“Very nice little cottage.”

I went at the start of December for a little weekend away to escape from the city for a while. This place helped me do that. There is no internet or TV which meant I was disconnected, and whilst my friends had signal of their phones I did not on mine, so I was able to totally disconnect. Was cold when we first arrived, however soon heated up with the radiators on and the log burner going.

I went at the start of December for a little weekend away to escape from the city for a while. This place helped me do that.

Was cold when we first arrived, however soon heated up with the radiators on and the log burner going. The near by high street is only a 5-10 minute walk and you can get all your essentials from Morrisons and Co-op, all the other local shops and takeaways are cash only but there are some cash machines in town. Overall I enjoyed my little get away, if your into the Zip wire activities there is one a 5 minute drive away and the others are further along the one A road, so easy access for anyone who wants a base camp for them too!

“This property was not clean ; it still had the previous occupants bedding and towels which had been used and were dirty the floors were also disgusting.”

You have to cross a railway line to get to the front door. Stay here at your peril!!

Unfortunately, the cleaner was not aware of this visit, and therefore did not clean before the guest arrived. This is of course very regrettable. As soon as I heard there was a problem, I arranged for a cleaner to come to the house immediately. However the guest decided to leave before I had a chance to fix the problem. I nevertheless issued a full refund. As a result of this unfortunate miscommunication with the cleaner, we have implemented a new system of email and text notification for every visit, so this sort of problem will not happen again. The cottage borders the Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam railway, which is a great asset which most visitors absolutely love. The garden is secure, so please don't let this put you off visiting. You can also access the house without using the pedestrian crossing if you prefer. Property Owner

“We stayed at this cottage for a week.”

. It was amazing.. This is our third visit to the area and we loved our stay in this cottage.. It has a log burner that made it feel really cosy and watching the steam trains on the narrow gauge railway chug past you at the bottom of the garden was great.. This cottage has not been over modernised so you get a real feel of an authentic quirky home.. The beds were very comfy with fluffy pillows and nice duvets... The large chest of draws on the landing was big enough for all your clothing needs... The kitchen is basic but the small fridge freezer is enough for a weeks stay.. There is a need for a few bit of kitchen equipment...a roasting tin, spatula, strainer spoon etc... But l know the owners say "it's a work in progress" and when it's done it's going to be ideal for family's, hikers and cyclists (there's a large space in the back corner of the living room to store bikes) We visited with our dog and the garden is secure enough to let them out for a good run around and sniff... I highly recommend this cottage.. We will be back next year..
