“We had no control over the heating and it was very cold witch was quite uncomfortable and we had to purchase wood and coal to warm the house up !”

- G

I am very sorry you had this experience. The heating control at Gilfach is a smart system. For some reason, the thermostat stopped communicating with the app. I noticed this at the beginning of your week's stay and tried to contact you to check that everything was okay. There was no mobile number on your booking. This was discussed with the staff in the Menai offices who agreed to try to contact you. We decided that if you hadn't contacted the office then everything was okay. I am sorry that wasn't the case. Had I or Menai Cottages been made aware by you that the house was cold and that there was an issue with the heating during your stay then this would have been resolved. Kind regards Property Owner

“Everything was perfect well arrange as a rental property together with a perfect location.”

Our only small complaint was the quality of the mattresses’s on the double beds , not as comfortable as I would have hoped.

- Jonathan

Hi Thanks for your feedback regarding the house. I'm sorry to hear you found the mattresses on the double beds uncomfortable, thanks for bringing this to my attention. The downstairs double mattress was replaced at the start of this season. I will have a look at them next weekend when checking the property. Kind regards Adam Property Owner

“Very peaceful location with a nice 10 minute walk into the village.”

Clare

“The property is great, just not cleaned to a particularly high standard.”

Also some stuff getting very tired now like the UPV windows which are old whistle like crazy on a windy day and are difficult to open and close.

- Clare

Hi Clare Many thanks for your feedback. I am sorry that the cleaning was not of a high standard, this is obviously disappointing for us to hear. We have made the cleaning company aware of your comment and also note that this is a slightly worrying theme in reviews. We are looking to appoint a house manager to supervise the changovers . Regarding the windows, the large door in the lounge unfortunately broke at the start of the busy rental season and will be replaced as soon as there is an empty week! Kind regards Adam Property Owner

“Amazing , only addition would be beach equipment”

- Charles

Hi Charles Thanks for the super feedback. We are delighted you had a good time. Kind regards Adam Property Owner

“Great location, big spacious house.”

Cleaning could have been better, as stated small none shedding dogs welcome, when we arrived there was dod hair everywhere even the bath. I spent the first hour of been there cleaning up. The mattress in downstairs double was very uncomfortable. Sliding door to the garden was so stiff turns out it was broken but an easy fix. Been 7 of us the packing had to be light so we used the washer, it was rubbish didn't drain if you put more than 2 towels in it had to be stopped as the drum couldn't take the weight. Also the windows were so dirty you couldn't see the amazing views. Overall the house is a great space, garden is great.

- Jenny

Hi Jenny Thanks for your feedback. I'm am sorry to hear about the cleaning not being up to standard. We have fed this back to the cleaning company. We are looking to appoint a house manager to supervise the changeovers and ensure quality control. I will check the mattress and washing machine next weekend. The window cleaning has also been chased! Kind regards Adam Property Owner

“Lovely house a short walk from the centre of Abersoch.”

Home from home. Very comfortable. Great decor. Really enjoyed our stay.

Jane

“Comfortable, modern and clean and generally a lovely place to stay.”

The outside could do with some care and modernisation to be in keeping with the neighbouring houses and area as it was a bit of a heart-sink as we drove up. Of note, the information on line does not make it clear that the adjoining bedroom (twin) is literally that. Adjoined to another bedroom with no access to bathroom or landing. This might be less important if you have put your young children in there but absolutely inappropriate if you are booking this house for adult couples. We had planned to use the twin so our adult children and partners could have the doubles. It was inappropriate for us to have to go through their bedroom for the toilet and so I ended up downstairs in the single room with my husband on the floor on a mattress in there with me. There is also a problem with the window frame in the single room and the wind whistles all night. As my husband is elderly and I have physical health conditions it impacted on the enjoyment of our holiday; knowing we had to be in the single room in cramped conditions with the noise of the wind all night. We think this house is great for a family with small children but a no-no for adult couples.

The property

Located on the western border of Abersoch, Gilfach is a lovely, secluded cottage.

Enjoying stunning views of the St Tudwals Islands and ideally situated to take advantage of everything the Llyn Peninsula has to offer, Gilfach is an ideal base for a family trip to Abersoch.

There is adequate off-street parking for three cars and a boat at the house, so you can take advantage of the great sailing conditions in Abersoch.

A welcoming open-plan living area decorated in soothing blues and greens welcomes you at entry; remove your shoes and gather around the leather sofa to watch TV while listening to the crackle of a wood burning fireplace behind you in this cosy home away from home.

Indulge in your favourite DVD or Sky show in the spacious living room before moving into the unique kitchen, which features blue tiled walls and white fixtures, as well as an impressive array of integrated appliances.

Take advantage of the handy utility room which houses a washing machine, ideal for keeping your holiday wardrobe fresh!

When dinner is served, you can enjoy it at the breakfast bar or the colourful dining table, where you can open a bottle of bubbly to mark this fabulous coastal getaway.

Treat yourself to a soothing soak in the bath in the elegant ground-floor bathroom, before choosing from one of four bedrooms to catch your rest in, a double and a single can be found on the ground-floor, as well as double and a twin room with connecting door on the first floor, both of which are served by a shower room.

There is also a first-floor snug with beanbags, a TV, and a collection of books and games for guests to enjoy.

On warmer days why not enjoy a picnic in the back garden while the kids and pets play on the enormous lawn?

The Vaynol Pub and Fresh Bar & Grill, as well as the well-stocked convenience stores, are both within easy walking distance of the centre of Abersoch.

The village also has two wonderful beaches, one of which is the Abersoch Harbour Beach, where you can relax while watching the boats sail out to sea or set sail yourself if you've brought a boat!

The Llanbedrog Headland Circular Walk is a great way to see the area's clifftop, forest, and heathland landscape; afterward, treat yourself with a visit to Plas Glyn y Weddw Gallery, which features modern art and a cafe, or a rest on the village's popular beach.

In Pwllheli, you may take in the Marina and sailing event area, play golf at Llin Golf or Pwllheli Golf Club, and end the day with a supper at the gastropub Whitehall.

The Llin Peninsula offers a wide range of activities, such as walking the Coastal Paths, birdwatching at Mynydd, biking the numerous cycleways, and more.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
