Castell Reviews

Joanna
This property had a mixed review from us Check out 10am was too early and check in 4pm was a little late youre virtually missing 2 days. We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving .
Bernie
Loved the location of Castell, it really was a very short walk to ther beach. This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture Sofa was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!
Sophie
Fantastic location, facilities and lovely spacious property very comfortable. Owners were very helpful and would 100 book again. Thank you for a lovely stay

Absolutely fantastic! We had the best weekend staying in Castell. The house is perfect and has everything you need with so much space, spotless too! Beds were really comfortable. The short walk to the beach was definitely an added bonus to this beautiful house with amazing views. We were treated very kindly by the weather so had the most perfect weekend. Highly recommended to anyone. Hosts were very friendly and communication 1st class.
Great Family House in Abersoch
A wonderful holiday home in Abersoch. Great location - just across the road from a sandy beach and a 10 minute walk into the town. Four good sized bedrooms - two with en-suite facilities and a large family bathroom. Small little room off main bedroom with a travel cot. Downstairs, well fitted kitchen, large main room with dinning table and settees, easy chairs etc. A further smaller sitting room. Also a downstairs toilet - very handy! Outside there are three great areas with tables and chairs?and the hot tub! Overall a great family house in an ideal location!
Castell Abersoch
Such a wonderful few days away in a perfect property . Excellent location , only a stones throw to the beach and village centre where there are an abundance of lovely shops and restaurants to browse . The house was spotless and the outdoor seating areas a real bonus meaning we had plenty of space to relax . We loved the hot tub and we will definitely return to Castell in the near future .
Revisit
Just got back from 2nd stay in a year! Just before and after lockdown! Love the house, so convenient for the beach and village, new fencing has been installed next to the hot tub for more privacy, very clean and the beds are so comfortable, hopefully will be back again in the near future
Good and bad
A lovely spacious house with plenty facilities for a large group, let down by the grubby state of the place. Smeared glass and light switches, dusty mirrors and window sills, dead flies on shelves and worst of all, the oven was disgusting. On the plus side, the house is very central to the village of Abersoch and the beach, but is adjacent to the main road. The hot tub was lovely and clean, but next to the bin store with very little privacy. On balance, although we had a great holiday, we probably wouldn't have booked it if we had known all the points above and would have chosen somewhere else.
Nicola
Lovely property, clean and comfortable. The log burner and hot tub really made it. Would definitely rebook in the future. The only minor concerns were the carpets on the stairs and landing could do with a deep clean along with shower units. Also a canopy over the hot tub would have been great. Highly recommend
We very much enjoyed our stay at Castell which is a lovely, well appointed and spacious property. A few minutes walk takes you into town but there are restaurants and a cafe closer too. Level access to the harbour and Warren beach at low tide but a few minutes walk up the hill towards Pwllheli takes you to the sand dunes access to the Warren beach which is great for early morning dog walks.
Suzanne
Lovely, central property overlooking Abersoch harbour. The hot tub was an added bonus! Well worth a stay.
Christine
We had an amazing time at this Beautiful cottage. Everything you need. The hot tub was great and the location perfect. Bed linen and towels were perfect. Like a 5 star hotel. Will definitely be back
Robert
We consider this property to be ideally located for Abersoch centre and the harbour beach. At low tide the Warren beach is accessible. The property has had a number of internal improvements since last year and is well equipped. We found it to be very clean, neat and tidy on arrival.
We had a lovely week at this cottage. Lovely position on the outskirts of Abersoch but only a short walk into the village centre. The front garden is a sun trap which was great. The hot tub was a big bonus, it was very well maintained and lovely and warm. Easy to use. Cottage is very well equipped, clean and well maintained. We had 1 question which was quickly answered in an email from the owner. We would highly recommend a stay here.
