  • "We loved staying at Cwm."

    It was a very comfortable cottage with great facilities, a well equipped kitchen and we made great use of the pool table. The cottage is very well situated for hiking in Snowdonia with the Glyders and Moel Siobad on the doorstep. Altogether a great holiday cottage and we look forward to staying there again in the future.

  • "Overall a lovely stay with a few quirks."

    Would definitely recommend for the price. It would benefit from a bit of TLC, and it's worth highlighting there is no downstairs toilet! Pros: Lovely place set in a very private plot with gorgeous mountain views, and lots of sheep and rabbits around. The home was huge with lots of little corners to explore and clearly the owner encouraged exploring which was helped it feel extra cosy. Once we found the thermostat the house was nice and warm. Especially compared to nearby alternatives, this was reasonably priced. The location was great with easy access to a few pubs, nearby activities and walks, but you definitely need a car to get around. Not many supermarkets nearby but if you plan shopping ahead there's plenty of storage in the house. The hot water was perfect and the WiFi was great, especially considering that phone signal is rare in the mountains. Cons: Overall the place was quite grubby (dirty and dusty and spiders in many corners) and in need of a deep clean. Many of the dishes and glasses were grubby so needed a wash before use (at least we had a dishwasher!). Many parts were not working (light bulbs, the fire place vents, pool table was torn and no chalk, the table tennis table was on a hill, the gas BBQ was completely broken, missing chess pieces). It was unmaintained despite the amount of provided facilities, and could be fully sorted for just a little bit of extra attention and checking after each stay. For example, we didn't have any matches for the fires, and when we asked we got an apology, but no solution. On check out, we were asked to clean up after ourselves quite thoroughly (incl. stripping beds) to help the cleaners, but having found the property quite unclean that was a bit confusing.

  • "Beautiful, cozy cottage in a stunning, remote location."

    Great communication with the owners. Very comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and the bonus of the pool table and table tennis. There was a temporary issue with wifi at one end of the house, but it didn't really affect us as we enjoyed unplugging!

    The owners have gone above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. It really is a home from home. If you are looking for an outstanding rural cottage with amazing walks and breathtaking views then look no further as Cwm is the place for you. The only downside is that you have to leave. Fingers crossed we will be back next year.

    Very well equipped for making Xmas dinner. Mostly comfortable maybe a couple of mattresses could do with renewals? We had a issue with the satellite tv which the owner dealt with within a couple of hours. Our only problem was the weather it was horrible

    Glad that you enjoyed your Christmas at Cwm. We have now replaced the mattresses. Thanks Teleri Property Owner

    The cottage was outstanding and had everything you could possibly need. It was extremely clean and tidy on our arrival and exceeded our expectations. We have stayed in many cottages over the last 25 years but cwm has outshone them all. The welcome pack and flowers were such a lovely touch and the pool table kept all ages entertained during our stay. Thank you so much for letting us experience this wonderful cottage. We will be back.

  • "Very impressed."

    Lovely equipped cottage in a stunning location. Very clean and warm. We had a lovely stay and was close to Snowdon. Due to torrential rain we did get stranded in on one of the days as there is a bridge over water which had flooded and we couldn’t get the car out. Luckily we had plenty of food in. It was a lovely break but don’t rely on having a signal on phones, and Wi-Fi was intermittent. Would highly recommend this cottage and location.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we are so glad you hear you enjoyed your stay in Cwm. I am sorry to hear that due to the adverse weather conditions there was an issue with the bridge to the property. This is the first time we have heard of this happening. If you have made us aware there was an issue we would have offered assistance, there are 3 emergency numbers in the property and also a landline for customers to use. Due to the rural nature of the property mobile signal can be intermittent inside the house but outside is normally fine. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic holiday despite the weather."

    There were only a couple of points. A downstairs loo would be nice but I realise this may cause major disruption. Also, it should be mentioned in the listing that the WiFi is very weak. If anyone needed to do a bit of work, they should be forewarned and they can make their own arrangements. If the signal could be boosted , that would be even better ! I noticed that you acted on any comments made in the visitors book. This was very refreshing. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful holiday.

    Thanks for the review. We have now invested in Starlink, which has significantly improved the wifi signal. Teleri Property Owner
