Bella Vista is a comfortable family home in an excellent location with wonderful views, and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed our stay so much last year that we returned this summer, and we would happily stay there again. That said, we thought the house is starting to be in need of some attention. It is still very clean, but the staircase paintwork is well worn now, the kitchen oven, microwave and some of the tiles are due a deep clean, and some of the bedroom furniture/ fittings need fixing. We cleaned the worst of the tiles( by the dishwasher), and mended one of the twin bedroom drawers, but the rest was beyond us. We also cleaned some of the windows, but again, they could do with more attention - I imagine some of this is difficult to arrange, but it’s a shame to spoil the lovely views with dirty windows. I would still recommend this as a lovely holiday location, but with a little attention it would be perfect. And having stayed during the first heatwave, we realised that a garden shade would be welcome too!

Lovely short break at Bella Vista, second time staying there. Very comfortable and has everything you need. We especially loved the short walk to the beach with the dog. Would recommend

Bella Vista is a lovely family house in a great position. It is located in a quiet cul de sac overlooking the pitch and put golf course and sauna. They hire canoes and SUPs in the Summer too. There are stunning views of the castle and it is a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Sea views from upstairs are lovely and it is a warm and cosy house. Off road parking is good. Large garden. The table tennis table was much appreciated. There is not much lounge seating if there are 8 of you but there are plenty of dining chairs and some pouffes and giant bean bags. There is only one TV (fire stick channels only) - a second TV may be useful for some? Be aware there is also only one shower (although there is also a lovely bath with a handheld shower in the other bathroom). Didn’t find any information on arrival (such as when to put bins out, wifi code, suggestions for places to visit etc) as we have in other properties but we contacted Oyster Holiday Cottages and had swift and professional responses. There was no welcome pack either (not promised but again it was the first property we have stayed in that didn’t have anything at all on arrival. Most places have left a few basics such as milk/tea and coffee or wine/biscuits etc). No visitor book. Lovely walk to shops and restaurants and the railway station. Pleasant walks from the house along the coast and inland. A great base for touring locally or for days out further afield on the Llyn Peninsula, Snowdonia, and Anglesey. We hope to return as it’s a great family house for an extended family holiday. Thank you.

Enjoyed a lovely week in this beautiful house. A little information regarding bins would have been helpful. Also a guest book to enable us to leave our comments would be nice.
