Y Stabl

• "Y Stabl is a wonderful cottage."

  It has everything you need. It is well thought through with all the kitchen appliances and utensils you need. Guto and Catrin have furnished it beautifully and is immaculately clean. We were met by them both and they took us through things. The welcoming couldn’t have been any warmer and the hamper of goodies and fresh flowers were so much appreciated. Y Stabl, although remote (perfect), is in a fantastic location to see beautiful north wales and various tourist sights all within reasonable travel times. We will be back.

• "We arrived at the cottage just after 4pm which is when you are allowed to enter and the owners met us as we got out of the car which I find is always a good sign There was a lovely welcome pack of milk, bread, eggs (most were double yolk eggs from a relatives farm), coffee, Welsh cakes, crisps and homemade lemon drizzle cake which was delicious!"

  I have to say the village bakery bread was superb, we bought some lime curd with us and what a great combination it was. It is a spacious cottage and very comfortable (it is for 5 and there is only the 2 of us but the table seats eight!). The log fire was set for us but whilst it was coolish outside we were very comfortable without it and only used it once during the week. We often hire 2 person cottages so this huge cottage was a real delight for us, Overall a stunning cottage and one that any aspiring host would do well to experience / explore for best practise ideas. The tap water is excellent as mentioned in the cottage details, we have to filter ours at home. We both come from farming background and it was great to be close to the fields and country side We had our first ever holiday in the area some 47 years ago (as teenagers) and it was great to see how much the area had changed. So much to see and do although I love cooking so we were torn between eating in and going out. By chance we had passed ‘Rosie’s cider’ on the way so had an added incentive to stay in and enjoy a chilled pint or two from the 5 ltr bag in box!! I much prefer the ‘flat’ cider compared to the carbonated bottled variety. The forecast for the week wasn’t brilliant after the fantastic summer we have just had but on the first morning we woke to beautiful sunshine and clear blue skies which set us up for the week.

• "Excellent accommodation spacious, well appointed and very clean."

  Owners very welcoming, cheerful and helpful. They went above and beyond in helping me to get my computer fixed. Only draw back to our minds was location. It is a long way from places of interest, except lake Brenig.

  Thank you for providing your feedback, .. it is genuinely appreciated, .. and we are glad the accommodation was to your liking. Whilst we are clearly located in a rural area, we hope that this offers our guests an opportunity to enjoy the surrounding countryside, and some seasonal elements of rural and farming life. We consider ourselves centrally located within North Wales, which provides an ideal base for those who wish to explore the attractions on offer. As you mention, we are (by car,) .. within 15 minutes of the Brenig and Alwen reservoirs, and 'GYG', .. Wales’ biggest outdoor kart circuit is even closer. We are less than 30 minutes from the village of Betws y Coed, (which offers shopping, dinning and the nearest Zip-World experience), and also the towns of Ruthin, and Bala, - each boasting it's own visitor attractions, (Ruthin Gaol museum and the famous Bala lake.) 45 minutes by car can take you to Llangollen to the East, (home of the International Eisteddfod), or Pen y Pass to the North West, (.. the starting point of the most popular Snowdon paths,) .. and then on to Bethesda or Blaenau Ffestiniog to enjoy the various 'zip-line' rides. and 'below ground' experiences. A bit further, but still within an hour's drive are the towns of Llanberis (for the Snowdon railway), the costal towns of Conwy & Caernarfon (to visit the castles,) Llandudno for the promenade, Porthmadog (for steam railway enthusiasts), or Wrexham.. now famous for its football club, (and owners). Bodnant Gardens, Chirk Castle and Erddig (all National Trust properties), are also a similar distance, and can be reached within an hour's driving. I hope some of the above will tempt you back. Kind Regards, Guto & Catrin. Property Owner

• "We had a brilliant week staying at Y Stabl."

  The owners Catrin and Guto could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The cottage has been done to the highest standard and they have thought of everything to make it feel like a home from home. It is such a peaceful spot where you can really feel like you are getting away from busy life but very accessible to the Snowdonia and everything North Wales has to offer. Would definitely book again.

  Thank you for your kind comments, .. they are very much appreciated. As you would expect, we echo your views regarding the surrounding area, .. North Wales does have plenty to offer families of all ages. It is so nice for us to hear of how guests enjoy the attractions, and how the numerous experiences enrich their stay, .. especially the special birthday celebrations. It was a pleasure to host your family, and a warm welcome awaits you back at Merddwr Cottages, whenever you can return. Kind Regards, Guto & Catrin Property Owner

• "Family Friendly Cottage."

  Just back from a lovely stay in Y Stabl it and it met all our expectations and more. The decor is very modern with beautifully exposed aged beams from the original building in every room. It’s very spacious and there was plenty of room for my toddler to run around without me having to worry. Stair gates were provided, and owners were on hand to help with anything we needed. Kitchen was very well equipped so there’s no need to bring anything. My little boy particularly enjoyed seeing the cows and sheep outside Y Stabl on the working farm. The night sky is fantastic with very little light pollution.

  Thank you for providing feedback on your stay at Y Stabl, and for your kind words. We are both so very pleased that you had such a wonderful time, and that everything provided for a comfortable stay and a memorable vacation. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back soon. Kind Regards, Catrin & Guto Property Owner
