Richard October 2024

“Lovely property,fantastic views from this Tardis like bungalow comfortable beds,we had two very cold mornings and extra heating via a fan heater in living room to give the small convector a chance to warm up would be welcomed.”

A drier ln the snug at rear of garage for wet days would be useful. But over-all a lovely stay and have re-booked for next year.

- Richard, October 2024
Miar September 2024

“Wonderful bungalow with fantastic sea views.”

You can hear the sound of the waves all the time. Plenty of parking. Great for dogs - but keep them on a lead in the garden as there is no fence.

“Cosy cottage in an amazing location with beautiful views.”

Wonderful morning dog walks on the beach and surrounding area. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the sitting room very cosy with the wood burning stove which we did use on one day which was particularly wet and windy. The kitchen was very small but a good sized fridge/freezer and very well equipped with everything you would need for any meal, plenty of lovely crockery and glassware. Our only problem was the garden, we had dogs with us and although the listing did state that it wasn’t enclosed due to gaps in hedge, it had a 8ft opening to the side of the cottage and the wind had blown the hedge down at the back creating a sheer drop to the rocky beach. So we couldn’t allow the dogs any freedom in the garden but that really was the only downside.

“A lovely comfortable character bungalow in an amazing location.”

Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys holidays in a natural location with fantastic views. A wonderfully cosy Cottage if the British weather suddenly turns.

- Steve, May 2024
Vicky April 2024

“Lovely cottage, lovely location.”

We had such bad weather but the log fire came in very handy through the storms. Beds are heavenly! Everything you need is there apart from a washing machine and dryer which is really needed when the weather is wet everyday. Will hopefully be back next year.

- Vicky, April 2024

“Great property, stayed a few times there now, great location, warm, very clean and kitchen has everything for your catering needs!”

Nicole October 2023

“Great place.”

Location can't be beaten and swam everyday or body boarded. Brilliant how much you have in such a small kitchen. Very comfy beds and warmed up quickly. Log fire easy to use to. It was lovely hearing the waves all day and night and unspoiled views. Drying lots of wet kit was hard when it rained and we felt the little half garage room might be better used as washing/ drying and possibly a wet room when coming back from the beach. Could not fault it over all and all had a great stay.

- Nicole, October 2023
Gillian October 2023

“Fantastic Holiday, loved every moment, clean, easy access to the beach, had a great time and already booked for next year, ( our 5th time here ) Our one and only repeated complaint is the TV, It's so small ( 15" ?”

) Due to no wifi we take a netflix stick with us to watch movies or cartoons for the kids ( from phone hotspot ) when we dont go out, but for what we pay to stay PLEASE update the TV 32" or better.

- Gillian, October 2023
Julie October 2023

“Brilliant place right on the beach Stunning views all around very clean very comfortable good set up A little gem Shame to say too much .”

. wouldn’t want it to be fully booked alll the time… we have been three years now and hopefully go again soon Julie

- Julie, October 2023
Sandra September 2023

“As an older visitor, I was not happy with the overbath shower.”

There wasn't a handrail and the safety bathmat was quite short so I felt unsafe getting in and out of the bath for a shower. The only other comment I would make is that the property badly needs a larger TV, and in poor weather (which unfortunately we had!) sky TV and WiFi would have been good to have. Otherwise it's very well equipped and has very comfortable beds, and the views are lovely.

- Sandra, September 2023
Annette August 2023

“1. was grade in den warmen sommermonaten wichtig wäre ist eine aussendusche um nach dem baden im meer den sand abzuspülen.”

so wird auch weniger dreck ins haus getragen. 2. der warmwasserboiler. ich glaube nicht dass so eine konstruktion ohne thermostat in der heutigen zeit noch zulässig ist. zu leicht kann das abschalten des boilers vergessen werden. wenigstens eine einfache zeitschaltuhr könnte doch dazwischengeschaltet werden. ansonsten haben wir eine wunderbare ferienzeit in diesem gemütlichen haus genossen. die lage ist wirklich traumhaft und ruhig.

