The location was perfect for our climb up snowdon and our zipworld adventure. The cottage is beautiful and exactly as described. The owner was also kind enough to let us check in late as we had trouble travelling up! Overall highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking next time we climb snowdon!

O'Grady was super friendly. Couldn't wish for a better place to spend a few days, or for a better proprietor. I will recommend it to anyone, but a long weekend is hardly long enough to get full enjoyment of the place or the area. Have a full week!

It was perfect for us and the cottage was super cosy and we loved the traditional decor. It was clean, tidy and well kept. The Welsh Cakes and goody basket with the teas and Coffees was very kind and a nice touch. The farm is lovely and the owner so friendly and kind. If I could wave a magic wand, and it's a personal preference, to have a comfier mattress. I have a bad back and it was quite firm. On removing the sheets for check out, it was evident that perhaps the mattress had better days. The duvet had a small rip in and the comfy sofa was missing a middle leg at the front, so we had quite a shock on standing up as the sofa tipped forward quite drastically! Maybe something to look into? This wouldn't deter us coming back as it was the perfect holiday cottage otherwise and great value as well.
