"Beautiful cottage and very central to everything loved the extra touches by the owner leaving milk and bread etc for us great selection of DVDs the only thing for us that lacked was a garden as the very small space at the back of the cottage wasnt big enough to enjoy with our dog."
The cottage itself had everything we needed and was very clean and homely would definitely recommend to friends and family.

"Finding the cottage was a bit fraught and first impressions were not what we expected but on opening the front door our spirits were lifted."
The cottage was excellent facilities were great although we had to phone the owners to find out how to work the TV nothing like the one we have at home.dont think I will have a log burner installed at home it was costing around £10 a day in logs. The local hotel the Pengwern made us so welcome we felt sorry to leave. highley recomend this place

"I stayed here for a solo trip to wales, it was a lovely stay."
The cottage was nice and the owners had left some butter, milk and bread along with some logs and kindling which was a lovely touch.
The location is ok, it’s close to a beautiful waterfall which is an hour walk and the local fish and chip shop was great. Friendly locals.

"Really lovely cottage, good location for travelling around, everything you need for a comfortable stay, the only issue we had was the tv signal was very poor, as we didn't go out every evening."
The local shop was very good, the local hotel bar was great too, was made to feel very welcome on the nights we ventured out. The walk to the waterfall was a nice morning out too.

"The listing stated there was a garden which we wanted for the dog however it can hardly be called a garden, closer to an area where the bins are hidden, the place was also smaller than it appears on the images and there is little nearby in the way of restaurants or takeaways and we had to drive to blaenau ffestiniog."
However if you are looking for a location to explore snowdonia and spend most of the day out the house this place is perfect.

"We had a lovely stay in the holiday cottage in Wales."
It was everything we needed. Clean, comfy and a lovely spot to retreat after our days adventures in the mountains of Snowdonia National Park. The only slight negative was although the oven was usable it wasn't great and the dials have rubbed off.

"The parking situation is not quite as described."
The reality of parking on the road next to the property is very small.
Whilst on the first evening we did managed to get a space there when there is space for 4 vehicles, the locals soon made their 3 vehicles take up 4 spaces for the rest of the week so no parking was available there or on the road at the front of the property. Sometimes a hazard caused by those that see "visitors" as outsiders. Yes there is a public car park 100 metres round the corner but it should be stated that this is the most likely place to find parking suggesting there is ample parking outside or on the main road would not be correct and many people may wish to consider this further.

"The cottage had everything we could want and the owner had even provided fresh breads and milk for our arrival and there were all the kitchen implements etc that you could possibly need."
We couldn’t work out how to use the tv so text the owner and he came straight back on the phone and helped us get it sorted as it turned out to be operator error!
The only minor issue we would comment on is that the cottage overlooks a storage yard which isn’t terribly attractive. However as we were out most of the day it didn’t really matter and the views beyond are stunning.
We had a lovely relaxing stay and would definitely recommend

"We enjoyed our stay at the Cottage and thank you to the owners for leaving some basic provisions."
The only minor problems were, firstly, being able to keep the log burner running, some instructions would have been helpful for those of us who have not used one before. And we did not realise how quickly the logs burned. Secondly, the freezer space in the fridge is quite small and this limited the amount of frozen food we could store. We generally like to spend our evenings in relaxing, and like to cook in rather than go out. And lastly, regarding cooking, the oven took a long time to heat the food we cooked. We may have chosen the wrong oven setting, however the correct settings were unclear on the dial. However, these minor problems did not spoil what was a pleasant stay for us and we would certainly stay again.

"The cottage we stayed in was lovely and extremely well equiped."
However the wood burning stove was the main way of heating the cottage (the two tiny radiators did virtually nothing), it cost us about £35 to buy enough coal, wood etc.. to heat the cottage, it was a very cold week and we spent our evenings in the cottage. I think people would be well advised that there will be extra heating layout and that the woodburner is the main source of heat because I had assumed that the electric heating would do the main heating and the woodburner was a lucky extra. Other than that a really super cottage.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, feedback is very important to us. We are glad you loved the cottage and found it well equipped.
We are sorry to hear that you felt the cottage wasn't warm enough, this has not been raised previously. We can only think that the two extra radiators that we provide may have not been on the right setting.
We also provide a starter pack for the log burner for each guest as stated in the property details.
Thank you once again and we hope to see you soon. Property Owner

"On the plus side:
I cannot complain about the Cottage itself, inside it was very clean & comfortable, and the Owners had very generously provided a welcome basket of Provisions, Milk in the Fridge, and even Logs & Coal for the Dual Fuel Stove."
Also you are within walk of a very scenic area.
The downsides:
There is no Garden & no rear access to the Gravelled Yard/Bin Storage at the back. No problem if you don't have a Dog, but hard work if you have to keep getting-up to take the Dogs out for a walk every couple of hours for a pee. Also you cannot park directly outside, as the Cottage faces onto a narrow access road, between the Yard & the rear of the other properties.
Reality versus expectation was the real let-down. The Photos of the Location were carefully taken to avoid showing that the "Property is opposite a small, quiet local authority storage yard, which is well kept with views extending towards the Moelwyn Mountains". Unfortunately, if you had listed the actual View as seen from the Bedroom window, as this was the only place you could view the Mountains from the property, I would not have Booked this Cottage.
The "Yard" itself is approximately 400 feet long, by 100 feet wide, filled with large drums of cable, skips, sheds & large shipping containers. All of this is between the Cottage & the View of the Mountains, which spoils the View somewhat! Also, the Yard was accessed as early as 6.30am, with banging & vehicles, which set the dogs off.
The Photos were very very misleading, I Booked that Cottage based on the views as supposedly seen from the Cottage. The only way to see these views of the Mountains was to go out of the Cottage & up the hill towards the Local Shop, or around the other side of the Yard. There is also no views of a Lake, and we were unable to locate that view altogether!
This Cottage would be great just as a base to venture out from, or you need to hide from the world.
