many good restaurants in town, but enough to keep us going. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

- Andrew, September 2022
Den August 2022

“Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation, and a great base to explore Snowdonia, the only small gripe would be the occasional noise from the trains and the main road outside but it's nothing major, will definitely stay again.”

- Den, August 2022

Thank you for your feed back. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Donna April 2022

“I can’t tell you how much I hate Sykes cottages and will never use again following their treatment of me during lockdown and will never recommend.”

The holiday accommodation however was great, really convenient for sailing centre where my son was competing as well as the town. My son actually loved being so close to train station but it did wake him up. Was very comfortable accommodation. Bed was a dream. Blinds and sofa (underneath cushions when I was looking for something) were a bit dirty and no instructions for washing machine. Other than that it was fab. Thank you. Would definitely recommend but not through Sykes.

- Donna, April 2022
Stephen March 2022

“Had a lovely relaxing stay ideal location close to all amenities.”

Enjoyed sitting in bucket seats looking out watching tides change and fabulous views across harbour. Well equipped house with everything you need. On a down side the sofa arm cushions are shedding feathers everywhere and needs immediate attention. Also after stripping bedding in front bedroom noticed stains on pillows and mattress protection needs replacing ASAP. Apart from that a great break away.

- Stephen, March 2022

Thank you for your feed back. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall. We have addressed all your comments and items have been repaired or replaced. We hope you will consider another stay with us in the future. Property Owner
Les October 2021

“Lovely stay in a lovely cottage,everything you would want is there.”

Booked already for next year.

- Les, October 2021
Julie September 2021

“We didn’t appreciate that we would have to go out the front door and round to side to get to the back of the property to let the dogs into the back yard, which was ok if it wasn’t raining!”

Otherwise it was absolutely great!

- Julie, September 2021
Elaine September 2021

“This is a lovely apartment and a lovely touch of a welcome bottle of wine.”

Watching the changing tides and the swans etc was very relaxing. The apartment has a lot of natural light. However for us we found the road noise at front and back was too much given that we are not used to it. Early mornings (between 5 and 6 am) became a feature but it did allow us to be awake to experience a beautiful sunrise. Be aware that on Saturday night the Venu at the end of the road Has a late night which goes on until the early hours.

- Elaine, September 2021
Colin September 2021

“The property is very comfortable and well-appointed, and ideally situated for exploring the area with train and bus stations nearby.”

The only downside was the noise from the diesel engines of the train being started up before 6 a.m. sometimes an hour ahead of the train actually leaving the station.

- Colin, September 2021
Sharon August 2021

“Closeness to all facilities”

- Sharon, August 2021
Ian July 2021

“Excellent location for the town and sailing centre.”

- Ian, July 2021
Ben June 2021

“Really nice accommodation next to Pwllheli Marina.”

Good location as you can walk in to town in less than a minute. Comfortable beds with everything you need for you stay. Road noise is noticeable but didn't keep us awake in the mornings like others have mentioned. Train noise is barely noticeable and had o issues with it. Would definitely stay again!

- Ben, June 2021
Jo June 2021

“Very disappointed to read the rules on arrival re our dogs not being allowed on the carpeted area, this being the bedrooms, as this was not mentioned in the information when booking.”

This caused both ourselves and our dogs a great deal of stress and anxiety. We always take their beds with us and they sleep on these, but we had to lock them out of the bedroom and they slept in the hallway. Under no circumstances would I have booked Marina View if I had known this. Also the feathers kept sticking in us and coming out of the cushions on the settee.Very uncomfortable

- Jo, June 2021
Sally May 2021

“This accommodation was exactly as described.”

Great base to explore area. Road and train line quiet overnight. Great view, can’t wait to come back. Loved it.

- Sally, May 2021
Paul May 2021

“Whilst the road in front of the property is quiet at night the traffic starts early morning so difficult to sleep in much past 06:00.”

The train station is to the rear and as it is at the end of the line there are only a few trains so not really an issue. The biggest issue is the widespread 'no dogs' policy in the area which is very restricting. Cornwall is a lot friendlier regarding dogs. Dogs are not allowed in most of the bars (including Wetherspoons which has a blanket ban on dogs). Also Portmerion does not allow dogs and the Snowdon train does not let you take dogs on board. Weird and will probably mean we will have to look elsewhere in the future.

