What a brilliant week at Gorwel. 5 adults and 3 children. Plenty of space, well equipped and comfortable. Amazing outside space with views. Hot tub was a lovely bonus. Really well equipped kitchen, storage space, and very large fridge/freezer. Plenty of parking. Perfect location to explore either way to peninsular or back to Porthmadog.

Lovely large cottage within walking distance of the beach and easily accessible to all the other beautiful beaches in the area. Great access to lovely walks in and around Snowdonia too. The garden is fully enclosed which is good for dogs and young children and the hot tub was a perfect addition. Plenty of room for large/extended families inside andRead more out and lots of private parking. The owner's property is immediately adjacent to the house, so it isn't an isolated property and you can hear some car noise from the nearby road when in the garden (although the road isn't visible from the garden which is well screened by mature plants and hedges). We had a great 2 week holiday here. Hide

Thankyou for a lovely stay at this cottage. What an amazing outdoor area with so many deck chairs, seating and a wonderful hot tub. Stunning views from the cottage and garden. Shame about the main road nearby but we didn't hear any noise once inside. Cottage comes equipped with everything you could think of, kitchen very well appreciated- massive fRead moreridge and utensils for everything. Hair dryer appreciated in rooms. Hot tub was just beautiful. An amazing location to explore the coast and the mountains. Only shame we felt was slightly more care could have been paid to cleanliness before arrival as the kitchen was in need of a sweep and there was a dirty towel in one of the rooms. The ensuite room was appreciated but we did encounter the shower to easily start filling up and we're anxious of it being clogged so used the other bathroom. All in all, fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend. Also perfect for the dog to enjoy and was always safe in the enclosed garden. Thankyou very much. Hide

Beds very comfortable beer/wine fridge was a nice Read moretouch giving extra space in the already large fridge. Hide

Fantastic Stay at Gorwel Cottage Highly Recommended! We recently spent a wonderful week at Gorwel Cottage in Wales, and it was the perfect getaway for our family, including my partner, two teenagers, my parents, and our two dogs. The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is simply stunning, with breathtaking sea views Read morethat made every morning special. The secure garden was a huge plus, especially for the dogs, who had plenty of space to run around safely. The hot tub was a wonderful touch a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. Inside, the cottage was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for a self-catering stay. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed to prepare meals, and the living spaces were spacious, clean, and comfortable for our whole family. We felt right at home. The surrounding area was peaceful, with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor activities. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, and the cottage provided a warm, welcoming base for our family. We all agreed that our stay at Gorwel Cottage was excellent, and were already talking about returning. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views!

We had a lovely week here. Very well equipped on the whole (although would have liked a parasol or other shade for garden on a hot week, and we disagreed with some previous reviews about the generosity of the towels- bring your own if you like a big bath sheet). Kids enjoyed having the garden, summer house and the hot tub. Good size lounge, dining Read moreroom and kitchen. More WCs than advertised - 3 in house and 1 outside! Easy parking for multiple cars. Beautiful views and handy location walking distance from a beach (albeit worth driving further for the stunning beaches on the peninsula) and short drive from supermarkets, shops, takeaways etc in Pwllheli. Great base for our extended family holiday. Hide
