Summary: 10 of us go away pre christmas for a weekend of fun and walks, eating and drinking. We checked in without issue and info received from host was clear and simple. House is beautiful, well appointed and nice and warm when we arrived. Bedrooms are lovely but are different sizes so its useful to take this into account when allocating rooms. Kitchen is great and dining area plenty big enough for 10. Two lounges , one huge for everyone to be together Unfortunately we stayed when a storm hit and we had no power for a full day, however the host kept in touch throughout. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend

Summary: The owners/managers were great, fast to respond to queries and provided, at no extra cost, clean linen/towels for the change of two beds when our two cousins left to be replaced by four friends from Germany mid way through the stay. The cottage was pretty much as described and well equipped but some of the first floor bedrooms are a rather tight for space for luggage and or clothes for a week's stay. If we had had the maximum of 10 in the property it would not really have been big enough. The location was great in a pretty village with a part time pub next door. It is on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and close to Conwy & Anglesey with lots to see and do in the area.

Summary: We were a party of six adults and two young children celebrating a 70th birthday at Y Gorlan. It was just perfect. The house was very clean, extremely well equipped with a wide range of good quality pots, pans and crockery as well as toiletries and larder items. It is situated in a lovely village close to Conwy and the railway station at Llandudno Junction. The extras like tea bags and dishwasher tablets were much appreciated and we certainly enjoyed the prosecco! We got the impression that the owners really wanted us to be comfortable and enjoy ourselves. Communication was faultless and the Handbook has to be one of the most comprehensive I have ever seen. Thank you very much Annette and Peter.
