Property in general was satisfactory however some areas require improvement.. Sofas are quite uncomfortable and would benefit from the cushions being refilled. The bed in the large family room is uncomfortable and would benefit from a new mattress. On a practical level the main bathroom would benefit from a main shower as accessing the ensuite when a large party can be tricky. Quite a few light bulbs out so no lighting in the hall, easy to resolve. Ensuite shower blocked so would recommend checking in between guests.
Good location for accessing Abersoch.
