  • "Beautiful cottage and location, not very easy to find."

    The roads to the house are very narrow and steep and the directions on sykes are wrong, it takes you to another house up the hill. There is a short track to the house, with eggs for sale at the start of the track. The house is on a small hobby farm, and there are a number of farm dogs that are roaming free, the dogs seemed friendly enough and only barked every now and then when we pulled up the drive then run back to their house. One liked to visit us in our garden jumping over the wall, we kept our dogs away as one was nervous of other dogs. The owners who lived on the farm were so friendly and helpful. We fell in love with the house and the views were just beautiful, the beds were super comfy. There was a few things that were broken in the house like the dining table chairs but it has most things you would need. We had a lovely roast at the pub nearby Y Bedol. Would love to stay again, its a great base for lots of attractions, bodnant gardens is a must see, just amazing.

    Emma was welcoming on arrival, and if we needed anything we just had to ask.

  • "The house is in a wonderful location close to lots of places of interest But The huge negative are the dogs."

    When we first pulled into the property there were several collies blocking the driveway clearly protective of their territory. They were temporarily called back to their home but when we were walking through the garden to the front door they all came bounding over the fence - barking and snapping very aggressively at us. We are a dog family, we like dogs and had our own with us so it's not that we are nervous around animals but these dogs were clearly and aggressively defending their home. The owner had very little control over them. I had to hurriedly hide my kids in the house. It was very scary and not at all what you want when you arrival at your holiday home. Throughout the week I was afraid to be out in the garden as could hear dogs barking close by, once one appeared in the garden and another time one sat outside the kitchen window watching me. Mid week we unfortunately managed to lock ourselves out the house (easily done as the door automatically locked when closed). We have no contact number for the owners, Syke's helpline insisted I had to phone the cleaning company to arrange a collection of the key- but despite leaving 2 messages with the cleaner no one got back to me. Eventually I just went round to the neighbors/I assume owners. I had been reluctant to do so because of the dog situation. As I predicted when I went round a pack of dogs ran up to me barking aggressively and one tried to nip my leg. The owner did apologize but I had to run away to my car and literally wait in the car until the dogs eventually went home before I felt safe enough to venture back to the house. It was scary and intimidating. I did not let my kids play unsupervised in the garden and actually felt uncomfortable sitting in the garden myself. The night times were noisy with dogs barking, which may well have been from elsewhere in the valley but was still disruptive. There was a velux window directly above the main bed so the room was very light. I found mouse poo in the bunk bed top bed and window sill. I don't normally write reviews and I'm not a natural critic but I felt obligated to give feedback on this occasion. Basic needs - safety and hygiene but sub par. Indeed I feel obligated to explain the dog situation as I would hate there to be an incident with a future guest. I was going to say not suitable for families with young kids or people with fear of dogs but actually I dont think it should be limited to this. Being afraid of going outside from house to car and not being able to enjoy the garden definitely tainted the holiday. Safety concerns for the property.

    There was NO suitable outside lighting and it was very dark when we came back from our trips. To negotiate the gate and pathway caused some concern as I'm disabled with knee issues... overall a quaint cottage that could do with some tlc and attention to cleaning the rooms and bathrooms..facilities were old and outdated.

Boasting a traditional décor, this heart-warming retreat welcomes families and friends looking to escape everyday life and see what North Wales has to offer.

Enter into the lounge where a huge inglenook fireplace takes centre stage, housing an alluring woodburning stove which you curl up next to during the brisk winter months, plus a sofa and a Smart TV for entertainment.

Move into the farmhouse style kitchen/diner, complete with feature stone wall and bespoke wooden structures, this is a lovely space to prepare your meals.

As you being to yawn, whisk yourself off upstairs to the bedrooms, comprising of a bunk room and two doubles with high ceilings and exposed joists in the roofing, giving it a real sense of character.

The bathroom offers a welcome change of modernity with sleek tiling and a bath with rainfall shower over, so you can prepare for the day in style.

To the exterior of Pant Yr Iwrch is a landscaped and elevated garden, which was once massively overgrown, but now offers a lovely space with a structured seating area where views of the Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountain Range can be seen.

There are some wonderful walks from the cottage and the North Wales coastline is just a short drive away, together with many biking trails and centres which are all within easy reach of the property.

Just down the road lies Surf Snowdonia, the first artificial wave lagoon of its kind in Wales, while a little further afield in Betsw-y-Coed lies the popular slate caverns, housing the world-first underground trampoline park, along with Zip World Titan, which spans across 1080m from half the height of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), so there is really something for everyone in this location!

Less than a 15 minute drive will bring you to Conwy, home to the famous Conwy Castle, a pretty harbour, as well as many fabulous shops and restaurants.

For a quintessential day on the coast, visit the seaside town of Llandudno where you can stroll the length of the promenade, catch a Punch and Judy show, or enjoy a wealth of family attractions on the amusement pier.
