Glan Y Ddol

Cottage decor was very nice and all very clean.

Nice welcome pack. Bathroom probably ok for agile people but not for me with arthritis. Nice garden , and secure for the dogs. Trefriw we thought was a lovely friendly village.

We stayed 5 nights at Glan y Ddol and it is a wonderful well equiped cottage.

We've stayed at many cottages but there was something about it that was very special homely, magical, might be the history or the good planning that makes use of every little space. Yes the bathroom was compact but we enjoyed many baths with no issues. The bed was very comfy so was the seating in the living room. There was an abundance of treats in the welcome pack and even our dog Tess was spoilt for choice-thank you. The garden was secure and safe for Tess to explore and relax. I must emphasize that Glan y Ddol was perfect; quirky but modern in an area surrounded by beauty. Thank you so much. Dil, Myf & Tess

We absolutely loved the cottage.

The living area and bedrooms were spacious the kitchen was compact but well designed and the bathroom was quirky and delightful! Everything we needed was there it was warm comfortable clean and well equipped. It gave us easy access to visit our friend in llanrwychwyn and other great walking areas. Would visit again!

We had a great bang & boom firework night free stay much to the delight of our little furballs.

. Listening to an owl in the graveyard opposite at midnight was a bonus...The butchers shop a few yards away was really good.. The only small moan we have was the small bathroom..Couldn't shower !

Bathroom needs some consideration, as we left 3 days earlier as we couldn’t shower or bath without physical problems due to the cramps space.

The cottage itself was fantastic an also the area but shortage of space is a dilemma. We saw the photos but we were prepared to deal with space issues, but we’re not prepared for how small it was……. Especially the Main areas, being kitchen an bathroom. We had to leave but, hoovered, mopped a cleaned up previous renters before we went . We did try make most of it xxx

Beautiful cottage with comfy beds.

We were a bit worried about the bathroom location but once we arrived we realised it wasn't a problem. The village of Trefriw is beautiful, the Fairy Falls Hotel is about 2 mins walking distance, is dog friendly and the food is amazing.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and clean.

We appreciated the milk & biscuits on arrival! My wife has a blanket issue so we were a little concerned with the bathroom on the stairs however the staircase has been cleverly modified. We feel the ceiling lighting in the lounge lacked suffient light and it was difficult to have a shower without a shower screen/curtain but overall a great place and lovely garden space. Thank you

Cosy well equipped cottage.

Comfortable bed. Very safe garden for dogs Very good location Very nice village, Good walks from cottage Appreciated welcome pack

Glan Y Ddol is lovely and the surrounding area is incredible!

We will definitely be returning to Trefriw sometime, it's so well located for the mountains and the forests. We enjoyed staying in GyD, our only constructive feedback would be that the induction hob was a bit tricky to use (some food in pans would cook unevenly) and the bath/shower was very pokey, but we appreciate there's not much that can be done about space in an old cottage!

Lovely cottage in a great situation.

Thankyou

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage, it was just perfect, it was so lovely of the owners to leave us all the extras especially for our four legged friends -

We really enjoyed our stay, loved the quirkiness of cottage and the welcome pack was a nice surprise.

Local shop and pubs were great.

There was no microwave contrary to the facilities description.

The TV was too far away for the remote to work from the lounge seating area. Choice of channels was poor. Stairway had no carpet, and you cannot hold onto the stairway bannister as the wall is too close. My wife fell on the stairs due to no carpet and not being able to grab the handrail. It is also a very very tight squeeze to get a car past the stone wall at the side of the cottage to access the car park area at the back.

An amazing cottage in a lovely village with beautiful walks on you doorstep.

Everything you need is provided . The bathroom is an engineering marvel on how you can fit it all in such a small space. The most amazing shop across the road with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

A bit of a late review as we stayed in September 23.

The cottage is in a great location, really easy to get to. There’s 2 fantastic pubs within a few minutes walk and a butchers opposite selling a good selection of bits, including fresh cooked pies & pastries. The parking was great, just a bit tight getting in and out but lots of room on the gravel driveway. The outdoor spaces are great. Inside is welcoming, comfortable and clean. Small bathroom and kitchen, but that’s obvious from the pictures/description and wasn’t an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and have booked to come back in a few weeks time.

This was our third visit to this wonderful cottage excellent location with parking, with pubs and restaurants less than a 2 minute walk and a butchers across the road where you can get pretty much everything and the most amazing pies and sausage rolls.

Lovely lakes within walking distance makes it an ideal base if you don't want to go out in the car everyday. Everything in the cottage is well thought out and cosy and everything you need to make it a home from home holiday. Do not be put off by previous reviews of the bathroom as long as you don't have mobility problems it's absolutely fine.

