Glan Y Don Reviews

Pamela
Pretty spacious cottage overlooking the sea with parking . Perfect spot for walking, beach and shops or just relaxing in the private garden . Very helpful owners .
We had a loverly family beach holiday stay at Glan Y Don the property is in a fabulous location and the weather was fab all week we parked up and didn't use the car all week. we were a family of 5, 3 generations and there was plenty of room for us all downstairs its very homely in the bedrooms. everything we needed we had.l spoke via WhatsApp to the owner to clarify a few points and she was very helpful the only negative points were the sofas could do with replacing as there are big dips and not a lot of support also the kitchen chairs could do with glueing together again as quiet wobbly but saying this l would still return
Elaine
Fantastic location. Could not have been more perfect. Very basic accommodation but provides everything needed. The handrail on the stairs needs looking at as dangerous you catchtrap your fingers every time. Decor is very bland and cheap. The dining chairs are quite loose and not at all sturdy. Additional steps on the upper floor so wasnt ideal for my aging parents. However the location was so great I would certainly consider booking again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Glan Y Don. We owned our own property in Abersoch for over 40 years and have not had the opportunity to stay at Glan Y Don previously, having now stayed there we will definitely be returning with our family in the future.
A lovely, cosy, warm cottage with large sitting room, sea views, parking, near plenty of shops and restaurants and pubs and other beaches what more could you want! We were so pleased to arrive safely as travelling during Storm Amy! We will definitely visit again!
Holiday cottage was as described. Lovely cottage with 3 beds rooms and could sleep 6 very comfortably. Beds, that were slept in, were all very comfortable. Cottage was lovely and clean with everything you could want. Sea was literally across the road with a beautiful view. All amenities were literally round the corner passed one house but you couldn't hear any noise from the high street when in the cottage. Great base for a holiday in Wales as you can get to everywhere from Abersoch. Would definitely go again
Phillip
The location was fabulous. The house is situated close to the harbour and a short walk from all the shops and restaurants. The facilities in the house were adequate and the wood fire was a real bonus. We enjoyed are stay in Glan y Don.
Wonderful property in a stunning location. Extremely spacious and spotless clean. Would definately recommend and stay there again.
A memorable week for all the right reasons. Thank you Everything thought of, even a knife sharpener so many cottages have the bluntest of knives as no one ever sharpens or has the means to sharpen but a cottage that includes a knife sharpener and a good one at that indicates that even the smallest details are cared for.

We had a wonderful week at Glan y Don. It was very clean and comfortable. The cottage is in a great position, handy for beaches and town.
We stayed at Glan y Don as a party of 6 2 grandparents, 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of equipment apart, strangely, from a pair of scissors! The position of the private garden is a little awkward. The information on the property makes it clear that the garden is across the street from the cottage. We had children with us aged 8 and 5 and so we knew in advance that, to be safe, we would have to escort the children across whenever we used the garden. There are steps from the garden down to the river estuary at a point where there are some rather slippery rocks. We preferred to walk along the road a little way to use the public walkway to a sandy beach beyond the mouth of the river. The main sandy beach is a 15 minute walk away down a road opposite to the Spar. As the information says, there is only space in the drive for one car. We had two cars for our party and so we parked one of the cars in the car park spaces on the road. At this point the time limit is 3 hours during the 9 am to 6 pm period. Thus if you park the 'spare' car on the road all day and are unlucky you will get a parking ticket. Overall, a comfortable cottage, convenient for the restaurants and shops in the centre of the village.
We have stayed in this cottage twice now and we love everything about it. The location, parking and the rooms are a perfect size with lots of storage. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you would need. The oven did break but a quick msg to the owner and the repair man came the next day and fixed it. The only downside is only 1 shower as the main bathroom just has a bath. But this wouldn't stop us rebooking again with 6 people staying.
We absolutely loved it. Spacious with everything you need. Spacious bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and cosy living room. Garden across the road is heaven on a sunny evening and feels like a secret garden! Perfect week!!!

