Outstanding is not the word. Well equipped, brand new spotless interior, and the views- just go ahead and book - see for yourself! Owners acknowledge bits and pieces to do with the gardens but not a problem to us.

A fantastic property with spectacular views. A great location in a lovely part of Wales. We would definitely book again. Furnished to a high standard and very comfortable. When the sun shone it was idyllic.However access would be difficult for anyone not fully fit. There were items that didn't function properly, the DVD remote for example and it contained batteries that had corroded. Keeping an eye on items like this is always going to be difficult in a rental property.

+ Great location and wonderful views. + Very clean+ WiFi good- Kitchen appliances / utensils a little dated and tired. - Mattress in en-suite bedroom absolutely past it's best (the springs have given up)- TV in the lounge not the best either (approx. 32'). I would expect a decent size smart TV with USB ports etc for a property that has a rental cost of >2000 / week in peak season- Sofa seating in the lounge is not adequate for up to 7 people.Lastly, whilst the steep access to the property is declared on the website, this should not be underestimated!. The steps from the bottom gate are in need of attention. It's very slippery when wet and the steps are a combination of mud / grass and stone (more stone is required to reduce the risk of slips). Not for the faint hearted.

Thank you for your review, we are sorry that you felt the property was not quite up to standard. although we are clear on the drive and access to the property we will look into maybe tweaking the copy to make it clearer. Your comments have been passed to the owner. Glad that you had a good week.

Reply from: Quality Cottages Team

Please see the owners reply to feedback

As promised, we have now conferred with our co-owners and are replying to the points raised by this guest as follows: Kitchen utensils a little dated and tired: As a minimum we visit pre and post season and replace kitchen utensils and equipment as necessary. For example, we bought new saucepans and a new kettle in the last year. This complaint needs to be more specific to be taken further. We have a “damages and problems’ book where guests can note any issues like this and our caretaker then takes swift action. To date no-one else has mentioned this. In fact, most people say how well equipped the house is. Mattress in the main bedroom: We agree that a new one is needed and will be replacing it as soon as practicable. TV in the lounge: We consider a 32” TV to be perfectly adequate. The guest comments that the Wi-Fi is good. We do not want a “monster” TV dominating the sitting area nor do we feel we should be providing an entertainment centre. There are books in the house and of course all the local activities available in Snowdonia including walks even in the rain! Seating in the Lounge: As far as seating not being sufficient for 7 people, the family booked for 4 people: 2 adults and 2 children. That comment can only be hypothetical therefore and not based on their experience. The property has been accepted by your local representative and by VisitWales as being well up to the standard required for accommodation up to 7 people. In the sitting area, we have 2 sofas: both 3 seaters, 2 single upholstered arm chairs, 1 other single chair with cushion and a “pouffe”!! the guest seems to imply that we need a third sofa but this would take up too much space in the sitting area. To date, (since 2009), we have had no complaints about inadequate seating from any group of 7 guests. Steep access and steps to lower gate: We would say that potential clients have been adequately warned through your brochure about the steep access to the house. We reinforce this in our Information Folder in the house where we describe the drive as being not for the fainthearted (our exact words) and advise on alternative parking places. Therefore I do not think we underestimate this issue! We agree that the steps to the lower gate have deteriorated somewhat and need attention. We have already arranged for this to be done as soon as possible.
