“A new kitchen and bathroom, nicely decorated and exceptionally clean.”

As mentioned in feedback in April 24, there is insufficient cutlery, tools, plates etc. A coffee filter jug would be useful. The thermostat for the heating did not work and even though there was hot water, the radiators could not be turned on in the chilly evenings. There was no where to hang your coats. A few dishwater tablets for when you first arrive would have been good. There were no instructions for the property ie for the bin day and how to use the equipment. The glass tiles in the ...

As mentioned in feedback in April 24, there is insufficient cutlery, tools, plates etc. A coffee filter jug would be useful. The thermostat for the heating did not work and even though there was hot water, the radiators could not be turned on in the chilly evenings. There was no where to hang your coats. A few dishwater tablets for when you first arrive would have been good. There were no instructions for the property ie for the bin day and how to use the equipment. The glass tiles in the bathroom give natural light from the window in the bedroom. These glass tiles do require a curtain on the bedroom side, as during the night, when the bathroom light is turned on it lights up the whole bedroom. One of the main attraction of this property was the close proximity of the village pub as advertised in the property description. The pub was unfortunately closed in June 24 for refurbishment and may not open until November 24. Perhaps a note should be added to the property details to inform people of the closure. However we did find the community shop in the pub garden very handy.

“The house was very clean and comfortable.”

Everything is very new so which is great. Quiet village. Two main issues - the lack of cutlery and dishes in the kitchen (only 4 knives etc when there could be 4 people staying). More chopping boards/small dishes/glasses and trivets or cork mats to put hot dishes on. It would be useful to leave some tablets for the dishwasher (but this only makes sense if more cutlery etc available as it is not the dish washer would be quite empty.) Some hooks on the back of the bathroom/bedroom doors would be useful as well as a set of hooks for coats in the kitchen. Generally very little storage upstairs - a chest of drawers would be good. Note that the bath is a half bath which does not lead to a relaxing soak as stated in the property description. It is fine if you are child under 10! Garden is quite well enclosed unless your dog is a real escape artist (the wall at the back is jumpable with a big drop on the other side). The village has very little grass areas for a dog walk - it is mainly road walking on narrowish roads from the house. Good beach nearby (a 5 min drive really) at lower tides otherwise very stoney. Local pub does not do food but good garden area for a drink.

Dear Guests We were so pleased to hear that you found 5 Crescent clean and comfortable. This is out first season with the cottage so your feedback on the number of place settings is really helpful and we will ensure that we add som extra cutlery and plates etc. We are sorry to hear that you found the bath small. It is a small bath not a full sized one and was included in addition to the shower as we felt it would be helpful for guests with small children. Regretably a full sized bath felt too big so it was removed in favour of giving more overall spave in the bathroom. We were sorry that when you visited the Harp Community Pub was not serving food - it usually does. As you correctly say, it does have a lovely beer garden! We hope to see you again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

“The property was so clean and well presented, the bed was the comfiest we’ve ever slept in, with nice linen.”

We did have a problem with hot water in the shower; it was only Luke warm for about 2 minutes then ran cold but on the last 2 days it suddenly worked and became nice and hot. We cooked each night with no difficulty, the only suggestions we could make would be for there to be a caffetier for some lovely fresh coffee, a clock somewhere ( although a holiday is a time when time should be forgotten). One last thing was that the link to get the details about the house were the wrong ones (seaview cottage Menai ) but we managed. We would definitely recommend and stay again. Thankyou

- Trevor, April 2024

Dear Guests Thank you for your lovely review. I was really upset when you called me to say that you were having problems with the hot water but delighted that we got it sorted out for you. Thank you for pointing out that you were supplied with the wrong link to the property guide - we will contact Menai Holidays to make sure that this does not happen again. We look forward to seeing you again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

“Fantastic cottage, one problem, no blinds or curtain on kitchen windows.”

Walk way past kitchen , any one can see straight in, especially in the evening, outside doors are drafty. Other than that fantastic. B. Howard.

