Cae Nest Hall

Very spacious property with some beautiful original features for the period of the hall. Quiet location, but close enough to local village shops, pub.

The property needs some attention and repairs doing to take it from being a good place to stay, to a great place to stay. The gardens need a lot of attention. All the grass needed cutting, above knee height. Flower beds full of weeds and the slate slabbed area off the pool room not inviting to go out and use, again full of weeds. Disappointing but easy fixes. It would be helpful to have a sign at the end of the driveway so you know where to go. The approach road from the village is very narrow and once you go past the driveway you cannot turn around and go back.

Beautiful property and provided the perfect level of quiet and relax we needed

Nothing, it was well equipped and comfortable

It was a great large house with plenty of space for a group of 11 people. It was in a good location for us to climb Snowdon, Cwm Idwal, Cader Idris and walk the Mawddach Trail. Ideal for days trips to Caernarfon, Menai Straits, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula!

On arrival no heating or hot water but the owners soon resolved this and wouldn’t put us off coming again

The house was stunning, the area was beautiful and perfectly located near Harlech castle and Barmouth. The bedrooms were all en-suite which was good. The host was very attentive and tried to fix any issues immediately. We paid a great value price (much cheaper than usual maybe due to time of year) considering the house was so large with all en-suite bedrooms.

As it was a very old building with old windows the property was cold until the heating kicked in. Could benefit from some heaters downstairs in the lounge areas as these struggled to warm up. The house was tired and had little things broke/worn in places. Overall it wasn’t as clean as we would have expected, with dirty floors in kitchen and some bathrooms not cleaned well enough, which I believe is the cleaning company’s failure not the host. The cleaners actually accused us of leaving a dirty bed sheet with dog mess in the cupboard of one of the bedrooms which is absolutely not true and did not belong to us at all. The hot water didn’t work in a couple of bedrooms due to an old system being on a timer. This was fixed once a gentleman came to look at the issue the next day. There was other dogs in the farm/houses nearby which came onto the land a lot and wandered about the garden. There was lots of dog excrement all over the grounds which was not ideal if enjoying the outside areas. I would not have been happy paying a higher price considering the issues we had.
