Gorwel Reviews

Emma
The cottage felt just like home, with a lovely view from the hot tub. Shops nearby and can't wait to come back!
Emma
We had a really pleasant weekend at Gorwel. The cottage felt warm and inviting, with lots of space. The hot tub was a real highlight after those long seaside walks, loved it!
Emma
Great stay, loved the cosy vibe!
Oliver
The location was perfect, with stunning views of the sea and town - on sunny days, it really did feel like being somewhere in the Med. The house had plenty of space for eight peopleand the hot tub was a big hit, rain or not. Would definitely come back!
Emma Roberts
We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was well-equipped overall, although a parasol or some shade in the garden on hot days would’ve been a bonus. We didn’t quite agree with some previous reviews about the towels, so maybe bring your own big bath sheet if that’s your thing. The kids loved having the garden, the summer houseand especially the hot tub - they couldn’t get enough! The lounge, dining areaand kitchen are all quite spacious, which made everything more comfortable. Also, we were surprised to find more WCs than listed - three inside plus one outside, which was handy. Parking was straightforward for multiple cars. The view is stunningand it’s within walking distance to a nice beach (though we’d recommend driving a bit further for the gorgeous beaches on the peninsula). It’s a great spot for a family getaway!
Emma J.
We stayed at this cosy cottage and loved how spacious it was for our family. The garden was a hit with our granddaughter and dogand the views are stunning. The hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Plenty of lovely beaches nearby for walks. Definitely hoping to return someday!
Emma
We absolutely loved this cosy cottage! The location is fantastic-close to Pwllheli and just a short walk to a lovely beach. The place had everything we needed, plus a bit extra. The gardens were perfect for our dogs and kids to play safely. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay!
Emma
This place is perfect for a relaxed break in stunning surroundings. We loved it so much, we’d definitely come back and stay longer next time!
Alex Morgan
We had a lovely stay! The owner was super helpful and made check-in and check-out a breeze. The place was spotless, with everything we needed in the kitchen, plus fresh flowers on the tables which was a nice touch. The hot tub was ready when we arrivedand the views from the garden were stunning. Definitely recommend it!
Emma
We had a really lovely stay! Despite the weather being a bit gloomy, the kids loved the space and the facilities-they were kept entertained the whole time. The owner was super friendly and greeted us warmly, which was a nice touch. The welcome pack was generous, especially the choccie biscuits for the kids, which went down a treat. The only downside was the slightly higher price during the school holidays, but overall, we'd definitely come back!
