Gorse Bank Reviews

Gorse bank is an exceptional holiday cottage, perfectly located and extremely well equipped. I would highly recommend and would definitely book again.
A superb holiday , we loved the views and character of Gorse Bank and the direct beach access was a real privilege to have . We didn't say good bye when we left , we said see you again soon ! .
Just got back from a beautiful week at Gorsebank the weather was terrible, but it simply didnt matter here. We had everything we needed from arrival. The owner had really thought about what you would need and it was supplied. Im just disappointed I didnt get to the Bara Brith before my brother did. The house was beautifully maintained, dont normally venture into a hot tub but this one was exceptionally cleaned and well looked after. The view from the property was majestic. Looking forward to our return.
Claire
Fantastic location for a holiday cottage panoramic views of the Snowdonia National Park. We spent hours sat on the balcony watching tides come in and out, and watching harbour life. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Abersoch offered lots of good dining opportunities as well as great coastal walks.
Sandra
The location and views were stunning however car parking is very limited with space for 2 cars only, one of which is in a garage and another immediately in front of it. We had to pay 45 per night for overnight parking at the golf club as there are parking restrictions everywhere else. Also we have been charged over 200 for a 1cm damage to the underside of the hot tub cover! No evidence to prove it was us and nothing apparently we can do about it which has totally spoiled our holiday experience.
Lovely property.
