"Absolutely beautiful property in gorgeous surroundings, lovely welcoming food hamper on arrival."
Hot tub was great used every day. Great location, Snowdon mountain 15-20 min drive away, Whistling sands beach a bit further, Anglesey, the beautiful Caenarfon castle 10 min away, lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away. Loved it, hosts Angela and Bryn welcoming and very helpful. The only niggle was the bedroom with ensuite didn't have any storage so lived out of suitcases.

"Lovely spacious property, good to have the pool table/ darts room attached to the property, and the hot tub was at a constant warm temperature."
Really nice location. Would definitely return and recommend to others. My only suggestion would be maybe a few more bits in the kitchen, pasta bowls, sieve, tongs etc Just because I do like to cook for half the holiday. Also a mop, just to mop up drips from coming in from hot tub. Overall a definite 5/5

"The cottage was advertised as having wifi however the wifi didn't work at all."
When we asked we were told this was because the cottage was in the countryside, however we have stayed at similar places before which do have wifi. I don't think that these days it can be 5 star without good wifi. We were unable to watch Netflix etc on the smart TV and there was no DVD player provided. The hot tub was lovely and the cottage was well placed for driving to different places.
Thank you for your valued feedback and I am sorry about the disappointment you had with the wifi. My recollection from Bryn was that the wifi had been slow. However I did check with recent guests and they said it was ok. This is not the first comment we've received about the wifi so I contacted BT to check the line and they did find a fault. It has since been addressed and is now working perfectly..
Again apologies for the inconveniense.

"This lovely cottage feels really special."
It’s so peaceful yet close to local attractions. The cottage is beautiful inside, very comfortable and clean and the underfloor heating kept all the rooms and living areas warm. Our highlight was the hot tub. We loved it! The weather was mixed during our stay but the hot tub is lovely and warm whatever the weather. I can imagine this property is even more of a pleasure in the summer months. We would definitely recommend it and would return.

"We really enjoyed our stay."
The property is immaculate, well furnished (including good outdoor seating...a first I can tell you!) And very well situated...a quiet location but right near the A road meaning nothing is too far away. Dinas Dinlle beach was a real find as well, it's beautiful. The facilities in the property are excellent, with a lovely kitchen and utility room.
Bryn and his wife were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we could possibly need.

Loved the hot tub and the facilities.
There were only a few very minor points that would have been nice due to the hot weather: to have been able to open the bi-fold doors and because there are doors not windows bedrooms it can get hot at night so fans would have been nice.
Also some hangers on the back of the bedroom doors would be handy to hang towels if sharing bathroom or dressing gowns.

"Superb property."
High standard, tasteful accommodation with an extremely responsive and pleasant owner. The house is simply excellent, enhanced by wonderful gardens and surrounds. It has been modernised and decorated to a very high standard. It was an excellent base from which to explore the area and, with young children to consider, its many beaches. It was a haven to return to in the evening with its lovely BBQ area and, of course, the hot tub. All the basics are there; ample fridge and freezer space and a handy utility room. Plentiful bathroom and shower spaces. I have absolutely nothing negative to say, not even a “would be even better if …. “. We loved it.

"Style over substance."
Just a few comments.
Using 1 curtain in 2 of the bedrooms didn't cover the window. Mornings in May begin very early without sufficient curtain cover.
The ensuite room lacks any clothes storage except a coat hooks. We lived out of a suitcase for a week. Very disappointing and the standard we expected.
The furniture is of high quality but far too big for the space you have to shuffle past the end of the bed to get to the other side.
The glass doors face into the parking area and next doors parking!! a voile or privacy blind would be appropriate.
The hot tub is a great addition to the property, but thought again to privacy as next door was sat watching us.
Overall a great holiday accommodation, good spec. Hopefully they will address our comments especially the clothing storage as this proved irritating for part of our group.

Thank you for your feedback.You raised some valid points with some aspects of your stay which we will address. These points have not been a problem before. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the space in the third bedroom. I do recall that you requested information regarding the that bedroom and I confirmed that there was a 1 foot space from the bed to the wall. The glass doors do not face into a parking area you chose to put your car there. With regard to the hot tub, we do feel that the neighbours are far enough away to allow privacy for any guests and it would be a shame to obstruct any views by adding a privacy screen. We also believe that the property is as advertised in the description and pictures.
Thank you again for your overall view on the property and for the positive comments you gave us when you were staying at the property.

This was our second stay and we were not disappointed. Hosts extremely friendly and helpful, and we were very lucky with some sunny weather.
Reading back through several feedback entries we concur that with some minor attention and a few additions this would be an even more enjoyable place to stay. Particularly the addition of blinds to the bedroom skylights, and attention to the poor toilet flushing system in the bathroom.
That said, we would recommend a stay and would not rule out returning for a third holiday.

