Gelli Glud

Remember it's a working farm so each day you are greeted by plenty of feathered friends and a handful of cats.

SItuated up a narrow lane about 9 miles from Llandudno great base for touring North Wales.....Bodnant Gardens close by. The owners are lovely and the lady bakes amazing welsh cakes and Victoria sponges

Absolutely perfect stay with perfect hosts!

Would highly recommend!!

A wonderful farmhouse location close to Bodnant gardens.

There are cats, dogs and geese, ducks and peacocks. My son loves it here. The house has everything you could need. Fully recommend.

Great accommodation.

We loved the old style furniture,the garden and all facilities perfect.Nice to have own bathroom in each room. Very quiet apary from birds during the daytime. Bethan was very friendly and helpful.We would definitely stop there again.

The perfect place for a total relaxation.

The cottage is lovely, very cosy. A bit hair raising on getting there due to the single track roads, but we only had to reverse once there is very little traffic on them. The animals are great and free roaming. We are looking forward to going back soon.

Such a peaceful place you will relax immediately, you will need to enjoy the hens ducks geese peacocks cats and the dogs being your close neighbours they roam free and are delightful.

You will be right out in the country with windy roads and beautiful scenery, but a 20 minute drive brings you to the main attractions Beth's is a wonderful host with nothing is to much trouble . You can purchase neww laid eggs and order homemade treats . The victoria sponge is to die for . But remember its a working farm so expect an early morning cockrall alarm absolutely delightful

Just like the pictures depict.

quiet and tucked out of the way.The animals were welcoming.lovely cats,chickens,ducks,geese and peacocks.beds very comfy and lovely lounge with period furniture.we never needed to watch t.v at all during our stay.kitchen on the small side but adequate for duration as we only had breakfasts at the property but plenty of gizmos in the kitchen

A lovely place for a quiet break, the cottage is really comfortable and we slept like babies.

The yard is full of farm birds, peacocks and cats with sheep on the field at the back. The owner was very friendly and lives next door.

We had a great weekend.

Bethan was a welcoming, friendly host. The cottage was warm and cosy. The bedrooms were very comfortable with great bathrooms. The proximity to the coast, mountains and Bodnant Gardens make it a good base in the area. We loved the animals in the yard. Would definitely go back.

Our stay was only 3 nights and in November.

We would have liked more accurate information as to location as it is particularly remote and had we stayed during the summer months we would have been a little disappointed with the outside of the cottage which looks a bit tired. Having said that Bethan was extremely helpful and the cottage extremely comfortable and very clean, and warm.

The cottage itself was very cozy and the layout perfect for my elderly mother who uses a rollator so we really appreciated the level access throughout.

The kitchen was small but functional and had everything we needed (although I did initially struggle to work the microwave until I set the clock!). Loved the decor which fitted the age of the property. However the heating was an issue, quite unpredictable and the host (very responsive) provided a work around which worked 70% of the time, but no timer/schedule meant we woke up to a cold house on 2 mornings (not good for my 90 year old mother) and the internet went down on our last night. Unfortunately these factors did dampen our overall enjoyment and I would consider carefully if coming to this property in the winter in its present condition.

We had a lovely break.

Just what was needed after a hectic year. Gelli Glud is the perfect place whether you want to walk through the glorious countryside or visit the coast. Behan was the perfect host, there if we needed her. We especially enjoyed the "livestock". Who knew we could hand feed Peacocks. There has to be a special mention for the bed. So comfortable, one of the very best we have encountered. Would we stay at Gelli Glud again? In a heartbeat.

The description of the property was accurate and we were very happy and comfortable at Gelli Glud.

The rooms were beautiful, although the kitchen was rather small. The presence of so many animals gave us constant amusement. Bethan was a delightful host and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely holiday.

The photos of the property are out of date &.

need updating,we got a shock when we arrived. On the outside we had to pick our steps as there is bird poo everywhere & on the roof of the car as the peacocks kept sitting on it.The property looks nothing like as nice as the photo the place is so untidy all around it. Also the boiler in the tiny kitchen makes the whole place smell of fuel it needs a new one as it decides not to work until you press a button,Sorry to say this is the worse property we have ever stayed in with Sykes.

The smell from the boiler in the kitchen was making me feel ill there was no mat to step onto when you got out of the shower or bath and if you weren't careful you slipped on the floor which was also very cold there was no towel in the kitchen or washing up items and the dogs from next door to get into the back garden and messed everywhere and where unfriendly

The biggest problem in spite of the directions was finding the cottage as it was on single track road in the countryside.

