“The property is in a beautiful location but is in need of a refresh.”

Some plasterwork repairs, fence repairs externally ( a gate missing) and redecoration and updated bedding. Showers were great. Good kitchen facilities.

“Perfect accommodation for our weekend.”

On a whole, it was clean and tidy. All facilities in working condition. Parking could have been explained as we only just managed to fit three cars in the spaces provided. Thank you for our stay!

“We stayed here over the Xmas period with the whole family.”

When we walked into the property on the ground floor and initially thought it’s in need of a little modernisation. The first floor is fairly modern with a Lovely open plan living and dining area thats great for socialising with friends and family. A major negative is that the main largest bathroom that has a shower and bath In, we could not use as there are 3 large church style Clear glass windows With no blinds or curtains. There is a field full of sheep right outside the window which had a farmer hard at work. He could clearly see me and I could clearly see him. Not the greatest unless you want to be peeped on. I could also see the road and other houses. Overall enjoyed the stay and location. Just a shame about the privacy issues.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I am sorry for the privacy issue in one of the bathrooms. The windows have recently been replaced and we had not realised that the blinds had not been put back. This has now been addressed. Owner relations

“We had such a great time and loved the cottage.”

Correspondence was clear and made the whole process so easy. The cottage was besutiful, clean, welcoming and never left us wanting. Location was amazing. Would have loved space for 1 more car but we knew there were only 2 when we booked so were able to make it work.

“We had a very enjoyable weekend in this spacious property.”

It is in a beautiful part of the world. Great for a family get together.
Mr Fayle August 2019

“Wonderful location and very comfortable property with plenty of space and light.”
“Lovely cottage.”

Beautiful location.Nearly perfect. Just needed some sound insulation for us oldies.

“Everything there that was needed.”

Good quality furniture. Lovely views. Would have liked a bit more outside space for the children but Chapels don't usually come with gardens. Shed key was missing when we arrived but as the weather wasn't brilliant we didn't need the BBQ or the outside chairs.
“Functional as previously stated.”

Would stay again
“The cottage was in a superb location for Snowdonia and its many attractions.”

We enjoyed watching the horse, sheep and clouds from the living room windows. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need for 8 people and for all weather. However, there were some aspects where the cottage seemed tired and could be improved upon, such as lighting and mattresses. We appreciated that the owners were probably working their way through updating as the bathrooms were all good. We could not find the house manual with all the appliance booklets, and that would have been useful.
“The photos on the website didn't reflect the cottage, it was quite shabby in places.”

“Very nice place with all the stuff and space we needed (there were 6 of us including a baby & a young child) & the location is great as a base for discovering the area, only slight niggle was that the main bedroom was difficult to heat up, probably because it is so big ( the size is a good thing).”

Not a problem for those of us who prefer cooler rooms, but others werent so keen. Didnt spoil the stay though.
Keith Jones

“Spacious, warm and cosy despite freezing temperatures outside.”

Comfortable beds, showers excellent. Wonderful views, plenty of walking from doorstep. Perfect accommodation, perfect location.
“Positive: Excellent location, fabulous view, good space, clean.”

Negative: Wi-Fi was not available on the first 3 days and last day of stay (not enough data booked), owner and keeper were out of reach during that period.
Janice Coleyshaw

“Clean and tidy with a wow factor.”

I'd chosen the en-suite bedroom (booker's perks) but found the double mattress uncomfortable - I guess it gets the most use! So I slept on the single bed for the remaining two nights, more comfy but not what I'd expected to have to do.
“We love Ffynnon Wen, its location, the decor, and layout are all great.”

We have stayed here a few times and each time has been great.
John Heselton

“Brilliant location.”

Lovely property!
“Cracking building, it has nearly everythjng you need.”

The pink walls are not very nice, a less gaudy colour would make the place look better. Also there is a big patch of red paint on one wall (an unfinished project?) The knives desperately need sharpening, they were so dull I ended up using the bread knife to cut the beef roast. A larger kitchen bin would be nice and

“Great place for a large group of people.”

Plenty of space to cook, eat and chill.

About the location

DINORWIC

Llanberis 5.4 miles; Caernarfon 9.2 miles; Bangor 9.5 miles.

The village of Dinorwic is approximately 5 miles north of Llanberis, on the border of the Snowdonia National Park, making it an ideal base to explore the National Park. The Llanberis Railway runs nearby along the banks of Lake Padarn, whilst the ruins of Dolbadarn Castle are 2 miles away, or visit Ceunant Mawr, a cascading waterfall just outside Llanberis. Local walks lead to the Marchlyn Mawr Reservoir on the northern slopes of Elidir Fawr. Llanberis is 4 miles away and is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something fantastic for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. On the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.

Note: £100 good housekeeping bond
