“Wonderful property with stunning views.”

Lovely cafe and restaurant in the village and plenty of things to do and see in the area such as Harlech Castle, both steam trains and the fantastic Black Rock sands.

“A fantastic well situated apartment in this lovely village.”

Well equipped and superbly clean. Steep stairs and missing a bath but we knew that before we booked. We really enjoyed our stay and the lovely views over the bay.

“Excellent property as described and wonderful views out over the estuary.”

Well fitted out with everything we needed. Recommend.

Diane September 2024

“Loved our stay here!”

Very homely and comfortable, with some lovely little touches. The property is really well equipped and we found it had everything we needed. Views are beautiful and the location is great. Small beach across the road but the best ones are a short walk away, some outstanding little bays, very unspoilt and surrounded by magnificent scenery, if ur happy to take a small hike and are reasonably fit. Porthmadog is just a twenty minute walk via a coastal walk but there are some steps and a small hill to negotiate. Would love to return some time.

“The apartment was very nice and in a very nice situation.”

There were a few issues that need to be dealt with namely trying to lock the door to the property on the inside was extremely hard and found that it had not locked properly a couple of times. The window blind in the bathroom couldn't be closed because the cord was broken and looked like it had been for some time, the blind cord in in one bedroom was also broken but could be closed. These might sound like petty issues but need to be attended to, along with a few other things. All in all a very nice place that could easily be improved upon.

“We loved our stay at Gweldon Topsail!”

The stunning views were mesmerising and the walks from the doorstep on the coast path were perfect. I am already missing the peace and tranquility of the beautiful location. The owner responded to my queries and sent a handyman to fix the blind so that my teenager could sleep without being woken too early by the glorious sunshine that filled the room. Thank you for that!

- Kirste, July 2024

Thank you for your kind review. Im so glad you enjoyed your stay at Topsail and am grateful that you appreciate our quick response to the issue with the blind! Hope we can welcome you back if you decide to visit beautiful Borth again. :) Property Owner
Peter July 2024

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Excellent location with great views and you step outside virtually onto the beach. It’s well worth walking to the other beaches following the path beyond the car park. They are beautiful sandy beaches. The house has all the home comforts, very clean and comfortable. Would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

Leanne July 2024

“We throughly enjoyed our stay for my husbands birthday and already discussing about returning next year.”

The property being very spacious and a fabulous location. The view over looking the beach is beautiful. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone.

- Leanne, July 2024

Thank you so much for your very kind review. Im so pleased your husband had a happy birthday. Our family has had many a happy celebration over the years at Topsail. Sometimes we think we take the location for granted! Its always lovely to hear guests enjoying the views. We would be pleased to welcome you back anytime. Best wishes :) Property Owner

“Clean, spacious accommodation.”

It's a shame that despite a previous holiday maker mentioning the kettle leaks and the can opener is blunt, also response that these would be replaced, the items clearly haven't been replaced. Sending a WhatsApp to Sykes hasn't obtained a response either. Apart from the kettle and can opener, the accommodation was excellent.

- Jayne, June 2024

Apologies for the kettle and can opener. They have been ordered and were to be delivered to the housekeeper as we are not currently resident in North Wales. The best way to contact either myself or Sykes is to send a message through the app, email or text myself (my number is on your booking details) I could have had them delivered to you within a day or two. I am glad you found the flat acceptable in all other respects. Thank you for your comments. Property Owner
Gill June 2024

“Only one comment, we've stayed in many places now and all have the simple things like foil, washing up liquid, salt and pepper oil,just basics that you need, otherwise the house was amazing and very comfortable.”

“What a lovely flat, very spacious and clean.”

Nicely decorated. Great location and easy to park, walking distance to Porthmadog. We had an issue with the WiFi which Wendy rectified almost straight away… There was only a couple of things which would of made it excellent may not be important to others but a smart tv would of been nice to have been able to login to our Netflix etc. Maybe some small side drawers in the lower bedroom. Apart from these minor things we loved our stay and would like to return in the future! The view is to die for!! Thank you Wendy.

- Maria, June 2024

Thank you for your kind review. Im so pleased that we managed to sort out the WiFi for you. My housekeeper is very efficient in most cases, so I will pass on your thanks. We have been looking into getting a smart TV, so will get onto that. So glad you enjoyed the view. and we look forward to welcoming you back to Topsail. Property Owner

“The heating was a bit fierce - I had to turn down most of the radiators.”

Great location with plenty of space.

- Mike, April 2024

Apologies for my delayed reply to your comments. So sorry about your issue with the heating. We do ask guests to regulate the heat with the thermostat that can be found on the landing to the right of the utility cupboard. Usually the radiators are set at mid/low. However, sometimes guests do turn up the radiators. I have asked to our housekeepers to check on it in the future. Im glad you enjoyed the location and found there was plenty of space to enjoy your holiday at Topsail. Property Owner

“The double bedroom , ideally take the shelve off by the double bed on the left hand side as you constantly catch yourself on the shelf.”

To near to the double bed). Also the single room on the second floor there is damp wall I think there is a leak in the roof so will need fixing. Apart from that a lovely house.

- Jean-pierre, March 2024

Thank you for your feed back. We will look into the issues that you’ve mentioned. Otherwise, we appreciate your comment that it is lovely house. Property Owner
Fran March 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the house.”

It was a perfect location and the views over the harbour were amazing. The house was really spacious and our son loved the addition of the playroom. We would definitely recommend the house and would love to come back and make it our annual stay at Borth Y Gest.