- Annette, August 2023
Janet August 2023

“Allt y Mor is situated in a prime location.”

We return every year to enjoy the fabulous views, easy access to the beach and the peaceful garden. The lower garden hedge means you can enjoy the views even on a stormy day. The house is warm, clean and well-equipped for 6 people. We had a fantastic week.

- Janet, August 2023
Andrea July 2023

“We really love this property and keep returning however the only thing we would like to see change is that for the price we pay per week we feel that the lounge TV should be larger as it is so small it is difficult to view and also wi-fi would be good too.”

It does not cost that much now to get a cheap minimum 36 inch screen. A four slice toaster would be better too as if 6 people stopping takes forever to make toast for everyone.

- Andrea, July 2023
Marion June 2023

“Lovely postion, comfortable property , could have been a bit cleaner especially as you can’t get in till 4 due to enhanced cleaning.”

Also welcome pack would be a nice gesture

Jillian November 2022

“We have had a lovely peaceful holiday together with our german shepherd .”

We were so lucky with the weather for saying it was 2nd week of November. My brother and sister in law stay regularly and also love it. The position of Alt y mor is perfect with the steps down on to the beach . It was very Cosy and listening to the waves while sitting quietly was so relaxing. We had a good clean round before we left to leave it as we found it . Think we will book again next year! Thankyou for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home .

- Jillian, November 2022
Miar October 2022

“Simply loved the place.”

Absolutely ideal for dog-owners who love sea views and walks. Good parking. It had every tiny thing we wanted. It was really clean when we got there and we cleaned up well before we left - there was plenty of stuff to enable us to do that.

- Miar, October 2022
Corinne August 2022

“We have stayed at Allt y mor for over 40 years and obviously love the location.”

However I have emailed you whilst we were there to complain about the state of the oven and baking trays which were foul, greasy and needed washing before I could do anything, no cleaning materials are provided ( one jay cloth for kitchen and bathroom).I don’t expect to go on a holiday and clean ovens. Hoover was full, no new bags and stank. The house rental charge needs to be reflected in the cleaning of facilities. We love Allt y Mor but feel let down

- Corinne, August 2022

Please accept our apologies that the house was not up to its usual high standards. Looking into this, we discovered that our regular cleaner was unable to clean that week and the temporary replacement cleaner failed to fulfil expectations. Our regular cleaner is now back on duty and will ensure the house is kept to its usual high standard in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you will return to enjoy Allt-y-mor again. Property Owner
Janet August 2022

“We have been visiting Allt-y-mor for over 10 years- it is such a special place to stay.”

The location is stunning and so convenient for quick access to the beach. The house itself has everything we need for the perfect escape- especially the absence of Wi-Fi! The new sofa and large fridge were a welcome addition this year. The house is always clean and fresh And every room is homely. The garage is handy for bikes and paddle boards too. Another great week- already looking forward to next year.

- Janet, August 2022
Tracey May 2022

“Allt Y Mor is so lovely I hesitate to tell you in case it is so booked up we won’t be able to rent it again next year!”

The location is superb- views from every window, lovely garden where we spent hours watching dolphins and herons, painted the light changing on the sea. The house is well laid out clean and tasteful and even the lack of wi fi was made up for by the views. Very small kitchen but well provided with equipment etc. The lack of heating wasn’t a problem in June but may be more tricky in winter , though the log burner did a good job on the cooler evenings. All together great and I could imagine myself living there and spending my days watching the changing light across the bay.

- Tracey, May 2022
John April 2022

“It was our second holiday at Allt y mor.”

We noticed a few stains on the carpets that weren't there on our first visit. We were surprised how dirty the front windows were with old bird mess that appears to have been half heartedly wiped over. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay in an otherwise delightful cottage.

- John, April 2022
Mary April 2022

“Hi. My daughters, grandson Hugo and Herbert the dog have just had the most wonderful week in this amazing cottage.”

Waking up to the view of the beach and sea and distant mountains has restored some peace to us following the loss of my husband. Allt-y-Mor will be the place to make new memories for us. We will be booking again. Please pass on our best wishes to the owner. Thank you so much. Mary, Catherine, Caroline, Hugo and Herbert our border terrier.

