Reviews
Absolutely loved the Cottage. We felt completely immersed in our surroundings. This great little cottage was perfect for our family (4 adults,1 baby and our dog). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and the location.
The location was fantastic and the cottage was very comfortable and relaxing. I liked being located so that it was easy to get to the coast or the mountains.
Lovely welcoming cottage - home from home.
A very homely cosy cottage that is well equipped. We really enjoyed our time here and would go back.
The Cottage was an excellent 'interpretation' of an original slate-worker's home in a slate quarrying village. It carried the sense of that way of life into the modern idiom without losing touch with the original. You could feel the history in the slate and stone. Ideally located for everything the area has to offer, which is a huge amount.
Top marks, couldn't fault the cottage at all. We (including our dogs) were made to feel very welcome by the owners. We would definitely visit again and recommend this beautiful cottage. Thanks again.
This was our first visit to Snowdonia and we had a wonderful time walking in beautiful scenery. The cottage was comfortable and snug and had everything needed for a pleasant stay. We arrived back home thoroughly relaxed and refreshed.
An amazing little cottage. Compliments to the owners, was made to feel extremely welcome. Thank you.
We loved the location in beautiful surrounding
Its a lovely Cottage in a very good location for touring the area and I would happily stay there again. The owners have thought very carefully about the comfort of their guests and what is necessary to make their stay a happy one. I would very happily stay there again.
The cottage was in a good location to enjoy much of the stunning scenery and lovely beaches of North Wales.
Lovely place to stay for a week.
The cottage was very warm and inviting. The standard was very high, and little extras provided that you do not get in a lot of places. There was a wealth of information on attractions, which proved to be very useful. All in all this cottage is one of the best we have stayed in, and we hope to return in the near future as there is still so much more to explore.
The cottage was comfortable and pretty, and the front garden was nice too. The bedrooms were a good size and had plenty of storage space.
There was so much attention to detail by the owners. Loved the effort they had put in to suggesting activities, restaurants, local walks etc. It was great to have extras like OS maps and compass, tea, coffee, milk, wine and especially bara brith! There was literally nothing that we wanted or needed which wasn't already in the cottage. We needn't have taken so much stuff!
Excellent location, very central for all attractions in the area.
Fantastic, superb cottage, couldn't ask for more.
We couldn't ask for anything more from the property - it was great and the kids had a great time especially seeing the trains goes by!
A very comfortable and well equipped cottage, ideal for us. Lovely situation, conveniently located for day-to-day supplies in Blaenau. The Visitor Information manual gave us a clear idea of the thought and care which had gone into the restoration of the cottage, (beautifully done!), which was of great interest and most entertaining. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
An excellent property, very well stocked and with lovely 'extra' touches such as the home-made cake and wine. Lovely owners who answered all our questions.
We had a fabulous holiday as location was excellent for amazing walks and scenery. The owners were extremely helpful, they had left an excellent, easy to follow file containing useful information about the amenities and surrounding area.
The location of the property was a great starting point for lots of different enjoyable walks which we, and our dogs, loved! The cottage was very clean and well equipped and had everything you could possibly need!
Everything we expected. A delightful two up/two down terraced cottage, with a downstairs extension containing a well equipped kitchen and a decent sized bathroom. Rest of the house was neat, tidy and certainly the best rental we've stayed in. Nice welcome pack, umbrellas in the hallway, log fire, Satellite freeview TV, games, books, maps etc. We would definitely visit again and recommend to friends.
In an area of outstanding natural beauty and everything was easily accessible.
The cottage was ideally placed for a lot of the local attractions and had some great walks from the doorstep. The welcome gifts from the owners were a particularly nice touch.
The cottage was fantastic to come back to at the end of the day. We had two different types of weather, very bad and very good, in both styles the cottage was immense. Everything and extra was taken care of, tea, coffee, compasses, extensive tour guide, games, dvd's, accouterments for the bathroom and bedrooms and 2 nights log fire requirements. Everything and beyond was thought of even a washer dryer. All was well thought of. Thank you.