- Barbara, March 2024

Dear guests. Thank you for your lovely review! Thank you for your feedback. We have never found a need for a kitchen blind as the cottage is so private. The cottage is Grade 2 listed so uPVC doors are not an option. We will certainly look to see if there are any draft proofing measures we can take. Property Owner

“Very comfortable cottage.”

The owners allowed us to stay at very short notice as our original booking was not available due to a boiler problem. The cottage is in a beautiful village with a fantastic community run pub . The cottage was emaculate inside , the bed was extremely comfortable. We did have a few issues with the TV and WiFi but this was sorted out quickly by the owners and Menai . The surrounding countryside and beaches were amazing .

- Diane, October 2023

Dear Guests We were so glad you enjoyed your stay! Llandwrog is a lovely village and I am glad you liked it as much as we do. We were glad to be able to step in and help when your original cottage experienced a problem. Best wishes Helen Property Owner

The property

5 The Crescent is a delightful, stone-fronted cottage, tucked away in the village of Llandwrog near Caernarfon, Gwynedd.

Perfect for pet-friendly getaways, the property is surrounded by beautiful countryside, is just a stroll away from a local pub or walk down to the fantastic beach at Dinas Dinlle, alternatively take the car to make the most of the free parking at the beach and spend the day, giving you the chance to explore the Iron Aged Hillfort.

The location of the cottage makes it a wonderful base for a North Wales adventure.

As you arrive the side access leads you into the lovely mature rear garden, a haven for alfresco mealtimes and enjoying the calm sweetness of friends and family.

Step indoors and find the comfortable sitting room, with traditional beams overhead, two plush sofas to sink into, and a TV for entertainment, use this space to relax after a day of hiking, sightseeing, and traversing the county.

The kitchen/diner is fully-equipped and features a sleek design, where you can rustle up delicious meals, to be enjoyed around the breakfast bar for four, rounding off your evening with a refreshing glass of wine.

Complete your nightly routine in the contemporary bathroom, choose between either a long, relaxing soak or a revitalising shower, before heading off to bed in either the double or twin bedroom.

Whether you want to explore or simply relax, the area surrounding 5 The Crescent has something to offer for everyone.

Caernarfon is full of interesting history, with the 13th-century castle where the investature of the King as the Prince of Wales took place, Airworld Aviation Museum at the nearby Caernarfon Airport or Inigo Jones Slate Works in nearby Groeslon.

With the delightful beaches, lakes and walks just a car journey away, spend the day wandering in the sunshine, enjoying a dip or building sandcastles, before devouring a bag of fish and chips from The Surfer Chippy.

Travel north to nearby Anglesey for its iconic beaches and quaint towns; from walking to birdwatching, days out to family activities, you can make the most of the wonderful natural scenery and attractions that are all within easy reach, or reroute south, and enjoy all that the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park has to offer.

Experience all of this with a stay at 5 The Crescent.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

CAERNARFON

Llanberis 8 miles; Bangor 9 miles.

A pretty Welsh village just outside of the majestic Snowdonia National Park. Groeslon is the ideal base for exploring all of what North Wales has to offer. The village itself offers the traditional Penionyn Tafarn pub serving food, the ideal spot to sit and relax after a day of activities. There is also the Indigo Jones Slateworks, a slate business dating back to the 1860's which has a delightful café and is dog friendly. There is seemingly endless places to see and things to do around Groeslon with the historic town of Caernarfon just a short drive away, and the amazing Isle of Anglesey just slightly further, a place you must visit whilst in North Wales. There is also an abundance of seaside resorts nearby if that's your thing, with Dinas Dinlle, Pwllheli and Porthmadog all within easy reach. Of course the Snowdonia National Park cannot be missed, with an enormous range of scenery, walking and wildlife to enjoy.

Note: Two well behaved dogs welcome £20 per pet per stay please ask for additional pets
