“This is a really well maintained property, it’s very comfortable with plenty of space.”

The bed linen is crisp and fresh, the shower is really good and the upstairs lounge is a great space. The one thing your write ups don’t tell you though is that half the house is actually under another property and we had kids running up and down our roof morning and night which did not aid to a good nights sleep - you should really tell people that - such a shame as we had a great week otherwise but the last thing you want on a quiet week away is other peoples noisy children intruding on ...

“The venue was very comfortable and had plenty of character.”

Facilities were very good also. Car parking provision was however poor. The listing for this property needs to be amended to emphasise that the parking space is suitable for small vehicles only. Alternative parking provision suggested is located at the bottom of a steep hill, which is not suitable for disabled or elderly guests.

There is a hair pin bend in the drive which requires a 3 point turn. It is best to drive in forwards and reverse out. Our large transporter van is parked here without problems. It’s always easier with cameras. Property Owner

“We all loved staying at The Old School House, due to the lovely, arty and comfortable decor.”

The house was in a perfect location and we enjoyed being able to sit outside to enjoy the glorious sunshine. The beds were confortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved that there were things for chilldren eg a bucket and spade etc. We played Trvial Pursuit which I haven't played in years. So nice to have games to play as we couldn't fit ours in the car! The house was a joy to share and we all relaxed. Pwllheli was surprisingly quiet, even the beach - loads of space to walk on your own! The town centre has an Asda, Lidl and a very well stocked Spar, plus bakers, butchers etc. I felt very safe here and I am glad that I bought my parents, who had been shielding. This was a perfect break.

Tyrer August 2019

“Lovely property with many original features and well maintained.”

It was in a great location, right on the doorstep of the town but in a peaceful spot and easy location to visit all the local areas. The property is more spacious than it appeared on the images and was ample size for 6 of us. Really lovely property and would certainly recommend. .

Mr Davies June 2019

“Pleased to see new fridge-freezer.”

kettle, frying pan, and kitchen utensils. The beds were very comfortable, but the sofas in the lounges less so. We found the solitary bathroom to be rather restrictive for 4 adults.

“Fautless! On first entering the old schoolhouse we were immediately impressed by the standard of décor and the facilities available.”

Everything needed had been provided, the owner has obviously put a lot of thought into what is needed for a stay in this property. I would definitely recommend the old schoolhouse to anybody for a stay in Phwelli.

Mr Loughrey August 2018

“The first thing we noticed was paint flaking on the walls.”

There was a foisty smell especially in downstairs bedroom. Mould in all the bedrooms. It was an insult for the amount paid.

- Mr Loughrey, August 2018

Dear Mr Loughrey, we were really disappointed that you weren't happy with the standard of our property. As you will have seen from our visitor book it is extremely rare for anybody to have left without having thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Since you have stayed the property has been upgraded considerably with replastered and repainted walls and new double glazing installed throughout. The old windows didn't promote good air circulation whereas the new double glazing includes trickle vents which ensure the airflows and circulates through the property correctly, so if there was ever a foisty smell there certainly isn't any more. We are very proud of our property and would love to welcome you back for another stay. Richard and Charlotte Property Owner
Mr Davies June 2018

“I was a pupil at this former school in the early 40s, so it was great to come back and stay in the well-planned conversion.”

We were especially impressed by the first floor sitting room which was warm and cosy in the evenings. (The walls of the old stone building must be in the region of 3 feet thick so the downstairs kitchen/diner and lounge were nice and cool during the heat of the day, but were on the chilly side in the evenings.) We all liked the elevated location of the building enabling us to look over the town, and even see the harbour from the top-floor bedroom. The location was within easy reach of the supermarket, and the local shops, also the rail and bus stations, so we were able to have trips out of Pwllheli without using the car all the time.

- Mr Davies, June 2018

Dear Mr Davies, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Old School House and loved hearing how impressed you were with the conversion. You are by no means the only former pupil to have enjoyed a stay at the property and we really enjoy reading the feedback you and others have left in our visitors book. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another stay at the Old School House !. Richard and Charlotte Property Owner
Mr Scott March 2018

“As the ground floor bedrooms are built under next door you have no control over any noise from the neighbours.”

On our last night the neighbours were very loud untill one in the morning.

- Mr Scott, March 2018

Dear Mr Scott, We were really disappointed to hear that on your last evening there had been an issue with noisy neighbours. We contacted the owners of the property who have apologised. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay other than that and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Richard and Charlotte Property Owner
