House and facilities were great in a fantastic part of the world.. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils. The views from the upstairs lounge are stunning even on a misty day and the accommodation in general was generously proportioned and very clean. We love Borth y Gest and will book again when we can.

We enjoyed the peacefulness of Borth-e-Gest and the views from all the front windows of our cottage and as the sun was shining we were able to sit at the front for breakfast and lunch.. The cottage was so convenient to visit other places of interest and was home from home. We will return.

Living in the village ourselves, we were looking for additional accommodation to house relatives who were flying in from overseas to visit a gravely ill member of the family. Being in the almost unique position of being able to identify and visit rental properties in the village, we opted for 5 Ivy Terrace on the basis of website reviews, a drive by (and a good old fashioned peek through the windows!) The property is great for large families (with a separate lounge upstairs should the need arise) with everything you need to hand. If I had to nit-pick I would point out the need to clean the external windows on a more frequent basis as they were extremely grimy and detract from one of the major selling points of the property, this being the view. This aside, this really is a fantastic place to stay and is thoroughly recommended.

First class property, let down by quit cover on pull out bed could not be used due to being unclean (large amount of hair on cover)..

Mr Baldwin

July 2016

A fantastic location and excellent standard of accommodation! Everything we needed and more was provided in the cottage. The gardens at the front and rear were excellent. There was plenty of parking on the roadside and adjacent car park and two superb restaurants within a few hundred yards! One week was nowhere near enough to do all the area has to offer, we're going to need at least another month there! Overall a great experience and can't wait to get back there ASAP!

Mr Buckler

The location and the views from all four of the front rooms, the front terrace and the balcony are beautiful. Hours can be happily spent people, tide and weather watching. The sea and mountain views are ever changing. The village is also very peaceful at night so ideal for folk with a young family. Loved the beaches just around the corner and along the coastal path. The house is very well kitted out with both home comforts and technology.

Mrs Sutton

May 2016

This property is a home from home; pleasing, clean and suits all our needs. The area is perfect for a relaxing holiday, with plenty of beaches and walks.

Mrs Davies

April 2016

From the moment we entered the property it felt like we were home. The house was extremely comfortable, relaxing and located in a very scenic and quiet peaceful place. We would almost certainly visit this property again in the future.

Ms Alhadef

What a lovely town and what a lovely cottage! The house was nice, well equipped and comfortable. Thank you to the owner for sharing this nice place.

Ms Dunn

November 2015

We loved the upstairs lounge overlooking the views and the flexibility with the bed settee, large living space downstairs and the downstairs shower room as well as upstairs bathroom. The stair gate was a very useful addition too.

Mrs Coulson

September 2015

The location is great, with lovely views across a peaceful bay and a great base for touring Snowdonia and the Lleyn area. A very comfortable and well equipped cottage, and so clean - a real pleasure to stay at.

Mrs Hartell

July 2015

Could not have wished for anything more. The furnishings were of good quality and the whole place was more like a permanent home, rather than a holiday let.

Ms Wilcock

Beautiful cottage in an ideal location.

Mrs Hoy

June 2015

The location, the viewing lounge on the first floor and the attention to detail of how the house is stocked and kitted out is amazing. We have now booked the same place for the third year running; a truly excellent holiday home.

Mrs Houghton

Mrs Cash

October 2014

The upstairs sitting room overlooking the bay was wonderful. A bonus was an excellent restaurant next door and a cafe within sight! Walks straight from the cottage were interesting and easy.

Mrs Blundell

An excellent location with the beach on the doorstep. A good use of space; we were 4 adults, a toddler and a baby but didn't feel on top of each other. It was nice to sit and have breakfast outside looking at the harbour and there was a great view from the upstairs lounge. The house felt very family friendly with games and beach toys provided. Would use this house again.

Mr Harding

September 2014

Well furnished and with a fabulous view

Ms Roberts

August 2014

It was very welcoming, a home from home and the facilities were excellent. It was very clean with lots of extras, for example, games and DVDs for the children. It's a fantastic location, even on dull days, the views are excellent. The children loved the bay, the beach, the harbour and the steam trains in Porthmadog.

