  • "Wonderful cottage, full of character in a fabulous location."

    We loved our stay. The cottage is in a quiet area, yet only 1 mile from the village. Amazing waterfall only 50m behind the cottage, with cycling and walking paths right on your doorstep. Plenty of private gated parking, and lovely wrap around gardens. You can hear the waterfall from the gardens. Really comfortable spacious accommodation and the welcome scones were a lovely surprise. The cottage was lovely and warm with the added benefit of the log burner, which made it feel really homely. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Highly recommended if you want to get away to a quite spot, but still have all the modern comforts. Lovely owners.

    The cottage is beautifully maintained and when we had a little issue with the electrics the owners resolved it very quickly.

All in all a wonderful place to relax with fantastic walks from the door....And the cream and scones to welcome is a lovely touch!

  • "I had an amazing time during my stay at Nant Cottage."

    The cottage was well equipped with everything I needed and couldn’t have wished for more. Whether it be relaxing by the fire watching TV or sitting in the garden reading, Nant cottage offers everything. It is also perfectly situated near the town of Llanwrst with all the local amenities you could need whilst also still being secluded away for your own privacy and peace. Plus, the waterfall nearby to the property adds an extra charm that you truly have to experience to appreciate. I would highly recommend this property and the owners are very kind and their hospitality was more than appreciated. I hope to stay again soon

    We were very lucky to have sunny days and made the most of it exploring the waterfalls, walks and visiting areas such as Llandudno , Anglesey as well as Betwys y Coed, Snowdonia so many to mention taking in all the scenery by car, rail and on foot. Absolutely loved our trip and could have spoken to Adrian and Kathleen for hours about the history of the cottage . All of their hard work has definitely paid off. Thank you too for our welcome scones cream and jams and chocs too . Very much appreciated after our journey to the area.

  • "Nant Cottage has lots of great features inside and out including a secret room."

    The cottage is spacious, well equipped and is looked after. Set in its own grounds and nicely isolated it really feels like getting away from it all. The local town has everything we needed and it is a really good location to set off for walks, the mines, mountains, the coast or other local villages. The welcome pack was very nice and appreciated. There is ample parking. My only minor level of concern was the narrow spiral staircases and the ropes used as a stair rail. I would be very cautious if I had young children with me. We would seriously consider booking again if we have the chance to return and do more exploring of the Snowdonia National Park.

  • "Beautiful location."

    Wonderful property. Unhappy that it states there is BT Vision when there is not. (When inclement weather would be nice to have some choice of viewing and it was very very limited.). There is a smart TV separate but no code to access any other channels, so waste of time. Also surprised to see "strict" Wi-fi availability. Meaning just simple 18+ viewing on you tube or similar or 18 rated films etc are curtailed.

    Thank you for letting us know you were dissatisfied with the television coverage at the cottage. We needed BT Vision some time ago as the signal at Nant Cottage was poor. However recently transmission was upgraded and gave the same coverage as BT Vision. We have removed the 18+ restrictions from the wyfi mentioned. Guests can obtain various networks (Netflics) using their own codes. Property Owner

  • "It was such a lovely, relaxing stay at Nant Cottage."

    The location is excellent, with walks, mountain bike trails and nature right on your doorstep. The cottage itself had everything you need, even with little touches like bird seed to feed the birds in the garden. The cream tea on arrival is a lovely touch, as is the log fire, it just made it such a cosy break. The Grey Mare's Tail waterfall is within walking distance and is beautiful. We had such a relaxing time and would come back if we were staying in the area again. The only thing I would suggest as an addition if it was something the owners wanted to consider, is a bike store so that it opens the cottage up more to those wanting to make use of the local trails. Thanks for a great stay!

    Waterfalls under the house, plenty space for the cars to park. Beautiful gardens. The kitchen is big, tidy and full of everything you need for cooking. The living room is cozy. The baskets full of the logs are great. Rooms are clean, big, quiet. Nice view from every window you look out. The landlady and landlord are very friendly, helpful, nice people. The welcome us with some traditional welsh groceries. That was great start of our stay. There is tea and coffee there too. So after the long journey you can only relax and plan trip for another day. The Spar shops are well stocked for all you need. And all trips we did are close to this lovely house. There is birds, squirrels and we saw weasels too. We really enjoy the week stay here.

  • "Nant Cottage has modern conveniences considering it is a Grade II listed building."

    The gardens are stunning (look for the hidden wild garden through the hedge). Very peaceful location and perfect for walking and sight seeing historic castles and abbeys all in easy access. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Apart from a few spindly spiders (as expected in a stone cottage in the countryside) there were no other spiders anywhere within the cottage! Impressed that there were no webs at all on the ceiling beams and place was extremely clean. The second lounge has been moved upstairs (photos on site need updating) and one of the double bedrooms moved downstairs. Makes sense as there are two sets of wooden spiral staircases to access upstairs. There are two TVs at the property and the upstairs lounge has a Smart TV! Bonus! Squirrels and rabbits in the front garden. Trees surrounding all sides. Perfect! The property and hygiene levels are a credit to the owners, would definitely recommend this property.

    If you like to know about such things, persuade the friendly and welcoming owners of the property to tell you a little of its history. Remember, this is a genuine old buidling, so expect the little quirks of such a place. There is a beautiful double waterfall, The Grey Mare's Tail, which rushes down just beyond the house, you can visit it via a gate just up the road.

Good usable spaces in idyllic surroundings. WiFi and TV signal we're both good but we had no mobile reception in case that's important to some. There was a BT landline available for a small charge. The cottage was well equipped with all bedding, towels, soaps etc. plus a welcome pack of scones with jam and cream.

    We were greeted by the owners and the scones and cream / jam that also greeted us were delicious, fresh milk and tea / sugar / two types of coffee. A lot of thought has gone into the many little extras that are in abundance in the cottage, plenty of toilet rolls / small travel bottles of body wash / shampoo and hand body lotion / shower cap in the bathroom, The cottage itself is very isolated on the edge if the forest and with steep incline roads going of all around it but it's very quiet and peaceful, it is reached by a little bridge over a stream and has a gate to open on entrance and departure every time, a larger vehicle could possibly have difficulty with this as the bridge is narrow and the entry / road has limited space to manoeuvre it is also positioned just after turning a bend. If you don't like or are not use to comple darkness then I'd suggest taking a night light as it is extremely dark once the lights are out. The cottage was situated close enough to everything we wanted do and see, the large fridge freezer made food shopping easy as we did one main shop at Tesco in porthmadog for our week's stay. This is definitely a place I'd return to.

    Very well stocked/equipped kitchen, with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Pretty gardens too. It was ideal for our family including our two young, noisy granddaughters! No neighbours to disturb! Cosy wood burner for the chilly evenings. The only downside ( and I’m being very picky here) is the bathroom is located downstairs next to the utility room, which is a bit of a trek in the middle of the night from the back bedroom. However There is a cloakroom attached to the main front bedroom which is obviously handy. All in all a lovely holiday was had, and if we come back to the area, we will definitely stay at the cottage again.
