Dr Abbas
October 2020

“Thanks very much for the break.”

The cottage was exactly as described, very well equipped, and a very comfortable living area. For exploring Snowdonia the first time, it was just what I needed. Would very, very happily come back. Thanks again and take care.

Mrs Taylor December 2019

“The bungalow was extremely clean, comfortable and cosy.”

We travelled as two families to enjoy a new years break, 4 adults and 3 children. The bungalow was spacious and ideally located for walks, peace and quiet! The local pub was excellent and made our new year

- Mrs Taylor, December 2019
Mrs Nielow December 2019

“Lovely home, plenty of space, nice touch of essentials when we arrived.”

5 mins away from local pub. Lovely walk to waterfalls only 2 min walk to start the walk. Near to local attractions. Had a fantastic Christmas break away.

- Mrs Nielow, December 2019
Mrs Chamberlain July 2019

“The bungalow was very warm and comfortable, apart from one of the double beds which was uncomfortable, there was a welcome pack but surprised to discover no soap of any description, it is something you expect although not written on an inventory.”

The lady was very quick to fix the problem of the light in the main bathroom and supply a new can opener when we discovered the other 3 were broken. Would recommend the accommodation and the local pub Bryn Arms for good food.

- Mrs Chamberlain, July 2019
Mrs Gilbert June 2019

“This is a lovely comfortable, roomy bungalow which is more like moving into somebody’s home than holiday accommodation.”

The bungalow is situated ideally for touring North Wales and all the Snowdonia attractions. Rebecca who owns the bungalow with her husband was very friendly and helpful and both came round the same evening when I reported a small problem. There were only three of us and a Cockerpoo but the bungalow could easily have accommodated eight plus a baby and there would still be plenty of room.

- Mrs Gilbert, June 2019
Mr Hall April 2019

“Couldnt really understand the refuse bins”

- Mr Hall, April 2019
Mrs Nickolls September 2018

“Cottage was very comfortable and lots of room for 4 adults (there would easily be room for 8).”

Very well equipped. Heating had been put on for us and was very welcome as we had a wet and windy week. Owner phoned us a couple of times beforehand with helpful instructions.

- Mrs Nickolls, September 2018
Mr O'connor July 2018

“The accomadation was excellent.”

Plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Our hosts were on hand if we needed them and we were left a lovely welcome pack. Would definitely recommend this property as a base for exploring Snowdonia.

- Mr O'connor, July 2018
Mr Wright February 2018

“Lovely bungalow, although showers could do with being improved.”

- Mr Wright, February 2018

- Mrs Franks, December 2017
Mr Kimmens April 2017

“Very comfortable spacious property with good access for our elderly mother.”

A bit more info regarding local amenities or lack thereof in the information folder would be handy.

- Mr Kimmens, April 2017
Mrs Matta March 2017

“This property was excellent value for money, extremely spacious and had everything we needed for our stay.”

It was in a good location for exploring south Snowdonia. If returning to Snowdonia would definitely consider this property again.

- Mrs Matta, March 2017

Mr Bullivant February 2015

“Lovely owners, friendly & helpful with advice around the area.”

In a good location near enough for excellent hiking trips and close enough to shops - 20 mins drive for pretty much anything. A very clean property and the cottage was stunning - will definitely stay there again and have already recommended to our folks.

- Mr Bullivant, February 2015
Miss Madanhire December 2014

“The accommodation was fantastic and had very helpful owners.”

- Miss Madanhire, December 2014
MsTM199 December 2014

“Excellent”

We stayed here for a week as an extended family. This property was self catering and met all our requirements and expectations. We were a group aged from 2 to 58. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The property is clean and well kept with all the facilities one would require. I would recommend it to anyone.

- MsTM199, December 2014
Mrs Neall December 2014

“The layout of the bungalow is particularly well suited to families or groups.”

It is spacious but being on one floor only means you are never far from anybody or the focus of action in the house. The kitchen and lounge are enticing to socialising, yet the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and offer privacy if wanted.

- Mrs Neall, December 2014
Miss Clare October 2014

“The property and the location was wonderful.”

- Miss Clare, October 2014
Mrs Horner September 2014

- Mrs Horner, September 2014
Mr McCarthy August 2014

“We enjoyed being with family and being in the countryside.”

It was great weather and scenery. In an excellent location and owners left us to it. They were very welcoming though and the property is excellently maintained.

- Mr McCarthy, August 2014
Mrs Norman May 2014

“A lovely comfortable bungalow with plenty of room for a family.”

It was very clean and a lovely touch of a welcoming cake and tea/coffee. There was good walking from the front door and plenty of parking with a secure large garage.

- Mrs Norman, May 2014
Dr Iqbal May 2014

“A beautiful and spacious bungalow.”

The location is ideal in the centre of Snowdonia.

- Dr Iqbal, May 2014
Mrs Mercantas December 2013

“Lovely welcome pack including tea, coffee, milk, sugar and biscuits.”

Warm and cosy on arrival. Towels on beds. Nice extra touches made it feel like a home away from home.

- Mrs Mercantas, December 2013
Mrs Gladwin October 2013

“Bungalow was lovely and large, would certainly use this again and would recommend to others, the area is outstanding; very close to the beautiful mountains.”

We are already looking forward to our next visit.

- Mrs Gladwin, October 2013
Mr Naylor August 2013

“Great holiday with a cottage exactly as described.”

It suited us well. Garage was a great bonus for bikes and kayak storage

- Mr Naylor, August 2013
Mrs Quincey July 2013

“Bungalow was excellent.”

Bedrooms were a good size and well appointed. Living Room was very comfortable and kitchen had good equipment. The location was superb, 12 miles from wonderful beaches and on the edge of Snowdonias mountains for beautiful scenery. The owner couldn't have been more helpful with tea, coffee and cake to greet us.

- Mrs Quincey, July 2013
Ms Talbot May 2013

“The size of the property was really large which made it easier.”

The garage also made it great for storing mountain bikes. It was also really well located for the activities we wanted to take part in. It was also really nice that the owners had left tea/coffee and cake for when we arrived which was a really lovely touch. The TV was also a really good size which is unusual in a holiday cottage and made a nice change.

- Ms Talbot, May 2013
Mrs Hackman March 2013

“The property was great, good location exactly what we wanted, a good size, clean and perfect for our holiday, great for the dogs with a nice size enclosed garden.”

- Mrs Hackman, March 2013

Llan Ffestiniog 3 miles. A spacious detached house in the hamlet of Gellilydan, within the Snowdonia National Park, just 3 miles from Llan Ffestiniog in North Wales.

This Llan Ffestiniog cottage is comfortably furnished throughout and makes for a perfect base for family groups to gather in the spacious sitting room and sit, chat and relax.

With four good sized bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a delightful garden surrounding the house, you will be more than happy to return to this Llan Ffestiniog cottage after lovely days out exploring this beautiful part of Wales.

The location is ideal for walkers wanting to explore the surrounding countryside, or to visit the famous steam railway in Blaenau Ffestiniog and travel in old-fashioned style down to the coastal harbour town of Porthmadog.

For the mountain bike enthusiast you are in the ideal location with the established Coed-y-Brenin track and the more recent Plas Talywaenydd track hosting world championships, so you couldn't have better facilities.
