Arran House Reviews

Beautiful location. Great views from the lounge. Parking permit a great help.

Maxine

Great position in the town. Lovely view from the lounge. There are a lot of stairs that are quite narrow but we knew that before we arrived so not a problem. Communication with owner was really good and sorted our small problems out straight away with our hesitation. Water pressure in the kitchen was very slow but assumed that was from the work being down on the road outside. Unloading the car was difficult but again this was due to the road works outside. We had to park across the road and make one or two journeys. Hopefully that wont go on for much longer. Lots of great places to eat and drink around the town. Beach was lovely and clean. Great for walking the dog. Had a really good time.

Couldnt fault the property it was amazing, however lol a chest freezer would be ideal, next to the microwave up the corner, could only fit a few ice lols in the compartment above the fridge, and it would be a great amenity as some people do like to get the Iceland shop in

Stopped at Arran house twice now, the view from the loft day and night is amazing, handy for Barmouth town centre especially when the crowds have gone just pop into Davy Jones locker or lobster pot in a morning, love the place Didn't trouble me but know the stairs are steep and narrow, bedrooms are roomy but love the loft space, would definitely stay again

Arran house has s beautiful location and the view from the top floor lounge is tranquil, however wifi and TV reception was a bit hit and miss but did not mar our holiday. If you have a pet there us no outside area and the current roadworks across the road made it difficult to let thd dog out for relief early mornings and nighttime. The house is nicely decorated and very pleasant, even joyed our stay.

Claire

Wow! What a fabulous location. This was a perfect place for me and my dog. It was warm, cosy and had everything I needed. Fabulous shower too.The view from the living room is so beautiful. I only used my car twice in the week. So many great walks from the property and many trips to the beach for dog zoomies. I did wonder if the railway and traffic might be an issue, but it was actually nice seeing the odd train rumble past and, despite the traffic lights road works right outside, it was quiet inside. I totally feel in love with Arron House.

Lorraine

We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything we needed was on hand it was a very warm and comfortable place, including the welcoming pack wish was very useful as we came down on the train and would certainly recommend it to anybody

Brynle

Aran House is a lovely house, The senary from the lounge on top floor is fantastic, Shame that the stairs are a little narow and a little steep, But if I was a little slimer and a little fiter, Itwould have not been a problem, Certainly a lovely houe, and wel looked after, I give this house full marks, And certainly would consider going there again, Thank you for such lovely place to stay.

Deborah

A great holiday home. It clearly says in the listing about the stairs. Three flights, its a four storey property. Which to be fair if your fit and healthy they won't be a problem. There is a childs bed on the second floor. But again this is perfect for any child and the owners have i think catered for this leaving toys etc.The view is amazing and we had some great photos from there. The kitchen has everything you need. But the local pubs and cafs are great for dinning out. A large dinning area comfy and great for meal times and afternoon tea. We enjoyed it and would stay there again.

Sharon

Wonderful holiday in a perfectly positioned holiday home. We loved the picture window and INCREDIBLE views. We left our car in the carpark with the permit provided, and we used the bus and train to get about this beautiful area. We loved everything about our holiday. The stairs were a good workout in the morning with our cup of tea, but it was worth it at the top. Thank you for having us.

Just returned from a lovely week in Barmouth, staying at Arran house. The property had everything we could require including a great selection of dvds in case of rainy days toddler toys and play mats. A well equipped kitchen, chuffed about that

Rowena

We really liked this place. Great location too.

Had a lovely week at Arran House and the facilities were exactly as stated. Last flight of stairs were a bit of a challenge but then we knew that so it's not a complaint

Tracey

A wonderful cottage despite the steep stairs in a perfect location. Really enjoyed my stay. The only thing I'd add is that the main bedroom really needs blackout blinds or blackout curtains. It's so bright in the room at night with a street light right outside the window.

Rebekah

Had an amazing time here absolutely priceless view of the harbour! Right in the hub of shops, pubs and cafes.

Claire

Absolutely lovely property. Loved the layout with the big lounge across the top floor from which the views from the picture window are amazing. Kids rooms above the master bedroom which gave a sense of safety. The house was like a home from home, clean, comfortable and inviting with everything you need for a home from home stay. We took our little dog and even though there is no outside space, just open the front door and you have a garden and a beach across the road, Barmouth Bay is in your doorstep! Fabulous location and highly recommended.

A beautiful comfortable home tastefully decorated with an excellent view from every room especially the top floor living room which is well worth the 3 flights of stairs climb. Everything you need for a perfect family holiday which is close to everything the town has to offer. Communication with the owner was great shes happy to help and goes over and above to make sure you have a nice time. Thank you we will be back to beautiful Barmouth xxx

Absolutely gorgeous. Best location and best views! A lot of stairs to climb but well worth it. Everything you need. The best nights sleep ever! Definitely going back

Fantastic location, the view from the living room is crazy good, the kitchen had everything you need, and the shower was strong. The only thing would be the stairs, if you have any mobility issues it would be a problem. Once you climb the stairs the reward of the views is worth it though.

Louise

This is a wonderfully located property with the most amazing views and brilliant access to the town. Very clean and owner contacted us on arrival to check in with us. We would absolutely stay here again but as previous review said I feel some extra facilities would definitely improve stay. The first floor bedroom is very light at night and although some people may like this maybe some blackout blinds or curtains would help people who prefer it darker to sleep. The lounge area may also benefit from more seating in the unused space behind the settee. There was information about a dishwasher but we were not able to find. Generally perhaps a bit more information on leaving eg where does recycling go and a few more facilities in kitchen eg bread bin, bin liners ect. Had a lovely stay we wish this to constructive as we would definitely stay again. Thanks

The views from the cottage are spectacular the only down 4 is the stairs if you have got old people in your party we felt that there could be Some chairs down in the dining area am more facilities like Some trsys to carry drinks up to the lounge am but otherwise very very nice

Joanne
