“The property and setting were beautiful and we had a lovely week.”

The twin room has wires exposed on the ceiling rose and the little light by the dressing table did not work. I think possibly the temperature of the hot water should be turned down because we burned ourselves on both the water and the tap. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Clare, August 2024

Thanks for the feedback and glad that you had a good week at the cottage. We have replaced the cover on the light fitting in the bedroom (where you said the wires were exposed) and also the bulb. The cottage has an Electrical Installation Certificate. We have turned down the water temperature in the cottage. Thanks Teleri Property Owner

“The cottage was beautifully presented and loved the activity on the working farm.”

We enjoyed the extra touches - the milk, cake, magazine, family games. Most things were clean and tidy and well presented. However, the kettle was dirty inside, the stair gate was broken which wasn’t an issue for us due to a well behaved dog and older children but had our kids been younger this would have presented an issue for us. We also struggled with locking the front door and on several occasions came back to find it unlocked and were confused as to why as we thought we’d locked it. I also thought the listing should mention that the nearest town/village is actually a 15-20 minute drive along an almost single track road. This wasn’t made clear.

- Jennifer, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the property and the farm surroundings. It is a shame that you didn't contact me during your stay as we pride ourselves on ensuring that all of our guests have a great stay with us and if there are any issues at all we are always on hand to assist our guests We have checked the relatively new kettle and it does have with some scaling marks on the base - but it is very clean. We have checked the front door quite a few times and we cant find anything wrong with it, however the stair-gate did need adjusting which has now been done. The property listing does mention that our property is tucked away in the quiet hamlet of Nebo, which is part of its charm. The road to and from the cottage is a B road and is not a single track road. Thanks Teleri Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage.”

We had a lovely stay with our relatives from Australia. Plenty of room for everyone and plenty of seating in the lounge. Lovely peaceful, quiet spot. Would definitely stay here again.

“Fantastic cottage!”

Situated in a stunning setting, this cottage exceeded expectations. There were 6 of us in 3 bedrooms and we all fitted comfortably with plenty of room to spread out. The living room with wood burning stove is so cosy at night and has great views of the rolling countryside with wonderfully comfortable sofa's to relax in at the end of a day of exploring. The photo's don't do justice to this lovely property.

“Orsedd Wen Cottage.”

I would recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet break, beautiful surroundings yet not far from Snowdonia National park and the popular tourist areas. The cottage was very clean and homely enough to relax and enjoy as if still at home. Barra fruit cake that was left along with fresh milk, tea and coffee was a welcoming sight after a long drive. Facilities were just as described, very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. For a family of six and two dogs there was ample space. All in all a great place to spend a week exploring North Wales.

“Well kept cottage in a beautiful location.”

Recommended.

Bob July 2022

“Very nice cottage.”

Good facilities. Only 3 negative comments. Downstairs shower not good. Wifi not very good. Garden fence should be more secure as small dogs could get out and chase the sheep.

- Bob, July 2022

Thanks for the feedback. We have now made the fencing around the garden more secure. There is a new en suite shower room (please see new photos on website) and also much improved wifi. Thanks Teleri Property Owner
Nigel May 2022

“A really nice cottage in a beautiful location.”

As a family holiday base it was perfect. One thing to be aware of, although the garden is enclosed it is not secure so small dogs are able to get through into the sheep field, and the sheep were actually putting their heads through the fence into the garden, so you cannot let dogs in the garden unsupervised.

- Nigel, May 2022
Tracey May 2022

“My family really enjoyed our stay at Orsedd Wen.”

The farmhouse was perfect for us, 6 adults 1 child and 2 dogs, plenty of room for everyone. Thank you for the lovely welcome basket very much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this clean warm, cosy and very peaceful holiday home to other family members and friends.

- Tracey, May 2022

“A lovely, comfortable, clean property.”

We had a great week with no problems at all. The welcome pack was well received. Absolutely love that Bara Brith! Would definitely return, thank you!

“We had the most fantastic time.”

The welcome goodies were a lovely thought and well received after a long journey. The visitor guide was really helpful and informative. It not only provided information about things to do but it also gave information about the cottage itself and the amenities. The kitchen was really well equipped and it was lovely to have a decent amount of towels. The cottage was beautiful and well situated. The owner obviously takes great pride in the cottage and the service provided.

- Emma, February 2022

Oh thanks for the lovely feedback! Glad that you enjoyed your holiday. Thanks Teleri Property Owner
