Guests say
Y Bwthyn is consistently praised for its cleanliness, stunning location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the thoughtful touches from the owners, such as a welcome cake. The enclosed garden is a hit with dog owners, and the property's proximity to Snowdonia and coastal areas makes it an ideal base for exploring.
Reviewers frequently mention the property's cleanliness, with several noting it as 'spotless' and well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of hygiene and care.
The property's location is highly regarded for its tranquillity, spectacular views, and accessibility to Snowdonia and coastal attractions, making it a favoured spot for nature lovers and adventurers.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and warm, with a comfortable atmosphere. However, a few mentioned that the mattresses may need replacing, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.
The facilities are generally praised for being well-equipped and convenient, including a utility room and secure parking. There is a minor note on the limited hot water for baths and a temporary issue with Wi-Fi.
While guests express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts, there are not enough reviews explicitly mentioning these touches to guarantee their consistency, and thus the score is set to null.

Ideal location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey from. Secure area around the property, although small, is great for dogs. Parking next to the property. Boot room/utility area on entrance to the property is great for muddy and wet gear. Milk, cake on arrival is a nice touch, we accidentally left a charger behind, which was posted back to us really quickly by the owner which was appreciated.

Cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for a cozy stay. The fenced parking area was great for us with two big dogs and the views were stunning. We will def be back
