“Our second time in this apartment brilliant location everything you need excellent”

- Bernie, November 2024
Jane October 2024

“Beautiful property in a beautiful area of Wales.”

We have stayed in properties like yours several times every year but none have gone the extra mile like you have. We are used to taking all we need for our stay, apart from bedding, towels etc but you have thought of everything. We've stayed in other places that have had a dishwasher but not supplied tablets and a coffee maker but no coffee!(we did use ours as we had it with us) Thank you once again.

- Jane, October 2024
Kathryn October 2024

“Apartment was stunning.”

Immaculately clean and had everything that you could possibly need. And that view!!!! We had a perfect week and didn't want to leave at the end. Location was great as well. Didn't touch the car after we arrived. Lush long walks, bus and train trips! Can't wait to come back.

- Kathryn, October 2024

“Lovely property, clean and well equipped.”

Fantastic sea views.

- Elaine, October 2024
Annie October 2024

“The apartment is spotlessly clean - better than any self-catering accommodation I've ever stayed in.”

It was so well-equipped that we lacked for nothing. The setting is superb - I could have sat watching and listening to the sea for ever! Easy location, plenty to do in the surrounding area no matter what your age. The host was super communicative and helpful too. Amazing, 5/5 stars.

- Annie, October 2024
Liz September 2024

“Clear instructions; well-equipped; comfy beds; lovely sea & coast views.”

Nice to have empty food & bathroom cupboards for our stuff; maps and local recommendations. Pwllheli made a good base for travelling around the Llyn Peninsula.

- Liz, September 2024

Carol June 2024

“The apartment is in a fantastic position.”

Immaculately clean and comfortable. The marine/seaside pictures and ornaments give the place very welcoming vibes. The crockery was also themed and of the highest quality. Lots of thoughtful extras However no mention in the listing that the access might not be suitable for people with mobility issues. We are in our 80's and found negotiating the little stairs difficult with luggage. And unfortunately the access is via a dilapidated part of the complex

“A well maintained, excellently situated and thoughtfully equipped apartment; everything is there for the comfort of the holidaymaker.”

A special mention to the housekeeper who cleans the apartment to the highest standard. Lovely to return to after a day exploring this glorious part of North Wales

“The property was fantastic in every way.”

Very homely feeling to our stay.

- Stephen, March 2024
Susie March 2024

“We have had a fantastic stay at Gwel Y Mor.”

Apartment was spotless and so well equipped. Anne and Steve are fantastic hosts and really went above and beyond. The apartment is bigger than we expected and was so peaceful with just the sound of the sea in the evening. We really recommend a stay!

- Susie, March 2024
Glyn February 2024

“Our second winter visit this year and despite the forecast being somewhat damp we were very lucky and walked every day and didn't get wet.”

We chose Gwel Y Mor initially for it's location, right on the sea front with amazing views. Whatever the weather, sat in the bay window with a cuppa you feel like you are outside and could happily sit there all day watching the scene changing in comfort. Per my previous review the apartment is very comfortable, warm and homely with everything that you need for your stay in Pwllheli. The apartment has a rich history in the area and it's well worth reading about the horse drawn tramway from West End to Plas Glyn y Weddw. We would like to keep Gwel y Mor a secret so it's always available for us to book in the future but that wouldn't be fair. Conatct with the friendly owners was first class and we could not fault anything and our stay was perfect. Diolch yn fawr Glyn & Ann

“We absolutely loved our stay at Gwel y Mor.”

We booked last minute as the weather forecast looked promising, dry but cold. On arrival at the apartment we collected the keys easily and the parking space was very handy. The apartment was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed. Heating the apartment was no trouble despite how cold it was and we were extremely comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the shower/bath had instant hot water. We cooked our evening meals and again all the crockery, cooker fridges etc were spotless. There was a dishwasher but we didn't use it as that's my job! TV and internet was faultless and we were very happy in the apartment. However the star of the show is the view! You literally sit in the bay windows looking directly out to sea! To your left is Harlech with its castle and the Rhinog ridge on the skyline from Moel Ysgyfarnogod to Rhinog Fawr, Rhinog Fach, Y Llethr, Diffwys, Moelfre and dropping away to Barmouth! Then Cader Idris stands sentinel and the coast is visible heading down towards Cardigan. On your right is Llanbedrog with it famous Tin Man stood on the headland and then the coast as it curves round past Abersoch to the Cilan headland and the St Tudwal islands with Bear Grylls light house winking at you! In a morning we sat with a hot cuppa as the sun rose behind the mountains and then lit up the sea and in the evening the sky towards the headland was the most glorious orange! Despite coming here to walk it was hard to drag ourselves away from the view and actually get out! The Wales Coastal footpath runs right past the apartment and the Llyn Peninsula is blessed with so many wonderful footpaths either coastal or hills. It's easy to catch the train along the Cambrian Coast and the buses are only 15 minutes walk away. If you do come here between April and September check out the Fflecsi bus service which picks you up and drops you off all around the Llyn for a nominal fee, its a fantastic way to get about. Pwllheli was around 15 minutes walk and there are supermarkets and fuel so there is everything you need. The owner had left us coffee, tea bags, milk in the fridge, Welsh Cakes and chocolate biscuits which were a really nice touch. There were lots of other little extras like phone charging cables, books, games, information and a fantastic pair of binoculars to use. Communication was really good and it was one of the best apartments we have stayed in and we hope to return very shortly as we are already missing the views. Many thanks for a great stay Glyn & Ann .............Diloch yn fawr

