"Found our stay very enjoyable."
Cottage very comfortable, lovely views and very peaceful. Concern's the driveway, the speed of the road needs to be 20 before the bend and a sign that says concealed driveway. Many thanks for a comfortable stay.
-
"The property is clean and tidy and just as described."
Parking is quite tight as mentioned in the description but it is possible to turn around and exit forwards. A 7 point turn was my best a 15 point turn my worst! With someone on the road checking for oncoming traffic, it is not overly onerous. On sunny mornings we had breakfast outside which was lovely looking over the fields and sheep. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Maybe a freestanding lamp in the sitting room for better light when reading?
-
"Once again, we had a wonderful stay in this great cottage."
Everything you need for a relaxing time away.
-
"Lovely cottage, nice and quiet area."
Lots to do. Hard to get out of driveway safely.

"2 Ysgubor Gerrig is an excellent holiday cottage in terms of: the way it's been modernised, furnished & equipped and its location which is just what my wife & I wanted for our walking holiday."
We were able to do 3 lovely walks in the neighbouring hills & woodlands & one down to & along the R. Conwy. I particularly enjoy holiday places where I don't have to drive everyday to get to the start of a walk. There are plentiful maps & guides to the area provided by the owners. The driveway giving onto a sharp bend with obscured visibility was not an issue for us. We followed the detailed advice provided by the owners in the property notes & my wife went out into the road to check there was not on-coming traffic - sorted! Thank you for a great holiday cottage!

"Had a lovely stay, lovely and peaceful and very comfortable beds, instructions left for everything that you might use in the house."
Easy driving to various places eg Llanwrst, Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn bay, house very clean, ate out quite a bit but also cooked some nice meals in the house with a local butchers nearby in Trefriw which we walked to less than a 10min walk and 2 nice pubs serving food

"Enjoyed our stay ."
. loved the cottage.. shower in twin room leaked through to sitting room so was out of action for the week but didn't spoil our stay.. Cottage is well equipped and has beautiful scenery.. location is great for touring Snowdonia ..

"Had a lovely week in a great location for exploring the area."
Short drive into Betsw y Coed and good pubs and shop in Trefriw village as well. Would recommend Chandlers Bistro in the village too. Loved waking up in the morning to the view and baby lambs playing in the fields opposite. Nice comfy bedrooms both en-suite which is a bonus for us being 2 couples. Kitchen well equipped and we lit the log burner in the mornings and sat round the table having breakfast and enjoying the view. Would have been nice to have a working fire in the living room for the evenings, but probably a reason for this. Nice comfy sofas too. Stairs up to bedrooms steep so probably not good for people with mobility issues especially coming down, we had slippers with us, but the wood could be slippy if just wearing socks. As others have said pulling out of the driveway onto the road can be tricky, but we managed and it wouldn’t stop us staying there again. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
-
"Excellent location and house very comfortable."
Great views and ideally situated for walking and waterfalls! The parking was a bit of a nightmare especially trying to turn round with a big car but that is the only downside. Would definitely stay again
-
"Fantastic place in an ideal location."
Will definitely be booking again when in the area
-
"The cottage was really worm and cosy every thing you need was there; only down side was the driveway it was a challenge getting out onto the road but we was told of this before we booked; apart from that it was a wonderful stay."
-
"The perfect stay with all your requirements in a lovely setting"
-
"Beautiful property (particularly upstairs) very warm and homely."
We didn’t have particularly good weather and property felt quite cold downstairs (even with heating on). China/utensils of lovely quality and certainly had all modcons (with detailed user instructions, which was great) Location fantastic. 100% need mirror at bottom of drive… absolute nightmare getting out as on blind bend - one of us had to get out of car, cross road (on blind bend) and wave car out…. Could easily be remedied with mirror…. Neighbour had one.
-
"We loved our stay at your beautiful cottage , the cottage was."
Clean and comfortable and although on somewhat of a busy road at times it did not bother us , getting off the drive is easier if someone goes across the road and watches the traffic and the driver out . A wonderful base for visiting lots of places and it’s in a very beautiful part of the country, we had a fantastic week , and the weather was beautiful , so that really was a bonus too , many thanks
-
"It was great to back in this nice and comfy cottage."
Everything you could possibly need for a great holiday and in a great location to explore the coast or Snowdonia.
-
"Excellent cottage with amazing views."
We had a 4 night break here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The cottage is extremely well equipped with everything we needed, and much more. The cottage was very clean and beds very very comfortable. Nice touch to have milk, tea, coffee and waffles on arrival. The location was ideal for exploring North Wales and plenty of local knowledge at hand with leaflets and information from the owners. The driveway was no issue as you could use the mirror opposite and listen for the traffic and see in the other direction. We would 100% recommend staying here and hoping to return in 2024. Thank you to the owners and the housekeeping team.

