“We all had a wonderful time at Ddol Hely G Barn.”

Three generations, 5 bedrooms, all with en suites - ideal for a large family. The accommodation was clean, spacious, airy and perfectly positioned within a beautiful area of North Wales. Our host Barbara was very welcoming and helpful. Thank you

“Family trip to Snowdonia for the weekend.”

We were 12 people including children. Lovely ,clean ,spacious , well equipped cottage - including, tea, coffee ,sugar iron with ironing stand ,hand wash in the kitchen and all the ensuites . Welsh cakes and a cake were also provided in the kitchen . All bedrooms were ensuite. Plenty of space for all of us with a nice big dining table in the kitchen to accommodate all of us. The owner was very nice and gave me instructions on the phone re how to find the cottage but unfortunately we still got lost . We arrived very late but she was awake and guided us to the cottage. Location was very good with a short drive to mount Snowden and Zipworld. Piggery Pottery was on site and the children really enjoyed spending a few hours painting some pottery. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are planning a visit to Snowdonia.

- Shamila, October 2023
Debbie July 2023

Ania February 2023

“We had a wonderful stay!”

The property was perfect for our group of 10 plus a dog—spacious and well-maintained. Its proximity to Snowdon trails was a major plus. The place was impeccably clean, and the host was lovely and responsive. Highly recommend!

- Ania, February 2023
Christine February 2023

“Lovely property and surroundings.”

Good to have the pottery on site for the young ones, a discount would have been a bonus. All in all a great stay.

- Christine, February 2023
Garth January 2023

“Lovely homely cottage, plenty of room for our family with children and grandchildren.”

We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday here and received a lovely welcome with flowers from the owner who was around if we needed anything

- Garth, January 2023
John November 2022

“Excellent property.”

We picked a bad week as it was constantly raining and windy, but nonetheless we made the most of it.. It was a bit cold in the lounge as it is such a big space. What kept it cold was that all the radiators throughout the house need bleeding as they were only warm at the bottom.

- John, November 2022
Stanley October 2022

“We were 4 couples of 'a certain age' and so have considerable experience of travel.”

We regularly get together on reunions as we were at colleges together some 55 years ago. The stay at the Barn was very successful and we all enjoyed ourselves greatly. The Piggery Pottery was enormous fun. There were, inevitably, the odd niggle such as the 'sharp kitchen knives' which weren't! This has been our experience just about every where we have stayed, however. Barbara was a perfect host and sorted all our queries. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

- Stanley, October 2022
Matthew August 2022

“We could not have been happier with our holiday.”

Fabulous location. Easy reach to loads of activities, beaches etc. Barbara was such a wonderful host too. Couldn’t really be more accommodating, nothing was too much trouble.

- Matthew, August 2022
Lindsay July 2022

“Great location.”

Owner lovely & friendly. Went out of her way to fit 8 children into the pottery. Small garden secure for dogs & ample parking Would definitely come again

- Lindsay, July 2022
Anthony June 2022

“This is a fantastic holiday home, very comfy beds, in a veey good location right next to the train that takes you up snowden mountain.”

The owner lived on site, and is very helpful and lovely.

- Anthony, June 2022
Eileen May 2022

“The owner was very helpful when we had a few mishaps.”

Especially with the log burner.I would warn visitors who rely on the Internet a lot, it was vey intermittent.The Pottery was lovely.A lovely addition if you have children.An ideal property for access to various National Trust and Beaches.

- Eileen, May 2022
Alan April 2022

“I can't speak any more highly of this accommodation ,and the warm welcome the owners gave to us.”

- Alan, April 2022
Susan November 2021

“We had a fantastic short break .”

The property was a lot larger than we expected. The owner was very,very helpful and generous. Gave us extra logs on request and the Piggery Pottery painting session was a fantastic experience enjoyed by all. Wed come back again. Thank you Barbara .

- Susan, November 2021
Alan November 2021

“A really nice property which is ideal for a large group.”

