    A non-slip shower mat in the bath/shower would be helpful.

    We have stayed here several times now. We love the location, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is well equipped and it's very clean on arrival. The person who manages the property - Trevor - is very helpful. An added bonus is the parking permit for a nearby garage if you can't get on road parking at the property. It's easy to walk to everything in Barmouth from the flat.

    Some mess at the flat below at the side of the property. Doesn't look great.

    Well thought out facilities. Comfortable. Clean. Great location. The fairy door for the kids with a treat they loved.

    Rather concerned by windows opening fully being on second floor, especially with coffee table placed below. A risk to families with children. Strange layout with bedroom having direct access to family bedroom. Smell of damp in bedroom leading off from bathroom. Plug broken on sink in hallway so not able to empty at all. Sink in hallway corridor

    Very large apartment. Very clean. Good location

    Could be a little noisy with people above but that’s only because your in an apartment. Didn’t effect how lovely the stay was.

    The apartment is very spacious, lovely high ceilings. Shower is brilliant. Everything you need if you need to cook. Netflix and wifi, reclining sofas was a bonus. And the treats the fairy left. So close to shops, so glad we read the booklet to show how close it is to get to the beach, without having to go into town. So lovely and peaceful, green area for the children to play and a park to the right of the property. We will definitely be coming again, the children didn’t want to leave. And were very sad to be leaving.

    Having to leave, we wanted to stay for another week!

    The location was superb for walking to the beach, the shops, the train station and local area. The facilities in the apartment were well organised and exactly what we needed for a week away. There was plenty of storage too. The living area was spacious and great for relaxing together after a busy day. The reclining sofas were an added bonus.

    Hawen, a three night stay with the fairies

    Noisy macerator in bathroom loo 😄 But, not a prob as there is a standard (quiet) standalone loo too.

    My kids and I have just returned from a Bank Holiday break at Hawen (Friday to Monday) in Barmouth. Parking is not a problem; the owner of the property contacted me in advance of our stay detailing on street parking and details of carparks. We choose to use on street parking (Epworth/Bryn Mynach Road) and didn’t struggle getting a spot for the duration of our stay (unlike many other seaside destinations). The apartment is only a few seconds walk up a slight incline and a few steps, so no major struggles with luggage. The apartment is just far enough away from the centre of Barmouth to avoid any noise, but close enough (a few hundred yards to reach it). Similarly for the excellent beach. Upon entering the apartment, you step into a spacious kitchen/dining space. The lounge, bedrooms (three) bathroom and standalone loo all lead off this. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could require – except a teapot (considering the voluminous amount of complimentary teabags and coffee this does NOT even qualify as a minor grumble). We also got a complimentary bottle of milk and some Welsh Cakes. There is no washing machine – GOOD! I’m on holiday! There is also a smart hub too. The lounge is HUGE, with two recliner sofas and two chairs looking out of the large bay window. There is a decent sized TV with all the usual terrestrial channels and free streaming services (Netflix/Amazon). And . . . a Fairy door set into the skirting board, behind which was hidden a welcoming bag of Haribo, real nice touch. The visitor info pack also asks guests to respect the fairies by keeping the noise down after 9.00pm, another nice touch I thought. The main bedroom, again, is massive. A nice comfy bed, LOTS of drawer and wardrobe space (with plenty of hangers), all of which are oak. The two other bedrooms are not huge but again, comfy beds and lots of drawer space, and my kids were very happy with them.
