“We had an amazing stay.”

The views are really beautiful and the steps are a small price to pay for such a view. Communication with the owner was very good.

“We just love Windycroft so much we've stayed there twice this year !”

!! Beautiful house in an excellent position to make the most of its amazing sea and harbour views. House is so comfortable, clean, and fully equipped with everthing you need. Great communication from Dan, and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Can't wait to return next year.

“What a wonderful house, and that view!”

Definitely worth those steps! We had a lovely stay with family and a couple of dogs. House is in a very convenient location near to all facilities. Thanks to Dan for all the information before, during and after.

Thanks for the great feedback. Really glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Selina September 2024

“Loved this property!”

Location was perfect and the views were to die for. Communication with Dan was extremely easy and check in instructions very easy to follow. Upon arrival, the property was clean and tidy and even received complimentary wine, snacks and dog treats. The dogs had a lovely time and the area was perfect for them. Highly recommend and will hopefully be returning in the future.

- Selina, September 2024

Glad you all enjoyed your stay - including the dogs of course. Barmouth really is a dog friendly location! Property Owner
Steven August 2024

“Windycroft is an amazing property.”

Set into the cliff with an amazing view in all directions, this is a perfect house to stay in Barmouth. Full of character and very well equipped, it has everything you could wish for. Amazing walks, literally on your doorstep and the quaint town if Barmouth, a five minute walk. On an evening, you can sit outside and just take in the quiet surroundings, thousands of stars, gentle lapping of the sea and watch the bats swooping for insects. You may even be lucky enough to see an owl! We will definitely be back to Windycroft... the 43 steps up to the property may be too much for some, so bear that in mind. Highly recommended

- Steven, August 2024

Thanks For the lovely feedback Steven. The description is perfect! Property Owner
Ian August 2024

“We loved it was beautiful and comfortable and would recommend Windycroft!”

The best accommodation I’ve stayed in close to the facilities in Barmouth and the most amazing views. Would love to return to this property and lovely part of Wales.

- Ian, August 2024

Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the future :-) Property Owner
Julie August 2024

“Dan the owner was incredibly helpful and friendly .”

The house is in such a perfect spot for the town with stunning views out to sea . He has thought of everything even down to a kite and binoculars being provided . We (5 of us stayed in August ) all thoroughly loved the house and could have stayed forever ! We had plenty of room to have individual time and rooms were big enough for us to enjoy together also. The parking permit was very handy too. I couldn't fault it ands would highly recommend it .

Andrea July 2024

“Windycroft is a beautiful house, clean and comfortable with stunning views of Barmouth Harbour.”

We had a lovely stay here.

Louise July 2024

“Fantastic holiday accommodation.”

The views were spectacular and definitely worth the climb( which wasn’t that bad!). Dan was very responsive and ensured our stay went smoothly. Will hopefully be back soon!

- Louise, July 2024

Thanks Louise. So glad you enjoyed your stay and the amazing views. Property Owner
Marcus June 2024

“Lovely house with amazing views!”

Perfect location to explore either by car or train journey. Great communication with owners and everything you could need for a relaxing break.

- Marcus, June 2024

Thanks Marcus. Review much appreciated Property Owner
Carol June 2024

“Windycroft is in a fantastic position overlooking the harbour.”

As per the description there are a few steps to get up there but it's well worth it, the views from the lounge, dining room and 2 front bedrooms are spectacular. You really don't need a TV (although there are plenty!), just sit and watch the overchanging view as the tide comes in and out. Very comfortable and well equipped and plenty of good eateries in easy walking distance. All in all a perfect spot for a great holiday.

- Carol, June 2024

Thanks so much for your feedback Carol. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Tracy June 2024

“This property is exactly as it looks in the images online.”

It's really lovely. Homely, clean, welcoming and most importantly has comfortable beds. The views are stunning. The steps up to it are pretty steep but worth it. The nearest car park, which is at the bottom of the steps is £8 for 24 hours which we thought was reasonable, or you can use the pass provided and park a bit further away for free. Communication with Dan was great. He's really helpful with any questions you have before going. Would definitely book again.

