Summary: The cottage was cosy and warm, clean and well equipped. Nice decor and decorated for Xmas (we stayed over New Year). Great location for hill walking. The spiral staircase was impressive but worth noting it goes from the basement through all 4 levels of the house - if you aren't great with stairsyou bring dogs which aren't then it's something to consider. Our dogs did find them a little tricky to navigate down to the kitchen where access is to the garden. Overall we really liked this home!

Summary: Stayed in this cottage for a week over Christmas’24. Was a last minute booking but after eventually finding the place in the dark we were greeted with Xmas decorations (lit up!), Welsh tea cakes, Prosecco … and a charming cottage. Very clean and well presented with more than enough space for the two of us and our small dog. Awoke to find in the foothills of Snowdonia- Llan Ffestiniog is quiet village and a great base to explore Snowdonia which is what we used it for. The accommodation was great - clean, comfortable and very warm! It would have been 11/10 if it had had a real fire. There is no stand up shower but a fairly large corner bath on the 3rd floor with shower attachment. Kitchen is very well kitted out with all mod cons and a slate floor and granite worktop. No extractor fan but it didn’t seem to get too many fumes from cooking. Gas cooker was great! For what we paid we thought this was amazing accommodation and would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thanks 🙏🏻

Summary: Lovely views from the rear of the property. You definitely need a car to get to places and the local pub isn’t much to be desired unfortunately. However, local people were friendly and the property was very comfortable and warm. We would definitely stay again if we were returning to the area.

Summary: The cottage was well furnished with comfy seating and beds. The garden was overgrown and so we couldn't sit out on the warm evenings. There was a slight smell of damp coming up from the basement kitchen. This was noticeable after the cottage was shut up for the day.

Summary: The accommodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You feel welcome upon arrival. The location is great for excursions and there are also beautiful walks from the cottage. Unfortunately, there is no real shower in the house, you will have to make do with a bath. All the doorposts are a bit low, you have to get used to having to duck.

Summary: Great little gem, hidden away yet in a perfect spot. Lovely welcome pack and little details which added to the experience. The space is deceptively big and loved the separation. Beds were excellent and the kitchen well equipped. Lots to love and will come back. The lack of a traditional shower was not a major issue but we felt the amount of water to fill a bath due to large size of the tub seemed a waste of water (from a sustainable viewpoint)
