Pant yr Hwch Reviews

James
Great stay, comfy rooms, lovely location, would definitely return.
Emma
We had a really lovely stay at Pant Yr Hwch and honestly, the location couldn’t be better. It’s a short walk into Abersoch, which is perfect for grabbing some essentials from the Spar and enjoying the lovely beach. The house itself was super comfortable, especially the beds and the two lounges with that massive TV - perfect for evenings after a day out. We loved the garden, especially the kids’ areaand the hot tub was a nice treat for everyone. The kitchen and utility rooms were really well stocked, making meal prep easyand the dining area comfortably fit all 12 of us. Our children, aged 3 to 6, enjoyed the nearby park with swings and slides, though the game room was a bit wasted on the little ones. The weather was fantastic, so we spent most days at the beach. Only minor gripe - the internet was a bit patchy at times, but we understand that’s common in rural areas. All in all, we’d definitely come back - it’s a cracking place!
Claire
We really enjoyed our stay in this stunning house, set in such a peaceful spot but still close enough to Abersoch, just a 20-minute walk. Thanks!
Sarah
We had a lovely stay at this place! The home is spacious and super comfy, with cosy bedrooms that made us feel right at home. The location is great-a bit of a hill to walk up, but less than a mile to the beach and town centre, so pretty walkable. The kitchen was really well stockedand the hot tub was a real bonus after a day out. The owner and team were quick to help if we needed anything. Definitely recommend!
Emma
Had a fantastic time! The house was stunning, gardens were lush, really great family getaway, cheers!
James
Spacious home with lovely gardens and a well-equipped kitchen
Emma J.
Great spot for big family get-togethers, really enjoyed it!
Emma T.
This place really exceeded our expectations; the scenery was beautifuland the dogs had an absolute blast! Highly recommend.
Oliver
Honestly, we expected better. Some rooms really needed a proper clean - the lounge smelt of animals and there was dog hair everywhere, even on the settee. Cobwebs in the corners and dust in cupboards were pretty off-putting. The ensuite door wouldn’t shutand the sink plugs didn’t work, making shaving tricky. The recreation area looked tired, with a broken setteeand the hot tub wasn’t even on when we arrived. Not great!
Emma Clarke
We had a fantastic time at this lovely place! The location is truly stunning and perfect for a big family get-together. The kitchen was well-stocked with extra cutlery and crockery, which made cooking and serving so much easier. Wendy was really helpful and quick to reply to messages before our stay. The only thing that could be improved is the info pack-it's a bit too much like a list of rules, rather than warm and inviting. Still, overall, a brilliant stay and a beautiful property!