After a lovely holiday staying in the cottage we were sad to leave. The cottage had everything we needed and was close to all amenities we will definitely be returning in the future
Stephen
Cottage in a lovely location, very close to the beach and external facilities. It was a shame that towels were not included was not obvious on the listing, was just mentioned on an email. Also a shame to have no additional home comforts in the cottage for example, no tea and coffee but empty display jars and no salt and pepper but empty grinders in the cupboard. Some of the appliances were also a bit antiquated toaster wouldnt toast breadmuffins, just dried them out, and ovengrill a bit temperamental. Overall, the place is in a perfect location for a break and it suited our needs for a base for The Roc Wales. Could do with an overall spruce up and modernising, and a few additional amenities wouldnt go amiss.
A lovely property in a super location. The family loved it despite the less than perfect weather.
Enviable coastal location with fine views . Nicely managed by the owners . Within the town with plentiful eateries and restaurants, the property has one allocated parking space. Small lawned picnic area across the road from the house , right above the cliff overlooking the sands of the bay. Perfect for a family break . I would recommend to friends and family.
This is a lovely cottage in an idyllic location, with sea views from a number of rooms, with the beach and best shops in Abersoch within a 5minute stroll. The cottage itself is well arranged, with goodsized rooms and pleasant, simple furnishings. We especially appreciated the wellappointed kitchen with plenty of cooking implements, pots, pans, crockery and cutlery, and very comfy beds. The Welsh cakes and biscuits which greeted our arrival were also a lovely touch. All in all, a first class experience... we hope to be back next year!
We had an amazing time, the cottage is lovely with plenty of room for 6 people. It is in a fantastic place right in the middle of Abersoch, with breath taking views! And the WiFi connection is great.....we needed it having teenagers with us. The only down side was the noise from the house renovation behind the cottage early morning we weren't prewarned.
Wonderful cottage in a fabulous location.
Excellent location
Fabulous property in a prime location. Warm, comfortable, very well equipped and with spacious rooms. Extremely convenient for Abersoch facilities yet was silent at night. Excellent views from the upstairs windows across the harbour. Thank you Ffion for another wonderful family holiday on the Llyn.
Kathie
The side of the cottage had a beautiful sun trap space where a rather old, large green picnic table & chairs were sited brilliant to use with the excellent BBQ but unfortunately on arrival one leg of the table was wonky! so unusuable & the whole set needs replacing . The front garden space across the road was a really pleasant area with beautiful views of the coast.
Fantastic location, very well equipped cottage
Caroline
This is a super property but what really sets it apart is the quality of service from the owners. Cleanliness in a COVID world was 100. An unavoidable problem with the TV was sorted out and a new TV arrived within 24 hours despite me saying that it wasn't a problem. A really fabulous base.
Joanne
The pictures of the garden leading to the beach were a little misleading it didnt make it clear that the garden was over the road and the few small steps shown on the picture were steps within the garden and the actual steps down to the beach were steep and overgrown. The bit of beach they led to also wasnt really the beach as it was rocky and cut off from ge beach by the tide. I suspect this is different at different times of year but such a feature is made of the way that the beach is on the garden that I think that this should also be made clear. The house itself was nice. The kitchen was well equipped. It would have been nice to have a guest info book dont think I have eve stayed anywhere without one before!
Elizabeth
We loved staying in Glan Y Don. The beach is really near and very safe for children.The shops are just a stroll away.
Samantha
Could have done with an hairdryer. WiFi would have been a help other than that everything was fantastic.
A wonderful few days in this gorgeous traditional holiday cottage, perfectly situated a minutes walk from the shops and cafes of Abersoch, with far reaching views of the bay from the front bedrooms. The only improvements I could suggest would be the addition of Wifi, although I imagine some people would not mind getting away from that for a change, and also a good heavy trim of the hedges in the garden, to reveal the lovely view obscured behind them.
Very accurate details of holiday cottage. Excellent communication from booking to arriving at the cottage. Have used Sykes before and would always recommend using them for great choice, trouble free booking in quality accommodation.
Michael
Spacious cottage in fantastic setting in Abersoch. Only comment from other guests was that wifi would have been the icing on the cake, even if at a premium.
Kelvin
Enjoyed the cottage, only criticism was that both toilets seats were loose. Would consider booking again though.