- Tracy, June 2024

Thanks Tracy. Once you get up the steps the views make it worthwhile - you get used to them too. They don't seem bad once you've been up more than once! We hope to have you visit again. Glad I could be helpful too :-) Property Owner
Rachel May 2024

“Great property!”

Close to the town amenities, but also away from the bustle with a birds eye view of the harbour - amazing views! Everything we could think of was provided at the house and the welcome basket was a thoughtful touch. Great place to explore North Wales from.

- Rachel, May 2024

Thanks Rachel, glad you thought the location was perfect. You really do get the best of both worlds, feeling like you're close to everything with all the privacy you could ever want! Property Owner
Victoria May 2024

“Windycroft is a really beautiful place, other reviews said it felt like home and I was pleasantly surprised to feel that way too.”

When it came to the end of our stay I felt I would have liked to extended my stay to 2 weeks if I could have but it is a popular place and for good reason. I really enjoyed having the fresh air from having the big doors open in the bedroom in the mornings. The property is very clean with brilliant facilities, It is the best place that we have stayed at so far, I would definitely staying again. The property owner Dan was very nice, friendly and considerate, hes kindness was much appreciated. Thank you x

“Just had our best ever stay in Barmouth at Windycroft !”

!! The house is beautiful and in an elevated position that gives the most amazing views over the harbour and sea. Fully equipped with everything you need, clean and very comfortable. Close to beach and all amenities. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and great communication from Dan. Can't wait to return and would highly recommend.

- Alison, May 2024

“5 ⭐️ views from the accomodation, which was very clean and well equipped.”

3 good size bedrooms and a kitchen with plenty of useful items. House was tastefully decorated and living room very cosy. The house is in a perfect location for exploring Barmouth and surrounding areas and we had a great week stay. We would definitely recommend for families or couples and we will hopefully return.

Sheree April 2024

“What an amazing house, felt so relaxed as soon as we arrived.”

Perfect location, a few minutes walk from the harbour, beach, shops and pub. The views are just stunning from the living room, dining room and bedrooms. The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Especially loved the welcome pack, a lovely touch. The bed was so comfortable and we slept so well the whole holiday. It’s definitely the best place I’ve stayed in Barmouth and hope to stay again. Are a few steps to climb but worth it to get the views. Definitely felt fitter by the end of the holiday :)

- Sheree, April 2024

Thanks so much Sheree. So glad you felt relaxed, we love to hear that our guests feel at home. Look forward to welcoming you again in the future :-) Property Owner
Maria March 2024

“Windycroft was a wonderful place to stay.”

Views were amazing. The property was very clean, and provided everything we needed for our stay. Communication with Dan was brilliant and we wouldn't have hesitated in contacting him if we had any queries. We didn't need to as it was so well organised. Probably the best place we have stayed in. As described and better. The welcome items were a lovely additional touch. Would definitely recommend.

- Maria, March 2024

Thanks Maria, we appreciate hearing great feedback . So pleased you found it as wonderful as we do. Property Owner
Stephen March 2024

“Had a fantastic few days at Windycroft, and as one review has already noted, it’s even better than the pictures!”

The view is breath taking, so close to town one way down the steps, and up the steps fantastic walks. Good mix of pubs and restaurants, shops and beach that goes on for miles. Dan was super helpful, and responds very quickly if any questions, and had good knowledge about the area and what to do. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

- Stephen, March 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay and pleased to be able to help. Thank you for the lovely feedback Property Owner
Nadine March 2024

“We loved our stay at Windycroft.”

Such a beautiful house in a stunning position. The views were spectacular. Everything has been thought of, the extra touches such as dog dishes and even dog shampoo were great. The welcome basket was a real treat also, thank you! Windycroft was so comfortable we didn’t want to come home. Would definitely recommend, 5*

- Nadine, March 2024

Thanks Nadine. So glad you enjoyed your stay, we love hearing great feedback Property Owner
Christine February 2024

“We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Windycroft.”

