  • "The listing was inaccurate and said the property had facilities such as a dishwasher and heating which weren’t included."

    Enough wood was provided to get us started when we arrived at the cold property, but that was 4x pieces of damp wood, so obviously not satisfactory. The house has heating, but you have to text the owner when you want it to be switched on and she took ages to respond, then only offered up to one hour of heating to be switched on at a time to “save on the gas”. The cleaner hadn’t refilled the soap dispenser or left any cleaning products for the kitchen. We were told twice that the cleaner would restock these things, but it didn’t happen. We bought our own cleaning products and found that the kitchen sides were filthy and far from hygienic. The coat stand is a health and safety risk as it falls over when anything is hung up. It almost impaled my dog and narrowly missed hitting my partner in the head. While all of the above was poor, the thing that was most dissatisfactory was the response of the owner when we raised the issues with her. Even after telling her that I had been omitted to hospital with a respiratory condition from staying in the property and not having access to heating, she showed a complete lack of empathy and reiterated that the reason for the lack of heating was because it was expensive to pay for the gas to heat the property. We certainly wouldn’t recommend this property and wish we had stayed away. There are lots to choose from in the area, many of which are cheaper than this one, which I think would be much better and run by a reasonable owner.

The property

Ty Dyffryn is situated in an enviable rural, mountainous setting in Llan Ffestiniog close to Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, and boasts well-presented accommodation which offers the perfect base for exploring the delights of the surrounding region.

Ideal for walkers, the property is suitable for small families or a group of four travelling together.

The attractive terraced cottage faces towards the dramatic mountains of Manod and Moelwyn which means the holiday home is able to offer unrivalled views to its guests.

As you step into the house, the open-plan living space welcomes you in and you can imagine curling up together in the sitting area in front of the delightful woodburning stove, getting warm and watching the weather moving dramatically over the mountains outside.

When guests get hungry, the kitchen is equipped with everything needed to produce hearty food for the holiday party and you can keep the designated chef company by pulling up a stool at the breakfast bar and pouring a glass of your favourite tipple.

If the weather allows then there is an outside terrace area with impressive rural views making it a magnificent spot for spending time alfresco.

You could consider stepping out the back to relax on the Sun terrace to enjoy the Summer weather while sitting with your loved ones.

At bedtime, there is a double and a bunk bedroom which both enjoy superb views and offer a relaxing oasis to rest your weary heads.

After a quick shower in the morning in the stylish shower room, you and your fellow guests are ready to get out and about exploring.

There are so many walks, hikes and rambles literally from the front door and there is something for everyone regardless of age and ability.

Any pets will love it too with loads of dog-friendly walks in the area.

As well as the nearby mountains, Snowdonia National Park is within a short drive and is well worth visiting if only for the spectacular views.

Take some time off from hiking, with a trip on the famous Blaenau Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railway which takes a 40-mile route through the captivating North Wales’ countryside and offers some simply sublime scenery along the way.

Nearby towns and villages worth heading out in the car to visit include the famous Italianate village of Portmeirion, the bustling town of Porthmadog, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy and Bala.

Ty Dyffryn offers a holiday oasis surrounded by dramatic mountains and beautiful countryside.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
