Blackrock Gem Reviews

We all enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided and the beds were really comfortable. The spaciousness of the property meant that we could have our own space..a must when our group had an age range of nineteen to seventy six.
Georgina
We booked Black Rock Gem for a family birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The contact with the owner before and during our stay was very welcoming and so helpful. When we arrived the property was spotless, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and the owners had thought of every detail to make the stay perfect. The location was ideal a short walk to the beautiful Black Rock Sands. Local convenience store and fish and chip shop were really useful and we had a very warm welcome from the Black Rock Beach Club where we had drinks and a lovely meal. Would most definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the property and location. Thank you again to our host that couldnt do enough to make our stay comfortable and memorable.
An absolutely superb place to stay, very clean,very modern and very comfortable, the beds especially comfy we slept like logs. The black rock sands beach is only 3 mins away in your car and it is a stunning beach for walking the dogs plus only 5 mins the other way of porthmadog town centre with loads of independent shops plus a spar,Tesco,lidles and aldi. All in all a fantastic house to stay in I look forward to visiting again .
