Catherine
December 2024

“It was very clean and warm but had a poor mattress on the bottom bunk bed, and even though the double bed mattress was comfy, the bed frame squeaked and moved every time you turned over.”

The upstairs flat was very noisy and we were woken in the middle of the night just by them moving around, using their bathroom and shutting doors. We left a day early due to the Inadequate, if at all any?,soundproofing from this converted house into 2 flats. We heard every footstep. We wouldn't stay here again. Also, there was broken glass around the back of the property, which, luckily, my dog didn't stand on. I believe it was the windows that had fallen out from the shed.

Hello, apologies for the delay in responding to your feedback. The property has indeed been sound proofed during renovation. During your stay, upstairs was at full capacity, which is rare. If you had contacted Menai, we could have taken action. Also regarding the broken window which was due to the storms at the time. As soon as my housekeeping team realised it had happened it was cleared. Property Owner

“I love Anchor deck, it's in a great area nice and peaceful, the flat has a lovely feel about it ,lovely and clean ,could do with some better mattresses, they feel like their is no life in them although clean.”

Description said a smart tv but was an ordinary tv I think it may have been an old set but im hoping they will up date this as it was hard to hear regarding muffled voices. Iv booked another holiday here so must be good

“A lovely ground floor apartment in a stunning location.”

Fitted out to a high standard, well equipped, clean, comfortable & larger than expected. Beautiful walks from the front door and a dog friendly beach opposite a huge bonus. Licensed restaurant & takeaway a few minutes walk was perfect. Free parking close by every day, would love to return!

“Property not suitable for disability if you've got to park your car 1/2 mile down the road in a car park where you have to pay but when you got a drive at the Cottage but not allowed to use it the kitchen was on fire and the only access is out the living room Windows it would be handy if it had the catch on it and it would be handy if it had cleaning stuff there i.”

E mop broom so you could clean up every day curtain hanging down the shower really needs a door on because every time you have a shower it comes out on the floor and knees another mat because every time you step it in the shower you're slip up apart from that nice holiday cottage

“Perfectly located for our Portmeirion visit and as a bike riding base.”

Stunning sea views from the breakfast table, nice peaceful location away from the bustle of Portmadog but within walking distance of their amenities. Extremely clean and though slightly tired in places this did not detract from the charm. No issues parking, we always got on the road outside. The resident neighbours next door are lovely! Would have given 5 stars without a thought had it not been for the noise from guests up stairs, not their fault but we could hear every step and flush from the bathroom. Literally the only blemish on an otherwise fantastic property. We would stay again and recommend to friends.

- Sarah, June 2024

Much thanks for your positive review. Im really pleased that you found it clean and comfortable. Yes, we are very lucky to have kind neighbours who are always friendly to our guests. Im so pleased you enjoyed Borth, the village and the views are something we hold quite dear as my husband was born and grew up there and we love when it is appreciated :) Apologies for the upstairs noise. At the time of your stay Top Sail had a ‘full house’, 7 guests and 2 pets, I believe, so noise was probably higher than when there is a couple or smaller family staying. I will talk to Menai about this and though this is unusual, - not very often do we have the maximum number in Topsail - perhaps we can look at a way of informing guests at Anchor Deck if Topsail is at its maximum occupancy. Again, its lovely that you enjoyed your stay in Borth and hope we can welcome you back soon. Property Owner

Cottage was nice ,parking not very good could do with a light outside the kitchen, something you can't do anything about is it's very noisy when someone is upstairs,

- Sue, March 2024

Thank you for your comments and we are glad that you were happy with Anchor Deck. We are sorry that you may have experienced some issues with parking, this is sometimes the consequence of the popularity of beautiful Borth-y-Gest. We have noted the outside light was not working and will get this checked. We are grateful to you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner
