Cleanliness
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'immaculately clean' and 'very clean'. However, one review mentioned an issue with flies and a dispute with cleaners, which seems to be an isolated incident rather than a common experience.
Location
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions such as Betws y Coed and Snowdon. The peaceful village setting and easy access to walking trails contribute to its high rating.
Comfort
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds, a cosy log fire, and spacious living areas. The property is described as a 'home from home', indicating a high level of comfort for visitors.
Facilities
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and for having good bathroom facilities. However, there are some concerns about heating and a lack of up-to-date information in the welcome booklet, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
Thoughtfulness
Several reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome gift of milk, butter, and cakes, which guests appreciated. It is important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
