"Great stay, great hospitality, great host, great neighbours."
We stayed for 2 nights whilst we climbed Snowdon. We arrived in the afternoon and accessing the property was easy. The property itself is lovely and got all the essentials we needed. We aren’t familiar with the area but after chatting with the neighbours they recommended a great fish and chip shop and Indian just up the road.
Although we didn’t get the pleasure of meeting the hosts face to face, the key box entry was brilliant, especially as we weren’t sure exactly what time we would be arriving or leaving. Whilst we didn’t meet the host face to face, they were extremely helpful on WhatsApp!
Overall great stay, we’ll be staying again and recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in wales.

"I didn’t want to write this review but as the owners are no longer willing to co operate with us or Sykes we unfortunately have no other option."
We didn’t even stay one night in this cottage! When we got there, there was faeces and urine on the toilet seat and under the lid. The shower had other people’s old shower gel and conditioner smeared on the tiles and shower screen. There was food in the kitchen sink. One of the towels had a lovely purple/red mark on it and on top of one of the beds was a suspicious brown stain approx 2 inches on the top of it.
We reported our findings to the owners as soon as we got to the property who to their credit offered to come round and clean. However by this time we were thoroughly put off staying there. If so many obvious and basic areas got clearly missed. How many other things had been neglected? The owners response was ‘ they are only small stains ‘ on the bedding and towels! We had only been in the property less than an hour and my socks were black. We left immediately and drove the 300 miles back home.
I have travelled all over the world, stayed in everything from backpackers hostels to fancy hotels and never have I had to leave my accommodation without even staying one night.
To not even be offered any of our money back from the owners is so upsetting. This was supposed to be our holiday but they do not care.
Sadly avoid this cottage.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are truly sorry that your stay did not meet expectations and that you felt unable to continue with your visit.
As you can see from our previous feedback, cleanliness is something we take very seriously, and we work closely with our cleaning teams to ensure the property is maintained to a high standard. Upon receiving your concerns, both the housekeeper and I arrived at the property within 30 minutes of you contacting me, ready to address any issues immediately. We wish you had stayed so that we could have resolved everything promptly and ensured you had a pleasant stay.
During my inspection, I did notice a small stain on the bedding and a towel, which both have since been replaced. However, I did not find the other concerns mentioned in your review.
Once again, we regret that your experience did not meet expectations.

"This cottage was just beautiful."
Exactly as it appears on the advert. The decor is lovely, modern with a rustic feel to the place. It's warm and cosy and has everything you need. The cake in the welcome basket was delicious! This cottage is perfectly located, a few minutes drive to the nearest village for groceries and restaurants. Parking can be a little tight at the property when the neighbouring cottages are occupied, but in my little Fiat 500, I had no issues.
I would definitely stay in this cottage again, a lovely few days away for my birthday with my mum and our dog Woody.
I definitely recommend visiting the nearby village, Beddgelert about 30 minutes drive away. It's stunning, great for your four-legged companion, some lovely walks and cute shops.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Bwthyn Y Bugail."
It was the perfect spot for exploring and lovely to come back to after a long day of walking. Everything has been so well thought of and it really is such a beautiful cottage. The owner
of the cottage next door was also very lovely and helped us out when the firewood we had bought was too damp to light. When we come back to North Wales we are looking forward to booking again.
Thank you!

"A wonderful short stay at this cottage with our two teenage children."
The cottage was very comfortable and finished to a very high standard. Everything we needed was there and had been thought about. It was very warm and the log fire made each evening very cosy. The cottage had such character and was surrounded by beautiful scenery. Dylan and Kirstie were so helpful and responded to us straight away when we had a question. They also kindly let us stay on after checkout time, as they didn't have a booking that evening and it allowed me to stay at the cottage with the dog, while my husband and children went of to climb Snowdon. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We'd love to come back and explore more.

"The property is quite small, but don't let that fool you, it has been furnished with everything you'll need to make your stay a comfortable one, and comfortable it is."
Everything has been finished to a high standard with an eye for detail. The outside area to the rear has a steep climb, but like everything else has been completed to a high standard and provides a lovely spot for a sundowner overlooking the hills.
Our hosts could not have been nicer or more accommodating, genuinely nice people.
In short, I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a very cosy stay in a lovely area.

"We had a lovely week’s stay at the cottage."
It is a great base to explore and was very clean and comfortable. Owners communication and location instructions before we arrived were great.
As a suggestion the cottage would benefit from some storage in the second bedroom such as a small set of drawers or shelves and some more cutlery in the kitchen.
We would highly recommend and would visit again, thanks for letting us stay!
