"A wonderful stay, the views from the balcony and the master bedroom are spectacular and the photographs don’t do it justice."
It was lovely to arrive and find not only essentials (milk, bread, butter) but also oft-needed items such as laundry capsules, dishwashing tablets etc, as well as some added treats and some beautiful daffodils throughout the house, which were much appreciated by all and a lovely touch. The accommodation (every room with en-suite and the family room with bunks) is some of the best we have stayed in. We have extended family in the area and will certainly be back, its position for being able to walk into town is fantastic. Thank you for a great stay in your beautiful home!
Thank you for your super, positive response and we look forward to your return visit in the future. Property Owner

"It was a family holiday with 2 sets of grandparents, our children and grandchildren to celebrate New Year."
We chose the house as it gave us all a bedroom with en suite and plenty of space to be comfortably together and relax. The house was a very short walk from Canarfon and the castle and although the weather wasn't great we did manage to get out without moving the cars. Only thing to mention is that the recycling from the previous guests hadn't been collected so we had to leave ours I bin bags beside the recycling boxes (sorry about that, maybe extra boxes needed when the house is full). We all enjoyed the time together and the house very much.
Thank you for your positive comments about the house and its location within a short walk to the centre with all its facilities. Regarding the recycling bins, they are normally collected weekly but this collection was due between Christmas and New Year, so was obviously missed. We do have spare recycling boxes and would have happily put them out ,if the guests had rung. Property Owner

We loved the dining room,where we had a lovely Christmas dinner, so much space for all 10 of us. The house is beautiful,and was beautifully decorated for Christmas.Thankyou to Mary for all the extras, Christmas cake,crackers, chocolate and snacks for the kids. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely book again. Many thanks Ann
Thank you Ann for your kind ,positive comments. Looking forward to seeing you again . Happy New year to you and all your family. Property Owner

"Lovely property, ideal for family gatherings."
Lots of extras left which was a nice touch. Supermarkets and town close by but house is in a quiet area. Owners Mary and Andy are nearby and were quickly there to deal with issues (not due to them). Had a great time which would have been better if the weather had been kinder.
Thank you for your positive comments about our property. Lovely to meet you. Property Owner

"This property is in an absolutely stunning location, the house is very comfortable and exceptionally clean, the kitchen is the best equipped holiday rental we have ever been in and we have been in a lot!"
! Would thoroughly recommend Caernarfon it is a beautiful place to visit. Unfortunately one of the bridges has been closed to travel to Anglesey and traffic was horrendous, we only went the once. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you for your kind and positive comments. Property Owner

"Stayed for a week from 9th September."
Can’t fault this property, had everything we needed, was clean and big enough not to be tripping over each other’s feet. Very quiet location but a stones throw from the town. Would definitely return without hesitation. Thank you. (To the owner…. I’ve noticed we’ve returned with a dog blanket that’s not ours. I will send back to you asap.)
Thank you for your positive comments and for returning the dog blanket. We look forward to your future visit. Property Owner

"The family went for the last week of August."
The house is really nice and had everything we needed. Caernarfon and the surrounding areas are beautiful. Most of the shops welcomed our little dog and one lovely man gave her a Teddy. The beaches and views are stunning. I highly recommend a visit there.
Thank you for your kind comments about our house and the stunning scenery where we are lucky enough to live. Thank you for your recommendation for future guests to stay at Preswylfa. Property Owner

"We had a very relaxing stay here and would recommend."
Everything was as listed, the property is spacious, homely and the area is quiet. The view from the bedrooms and balcony is beautiful, especially when the sun sets. Shops are a short walk away and there is plenty to do in the local area and beyond. Would recommend others check out Dinas Dinlle beach, parts of it are dog friendly, it is picturesque, very clean and a 15 minute drive away. If you can, go up Snowdon, the views are incredible. For anyone who loves art check out Life:FullColour art gallery, which is in the town. They have different exhibitions and are super friendly. If you have a sweet tooth, then head down to Ridiculously Rich at the marina and The Black Boy Inn for a pint. The key safe was the only tricky bit. 2 adults couldn’t open it, luckily the teenager could!
Thank you for your kind comments and your recommendations for visits . Also thank you for your recommendation for others to stay at Preswylfa. Property Owner

"Preswylfa is a wonderful place in a great location."
The house is clean with everything you would have at home. We were even left some essentials (milk, bread, chocolates etc) for when we arrived. I would recommend it to everyone.

