    “Llwyn Gwalch is a lovely, comfortable and beautifully appointed cottage which provides a perfect base for exploring this amazing area.”

    You really do feel that you’re staying in a home from home. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. However, there are a few health and safety aspects.

    You really do feel that you’re staying in a home from home. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. However, there are a few health and safety aspects. The windows were all locked with no keys ( no fresh air/ emergency exit) , the fire extinguisher was 13 years old, the steps at the back of the property were very unsafe ( particularly for older visitors) and there was no visible PAT testing on electrical items. We had to put the bins out which were absolutely full so very heavy, not ideal for older visitors. I don’t want to dwell on the negatives because the positives totally outweighed them and we would be more than thrilled to return and would like to highly recommend Llwyn Gwalch.

    Thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed staying in the cottage but am baffled by some of the comments you have made. Our home is managed by Sykes who ensure we uphold all H&S legislation. I've just checked the invoice for the BSI Kitemarked FSS 1kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher, CE Marked Fire Blanket and First Aid kit that I bought on 14th June 2021. All remain unused, and fire extinguishers have a lifespan of 10-13 years. We also get the property PAT tested every 18 months - again through Sykes, (we only need to do this every 5 yrs). I'm going to share these documents in the visitors book in the living room to reassure future guests that your comments are not accurate. We pay for a full housekeeping service so guests don't need to put the bins out, but thank you for doing this. I'll put a note on the listing to point out that our short-cut to the beach includes steps. Beach road is of course steep as they tend to be, but there is a National trust car park by the beach that can be accessed by car in about 2 minutes so there are options for all. I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay, but please do make sure that your feedback is factual before you post. What you have written suggests our home is not safe to stay in, in which case why would you also wish to return? Your comments could be hugely off-putting to future guests, damaging to us and neither true nor fair. Property Owner