We were met the owner who was lovely and by a variety of animals including several peacocks, ducks, hens, geese, cats and dogs. The cottage is on a working farm it was well equipped, very comfortable especially the super king sized bed. Enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and the weather was excellent.

We will be contacting Sykes Cottages with the next few days

Lovely cottage had every thing we wanted , nice & clean well equipped kitchen.

Bethan was lovely and we loved the animals . We hope to be back again . David wendy & Oscar

Cottage in a beautiful location.

.. if you love animals, this is the place. lovely peacocks the main attraction. warm, friendly host...very helpful. beds amazingly comfortable, both en suite bedrooms. really lovely cottage, peaceful and the perfect getaway. Thank you Bethan.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you.

Excellent, comfortable, respectful & suitably warm.

If you love the countryside and what goes with it then this is the place for you.

The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. Bethan your host is very friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. Your stopping on a farm so you have chickens, ducks, geese, goats, peacocks, dogs and cats all freely wondering around the grounds. Although out in the countryside you are well positioned for getting out and about.

The cottage itself was fine.

However, the photos taken of the exterior are extremely misleading. The driveway and frontage of the property are untidy and unkempt. In addition there are a large number of animals roaming free (dogs,cats, geese, ducks, chickens and peacocks) with bird mess everywhere. You are also woken up early by the cockrel. Also the peacocks sit on your car leaving mess all over it, with the potential for causing damage. Whilst the advert states animals roam free, the amount should be stated and also that there is potential for damage. The patio area is unusable as the furniture is not in a good state an the same for the barbecue. Also the animals roam freely in that area so not a relaxing place to sit. In all the cottages is fine, but the exterior leaves a lot to be desired and in need of attention.

It’s a small holding so expect animal noises ( cockerels and peacocks) from 4ish in the morning.

We had a lovely week at Gelli Glud.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Bethan was really lovely and helpful. Our two Cocker Spaniels were most intrigued by all the chickens and ducks. It is a very peaceful location.

We had an absolutely lovely few days at Gelli Glud.

We were very sorry they were full when we just tried to rebook! Really beautiful comfortable cottage, lovely host, very friendly. Thank you!

Wonderful cottage and ideally situated for bodnant (5 mins ) drive and Conway (20) mins.

Expect noises associated with farm other wise very peaceful . Kitchen everything you need but compact so not for those who want to spend time cooking but hey your on holiday plenty of places to eat out.

Property well maintained, well set out very comfortable, main bedroom very nice plenty of room in the king size bed.

Very rural location, but within 10 miles of Llandudno and Conway.

Cosy cottage on a very quiet lane. Geese, hens, peacocks, cats, ducks etc. wandering free, so eggs are proper free range. Cottage was tastefully decorated for Xmas. We really enjoyed our stay. If taking dogs we would recommend taking towels to wipe their paws after walking. We would book again if going to this area.

What a lovely cottage in a perfect rural setting.

The cottage was spacious and well equipped for our stay. Plenty of space for parking outside and the farm animals were a treat for our young son. This cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway and is perfectly located for exploring North Wales, less than 20minutes from Llandudno, Conway and the A55, under an hour to Llanberris and so much within easy driving distance.

This was our 3rd time at the propane as always it was perfect.

We enjoy coming here and the watching the animals and even get cuddles from the kittens if they are about. Please keep what you are doing as I know that me and my family will be back.

An absolutely fabulous holiday.

Wonderful single storey cottage, surrounded by brilliant farmland and animals. Bethin was a lovely, helpful and friendly lady and did everything to make our stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. It was worth the 7 and a half hour drive from our home on the south coast. Loved the rural remoteness no noisy traffic just the animals. Thank you for a amazing holiday.

Had a great family holiday at Gelli Glud it’s the first time we’ve stayed on a working farm and it was a pleasure to see the ducks geese cats kittens peacocks etc etc wandering about when you opened your door on a morning.

Llandudno Bodnant gardens The great Orme etc. are within easy reach and there are lots of places to visit in North Wales itself. We had a bit of a crisis while staying there(nothing to do with our holiday cottage) but Bethan was 1st to offer assistance. Bethan is such a lovely lady and we would have no hesitation to go back in the future.

Lovely cottage on the farm, it was so good to see the animals on your doorstep, goats and peacock were out favourites.

Cottage has everything you need for a holiday,and Bethan is not just a kind friendly person, she's also a good baker,Welsh cakes were tasty. The cottage is in perfect location for visiting many local attractions, Bodnant Gardens is a must for anybody staying here, it's also not far from Anglesey, we had trip there too. I would recommend this cottage to anyone,but especially if you like animals.

What an amazing place!

