Mrs Hill September 2020

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Tania could not have done enough for us. The whole place was spotless and the welcome pack was appreciated. I would recommend Bamboo Place to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday, but not to far to travel for sightseeing and shops.

- Mrs Hill, September 2020

A big secure garden for a dog and with amazing views of the nearby mountains. The owner is so very friendly and incredibly helpful. Loads of info for all the places to visit and the walks.

Mrs Blackley October 2019

“Bamboo place was lovely and clean.”

Tanya had left us squash chocolates and biscuits and wished us happy anniversary. Everything was there and some little extras like tea sugar cereal. The bed was so comfy. There was lots to do within a short drive and beautiful scenery. Couldn't have wished for a better holiday

- Mrs Blackley, October 2019

- Mr Minards, June 2019
Mrs Todd May 2019

“For us one of the things we look for are a public house nearby and this cottage said that there was one less than a minutes walk.”

However when we got there we found that the nearest one was closed and had been for some time, the next one was quite a distance away .We also found that the Town/village of Blaenau was fairly run down and not at all that we expected. I know that none of this is your responsibility , but we did come away with the feeling of not enjoying our break

- Mrs Todd, May 2019
Mrs Mcdouall May 2019

“A fantastic holiday!”

Great location. Tanya was lovely and welcoming - we would not hesitate in coming back!

- Mrs Mcdouall, May 2019
Mrs Garrity April 2019

“Lovely little property, clean, comfortable and convenient.”

Tanya is a lovely lady and very accommodating, she supplies everything you need, from towels to washing up liquid and cleaning supplies. Nice little touches of toiletries in the bathroom, and a bottle of wine on arrival.

- Mrs Garrity, April 2019
Ms Ford April 2019

“About the owner I contacted Tanya before our stay to arrange key collection and she was very friendly and informative.”

On arrival she greeted us and made us feel really welcome but also gave us space to settle in. During our stay she gave us advice on places to go and popped in to make sure we were ok after a major mountain fire in the night. I’d say she gave the perfect leave of attentiveness being on hand if we needed her but not in an overbearing way. She even text wishing us a safe journey home. About the accommodation It has everything you need and is a real home from home. Tanya has provided absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay including cereals, coffee, tea, sugar, towels, umbrella etc and even charcoal for the barbecue. The complimentary toiletries in the bathroom were an extra special touch. The bed is huge and super comfortable which meant we actually had a couple of late starts lol. The location Blaenau-Ffestiniog is a friendly little town with all the amenities you need day to day. You can walk from the property to several fast food places including a Chinese (great) a chippy (not good) and a kebab/ pizza place which is as ok There are a couple of convenience stores selling a good variety of food, drink and household items. The Ffestiniog Railway is just a few minutes drive away and you can walk in 10-15 minutes to zip world and the slate mine. A 20 minute drive away is the seaside town of Porthmadog but Tanya advised us to travel a little way up the bay to Borth Y Gent. This is stunning and well worth a visit. The walk and scenery were stunning and not at all spoiled by the usual seaside attractions. If you want small quiet coves and natural surroundings put it on your must visit list. We drove to Bets Y Coed in 20 minutes and spent an hour wandering around the lovely gift shops and admiring the river. A couple of miles from there is Swallow falls which is spectacular but only worthy of a short visit. All in all we had a fantastic stay here and feel that it is worthy of another visit for two reasons. The host and accommodation were fantastic and the location is great for getting to so many attractions

- Ms Ford, April 2019
Miss Atkinson April 2019

“My dog and I had the perfect break at Bamboo Place.”

The accommodation was exactly what we needed and in a great place. Parking was next door and ideal. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There was extra blankets and towels for my dog. There were great walks nearby for us to go exploring. The town and surrounding areas are very dog friendly which meant we could go everywhere together which was perfect. Cafes, fish and chip shops, it was a perfect little holiday.

- Miss Atkinson, April 2019
Mr Mcdonald March 2019

- Mr Mcdonald, March 2019
Mr Hillman February 2019

“The host was lovely and greeted us as we arrived and left us treats and essentials which was nice.”

The place was fantastic and even out of season there was lots to do. The host also explained everything there was to do. North wales is a beautiful place, will definitely be going back. Thank you Tanya hopefully see you again

- Mr Hillman, February 2019
Mrs Wilson December 2018

“The owner of the cottage was lovely and very welcoming.”

The cottage was fantastic and our dog absolutey loved the good size enclosed garden to run around in. Close to some gorgeous places Would definitely go again.

- Mrs Wilson, December 2018
Mr Dixon October 2018

“Tanya was a warm and welcoming host.”

The few little extras that were waiting on arrival were very nice, (such as the bottle of wine), and useful, (baby wipes and bibs etc for the littlun). The cottage itself had everything you could need and was located perfectly in the middle of snowdonia, just down the road from an activity centre, (with mine tours and mountain biking etc). There are also a number of small shops and takeaways just down the road within walking distance. We would whole heartedly recommend this cottage to anyone, with it both being a lovely cottage, and having a lovely host! Thanks again tanya!

- Mr Dixon, October 2018
Mr Green October 2018

“Very nice inviting cottage.”

The village has a veriaty of different take a ways, But at the moment only one place to sit down to an evening meal, the pub up the road. There is a fair size freezer, only draw back was a very cold shower room. shower room water heater did not stay hot very long, making it ackward to wash.

- Mr Green, October 2018
Mr Whelan September 2018

“WONDERFUL COTTAGE WITH GREAT HOST we had a marvellous week at Bamboo place, it is ideally situated in the town with easy / close parking.”

It is a great base to explore the surrounding area such as Porthmadog,Harlech(great castle) Betwy s coed and they are all in easy reach. The owner Tanya is lovely and very helpful and cannot do enough for you and at the same time just leaves you to it. The welcoming wine and Bara Brith was a nice touch. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and was very clean and well kept, the garden was dog secure (even our border terrier could not escape) Overall the cottage could not be faulted and we be back

- Mr Whelan, September 2018
Mrs Harper September 2018

“Warm welcome from Tanya that lifted our spirits on a very wet miserable day.”

- Mrs Harper, September 2018
Mrs Garratt September 2018

“The address for the property was "Market Square" which suggested a vibrant situation.”

In fact it was lcoated within a square comprising empty Market Hall, and train line, and the busy A470 and a boarded up hotel. The accommodation was great but the situation was depressing...even dire

- Mrs Garratt, September 2018
Mr Howard September 2018

- Miss Charlesworth, May 2018
Mr Spanner April 2018

“Very comfortable and quiet cottage close to all attractions including the Ffestiniog narrow guage railway and the slate caverns.”

Well located close to trunk roads for Porthmadog, Snowdonia, Portmerion etc. The owner is very welcoming and was very helpful when we had a minor panic on the day we left, I had accidentally dropped my wallet in a shop close to the cottage but did not realise this until I stopped in Shrewsbury on the way home. Phoned the cottage owner, explained the situation and she went to the shop, the walllet was there so she called me back and promised to send it to my home address straight away. It was delivered to my door less than 24 hrs later. Fantastic

- Mr Spanner, April 2018

The fact that we were able to do six of the Great Little Trains of Wales is testament to Blaenau's ideal location as a base for touring this most beautiful part of the UK. The fact that if we return to North Wales in the future we will not have to look for anywhere else to stay says it all.
