"Fantastic views over the village from the living room and front bedroom."
A lovely warm little cottage much appreciated with some of the stormy weather we had.

"Ceris is a lovely property in a great location for exploring the Welsh coast and Snowdonia."
The bungalow is clean and comfortable and has been modernised to a high standard. It has the added bonus of beautiful views to the front over the valley and a big garden surrounding it which ensures privacy and peace. We loved it and would hope to return sometime.

Amazing property would definitely stay again, only thing was the wasp nest on the shed so we kept having to get the kids away from there but other than that beautiful home and garden

"This property has everything you require and more, comfortable clean and in a quiet location, the only thing that would definitely be an advantage would be to manage the tree line so the narrow guage trains are more visible, also the lounge would benefit from a larger screen TV."
Otherwise a brilliant place to stay
Thanks for the great feedback we left the hedge for nesting birds in the spring. Hedge has now been cut and train is visible.

"Fabulous location, views to die for train through the back garden amazing."
Bush outside room window needs chopping down as blocks some of the view, needs more outside seating, slight musty smell in front bedroom but saying all that we would definitely stay again as it's so handy to visit the north of Wales.

"1. There was a general lack of cleaning materials to keep the house in a clean and hygienic state, eg no anti-bacterial sprat, inadequate tools for cleaning pans, etc."
2. The lighting in the lounge and back bedroom was completely inadequate to permit reading anywhere reasonable in the rooms.
3. There was a general lack of hooks anywhere, eg nowhere to hang tea towels to dry in the kitchen (yet plenty of places to provide them, clothes in the bathroom.
4. A lack of cutlery to facilitate efficient use of the dishwasher - 5 knives, 6 forks, 8 tea spoons) - an extra set of cutlery would pay for itself in a few weeks as it would reduce water and electricity use through fewer cycles of the dishwasher..
5. The kitchen knives need sharpening! (As pointed out in the feedback in the Visitor Book some time ago!)
6. We were unable to return the keys to the key safe, as the bunch simply prevented that safe from being closed - also, I struggled to open the door on the key safe as the spring was so strong - it should be recognised that older people have less strength in their fingers.!) We had to remove the front door key and put that in the safe and leave the rest of the keys in the house.
7. Waste paper baskets in the bedroom would be beneficial.
8. A hook to hold the back door open when the weather is warm would be appreciated.
9. There was no indication as to what to do with food waste - other properties in the area appeared to have food caddies. It is unacceptable to dispose of food and compostable material in general waste in today’s world!
10. The instructions for the TV were completely inadequate - we spent more time trying to select programmes than actually watching them.
We offer these as suggestions, not complaints! We have our own holiday cottage in Cumbria and over many years have realised what makes an adequate property somewhere really comfortable and usable.

"Very clean and comfortable."
View from the living room is fantastic. Great garden for our greyhound to run round. Only downside was lack of washing machine and a freezer.

"Ceris is a lovely holiday cottage to stay in."
Conveniently close to facilities but out of the way enough to be quiet.
The welcome pack of tea coffee sugar milk and Welsh cakes was much appreciated.
The only one improvement would be a washing machine.

"The property was very good."
The bed linen and towels nice and clean and fresh. Hot water never a problem. Issues with TV which lost its signal but eventually found a solution. When we were there the bins were not collected. The gardens are secure for dogs.

"Very pleasant to stay at this property, with most requirements provided."
Good shower, comfortable beds and very clean throughout.
Welcome Welsh Scones a lovely touch and very tasty.
Information folder a little out of date and lacked that personal touch which other property owners leave.
Good weather, but no umbrella for the table, so no shade and lacked outdoor seating, as the picnic table is not comfortable or suited to everyone.

"The garden is great size but it needs a step from the patio down to the grass perhaps with a rail/handle."
There isn't a washing machine either so take extra for laundrette in Porthmadog. Had a few issues 1st week and although I called Sykes and owner dealt with things but I'm not sure we'd return. The bottom oven door doesn't open all way and you can't move the shelves in oven. However the beach at black rock sands is dog friendly and goes on for miles, the trains running at bottom of garden were good, the neighbour has a horse roaming between one side and other field which runs along bottom of garden there is fencing and bushes inbetween if you have dogs that are reactive.

"The front bedroom smelt very damp and fusty/musty."
The back bedroom had a damp patch, in the corner near the window.
The showerknob was a bit difficult to pull upwards and water then went every where. Possibly a new shower head required.
Other than those issues, we had a very relaxing stay.

"Beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped with all that is needed."
Very pleased with our week at Ceris, would recommend and already have done so. There was only one down side to the cottage, the rear garden is only 90% fully enclosed for dogs. Not a problem for us, but I think if you had a younger, more inquisitive dog, it could well be off exploring. All in all, a brilliant week, great location with matching views. Many thanks.

"The cottage is in a pleasant and quiet location, well laid out and with all the facilities you could require."
The wifi speed and performance was excellent. Visitors should be aware there are some single track, narrow roads on the approach to the cottage from the village.
The one niggle was the shower - this was an mixer style tap without a thermostatic value which mean it was difficult to get a comfortable, consistent temperature. The mechanism to select the shower rather than taps was also stiff and difficult to operate.