My family stayed in the main cottage and every day we would open the front door to Ducks, ducklings, Geese, Kittens, Goats, Peacocks and more! Basically you're staying on a farm and you open your front door to all the farm animals every moring! My favorites were Mittens the kitten (we named him holiday cat) and there was a little goat with a pot belly who we named Edward who loved a people and liked to be stroked! In the morning I would open the tap on the water tank outside our front door and the sound of the water would make the ducklings run over and drink and jump in the water trough! I recommend this place to anyone who like animals, it's nearly impossible to be anything but happy staying here! Also, thankyou to Bethan who runs things and was so nice to us whilst we were there, she brought out the really young kittens for everyone to see and is a great baker! She will bake you Welsh Cakes or a Victoria sponge to order and they were REALLY nice! To sum up, I was raised in Llandudno which is nearby and every year I return to visit family. I have been coming back to the area every year for 20 years and staying at various holiday homes but this one is BY FAR the best we have stayed at and I will be coming back again every year from now on as long as it's available.

Wonderful week beautiful weather only downside rather noisy at times with various peacocks calling but all part of farm life.

Lovely host very helpful and spotless accommodation. A perfect week with our son and his wife.

Loved my stay very comfy.

Bear in mind the free roaming birds and goat all very friendly cause no problems to me or the dog. Thanks for the Prosecco.

We were overjoyed with our stay in Gelli Glud,as long as accepted its a working farm you will enjoy the place.

Bethans sponge cakes and Welsh cakes are wonderful,and Bethan is a lovely person.

Had a great weekend stay, lovely cottage, plenty of room, large bedrooms, and living room owners very friendly.

The inside of the property was good.

The outside very poor.Thefront of the property was was covered in bird poo from peacock's ,ducks geese and chickens. There was a caravan at the back of the property which was dirty and. Damaged. Also torn and overgrown Polly tunnel. The outside furniture was poor and rusty, no way we could have used them. The whole outside was full of rubbish and overgrown. Very disappointed with this property.

I was very pleased with my stay from the moment i arrived.

Very spacious for the 3 of us. Always warm and comfortable. Always had a good sleep. Plenty of nature surrounding us and with in minutes of the cottages there were views all over the Conway Valley. It is very easy to visit places too. Bethan was always on hand and was a very fair and helpful host.I thank her for making life easy.

The only drawback I found was the deluge of emails sent to me it was ridiculous and really got on my nerves there was absolutely no need to bombard me with all the emails and I think I might have to think about booking with you again I found it was a constant nuisance and did not add to my holiday experience quite the opposite

What a lovely place to stay and Bethan was the perfect host .

We sampled her Welsh Scones and Victoria Sponge Cake which were delicious. Watching the Geese Hens and all the other birds was a treat for us Townies . The location was great too only a short drive to Conwy and Llandudno. Totally a relaxing place to be .

A delightful stay in a cosy cottage in a quiet rural location but only minutes away from places of interest.

The cottage was well equipped, beds super comfy and being on a working farm, the birds provided much entertainment. Our host was warm and welcoming and makes a fabulous Victoria sponge cake which I would highly recommend. We very much enjoyed a fabulous week in Wales.

We had an amazing time at Gelli Glud!

The owners of the cottage were so friendly, helpful and made us feel so welcime. Opening the curtains and door in the morning and seeing all the birds, cats and kittens running round outside was truly magical and a memory we will always remember. Cottage was spacious, comfortable and had everything you needed in it. Welcome pack was a nice extra touch too. Would definitely recommend Gelli Glud to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday and wanting a taste of life in North Wales! Thank you so much once again and hope to return again one day!

It was lovely to wake up to the sound of the cockeral and pleasant to see the array of feathered animals roaming free around the cottage.

The cottage was clean and very comfortable and very well equipped. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. The welcome pack was a bonus too. The cottage isn't too far out from amenities. Conwy and Llandudno also with 25min car journey. Would highly recommend Snowdonia garden centre for their breakfast and Brewers fayre pub for great meals. If you want a chilled out holiday then this is it.

Excellent property equipped to an extremely high standard, very comfortable and clean.

Cottage set in quiet beautiful countryside with plenty of interesting places to visit. Lovely and very helpful owner.

We had a fabulous stay , in a very relaxing and peaceful environment.

Credit goes to Bethan who was friendly, genuine and kind. It was a joy to be surrounded by the birds roaming free on the farm and living in an urban area, it was nice to enjoy somewhere rural.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, Bethan the owner was brilliant and and answered any questions we asked and she also makes a lovely Victoria sponge, would recommend to any family or friends.

The property itself is superb with all the facilities you need (including a washing machine) which we used on a daily basis.

