Shower fixture loose. TV remote control dirty & sticky. Fire didn't light. Cooker light and expel - air not working. Garden fence collapsed thus unable to put out bins. (Owner informed but nothing done during my stay.) Both recycling and non- recycling bins full from previous occupants. Sofa covers covered in dog hair and cushions in need of coverings. A dirty plate among clean ones in the cupboard. Wi-Fi signal too weak to work. Generally, tatty and unwelcoming. I had to clean the patio with a new stiff bristled broom, replace the expel - air fuse (3amp - like for like - a set of which I had to buy) replace a light bulb... and try to clean the sofa covers and trim some of the overhanging roses in order to use the patio. I informed the owner of some of these issues during my stay and after my return, but was told by the owner that they were too busy to take the feedback at that time and didn't offer any other time in which to do so. A real disappointment.

Just a few little niggles. The French doors onto the patio area are really difficult to close. An issue the owner has said is being resolved soon. Privacy screening on the front door would have been nice. Felt like we were in a goldfish bowl when people walked past during the day. Unable to park close to the property due to time limits on every road. Nearest free parking is on Embankment Road near Wetherspoons. Free parking 24/7 and only a 10 minute walk back to the cottage. Plenty of good takeaways within walking distance. All in all a lovely place to stay.

The town itself is very cute with several nice, local shops (we particularly liked the hippie shop) and plenty of places to stock up on supplies, including Asda, Lidl, Iceland, Hone Bargains and B&M. We didn't find many dog-friendly pubs, however, and only one (The Bar) allowed dogs inside. We therefore drove to nearby Abersoch and Nefyn when we wanted to eat out. I was initially a little nervous as the previous couple.of reviews were so negative, but it was clear when we arrived that the owner has worked hard to address the reported issues. The cottage was clean, warm and tidy, there was plenty of equipment and the water in the shower was warm. My mither-in-law, who is 94, said the bed was very comfy (we had to bring her along at the last minute and she struggled with the stairs, but had little need to use them as there is a downstairs loo).The garden was beautiful and the smell of the roses absolutely divine! Regarding parking: there is no parking by the cottage itself, but I had no trouble finding a space every night, two street away on Fforde-Y-Maer. All in all, a very enjoyable stay. We would happily stay here again.
