17 Glyn Y Marian

Great location, lovely being able to sit on the balcony, walk to the sea.

We did some long walks from the property over to Abersoch. Parking was not a problem as wasn’t busy but it might be worth having marked out parking bays for busy times. A few extra items of cookware eg quiche dish, casserole dish etc and no welcome pack!! We did really enjoy the week and thank you for putting on the hottest week of the year.

A lovely little upside down house - the perfect layout to maximise the amazing views from the balcony (the photos don't do it justice - and it's perfect on sunny days) The good - the accommodation was comfortable and clean.

The owner was very friendly and helpful when we contacted her before arriving.Having a dishwasher was handy and the kitchen was well equipped - nice to see a property advertised for 6 having large enough pans to cook for a group. It was a half-mile stroll to the dog friendly beach and there were plenty of walks and cut-throughs to explore. Be warned there are rabbits in the grounds and near by - my dog loved watching these! The less-good. The en-suite felt like it was built in a wardrobe - the dividing wall is very thin. We got used to it after a day but the sliding door isn't as practical as a normal door. We didn't get TV or satellite reception but the property has a fast internet connection so we watched everything over streaming (we took our own streaming dongle with us) We would certainly stop here again.

Fantastic place Clare is a lovely host 100%

We found Glyn y Marian clean, comfortable & well situated for the beach and coastal path.

The balcony is a fabulous place to relax and take in the stunning views. Claire is an excellent host, contacting us to check we had everything we needed and to arrange a change of bed linen at the end of our first week. The Ship Inn is a great place for an evening meal, booking is essential as it's very popular. I've no hesitation in recommending Glyn y Marian and will definitely book again next time we're looking for a holiday in the area.

The sea views from the living room in 17 Glyn Y Marian are fabulous.

The house is comfortable and well-equipped. The owner was super responsive and helpful. Some of the decor is a little tired but this did not detract from our enjoyment - just something to be aware of. Llanbedrog is a lovely place to stay too.

Love this place so much so that we have returned each year for a number of years, the views of the sea and mountains are amazing and the house is warm, clean and cozy.

The area is central to all the places on the Llyn that we love to visit. Thankyou

This is the 3rd time we have visited this property, it never disappoints!

The view is simply stunning, and we just love llanbedrog, short walk to the beach and 5-10 minutes in the car to Abersoch, we are rested and have had a great time, and will be back again !

It was a delight to stay in Glyn y Marian again.

The view from the balcony is wonderful. The location is fantastic, with beach and the lovely Glyn y Weddw a short walk away and Pwllheli and Abersoch so near. The property was spotlessly clean, with new beds, linen and towels. Claire was the perfect host. She even resolved a mistake we’d made with humour and grace. Thank you Claire!

The property was lovely, the views from the living room/kitchen were amazing.

We could not stop looking at the sea view, from this room. You can even sit in the arm chair and view the sunrise/sunset from this point. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to prepare your meals. It was just a short walk to the beach and the beach bar/cafe. The owner Claire is a very friendly, approachable person, who call us during the holiday, to check everything was ok. A very nice thing to do, thank Claire for a lovely relaxing holiday at your property.

This property is in serious need of updating.

Lots of marks on the walls, requires decorating throughout.There was no blind on the bathroom window. As it is downstairs & right next to the front door it wasn’t great, especially when the window cleaners arrived whilst having a shower! The en-suite in the main bedroom is shabby & door runners very rusty, so looks unsightly. Bedroom furniture is very tired. On a good note the beds were comfortable & the property was clean. The view from the balcony was amazing. The distance along the path from the car to the front door also needs highlighting. It’s uphill and quite a way to carry bags.

We had a lovely 3-night stay at the property.

The owner was helpful and communicative from the outset. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The views from the upstairs living area are particularly spectacular! The kitchen was well-equipped, and the living room was comfy and cosy. The location is wonderful - a short walk to the beautiful Llanbedrog beach, the fabulous Aqua Beach Bar and the wonderful Plas Glyn y Weddw Gallery. It was only a short drive to both Abersoch and Pwllheli. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you so much!

Fantastic position and lovely and quiet.

Good supply of cooking equipment. The kitchen, bathrooms and beds were very clean, but the property is very ‘tired’ in its overall appearance. It looked as though the walls were suffering from water ingress, in numerous places, and a problem with wallpapering onto an inadequately prepared surface in others: whatever the reason, they looked in a very poor state, although I don’t think it was suffering from damp.Such a shame, as the property could be spectacular. I’m sad to say that I would not recommend.

Overall shabby en-suite doors rusted and of the runners would not book again.

