October 2024

“A lovely cottage with stunning views, stocked with everything you could need, including Tea, Coffee, Milk and Cake.”

We only ate breakfast as we were out all day and evening. Only slight problem was the low water pressure which didn't affect us too much.

“I would recommend Coed Bolyn Cottage to any group who would like to stay somewhere warm, cosy, bright, spotlessly clean, with spectacular views, and friendly and helpful owners .”

We also had very good communication with the owners . We were a group of friends with different likes and Coed Bolyn suited us all. Most places we wanted to visit were within easy access of the cottage. It was a perfect place to stay .

Darran May 2023

“Just returned from a fantastic holiday staying at Coed Bolyn Lodge.”

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Very easy to find and a fantastic location for visiting all the wonderful attractions in the area. The views surrounding the cottage are amazing along with the beautiful sunsets. It was so peaceful and quiet and was lovely to sit out in the garden and relax. It was great to stay somewhere that provides decent sized towels, we've stayed at many places that say towels provided and they are the smallest towels that would only cover a child, but thankfully we didn't have that issue here. The communication from the owners was great. A wonderful holiday and can't wait to come back.

Joanne April 2023

“Coed Bolyn Lodge was everything we needed.”

Perfect layout for families, very clean, and well equipped. Most of all the stunning views, breath taking. Set in a quiet location but surrounded by so many things to do and places to visit. We hope to return for a longer stay.

- Joanne, April 2023
Susan April 2023

“The cottage is set in a peaceful and tranquil spot with fabulous views of Snowdon and the surrounding countryside.”

The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and obviously a loved family holiday home. History of the cottage is an interesting read. There are many places to visit both free and payable in the area including two beautiful and interesting National Trust properties. Llanberis is a must do, whether it’s to go up Snowdon on the train or catch the little train for a trip round the lake or just wander! Our main reason to visit was for two of our party to use the zip wire at Zip world - WOW they loved it! Beautiful sunny day so great trip! Only things that let the cottage down are the water pressure which was dire and no outside patio area where we could sit and enjoy the sun. We had a fabulous weekend and loved the cottage.

- Susan, April 2023

Many thanks for the helpful feedback. We are sorry however that the water pressure was an issue, which we have reported to Welsh Water, with a site visit scheduled to identify the scope for improvement. The low pressure is most noticeable at times when 2 or more taps or appliances are running at the same times. Property Owner
Caren April 2023

“Absolutely loved this cottage.”

Perfect location for exploring the area. Unbelievable views of the mountains. Sunrise and sunset visible from the cottage too. Inside was specious and well laid out with everything you could need. Gwyn and Sue were fab communicating with us via email about anything we needed to know. They also returned a teddy that got left behind on the drive!! Wouldn’t even let us pay for the postage. A fantastic holiday and would absolutely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for our wonderful stay in your property.

- Caren, April 2023
Paula March 2023

“Really lovely property.”

Ideally located and set in grounds with a beautiful views. Immaculately clean , well equipped and comfortable beds. Not five stars only because the water pressure was not great in one of the showers and the temperature could not be adequately controlled. No problem as there were only three of us and we used the one shower, however this would have been an issue if there was six of us. I would recommend this property and will stay again in the future. Contact from the hosts was very informative and comprehensive. Excellent hosts and property.

Tony November 2022

“We stayed at Coed Bolyn Lodge for 3 nights.”

What a wonderful place, spotlessly clean and everything you could wish for- magical views, cosy, comfortable, spacious and only a short journey from everything you need. The only downside was having to come home!! Gwyn & Sue were so helpful- thank you so much. ❤️

- Tony, November 2022

Martin September 2022

“We had an excellent stay.”

The cottage is in a great location for exploring the area and attractions that we wanted and the views are fabulous. The facilities were everything we needed and more. We loved how spacious it was. There were just a few niggles. Low water pressure which you probably can't do anything about. I have a back problem so I had difficulty getting comfortable on the very soft settees. Your cleaner may have had an off day because there were crumbs on the settee and on the dining chairs but apart from that we couldn't fault the cleanliness. Thanks for a great stay. Martin

Mary August 2022

“This is by far the best holiday accommodation we have experienced.”

The cottage is clean, comfortable, well furnished and exceptionally well resourced. There are wonderful views of Snowdon from the garden. This was our third visit and will not be our last. Thank you to owners Sue and Gwyn for your attention to detail

- Mary, August 2022
Robert April 2022

“Coed Boleyn Lodge provides excellent accommodation.”

Its location is superb and meets our needs superbly for travelling around North Wales or just sitting still and enjoying the landscape! Gwyn and Sue are wonderful hosts and we thank them again for their generosity. We hope to return in the not too distant future.

Joyce October 2021

“A fabulous week at Coed Bolyn Lodge.”

Fantastic setting with stunning views, really comfortable lodge with everything we could want for a week stay. Gwyn and Sue were really friendly and helpful. The Lodge is in a great location to access lots of attractions - we went Rib Riding, Zip Wiring, visited National Trust properties, lots of walks (up hills and along beaches), visited the Sea Zoo and ate at some lovely places. We would recommend the Sea Shanty Cafe on Anglesey and The Swellies cafe in Y Felinheli for a cooked breakfast.

- Joyce, October 2021
Margaret October 2021

Carole June 2021

“The cottage is lovely and a credit to the owners.”

Everything is provided that you could possibly need. The scenery from all the windows is amazing and the location is ideal for venturing further afield. We will return. We had a lovely week and the weather was perfect. Sue & Gwyn the owners are a phone call away and so helpful. Carole, Ted & mum.

Pauline September 2020

“Spotlessly clean, felt the owners/caretakers had gone a long way to make the cottage Covid safe.”

It was much appreciated. Great touring location for Snowdonia and surrounding area. We would definitely go back.

