“I enjoyed a really great holiday in this cottage.”

It was comfortable, clean and tidy, perfect for my needs. I liked sitting in front of the fire stove while reading, and a good view from the deck on days without rain. I will come back to beddgelert again and will stay in the same cottage.

“Absolutely beautiful little cottage, comfortable and warm and close to all amenities.”

Would definitely recommend.

“The property is a good location with on street parking & has all the basics you need but is in need of some TLC and a good clean.”

I had to remove dog poo from the back garden area on arrival, the back door in particular was very dirty & splattered with mud inside, the 2 chairs in the living room werent very clean & there were cobwebs throughout. The bedrooms were comfortable & nicely furnished with plenty of storage. The front door locks need attention as the door doesn't feel very secure. The guttering needs attention too, as when it rains, there's a constant loud drip onto the shelter outside the back door. The rear garden area is pleasant but very steep & slippy when wet. Not currently value for money & definitely in need of a spruce up.

“The property was mostly clean and well provided with all the pots, pans etc we could need.”

All in all a lovely cottage and one that we’d be happy to stay in again. The only reasons for not giving the property full marks were finding a big dog poo on the decking at the back of the house and the shower screen was broken. Although not a huge issue, it was surprising that while the welcome pack said that they would provide enough wood for a fire on the first night, the wood burner had paper and kindling to light a fire along with bigger half burned logs which lasted less than 10 minutes. Not a big issue but it did seem slightly tight!

“N a nutshell, adequate, but wouldn't book again unless serious improvements were made.”

We knew from previous reviews that the front door had issues - key code lock worked fine but provided no way of 'locking' the door once inside. Although only someone with the code could enter, the door could do with a bolt lock for added security and the key code lock being towards the top of the door meant the bottom of the door had a lot of play in it and nothing holding it in place. Living room although nice enough was not a comfortable place to relax in the evening. Both armchairs were incredibly uncomfortable and sofa too tiny for more than one person to enjoy. Tried to light a fire but the chimney had obviously not been swept as it wouldn't stay alight longer than a few minutes and the smoke wasn't being pulled up at all (and we have a fire ourselves so know how light one) - wasted money on logs. Kitchen was well equipped and even had a small countertop dishwasher which was handy - everything you could need. The walls however had obvious damp issues, the worktop around the sink has seen better days to say the least and the radiator was rusting where the paint has peeled off. The garden has lovely views of the mountains and would provide a nice place to sit, but the steps are treacherous and even had loose slabs on the edges of the steps towards the top. They were also green which made them slippery when wet - some serious TLC needed and wouldn't currently be appropriate for children or anyone even slightly unstable on their feet. Upstairs, both bedrooms were a decent size and the beds comfortable - ample storage space too which is always a bonus. The bathroom however was also in need of some TLC. The shower screen had black mould along the rubber seal and parts of the screen were falling apart. Paint was peeling off the wall due to more obvious damp issues. The bath also didn't drain well at all, meaning you were showering in inches of water and the tub ended up getting really slippery even when using the provided shower mat. There were cobwebs in the corners of the ceilings in almost every room and the level of cleanliness/upkeep was just not what we would expect. I'm not one to usually write reviews, especially ones that are not positive, but felt like sharing our experience was necessary in this case. There are a few poor reviews for this property and I wish we'd taken them more seriously before booking.

“Great location.”

Very close to the village. Short distance to all the peaks - Snowdonia, Cnicht and Cwm Idwal etc

“We would not book this property again unless sykes could guarantee that the faulty door lock had been repaired as our holiday was ruined by the stress of not knowing wether we would be able to get in again after days out!”

The property itself was in need of a lot of TLC ! ( stains on walls from previous dampness issues in a few places) uncomfortable living room seating and garden needed a thorough clean and tidy up!

“The bed was comfortable but the seating downstairs wasn’t great The shower was poor The outdoor area is a great asset and lovely to sit and have breakfast when it was sunny with the wonderful view but it felt unloved.”

There was rubbish about and it wasn’t swept, it could be much better We did enjoy our stay on the whole

The property

5 Gwynant Street, a delightful stone cottage, settled within the bustling North Wales village of Beddgelert, in the heart of Snowdonia National Park.

Boasting incredible mountain views from its elevated terrace garden, this property is ideal for a couple or small family who want nothing more than to explore the magnificent national park and take advantage of the plethora of walking opportunities that surround the property.

Make your way inside to discover a charming living/dining room, offering a mix of traditional and contemporary features, with slate tiled flooring and wooden beams, complimented by a leather sofa and Smart TV, so you can spend evenings snuggled up together enjoying a film as the warmth of the woodburning stove creates a cosy ambiance.

The dining table provides a spot to enjoy meals together, lovingly prepared in the compact but well-equipped kitchen, that stands just three steps up from the dining area and looks out onto the rear of the property.

Head outside through the stable door and up a set of steps to find the first of two terraces, while the impressive sun trap decking area rests above both and offers a seating area where you can kick back with a morning coffee and soak up the incredible mountain view whilst enjoying the tranquil sounds of wildlife inhabiting the private land that sits just behind.

Back inside the property, make your way up the staircase to find the double bedroom, where you can catch up on rest and enjoy the distant mountain view from the sash window.

A further three steps up lead to an immaculate twin bedroom that overlooks the garden and would be ideal for children, while both bedrooms are served by an all-white family bathroom suite.

The village of Beddgelert boasts an impressive selection of shops for picking up any essential items, as well as gift shops, arts and crafts stores and ice cream parlours, plus a range of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and cafés, all idyllically situated beside the Afon Glaslyn.

Take a stroll beside the river towards the National Trust's Aberglaslyn Nature Reserve and Aberglaslyn Pass, a stunning gorge thought to be one of the best beauty spots in North Wales.

Be sure to pay a visit to Gelert's Grave, a statue and tombstone of the loyal hound of Prince Llewelyn the Great, which is very much the centrepiece of the village.

Take advantage of your location at the foot of Mount Snowdon, Wales' highest peak, to embark upon a plethora of walking trails, including Watkin Path, the National Trust's Craflwyn and Beddgelert and the hiking area of Dinas Emrys, while a hike up Snowdon itself provides the ultimate challenge, along with the reward of breath-taking views from its summit.

There are plenty of opportunities for cycling and mountain biking, should you prefer to explore your setting on two wheels, while the Welsh Highland Steam Railway allows you to enjoy the view from the comfort of a steam train, making its way through the centre of the village on its journey between Porthmadog and the royal town of Caernarfon, where you will find an impressive 13th century medieval castle resting on the waterfront.

Just a short distance from Caernarfon is the Iron Age settlement of Dinas Dinlle, where you can spend a fantastic day beside the sea at its impressive Blue Flag-awarded beach.

The Llyn Peninsula AONB is within driving distance and is a haven for walkers, wildlife lovers and watersports enthusiasts alike, who flock to this haven of natural beauty to be wowed by long stretches of coastline, rolling countryside and impressive Iron Age forts.

5 Gwynant Street is an incredible base for exploring the coast and countryside of North Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
