The good points to this cottage are the area around is a stunning place to stay even over the Christmas period there are things to see and enjoy and places to visit too and people are friendly.
The cottage is very quaint but had ample space for two people and a furry friend to relax in. It contained everything you would need on your stay and if you are worried that it would be cold there over the winter months there is plenty of heating and hot water available all the time. The WiFi was great and the smart TV was perfect. The negatives for us were on first appearance the cottage seemed very clean but unfortunately on closer inspection some areas of concern was the mice droppings in the kitchen area by the toaster which we decided not to use and by the bins and over the flooring generally by the skirting boards. So we had to put all our food etc into the plate cupboard as there wasn't really anywhere else to store it as the shelves were open style and not ideal to leave any food that could be nibbles at on nor the work tops. As it was Xmas time we had brought along extra treats of biscuits, choccies, nuts and crackers and other nibbles and we didn't want to find any nibbling into them so everything had to be stored away. Unfortunately it meant the first couple of hours were spent cleaning and disinfecting all the work surfaces and brushing up. Also the kitchen floor looked clean but when wiping up a drop of water the paper towel that wiped up the splash of water was really dirty and we had only been in the cottage a couple of hours. And we wore our slippers as requested by the owners and no outdoor shoes. So couldn't understand why the foot was dirty. And unfortunately the shower had someone's black body hair in places and it was the same around the sink also black hair and not really clean which was not nice to see at anytime never mind on our first day. The bedding and pillows and the towels were very clean and smelled really fresh. The sofa wasn't the comfiest to sit on for long periods and as the weather wasn't too good and I had a broken foot we stayed indoors a lot longer than we would normally do so we probably noticed it more as we say on it for longer periods. And it could have done with a couple more plump cushions to lean on ( but that's just an us thing) And the final negative has to be the bed itself....the mattress was the most uncomfortable thing to sleep on as you sank right into it....literally and not in a good way it seemed to sink in the more in the middle you got so kept waking up with more aches as each night passed and the mattress was lower than the frame of the bed so you had to juggle to get onto the mattress without sitting on the frame as you got into bed which was odd. We personally feel that the mattress needs to be replaced or even to put a firmer topper on the mattress at least an option of one. And for these reasons we wouldn't likely return for another stay. Also to note that it is very wet and slippery getting up and around on foot to the cottage and the steps upto the side of the cottage and our onto the field at the rear are very slimy and slippery and we had to put the out door chairs and table against them so our dog wouldn't climb up them and the paving right outside the front door was very slippy too. We are sure this is just a winter time hazard but we think it needs customers to be made aware of if visiting over the damper months.

The cottage is well equipped and in a prime location to explore Snowdonia National Park.
We had a comfortable stay there. Thank you. However there are a few areas that could be improved on. Our first thoughts on arriving at the cottage were that it could do with a decent spring clean- there were extensive cobwebs gathering dust in all rooms of the house. The shower tray had hairs in the corner, had some mould on the shower panels and there were hair on the floor under the towel rail. The oven was grubby inside and the grill tray had old fat dripping from the grill rack- it is obvious it had not been cleaned between lettings. On going to use the cheese grater it was used and not cleaned between use. The fridge drawers/shelves were grubby too with crumbs and an old garlic clove remaining. If the standard of cleaning was improved, we would improve our stay rating to 5/5. Aside from these initial thoughts we soon found ourselves at home. The heating system was effective. The house was always warm and hot water was available for showering when required. It is a lovely cosy cottage. To help with some queries we had, it would be beneficial to have a small welcome pack. Such a pack could provide information about how to dispose of waste- what days to put out the bin etc, how to turn off the heating if too hot- we turned down the radiator thermostats. We did not find a room thermstat. Details about the local amentities eg Pub/shop in the village would help some visitors too. Thankfully, there was a very helpful neighbour who helped us with key info about waste collection, as it was obvious all waste had been placed in a general waste bin by previous letters. None the less, we had a comfortable enjoyable stay in this lovely cottage. Additionally, we had some issues with battery charged smoke detector (mounted in the stair well). It kept going off randomly for no obvious course eg overnight. ? if it needs a new battery. We could not find any batteries to replace with. There was a drawer with random old batteries in but none appropriate to use. Inaccuracies in listing: No CD/Radio- not required by us No fuel/starter pack for Multi fuel stove- would have been nice to have No bike storage- unless the gas bottle storage is proposed No BBQ- not required at this time of year but listed