- Pauline, September 2020
Rina July 2020

“The cottage was just perfect, lovely cosy place, spectacular views, lots of space indoor and outdoor, everything was spotless and the location was great.”

It was unfortunate that several facilities and places of interest in north wales were closed as the easy of the lockdown in Wales is slower than in England for some strange reason. However, the proximity of the house to both Snowdonia Park and the Anglesey beaches, made our holiday a fantastic experience.

- Rina, July 2020
Dipesh September 2019

“Cottage The cottage was great.”

It was very well equipped with all that was needed for a home away from home. We were two families staying with two toddlers and one infant. The open plan living kitchen diner was perfect allowing us to cook while the children played. All being on the ground floor meant there was no problem with stair gates and no worry about letting the children play around the cottage. The garden was great for them to play in with plenty of birds around to keep their interest. While the weather was not warm enough for us to eat out, it would be a lovely setting for eating outside The view of the Snowdon and Glyder ranges is spectacular. Location. Great for the hills and the coast. Perfect for exploring all Snowdonia has to offer and very east to reach from main roads. Shops are a little distance away as is the nearest pub. Would definitely recommend this little gem.

- Dipesh, September 2019
Michael September 2019

“Cottage was lovely ,couldn't fault anything, the owners were also lovely made us feel very welcome, would definitely stay there again .”

- Michael, September 2019
Susan September 2019

“The cottage had an interesting history which the owners were pleased to share with photographic and written information.”

The views from the cottage are spectacular and the location is very good. Both Anglesey, the Lleyn peninsula as well as Snowdonia are within easy driving distance. There was plenty of information about place to visit. In fact I could have lived there as a permanent residence!

- Susan, September 2019
G June 2019

“Tray in shower for toiletries would help, some heavier duty curtains to reduce light in bedrooms, some hooks on backs of doors for bathrobes etc.”

Otherwise, this cottage is excellent all round with a stunning location

- G, June 2019
Julia June 2019

“This was a lovely place to stay, the views were fantastic in all directions.”

It was a perfect base to stay while visiting Snowdon, the National Slate Mine etc and much more including Anglesey and surrounding coast. The cottage had plenty of storage and the rooms were spacious. Also plenty of parking, as it was all on the ground floor without steps this made it ideal for my parents with their walkers. We would certainly stay again and may try and come back with our family to enjoy a walking holiday as well. Next time we would probably book a fortnights stay as it is such a good location for everything.

- Julia, June 2019
Kevin May 2019

“A lovely family holiday cottage in a fantastic location.”

Ideal for both the North coast and Anglesea beaches, Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. A fantastic holiday.

- Kevin, May 2019
Mohammed Quraishi Apr 2019

“Coed Bolyn Lodge is becoming a home from home for us as this was our third stay.”

We love the peace and tranquility of the location as there are no neighbouring properties. Our only neigbours were the surrounding sheep and their lambs. The property is always spotlessly clean, bright, airy and tastefully furnished. We have visited Spring, Summer and Autumn and each stay has been wonderful.

“Nice cottage in great location.”

Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. We were close to requesting cleaning service, but decided we didn't want the hassle (like pointing out where cleaning was necessary). Lots of bugs in middle bedroom. Strange unpleasant smell throughout the cottage. (Has someone applied a pesticide? There were lots of dead bugs along skirting boards in bedrooms...)

- , Jul 2018

The owners wish to apologise and stress that they personally attend each week to prepare the property for the arrival of guests, but were unable to do so in person on this isolated occasion Property Owner

“Cottage was excellent.”

Spacious and clean. Location was excellent. BUT when you book a cottage that boasts 'smart TV' I think it is reasonable to expect that the internet connection is good enough to use it. The wifi signal did not cover the entire cottage. Purchasing a wifi extender (£25) or a PLA pair (£35) would solve that problem but it would not solve the 1mbs download speed. What really annoyed me is that FTTC broadband would be available at this cottage, at a guarranteed 25mbs minimum & up to 40 mbs. It would cost about £5 a week extra (unlimited downloads) over the poor adsl service they opted for....which is only enough to serve 1 user. The cottage sleeps 6.

- , Jun 2018

Thanks for your review, we have since fitted a WiFi extender giving coverage throughout the house and garden. Property Owner
Mary Jarvis Jun 2018

“Very comfortable in every way.”

Peaceful location, but only minutes to amenities. Easy to get to Anglesey, Snowdonia, Llyn etc. Everything we needed was in the cottage, the attention to detail was excellent. Lovely to arrive to fresh flowers and a welcome tray after a long and stressful drive. Would be very happy to stay at Coed Boleyn Lodge again.

- Mary Jarvis, Jun 2018

“Just a very well laid out and clean property.”

It had everything we needed. We never book properties where dogs are allowed for all sorts of reasons and so we were really pleased to find this very special place. The setting was very beautiful too.

“The Lodge is very well situated for access for all parts ofNorth West Wales.”

. The views of the mountains are stunning. The cottage itself is well designed with the open plan giving a light airy feel. It was supplied with everything you could need.

We agree - the mountain views from this cottage are simply superb! We really hope that you will come back to North Wales and stay in one of our holiday cottages again very soon. Property Owner

“Nicely situated modern bungalow adapted from an old house.”

Furnishings were comfortable and nicely done. The views are terrific but obscured by clouds and rain for most of our stay. After a discussion with the owner about safety precautions we were able to use the clothes dryer

About the location

Bethel

Caernarfon 3.5 miles, Llanberis 6 miles

Bethel is a small village with one pubs, a Post Office, and a 9-hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, only 5 miles from famous Llanberis. Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis is something of a 'mecca' for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Llanberis boasts excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 4 miles from Bethel, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent 13th century castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd and many wonderful beaches.