The property is in a lovely position with views over the bay.

It’s very well equipped and very comfortable with lots of space for six people. A great choice of games and books is provided which we enjoyed. Maybe another easy chair in the lounge area and two more chairs on the balcony would have been good but not a problem. The only reason for not giving five stars was the breakdown of the shower in the main bathroom, as the required part needed ordering. We had a wonderful holiday there, thank you.

Lovely owner who was very helpful prior to our arrival !

Property was perfect for our 3 night stay & we will definitely be back !! Thank you .

Very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped holiday home in a good location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

We keep returning back to this property, so that speaks volumes for how much we love it.

We love the views, the area of Llanbedrog, the proximity to the sea and the comfy bed to mention just a few things! It's an amazing base to come back to after a day out in the mountains or on the beach. Can't wait to return again!

Lovely little cottage in a wonderful location.

The views from the lounge out to sea are breathtaking. Everything you need for a home from home stay. Plenty of cutlery and crockery, dishwasher a massive plus and a brand new washing machine which meant we were able to clean our sandy clothes. Would highly recommend. The owners were on hand to help and easily contactable as well as being incredibly helpful.

Lovely property in a great location.

This is our 3rd stay now at this property, it is in an amazing position overlooking the sea and mountains.

It is well equipped with comfortable beds and just a short walk to the beach. This year we saw Dolphins at Porth Neigwl (Hells Mouth), that was a very special moment!

Just returned from a week in llanbedrog, we feel completely rested physically and mentally but most of all spiritually, the view from the balcony is so good for the soul !

The bed was jolly comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, this is our second visit and we will be back !

The property needed tlc in some areas.

Shower room in double was water damaged, door had no internal handle. Couldn't get hot water in shower. Main bathroom old fashioned. The whole place needed some decoration. No indication that freezer was in cupboard on top of washing machine in entrance. Freezer is in dire need of defrosting and is in danger of falling through shelf onto washing machine. However, kitchen well equipped, lounge really comfortable and an excellently situated property. Water lovely and hot. Though shabby in places, cleanliness bedding etc. excellent. Would certainly consider visiting again.

Very nice place to stay with wonderful views.

Very convenient for beach & has all the facilities you could possibly need for a family holiday. Thank you, thank you for sharp knives in the kitchen. As someone who likes to cook this is the first accomodation I've ever seen with a decent selection of knives for cooking!!! Might need to update bin instructions, couldn't find them at first. They are a bit tucked away behind the garages. We wished we had booked to stay longer.

The most wonderful property and most wonderful stay!

Exceeded all our expectations! The view was stunning and property well equipped, clean and comfortable! I don’t think you could find a better stay in the magical area of Llanbedrog - thank you for being such kind and understanding hosts x

Amazing property and views.

Garage really handy for the bikes etc. Shame the weather didn’t play ball. Highly recommended

Lovely property and fantastic view from the living room whatever the weather.

We’ve stayed many times out of season as there are so many walks to explore in the area.

Great location for exploring, house and patio very nice .

minor moan electric showers

Amazing place with beautiful sea and mountain views.

Amazing walks right on the doorstep. Sunrises were stunning and in the evening the moonlit bay was breathtaking. The property was well equipped and warm for our November visit. Owner was very helpful and we will definitely stay again.

Excellent location, close to pub, shop and beach.

Accomodation was spotless, very comfortable with stunning sea and mountain views. would definitely return to this property.

Absolutely beautiful place, drinking coffee on the balcony every morning looking at a sea view, pure bliss !

Perfect cottage to take our fur babies, short walk to the beach with a great beach bar , you need to be fairly fit, will certainly return!

Lovely.

Our friends used the double and felt some of the en suite bits were worn or corroded. Some lids for the pans and we couldn't work the coffee machine. Great views nice balcony.

Nothing wrong with holiday let but not suitable for elderly folk with mobility issues.

Too far away from car park to property, bins too far away from property also. Love Llanbedrog but needed to be on the flat. Also - no egg cups

This is the perfect place for a family holiday.

So close to the beach and local amenities. Both the restaurants and pub are lovely to eat at. House has everything you could need and has the most stunning views. Will be booking again.

Enjoyed a lovely stay and have already booked again for next year.

Very relaxing and balcony had great views. Perfect spot to explore local area or just walk down to the beach and enjoy a nice meal at beach bar. Paul

Clear instructions to get to property and house was exactly as described.

It had 3 lovely big bedrooms with a wonderful view from living area out over the sea - perfect to watch the sun rise every morning. Large Sky TV was a good addition and kitchen was fully equipped (including coffee machine and air fryer). Highly recommend this property especially if you have a dog as the nearby beach and pub are perfect to visit.