Lovely stay at this cosy house.
The owner was responsive to initial enquiries and also throughout our stay. The property is in a fairly rural location but just a short drive from Betws-Y-Coed and surrounding areas. The access, which someone else mentioned in a previous review, was a bit bumpy and difficult for our campervan but we managed it and on the last day of our stay the owner was doing lane maintenance so future guests shouldnât have a problem. The house itself is very cute, with a games room and a spacious living room. It is obviously an old property which comes with its share of quirks and issues, but nothing which detracted from our experience. We had a fire going every evening which kept the place cosy, and the blankets and quilts provided meant we were very warm in the night. The bathrooms were spotless, the showers hot and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and all the utensils you might need. Some constructive criticisms: the second shower (over the bath) should have a shower curtain as you can easily flood the place when using it! The bottom right hob switches itself on continuously even when not in use (as soon as you flip the power switch for the oven and cooker) which is dangerous so should be looked into. The living room fire has quite a small fireguard around it and on one evening sparks flew over the top onto the carpet. We put them out straight away but we were concerned what would have happened if the dog had been lying there. I would suggest putting a higher one in place. Finally, the towels provided - although lovely and soft - were all the same colour and after about 2 days of hanging them on the towel rails to dry we were all mixing them up! I would recommend getting different colours or embroidered towels to help with this. Overall the four of us and our dog really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend staying here and would happily stay again if we were in the area. Thank you Jane for a lovely week!

We loved our stay in Penmachno.
It is a tiny village an easy 10 minute drive from the hub of Betws y Coed. The cottage itself was plenty big enough for our family of 4 plus a dog. It was beautifully clean on arrival. The wood burner was lovely and cozy in the evenings. The view from the back garden is stunning. The kitchen had plenty of utensils. All towels and bedding included. There are lots of books, some DVDs and a couple of games but they had bits missing so the kids couldn't enjoy them. We knew there was no Wifi, we managed to get a tiny bit of 4g network in the large bedroom. No hairdryer. Would recommend Hanging pizzeria in Betws for food. We would recommend some of the walks from Gwydir forest....lots of beautiful, clearly marked walks (about 10 min drive). If you fancy a wild swim then you have to walk to the waterfalls on Watkin Path (about 40 min drive). We had to figure out a couple of things as there were no guidance notes in the cottage. The rubbish seems to be collected on Mondays and we had to put the rubbish out on Sunday from the previous residents as the bins were fairly full when we arrived. We figured out the recycling. You can turn on the heating on the boiler in the kitchen if needed by moving the switch to "on". There is no washing machine in the property! For anyone who travels with children they will understand how annoying this was....especially when the listing stated that there was a washing machine. This needs to be made clear to future visitors. All in all a fabulous stay. We liased with the cleaner Lisa who was really helpful with any questions regarding arrival, departure etc.

Had an absolutely lovely 2 weeks up at Gelli Bach.
It was a really lovely and peaceful place to stay. As we are long-distance hikers, the location was perfect, with fantastic walks straight from your doorstep. Our dog loved it, too! I think the other negative reviews about the distance of the walk-up to the property are a little unfair as it's not that far! (You probably walk further from your car into Tesco's!) Our only 'personal' criticism is how close Gelli Bach actually is to the main house. However!!! On our visit, it was empty, so there was no drama! Worth checking, though, before booking if you're after a secluded retreat. Also, I think the 'drying room' is a work in progress! After hiking mountains in the Welsh winter weather, that room isn't drying anything, making it a little awkward when you don't want outdoor gear within the Gelli Bach, which we respect. Thank you for a lovely holiday and the cosy accommodation. P.s. The Welsh cakes and wine were also a nice touch!
