Guest Feedback:
TL (April 2023): 4.8 STARS
"Fantastic Location. We had a wonderful stay at the Apple Tree and the location is fantastic - within a 2 minute walk of the water, a short walk to Caernarfon and easy driving distance to the wonders of Anglesey and Snowdonia. The place is quiet and comfortable - the only annoyance is that the lack of towels truly means no towels at all (e.g. no towels to dry dishes with) which made it a little harder to keep the place clean. But overall, a great place!" When we say that there are no towels at a property, this also means no tea towels as well.
PS (October 2022): 4.2 STARS "Perfect short break in Snowdonia. A lovely cottage in a quiet and idyllic location. Very comfortable and clean with plenty of room. The owner made us feel very welcome and at ease as soon as we arrived"
DC (August 2022): 4.7 STARS "Great cottage. Fantastic location & very quiet, nice big car park for storing our boat and good launch service just up the road, would really recommend this to someone with a boat. Great owner & we will happily come here again​"
NE (August 2022): 3 STARS "Very Basic. Unfortunately the fridge and freezer were not working. Even when the owner corrected it somewhat, it was mildly cold and took ages to freeze the items. A second fridge I was offered was also not working, though the freezer this time did work. However much of the food we brought with went of and we only survived due to an electric freezer box we had brought with. We found spider webs all over and the counters were dirty etc. Generally not much light in the living area. The outside grounds are really well kept and a gorgeous place to spend time in the nice warm weather"
The H Family (Aug, 2017): "What a fantastic place to stay! Superb hospitality."
The B Family (Aug, 2017): "Loved the seclusion of the property and the host's hospitality. Wish we had 2 weeks."
Mr & Mrs W (May, 2017): "Comfortable cottage & super location."
The L Family (April, 2017): "Fantastic time, lovely cottage. Well equipped and beautiful location. Within 5 mins the family were asking if they could come again!"
