“We had trouble getting the key box open we had to call for help.”

The instructions on getting the key were not clear enough. Very queaky doors to bedrooms and on suit bathroom.

“The cottage is clean, comfortable and warm plus it had everything we needed.”

It is also spacious and equipped with helpful information and games etc The owner was very helpful and informative. The cottage is situated in a very central position for all that Betwsy -y -Coed has to offer. there is a wide choice of eating places and shops (no chemist or bank) and many super walks. Very central for visiting all that Snowdonia has to offer.

“This was an excellant holiday stay.”

I have stayed in Betws-y-coed before, but this was the most relaxed way to do it !

“Had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage, it was very comfortable and well equipped kitchen, lovely en-suite with plenty of hot water It was in a central position to all the activities we wanted to do.”

However a couple of issues we found was that hand towels hadn’t been supplied in the twin bedded room and we found lots of long dark hairs on the back of a pillow and on the floors, the wardrobe floor in the main bedroom was quite dirty with dust. The outside areas at the side and back are getting very overgrown as is the path to the main road. The table and chairs are too dirty to actually sit on. I do hope these things can be addressed because we did generally have a lovely stay.

“It was a lovely welcoming cottage, very comfortable and Ideally situated in the village.”

Would of been useful to have a hairdryer there but that is the only fault if that's what you call it.

“Beautiful cottage with everything needed for a short break in a perfect location to explore Betws y Coed and Snowdonia”

“Lovely cottage , a great place to come back to after the days activities.”

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Well maintained. Well located for local facilities and great walks from the cottage. We had a great stay.

- Gareth, July 2023
Kevin July 2023

“The cottage was spotless and beautiful.”

It's in a great location and we had a lovely holiday, thank you. However, the listing mentioned bike storage and this was one of the reasons we chose this cottage. But the shed referred to is now full of logs and so there wasn't anywhere to store bikes. This needs to be amended in the description so others don't have the issue we had. But everything else was perfect!

Jean June 2023

“Great spot for exploring north Wales, especially Anglesey”

- Jean, June 2023
Anthony June 2023

“A well-equipped cottage.”

The turn-out from the drive onto the A5 is a bit hair-raising, but there's nothing that can be done about that.

- Anthony, June 2023
Stephen May 2023

“Fantastic cottage, our third stay, off of the main road so no vehicle noise, close to the town centre so easy access to everything.”

Highly recommended.

- Stephen, May 2023
Joanne April 2023

“Overall a very pleasant stay in a great location!”

The internet was quite hit and miss and the shower pressure in the bathroom with bath was poor. It would have been nice if we had some washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets provided and also bin bags - had to purchase these cleaning products unfortunately. Equipment, comfort and location were all spot on and I would recommend this cottage for a lovely stay in Betws y coed.

“My second stay at Tyn y Ffynnon and every bit as enjoyable as the first !”

“Could do with identifying access to the parking space or provide directions.”

Apologies if you have and I missed it

- Gary, February 2023
Bethany January 2023

“Lovely cottage, very comfy and cosy!”

The only thing I would say is that I think there may be either birds or a mouse or something in the loft as we could hear a lot of movement up there. Apart from that it was a beautiful stay

- Bethany, January 2023
Amy January 2023

“Lovely little bungalow, clean and well equipped.”

Heating in each room was a little inconsistent so took some getting used to. The bathroom light didn’t work when we arrived but was quickly rectified the next day. Very steep driveway and dangerous bend to pull out on so I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to stay alone. Might be good to mention on description. TV connection was terrible and kept cutting off and not reconnecting. Really beautiful bungalow and really well presented, just a couple of small things that would have made it absolutely perfect.

- Amy, January 2023
Lorraine December 2022

“Amazing location, lovely cottage, clean, homely and has had a kitchen upgrade and new double glazing since the photos were taken.”

Was really warm in a wet New Year and sadly didn't need to use the wood burner. The kitchen was really well stocked, as we did a New Year roast dinner and a great size fridge/freezer. Definitely would like return.

- Lorraine, December 2022
Russell August 2022

“Lovely cottage in a lovely setting, and we had a great time.”

The garden was nice and secluded to sit in (weather permitting) and the apple tree was a nice bonus at this time of year. Our kids now want to live there! Minor issues: The internet connection was rather flaky - intermittently very slow and dropping connections - I suggest you ask Plusnet to do a line test. Also, just personal preference, the memory foam mattress was rather soft and uncomfortable.

- Russell, August 2022
Christopher July 2022

“Great property.”

Great base to explore North Wales. Property was tricky to find at first. Some detailed instructions would have helped. Would highly recommend.

- Christopher, July 2022
Stephen June 2022

“Fantastic cottage, was a joy, good off road parking, have rebooked for November.”

Only gripe was that some builders turned up at 8am on our last day to do some work !!! Fortunately we were up and about.. apart from that fantastic.

- Stephen, June 2022
Shelagh May 2022

“It would benefit the rental if you could describe the parking area.”

It was in fact up a small slope right opposite The shop Trespass and the parking was at the back door access to the cottage, so it was very easy. The cottage was lovely with everything needed for your stay the kitchen was fully equipped. Betws y coed was a fantastic base to see all round North Wales. A Tip Book lunch at Castell Deudraeth and you get a free voucher to get into Portmeirion. North Wales is absolutely beautiful loved it and everyone was friendly and kind.

- Shelagh, May 2022
Michael March 2022

“Great location in beautiful Betws-y-Coed.”

Perfect base for the mountains. Convenient off-road parking. Attractive, cosy cottage. Well-equipped kitchen. Excellent wifi and central heating. Comfortable beds. Minor faults - sound system not working properly; outside could do with tidying up, especially to rear. Really enjoyed staying and hope to return.

- Michael, March 2022
Simon February 2022

“Lovely property, so clean, and nicely furnished.”

Very comfortable beds. Recommended for the easy stroll to a wide variety of places to eat. A nice feeling of isolation even with a 'main' road close to the property. I'd like to return given the opportunity. So happy with the week away in this lovely property

- Simon, February 2022
Karyn November 2021

“Perfect in town location and quiet due to the cottage being located up a hill in back of stores.”

Cottage parking is in back of the old stone church (also up a bit of a hill) just past St. Mary's church and the Royal Oak Hotel. The lane to get up to parking and the cottage is directly across from a store called Alpkit (post code LL24 0BW) if you can't see the Alpkit store sign look for the Tresspass store sign.

- Karyn, November 2021
Paul October 2021

“Once we found the property.”

.. very impressed with amenities and comfort. Great location for mountains and coast. Trains to Llandudno very cheap and takes less than hour. Will use again.

- Paul, October 2021
Alex October 2021

“Very nice shower and plenty of helpful equipment in the kitchen eg.”

dishwasher and dryer. Good location also. Would have preferred a more comfortable settee ie. more squishy although that’s my personal preference. Hard to relax on and too slippy.

- Alex, October 2021
Annabella August 2021

“Cottage is fully equipped with comfy bedding and soft towels.”

Betsy-y-coed is a lovely village with lots of nice restaurants and walks and very easy access to get around NorthWales. We had a lovely holiday. A little tricky to find……drive to the very top of the narrow, steep drive!
