“The house is right in the centre of Llanberis with everything walkable.”

We used the three good sized double bedrooms and it was great to have three shower/bath rooms. Kitchen was well stocked, adjacent dining room of ample size, but it was impossible to seat six on the living room sofa (as other reviews have mentioned). The only other downside was the dryer being inoperable and with the weather being what it was, we were unable to wash clothes and dry them.

“A cracking location for doing activities in the Llanberis area.”

Grocery shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants are on the doorstep. We loved that the house was 'upside down' so you had lovely views from the kitchen and living areas. We are sure that the terrace would be a proper sun trap in the summer ( it was a bit nippy to sit out when we were there) . For walkers wanting to walk to the peak of Snowdon/Wyddfa - the Llanberis path route can be accessed easily (signposted just across the road only yards away from the front door )

“The property on arrival was as expected.”

Clean, tidy, and as per the listing. The communication from the property caretaker was absolutely on point. She established communication about a week or so out, provided all the required information and some extra local knowledge. During our stay, we had to report an issue with the tumbledrier and she acted on this straight away. As we prepared to leave, she again spoke with us about what was required and what wasn't to allow us as easy departure as possible. Really helpful with good knowledge.

“Beautiful cottage and love the upside down floors!”

! Very comfortable bedrooms and view from kitchen and dining room windows was just perfect. Garden very well maintained and enjoyed the fresh blueberries from the garden. Cottage was cleaned to a high standard when we arrived. Kitchen huge. We met the caretakers when we were leaving - a credit to the owners in maintaining the cottage. Only negative is shower in main bathroom could be a power shower. Overall all, a wonderful relaxing holiday in a wonderful scenic setting and a fantastic, comfortable cottage. Will be back next year!

“The shower in the big bathroom was awful, really needs updating to a power shower.”

We had to take it off the holder and shower by hand. The tumble dryer takes a very long time to dry clothes and isn't very energy efficient. We enjoyed our stay, the views are wonderful as is the location. The property was very clean. Dee is wonderful, she is very helpful and can't do enough to help.

“We enjoyed our stay at Maesteg very much.”

It was perfect for our party of 7. The three bedrooms that share the family bathroom are clustered together, and the two ensuite rooms are further along the corridor, which is a very convenient layout. Upstairs, the kitchen is large and well equipped, the dining room a bit of a squeeze and the lounge has seating for only 4 or 5 guests on the big corner sofa, so we used our deck chairs in there so that we could all sit together. The place was comfortable and warm, and had a good vibe. We would definitely return if we are in the area again.

“We loved our stay at Maesteg with three people in their 70/80 ,s it would have been better with an extra hand rail on the stairs and a toilet upstairs, the beds were the very best I slept in and it could have benefitted from an extra chair in the lounge but the property was beautiful.”

The single bedroom with the en-suite needs someone taller than my 5 foot 1 to reach the shower controls.

“This house is an excellent base for waking with outstanding views.”

The kitchen is very well equipped and having the garage/utility facilities is perfect for drying off wet walking boots etc. An extra chair in the lounge would be useful. Very good communication from the caretaker.

Susan August 2023

“The house was fantastic, the only thing letting it down was the unused outdoor balcony.”

We brought camping chairs as we’d read other reviews but it’s a shame that such a great space is completely unused. Thanks for a fabulous stay.

“A great property in a great location.”

Some constructive feedback: Property somewhat let down by the complete lack of garden furniture. The large roof terrace could be a good space to sit out, enjoy the much touted views, even BBQ and dine al fresco. But given the lack of outside furniture it's just a waste of space. Also only having the lawns cut once a month means the front of the property can look untidy between cuts. Also, as the property is dog friendly, guests should know that rhubarb, strawberries and blackcurrants are grown in the garden. These are a temptation for dogs (although not dangerous, they can upset tummies). Clearer guidance on recycling would also help.

“A fantastic property in an amazing location.”

