Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, though a few mentioned issues with cobwebs, grease, and mould. These seem to be isolated incidents, as the majority did not raise cleanliness concerns.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and convenience for walking and exploring North Wales. It is described as secluded yet accessible, with stunning views and wildlife.
Guests generally found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner lit. However, some noted that additional heating may be required during colder months.
While the reviews mention a range of facilities, there is not enough consistent detail to accurately score this category. Some guests suggested improvements, such as better outdoor lighting and an upgraded shower.
The welcome pack and personal visits from the owner were appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Betws y Coed can supply all you need for your stay. Welsh cakes on arrival were a welcome bonus! Highly recommended.

With a 3 year old we really appreciated working wifi, dishwasher, hoover, secure outdoor space and the washing machine. The view from the garden was amazing! Only downside was the volume of skinny spiders in the cottage. Grateful for access to the hoover!
