Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, ample parking, and the responsiveness of the owner. The property's garden and open fire were highlights, contributing to a pleasant stay for families and large groups.
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including dust, grime, and a musty smell. Some guests felt the need to clean upon arrival. However, not all reviews were negative, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is frequently praised for its stunning views and proximity to walking routes. It is described as peaceful and well-situated for outdoor activities, although some guests noted it was hard to find without precise directions.
Guests found the cottage warm and comfortable, with a welcoming open fire and sufficient space. Some furniture was noted as 'well-worn' and beds received mixed reviews, suggesting room for improvement in comfort.
The property is well-equipped, with a good standard of appliances and ample hot water. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a leaking shower and concerns over electrical setups. The garden play equipment and BBQ area were also noted as needing attention.
Guests mentioned welcome packs and decorations for special occasions, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. However, as these gestures may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property

Spacious and well equipped, the cottage is ideal for large parties with a roomy kitchen/diner and three bathrooms. There are ground floor facilities and widened doors which are suitable for less able guests and wheelchair users - please phone for further information. The accommodation is finished to a high standard and includes an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with cosy woodburning stove. There is an attractive, enclosed terraced garden, withgarden furniture and BBQ - perfect for a relaxed family break. Pretty Llanberis with its scenic pass and excellent walking is 5 miles away by car (2 miles on foot), and Anglesey, with its many sandy beaches, is only half an hour's drive. An excellent retreat at any time of the year.
Llanberis is dwarfed by the imposing Mount Snowdon; the highest mountain in England and Wales. Many walkers and climbers are drawn by the challenge of Snowdon, but it is also possible to experience the views from the summit by taking the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Llanberis is located in the Snowdonia National Park and offers other attractions for those interested in unspoilt scenery, abundant wildlife and the variety of activities offered by the great outdoors. For a more relaxed approach, Llanberis is well-served by restaurants, pubs and shops and there are a number of tourist attractions within a short drive, such as Caernarfon Castle and National trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.

We had booked this property last minute after another airbnb fell through. The location was fantastic, only a short drive to Lake Padarn. It was very spacious; more than enough room for our party of 8. The beds were extremely comfortable. They appeared to be brand new, as well as the couches. The place was fully equipped with anything we could have needed for our week stay. Would definitely recommend or book again!
