Guests say
Rhydau Cottage is consistently praised for its high standards, with guests highlighting its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales. The property's modern amenities, cosy wood burner, and luxurious bathroom are frequently mentioned, alongside the warm welcome from the hosts. While some minor suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Guests frequently commend the cottage for its spotless presentation and cleanliness. There is, however, a single mention of finding crumbs and dust, which slightly impacts the otherwise perfect perception of cleanliness.
The cottage's location is lauded for its convenience to Snowdon and other attractions in North Wales, with easy access to both the mountains and coast. The proximity to a main road is noted, but does not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
Comfort is a strong point for the cottage, with guests finding the beds warm and soft, and the living areas cosy, especially with the wood burner. Some guests, however, found the dining chairs uncomfortable and suggested the addition of a non-slip mat in the shower for safety.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern kitchen appliances and a luxurious bathroom. However, guests have suggested that more crockery and a hairdryer would be beneficial, and there are comments about the outdoor seating area and the need for more guidance on local eateries.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with thoughtful touches like a wood burner and movement-sensitive lights, there is no specific mention of gifts provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category accurately.

The cottage has been designed and furnished to a really high standard. (We also managed to get the TV signal working after fiddling with the aerial cable in the back of the TV and retuning again just incase it happens to anyone else)