Shirley September 2023

“This is our second visit and we felt very much at home.”

The weather was distinctly autumnal, but it was great to sit by the bay window and watch the sea in all its changing colours. Maybe we shall be back in the Spring!

- Shirley, September 2023
Craig August 2023

Sonia July 2023

“I have stayed in quite a few properties but this has been the most organised and thought through place ever.”

The apartment has everything you might need, clearly labelled with really good instructions.. And of course one of the best things about it is the view which is astounding,

- Sonia, July 2023
Stefan June 2023

“What an amazing place, my wife and I loved it, waking it up to that view is something else.”

I would definitely recommend this place as a base to explore North Wales. There is also plenty of space for another set of adults and a kid. We’ll definitely come back!

- Stefan, June 2023
Peter June 2023

“The apartment was first class worthy of the five stars.”

It was spotlessly clean and was very comfortable throughout. I can honestly say it’s the best we have ever rented for a holiday.

- Peter, June 2023

Shirley April 2023

“Everything went very well.”

The booking was easy, the instructions left by the owner were clear and we were very impressed by the facilities and attention to detail. The only difficulty for us (oldies) was getting our luggage up and down! We would certainly book again.

- Shirley, April 2023
Claire April 2023

“Lovely property with a fabulous view.”

- Claire, April 2023
Graham March 2023

“Excellent clean apartment with superb views out to sea.”

Ideally situated to allow us to explore the Llyn Peninsula. A varied welcome pack was provided along with a birthday card which was a lovely touch. Top notch all round.

John September 2022

“The apartment was very clean and well presented, the owners easy to communicate with, it's location in the area was perfect, beach to the front town to the rear.”

The views from the bay window were constantly changing, there was always something going off. We had a great stay.

- John, September 2022
Noorjehan August 2022

“To anyone looking to book a relaxing break, with a stunning view I would recommend you don't look anywhere else and you just book this place.”

Words really don't do justice to how amazing and peaceful the seaview was, especially at sunrise and sunset and just sitting with a cup of tea at the breakfast table was so tranquil. From the apartment to the sea was less than a minute walk and we spent hours enjoying the sea and sand. The surrounding area and beaches are all easily accessible if you are driving and the post it's on the wall in the kitchen really helped us to plan our short break. Our children loved their stay and can't wait for us to go back again soon. It was a child friendly apartment with some nice board games too. The landlords communication with us was really pleasant too and nice little house keeping touches made the stay so much more personal. The only downside was that we didnt stay longer. Looking forward to booking again next year.

- Noorjehan, August 2022
Lucy August 2022

“A very relaxing stay.”

We felt completely at home. It was a nice quiet building and very clean appartment. We certainly weren't ready to leave and could have easily stayed a full week. The notice board with tips and hint of where to visit was brilliant. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Slightly difficult to find when we arrived. We saw the carpark but wanted to see the front of the building before we parked (because the carpark is a little gloomy), so we drove along the seafront. We saw lots of colourful buildings with numbers so followed the numbers to the end. We eventually drove back and saw the front door for West Point. It may be good to explain exactly where the front of the building of West Point is should people want to see that before parking, to get their bearings.

Ruksana July 2022

“Amazing place, very comfortable, clean and with a spectacular view.”

Mary July 2022

“Spotlessly clean, apartment with beautiful sea views.”

The owner was easy to contact and most helpful. We appreciated the welcome pack.on arrival. As pointed out in previous reviews, the access and stairs could be an issue for some. An excellent base to explore this stunning area.

- Mary, July 2022
Patricia June 2022

“Property was extremely.”

Clean everything looked new. Could be difficult for people with mobility problems as there are a few stairs. Pity no balcony but view spectacular. Lots of walks in area. Very enjoyable week.

- Patricia, June 2022
Christina March 2022

“We had an absolutely lovely time at this really beautiful apartment.”

It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The view is so gorgeous, its a fantastic place to relax and watch the world go by. The area is lovely and quiet, but near enough to the town centre for supermarkets/shops/cafes/takeaways, which are all within walking distance. Owners were lovely, really easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We cant wait to come back!

- Christina, March 2022
