“The house was everything I needed ...”

The house was everything I needed for my stay couldn’t fault a thing

The house was everything I needed for my stay couldn’t fault a thing

“Broken back door. Contacted owner ...”

Broken back door. Contacted owner who did not rectify it saying he will get a new one when things quieten down in the season. Therefore could not let the dog out or put rubbish out.

“The property was poorly managed and ...”

The property was poorly managed and maintained by the owner. We had issues collecting the key as the property hadn't been cleaned for the time we'd arranged (4pm). We weren't actually able to get in until after 6pm which was a nightmare after a day of travelling. Phoned Sykes who were brilliant about the situation and helped us to resolve. Later on that same day we had to call the owner out as the bathroom tap was broken meaning we were unable to bath or shower. Overall the property was ok, but various points let it down, wallpaper peeling away from walls, cleaning not thorough, broken back door etc. With a bit of maintenance could be really great, especially as it is in such a fantastic location!

“The house was very will situated ...”

The house was very will situated for places to go and visit in the area and beyond. Very quiet area and bus service and train service's are good as well could not really find any faults. In the village co-op,chip shop,cafe's, take aways, and to top it off pub at the top of the road that serves meal's as well as drinks. We enjoyed our stay there.

“We didn't hear from the host, so ...”

We didn't hear from the host, so didn't know how to collect the keys until I message them, only to find out we had to wait an hour longer than the website said due to collecting from a chip shop that didn’t open until 16.00hrs. We specifically chose this cottage due to the garden and 'garden furniture' advertised, there was two old garden chairs, one of which was broken so we couldn't use. Bed was comfy, linen and towels were fresh and clean. Patio doors broken and difficult to close, we didn't even bother locking them on one night which wasn't secure. Place was a little dirty inside cupboards etc, which was a shame as its a lovely little cottage, in a great location. So much potential

“The house was very clean and ...”

The house was very clean and tastefully decorated, the bedrooms were gorgeous. It was well situated for us to visit the mountains and ride the heritage railways. We had 3 very pleasant nights there and the local chip shop is excellent.

“Very nice cottage. Close enough to ...”

Very nice cottage. Close enough to all major attractions that Snowdonia has to offer. Bit tricky to find a parking space in a close proximity to the cottage but not impossible.

“Ian was very helpful.”

Ian was very helpful.

“The owner was very pleasant and ...”

The owner was very pleasant and welcoming. The cottage was cosy and comfortable with a good firm bed (very small bathroom) but all the amenities that we needed.However it was not as clean as we expected. The wardrobe door slats were broken at the bottom and the sheets in the main bedroom were so crumpled that I had to iron them before we could get into bed. All that aside we had a very enjoyable stay.

- Mrs Brown, January 2018
“Great place to stay for exploring ...”

Great place to stay for exploring the nearby seaside places. Cottage small and compact great for us as a couple, and two dogs. Only draw back was parking, which was roadside but only if you could get a space. Great price and facilities.

The property

A traditional mid-terrace cottage in a great central location in the popular mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park.

This delightful cottage is ideal for a couple, small family or two friends looking for a base from which to explore this lovely part of North Wales.

Full of charm and character with exposed beams in the sitting room, offering cosy and homely accommodation, this pretty cottage has two tastefully-styled bedrooms, a king-size and a single, and a bathroom upstairs.

Downstairs a modern, light and well-appointed kitchen with dining area and patio doors, which lead to a lovely outside decked area, is an ideal place for that early morning cup of coffee.

The welcoming sitting room with two comfy sofas and a lovely warming electric woodburning-effect fire, is perfect to relax in front of after an exciting day spent on the mountains, exploring the old quarries, hidden lakes and natural waterfalls.

Outside, the rear decked patio area has furniture, so you can make the most of warm summer evenings and enjoy some alfresco dining or simply relax with a glass of something cold after a day walking on the mountains.

Blaenau Ffestiniog itself has good amenities with a selection of independent shops, pubs, eating establishments and tea rooms all within a five minute walk, and the Fish Restaurant and Take Away is definitely worth a visit!

There is superb access to Snowdonia from here with an abundance of walks and cycling trails, Antur Stiniog’s downhill mountain bike centre is less than a mile away and the largest mountain bike trail centre in Wales, Coed-y-Brenin, just a twenty minute’ s drive.

Blaenau Ffestiniog also hosts Zip World Titan and Zip World Caverns and Bounce Below, all located at Llechwedd Slate Caverns.

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog is only a short drive away, or for something a little more relaxing take the train there!

The world-famous Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam railway, will take you through some of the most spectacular Snowdonia scenery.

The Italianate village of Portmeirion is definitely worth a visit and there are miles and miles of sandy beaches all within easy reach.

There is so much to see and do in the area and this is a great Blaenau Ffestiniog cottage for enjoying both coast and country, with something to please everyone!