Guest

Beautiful cottage, tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, with a glorious view and sandy beaches within walking distance.

Ms Weller

Mr Bass

May 2014

Great views from the cottage overlooking the beach.

Mrs Hyatt

The house was comfortable, clean, warm and well equipped. There was a huge selection of books and games, including books to be read to a toddler. The views were stunning and there were beautiful coves and beaches within easy walking distance.

This is the second year we have rented this house, it ticks all the boxes. The house is excellent and the location is great, with a beach around corner for all to enjoy. Nice walk into Porthmadog so not having to use the car is a big advantage. We have already booked for next year!

Mrs Blatcher

Lovely comfortable cosy, well equipped cottage with stunning views. Highly recommended.

Miss Durrant

March 2014

The location and views were stunning. Sitting on the balcony and in the window seats overlooking the water was perfect. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the area - we were able to climb mountains but also do coastal walks. Really enjoyed having the coastal path and beautiful beaches on the doorstep.

Mr Wilkins

January 2014

A lovely peaceful holiday in a relaxing location. We have known and loved Borth y Gest for over 30 years.

Beautiful experience in a great location , we can't wait to go back and retrace our week in Borth y gest . Accomodation first class with every consideration catered for , and right on the coastal walk route with amazing views . A short walk in to Porthmadoc and a short drive to many small but beautiful towns , you won't be disappointed

5 Ivy terrace is a lovely property with plenty of room for our group of 8 friends. The location is perfect, quiet and scenic but just a short walk from the livelier Porthmadog. The house is well equipped with a large kitchen and living area. The decor is lovely and the views are great, especially from the top of the lovely garden.

Jane R

8 of us stayed here for a long weekend, it was perfect for our trip. We were doing some walking and touristy things in the area and this was a great base. We spent as much time in the cottage as out, and it was great for us all to sit round, eating and drinking. Plenty of room, lovely bedrooms and great outside areas - we sat in the front on the patio eating breakfast in the morning and out in the huge back garden in the evening looking at the views. I highly recommend this cottage and will be staying again with family in future.

March 2013

Peaceful location with a beautiful view.

Mr Crossley

December 2012

Superb location, very helpful owner and lovely house. Well equipped!

November 2012

We had a fabulous week at Ivy Cottage. The location is perfect - overlooking the bay and next door to an excellent eaterie. The cottage itself is very well equipped with TVs and Dvds in every bedroom, and every amenity provided in the kitchen. The owner is helpful and friendly if needed.

October 2012

A truly lovely property in a fabulous spot.

Mr Friend

September 2012

The location was superb, the house had a beautiful view which we never tired of even on the rainy day we had. Also we found that you didn't have to travel too far in the car to make use of the local attractions.

Mr Harris

August 2012

The location was fantastic - and the property was ideally situated, comfortable and very well equipped, with brilliant views over the bay at Borth y Gest and the estuary beyond. We had a lovely family holiday and would certainly consider booking the property again.

Mr Gettings

July 2012

We loved the location, the view out of the windows was great and the village was lovely. North Wales is a great place to visit. We had an excellent meal at the Moorings Bistro. The beaches in the area were also very nice.

Mrs Dent

The situation was perfection, right on the water's edge, at least almost! The restaurant next door was fabulous, ate there several times, in fact our last night drinks were on the house!

Mrs Davis

February 2012

The property is set in an idyllic part of the world, stunning views of the coast and in a pretty little village. My family were the first to stay at the cottage and were warmly welcomed by the owners who couldn't do enough for us. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and finished to such a high standard, the original photos on the site do not do it justice. The log burner gives the front room a real cosy feel and as the weekend we went was a wet one it was nice to come home to. I would highly recommend this cottage and don't think anyone would be disappointed on arrival. The small quaint restaurant next door, 'The Moorings' is a must.
