What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely few days in the Cow Shed, using it as a base to explore the area.

  It’s brilliantly quirky, has a MASSIVE reception room for the number of beds, a well equipped kitchen and a largish enclosed garden (note it has a wide metal gate to the garden next door so enclosed but not private). The description isn’t accurate on a few points and needs reviewing & updating with a few more photos - the spiral staircase to the loft is in the bedroom and is steep and narrow, plus the loft is also open to the lounge so be aware of a lack of privacy and noise travelling from the kitchen/lounge to the loft. The garden was bigger & better than expected with great views, but unfortunately the outside bath/shower weren’t working, nor was the hob in the garden kitchen area. Also the foosball table is hidden away in the field and in poor condition. The directions were great making it easy to find, though trying to find the non existent key safe was a little confusing. Communication with the owner was good, there were a few bulbs out and they got these sorted quickly and at our convenience. Summary: A few things stop it being brilliant, rather than just good - we will consider going back as a couple with dog rather than with friends, or if there is a larger group renting some of the other properties at the same time. Thank you for a nice stay.

  This is a truly lovely place.

  It feels that you are in the middle of nowhere but are not far away from all of the amenities and fun if you want it. The lodge is lovely and the outside seating is great and very substantial. The beds are very comfy, especially the main bedroom. Water pressure and showers perfect! The view is to die for. It is so very peaceful. I would definitely want to return. Just a few niggles, but nothing that would make me not book here again; the road is extremely bumpy with potholes on the national trust lane, we were surprised when we got there as there was a car parked on the drive next to the lodge and we thought the cleaner was still there, however, it was the tenants of the cottage below, this was not a problem but we were not told. There weren't many large cooking pans, but that sounds sad as there was a bbq and places to eat out, although there was some privacy if the cottage below was very near you could hear them, we were fine as there was a lovely young family there who also wanted privacy. Their little dog came into the lodge a few times, but we found that funny. However, we were warned by the owner about this and to keep logs on a lead. Overall an amazing place and perfect if you want to book both the cottage and the lodge!

  I almost don't want to tell people how good this place is incase it's full all year and I can't get back there!

  What a fantastic place. The lodge is decorated beautifully, so light and fresh with everything you need and more! I had been looking for a place that had to tick a fair few boxes to accommodate my parents and our pooch, which wasn't easy but Sunstone lodge ticked every box and exceeded our expectations. With four adults and a dog we never felt on top of each other as there is plenty of space. A fantastic sized garden for the dog which is completely secure and gated so he had plenty of space to mooch about it in safety. Super clean, very well looked after, comfy sitting room, comfy beds, great showers and everything you need in the kitchen. Surrounded by so much wonderful wildlife and the best views of the beach and the coastlines. The furniture on the decking is super comfy you can sit and look at the amazing views for hours. There's lots to explore around the lodge and a coastal path on the doorstep. This really is a wonderful place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone. We've stayed in a lot of lodges but this is the first one we've found that will be going back to and we can't wait! Even the dog is a little sad we are back home. 5 stars

  There were positives and negatives.

  Positives: The quietness was wonderful and the space. Negatives: 1.The place was unloved. 2.The furniture was in dis-repair I took loads of photo's to share, but not sure where to post. The cutains were ripped and two chairs and a sofa were all ripped open. 3.All the kitchen equipment had to be cleaned before use .The tin opener was broken and no cork screw. 4.No welcome on a arrival only a man stuck his head out of the car to say enjoy when we arrived. 5.There was no allocated bin for our rubbish and all the other bins were spilling over with beer cans. 6.There were beer cans on the field in front of our sccommadation. 7.The outside bath wasn't working and it had green algae inside the bath.When I turned the water on the pipe had burst and water was everywhere. 8.The outside was totally over grown with weeds and the outside kitchen was filthy dirty you couldn't cook anything. 9.The barbaque had old coals inside and was rusty. We paid £640 for the stay ....such a disappointment we were so looking forward to resting in luxury after working for a year without a holiday .We will not be returning

  A lovely little cottage about 100m away from the marina. We stayed with our two sons and our dog Cassie. Whilst it is a very small cottage, it served all our purposes as a base to explore the region. The beds are so comfortable and the pillows so good that I had to peak to see what make they were in the hopes of getting some for at home. There is a terrace with seating which really captures the sun from early morning until late in the day, but there is a very steep step access way to this, so beware with elderly or little ones. There are a couple of beaches within walking distance, easily accessible shops and pubs and some lovely dog walks. I thoroughly recommend the Jewel in the Crown Indian restaurant. The best Indian takeaway food I’ve had both at home and away. Once in the car, the surrounding area is beautiful. Lots of beaches to visit and sights to see. Our favourite day was a 4 hour coastal walk to Porthdinllaen and back where we were fortunate to see some seals.
