“This was a lovely cottage in a great location, great for exploring Snowdonia and coast.”

Unfortunately it was difficult to find in the dark and this was exacerbated by the incorrect use of the ‘What 3 Words’ location app which gave a incorrect location. The correct location of the car parking area is ‘rinsed.pushy.handman’ Also cottage was very cold when we arrived at 8.30pm as boiler had not been put on so no heat or hot water, not hood for a chilly late September arrival.

Unless you light the wood burner the temperature difference between upstairs in the kitchen to all the other rooms is significant.

“Some previous reviews have moaned about the shower in the en suite.”

Yes the floor gets wet but that is not a problem and the shower is excellent. My only suggestion would be to provide more crockery and cutlery to save putting the dishwasher on so much.

- Mr Bell, September 2020
“Some of the kitchen crockery and cooking utensils are in need of replacing due to wear and tear.”

Otherwise the cottage was as described. It is a pity the soft furnishings and loose items were removed due to Covid as it spoils the aesthetic appearance of the property which does impact on your holiday experience.

- Mrs Hurst, September 2020
“We really loved the cottage, we have stressful lives so coming here in the peace and quiet was needed.”

The beds were very comfortable also. The location of the cottage was perfect for visiting Snowdon which we climbed while staying.The only downfall for us is the fittings in the kitchen needed updating, for example the washer dryer didn’t dry the clothes at all and the dishwasher, even after rinsing everything still come out dirty. Apart from that we are looking to book for next year!

- Miss Lailey, September 2020
“Beautiful cottage in a spectacular location.”

Nice garden to sit out and enjoy the views, and tastefully decorated and furnished inside only wish it had dropped cool enough in the evening to light the wood burner.

- Mrs Pearce, August 2020
“Lovely cottage with the owners close by, nothing was too much trouble and they were very helpful.”

Lovely surrounding area, would definitely stay again and can highly recommend.

- Mrs Bell, September 2019
“The location was perfect, and peaceful and calm all week long.”

We needed a relaxing rest from the hustle bustle of every day life and Viv and John made that happen. The place was very clean and tidy and all week we had access to a lovely big bath and a fully functional kitchen for us to cook for ourselves and relax. We had wonderful time exploring the local countryside areas and our Dog and Cat loved being there too, we hadn't seen them so calm before, and our Dog is not normally good with other dogs but seemed to enjoy meeting Viv and Johns Dog each morning for a doggie chat at the gate. if you are looking for some time out away from everyone and everything this is the perfect place to find it. we will definitely consider going back again.

“A quirky property which was very clean but looking a little dated.”

Pretty enclosed garden but the bbq was tiny! There is a flight of stone steps up to the entrance which is not on the picture. Not a problem for us but I noticed it was mentioned in previous feedback. The picture on the website is actually taken from the owners garden and not the side a visitor accesses. The entrance is into the kitchen then the rest of the accommodation is downstairs so all on ground floor level. Whoever sleeps in the bedroom under the kitchen needs to be first up as every footstep and noise travels down. The boiler in the kitchen seemed to be particularly noisy too. The ensuite to this room is actually in the cupboard under the stairs so has a tiny washbasin (wet feet when you wash your face!) and the shower floods the floor (no door/screen) even though it is not a proper wet room. This meant getting dried in the bedroom and nowhere to put towels. The bedroom itself is not very big. The photo has been taken from the doorway. The other bedroom is much bigger but the bathroom just has a bath with a shower attachment and no screen/curtain so only any good for using while having a bath. Neither toilet flushed very well and took an age to refill. WiFi appalling. Basically totally unreliable which considering it was possible to get 4G out in the lane was ridiculous and something the owners could rectify easily. It was shared with theirs and when ours went off there was some process taking the box apart and restarting it which was daft and didn't work for long. The big gripe was no house book. So no info about supermarkets, places to eat etc etc. There were numerous public footpaths around the property but no info although the owners did loan OS maps when asked. When asked about the house book we were told someone had taken it. Previous comments have mentioned no book so this does not seem likely. We were advised to 'just google it'. See WiFi comment above!! We did get a lengthy text from owner about walks when asked but no proper directions (eg pass 2 ponies in a field!) and no info on distances. Suggestions about places to eat/go were mainly Anglesey. Is there nowhere decent to eat nearby? Excellent butchers in Llanrug opposite Co-op and lots of leaflets in house about where to go so we worked it out ourselves. However many of the leaflets were out of date going back to 2016 so pricing info wrong and need to be culled. Fortunately manged to locate washing machine instructions in kitchen drawer and the oven was self evident. Overall ok. We have stayed in better.

