"This is our second visit at Coed Derw Isaf and it was just how we remembered it, clean, bright and homely."
The property is big enough to give everyone their own space but cozy enough to have some fab together time. We had some brilliant family meals around that amazing dinning table and movie nights after days in the mountains.
It's so well placed for everything Wales has to offer, mountains, lakes, beaches, towns and villages, all a short walk or drive away.
I highly recommend this property to all, contrary to everything in being which is telling me to keep this place secret!
Thank you Marco and Gill for your lovely review always a pleasure to have you to stay many thanks for the delicious Chorley Cakes very kind of you

"We’ve been visiting this beautiful part of the world for over 20 years, and Coed Derw Isaf is without doubt the best house we’ve rented in all that time."
The layout of the property is excellent, making it feel both spacious and cosy. It’s set in a lovely aspect, with a nice garden that’s perfect for relaxing in after a day out walking.
We also really appreciated the location – it’s just the right distance from the village: close enough for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.
A truly relaxing stay – we will definitely be back!
Thank you for your lovely review so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us

"Really enjoyed this house, it worked really well for 6 adults and would have been equally as good for 8."
The hanging areas for putting jackets and boots was handy for wet weather, good showers, bed a little bit firm for me, but that's a personal thing and not a criticism.
Kitchen was very well stocked, really easy to cook in, dining table was lovely for us all to chat at and play games.
Just perfect.

"Great house with fantastic facilities, very clean good number of bathrooms and all 4 four bedrooms of a good size plenty of space for 7 Adults plus 1 dog celebrating my sons 30th Birthday, directions to property first class ,great location for walks and adventure its 10 mins walk to the spar/bakery for supplies, being very picky my only word of caution would be that the walk to the town is for adults not young children we will return ."
Thank you for your lovely review - we do have options if children are staying for walking into the village which avoids the road in parts! Can let you know if you return! Thanks Sara

"I leave this review with a huge level of reluctance."
.. as I want to keep it my little secret. :)
Coed Derw Isaf is a real gem. We started our holiday with all the family and when everyone drifted back to work, my wife and I chilled out for the rest of our say. Coed Derw Isaf felt like home when it was full of family or just the two of us.
We wanted for nothing. Our hosts ensured we had a lovely welcome and all our needs were catered for. Beautifully decorated throughout and loads of room to spread out and relax. Positioned within walking distance of the lovely Betws-y-Coed and a short drive from the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia Eryri national park you are well placed for a great holiday.
I highly recommend Coed Derw Isaf and can't wait to return.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.

"Exactly the cottage we needed for our holiday in Wales."
Set in a quiet location but within walking distance of the village this property was ideal for us. There are walks from the door but also plenty of walks within a thirty minute drive.
The cottage is clean, well equipped with a lovely garden for relaxing after those long, uphill walks. The bedrooms are light and airy with really comfortable beds and the showers are some of the best we've ever used.
There was no space available in the kitchen for our shopping as all the cupboards were full and the low backed sofas and chairs were a little uncomfortable. Neither of these two things was insurmountable and in now way spoilt our stay.
We are already planning our return to Coed Derw Isaf and would highly recommend this property.
Thank you Sara and Pete for being lovely hosts.
Thank you for your lovely review - we are pleased you enjoyed your stay - I’ll sort some space out in kitchen as things are spread out a bit! Sofas I have a think but thank you!

"The property was very near perfect."
Very cleanly decorated and well equipped. Ideally located just out of town so it was nice and quiet. We were six walkers coming back from wet winter walks and there was always plenty of hot water to satisfy our showers.
The gardens were tidy and well maintained and would be wonderful in spring and summer.
The only two negatives were the key box. We had difficulty every time as it was very fiddily to open. Secondly a tumble dryer for drying our walking kit would have been very helpful. Not insurmountable but better than cluttering up radiators.
Thank you for your feedback I’ll check the key box maybe it’s suffered over the wet months!
I have considered a tumble dryer and thank you for your kind comments

"Had a great stay at Coed Derw Isaf."
A lovely home in pretty surroundings with most shops a short walk away. Due to a medical emergency we under occupied by 4 people but this would accommodate 8 people with ease. I was fortunate enough to have the master bedroom which was a pleasure to stay in including the vast bathroom which I swam in several times. My only moan would be the mattresses in both of the larger rooms, as all four of us using these 2 rooms were not sleeping very well and aching quite a bit throughout the week. Maybe time to replace the mattresses. However, saying that I'll be back in a heartbeat as my brother lives close by and we intend to try again with another family get together. Thank you, but I do urge you to test drive your bed for a night, xx
Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay - with regards to the matteress the one in the main master bedroom is new - we have replaced the one in the other larger double . Many thanks Sara

"What a wonderful house!"
We had a great time as a whole family with four generations all together ranging from 84yrs to 9months… everyones needs were catered for - from a walk in wet room for my elderly mother to a cot and highchair for my littlest munchkin!! Lots of space for the children to run and crawl around and plenty of seating for the adults to all be together either inside or out.
And the welcome basket was a wonderful touch to start our holiday. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback - the heating is on in the morning and the afternoon on a timer - we would have happily changed it for you if you were in working during the day. You messaged me to advise that an extra guest and dog were coming which I acknowledged which was the same number in the Welcome Pack.
