    Fabulous location. Stunning view from the lounge window. Spotlessly clean. Very comfy sofas and beds. Great shower. Very dog friendly- beds, bowls, towels and throws for the sofa.

    Amazing location and a stunning property conveniently located above Cadwalders ice-cream shop

    couldn't fault it.

    The apartment had the most amazing sea view, was spotlessly clean, very spacious and well thought out with quality fixtures and fittings, it had an extremely comfortable bed. It was very well equipped, home from home .

    A lot of stairs not good for our arthritic dogs.

    Lovely apartment with amazing sea view. Comfortable beds, very clean and caters very well for our dogs. The only downside was you have to take the dogs to the farside beach by Dylans. Cadwaladers was great for breakfast too.

    There isn’t any negatives.

    The iris is a fantastic property . The views are absolutely amazing. Its next to the beach. Above the Cadwaladers and across from the fish and chip shop. What more could you want 😂 Parking is plentiful.

    We managed to park right outside the accommodation as it was not peak season. I'm not sure how easy it would be if it was.

    The view from the lounge window is fantastic. So relaxing. Even if it was raining, you could sit looking out of the window watching the sea and shoreline. On a clear day, you can look over the bay and see Harlech Castle. The accommodation was 5 star. Comfortable sofa and bed. Everything there that you could possibly need and more. Spotlessly clean and dog friendly. Added bonus of Cadwaladers downstairs. Wonderful ice cream and food. If you fancied something more substantial, Dylans restaurant was only a 10 minute walk along the promenade that served seafood and other dishes. After your meal, you could sit outside with your coffee, listening to the waves rolling onto the beach.

    Only the fridges humming is a bit annoying for light-sleepers.

    The view on the ocean is unbeatable. A perfect place to stay in the area. We loved absolutely everything, tasty ice-creams included. Additionaly, the place is pet friendly, so we could take our animal companion.

    I couldn't find a whisk or a sieve-although I may just not have looked in the right place and some of the blinds were difficult to get to lift due to a broken cord in the kitchen and the blind in the bedroom being very heavy, as with most holiday apartments the kitchen knives needed a bit of a sharpen, the tin opener seemed a bit temperamental and the door mat at the entrance to the property really needs updating-this is shared with the ice cream shop, so appreciate that it will mainly be the shop making it dirty, but it is due a change as it is worn out and very dirty and not terribly effective to clean feet on the way in!

    Amazing views-regardless of the weather, you can sit and watch the amazing view of the sea/beach/castle/hills, clean and comfortable apartment with good cooking facilities, we only used 1 of the bedrooms, but a good size if accommodating 4 people. The shower was lovely and nice that there were some toiletries and toilet roll provided. Easy to gain entry and lovely being above the ice cream shop which we frequented a lot during our stay! Very doggy friendly also and dog bowls and bed provided was very nice. Dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid and cloth all provided which is great as these are the things that get forgotten when coming on a self catering holiday! Great stair gates.

    The apartment was just fabulous. The views over the bay were amazing. Great location for getting to Zipwire & Snowdon. Ice cream shop below was the best, it had a new waiter & he was brilliant for just having started, an asset to the business

    The Stairs up to the accommodation would probably be daunting if you have mobility challenges, I have not long ago had a replacement knee and just kept reminding myself that it would be worth it when I got to the top. The Parking was a bit problematic but you just have to keep going round and round until hopefully a space becomes available on the near by streets but for loading or unloading for a short time parked outside Cadwallader's ice cream shop below does not hurt.

    I think as everyone who has previously stayed at the Iris has probably already mentioned, the view from the lounge window is beautiful, a forever changing picture. The accommodation was fantastic, clean, comfortable and everything had been thought off with regards to making the place feel like a home from home. We had a lovely stay Thank You