- Alan, November 2021
Richard November 2021

“Beautiful barn, in a peaceful area with a pub and shop within walking distance.”

Caernarfon is only 10 mins drive, Llanberis is only 5 mins away. As this is part of a working pottery, there is a wonderful shop selling Barbara's works of art, and allows you to paint a pot on the premises, or take 1 home to paint with the free paint kit. Everything in the barn was in great order, and the lit wood fire really made the evenings, even more special. I would like to thank Barbara for her help, and do really recommend this property for a true family get away. Thanks.

- Richard, November 2021
Philip November 2021

“Return visit to our favourite place.”

The owner is lovely and most helpful and we love meeting back up from time to time. Will be back for sure, just looking for an excuse to celebrate something else.

- Philip, November 2021
Jerry October 2021

“Excellent break for three couples held over from 2020 owing to Covid.”

Despite the rain we walked every day, visited the Slate Museum, had a trip on the Ffestiniog Railway and explored Llanberis, Caernarfon and beyond. A walk to the steak & quiz night in the local pub on Thursday was entertaining, as was the Curry in Llanberis on the first night - although in a very different way! All in all a very good week - many thanks for your hospitality.

- Jerry, October 2021
Debra September 2021

“Accommodation is good, well presented, ideal for a large family gathering and dog friendly.”

Barbara the owner , was at hand if we needed anything and came to our rescue ,providing us with a shower seat for our elderly mother .Things that would improve the property would be larger screen TVs, especially in main lounge area, a radio in the kitchen.

- Debra, September 2021
Graham August 2021

“Although the place met the description, there were failings.”

One of the two ovens did not work. The shower in the main bedroom leaked through to the utility room. The kitchen utensils were nearly useless and needed urgent replacement. We tried to contact the owner, but got no reply. Generally the place gave the impression of being grubby, and in need of a complete refresh. We would not go back unless these points were addressed.

- Graham, August 2021
Paul July 2021

“No very good all round”

- Paul, July 2021
Carol July 2021

“Great location, great scenery.”

Property well equipped. Barbara the owner was just lovely.

Susan September 2020

“The property was amazing.”

- Susan, September 2020
Simon September 2020

“Great cottage to stay in.”

The living room and kitchen are huge and would suit 1 large or 2 small families. 5 bedrooms with 3 doubles , 2 singles in another room and a room with 4 bunks. The area is fabulous but I would imagine in summer it would be too busy for some. Owner lives on site but leaves you alone. The barn is on a main road but you can't really hear the traffic. We took 2 dogs who loved it though we did have to drive a couple of miles for their morning walk but this was on the side of a lake ! Fabulous.

- Simon, September 2020
Ruth July 2020

“The owner, Barbara, was delightful and ready to help.”

The house is very spacious and perfect for a large family group. Particular care had been taken to comply with Covid-19 regulations and instructions were easy to follow. The pottery on-site was an added bonus on a wet day. We can also highly recommend Wavell's butchers/deli a short walk away in Llanrug - fresh bread for breakfast, local Bara Brith, amazing sausage rolls and pies and a fine meat counter.

- Ruth, July 2020
Christopher March 2020

“The cottage was awesome.”

Great value for money.

- Christopher, March 2020
Jo March 2020

“The break was to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends.”

The barn is lovely with a huge lounge and kitchen diner. It was a shame the logs were damp so couldn't get fire going for 3 nights. Looked for other logs but all outdoors in the wet.

- Jo, March 2020
Gary February 2020

“14 of us stayed at the barn over the weekend, it was really beautiful.”

plenty of space for everyone, the pottery to do next door is a really good idea especially if you have children with you! would definitely recommend staying if you have a large family.

- Gary, February 2020
Stephanie November 2019

“Came here to stay for my boyfriend surprise 30th birthday with a party of 14 people, 3 dogs and a young infant.”

