Response from VrboOwner on 19 June 2023
I am incredibly sorry about this and hope it didn’t spoil your holiday. This is very disappointing to hear and unfortunate as our cleaners normally operate to the highest standards of cleanliness. We have passed your comments on to the cleaning company and they have put new measures in place for new staff so this doesn’t happen again. May I again apologise unreservedly.

Great family holiday home!

We've visited Morlais time and time again. It's spacious, clean and welcoming. Beautiful views and a short walk to the beach, it's ideal. We love it and it has suited our family with an age range of 2 years to 83 years!
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
This review is typical of the comments we have had from families who have stayed at Morlais. As a family ourselves, we know what families are looking for in a holiday rental home.

Deceptively spacious house

Lovely week in this house. We were 3 families. Made use of the 2 car park passes and were able to park the other car in the road alongside the car park. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/dining room which is a nice communal area. Showers were really powerful. Location is great for train station and walking down to the main area. Recommend the Indian restaurant and Dovey Inn.

Family holiday

We had a lovely family holiday with 9 of us (3 generations) staying in the house. It was spacious, the configuration of bedrooms worked for our family and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was great in terms of proximity to the beach and the views across the estuary were beautiful. We would have appreciated WiFi access and would have preferred for the end of holiday cleaning to be part of the package rather than having the responsibility ourselves.

Really lovely house . Excellent in all ways . Minor irritation re parking but sea side location made up for this!I would suggest instructions for eg how to operate the central heating controls . We did it by guess work . Also the rubbish had not been emptied , I suppose because of the day the bin men come doesn’t coincide with change over days.All over excellent . A lovely place to stay .Thankyou.

Nice house in quiet area

Good spot near the Penheliq hotel, easy access down into the water for paddleboarding. Short walk into the town, but great views from the house having your breakfast in the morning. Wi fi not great this end of town, so if you have a gaming child there life may be unduly impacted by the unstable internet for gaming (leave the gaming at home) 😃 Host was nice Michelle, answered queries quickly, but you do need to return the key by registered post after your stay. Cleaning could have been better by the local company, as house was mainly clean, but the hosts haven’t been for a while (hence cleaning company could have cleaned the house fully) All in all a good stay and would stay here again. The host welcomed any feedback.

Nice location

Location was great, right on the sea with great views and a short walk from amenities. Bit difficult with older, disabled relatives as only way to drop them off is to park on double-yellows on a narrow bend, then move the car up the road to the public car park (permits provided). But house was spacious and well furnished. Only thing we would have liked was a tumble dryer to deal with the wet clothes and washing.

Perfect family getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Aberdovey. The house was clean, spacious and well kitted out. The on-road location is not ideal but it didn’t seem to matter. Aberdovey had something for everyone - the beach, sand dunes, hills, shops (especially the ice cream shop!), pubs, restaurants… I needn’t have worried about the parking. Most of the time our 2 cars were parked 30m from the front door. And the car park was close by anyway. This was our first holiday in this part of the world and I’m pretty sure we’ll be coming back.

Pleasantly surprised!

It was so much roomier than I expected and very well equipped and comfortable. We liked the kitchen diner for meals and games around the table. Having two living rooms was helpful too. We had mostly lovely weather until the last two days and had great days on the beach swimming and playing games. I loved the view from my bed over the estuary! Being on the road was a slight drawback but we managed well enough with the car parking. Thank you.

Fabulous mini break in Aberdovey

From start to finish we have no complaints. We've not used this site before so were a little bit apprehensive but it was easy to choose and book a property. The property itself was stunning and in a beautiful location. As we only stayed for a short weekend break we didn't utilise the kitchen but it was well equipped and had everything you would need to cater for a large group. The owner was very helpful from the start and recommended things to do in the local area. The house was clean and perfect for what we needed. Thank you very much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Hopefully next time we can come for a longer stay 😊