Good local facilities and easy access to Snowdonia, Anglesey etc. Lovely roof terrace with fab views - a shame there was no seating on roof - we had a couple of camping chairs with us but the area is crying out for some patio furniture. Kitchen well equipped, bedrooms spacious and a nice garden. We had 2 visits from sheep who jumped over the wall :-)

“Nous avons apprécié notre séjour à Maesteg.”

La résidence est bien situé au centre du village et à 1 minute de marche de l’épicerie et des restaurants et près des magnifiques montagnes du parc Snowdonia et du lac Padarn. L’endroit est sympathique avec un cachet campagnard et vieillot. Nous avons apprécié la cuisine assez bien équipée mais les recouvrements de planchers avec tapis et sous tapis bien que confortables on été une source d’allergène pour nous. Il y a plusieurs salle de bain et une salle d’eau à l’étage des chambres mais aucune à l’étage du salon et de la cuisine ce qui serait vraiment pratique.

“Once you've got used to the "upside down" house, it really is fantastic accommodation.”

Superb location for so many activities as well, and walking distance to many bars, restaurants etc.

“A beautiful house in a beautiful place.”

This 'upside down' house makes the most of the wonderful mountain scenery. Spacious, clean, well furnished, well equipped and decorated to high standard. Wood burning stove in lounge great for winter stays and roof terrace great for warmer days. Location on high street means easy walking distance and level access to a variety of shops, cafes and pubs. Lots of nearby visitor attractions and fabulous walking - lake, waterfalls, mountain and lake railways, slate museum, castle, Snowdon itself and more. Lovely well kept garden, safe for dogs and children. Very highly recommended. Our party of 7 adults had a wonderful stay.

“Nice house in a beautiful location which was perfect for our needs.”

A special thanks to Dee for being such a kind and friendly host to us.

Nicola April 2022

“The house was perfect for us and in a great location.”

The host was really helpful and responded quickly to any questions. The log burner was a real bonus and the beds were super comfy. Everything felt recently updated and new and an extra ‘boot room’ was great for all that walking gear. Milk in the fridge for when we arrived was an extra welcome and climbing holds above the lounge door a nice touch! We would definite stay again.

Paul March 2022

“Good property, accurate, comfortable, good location.”

Could not fault it at all. The owners / caretakers very kindly left us some milk in the fridge so we could have a brew after our long drive to arrive. They were very helpful and showed great customer service. Pleasure to stay there.

It is also close to the picturesque Coed y Brenin Forest Park.

On arrival, you'll find a spacious private driveway with room for two cars, as well as a charming, fenced garden with a picnic bench where you can enjoy your first cup of coffee in peace and quiet.

Upon entering, you'll find five tastefully decorated bedrooms on the ground-floor there are five well-presented bedrooms to choose from at the end of the evening, a king-size room with en-suite shower room, a king- size room, one double, a single with en-suite shower room and a single, each with plenty of storage for your belongings and ensuring flexible sleeping arrangements.

After a satisfying meal, continue the evening out on the patio balcony to enjoy the evening sunlight or pop downstairs to the well maintained garden to allow your canine companions to stretch their legs, or retire to the generous corner sofa for a night in front of your favourite film on the TV, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby Take advantage of your fantastic location and visit Llanberis, where you can learn about the area's history at the National Slate Museum, located in the Dinorwig Quarry World Heritage Site, and explore the intriguing 13th-century ruins of Dolbadarn Castle.

You can also go kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding on the expansive Llyn Padarn, or simply relax and take in the views on a trip on the Llanberis Lake Rail, which runs alongside the lake.

About the location

LLANBERIS

Caernarfon 7 miles; Bangor 10 miles; Betws-y-Coed 17 miles.

Dominated by the grandeur of the Yr Wyddfa (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 Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a mecca for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year, a triathlon known as the world's toughest, and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26-mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. The area is also popular for mountain biking, open water swimming and stand up paddle boarding. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 7 miles from Llanberis on the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens.

Please note: Can guests close all windows and the gate to the property upon departure.
