    “Great stay, except that the bed linen was covered in what appeared to be bloodstains.”

    We slept on top of the bed with a blanket from the car because the bed linen was disgusting. We have stayed there before so we're very disappointed.

    We are very disappointed to read your comments, particularly as we take cleanliness and housekeeping standards extremely seriously. All of our bed linen is professionally laundered by a specialist laundry company, who were also very concerned to hear of your feedback. In addition, the bed was made by the owner of our cleaning company, and they have confirmed that the linen was clean and free from any stains when the property was prepared for your arrival.Following your departure, our cleaning team documented what appeared to be fresh blood spots on the bedding and pillowcase, with some staining also visible on the mattress protector beneath. Based on this evidence, both our cleaning company and laundry provider are confident that the bed linen was not presented in the condition described in your review.What is particularly disappointing is that no contact was made with us. during your stay. Had you raised your concerns as soon as you arrived, we would have responded immediately, attended the property, investigated the issue, and provided replacement bedding if required. This would also have allowed us to see the issue first-hand and resolve it promptly for you.We value guest feedback and always welcome the opportunity to address any concerns during a stay. Unfortunately, as the matter was only raised on departure, we were not given the chance to investigate or rectify the situation at the time. Property Owner

The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn . The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family.
