The property is generally regarded as clean, with several reviews highlighting its tidiness. However, a few guests mentioned the presence of dog hair, which affected those with allergies, slightly lowering the score.

The location is highly praised for its scenic views and convenience to local attractions such as Caernarfon Castle and the coast. Its quiet, rural setting is also appreciated, contributing to a high score.

Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy atmosphere and the well-designed space for large parties. The presence of ensuite bathrooms adds to the comfort level.

The facilities, including the games room, are well-received, but some guests noted a lack of kitchenware and suggested improvements in cooking facilities. Maintenance issues like wobbly toilets and door handles were also mentioned.