- Paul, May 2021
Stephen May 2021

“The apartment itself can't be faulted.”

Bright and clean. Fully equipped, making our stay very comfortable. Great view across the marina. Unfortunately, at home we don't have to put up with traffic passing our property and are not used to the noise, especially in the early hours of the morning. Obviously this is not a problem for a lot of visitors, and consequently we can only but recommend this property as a great base for exploring the Llyn peninsular and is very well placed for any grocery shopping that needs to be done during your stay.

- Stephen, May 2021
Paulene September 2020

“Really enjoyed our stay as the apartment was so accessible for walks and shopping as well as the beach.”

Well equipped and great views Some furniture a little tired such as sofa and chair, the latter having cushions which continuously leaked feathers and the double bed mattress past it’s day-could feel the springs so slept on duvet. Some cookware needs replacing. However these issues did not detract from a pleasant week. Covid awareness commendable-risks minimised.

- Paulene, September 2020
S August 2020

“The location was so convenient for the beach and the town.”

It was lovely to look out on the marina. The accommodation was really comfortable, cosy and really clean. We’ve had a wonderful relaxing week.

- Deborah, August 2020
Ben August 2020

“We especially loved the view over the marina with the ever changing skies.”

The house was light, bright and very tastefully decorated. It was a great base for us to explore this lovely part of Wales.

- Ben, August 2020
Stephen March 2020

“Fabulous House ideally situated spotless clean and everything supplied for a comfortable stay was so exciting finding this property in this area we love with plenty of walks right on your doorstep parked car and forgot about it for a week great relaxing break.”

I was so pleased about this place that I booked another week straight away for the following year. NB without firstly checking my emails and realising afew days later that I received a money off voucher £40 off my next booking but when I phoned about I was told too late should of phoned same day as booking..so check your emails before rebooking..

- Denis, September 2019
Jenna August 2019

“Fantastic location for the Llyn Peninsula and beyond.”

The accommodation was very comfortable and well furnished, with a great view over the marina. A stones throw from the town and any amenities required. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking out in an evening. We will look to visit again.

- Jenna, August 2019
Ian August 2019

“The position was ideal for us as my son and I were competing in a week long sailing event at Plas Heli.”

The convenience for the Spar supermarket (and Wetherspoon's!) was also useful.

- Ian, August 2019
J July 2019

“The apartment mas a super base for exploring the Lleyn Peninsular .”

Great location . Very accommodating and helpful next door meighbour. She was also the cleaner for our apartment. Would return without a second thought, thanks for setting the tone for a most enjoyable holiday.

Paul May 2019

“Great location on the quayside with lovely views over the marina.”

Very comfortable accommodation that was just as expected from the photos. The station at the back of the property allowed us to explore the area by train as will as nice walks along the coast in both directions ment we did not need to use the car every day. A perfect relaxing holiday!

- Paul, May 2019
Janet April 2019

“We loved the house with great views over the marina.”

It was close to shops and the beach was a short walk away. The beds were really comfortable and the house was lovely and warm - showers were great. Having a gated car park was also appreciated. A lovely relaxing stay.

- Janet, April 2019
Louise March 2019

“Lovely property.”

Excellent value for money. Bigger than expected and so light and airy. Enjoyed the views. Everything we needed was there. Very comfortable. Yes you can here the road when in the front bedroom, but we found it was loudest on the Saturday night. It didn't affect our stay. This is the price you pay for being so central. You didn't have to walk far for anything and in fact we did not use our car all week. Trains are not very frequent and certainly not very noisy. Also the train is handy for travelling along the coast. We had a lovely week and definitely recommend.

- Louise, March 2019
Sian Mererid October 2018

“Stylish and comfortable accomodation with wonderful views accross to the marina.”

Location was great - only a couple of minutes walk to the town centre. Although backing on to the railway station, this was made clear in the description and trains were infrequent and did not affect our holiday! We would certainly return.

- Sian Mererid, October 2018

A great view over the Marina, no downside to this property. The weather was an added bonus and to have a secure parking area thrown in it couldn't have been better.

- Derek, June 2018
