    Unfortunately, the accommodation was lacking in cleanliness, with remnants from previous guests evident in the form of debris under furniture and a general sense of neglect in routine upkeep. Kitchen amenities left much to be desired, lacking basic cooking tools like suitable non-stick pans, which made meal prep a hassle rather than a pleasure. The limited dining options on-site fell short, with only a small restaurant operating in the evenings and no breakfast or lunch choices available, which meant planning outside the resort was necessary. the WiFi connection was spotty, dropping frequently and making work—or even just general browsing—frustrating.

    A Relaxing Family Escape

    Enjoyed a peaceful 4-night stay in a lovely two-bedroom apartment. The place was spotless and exuded a cozy vibe. Found the indoor pool fantastic for the kids! Pro tip, arrive stocked with groceries since the location is quite remote. The local scenery is stunning!

    frustrating check-in

    We had an amazing group trip! The nearby Ceredigion Heritage Coast and the Cambrian Mountains were unforgettable. The classic family apartment suited us perfectly. The location allows for bird watching in the Dyfi National Nature Reserve. The beaches offer paddle boarding and kite surfing too.

    We found the check-in time to be quite late at 5 PM, which was frustrating after a long drive.

    closed outdoor pool

    We had an amazing group trip! The nearby mountains and coastline were unforgettable, and our classic family apartment suited us perfectly. The kids loved the indoor pool, although it was a bit disappointing that the outdoor pool was closed. The location allowed us for some fantastic bird watching in the nature reserve nearby.

    dated kitchen surfaces
    age-related wear

    We stayed in a Two-Bedroom Classic Family Apartment and it was spacious with decent views. The layout worked well for us, and the beds were comfy enough for a good night's sleep. Some areas showed a bit of age, like the kitchen surfaces, but overall, it was clean and functional. We also enjoyed the heated indoor pool after a long day!

    A Family with Children Escape

    The massive room we had was clean and surprisingly spacious allowing the kids to run around without bumping into things. We also loved the indoor pool which was great for the little ones because you could keep an eye on them while relaxing.

    It wasn't exactly low-cost but for the comfort we got , it was manageable.

    Stunning views and solid stay

    Just spent 3 nights in a two-bedroom apartment. The views were spectacular and the staff were super friendly. We loved the spaciousness of the rooms and had an awesome sauna in the apartment! The downside? The WiFi was a bit unreliable, disconnecting constantly, which was a bit annoying. The bar area was chill though, perfect for winding down after a day out.

    great shower
    strong water pressure

    Just a fitting option for a mini-break over the weekend in Pennal with very good value for money. The shower experience was great, providing strong water pressure which was a nice surprise. Bring your own cooking tools as the kitchen supplies are lacking.
