  • "We had an amazing stay."

    The views are really beautiful and the steps are a small price to pay for such a view. Communication with the owner was very good.

    !! Beautiful house in an excellent position to make the most of its amazing sea and harbour views. House is so comfortable, clean, and fully equipped with everthing you need. Great communication from Dan, and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Can't wait to return next year.

    Definitely worth those steps! We had a lovely stay with family and a couple of dogs. House is in a very convenient location near to all facilities. Thanks to Dan for all the information before, during and after.

    Location was perfect and the views were to die for. Communication with Dan was extremely easy and check in instructions very easy to follow. Upon arrival, the property was clean and tidy and even received complimentary wine, snacks and dog treats. The dogs had a lovely time and the area was perfect for them. Highly recommend and will hopefully be returning in the future.

    Glad you all enjoyed your stay - including the dogs of course. Barmouth really is a dog friendly location! Property Owner

  • "Windycroft is an amazing property."

    Set into the cliff with an amazing view in all directions, this is a perfect house to stay in Barmouth. Full of character and very well equipped, it has everything you could wish for. Amazing walks, literally on your doorstep and the quaint town if Barmouth, a five minute walk. On an evening, you can sit outside and just take in the quiet surroundings, thousands of stars, gentle lapping of the sea and watch the bats swooping for insects. You may even be lucky enough to see an owl! We will definitely be back to Windycroft... the 43 steps up to the property may be too much for some, so bear that in mind. Highly recommended

    Thanks For the lovely feedback Steven. The description is perfect! Property Owner

    The house is in such a perfect spot for the town with stunning views out to sea . He has thought of everything even down to a kite and binoculars being provided . We (5 of us stayed in August ) all thoroughly loved the house and could have stayed forever ! We had plenty of room to have individual time and rooms were big enough for us to enjoy together also. The parking permit was very handy too. I couldn't fault it ands would highly recommend it .

  • "Windycroft is in a fantastic position overlooking the harbour."

    As per the description there are a few steps to get up there but it's well worth it, the views from the lounge, dining room and 2 front bedrooms are spectacular. You really don't need a TV (although there are plenty!), just sit and watch the overchanging view as the tide comes in and out. Very comfortable and well equipped and plenty of good eateries in easy walking distance. All in all a perfect spot for a great holiday.

  • "This property is exactly as it looks in the images online."

    It's really lovely. Homely, clean, welcoming and most importantly has comfortable beds. The views are stunning. The steps up to it are pretty steep but worth it. The nearest car park, which is at the bottom of the steps is £8 for 24 hours which we thought was reasonable, or you can use the pass provided and park a bit further away for free. Communication with Dan was great. He's really helpful with any questions you have before going. Would definitely book again.

    Thanks Tracy. Once you get up the steps the views make it worthwhile - you get used to them too. They don't seem bad once you've been up more than once! We hope to have you visit again. Glad I could be helpful too :-) Property Owner

    The house views are stunning, the interior is super clean, extremely comfortable & it has everything you could possibly need. The property is very quiet, feels remote & yet is less than 5 mins to a good selection of pubs, cafes & shops. Dont be put off by the steps or the slight walk to the long stay parking - the house situation & outlook more than justifies these very, very minor inconveniences. Communication with host Dan was warm, informative & non-intrusive (via email, SMS & phone) & was a great example of personal customer service. Myself, wife, kids & dog can’t wait to return ;)

    The house itself is well furnished with some thoughtful touches throughout. The views are stunning from the front of the house and we spent every morning and evening just watching the boats bobbing about in the harbour. Yes the steps up to it aren't ideal, but it's not that many and completely worth it when you get to the top, I counted 42, so not that many really. We used the parking permit to park on the large carpark near the beach which is a welcome addition to our holiday not having to pay for parking. We also used it when we went visiting other towns by using the list that was given to us, proved very helpful and is a thoughtful touch to be included in the stay at this property. Overall we were extremely impressed with our stay and the hosts were very helpful and communication was great. We look forward to visiting again soon. X

    The house was very clean, homely and had everything we needed. The views were amazing, they look good on the photos but are even better in real life. We loved sitting on the seats outside and watching out over the harbour and town below. The house is just around the corner from the Barmouth bridge and one of our favourite days out was walking across it to Fairbourne spending the day there and then getting the train back. Even on our one rainy day we didn’t feel like we were missing out by staying in as it was so cosy sitting and looking out of the windows. I think it would be a good house to stay in at any time of year. Yes there are steps up to the property but the views you get once up there easily make up for this and if you carry on up the steps there are walks you can go on and even more extensive views. The owner was very helpful and responsive and we would definitely stay again.

    Thank you for the lovely comments, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the house as much as we do. Property Owner
