I have given you a low 'recommendation to others' rating due to your reticence to offer customers a full refund on their bookings if desired in the light of covid restrictions earlier in the year.. This was totally unacceptable and I gather you were the only British holiday company not prepared to offer full refunds until forced to do so by the government. However, it was my choice with Groes Newydd Bach to reschedule my visit and this worked out very well and you were efficient in sorting this out. The cottage owners were extremely thorough in their extra preparations and care of their visitors and caretakers and cleaning of the cottage was thorough and well organized.

The property is well situated between the countryside and sea and is ideal for visiting Harlech, Portmeirion, Criccieth, Barmouth, Dolgellau, the mountains to the north and the deep slate mine at Blaenau Ffestiniog.. A washing machine would be a useful addition.

Sold us on North Wales, having not enjoyed it twice before Mind you the weather on the trip up was with us pretty well all week! We explored Lleyn Peninsular, went to Bardsey Island, Harlech, swam from the beach S>W> of the castle, Went to Beddgellert. Wonderfull scenery. Mountains, rivers streams and couldn't get over how fertile and progressive the land was on the peninsular. Oh and the lake, church and lanes behind the cottage were womnderfull, go slow, see the countryside and be aware of passing places, it is VERY narrow!. We did prefer the short route to the cottage, from the main road rather than the longer more scenic? from the village with a Honda dealership.

Loved the cottage.. Not sure if you already know but the ivy is growing through the bed room window frame it could cause some damage we had it happen here at home.

It would have been helpful to have had some soap in the bathroom when we arrived.. There was also only a small amount of toilet roll. Otherwise it was cosy with good views of the bay & hills through the trees. The walk up the hill to the lake takes just a few minutes & further up the hill there are fantastic views. Very peaceful.

We had an lovely weekend at Groes Newydd Bach.. Beautiful house with a view to complement, little lane going up from the main road just to note. A very short drive to the main town of Porthmadog where there is a beautiful harbour, ideal to sit with fish and chip on an evening. Plenty of walks and things to do in the area, main attraction being Zip World only a 20 minute drive away. We cannot wait to book again for the summer, thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely time at Groes Newydd Bach, and met our expectations.. Two small gripes - lack of space to walk around the bottom of the bed, making it difficult to make the bed. Realise the bed is placed facing the window for the view, but when in bed you can't really see the estuary. It appeared that if the bed was turned 90 degrees, and it was 'alongside' the window, there would be more room to move around the bed. Currently, the bedside cabinets would not fit, but if slightly smaller cabinets were used, I consider this would work. Secondly, please change the heating from storage heaters to another form of central heating. The house became very warm from about 3 - 4am, and then quite cool in the evening, despite using the 'boost' on two of the heaters.

Mrs Wright

The location was truly stunning and we were very sorry to leave on the last day.. A truly stunning location, with beautiful views all around and a tranquil setting. Wonderful.

We have had a wonderful relaxing weekend at Groes Newydd Bach.. The views are breathtaking, the local area is fantastic for walking (particularly with our dogs who loved the beaches) and the cottage itself is cosy and warm when we returned. The break was exactly what we needed and sitting by the woodburner quietly writing Christmas Cards was the perfect antidote to the stress of the build up to Christmas.We would highly recommend this cottage and we intend to return.

Wonderful cottage in a quiet rural location.. Good off road parking, with easy access to all of North and Mid Wales. The cottage itself is warm, cosy and clean with a very comfortable bed and bath. The kitchen although small has everything you need for your holiday except a washing machine which was not a problem for us. We slept like logs all week with the windows open to take advantage of the peace and fresh night air. Amazing to hear the owl hooting in the night and we got a dawn chorus of birds outside the window. The owners and caretakers are very approachable and friendly who will sort any problems or queries really quickly but leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace. Even though it was a cottage which took dogs we did not find any evidence that a dog had previously been there. Can't wait to book again for next year.

Lovely cottage nice area, king size bed very comfortable lovely bath and hot water,good shower.. However it was generally dirty there were quite a few cobwebs the walls were dusty and the hard floors looked as though they needed a good wash.This could be easily put right with a good spring clean.

Had a lovely holiday cottage very clean and we had everything we needed road to .... Had a lovely holiday cottage very clean and we had everything we needed road to cottage was a bit scary for first few trips but once you got used to it was fine

Ms Churchill

The scenery was amazing as well us the utter lack of traffic noise.. The cottage was well worth the drive through some very steep and narrow lanes, although we rarely encountered other traffic and there were passing places. Occasionally a sheep wandered into the garden and we saw so many birds in the garden; it was lovely to see so many different types.

Mr Bennett

The cottage was lovely, well maintained, We found it a good base for most destinations, Portmerion and Porthmadoc both within 10 mins, small village with fish and chip shop, Indian and Chinese takeaways just across the bridge.. Fantastic views , . a lake just around the corner . The lane up to the cottage was only a cars width but did have several passing spots. We would definitely go again.

May 2018

This cottage was excellent very clean, well equipped (even had a dog bowl) and very comfortable.. It had a lovely bathroom and was also perfectly situated and the views over the estuary were fabulous. Go further up the lane over the cattle grid and see the lake then fork left and go up to the gorgeous old church and see the views from there. We would happily recommend this property and will hopefully stay there again. No complaints it was perfect.

As this property is pet friendly it might be worth considering laying more stepping stones across the grass to avoid excessive muddy paws in wet weather..

The cottage has a beautiful location, plenty to see and do in this area of North Wales.. from gardens to trains. Recommend this location for walks as well.

The house is in a wonderfully peaceful location, great for walking as there are so many routes close by and it was also fantastic for access to Portmeirion and Porthmadog.. The house was perfectly set out with more than adequate pans, crockery and utensils. The bathroom was outstanding!
