The comfort of the cottage is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds extremely comfortable and the living spaces cosy. The presence of multiple lounges and a well-maintained garden adds to the comfort level.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and utility area. However, some guests mention minor issues such as headroom in certain areas and the steepness of stairs, which slightly affects the score.
While many reviews express gratitude for the owner's helpfulness and the well-thought-out amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
An immaculately-presented quality cottage which is located in the heart of the pretty village of Llangynog in the Tanat Valley. The village sits at the foot of the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass, in the heart of the Berwyn Mountains in Powys. Full of character, this lovely stone-built cottage has a spacious entrance hall which leads into one of two cosy sitting rooms with comfy sofas and a woodburning stove in each. The large and well-equipped breakfast kitchen is perfect for families and friends to gather together around the country style dining table. A utility room with a useful drying rack leads out into the pretty side garden which provides a sunny spot to sit back and relax. The second, larger sitting room also has a warming woodburning stove set within the feature fireplace, perfect for snuggling up on cool evenings. Up the steep stairs are two lovely double bedrooms and a twin room all with en-suite facilities. The cottage is in a superb location for walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers and climbers, with an excellent mountain bike facility on the doorstep. Nearby Rhaeadr Waterfall has the highest single drop waterfall in the UK and is well worth a visit. Within easy reach is the town of Llangollen with its steam railway and stunning canal, Oswestry and the medieval market town of Shrewsbury. A trip to Bala or further afield to the city of Chester can easily be enjoyed from this lovely cottage or Barmouth on the west coast of Snowdonia.

Plenty of room for a family and pets. Everything you need is there but remember there is no shops in the village. Loved my stay.

Immaculately clean with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The garden is beautifully kept, and the bird feeders just outside the kitchen window which were freshly stocked when we arrived were a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable, luxury stay in Wales.
