| "Property was in overall excellent condition very centrally located for our intended day trips.
It appears that the property had at one time both a dishwasher and electric clothes dryer, neither of which are currently included. We were disappointed in missing clothes dryer but were able to satisfactorily air dry our clothes. The absence of a clothes dryer was certainly a concern initially.
We would recommend addition of maps/ directions for local restaurants/ pubs/ grocery stores it would prove helpful for future guests.
Minor nits overall a very nice rental."

| "The chapel was absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend it to anybody. The high spec that the chapel has be refurbed with was beyond my expectations and meant we had a 5* weekend away. The surrounding area is beautiful and a trip to The Grapes is a must! The main bedroom is beautiful and very decadent. A huge thank you to Steve Gold for all his hard work before our visit, it certainly made for a worry free break away."

We enjoyed everything, except the cold weather!! the decoration is lovely and we had such a good feeling staying there together with an eye on the white mountain in front of us. We would like to come back one day."

| "We were 8 friends (4 couples) traveling together. This property offered us the space and privacy we needed with the added bonus of elegant surroundings. On arrival the property was generally clean and tidy however a few things had been overlooked. The microwave needed to be cleaned before it could be used and it would be more pleasing if the refrigerator had been cleaned out. We needed to throw away quite a few suspicious looking containers of what had once been food before we could load in our own provisions. The neighbors told us we should have been provided with a wheely bin for our recyclables. The beautiful and functional laundry room was a godsend. Bedrooms and baths were immaculate upon ariival and well provisioned. The kitchen had plenty of plates, flatware, glasses and cooking utensils. The pub (:Oakely Arms) and Restaurant (Mo's) near the property should be classified as national treasures. They both provide convenient and tasty meals with genuine warmth and hospitality. The parking was excellent and althought the road was busy we had no trouble entering or exiting the spaces provided. The highway noise was ever present but not bothersome. We were more interested in the lovely pastoral view with mountains rising beyond pastures filled with bouncing baby sheep. We hope to return someday."

| "Eight of us stayed at the Chapel for a week over the Easter period in 2007, and we loved it - it really made our holiday very special indeed, and we have all missed having such lovely views to wake up to every morning! The place is so luxuriously spacious and the design and decor of the place is beautiful, very unique, and a good example of a modern design working well in an ancient building. Although it faces a busy road it is surprisingly quiet; none of the bedrooms are on that side of the building anyway.
The only real criticism for us, and it's a minor one, is that we found the electric hobs a bit annoying (in that all electric hobs are annoying compared to gas!). If you suffer from vertigo I suggest you don't stay in one of the second-floor rooms, it's quite high up!!
Also of note to visitors in 2007 is the pub in the village (called the Grapes I think?) is closed for a major refurbishment at the moment - but there is another pub a short walk on the road towards Porthmadog which is very nice too.
We recommend going white-water rafting at Canolfan Tryweryn - see www.ukrafting.co.uk - which is about 30-40mins drive away. Great fun!"

| "seven of us stayed at the chapel and had a wonderful time over new year 2006/2007.
The chapel is very spacious, warm and comfortable with an up to date feel about it.
Location is excellent, with fantastic views and some excellent walking locations nearby.
We would have liked to seen some history about the chapel and some before and after photo's of the chapel conversion.
Our wives would have liked to see a few more kitchen utensils i.e casserole dishes and plastic measuring jug. Other than that the place is well kitted out.
A very big thank you to Steve Gold for his excellent and friendly service.
We would rate this property a 5 star, brilliant thanks, Steedman and Constable family."

| "The property is good on the web site, but it's even better in person. Immaculately clean and furnished to a high standard. It's a beautiful family home, really.
In a perfect location for sightseeing. There is plenty in the area to do for both young and old. Our party ranged from 10 years to 83 years, and everyone was absolutely thrilled with their week in Wales.

| "Superb roomy property in a good central location which coped with 8 people brilliantly. It's unique and seeing is believing - the owners have gone that little step further - tea and coffee in cupboards, numerous towels, lots of books, videos even a games console - and thats just a few of the extra touches which earn the chapel its 5* award.
As an added bonus theres a pub serving good food just around the corner.

We were very well looked after and the chapel was wonderfully equipped. It was complete luxury. The bathrooms and bedrooms were out of this world. I believe it has won an award and rightly so. We are going there again because a weekend break just wasn't long enough."

The location is very central for visiting lots of places of interest and the whole area is stunningly beautiful. I would highly recommend this accomodation as the perfect place to enjoy a truely peaceful holiday. Well done to the owners who I believe won an award for the conversion, well deserved!"