Property was bigger than the pictures gave credit for, the whole place was very clean and ideal for what we needed for the weekend. Barbara was more than accommodating to us offering early and late check outs, and a late night session at the pottery if we wished too. All bedrooms well equipped with en suite bathrooms, lounge was plenty big enough for party games and as a communal area for guests. Went for a lovely 3 hour walk round Llanberis lake which was only a mile away from the house and other attractions close by too. All in all a fantastic stay, welcoming and friendly owner, would recommend highly for birthdays and family gatherings for a weekend or longer escape to the country. 10/10! :)

- Stephanie, November 2019
Paula October 2019

“We had a lovely weekend in the barn .”

Christine September 2019

“Five couples, friends for 40 years, spent a holiday at Ddol Helyg Barn.”

We appreciated an en-suite to each bedroom, the spacious sitting and kitchen areas. We were very comfortable, the stove warmed up the house and us quickly after a wet day in the mountains! There is plenty to do in the area and we received a warm welcome from Barbara. An excellent base for a Snowdonia holiday!

- Christine, September 2019
Alejandra August 2019

“The cottage was perfect for our group as it has a couple of rooms on the ground floor, they were all very independent, they have one for a family and all have en-suites!”

the area is great for all the touristic things in Snowdonia and a short walk to shops and a local pub. excellent place for a large group! a hen do arrived the night before we left but didn’t make much noise, though this would put some people off.

- Alejandra, August 2019
Beth August 2019

“We had a very warm welcome from Barbara who was eager to make our holiday enjoyable and was at hand to answer any questions throughout the week.”

The barn was ideal for a large group which spanned three generations (including young children, a baby and 2 dogs), We had everything we needed in the very well-equipped kitchen and the small enclosed garden was great for the dogs and had a washing line with pegs. All the rooms (including the bedrooms) were spacious and comfortable. There was enough seating (including a high-chair) in the kitchen to enable our large group to dine together and five comfortable sofas in the living room. We had a very enjoyable week!

- Beth, August 2019
Evelyn June 2019

“Great location with everything you need on your doorstep.”

- Evelyn, June 2019
Pamela May 2019

“Beautiful barn, in beautiful surroundings.”

Really clean & comfortable. Nice welcome from the owner,who gave us information on where to eat locally. Would certainly recommend this stay to anyone & will book again . 13 of us aged from 30-50+ stayed for my daughters 40th celebrations & everyone had a fabulous time .

- Pamela, May 2019
Leigh March 2019

“As a group of ladies who regularly meet up to do outdoor activities together, we have used a number of different facilities over the last few years.”

We ALL agreed that this was the best ever!! The barn is beautiful and very well appointed. It has all mod cons and is spotless. Such a luxury to have en-suite in every room( the lucky people with the Jacuzzi bath were very impressed!) Plenty of lounge space to all sit comfortably and a well appointed kitchen with a great table for shared meals. Our hostess was really kind, leaving us cakes and milk for when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved the pot painting session that we did on Saturday night ...with our wine!! We don't make a habit of returning to the same place twice, but this time will be an exception ....it's just too nice not to do again! Very many thanks.

- Leigh, March 2019
Cheryl March 2019

“As much as this is a stunning house, the cleanliness far out weight it for me.”

Bathrooms were very dirty and we has to sweep up the whole of down stairs the day we Got there. also, the bed were a nightmare Even putting 2 mattresses on top of eachother felt like laying on rocks, not comfortable at all. Nearly £600 for the 3 nights, not worth it at all.

- Cheryl, March 2019

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that you felt the cleanliness of the property was lacking, the house has just had a full professional deep clean two days before check in to get ready for the new season. We take on board your comments regarding the mattresses, though this can be subjective and hasn't been mentioned previously. Thank you for saying we have a stunning property and we hope you managed to enjoy your stay. Property Owner

A great venue for a family gathering. Would return without hesitation .

- Michael, January 2019
Teresa August 2018

“The spacious house enabled the family to have quality time together but our own space too .”

