We had a truly wonderful staysuch a beautiful home with so much space, perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. The thoughtful welcome treats left by the owners were a nice surprise too! Were already looking forward to our next visit!

Andrew

A Gem of a place in Morfa Bychan! Blackrock Gem truly lives up to its name, a home from home in every sense. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed. The detached house is beautifully kept, comfortable and homely, with everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway. Its also dogfriendly, which made it even more special for us, our chocolate lab loved it just as much as we did. The hot tub was incredible, the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the stunning local area. The location couldnt be better either close to the beach for long walks and just a short stroll to The Schooner Fish Bar, which was excellent. All in all, Blackrock Gem is exactly that, a little gem on the Welsh coast. We loved our stay and definitely feel a return is on the cards!

Excellent stay at the Blackrock Gem, perfect location to the beach, chip shop and local shop. Would def recommend this modern spacious property to any large family had everything we needed. The rain didnt stop us we managed to do lots of things around Portmadog too!

Blackrock Gem really is a gem of property. We are a party of 7 and 2 dogs and the property had everything we needed. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom was a must for my less mobile mum . The lounge and dining room accommodated us all . The kitchen was well equipped for any event . We all commented how well we slept on the very comfortable mattresses. We all enjoyed the hot tub at different times during our stay . Close enough to walk to the beach, golf on your doorstep , Black Rock Sands Beach bar a short walk away , fish and chips and convenience store two doors away . We ventured to Portmerion and Criccieth 15 minute drive away and braved Zipworld 30 minute drive away . Well placed and perfect property for lovely break in Wales

Callum

Great place to stay, was super clean and had plenty of space, great location too. Would certainly book again and would recommend highly! Thanks

We were 4 couples who booked this cottage for a relaxing long weekend with our dogs. The cottage was gorgeous however in terms of facilities I gave it 910 only because there were only 2 bathrooms and toiled gor 8 adults and this is not enough.

We all enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided and the beds were really comfortable. The spaciousness of the property meant that we could have our own space..a must when our group had an age range of nineteen to seventy six.

Georgina

We booked Black Rock Gem for a family birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. The contact with the owner before and during our stay was very welcoming and so helpful. When we arrived the property was spotless, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and the owners had thought of every detail to make the stay perfect. The location was ideal a short walk to the beautiful Black Rock Sands. Local convenience store and fish and chip shop were really useful and we had a very warm welcome from the Black Rock Beach Club where we had drinks and a lovely meal. Would most definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the property and location. Thank you again to our host that couldnt do enough to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

An absolutely superb place to stay, very clean,very modern and very comfortable, the beds especially comfy we slept like logs. The black rock sands beach is only 3 mins away in your car and it is a stunning beach for walking the dogs plus only 5 mins the other way of porthmadog town centre with loads of independent shops plus a spar,Tesco,lidles and aldi. All in all a fantastic house to stay in I look forward to visiting again .