We had a lovely time even though the weather wasn’t too good, but it didn’t keep us in and it was November.

We did find the stairs up to the lounge hard work, perhaps due to the fact we are 67 and 73. We found it very dark at night , it was a short walk to the car and there were no lights on, the apartment had no outside light, and being November we seemed to be the only people staying in that part of the complex so there was no lights coming from other properties. We did have a small torch but I didn’t feel safe walking this path at night ,perhaps again due to our age.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was very comfortable and there was a new and well-equipped kitchen. The view from the house is absolutely amazing - you could never tire of it.

We had a fantastic stay at the property.

It is in a great location with fantastic views from the balcony. The cottage had everything we needed and we would definitely return.

Perfect holiday house, fabulous living area with wonderful views.

Equipped thoroughly. Very comfortable beds. The owners and the lady who cleans clearly want you to feel welcome and have a lovely holiday. Beautiful location. Thank you so much.

Absolutely loved our stay here.

. location superb and lovely cottage … if I had to be picky the only fault and it is being picky was the stairs .. defo would return

Only one peace of advice.

I would recommend some form of gripping material on the stairs they are worn and can be slippery with certain foot ware.

For us and our dog it’s a wonderful place to stay out of season with excellent walks around the area .

Claire was very accommodating and the little gifts were a delight . All in all we had a throughly relaxing fortnight. Would highly recommend.

The house was perfect for our weeks holiday, it’s got everything you need and the view from the balcony was beautiful, would definitely stay here again.

It was my second time staying in this house and I have to say it was again a total pleasure.

The house has all you need and is kept to a high standard. The sea view from the balcony is very welcoming and the owner of the property is very friendly and attentive.

The property is in need of a deep clean.

The general work surfaces and appliances in the kitchen were OK and main bathroom amenities and towels/bedding, but throughout the house, there was a general build up of dirt and dust that has obviously not been touched in months, with cobwebs everywhere. You simply had to look at skirting boards, around window frames or under/next to any piece of movable furniture to see that these had certainly not been cleaned prior to our arrival. In the current time, it is inexcusable for cleanliness to be in question and given that Sykes sends a lengthy email prior to departure about cleaning round the house prior to departure as guests (fair enough), there can be no excuse for the house not to be spotless for new arrivals, especially at the price charged. I had text the owner a day after arrival to raise this issue and sent multiple photo examples. The response was apologetic and she arranged for the cleaner to return. However, on the cleaner's return, instead of addressing the whole property, only the specific photo examples were wiped over (this included filth blocking the extractor fan in the shower, sand and food remnants under and around the sofa and dirt along rails and the stairs). After the cleaner's visit, we heard nothing from the owner to check if we were happy with the house. After already messaging the owner on day 2, it became apparent that the ensuite shower was blocked and again, should have been noticed prior to arrival when being cleaned. Either the cleaner did not clean properly or simply did not care about the issue. We did not wish to spend our holiday going back and forth on these issues, so made use of one shower and enjoyed the beautiful view from the terrace - this is stunning and was the best part of our stay. The house otherwise is in a nice location and has decent appliances and amenities for a family stay. After our departure, I had a further exchange with the owner and in short, she implied it was our fault if parts of the house were dirty or a shower drain blocked because we did not specifically raise it point by point. A complaint of a generally dirty house should not ever have been required- does Sykes not require properties to be at a certain standard of cleanliness ? It was a real shame as with a deep clean, this is a cute property in a lovely area with a spectacular view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would happily stay there again.

it was helped by the fantastic weather though! The location is great and the house is ideal for a holiday stay. Bedrooms are roomy and it comfortably sleeps 6. The upstairs, in particular the kitchen is quite compact but has everything you need. The view is absolutely stunning and it was great to just relax on the balcony. The only issue I would raise is that the balcony table only has 4 seats and the house takes 6 people. Also it would be a squeeze to have 6 adults upstairs if the weather wasn't great and you had to stay inside. We were two adults and 2 tall teenage boys and it we managed perfectly well. We would love to return.

Appliances have obviously been renewed, which is good, but could do with updating instructions.

Took me 3 days to find the freezer!

Great location for Llanbedrog beach, shop and pub.

Accommodation a little tired as others have said but functional and a great base. Our girls enjoyed the wild rabbits in the garden!

The place is a great location and it was clean.

