Visitor Comments:

Mrs L (September 2021):  "The location of the property is great, internal decor could do with updating but there is everything you need in the property" Feedback passed on the Property Owner for their consideration.
J (September 2020): ' ... everywhere was very clean and organized for my arrival'

V (August 2020):  "We just got back home after a lovely time at Harbour View. Thanks for your help and the detailed information. Despite these unusual times things worked out well for us. The situation was good and the public steps at the side of the property didn't lead to any noise or disturbance and the view of the harbour and the closeness of the facilities in town were good. We appreciated the washing up liquid and some cleaning materials, along with the tea, sugar and coffee and toilet rolls.

Please pass our thanks to the owners and your cleaning staff."
C & K (Oct 2019): "Really enjoyed gazing out of the window watching families crabbing and fellow dog walkers going by. The Australia on teh High St is fine for a quick pub meal and serves Snowdonia Ale from the Purple Moose Brewery - an overall CAMRA winner in 2012. The Indian takeaway further down the High St is good value. For dog walkers, the walk to Borth y Gest and on to Black Rock sands is, on a sunny day, surely one of the best anywhere. It rained on our second day but the castle at Criccieth is free if you are English Heritage members and offers wonderful views. Thank you for a wonderful stay."
