I can from the visitors information see that the owners took over this cottage in 2021 so my comments are only ment as information I’m not trying to be harsh or critical just helpful as I would want this info myself. The cottage is beautiful and in fantastic location immediate impressions were great. However the cleanliness was really poor Especially in covid times . I made a last minute booking but as changeovers always happen in time limited conditions and I have experience of this I don’t think It should have been a factor . The bin had not been emptied and the rubbish in it was not in a bag cleaners should have made this one of the priorities with covid. The kitchen units need attention to detail the inside top of drawers have marks which can easily be wiped off .The dishwasher had not been emptied therefore not cleaned . The floor had not been mopped and was sticky and really dirty which would have been quickly remedied by myself if there was a mop in the property . If you leave a clean mop head as its dog friendly most reasonable dog owners would expect to clean the floors during the week . The sofas are literally awful again I know it’s dog friendly but they are in a state again I know this can be a problem but there should be spare covers you can put on . I’m off out in a bit to get a mop ! If you as an owner get to read this then I suggest you take a look at the sofas and think if you’d want to sit on them . yourself that’s my measure .

Thank you for your feedback. We were very surprised by some of the comments but we will attend to all of them. It was an unexpected changeover, with a booking only 19 hours before arrival, but the cottage should have been fully ready. We do apologise and it won’t happen again Owner relations

“We love this cottage we have stayed previously .”

But previously we booked direct with the owner who I believe has now sold it on. We have never booked through yourselves before , we have booked cottages all over the UK previously with different agencies and owners and this is the first time we didn’t receive a lovely welcome pack ? Even basic essentials would of been nice , coffee tea milk sachets etc but there was nothing . This cottage is cute and cosy and in a lovely location we love the cottage , but I can’t believe how tired it’s now looking for the price your asking , it needs now to reflect the price ! The couches all looking tired one of them quite stained , mildew in the shower cubicle and runner , lots of splashes on the wood shiplap next to the toilet , plaster showing above the window in the living area and bedroom , wardrobes could do with doors , looks untidy with clothes and shoes with no doors on , one of the bedrooms has lovely french doors leading to a Teeny outside space which is a lovely touch , but your just looking out onto bins , a drainpipe and a concrete floor where the paint has come off could be made to look much prettier with some I ain’t and a few touches , even with this feed back we would love to revisit hopefully next time it will match the Cost of he stay , or unfortunately we will have to try elsewhere..Kind Regards .

Thank you for your feedback – as we have only just taken over the property from the previous owner we are only just starting to refresh the property. We are aware that you have stayed before and, apart from renovating the outside furniture, we have not had the opportunity to alter anything yet so the property is much the same as when you stayed there last September. We will obviously be acting on your suggestions and thank you for them. Owner relations

About the location

CRICCIETH

Porthmadog 5 miles.

Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.

Note: 1st dog goes free, 2nd dog is £20
