Over all very good experience and I would still recommend. Thank you Rebecca for sorting this out for me and also thanks you to the property owner who was also great to deal with.

“Excellent property in a lovely location.”

Very well equipped and comfortable for 10 people. Lots of places to visit within reasonable distance. Very accommodating, friendly host. We visited with four generations in our family and a great time was had by all. I would definitely recommend this property and would consider returning in the future.

“We have just returned from an amazing week staying in this superb house.”

It was one of the very best houses we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in several over the years. It was perfect for our 3-generational family holiday - with 8 of us ranging from 8 - 78! When we arrived we discovered not only milk in the fridge but also a tin of home-made cream cakes for each of us, which was such a lovely welcome. We met Dilys who made sure we were comfortable and that we could contact her if we needed to, which was helpful. The house was immaculately clean, the beds were really comfortable and the kitchen-diner and lounge were perfect, with a very well equipped kitchen, large fridge-freezer, lovely long wooden dining table and 3 very comfortable settees in the lounge. The addition of a pool table in the converted garage and a 'snug' was much appreciated. The outside area had two sets of tables and chairs, which were ideal for chilling out in the lovely warm weather. We really can't praise the house highly enough and are very grateful for Dilys' thoughtfulness in ensuring the house was really well equipped and arranged, so that guests can enjoy a really relaxing holiday. We loved the location too - all we could see were country lanes, fields, sheep and cows, which was ideal for us urban dwellers! There were lovely, easy walks from the house, which the children enjoyed as well as the adults and Llanwrst is within very easy reach. We found a great cafe on the sqare, a super deli selling delicious Welsh cheese, beer etc. and playing fields near the river. The house is ideally situated for trips out to Conway, Llandudno, etc etc too. We all had a wonderful holiday and would love to go back to this super house. Thank you, Dilys!

“Beautiful cottage in rural location with stunning countryside views.”

The property is spacious in all room layouts, and very well equipped, including games facilities for all the family. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and I would highly recommend this cottage to anybody looking for a holiday in this area.

- James, May 2023
Sean December 2022

“Fantastic stay over the new year in this cottage, normally stay on the Bodnant Estate but this place was a great change and not far!”

There was also chocolates and Prosecco left for us too which was a nice.

- Sean, December 2022
Kathryn June 2022

“Absolutely fabulous cottage with everything that we needed.”

Dilys’ home made cup cakes on arrival were a real treat too! No problem with Wi-Fi, which meant for happy kids. We will definitely be booking again.

- Kathryn, June 2022
Diana April 2022

“A beautiful house, very spacious and beautifully furnished.”

The view over rolling hills is stunning. The interior of the house is light and modern. We loved staying there and my grandsons thought the pool table was wonderful. Close to Conwy and Llandudno as well as a variety of adventure parks. Absolutely first class. The wifi was patchy one day and the owner came very quickly to sort it out - very friendly lady.

- Diana, April 2022

“Amazing cottage, away from city with superb views.”

Craig September 2020

“Great place for a getaway.”

This cottage was great with all rooms more than a generous size. Wifi all but didn’t work though and no signal on phones due to location which in our case was great. Definitely recommend this place

- Craig, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are delighted that you had a wonderful time away at Ochr Y Garth, however, we are sorry to hear about the intermittent Wi-Fi at the accommodation during your stay. We have looked into this matter and now Ochr Y Garth has its own Wi-Fi facilities where the speed and sufficiency has now improved significantly. We hope to see you here again very soon.

“Really nice big house well equipped and cosy.”

Pj October 2019

“I really enjoyed the house and the hospitality was brilliant.”

A treat left for us really topped it off. I would hope to have this house booked again in the future

Louise August 2019

“This is a beautiful property and we had a fantastic time.”

Cannot fault the house or location. Very comfortable and the pictures do not so this place justice. We would definitely return to this property but it was just a bit far out for us as we prefer to be more central. Things you need to be aware of - this place is very remote and to access you have to navigate single lane country roads. We did not have any phone signal at all. Our only means of communication with the outside world was WiFi which didn’t work for the first three days. However we reported to the host and this was fixed within three days. Brilliant place - highly recommend - consider how remote it is but tbh once the WiFi was fixed we loved it!

- Louise, August 2019
Susan April 2019

“We had a super week - all eight of us, aged from 6 to 66 years old.”

The cottage was spacious and comfortable and had every amenity we could have wished for. The views were wonderful and we were even able to watch baby lambs being born in the field beside us. Fabulous!! The cottage is secluded and private but is perfectly located for all the holiday resorts and sights in Northern Wales and near enough to the local town to be able to nip to the chip shop when we came back in the evening too tired to start cooking. What more could we have asked for??

- Susan, April 2019
Amy April 2019

“Wonderful stay at the cottage!”

The photos do not do this place justice. Very clean and well presented and in an quiet location. Perfect for climbing Snowdon! Only issues we had were with the WiFi, we couldn't connect, and make sure you space showers out so the hot water doesn't run out!

- Amy, April 2019
Muhammad Yasin March 2019

“Firstly, thanks for the welcome gift!”

They were delicious. We had a fantastic time from start to finish. The lodge itself exceeded our expectations. The pictures online DO NOT do this place justice! It was a great get together with our friends and we will have no hesitation in booking again in the future. Thank you

- Muhammad Yasin, March 2019

The property

This spacious five bedroom cottage is situated in a beautiful rural location amidst countryside views, a memorable place to visit with 10 guests.

Perfect for families or friends, Ochor Yr Garth is a contemporary dormer-style bungalow, refurbished to a high standard with a collection of beautiful rooms positioned over two levels.

The interior comprises a granite kitchen/diner with its own breakfast bar and seating for everyone to gather together in the evening.

You will look forward to cosying up in the sitting room as the sun goes down, a lovely place to unwind with sumptuous sofas, an electric flame-effect fire and patio doors that welcome the outside in.

On the ground floor you will also discover three bedrooms including two doubles, and a twin, each thoughtfully presented with oak furniture, pleasant views, joined by a family wet room style shower suite.

Continue through the utility area and a room reveals a pool table, great for some family time, whilst a separate snug is ideal for a relaxing hour or two.

The upper floor is equally as fabulous, presenting two additional bedrooms which are tucked away beneath sloping ceilings and Velux windows which bring you closer to the location morning and night.

A beautiful family bathroom finishes the interior, boasting a Jacuzzi bath, and a walk-in shower, luxuriously setting the scene for a warm soak before a good night's sleep.

What better way to start your mornings than by taking a warm cup of tea out to the patio area, where you will be well-placed for the remarkable scenery.