The king size bed was really comfortable and it was nice using the spare bathroom when required. The owner Bethan was really friendly and her Welsh cakes were so moorish. The only slight issue was the rear of the property which could have done with a slight tidy up but Bethan admitted it was an on going project as early in the season.. All in all, had a really chilled holiday and would return. P.S, The two extremely large Turkeys wondering around the front was good entertainment watching them strutting their stuff.

Our every need was met by the cottage owner Bethan Jones.

On the few occasions we contacted her by phone she was most helpful and resolved our questions quickly with clear responses. The owner even provided complimentary milk, tea, sugar and bread for our arrival, so thoughtful, much appreciated. Our two young grandsons were so excited to see the various geese, hens and other wildfowl roaming freely in the working farm adjacent to our cottage. Very much “Far from the Madding Crowd” yet just 7/8 miles from the North Wales coast!

Had a fantastic short break at Gelli Glud.

Lovely comfortable cottage with everything needed for a great stay. Enjoyed seeing all the various birds wandering round the yard chickens, ducks, geese, Guinea fowl and peacocks. Only downside was being woken up by the geese every few hours through the night but I am a restless sleeper anyway. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful!

Bethan left us flowers, Cava and jam. Her homemade Welsh cakes were amazing. The cottage was much bigger than expected and in a beautiful rural area but still close to Bodnant Gardens and Conwy. The shower was fab and the beds really comfy - with beautiful white bed linen. We loved the cats, geese, chickens, peacocks and Guinea fowl! Gelli Glud was such a find and we definitely recommend it :)

Spent New Year here, far enough away to be quiet, but close to all places if needed.

The cottage was pristine with gorgeous bedding. Helen made us cake and Welsh cakes which were still warm. The geese having a bath in the morning were hilarious, with all the cats around too. Just perfect, we were sad to leave .

We spent Christmas at Gelli Glud the cottage was warm, cosy and festively decorated, the bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious with beautiful bed linen.

Our host was very helpful and friendly and we were greeted with Christmas goodies. Thank you

Had a lovely weeks stay at Gelli Glud .

Everything positive about the cottage, area, people and the lovely animals

We had a little difficulty because the sat nav told us we had reached our location but we had a while to reach it actually but we stopped and asked and all was ok.

We soon mastered the "landmarks" to look out for!

Comfortable and warm cottage.

Lovely hosts.On arrival there was milk,bread,welsh cakes and a bottle of wine. Need to like cats,chickens turkeys and ducks as roaming around but we do so that was all good. Lovely Comfortable big bed and great powerful shower. The host made us a lovely Victoria Sponge and welsh cakes (paid for them) Close to Boadant gardens, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. If one thing could be improved is the back garden made to look nicer, and could be made safe for the dog as we had to keep an eye on him. We would stay again and we had an enjoyable holiday. Thank you x

The many thoughtful extra provisions were greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Lovely cottage with complimentary cake, wine , fresh milk, Welsh bread and butter on arrival.

Owners on site and very friendly and helpful.

We had a great week here.

Fantasy beds!! Loads of space. Loved all the animals. Great tucked away location. Would return if we visit this part of north Wales again. Thoroughly recommended.

Stayed here a few times now and love it more each stay.

We enjoyed our week at Gelli Glud so much, we wished we had booked 2 weeks.

We slept well and felt so relaxed. It was a joy having the farm birds and animals around. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We hope to return,

We were made to feel really welcome and the location was perfect for beaches and sightseeing, the farm animals were a bonus.

It is always a bit of a worry when you use a cottage for the first time.

However we were very pleased with Gelli Glud. The clean cosy cottage with comfortable beds was ideal for our purpose. It is in a farmyard setting and we looked forward each day to the changing dynamic of the geese, hens, duck and cats and dogs. Geese were in charge making sure that peace reigned! Our little dog fitted in very well.The surrounding countryside is beautiful with so many narrow lanes to explore and places of interest to visit . We were met with friendliness both by Bethan and family and all the local people we encountered.The WiFi works well.

We loved our stay in this beautiful and peaceful cottage.

All the animals give it such character. The cottage was clean and comfortable and spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for a lovely stay Bethan and we look forward to returning

This cottage is a credit to its owners.

Every detail in terms of facilities has been thought of. Little sugar the kitten is simply adorable! Normally when I visit the cottages I take lots of my own kitchen equipment, I shouldn't have bothered here as Bethany has provided everything you could possibly need. The welcome pack is fabulous, especially the beautiful cake!! Situated away from the madding crowds this place is a little gem. Perfect for us to relax and unwind in, yet only 6 miles or so to some of the best castles, towns and beaches to be found anywhere. A joy to visit and we will definately return.