- Mary, April 2022
Joanna April 2022

“The absolute best location- amazing views, quiet and tranquil.”

The house has everything you need, very comfy beds and love all the books and games. We liked that there was no WiFi- meant we slowed down and enjoyed the amazing location, spent time with each other and ‘switched off’. Great that there is a railway station so close- I didn’t have to drive when we went to Harlech. Thoroughly recommend

- Joanna, April 2022
Victoria April 2022

“What a beautiful property in a beautiful location!”

The cottage could be described as fairly basic but not in a negative way. It has everything we needed, lots of kitchen equipment and tableware. Clear instructions for heating, hot water and the like. It was clean and fresh and homely. The beds were amazing and the duvets so luxurious! I love that there is no WiFi - a real benefit to more involved family time haha! The garden’s direct access to the beach was perfect and the cafe a few minutes walk away was excellent and welcoming. The Victoria Inn in Llanbedr was great too. Definitely recommend the Wales Coast Walk for some stunning scenery and lovely gentle walking! Loved our stay and would happily return.

“Very clean little bungalow.”

Excellent location.. right on beach. Everything was as in the details provided and more. Have already booked for next year.

- Julie, November 2021
Liz August 2021

“You do not highlight there is no Wi-fi which in this day and age but particularly as with bunks the intention is to have children, is extraordinary especially in an area that barely has a 3G signal.”

There is also no dishwasher nor washing machine. The bungalow smelt musty, particularly the snug, there were long hairs in the bathroom and I could go on.

- Liz, August 2021
Pam June 2021

“It was so much better than we anticipated!”

! It was wonderful. The cottage was sparkling clean, very relaxing and in a fantastic location. We do hope to return again

“A lovely cottage with stunning views.”

We will definitely book another holiday there.

- John, April 2021
John October 2020

“Allt y Mor exceeded our expectations in every way.”

The pictures do not do justice to the stunning views from the main room and the bedrooms; the sunsets were incredible. The house is really well appointed, and was spotlessly clean. We found the bed very comfortable, especially after the long walks (Snowdon and Cader Idris are both less than one hour away). The house is also well positioned for visits to the great castles of North Wales, and we discovered some wondeful restaurants and pubs within a 15 minute drive. The wood burning stove and heaters ensured that we were very warm throughout our stay. We would unhesitatingly recommend Allt y Mor and cannot wait to return.

“No-one can be disappointed with the amazing views, sunsets and rainbows that we were privileged to witness there!”

- Beverley, September 2020
Karen September 2020

“Allt y mor was excellent for us.”

Its position right on the coast meant you could just hear and watch the sea from the comfort of the house. We love all wildlife and it was fantastic to see many seabirds and seals through the window. Direct access to the beach was great for swimming or walking on the beach. There are also many great walks in the hills behind Llandanwg and Harlech which was great for us and the dogs. Cannot really fault the position of the property. The bungalow itself was good and fine for the two of us plus 2 dogs. I find beds in most holiday let's uncomfortable but the double bed at Ally y mor was comfortable and I did not wake up with a bad back, a real bonus for me. We did have a couple of cold days but with plenty of electric heaters and log burner we were warm enough. Just a couple of negatives. We got very wet twice and nowhere to dry clothes. The kitchen was OK for us but may be small for six, also chipped mugs and plates. The extra sitting area/end of garage smelled musty and looked grubby we did not use. Place could of been cleaner but expect that as dogs allowed. All in all we loved it and would definitely book again.

- Karen, September 2020
Aaron August 2020

“The place smelled of mould, bins were already full when we got there, plus the pictures were misleading, The place was actually quite small, but pictures were done to make it seem bigger.”

- Aaron, August 2020
Janet August 2020

“We have visited Allt Y Mor for at least 10 years.”

It’s a very special place for us. Having the linen, towels and cleaning provided, is an added luxury. Reassuring extra measures were put in place due to the pandemic. We appreciated this holiday more than ever this year. Thank you to all at Sykes for making it happen.