We had a fantastic stay at the dog friendly, comfortable and wellequipped Castell. It has everything that makes it a home from home. The situation is across the road from a beach and a short 10 minute walk from the town amenities. The local bus runs frequently with a bus stop 25m away from the front door. The hot tub in the garden was a joy and the high lookout gave wonderful sea views. Thanks for having us.
Alison
Amazing location and lovely house. . just couldnt find a clothes horse which would of been useful for when the weather isnt great for drying apart from that amazing!!
Elizabeth
Castell is a lovely house, beautifully presented and with excellent facilities. Turn left from the property and after a few minutes walk is the Warren beach and turning right from Castell is the lovely village of Abersoch with its shops, pubs and restaurants. The house was beautifully clean and warm with the extra benefit of a log burner. My daughter and partner used the hot tub one evening which they loved and it was also serviced by an engineer during our stay which is an excellent indication that the owner is aware of his obligations to visitors at his property. I cannot fault this property and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to holiday in this beautiful part of the world.
Great location,lovely comfortable property. Spotless and with everything working. Hot tub added bonus. TV needs an upgrade and viewing needs to be comfortable for all in the lounge to see. Only disappointment was the lack of recycling facilities.
Absolutely gorgeous place , fabulous setting and all as described. The only little thing was that we couldnt use the hot tub until the second day as it had been cleaned and refilled . We waited until 0100 but it was still not up to temp . Everything else was lovely .
House was fine, location good. Hot tub was good. Although couple of frustrations that we couldnt have expected for the price we paid. No dishwasher tablets, very little toilet roll in each loo, so had to go straight out to buy extra. No egg cups. The main issue was that it could do with a really good clean, loads of dust and dirt under sofas, behind bedside cabinets etc. including old chocolate wrappers. As soon as you go to plug in a charger you see how dirty the place really was. Id also expect curtains that actually kept the light out, they were so cheap and thin they were useless, which made the whole place feel cheap.
Good location Spacious and well equipped house Good parking facilities
Carolynn
Lovely house, perfectly positioned in close proximity to the town of Abersoch and the beach. Easy access to the beach which was perfect at high tide for swimming and paddle boarding in shallow waters. We hope to return to explore more of North wales.
Robert
Overall the property is excellent providing everything you need for a good holiday. The location is very good with close access to beaches and local amenities.
Brilliant holiday home, in an ideal location
Great property with good facilities. Fantastic view from upper seating area and hot tub was great. Just across road from access to beach and a short walk into town. Would stay again.
Graham
Lovely cottage, pretty clean and tidy in general. Hot tub a bonus but could do with a roof wind shelter and next to the main road. Also, the adjoining property appears to have a shared access which we werent aware of. This was a problem as we have a small dog which can nip strangers when frightened. Could do with a decent mop too. All in all though a pleasant experience.

The house was great for our needs, comfortable with 6 guests, hot tub was great, fantastic location too, maybe few more toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets would of been perfect but couldnt fault the place, would definitely recommend and book again Thanks Rob

There wasnt a shaving socket so we had to buy toothbrushes. Otherwise a very comfortable house.
Good sized cottage, very convenient for Abersoch village and beach across the road! Very clean and beds very comfortable! Had an excellent week as weather was good too! Will definitely rebook and recommend
Location was fantastic, couldn't ask for better. Plenty of parking and great size. Comfortably fit 6 adults and 1 dog. However, I think the cleanliness of the house could be improved. I won't go into too much detail, but we did have to do a bit of cleaning on arrival. Other than that, would recommend and personally we would go there again
Apart from from a few days of rain, we were very lucky with the weather and with the beach virtually on our doorstep, the Grandchildren loved spending time there. Castell Cottage was perfect for us with all the facilities that we needed plus an added hot tub too! We enjoyed several day trips to some great places including Barmouth & Portmeirion and overall our holiday in Abersoch was just brilliant in every way!
The house was so well equipped and the beds were really comfortable. The only negative I would say is that the lounge area wasnt ideal as the tv was in a bad position for more than 2 to watch it. Otherwise we had a fantastic time.
