“A nice, clean, well equipped property in a good location for attractions across North Wales.”

The grandchildren loved the games room and play house. Outdoor space was good and enclosed. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. As a bird watcher, looking out of the kitchen window and seeing buzzards and red kites flying over the trees across the road was a bonus. Nice views from the first floor lounge, despite the weather! Would happily stay there again.

“A lovely property with lots of home comforts.”

Spacious accommodation and and games for the children. Peaceful location but definitely need a car. We are a multi generational family and all of us enjoyed our stay. Thank you to our host who set up the tvs for us when we struggled.

“My family group really appreciated the homeliness and comfort of this very well-equipped house.”

The outside space is well designed with a range of different seating options. The adults really enjoyed the hot tub! The location is stunning with glorious country views, yet within very easy reach of Conwy and Llandudno. We had a great time at Preswylfa!

“The holiday cottage was amazing.”

It was clean and comfortable and had everything you needed. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and on hand for any queries. We had an issue with the heating and hot water on one evening and it was rectified the next day. The cottage is in a beautiful spot with amazing views, and had a very friendly peacock who visited in the evenings.

“Preswylfa is an enormously comfortable and convenient house in the gorgeous Welsh countryside - close to both Snowdonia and the coast.”

For us, it was perfect, as we were a large family group enjoying a rare reunion and a visit to Conway Castle. The proprietors are very kind and gernerous-hearted people, who are to be thanked for making such a wonderful home available to the public to rent.

“A cosy and inviting place with more than enough great features.”

Loads of room. Both upstairs and downstairs lounges great for big family gathering. Hot tub treemendous - great size and always hot and bubbling. Good place for dogs too. Easy access to good pubs - by car- and very near to Conwy and Betws. Owners are very helpful and position means neighbours don't get troubled.

“The house is big with plenty of space.”

Kitchen and wet areas well supplied with all you need. Hot tub is great. However, routine maintenance and DIY repairs are not top of their list! The major problem for us was an infestation of flies which we had to deal with ourselves! Hundreds of flies entering the en-suite until we found where they were getting in and fixed it with no help from the owners except for 2 cans of flyspray. On the first night I saw flies gathered in the en-suite velux window so asked my son to open it to let the flies out - BIG mistake - when he opened it - hundreds of flies dropped on us and also entered the bedroom. It was like a horror movie! We didn't contact the owner because we know they were out celebrating a birthday but later when I did ask them to come and fill the hole in the ceiling where they were getting in, they left 2 cans of flyspray on the doorstep and said we should expect it in the country! We ended up taping over the hole in the ceiling. Every time, for 4 days out of 6, if I wanted to use the en-suite I had to vacuum up all the dead flies then spray fly killer as I left. Radiators needed bleeding - Pool table was broken - some door catches stick and trap youngsters in rooms - lounge sofa springs gone - thin towels - some beds hard. Not at all what you expect in such an expensive property. I complained and asked for a partial refund which was refused so I am now taking the matter to County Court. We will not be returning

“Preswylfa was absolutely perfect; the property exceeded our expectations.”

Location, comfort, cleanliness; the house had everything we needed to make our three night weekend away second to none…all 10 adults and two dogs were very happy indeed! The kind special touches left for our arrival were lovely, and very much appreciated; thank you Nicky ☺️

“Had a wonderful week here with the family.”

Definitely kid friendly and ideally located for exploring the North Wales area. Great communication with the owner too. Would definitely consider staying here again.

“What a beautiful place to spend a week with our family.”

We were welcomed with a lovely card from the owner and some tasty bread, biscuits, butter and milk, which were gratefully received. The house is in a beautiful area of Snowdonia within easy driving reach of Conwy and Llandudno. There are plenty of attractions in these towns for the children as well as further afield in Bangor and Anglesy. The house was well presented and very clean. It provided everything we needed with two very comfortable family areas and the bedrooms and bathrooms were great for our group of nine. The garden area was usefully split with the hot tub and barbecue areas fenced off. This helped with keeping the dogs segregated when required. We had a lovely holiday and would definitely recommend it to other larger groups. One small point; the bedrooms would benefit from a chest of drawers for non-hanging items. Thanks very much Nicky. We had a great time.
