Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews indicate that cleanliness is inconsistent, with several guests noting the need for a deeper clean and attention to detail. Issues such as dust, grime, and leftover rubbish were mentioned, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The property's location is highly praised, being situated in the heart of Llanberis and close to Snowdonia's attractions. Its proximity to local shops, restaurants, and the lake makes it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests find the property comfortable overall, with ample space and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned issues with heating and the quality of mattresses, indicating that while the property is generally comfortable, there are areas that could be enhanced.
The facilities are appreciated, especially the large dining table and sauna. However, guests have reported maintenance issues such as broken heating and showers, and some kitchen equipment needing replacement. The property is functional but would benefit from updates and repairs.
There is insufficient information to accurately score thoughtfulness. While some guests appreciated the provision of items the next day after a call to the owner, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate a level of thoughtfulness.

There was ample parking space, the conservatory was ideal for storing wetsuits, life jackets etc and the fact that the lake was just 5 mins walk away was amazing. There were plenty of places to walk to and also many interesting places within reasonable driving distances. Some of our family enjoyed the challenge of climbing Snowdon. We look forward to returning next year.

The parking area is smaller than advertised and we only had one large car. The sauna was a warm welcome and looks new. The bedrooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. However the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The table was tacky to touch even when we cleaned it. The blind was ripped and in a bad state. The oven hadnât been cleaned in a very long time and covered in grease. The bin is rusted and dirty. Overall the house surfaces were clean but the details ie skirting boards were dirty. Itâs in the detail that unfortunately let it down a little. A good position in the town.
