  Just returned from a lovely holiday in an excellent cottage.

  It has everything we needed, including a Nespresso coffee machine which was a real bonus! The furniture including the bedrooms is all very comfortable and the decor, particularly the spectacular slate wall in the double bedroom all create an excellent ambience to the cottage. We ate, including breakfast, outside whenever the weather permitted taking in the lovely views all around. The gardens are excellent for sitting in and enjoying the good weather and also totally contained for our two dogs to run around in. The Railway Inn, over the road, offers an excellent choice of local beers as well as the more traditional plus superb home cooked food at lunch and in the evening. There are lots of places to visit within a short drive. A ride on the Talyllyn Railway is a must! You can hear the train and catch glimpses of it through the trees from the back garden. Whilst there we had a visit from the original Arthur’s brother who was back in the area for a visit. It was good having a chat with him about the house and village. We would highly recommend it and hope to return next year.

  While the property was clean and basically as advertised, it was not dog friendly; space for night-time and early morning dog toilet purposes was inadequate.

  We found on arrival no basic toiletries, (soap and shampoo), let alone welcoming tea/coffee. And the advertised clothes washer did not exist. When the shower annexed to the larger bedroom locked into an "on" position, my son telephoned the owner, who was more concerned with his own holiday arrangements than those of his paying guests. I think I would also have wanted to know beforehand that the off-road parking is good, but the access to it is via a VERY narrow archway and if you are driving a larger vehicle you WILL have issues getting in and out. Also while the sleeping areas are all on the ground floor the living areas are on the first floor and the stairs are VERY steep which might well cause issues if someone has less than great mobility. We would have put the bin/recycling out had we known what day to do it, (and indeed I did put the recycling out) but the bin was overflowing by the end of our stay and I suspect the next person was going to have a very bad experience with that. (The overflowing bin was drawing the attention of a large rat.)

  If you get the wrong music in the pub then for that night the cottage is awful.

  5 hours of banging base that is so loud it shakes the windows and makes the fridge vibrate needs to have warnings. looking at the planned music I think we got the worse one possible. Also the Pub dropping empty beer barrels against the wall your headboard is on at 1am in the morning is unpleasant. The habit that locals ( Welsh number plate ) and delivery drivers have of parking on the double yellow outside the property and restricting or in some cases blocking the archway access also not good. Some of the people doing this appeared to be living or staying in the properties right next to the archway. I am aware this is likely outside the owners control, but it does affect the enjoyment of the property. Beds gave everyone sore backs to the point we looked forward to going home to our own beds and left a day early. If you happen to know the owners of the local chip shop, being open on your advertised open days would be nice, but meant we found chippy dee which was great. Aside from that it was a nice cottage.

  Far Beyond our expectations!

  ! The biggest problem you'll have is getting it free for time you want!! A barn conversion par excellence really, really, nice,in quiet location between Bangor & Snowdon Gwen the owner left a welcome pack ,showed us around and put the timings We Wanted on the boiler !! Even left Tea Towels!! so we were always warm, the WiFi was good too,& parking just outside with only two low steps down to bedroom the other wise flat ground floor layout was ideal for my wife, The location makes it only minutes drive from Snowdon Railway & mountain paths, and very near the Menai bridge to Anglesey, plus,Zip Wire & Port Merion & Flestiniog Railway are only a bit further,all without having to endure the Bangor town traffic,!!! Bangor being approx 10 minutes drive away. It looks possible to get buses into Bangor or Llanberris from about quarter of mile away but obviously easier to explore if you have your own transport All in all a great place to stay if visiting the area,

  We loved the house.

  Only a couple of things were a worry. Some of the windows upstairs didn’t have catches - and could easily be opened by our 4 year old. A fall hazard. Plus one downstairs not secure either so anyone could get in fairly easily to break in while out. But we did see Gwyn as we left and we let him know all this. The front door could do with a blind on it to preserve modesty coming out of the bathroom. Loo brush needed in ensuite. Apart from that it was clean, lovely and warm and cosy. We loved it. Especially our little one who loved his chair as he called it. The swing seat. It was a fab base for exploring locally and doing lots of castles. Excellently placed for touring if you are not bothered about a big garden - and because there’s so many lovely places nearby like the beach it was perfect for us. The train track didn’t bother us and neither did the pub. The decor is lovely and fresh looking. Great place.
