  • "Thank you for a lovely stay."

    The cottage is spacious and welcoming. Communication was excellent. The views from the windows are spectacular and so many lovely walks to explore right on the doorstep-if only the weather would cooperate!

    Thank you - agree, Wales has everything accepted the weather! Have learnt to head to the coast when raining in the mountains as frequently much nicer! Property Owner

  • "The property is well-kept and in a good location for lots of activities."

    The owners of the property were very helpful; from giving us help on where to park to local activities. The views from the cottage are beautiful. The cottage was well heated and even though the main bathroom is on the lower ground floor it was fine with two young children when it came to bathtime.

    Happy your children enjoyed their fist trip to Wales Property Owner

    Comfortable cottage, clean and tidy.

  • "We could not find the Trigfa at first, I think the owner should add instructions from the pub as that was our reference after that."

    For parking, first night we parked near a neighbour but second night we had trouble finding parking. Other than that, the house was in a very good condition and we had a lovely 2 nights stay. It's close to everything you need to do in North Wales.

  • "We absolutely loved Trigfa and would love to come and stay again in the future."

    The cottage is in the perfect location to explore Eryri and we even went hiking up a mountain without needing to drive anywhere! Trigfa was immaculately clean and we really appreciated the little food basket that was left in the kitchen. Our only bits of feedback would be that an iron and ironing board would be really helpful and a mirror in the master bedroom would've have been great. The parking was challenging and whilst we appreciated you had made an arrangement with a neighbour, that was rarely honoured by the neighbour and the space was frequently taken. However, we managed and it did not take away from how much we loved staying at Trigfa. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. Amy, Jon, Evan & Luke.

  • "We enjoyed our stay in Trigfa."

    Thanks for the welcome gifts. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The views were amazing. The instructions were precise and clear. I was concerned about the parking but we got it opposite to the cottage or the spots given in the instruction. We enjoyed the walk near Cwmothian falls & lake. This is very good place for travel to all North Wales attractions. We will definitely come back to Trigfa.

    That’s wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely review! Property Owner

  • "Arrival was disappointing as none of the beds had been made, no towels and not particularly clean."

    I contacted the owner who reassured me the cleaners were meant to of been in. About an hour later a group of people arrived with bedding and towels, made up our beds and left. So cleaning wasn’t done and felt very awkward being there while they rushed around. Went to run a nice hot bath after a very long drive but the water never got hot. Ended up boiling kettles. It was like that all week. The cottage itself is very nice and comfortable. Obviously steep stairs which was fine as we knew about those when booking. Not much to do in the village but good base for getting around to other areas. Lakeside cafe was nice and the local chip shop was ok with friendly staff.

    Our management company were held up due to an unavoidable delay with an accident in Penrhyn and I understand they were very apologetic. The cleaning had been done by ourselves that morning as we had just been holidaying there ourselves. We left the cottage spotless for your arrival. The cleaning company knew this which is why they only did the linens. The water had been up to temperature for us - we will check with our next guests. Property Owner

  • "Really lovely stone cottage in the middle of Blaenau Ffestiniog, an old miner’s town in Snowdonia."

    I stayed here with my parents who’ve never been to Wales before, and we found it a very homey and comfortable place to spend a few nights. Checking in and out were very easy, and you get great views of the neighbouring mountains when visibility’s good! We appreciated the welcome basket and the information booklet too. All in all, a lovely stay with convenient access to different parts of Snowdonia.

    So glad your parents enjoyed their first trip to Wales! Thank you for your lovely review Property Owner

    The hosts accommodated me at short notice and were really kind and attentive. It's a lovely cosy cottage which is kept really well, and has an endless supply of activities and walks in the local area. I always found somewhere to park without trouble and got to see some wonderful sunsets over the valley.

    Thank you! We love the area too - great for exploring and the sunsets are second to none ☺️ Property Owner

  • "The cottage had everything we needed."

    The heating was modern and got the cottage cosy at the end of a cold day out. The place was well kept and in good order. The piano/organ was delightful! The rooms were big enough for 2 and there was enough storage for the week. The check in system was simple. It was well located, in walking distance from 2 supermarkets and a pub. It was just right for our needs (2 adults and 2 primary aged children). The main downside was the cleanliness of the linen. We emailed the owner and the same day fresh linen was provided (flat sheets, towel and tea towels). Unfortunately on the last day we discovered the main bed flat sheet had been dirty from the start too (we stripped the bed and found dirt on it in a place we hadn't slept). The electric shower in the ensuite had a quirk where it dropped power and went cold before coming back burning hot. It scalded our 10 year old on the second night so we had to take extra care for the rest of the holiday. Parking was tricky with a 4x4 sized car but this was clear when we booked so that's the chance we took.

    Thank you for your feedback. We've taken urgent action to have the shower in the ensuite checked - it is new and we haven't experienced this ourselves or had any other reports but you shouldn't have had this problem. We have a good partnership with our management agency who manage the linens - again, we've never experienced problems before but our management company will continue to monitor linens when they're returned from the laundry.

    The property is located in the perfect position to visit lots of the beautiful towns and hikes that Snowdonia has to offer.

    Perfectly located for an amazing amount of activities. Lots of eating places a short walk away. Amazing scenery and great neighbours. Parking was tricky, but this is advised in the details and we always managed to find somewhere not to far away. The welcome basket was a special treat and greatly appreciated.

    Thanks - we are glad you enjoyed Trigfa and your stay in Blaenau. These old streets of miner's cottages aren't designed for modern car parking but glad you always got parked nearby. Hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

The property

This charming, stone-built Victorian cottage sits near the heart of the historic mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, deep in the Snowdonia National Park, with stunning views of the Moelwyn mountains from the rear of the property.

Blaenau offers a wide range of shops, eateries and bars all within easy walking distance for you to stock up or enjoy a meal or drink out.

Providing an idyllic base for exploring the wild landscapes of North Wales, Trigfa offers a superb escape for families and groups at any time of year.

Upon arrival, step through the front door and discover the spacious lounge and dining area with a character slate inglenook fireplace with the modern convenience of an electric log burner and a Smart TV, a homely atmosphere where you can relax after a long day of adventure.

Move downstairs to the kitchen, situated on the lower ground floor, where there is further seating for dining and access to a large bathroom and a back garden with panoramic mountain views and a picnic table and barbecue available for your use.

As you look to settle down for the night, there are two charming bedrooms, including the master with double bed and en-suite shower room, and a cosy room with bunk beds and far-reaching mountain views.

When you’re ready to explore, Snowdonia is a hiker’s paradise, with many hiking trails available right from the doorstep, from easy to very challenging!

For beachgoers, there is a choice of two spectacular coastlines, both a short drive away – to the north (Conway, Llandudno, Anglesey) and to the south & west (Harlech, Black Rock Sands and the Llyn Peninsula).

For those seeking adventure you’ll be spoilt for choice with plenty of activities available close by in Blaenau, including the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Zip World Titan, Zip World Caverns, Bounce Below (deep mine zip wires and the largest underground system of trampolines in the world!) and even underground crazy golf.

For those with their own bikes, there is a secure garden shed available in Trigfa’s rear garden.

To explore the area in a more leisurely fashion, treat yourself to a trip on Ffestiniog Railway - the original railway taking slate from the quarries to Portmadoc, an outstanding mountain journey with truly spectacular views - or visit Portmeirion, an Italianate village famous for its architecture.