This cottage a credit to Andrew and Nicola ,we did not want for nothing , we only used the double bedroom but great quality mattress and bedding .

The kitchen was well equipped , like home from home really . Really well set out and comfortable lounge to relax in the evening , and although the bathroom is compact I had several baths no problem and I am six foot . This is one of the best rental cottages we have stopped in and we go away every year , We will certainly be returning to this property . Many thanks Mark and Angela.

Lovely cottage parking a bonus, lovely touch of a welcome pack home decor beautifully done to a high speck.

garden areas large . We have family in the village so was ideal for us. We will definitely return thank you for a lovely stay.

Cottage was lovelley very homley , great location for us lots of dog walks and enough amenities in village Great pub in called the ship amazing food there to Not to far from conwy Castle and llandudno

Absolutely amazing property, had everything we needed.

Spotlessly clean and ample parking. The village is fantastic too. I highly recommend this property.

This is a lovely little cottage, however the position of the bathroom right on the middle of the wooden staircase is VERY dangerous.

We were all grown adults and had to take great care when entering/exiting the bathroom. I would hate to take children here. The bathroom itself was tiny. We were very lucky with the weather and had beautiful sunshine so a lovely fresh shower each day would have been nice but you couldn’t shower properly as you couldn’t stand up in there due to the low roofs and you couldn’t have a bath as the bath was tiny too. Just had to make do with very uncomfortable half bent over showers which splashed everywhere. The kitchen area was well equipped but we did miss not having a microwave!! The dining and living area was nice however there was a strong smell in the living room. Later in the week we realised the smell was from 2 throws that were in a basket in the corner which were filthy dirty and smelt of wet dogs. (We put these in the out cupboard). The village and local pubs were lovely we had some great food here. And the gardens were lovely and a great sun trap.

This is a wonderful comfy cottage in an excellent location.

Yes the bathroom and the kitchen are small but the rest of the property make up for this. It has a lovely homely feel and a wonderful outdoor space that you can enjoy. A lovely welcome pack is there to greet you and the owners were so helpful with anything we needed.

The cottage is delightful, and it has clearly received very thoughtful furnishings and decoration.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it included in some designer magazines! The master bedroom in particular was a delight. I slept well there, even better than I do sometimes at home. As mentioned by others, the bathroom is a challenge. Having been forewarned, I took with me some old towels to mop the floor. Job done! The hosts were very welcoming and generous with some goodies left for us on our arrival. They were also very patient with a few issues I had (all completely my own fault) and helpful in guiding me through relevant instructions. And the location!! We could not have chosen a better base for our week, plus we were incredibly lucky with the weather. Just one tip. Look out for the peacocks

We had a wonderful few days at the cottage, it was ideally located and equipped for all of our needs and we all agreed it had a warm homely feel compared to other places we've stayed.

Yes the bathroom is snug, but perfectly useable. Loved the decor of the whole house & outside area! Note the village pub, The Ship, doesn't allow dogs and the brasserie doesn't allow dogs or children, The Fairy Falls pub allows all!

The property is very quaint.

The main bedroom window is unable to open so no fresh air can be let in due to being painted shut. I would say it’s strange not to have the tv beside the sofa so you can relax and chill with a movie at night. The tv is situated at the dinning table not comfortable to sit at. If you have a large car parking on the drive can be an issue. Kitchen and Bathroom are very small and difficult to access if you’re not physically able. Not much open around the area out of the season, although a lovely butchers and bakery over the road from the property.

Gorgeous cottage.

So clean and cosy. Perfect base to explore. The host could not be more accommodating. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings.

Immediately felt at peace and at home. We didn't want to leave.

Beautiful little cottage but bathroom very compact and access challenging (not suitable for small children or elderly) Ideal location for exploring Snowdonia, pretty little village, lots of walks nearby and fantastic Fairy Falls a must visit in the village.

Nearby pubs excellent food.

The cottage was beautiful and very comfortable.

Perfectly located for Snowdon & the beaches, and we loved walking up to the lakes. Using the little bathroom could be a bit awkward, but the shower hose was powerful and hot. Brilliant that there is parking & comfortable outside furniture. We had an incredible week!

A lovely little cottage which is ideally placed for touring/walks.

