“This feedback sheet is too either/or.”
In fact the house exceeded our expectations in some respects. For instance the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment (I found everything I wanted except large jugs for water and a garlic press!).
Also there was a very good selection of DVDs.
However, in other respects the house did not meet our expectations. Specifically:
The main blinds in the front rooms (living room and bedroom) did not work. (The owner tried to help-A man came but couldn’t fix them on site.)
The main living room only had two comfortable chairs (the winged chairs). The L shaped settee and the large round chair were too soft to be comfy.
The hot water in the taps was set at too high a temperature.
There were no locks on bathrooms, the doors of which were also a bit stiff and didn't shut properly.
The front door lock didn’t work properly.
On a more general note, I would have liked to have seen the floor plans for each floor before booking. The en-suite bedroom was really too big (two rooms in one) and the attic rooms were too cramped. And the lack of a downstairs toilet and another bathroom is difficult for larger groups.
The outside space had a very good dining table and chair set but lacked privacy (people walking to and from the beach looked in at us). Outside space was too small, not enough grass and nowhere for ball games. A basketball net would have worked there (and been welcome.)
More information on local facilities eg shops/restaurants and on what was available in the house (eg toilet paper, soap, dishwasher and washing powder) would have been welcome so we didn’t feel we had to take the ‘kitchen sink’ but when I emailed the owner to ask she did give us most of the information we needed.
Would all those particular and general problems have outweighed our decision to book? No, because the capacity was what we needed and the location was close enough to the beach, which is what we wanted.
I hope that Feedback is useful rather than too negative. We did enjoy our stay in Nefyn and would love to spend time there again.
