“I loved the character of this cottage and I loved the garden!”
The location is beautiful! Would consider going here again.
We had a lovely stay in this cottage. It's on a beautiful country road, quite secluded, amazing scenary and tranquil garden. The road to the cottage is very narrow but we didnt have any problems with any on coming cars. The cottage is semi detached with a shared garden, but no problems with the other visitors. The beds were comfortable, the bed linen and towels were good quality, the kitchen facilities/equipment were great, the TV was large and modern and comfy armchairs to relax in.
The cottage is in a great location being in the Snowdonia countryside but also being close to villages and beaches. It is close to Harlech which is a lovely village with a big beautiful sandy beach and a castle.
During our stay we visited Harlech village and the castle, Harlech beach, the slate museum and the Snowden train in Llanberis, Betws-Y-Coed which has lots of shops and restaurants but remains a beautiful village setting, and went on a couple of lovely long walks; one in Bronaber and one in Betws-Y-Coed. Yet there are still so many forests, hills, lakes, castles and beaches to explore which we weren't able to fit in in a week! We would love to explore Snowdonia further and I would consider using this cottage again; it suited our needs as a family of 4 and I like the location in terms of accessing all the places we would like to visit.
Any room for improvement to the cottage?... regardless of the setting on the shower it doesn't come out as strong as we would've like it to. It was fine but we would've preferred a more powerful shower. To some extent the place could do with some fresh paint and the carpet being cleaned but it was fine and we had a lovely time, and I LOVED the character of the cottage. The narrow road may also not be for the more nervous driver, but as I said before, it wasn't an issue at any point coming and going from the cottage, just go slowly and be prepared that you may have to reverse to find a space to pull in (but we came up against another car only once or twice the whole week and the other drivers were considerate and patient). And the reality is most roads in Snowdonia which are off the main road are narrow so it kind of is what it is! We had a picnic bench outside in the garden which we used to eat dinner and play games out in the sunshine in the evening which was lovely but it would've been nice to have a couple of more comfortable chairs or loungers in the garden to sit outside and relax in, read a book and to soak up the scenery; if we come to this cottage again I'd bring camping chairs.
But these are little things, they didn't spoil our stay in this charming period cottage. We had a relaxing week and were sad to leave when the holiday was over.
Thanks for having us!
