  • "The cottage is really well maintained, well equipped and cosy."

    Great location for exploring Snowdonia. The outside space was a nice surprise. Not sure about the 'extra' food in the cupboards, particularly the half opened things and the cottage was a little dusty with a few cobwebs which maybe due to the hard floors throughout, other than that would certainly recommend to others.

    Thank you for your feedback and we’re delighted you would recommend to others and we hope you will return to continue exploring Snowdonia! Can you give me some more details please regarding the ‘extra food’ so that I can follow this up. Many thanks. Property Owner

  • "Glan William is a beautiful and comfortable home from home."

    It has been refurbished to a high standard and is very clean, modern and comfortable. It is located in a serene and picturesque village. We had a lovely time and the host was generous in making essentials (and some non essential) items available. The pictures are accurate and depict the layout and furnishings available.

    Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Glan William and we hope to welcome you back sometime soon. Property Owner

  • "A lovely holiday cottage with everything that one would need for a great holiday in this part of North Wales."

    We really enjoyed our stay here and we cannot think of anything that we would wish to complain about. Would stay again in a flash, but as we are in the process of selling our house and moving, we are unsure of when that may be!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back to Glan William in the near future. Good luck with the house move! Property Owner

  • "The cottage was well equipped with contemporary fittings & decor."

    It was situated in very picturesque countryside near to a railway station & shop with good road links. The village pub is undergoing a complete refurbishment, so is not open at present, which was disappointing. The only complaint we have is that the double bed was extremely uncomfortable! This is such an important part of a holiday & would certainly influence our decision to return.

    Thank you for your response and feedback. Our aim is to make sure that all our guests enjoy every aspect of their stay at Glan William and since we started to let out our cottage the feedback has been positive. We will certainly take your points on board and look into this matter. Thank you. Property Owner

  • "What a lovely stay we had at Glan William May 7-14, we give our highest recommendations!"

    The cottage is renovated to a high spec, very cosy, well-equipped and has ample room for parking in front. The shower room on the ground floor is an extra plus, in our case allowing one bathroom per couple. We were very lucky with the weather (so the locals kept telling us;-) and we made good use of the lovely patio with fold-away doors to the kitchen. The cottage lies on the way to the village school, so the double room gets some noise in the morning. Alas, the local pub Y Gwydyr was temporarily closed for renovation, but that was about the only drawback of our stay. Room for improvement? The only thing we can think of is the addition of a hairdryer..;-)

    Thank you for your lovely comments and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Glan William. I'm sorry that you didn't find the hairdryer but it's in a drawer in the back bedroom. I know from staying in various places myself how useful a hairdryer is. We hope to welcome you back to our cottage at some stage. Property Owner

    Loved it so much we’ve booked another five nights there in May. Spotlessly clean, it is very well equipped and in an excellent location for exploring Snowdonia. I cannot recommend too highly.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. We were delighted that you returned and are super delighted you’ve booked for May. Property Owner

  • "Our stay in Glan William was great!"

    The house is immaculately clean and very well equipped. The owners are clearly very thoughtful, having left a little welcome bundle and some kitchen essentials (salt/pepper/oil/sponges and the sort). It is well decorated and stylishly furnished (we even went and bought some of the mugs you had, as my partner was such a big fan!). The bed was comfortable, towels clean - we couldn't have asked for more from this cost cottage nestled in the beautiful Eryri National Park!

    As with most old properties, the stairs are quite steep and narrow, could do with hand rails both sides.

    If you are a walker there are walks from the cottage and also a train station shop and pub in the village, we had a meal at the pub a few times and did a short train journey and lot’s of walking too. The area has lot’s to see and do. We enjoyed Barmouth if you like seaside and Conwy is fabulous. We would have enjoyed the outside seating area if the weather had of been better.