It is in a wonderful part of beautiful Wales . Not too far for driving to lagoons, Snowdonia, Caernafon. The Electric Mountain visit was amazing . Our hostess and host were extremely helpful , attentive when needed and we ran out of time for all the things we could have done including the Piggery Pottery . We had coffee and a quick visit on the morning we left but it is worth going to !

- Teresa, August 2018
Sarah March 2018

“Fabulous place.”

This was our second time visiting the barn and will be going back again! Barbara the lady that looks after you cannot do enough for you while you are there, the rooms are fantastic and obviously the location is perfect! The only negative thing I could say is some of the sofas are getting ready to be replaced but that would really be looking for something. Fab place and fab host! Thanks Barbara we will be seeing you again!

- Sarah, March 2018
Peter December 2017

“We have stayed at this cottage before about 5 years ago when it was relatively new.”

There are a couple of minor issues with the showers - some regrouting needed.We found the control of water temperature erratic in the shower in room number 1. There are not enough glasses for the capacity of 14 although there is plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment. It is a great space for large parties and having ensuite rooms a bonus. Wood burner warmed main sitting room, plentiful supply of logs. Everyone loved Piggery Pottery and came away with souvenirs of their stay. With a little t l c this house could be wonderful again. Represents good value for money for large parties.

- Peter, December 2017
Anthony November 2017

“Due to the location of this property, many people arrive at night.”

The signage and driveway to the barn isn't lit up at all which makes finding it at night very difficult. I also take a dog with me as this property is pet friendly. I take the dog for walks late at night and early in the morning, and with the driveway not lit up, it makes walking quite difficult. The property is absolutely splendid and kept to a reasonably high standard, if I was to complain it would be the heating of the bedrooms and water isn't good. But I've stayed here before and knew what to expect. The owner Barbara is a very pleasant lady who wants to make sure you have a good stay. I have stayed at this property twice and would do so again. Which speaks volumes.

- Anthony, November 2017
Janet November 2017

“Fantastic holiday home, was perfect for a group of 4 families to get together to celebrate a birthday, Barbara the owner was very helpful and the kids enjoyed painting a pot in piggery pottery.”

Fabulous area and the local pub is great and serves good pub grub at reasonable prices (portions are large though!!). All in all a great weekend was had and I would definitely recommend & visit again.

- Janet, November 2017

“Beautiful accommodation, excellent standard, much better than expected”

- Marion, December 2016
Elaine November 2016

“The whole family had a fabulous time.”

The owner and proprietor of the pottery next door was lovely and very accommodating. Beautiful spacious house with breathtaking views. Only downside if it can be counted as such is the lack of a family bathroom. We slept on the futon in the lounge as our whole party was adults requiring their own room so in the night it was tricky as there was no bathroom that isn't through someone elses bedroom. Other than that minor point 10/10

- Elaine, November 2016
Vanessa October 2016

“The owner Barbara was wonderful.”

Many thanks for the treats left for us. It didn't take the children long to demolish them. Lovely area to visit down by the lakes walking the dogs and watching the world go by very relaxing. The Welsh Slate mines is definitely worth a visit.Plenty to do and see. We were fortunate to see "The weeping window of Poppies" at Canearfon Castle very moving. Overall we had a lovely holiday in an area of great beauty. Would love to go again and the bonus of such a large property ideal for large and extended families. We also found the local pub for food, another hidden gem.

- Vanessa, October 2016

The space, light and layout lends itself well to family living. The owner and potter, was extremely helpful and we had many happy hours in the workshop and enjoyed the personal tour. It's location is a great launch pad to other locations with just a short journey to the coast or mountains. Having the option of creative recreation and refreshment on site makes this a unique option, one we would choose again!

Very comfortable for 14 adults; plenty of space.

About the location

LLANRUG

Llanberis 2 miles; Caernarfon 4 miles; Betws-y-Coed 15 miles.

Llanrug is a small village with two pubs, two shops, a Post Office, a hotel with indoor swimming pool and fitness room, and a 9 hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, only 3 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 Llanrug, 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.