"This was a lovely cottage in a good location."
The owners were on site and available. There were, however, a couple of snags that could easily be rectified. It definitely needs blinds on the sky lights in the bedrooms - a major drawback . It also lacks a few finishing touches - radio, DVD player, tv in bedroom and essentials such as enough toilet rolls, a couple of dishwasher tablets, bin bags etc to start the holiday. The pool room is not really suitable as it is too small to use the cues.
Overall a nice cottage which could be better with a little finesse.

"The cottage was everything we'd hoped it would be, absolutely immaculate, the kitchen felt brand new and was really spacious, one suggestion would be that it did need more cooking equipment such as ceramic dishes or serving bowls, I had to use a roasting tin to make a lasagne and dauphinois potatoes."
The living area was lovely really well furnished to a high quality. The bedrooms were perfect, all king-size beds, bathroom was good with rainfall shower. One thing we felt was missing was a welcome pack, just for things like the WiFi details and heating instructions, the cottage was full underfloor heated which was a luxury but we would have liked to turn the heat down some nights to use the log burner but even when we turned the thermostat off in the kitchen and living area the room remained heated. Overall though our stay was perfect and I'd most definitely recommend it to anyone.

"The cottage was very nicely presented, warm and comfortable."
We had a number of minor niggles. There was no information/welcome pack telling us anything about how things worked etc.
There were not enough glasses, cups and crockery so when the dishwasher was full, there was a distinct shortage of stuff. Most of the kitchen cupboards were empty, so it’s not as if there was no room to keep things.
There was not enough variety of things to cook with, such as a good selection of bakeware, pots and pans.
Most of the toilets were difficult to flush. One had a very loose toilet seat and most had no loo brush.
There were no cleaning products.
There were no chopping boards and not a good selection of food preparation knives.
Extra towels and tea towels would be nice.
They could do with a selection of books, games, jigsaws etc. for rainy days. Guests will often leave things like that, but it would be good to get a collection going. There are lots of empty cupboards to keep things like that in.
These are just minorniggles and should’ve taken as suggestions to improve the visitor experience. We had a lively time there and the property is In an excellent location close to lots of great places to visit. Would definitely recommend it.

"Really enjoyed our stay at Beudy'r Wennol."
Lovely barn conversion, with lots of space for 6 adults. Loved the open plan kitchen/living room and spent many hours sitting at the kitchen table enjoying meals and playing games with our family. 3 nice bedrooms (although one of them doesn't have any drawers/hanging space which is a bit inconvenient). Beds were large and comfy. Nice gardens both front and back (although the lawns could have done with being cut before we arrived). A few suggestions for improvements:
1. More utensils/cooking equipment in the kitchen - only had 2 small frying pans, no large deep frying pan or wok so we had to go and buy one. Also, very little in the way of dishes/oven dishes to prepare meals in, again we had to purchase one. Such a beautiful kitchen should be better equipped for cooking meals for 6 people. Also no oven gloves which proved challenging.
2. Would be nice if there were things like washing up liquid/bin liners/kitchen roll provided.
3. Inadequate recycling bins - 3 small boxes for both properties (we were unable to put out a lot of our rubbish)
4. Insufficient garden furniture for 6 people - we were unable to all sit outside at the same time as there were only 4 chairs (2 at the front and 2 at the back which we had to keep moving around to follow the sun). Also a bigger table to seat 6 so that meals could be eaten outside
5. Bathroom toilet didn't flush very well and en-suite toilet had a leak.
6. Blinds of some sort on the skylights - very light very early in the mornings!
7. No point in having the pool table as there is not enough room around it play properly
PS Thanks for the lovely fruit cake which we enjoyed on our arrival :-)

"Absolutely stunning property, it felt like we were staying in our dream home."
We couldn’t believe it from the moment we stepped in, it was so worth the long drive. So warm with the underfloor heating, and a cosy wood burner as well. We didn’t use the woodburner as much as we thought as the strong winds ate up the logs quickly and the underfloor heating is so good on its own. Lots of space for cooking yummy meals with all the utensils you need. We climbed Snowdon while we were there and it was lovely coming back to a hot bath and warm floor under our feet. The furniture and decor are gorgeous, the beds are like clouds. Didn’t want to leave! It must be even better in summer when you can use the garden too. We will definitely book again and recommend this place very highly to anyone thinking of booking. Only small things were the charger socket in the bathroom doesn’t work, it would be nice to have some curtains in the living room/kitchen (might be just me though :)) and the toilets don’t have great water flow for flushing. The owner was helpful as we arrived late she kindly checked on us later the next morning. Thank you for a great stay in such a beautiful place.
