  Lovely apartment, clean, comfortable and good location.

  I would have given it 5 stars but the situation re parking needs urgent addressing so I'm onky giving 3 in the hope it will help get that sorted. When we booked the adjacent pay and display car park (owned by the Harbour Authority, who also own this apartment and the others in the complex) was advertised as costing around £5 or £6 for 24 hours. We have previously used the car park when visiting Caernarvon and budgeted accordingly. However on arrival we found the car park now costs more than triple that expected cost - almost 4 times that actually. Anyone booking until this issue is sorted should bear in mind that to park in the car park daily could add almost £150 to the price of the weeks rental. There are other parking options a reasonably short walk away but we found that quite inconvenient. Really there needs to be a parking permit included in the rental cost - owners should either up the price of rental and include a parking permit or declare this hidden cost. Overall the apartment is lovely but it is very overpriced when you factor in the extortionate parking costs. The Restaurant in the complex, La Marina was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed eating there and definitely recommend. It was very quiet most nights, probably the car park pricing is having an effect there too. The caretaker at the complex was very helpful. Told us all we needed to know, a very nice man. As other reviews have stated there is no information about how to use the appliances in the apartment. We worked it out OK, buy clearly previous residents hadn't as the dishwasher was clogged up having had the detergent tablet forced into the rinse aid compartment so maybe placing some information about how to operate things will help them last longer! Would we return? Yes - if parking issue is addressed, otherwise there are better options that are more luxurious and cost less.

  The owner has obviously worked hard on this property.

  The cottage is beautiful with modern facilities and is spotless. However, the owners have still kept its old cottage feeling. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you would ever need. Nice lounge area with large sofas and a good choice of tv viewing and full internet access. Beautiful logburners both in kitchen and lounge unfortunately we did not know how to use them and didn’t really need to as the property was warm enough when we visited. Comfortable bedrooms with master on suite. It is very welcoming with a lovely garden with picnic bench and the summerhouse was lovely. Nice area for sitting out with a glass of wine in the sunshine of an evening. For us, with dogs I thought the fencing in the garden was a bit too low as the property is on a busy main road. However, you could keep them on a leash if needed and ours are well behaved. When booking we was not aware of the busy road which is constant even through the night. I would not let this put you off because the property is lovely and in an ideal location for exploring the area which has lovely beaches for walking and close access to the coastal paths.We really enjoyed our stay at Sweetholme lovely cottage in a lovely area of Wales. We would have given five stars because the property is worth it but it was the road that we was not aware of when booking. You still have a lovely place.

  The Cosy Cabin is an absolute Gem!

  The pictures are beautiful yes, but to be there and witness it first hand they just don't do it justice! It's been an absolute sanctuary to come home to after our crazy adventures of days out Gorge walking, Kayaking, Zip lining beach days and the beautiful Caernarfon Castle and nearby beach towns and gorgeous pub lunches. The views from the Cabin inside and out are absolutely breathtaking. The gorgeous lush woodland in front, the mountains either side. The Sea in the distance. Plus our neighbours for the week the cows in our' field were a joy to watch. They even let us feed them some grass! They were excellent entertainment for our young son who loved to also feed and pass them the hard to reach wild flowers growing just out of reach of the ones they had already devoured. We have never stayed anywhere with such beauty all around us! We are already re gigging next years plans to get an extra trip back here. The owners should be extremely proud of this place and what they have done with it! I will be recommending to all our friends and family ✨️❤️

  We had a great weekend.

  Fantastic location, quiet and peaceful. Lots of beaches nearby to explore with our dogs. Cabin (wooden cladded caravan) VERY small, bedroom and bathroom particularly cramped for 2 adults of average size. Double mattress has been placed on a smaller bed frame making it impossible to open the wardrobe doors and felt like sleeping on a jelly. Very difficult to manoeuvre around each side of the bed. Had to cut off some brambles to enable us to negotiate entrance door and laurel hedge badly in need of a trim. Overall inside was neat and tidy but in need of a bit of a polish. Some blinds were broken or missing completely. There was a BBQ but no utensils! Which didn’t stop us from BBQing, just had to improvise with kitchen cutlery (not ideal). No kitchen tea towels but other linen of good quality. We really enjoyed our short stay mainly due to the outdoor space, location and good weather but sadly we won’t be coming back. Compared with other similar properties in the area consider this to be very overpriced.

  The owner Maureen is lovely and welcoming.

  The property has lovely views looking out towards the Snowdonia mountains from the large paddock adjacent to the walled garden. The garden and paddock is fenced off, where dogs can roam free, but need to be on a lead outside the farm gate where the sheep are. Between the gates the gravelled track is a sharp incline and quite a walk. The property is very warm and has good heating and hot water. The bath doesn't have handrails so my hubby had to opt for the shower. The 2 toilets are a bonus, the induction hob takes some getting used to as we had never used one but instruction books are left underneath. I felt it could have done with a bigger fridge, we couldn't fit everything in and it was low down. It feels remote but you soon get out in a couple of minutes onto the A4086 4 miles to Caernarfon where there are plenty of supermarkets etc I would recommend this property and would stay again but for the 8hr journey it took us.