The property was just as described and was lovely and clean. The views from the property are well worth the climb up the steps and the location gives great access to the local eateries. The communication from Dan was great and the welcome pack was much appreciated.

- Christine, February 2024

So glad you had a lovely stay. Thank you for the wonderful feedback Property Owner
Neil December 2023

“Had a fantastic stay at Windycroft with the family & found it a great place to relax, unwind & be creative.”

The house views are stunning, the interior is super clean, extremely comfortable & it has everything you could possibly need. The property is very quiet, feels remote & yet is less than 5 mins to a good selection of pubs, cafes & shops. Dont be put off by the steps or the slight walk to the long stay parking - the house situation & outlook more than justifies these very, very minor inconveniences. Communication with host Dan was warm, informative & non-intrusive (via email, SMS & phone) & was a great example of personal customer service. Myself, wife, kids & dog can’t wait to return ;)

- Neil, December 2023

Thanks for the great feedback. Always happy to help and look forward to welcoming you again in the future Property Owner
Lindsey November 2023

Hazel November 2023

“We spent a week here in November.”

It’s wonderful. The views are spectacular and the house itself is warm, quiet, well equipped and very clean. Comfortable beds and sofas. You could live here. The host, Dan, is very responsive and gave some great recommendations. Highly recommended.

- Hazel, November 2023

Kelly October 2023

“Such a wonderful property in an ideal location in an ideal location.”

The house itself is well furnished with some thoughtful touches throughout. The views are stunning from the front of the house and we spent every morning and evening just watching the boats bobbing about in the harbour. Yes the steps up to it aren't ideal, but it's not that many and completely worth it when you get to the top, I counted 42, so not that many really. We used the parking permit to park on the large carpark near the beach which is a welcome addition to our holiday not having to pay for parking. We also used it when we went visiting other towns by using the list that was given to us, proved very helpful and is a thoughtful touch to be included in the stay at this property. Overall we were extremely impressed with our stay and the hosts were very helpful and communication was great. We look forward to visiting again soon. X

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future! Property Owner

Vctoria September 2023

“Had an amazing time here, very comfortable and gorgeous views.”

We have stayed in Barmouth every year for the last 4 years and this is by far the most reasonable, best value for money property that we have stayed at and you'll be hard pressed to find better views. The owners were great and efficient and really welcoming. The gift pack on arrival was a lovely touch. Everything you needed was available at the property too that you could need. Don't be put off by the steps, there are only a few and it's totally worth it!

- Vctoria, September 2023

Thanks for your great review. Totally agree the views make the steps worthwhile :-) Property Owner
Jeff September 2023

“A tastefully furnished and comfortable property with a wonderful view.”

Sitting on the terrace watching the light change and the tides come and go was very relaxing. Excellent communication from the owner Dan who was very friendly and helpful. Informative and helpful welcome pack.

- Jeff, September 2023

Thanks for the lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Clare August 2023

“Absolutely fantastic few days.”

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at Windycroft. The photos online don't do the place justice. The views are absolutely stunning and the decor in the property is beautiful. Our host was incredibly helpful, great with communication and provided really useful information regarding the area. Would 100% recommend. Thank you.

- Clare, August 2023

Thank you for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and glad I could be of assistance. Property Owner
David August 2023

“My two sons and I had a lovely week at Windycroft.”

The house was very clean, homely and had everything we needed. The views were amazing, they look good on the photos but are even better in real life. We loved sitting on the seats outside and watching out over the harbour and town below. The house is just around the corner from the Barmouth bridge and one of our favourite days out was walking across it to Fairbourne spending the day there and then getting the train back. Even on our one rainy day we didn’t feel like we were missing out by staying in as it was so cosy sitting and looking out of the windows. I think it would be a good house to stay in at any time of year. Yes there are steps up to the property but the views you get once up there easily make up for this and if you carry on up the steps there are walks you can go on and even more extensive views. The owner was very helpful and responsive and we would definitely stay again.

- David, August 2023

Thank you for the lovely comments, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the house as much as we do. Property Owner
