    “We arrived in the midst of storm Claudia.”

    The bedroom terrace furniture cushions and cover were about to blow away,so we had to secure them. Couldn’t bring them inside because they were wet and there was nowhere to put them. There were a couple of leaks seeping through the ceiling from the dining room flat roof and in the corner of the ceiling above the bunk beds. However,we accept that it was EXTREME weather. We just want to draw attention to it. We are avid recyclers,and felt the instructions were inadequate. This is the first ...

    The bedroom terrace furniture cushions and cover were about to blow away,so we had to secure them. Couldn’t bring them inside because they were wet and there was nowhere to put them. There were a couple of leaks seeping through the ceiling from the dining room flat roof and in the corner of the ceiling above the bunk beds. However,we accept that it was EXTREME weather. We just want to draw attention to it. We are avid recyclers,and felt the instructions were inadequate. This is the first property that we have stayed at without a welcome pack. Had to request extra towels (not enough for 8 people). Some of the carpets were in need of cleaning,and we encountered dust and cobwebs in corners,on cupboards and walls. HOWEVER, none of the above detracts from the fact that we had a wonderful week. It is a lovely property, well equipped with everything required for cooking etc. The area is lovely with amazing views.

    - Paul, November 2025

    Hi Paul, many thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry if you didn’t find the welcome pack- it is located in the kitchen. Also I trust you found the additional towels that the team left for you. Thanks for reporting the water ingress. You’re quite right that in extreme weather we can see a bit of damp coming in. I’ve not seen anything for a couple of years but I know the storm you encountered was quite wild! We’re doing some refurb work in January, which will include replacing the carpets you mentioned. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay once the weather settled down Hopefully we’ll see you again. Property Owner

About the location

BORTH-Y-GEST

Porthmadog 1.2 miles; Criccieth 6 miles.

Borth-y-Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth-y-Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth-y-Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.