"This was a beautiful cottage with amazing views from the front room."
First impression it smelled lovely . It was clean warm and comfortable and well equipped . Location is great and accessible to many attractions . Only difficulty we encountered was the steepness of the entrance drive and closeness to the main road which took a bit of getting used to. Other than that it was a great experience staying there and would highly recommend it .
-
"A really lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the areas we wanted to visit & to do the walking we wanted to do."
Husband soon got used used to turning the car & exiting the driveway. I spoke to the owner before we went & she was lovely & helpful answering my queries.
-
"This is to notify you that the above property that we rented was not up to Sykes usual standard and sadly left us both underwhelmed and even angry."
I would like to speak to a Sykes representative upon my return to Canada (October 1st). The following 2 properties we rented after the Trefriw were both superb and were exactly as described and indeed the final one was outstanding. Sincerely, Mark Ratcliffe
We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at our property. We work hard to maintain a high standard of accommodation and have now spoken to Sykes to understand your concerns. Property Owner

"Wonderful property in a wonderful location."
It was very clean and cosy and lovely to sit outside with a drink on an evening watching the world go by.
-
"For us, with our granddaughter it was pretty well perfect."
We wanted somewhere near the three Zip World venues. Maybe lower tog duvets for the summer. For me as the driver getting out of and turning around in the driveway was a bit of a nuisance. It’s mentioned in the house book to use the mirror on the pole opposite. But it’s there for the neighbour. Anyway, the only safe way to do it is to get a passenger to cross the road, and check it’s clear to pull out.
-
"We spent a lovely week at ysgubor gerrig and it’s ideally situated for exploring north wales."
It’s a very clean, cosy, well equipped cottage and we liked having the two en-suites as we were 2 couples sharing. The drive is quite tricky to navigate but we soon got used to it.
-
"Great cottage, had everything we needed."
Wonderful view, well equipped and comfortable. Only slight negative was it was a bit chilly downstairs but we just popped the heating on for an hour. Would stay again
-
"We loved the cottage, the location, facilities provided and cleanliness were excellent, many thanks for providing a great base for a terrific holiday!"
-
"On arrival there wasn’t any milk luckily managed to catch the local shop just before closing."
1 Dishwasher tablet, 4 Teabags, No food recycling bags.Kitchen washing up brush very grim. Oven not clean. Mirror lights en-suite not working and pull cord dirty. Toilet brush dirty! The towels were very good.Bed comfortable .
Thank you for your comments. We are very sorry that you felt the cottage did not have sufficient supplies on your arrival. We do aim to provide some basics as a starter but unfortunately we cannot guarantee to do this at all times. With regard to your comments on the cleanliness of certain items, we have a dedicated team who work hard to maintain a high standard at all times. The items that you identified have now been addressed. Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments and we hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"This cottage has been tastefully furnished with top quality items."
The beds are comfortable and we slept very well. The position is ideal for exploring this beautiful part of Wales. Although the exit to the property is a bit tricky we didn't have any problems providing you turn round in the drive.We can recommend The Fairy Falls Pub for eating... good food and friendly staff. Plenty to see in the immediate area and loved Bodnant Gardens and NT properties on Anglesey.
-
"What a delightful cottage!"
It is even nicer than the photos suggest and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The views from the cottage are stunning and we saw lots of birds, including a red kite and a breeding pair of buzzards. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay again.
-
"Needs a little extra lights around the steps as you walk up the path very dark when coming in of a night time ."
But apart from that lovely cottage would definitely stay again . Thank you for making it so nice .
-
"Lovely property in fantastic location."
Absolutely perfect.
-
"We were very impressed by the cottage."
Very comfortable & clean. Loved the decor and spent a lot of time in the garden enjoying the scenery. Beautiful countryside and ideal location for visiting the mountains and coast. Highly recommended.
-
"This was a lovely cottage and was very clean which made us feel very comfortable."
It was a good base for visiting the area which is beautiful. It was a quick walk to the village which had a good pub - The Fairy Falls Inn which we also recommend. The village had a good park and a nice flat walk to Llanwarst. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.
-
"Cottage beautiful inside and out."
Nestled on the hillside with sheep and lambs in the fields. I would recommend this cottage and will definitely return.
-
"Everything was perfect."
Lovely clean, comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings.
-
"Excellent holiday cottage, very comfortable and spotlessly clean."
Views amazing. Great location perfect for touring Snowdonia.
-
"The cottage was absolutely beautiful."
Spacious and light and well equipped. We loved the kitchen area with the big kitchen table and wood burner. We spent our evenings playing card/board games there. The bedrooms were spacious with incredible views from both windows. The cottage was in a lovely area, not far from both villages with lovely walks and a great tea room. We would definitely return.
-
"The cottage is beautifully sited above the road with great views."
It has outside seating, ideal for taking in those views whilst enjoying a coffee or glass of something! Inside all rooms continue to offer the views; they are a good size, clean, light, well-maintained, well- equipped & very comfortable. The cottage is in a good location for visiting Snowdonia, Conwy & all the villages, walks & other tourist attractions. The owner was friendly & helpful when we contacted her. We really hope to revisit when travel returns to normal.
-

