• "Just come back from staying 4 days in this lovely cottage."

  Very clean and had everything we needed. The instruction/information pack left by the owner was fantastic. Ideal cottage to use as a base, if exploring the surrounding area. Our only feedback, was when taking our dog out at night to go to the toilet, the back garden steps were narrow and steep,with no lighting or handrail. Apart from that, we would definitely stay there again, and recommend to family and friends.

• "This little cottage was perfect for our stay."

  It was cosy, clean & fully equipped for our needs. There were plenty of fresh clean towels, toilet rolls,hand soap,sanitiser,washing up liquid & even some tea/ coffee & sugar sachets to get us started. Plenty of books & dvds & Now tv for those quiet days in. The cottage did get a bit chilly in the morning & evening but warms up very quickly & stays warm when you put the fire or heating on for 10 mins. The co op/ Morriston & chip shop to name a few are within walking distance as is the train station. Or Porthmadog where you will find a large tesco is only 20 minite drive.. we spent our week in Bleanau alternating between days out & staying in & it was perfect. Can't thank Helen enough for letting us stay in your home.

• "First of all wrong address sent by owner sat nav took us an hour away from correct address."

  House is in the middle of run down properties in a run down village. The house smells of dog and damp , carpet is stained and dirty, garden is a death trap as too is walking out the front door onto the main road. We were offered £40 discount off of another £350 rental from syke cottages which is no use as we will not use this company again.

• "We found the cottage very comfortable, pleasant and relaxing."

  Blaenau Ffestiniog is an interesting town with its Steam Railway, Quarry's and is really friendly. It is a good base to work from for that area of Wales with some smashing places to visit within easy reach. Parking is easy but it is remote from the property (about 100yds away).

• "Cottage was very cosy only fault being informed at 19."

  15 the night before we were going that the oven was not working properly

  Unfortunately I couldn't arrange a fix or new oven for this booking at such short notice and at this particular time of year. I could only inform the guests going in, as soon as I found out about the issue. Although they said they could work around it, I do appreciate the inconvenience of the whole situation for them. A new oven is being installed ASAP and before we open for further bookings. Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely … so comfortable and cosy, and very clean."

  Helen the owner was extremely helpful especially regarding the concerns regarding petrol and kept me up to date about the situation. The town itself is sadly tired in that several shops and restaurants closed down. We went in two of the local pubs - the Y Mandi just across the road was very nice and welcoming. It doesn’t serve food but apparently they will be doing this in the future. The cottage is a very good base to get out and about. We visited Coed and Harlech castle which are well worth a visit. Porthmadog is the nearest largest town for more shops. Would definitely stay in the cottage again.

  The patio and terrace gardens were lovely to sit in and the cottage was very comfortable. The wifi was excellent and parking in the nearby car park was fine, there was always space. The cottage is ideally situated in Blaenau Ffestiniog with lots of attractions within easy reach. The surrounding countryside is amazing if you enjoy walking and Zip World is just up the road if you want an adventure to remember!! There is an excellent CO-OP in the village which has a good range of products. Snowdonia is beautiful and full of friendly folk, we can't wait to go back there.

  The central heating is on a timer but we were lucky with the weather so warm enough. The garden can be a bit tricky with steps up to it but once up there the views are amazing. It is on a main road so you do get traffic noise early in the morning. Zipworld is within walking distance and the village itself is well placed to explore the area.

  The high level garden is impossible at night. We struggled finding local things to do, more info would be useful. The info book is too big a crib sheet would be very useful for the basics.

• "We booked this trip quite late due to the Coronavirus situation."

  The cottage is the sweetest, cosiest place and we would definitely recommend it. It was spotlessly clean - not even a tiny trace of dog which can be a problem in dog friendly cottages and for this reason we would normally avoid them. We had one day where, due to Storm Francis, we were unable to leave the cottage but we still had a relaxing day watching TV and cooking in the well equipped kitchen. My daughter loved having g a TV in her room! There is a small car park nearby which we always managed to find a spot in. People do park selfishly though e.g. too close so it’s worth looking for an alternative. It might be a short walk but you can always find somewhere. The area is lovely - we visited the Slate Mine, Portmeirion, the Bryn Arms, Swallow Falls and would recommend them all.

  Well equipped and comfortable furniture. Pub close by, 2 min walk and center of town only five min walk. Parking was in a nearby free carpark that could be full but I never didn't manage to get a space. Lots of attractions nearby if you like the active lifestyle but the Cottage was great just sit back and chill out in.

  S. and having never before visited Wales, I was really unsure of what I would be getting in a rental. The Carreg Lwyd cottage was perfect! It was exactly as listed and extremely clean and updated. The owner was so responsive with email replies. There is a grocery store within a few blocks of the cottage, making it easy to get groceries for the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone who is visiting this area!
