We were quite disappointed with the back garden as it could do with a makeover several slabs were uneven and could be quite dangerous, most of the garden furniture needs replacing as seating was broken in the middle and others were covered in rust. As we had some lovely sunny days I thought it best hang out the washing but the fixtures on the wall were broken. It doesnât mention that the back garden backs onto the main road which can be quite noisy with speeding traffic, it would be far better if the council could fit speeding humps along this road.

The bungalow offers all the main comforts you could wish for. We visited Aberdaron, Criccieth and Beddgelert where we had an excellent Sunday roast at the Saracens Head Hotel. The bungalow is in an ideal position for walking to the beach and we can recommend it for an enjoyable family break. Sheila, Flintshire.

It was very clean and well equipped. The rear garden was suitable for my autistic granddaughter. Not over stimulating and fussy. The owner was very helpful and kind. Would definitely go again.