Fully equipped with good quality utensils. Because of the nature of the building the cottage was always fairly cool which at times was great during the very hot spell when we arrived, but tended to be a bit cold by evening (July!!) necessitating an hour of central heating. One thing we did notice is that there is a large gap around the entry door which will probably cause a considerable drought/heat loss for autumn/winter visitors which would be simple to correct. The bathroom was as mentioned in write-up and for anyone much over 5’ will cause problems and for anyone (dare I say it) considerably overweight - forget it! The bath is very small more like a large tub, the sink is very tiny with a high pressure tap with very hot water, as it the handheld shower and it is this element which causes water to spray everywhere. We ended up leaving a paper kitchen roll in situ and buying our own bath mat which isn’t provided but avoided having to use the lovely towels provided which I’m sure most people will use for standing/mopping up. On a plus point due to the above it’s probably the cleanest bathroom , with good quality fittings which look new, in the whole village. Our son/wife visited for two nights and they loved it (apart from bathroom, he’s 6’ ) and it was great sitting outside on the very comfortable seats with a drink at night. Very quiet and peaceful with ample private parking for two cars.

We love this cottage, everything was super clean and there was all facilities.

We really loved our stay there and village was quiet and relaxing. Love to visit there some other time in the future. Thanks

The cottage has low doorways which I believe should be in description.

Also the bathroom is so small. Not suitable for children. Cannot use as a shower as their is not enough height to be able to stand. Therefore had to have a sit up bath. However location is superb.

Just a problem with the bathroom but this was explained in the info.

We managed but it is an awkward set up.

Lovely stay here.

Clearly a lot of attention has gone into the refurbishment of this cottage. Nice welcome pack on our arrival. Great location too, enabled us to get out and explore, and make use of the nearby dog friendly Fairy Falls hotel for meals most evenings. Just wish we had more prior warning about the shared access of the driveway with the property to the rear. As well as the occupant of this property coming in and out , we had part of one day where we were blocked in when a large van came on the drive and move furniture in, and the same the following day when an occupant moved out. During this time we had to keep ourselves and our dog in the cottage.

Cute little cottage.

Perfectly clean and ideally situated to visit many north wales attractions from Llandudno to snowdon. Couple of pubs near by too, just a few steps away. Kitchen is very tiny but as we like to eat out whilst away that wasn’t an issue. The bathroom is very tiny but manageable. Would recommend and would visit again.

Lovely little cottage in a great location for exploring Snowdonia.

It had everything we needed as a family. The wifi worked well and Netflix was used a lot. We also made use of the log burner a couple of nights which really warmed the lounge nicely. Welcome pack had some lovely unexpected treats too.

We enjoyed our stay -it’s a lovely ,cosy ,comfortable cottage in a lovely village -set up for holidays with plenty of places within walking distance .

We also enjoyed the local walks and visiting the local attractions in The National Park Excellent location for exploring Snowdonia .We had a power cut during our stay due to the storms and the owners were very helpful .

Great welcome pack when you arrive, very thoughtful even dog treats.

Nicely equipped kitchen, good size oven. I am diary and gluten intolerant so tend not to eat out so much, so it was great to see good cooking facilities. Only negative was that it was such a mission to open the front door that we only used it the once Had a superb holiday

A beautiful character cottage in the centre of Trefriw.

It has been renovated to a very high standard and has everything you need and more. Spacious lounge/diner with cosy log burner. Loved the exposed beams and original stone lintel above the fireplace. Spacious bedrooms and comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is small but quirky - we had to fold up my 6 foot husband to get him in the bath!! :-) But it’s spotlessly clean and plenty of hot water and fluffy towels. Arriving on a cold December evening it was lovely to see the cottage lit up with Christmas decorations and a bottle of mulled wine waiting for us. The hosts had also thoughtfully left some treats for our dog. NB. For any dog owners - a 5 minute walk away, just beyond the Recreation Ground, is a free dog exercise field where they can have a good run around and poop bags/bins are provided. Cottage is also suitable for babies - we were travelling with our 5 month old - plenty of space for a travel cot in either bedroom. The property is in an ideal spot for exploring the local area and Trefriw is much more peaceful than nearby Betws y Coed. We were visiting for a christening at St Rhychwyn’s church in Llanrhychwyn - the oldest church in Wales and well worth a visit. We would definitely recommend this spot and would love to come back.

Really lovely cottage with a nice cosy vibe and large outdoor area for the dog, we had a really pleasant stay thank you!

The area is gorgeous and we had a really fun night at fairy falls pub! Also lovely touch with our welcome pack and wine thanks so much! Bathroom was a little smaller than we expected but did the job, I would definitely stay here again and my dog loved it too, especially snuggling up in front of the log burner

The house is lovely and was very clean.

Nice and comfortable and it had everything we needed for our stay. It’s in a perfect location to explore the area.

All as described and very good.

Thank you.
