Guest Feedback:
DS (April 2024): 4.3 STARS "Perfect week in Wales. Great weather. Perfect location. Bendigedig."
GS (February 2024): 4.7 STARS "Wow, what a view! Ideal location & parking in the street was no problem. Coming in from a walk and still being able to enjoy the view of the bay, even in the rain, was great. The kitchen is well stocked but the washing machine didn't work. I have reported this, so the owners are now aware. We would definitely recommend The Quatrterdeck and look forward to returning again soon​" Thanks for the Review. A repair man has been to the property, and repair is in hand.
IR (Jan 2024): "Great stay and great view"
FZ (December 2023): 4.7 STARS "Comfortable house in a charming location. My family with 3 adult children had a relaxing and very pleasant stay over Christmas at Quarterdeck. House well equipped with spacious bedrooms and a splendid location overlooking the bay.
Too bad the sun did not join. Great place to visit North Wales beaches and mountains"
RW (September 2023): "Beautiful location and very well equipped house. Every facility you could possibly need. Excellent value. We’re already discussing s return visit!"
MB (September 2023): 4 STARS "Great location for exploring the main tourist places in North Wales from Snowdonia to coastal towns and beaches. Lovely views from the property and easy to access the Welsh coastal path."
HS (August 2023): 4.7 STARS "Great location, and very comfortable place to stay. The Quarterdeck is by far our favourite property to rent in Borth-y-gest. The bi fold doors open right across the deck allowing access through the house to the breathtaking views of the beach, the cob and the steam trains. The open plan downstairs allows the family to all be together. Four well appointed bedrooms (nice quality bedding!) and two bathrooms - one bedroom downstairs worked well for grandparents, with the bathroom en suite for them. The kitchen was well stocked with all pots, pans, plates etc. Plenty of books to read and a huge cupboard of games to work through"
EH (August 2023): 4.7 STARS "A good place to stay. Excellent location and generally comfortable and well equipped. Milk and bara brith on arrival much appreciated. A few niggles: broken hinge on kitchen cupboard (reported), only one front door key and no way to unlock back gate. Overall however a very enjoyable stay, despite the weather!" Thanks for the Feedback which are always passed on to the property owner, who responded "can you thank them and say we are sorry there was no back gate key, thanks for advising us of this and say we are replacing it." . We did get a Handyman out on the day that the kitchen cupboard door was reported.
SS (June 2023): 4.8 STARS "Excellent. Only issue was that we were unable to open the windows in the downstairs bedroom, which was needed in the hot weather. One was locked shut completely and the other one was locked open a tiny amount." Thanks for the Review, which are always passed on to the Property Owner. Please report issues of concern as soon as possible - so that they can be resolved as soon as possible.
JH (April 2023): "We had a great time, the view was lovely. Very well situated within a short drive to climb Snowdonia. Clean and had all the cooking equipment needed to prepare the delicious local produce."
MA (March 2023): "A lovely home, great tranquil location with lovely view of bay. Will be returning when the sun comes out."
MF (September 2023): "Great cottage in a lovely location with amazing views! Well equipped kitchen and efficient heating system. Very clean and comfortable."
DS (August 2022): "Just wanted to thank you for a fantastic stay at the Quarterdeck. Especially appreciate the well stocked selection of coffee and your efficient handling of the washing machine. We've tried to leave everything clean."
PC 25 Jun 2022: 4 Stars "Enjoyed this particular holiday let for over eleven years, approximately twenty weeks of stays in this period. Difficult to find any negatives! Noticed neighbours understandably getting touchy regarding the parking, several now dictating there parking frontage with cones to deter. Also previously approached to move car when outside a neighbours frontage. Unfortunately the downside of living in a popular tourist destination."
DS (May 2022): 4 STARS "This was a productive and enjoyable week. There was an issue with the cleanliness. The crockery and cutlery had not been washed prior to our arrival and was in a dirty state. I assume that the previous group(s) did not use the dishwasher and that the cleaner did not fix this on the changeover day. This was the first time this has happened to us in when staying in an STS property" Sorry about the dishwasher not being like that - this shouldn't happen. It helps if Guests can switch them on before they leave - but still should be checked by the Deputy.
Mr S: "The stay worked well overall. The new double bed/mattress and furniture in the downstairs bedroom is a big improvement. We also appreciated the coffee making facility provided. The mix up over the bedding on arrival was unfortunate but quickly rectified by the helpful STS staff. We plan to return when the weather is warmer in May.
Mrs W: "Beautiful view from lounge really made the holiday special. Comfortable beds, clean accommodation, warm Everything you needed for cooking was available if eating in. Perfect location. Lovely beach walks on the doorstep."
The McD family: "Third stay in this lovely house. Will be back!"
The C family: "Another lovely holiday. The house suits young and old perfectly."
The G family: "Had a lovely week in this lovely house with its wonderful views"
The Schreiber family: "Fantastic house fantastic views fantastic holiday!"
J, C, W & J: "Our second visit to your lovely home! Very clean on arrival; fantastic weather, great views... Love the beach and want to stay forever. Will be back."
The Houghton family: "Nice view and comfy beds. Great house because it is next to the beach which we are looking over."
The T family: "2nd visit and more of us this time! Fantastic weather and a busy week. Fab house. Suited to 3 generations."
