The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only one mention of cobwebs and a musky smell upon arrival. The overwhelming feedback, however, reflects a high standard of cleanliness that contributed to the guests' comfort.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions and amenities. It serves as an excellent base for exploring North Wales, with guests enjoying the surrounding wildlife and walking opportunities.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with comfortable beds and a homely atmosphere. There is a single mention of uncomfortable single beds, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback on comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-stocked and equipped. However, there are some concerns about maintenance issues such as a failed window unit, broken games in the games room, and a temporary lack of hot water. These issues lead to a slightly lower score.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treats like scones and milk, and the readiness to assist guests. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Betws-Y-Coed was founded around a monastery late in the 6th Century. It grew very slowly with the development of the local lead-mining industry and today has earned the nickname of âthe Gateway to Snowdonia' and is one of North Wales' most popular holiday destinations. As part of the Snowdonia National Park it is surrounded by miles of unspoilt countryside and ancient mountains and is home to an abundance of wildlife and some rare species of plants. This is a Mecca for walkers, horse-riders and climbers looking to pit themselves against the trials offered by Mount Snowdon. There are a variety of attractions in and around Betwsy-Y-Coed, such as Fairy Glen, a secluded gorge and beauty spot on the River Conwy. The Swallow Falls are also extremely popular and offer a dramatic highlight to any visit. There is a good selection of pubs in the village, with a number of restaurants and shops.