The comfort and facilities where first class.

The owner left us a very generous welcome pack

Great location for Snowdonia and north wales coastal areas.

Comfortable cottage, traditionally furnished and in a rural location. Would consider staying here again.

fantastic warm welcome from hosts, quiet and relaxing,ideal spot for touring the area.

A great place to stay, lovely spotlessly clean cottage.

Bethan was very welcoming and has clearly put a lot of thought into making you stay comfortable. We loved the animals wandering around who were not at all bothered by our two big dogs! We will definitely be back

The owner Bethan welcomed us with Welsh cakes and a bottle of white wine.

Bethan was available to help us whenever we needed and gave our stay that home from home feel. The accommodation was great and the location just what we wanted. Quite location, beautiful countryside but not too far from places to visit. The resident cats, dogs, chickens were a charming addition to our experience. We have used Sykes before and we will do so again. The properties they find are high spec, well presented and great value for a holiday.

Lovely cottage in a rural setting with friendly cats and poultry.

Good location to get to Colwyn bay, Llandudno, Betws-y-Coed and lots of other places in North Wales. No wi-fi and limited tv but after a day walking that wasn’t too much of an issue. A highlight was Bodnant gardens just down the road.

What an amazing place to stay, stunning cottage,stunning scenery fantastic weather what more can you wish for on your holidays.

Thankyou Bethan for the welcoming gifts the Welsh cakes were amazing xx

We enjoyed our stay at Gelli Glud.

We loved the animals, cats, dogs, ducks and chickens. We stayed for a week event - the Eisteddfod in Llanrwst. We were really grateful for the home comforts of the house. Welsh cakes for £1 were a treat. There were a lot of useful supplies left for us - eggs, tea, coffee, sugar, bread, milk, wine and condiments which are often missing, such as salt and vinegar etc.

Lovely cottage well equipped decorated and maintained to a high standard.

Lovely welcome gifts of milk butter bread marmalade wine and a scrumy home made victoria sandwich. Better wifi needed as we had kids woth us who wanted to use devices. From an adult point of view it was nice to have a break from our devices. Overall a very pleasant stay would definitely recommend and would return

We were surprised at how isolated the cottage/farm was.

At least 5 miles off the main road (A470) along very narrow country lanes. Needed to drive everywhere.

Upon arriving at the cottage we were greeted by Bethan, the owner.

There was a superb welcome pack with everything we needed until we could go shopping, including a bottle of wine. The cottage itself was lovely, tastefully decorated throughout and the sitting room was beautifully furnished with antiques, including a harp. The bedrooms were huge, my bed was super king size and the other was king size and both bedrooms had en suites. Everything was there that was needed, and more. In one word, excellent.

Very quiet location and a good country feel.

Good for touring coast and country.

It was fantastic holiday the cottage was home from home

Well equipped, home from home perfectly located holiday let.

Enjoyed my short break away. Welcomed by the owner, cats and chickens.

Lovely hospitality and personal touch being able to get fresh eggs and home baked cakes from the owners.

Would definitely recommend staying here.

Property was very clean, well furnished, and a pleasure to stay in.

Well above standard. Made very welcome by the owner, and much appreciated.

Wonderful welcome from our hosts, who live close by, and nothing was to much trouble for them all week.

An Absolutely Fabulous Cottage with everything we needed for our week away in the Country. Set in a Beautiful Tranquil Spot in the hills of North Wales with Chickens, Ducks and Sheep all around you. A lovely welcome pack when we arrived, which we thank you for. We will DEFINITELY be going back. SUPERB THANK YOU.

This was a great cottage very spacious (except the kitchen ) but saying that it had all we needed .

The bed is huge and very comfortable we slept really well On the down side the cats managed to get through the kitchen window and empty the waste food bin at 5oclock in the morning so we had to make sure every where was closed after that . we would book this cottage again

This cottage came as a complete surprise when we walked in.

The way the cottage had been furnished with easy leather chairs, two extremely comfortable beds, ornaments, photo’s and other nick-nacks was very pleasing and it all made us feel comfortable and at ease straight away. Definately come here again.

Nice cozy cottage surrounded by animals and some very cute cats

Fabulous Welsh farm with warm and comfortable accommodation.

Lovely host who went out of her way and seemed to have thought of everything to ensure we had a great holiday. Quality fittings and furniture throughout with an extremely comfortable large bed.

A beautiful, cosy cottage with welcoming owners who left us some lovely goodies on our arrival and had even decorated the cottage for Christmas.

It is in a lovely remote area but only a 15 min drive into Conwy or Llandudno. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay again.