"Perfect cottage in a lovely location, couldn’t fault it."
-
"This cottage is amazing."
The owners communication is fantastic so helpful and friendly. The cottage is equipped with everything you could need and more. Everythinh has bee thoughy about. It is immaculately clean the beds are very comfy. A very helpful information booklet compiled by the owner with all the daft bits that no one ever tells you but are essential to making your break go smoothly. The views are stunning and the local people very friendly. Overall a lovely home from home place to spend your holiday. We didnt want to leave. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us and being so helpful. It may be an idea to have a boot box or something outside the front or back door as after walking and having muddy boots we didnt want to trail into the kitchen, very minor point but may be useful.
-
"Waking up to the beautiful view every morning is good for you."
Will defiantly stay here again.
-
"2Ysgubor Gerrig is perfect in every way, it’s comfortable, warm with all the little extra touches that make it a home from home."
The views are stunning from all the windows, this was out third visit there, & we will certainly hope to return next year. The autumn colours were breathtaking everywhere we went, A wonderful ‘ breathing space’ in a hectic world. Thanks
-
"Really enjoyed the little touches when we arrived."
Milk, cookies and logs to start a lovely fire in the kitchen....
-
"It was a very clean and in a very good location for sightseeing in the area."
There was a lot to see and do and we visited so many castles, Abbey and stately homes. We would highly recommend 2 Ysgubor Gerrig to anyone going to that part of Wales.
-
"Very comfortable cottage enjoyed by the whole family."
Felt like a home from home. Especially appreciated the family games which we used on the evenings.
-
"Access drive to cottage is off of a busy road and there was not enough space to safely turn large car around."
Had to reverse with help. Garden is at the front, so some traffic noise when sitting out there. These points were listed so not unexpected and did not spoil our stay. The equipment and facilities were of a high standard. Another set of bath towels would have been nice but not expected. Very comfortable, especially beds, with lovely views across fields. Close to lots of places of interest and we could walk into the village. We had a very good stay and would recommend this accommodation.
-
"Cottage was beautiful, very clean, well equiped, warm and in a great location, with excellent views."
Very minor comments - Driveway is very tight, difficult for long vehicles. Beds a little too firm for our preference, bi-fold doors give limited privacy for the bathrooms. Door mat is too small, so cannot avoid paddling wet boots onto the wooden floor
-
"The drive up to the cottage is very tricky and this should be made clearer in the description."
You can only go up the drive from one direction, it is on a blind bend therefore reversing into the road is impossible. I had to do a 7 point turn in a Golf so anyone with a bigger car would really struggle to turn their car around. The issues with the drive need to be explained so that people can make an informed choice. Also some extra toilet rolls would have been good. Only two half rolls available in the cottage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OWNERS RESPONSE We are sorry that you found the drive difficult during your stay. The drive is already highlighted in our cottage description. There is a mirror available to aid the exit from the drive and also the option to park on the road in front of the cottage.