"It has been amazing experience."
Everything was on point with some minor error. Yet, 10/10 for overall.
Thank you for your feedback. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Fabulous holiday home for a large group."
Views of the coasts from the house were amazing. Plenty of space for everyone to relax and be together comfortably. Facilities in the house were very good. Providing items like washing tabs, soap and dishwasher tabs were an added bonus (guests always forget some). However, I would suggest providing an extra frying pan would help guests cooking for 10. The ovens took longer than usual to cook items, extra oven shelves and shallow baking trays would help future guests. Location excellent, short walk into town and lots of supermarkets really close by too. A great find, highly recommend
Thank you for your kind comments about the house and providing all the extra items. We have noted your comments about the kitchen items and have now put in an extra frying pan and and two shallow baking trays. Co-incidentally the cooker was down for its yearly service last week and and has passed its safety certificate with flying colours. Property Owner

"Absolutely fabulous house."

"Thank you for the lovely stay in your holiday home."
We had everything we needed. It was very comfortable for our two families, with plenty of space. We loved sitting outside and watching the sunset over the bay. We took nice walks into town along the path near the estuary. Thank you for the recommendations of sights to see. We had a perfect day walking along the cliffs at Trefor and saw pods of dolphins. A perfect holiday, thank you.
Thank you Nicole for your positive feedback. I am so glad you found the recomendations for walks and places to visit so useful. Just a small point your reference to the estuary is actually the Menai Straits which is the stretch of water which runs all along between Gwynedd and Anglesey and makes Anglesey an island. Property Owner
-
"Great property, lovely location."
Great view of the estuary from the balcony and front rooms.
Thank you Ceri for your positive feedback. The views and sunsets are spectacular at this time of year. It gives us so much pleasure to see so many families getting together and using our house as their base. Property Owner

"The property is fantastically located just a few minutes walk from Caernarfon centre with lovely views."
It is very comfortable to stay in with great common areas for eating and hanging out. It is well equipped with most things you would need to stay a week. It even looks fresher in person than it does in the pictures. That being said, the place is very tired. The bathrooms particularly need updating. I wouldn’t advise staying with a toddler as the lack of stair gates, doors at just the right height and not quite heavy enough and bunk beds make for a very challenging weekend!
-
"This is a great place to stay, my only disappointment was if you stayed for a week or more there are no baking/cake tins, mini blitzer( blender,) scales, I am being picky, wet day entertainment with children ."
-

The house was equipped with every basic things .We were given all the relevant information of the house before our journey so it was very easy to find everything.We are very impressed and would definitely recommend this place for holidays
-
"The house Preswylfa where we stayed was absolutely amazing, the house was very large, the views are fantastic and this house had everything you would expect in your own home."
We went as a couples retreat away from the kids and do to some walking. There was many walks around the area but we decided on Devil’s Kitchen, this was supposed to have iconic views from the top but the weather did let us down as we did have to turn around 150 meters from the top due to high winds. But it was a great experience and we’re coming back next year to complete. The town nearby is also a lovely little town with plenty to do and everyone is so friendly. Overall a great weekend. 5 stars for me.

"The house was great there were a few points the could do with looking at."
Blinds in the dining room would be nice as there is no privacy the entire room is on display from the footpath on the road.

We thought it was a lovely touch leaving the basics (tea, coffee, milk, butter, bread), chocolates and wine for us for when we arrived.

"The place was really nice and comfortable."
There was lots of spaces for our group and didn’t feel cramp up even for a big group. Everything you need was there in the house, we were glad as there were tea and coffee, bread and butter ready when we arrive as we were starving and tired from long drive. The location was perfect as the shops are just around the corner. The view was magnificent as well. We enjoyed our stayed and will definitely come back again