However I would like to suggest a few things that need to be improved:- Wallpaper hanging off the ceiling in the hallway not good Bath panel broken Beds too soft and one slopes so not the best nights sleep. Overall I think the place needs updating quite a lot as I imagine when it was first done it was lovely and you could freshen it up to make it lovely again. I do not believe it was worth the money we paid but that was due to peak season, you could get a lot better accommodation for that price in the same area. Overall though we had a lovely time, it is a great base, the owner was lovely, balcony view lovely, just decorate it again, replace the mattresses, and get rid of musty smell and it would be perfect.

Great cottage in a lovely location.

Everything we needed was there. The views from the cottage are fantastic, the photos really don't do it justice. It's definitely somewhere we'd come back to again.

Wonderful views from the living room

Stunning views from the living area.

The upside down accommodation works well. Easy walk to the beach and with a pub and shop in the village it is ideal. Lovely cafe in the art gallery.

My boys and I had a fabulous stay at the property, to walk upstairs to that view was stunning.

My only moan was that there’s no outside tap for wetsuits and beach things but thankfully the bathroom was just near the front door. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay in comfortable cottage with my wife and 2 kids (4&7).

Great sea views and terrace for barbecues.

Lovely house with fabulous views .

Clean and tidy and prosecco on arrival. Furniture and fittings a bit dated now. Bed coverings dated . Bathroom hot tap not working so couldn’t run a bath. No outside light. No mirrors in second two bedrooms. Although lovely house and views fantastic - overall needs improving

Well maintained , comfortable with lovely veiws .

King size bed would be brilliant.

..our fourth time in this lovely cottage..but double bed is overdue a replacement..view is glorious no matter what the weather!!

Location, view, comfortable lounge and terrace.

Very nice place to spend weekend with family. All facilities except we couldnt get the stove on top of oven to come on. And no hairdryer provided, didn't think of bringing one.

An excellent family property that has all facilities needed for a great week away!

Our second visit to this lovely cottage,12 months on and a number of items still not addressed.

...think the vendor could do with a week or so there to realise its failings..Its still a lovely cottage,in a beautiful location,with fantastic views..

Lovely house which we have stayed in before.

Very clean and superb views with comfortable beds and good quality towels . Very spacious with balcony. The only thing I would say is that there needs to be an outside security light. I walk late with the dogs alone and it’s extremely dark .

Firstly I would like to say how lovely Claire the owner of the property is, very helpful!

The cottage itself is bright and airy with lovely views of the sea, even though we had little sun I still sat out with my coffee in the morning to take in the views. The property is clean and very homely ,fantastic for an evening in after a long day of coastal walks. The local village is very picturesque and a pleasure to walk through down to the sandy beach or up the mountain to a sculpture overlooking the sea. The village also has a nice local pub and is only 3 miles from the centre of Abersoch. I loved our few days again so much that I have just re booked for the Easter holidays!

Would be good to clarify where exactly cars are supposed to be parked.

On arrival parking was at a premium especially as we had 2 cars & several other properties were occupied.

We had a lovely time and the property was in a lovely location, with beautiful views.

The property itself was clean but I am disappointed to have to report some negatives. There were 4 of us and we had expected to have 2 bathrooms, but the shower in the en-suite was not working The owner said that someone should have been to fix it on Friday morning but they should really have checked that it had happened. There were no basic products on arrival i.e. toilet rolls, washing up liquid, tea-towel, just basic cleaning products in general. If we had been informed that they would not be provided then we would have ensured we took them with us. I have not stayed at a property, as yet, where these were not provided on arrival, most owners have even provided a welcome pack. The bin top was also broken. I just think it is the attention to detail that makes the difference and feel it necessary to report it.

It's a lovely, modern upside down house with a large balcony with tremendous views.

I love the layout, had a slight problem with the washing machine but the owner went out of her way to get it sorted asap. Relaxing break, very peaceful. There's a good range of dishes, cutlery, pans. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved sitting on the veranda looking over the sea.

Everything you needed was in the house.Only thing was we had to carry the dog up and down the stairs and put him on a lead to go in garden.Had a great hol and beach a was lovely.

Superb upside down cottage with lovely sea views.

Only downside was the 'enclosed' garden which isn't actually enclosed and we couldn't really let the dogs out unless they were on leads. If it was enclosed it would be perfect.

Lovely location very near to beach and amenities.

We had a very good holiday and were lucky with the weather. One or two minor issues regarding open tread stairs and our little dog but fortunately we found ways around them. A comfortable place to stay.

We enjoyed our selfs beach near for the dogs did a lot of walking cottage just like the pictures

Beautiful property with fantastic view.

Very modern bedrooms , great facilities. Short walk to the beach and the pub.