"Excellent in every way, rebooked for later in the year!"
-
"A beautiful cottage in a stunning area."
So much to see and do, then time to relax in the large cuddle chair in the living room and enjoy the views. Everything you need is provided including a very informative welcome pack. Even though we stayed in February the cottage was really warm and cosy, with perfect amount of space for a family. We all felt completely at home and made many family memories during our stay.
-
"The cottage and village are both charming."
Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We had the most lovely week walking amongst the mountains, and knowing we had a comfy sofa to return to was what we needed.
-
"A great base for touring Snowdonia and the North Wales coast."
-
"Beautiful cottage, that is well furnished and very homely."
We only got back an hour ago and have already booked to go back we loved it that much. Cottage is in a great location for exploring other sights in north wales.
-
"This cottage is a gem, everything you would want in a holiday home from home cottage."
The standard inside and out is exceptional. Location is good plenty nearby to do. Would recommend to all.
-
"Beautiful cottage!"
! In a perfect location for exploring North Wales. Spotlessly clean with a real home from home feel to it. Will definitely go back in the summer as storm Doris caused us one or two issues :) Highly recommend
-
"A warm, cosy and recently decorated cottage that provides a great base for exploring snowdonia."
Beautiful furniture and exposed wood features coupled with modern bathrooms and kitchen.

"We booked this cottage for Christmas it was our first Christmas away and we've thoroughly enjoyed it , the cottage is absolutely gorgeous really comfortable and very welcoming ."
There's everything you need there to have a comfortable holiday and more , we didn't want to leave
-
"Well appointed cottage, very clean and comfortable."
Nice using decent cutlery and crockery when away, instead of the normal cheapest from Ikea. Lovely views from the front, over the valley. Only slight grumble is the 10am vacate on the Sunday, which when only there for the weekend, with friends having travelled some distance is disappointing.

This delightfully-presented cottage offers a warm and welcoming holiday home for friends and family, and has been stylishly furnished throughout.
Off road parking leads up steps to a delightful cottage garden with far-reaching views over the valley, and when you step inside the property you will appreciate the quality of finish in the modern, fitted kitchen with dining table, warmed by a woodburner, set into a stone chimney breast.
The sitting room with feature fireplace offers a relaxing social space with comfy modern sofas, where you can sit and enjoy the views over the garden and across to the River Conwy.
Upstairs both bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, and offer a double room and twin room with undisturbed views from the dormer windows.

Alternatively, perhaps enjoy an energetic walk up through Trefriw to Llyn Crafnant with its circular lakeside walk.
This is a lovely cottage with stunning views and furnished with everything you require for a memorable family holiday or cosy romantic break.
About the location
TREFRIW
Llanrwst 2 miles; Betws-y-Coed 5 miles.
The pretty village of Trefriw is situated in the beautiful Conwy Valley and is within the Snowdonia National Park. Trefriw is ideally placed for all manner of activities and attractions with the splendour of both the National Park and the North Wales Coast on the doorstep. For its size the village offers a good selection of shops, pubs etc. There is also a working woollen mill and craft shop. The Trefriw Wells Spa - discovered by the Romans and still in use today - is worth a visit. Fishing is available on the River Conwy and also in wonderful lakes in the hills above Trefriw, notably Llyn Crafnant. The whole area is a walker’s paradise and there are numerous beautiful routes around and above the village. Other local attractions include Gwydyr Castle which is a fine example of a Tudor courtyard house, and the extensive Gwydyr Forest Park. Llanrwst is a fine old market town with a good range of local shops reached across the River Conwy from Trefriw by a famous bridge. Betws-y-Coed, North Wales' most popular inland resort, is also only a short drive away.
