"Just had a lovely stay."
Bed was so comfortable, loved the fizz and off road parking was a bonus. Just the relaxing break we needed. Explored the local area and found some little gems. Its the unexpected places and people you meet which makes it all so fascinating.

"Holly Cottage is a very comfortable and homely accommodation."
It is well equipped, has a beautiful bathroom and bedroom with a cosy living room and a nice sized kitchen. It is private and yet near to the main road, shops, public transport, beach and all other amenities. It is also a good base to be able to explore the wider area with brilliant accessibility to attractions further afield.

"I have stayed at this site previously and it is just right for my needs."
Knowing the area well, it is ideally situated for the places I visit. I stayed in early spring when the weather is still changeable and knowing I would be going back to a warm and comfortable premises after a day out in the rain and cold was comforting. The welcome gift of a bottle of wine was also much appreciated. Will definitely be looking to stay again in the summer when I venture North again.

Major weakness was outdated washing machine with no drier, albeit a rack for drying wet clothes. At the price charged something better would be expected

"The driveway was awful for the parking due to a 7ft wall, narrow entrance,could not see to get out safely onto the main road, also could not see it there were any pedestrians approaching."
We'd like to point out to any future guests that the entrance to Holly cottage was extended earlier this year by over 2 ft allowing ample space in and out. We are sorry that Mr Tolmie found this difficult to do. This issue has never been reported by any previous guests.

"The cottage is lovely at first sight BUT as we settled in there were one or two things that we noticed."
1. The small settee is so uncomfortable and creaky. It may be OK for very small people but not large enough for two tall ones.
2. At first sight all looked really clean but the mould in the bedroom and bathroom plus the lower down dust on skirting boards, bed frame and chairs worried me. I appreciate it is the end of the season and cleaners only have a certain amount of time to tackle main cleaning jobs but mould is not good.
3. The internet was useless. I take it this is a problem for everyone, but BT should be doing a better job.
THIS PROPERTY HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULLY RENOVATED FOR 2020. Thank you for your comments, and for staying at our little cottage we will certainly look into the points.
You raised and take action to improve the comfort and cleanliness for all our guests, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.

"Starting with the positives, 10 out of 10 for location, ideal for visiting lots of places and lively walks around criccieth."
The negatives the cottage isn't really a cottage it's a box. Yes we expected cosy which is fine but we wanted warm, homely and comfortable. This wasn't. The long list of do not do things didn't bode well. Damp and cold, we woke up to damp clothes even tho we had excellent weather we did put the heating on although the weather didn't warrant this. The bathroom is damp and in need of a revamp. No shelf in the shower to put anything with the sloping floor everything ended up in the shower tray! The kitchen is adequate but couldn't really cook a meal from scratch. Sorry Sykes this isn't really up to your usual standards but we did have a lovely time visiting this area despite the moans.
THIS PROPERTY HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULLY RENOVATED FOR 2020. It's very disappointing to hear that you didn't find the cottage as cosy as other clients have, and that you were unable to cook a meal from scratch as the kitchen is fully equipped to do so, if you needed any additional items they could of been provided. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts about the shower, we will look into putting a shelf in. We have not had a guest who has stayed in the lodge mention about it being damp and cold so I'm sorry to hear you feel this way, we will take a look into this further. However, we're happy to hear that you found the location and surrounding areas lovely.

Only criticism was lack of towels - 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel each for a week. There was nowhere inside the cottage to dry towels - fortunately the weather was good and we could dry them on the washing line outside.