“A most beautiful cottage and location.”

It's really well equipped and the owners are very friendly.Fantastic set up for taking your dog. The garden is enclosed and the owners have 3 softy dogs of their own. A lovely relaxed feel to the cottage, garden and it's entirety. Friendly horse over the fence too. We had mostly wet weather during our stay, but the log fire made us warm and cosy. We had enough logs to light up every evening, with some to spare at the end. I would reccomend this cottage.

- Lyn,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Tyddyn Ddeugoed, it was obviously a good fit for your party. Next time we will try and get the weather on side for you! Owner relations
“Excellent cottage, friendly owners, good location to explore n wales”

- Andrew Edgcombe,
“The cottage was lovely and in a great location though it was looking rather 'tired' in places and in need of a thorough clean in others.”

We would have appreciated a welcome pack with information about the cottage and how to do things like put the hot water on, use the washing machine, recommendations for local pubs and so on. Also, the owner told us that Menai Cottages had made a mistake by hiring out the cottage to us and we weren't made to feel particularly welcome! We did have a good holiday despite these things though we would probably not stay here again.

“Really lovely cottage in a great location.”

Nice to be met and shown around. Welsh cakes and jam on the table a nice touch! Could have done with a welcome pack to show the local supermarkets, doctors etc, etc and possibly a visitors book for comments?

“V good cottage, garden and setting”

“Well equipped cottage .”

Clean and warm .Owners helped when needed

- R Davenport,
“Lovely location & nice decor however, sofas are very worn & unsupportive.”

Under floor heating not great in winter months but log burner saved the day. WIFI only worked for a few days then for some reason password was no longer recognised, being British we didn’t complain however someone relying on WIFI connectivity maybe disappointed. But they are very friendly owners. Perfect for summer months & someone wanting a break from social media

“Lovely views and very quiet.”

Warm and comfy. Would be good to have had a list of useful numbers, but owners helpful when we needed emergency vet. A stunning place to enjoy an amazing area. Reco Fu's takeaway in caernarfon! Thanks for amazing holiday x

- G Peacock,
“The beds and sofas were comfortable but the kitchen was divorced from the rest of the house and there was no tv, cd player or decent radio in there so it was a bit lonely when preparing meals.”

The WiFi was really only any good in the kitchen or garden so that was a bit disappointing. Direct access to the garden would also have been nice. Overall I would say that the fixtures and fittings were acceptable but it wasn't the most comfortable cottage we have had due to the strange layout.

“Some Pictures misleading regarding entrance to the property which was up steps not on ground level should have put in there somewhere not suitable if you have any disability because flight of stairs with no banister if it had picture of the steps in or the stairs we would have not booked it.”

We have been on many of these holidays with no problems because other companies put these points in

- Angela Thornalley,

We are very sorry that you encountered problems. We have checked the cottage page and we are satisfied that there is clear information provided in various places to alert guests that the cottage is not all on one level. The photographs clearly show this too. We do recommend that our guests who have any specific requirements have a chat to us first to ensure that the cottage is right for them before booking.

“We spent a very happy and peaceful Christmas at Tyddyn Ddeugoed which was just what we needed.”

We were welcomed by the very helpful and friendly owners and shown around which we really appreciated. A cosy, well presented and spotlessly clean cottage, superb décor, very well equipped kitchen with everything we could have needed. Such comfy beds and an abundance of towels along with the very generous supply of logs etc. which made for a most comfortable stay. We would highly recommend and hope to return, thank you both.

The property

Tyddyn Ddeugoed is a fabulous holiday cottage in a glorious location, with views across open countryside towards the mountains, Caernarfon Bay and Anglesey.

The owners have ensured that every little detail has been thought of so your stay is a complete joy!

You are sure to have a restful and relaxing stay in such a peaceful part of Snowdonia. "Oak floors, exposed stone walls, carefully combined with comfy contemporary furniture and a lovely location.

This is a joy to visit." This sympathetic conversion of 17th-century building has retained much of their original charm in the exposed stone walls, oak floors and pretty Gothic windows.

Antique and modern furnishings have been carefully blended in each room. With footpaths and cycle routes close by, including some brilliant dog friendly walks, this is a beautiful area to explore at a leisurely pace.

It's a short drive to the wonderful beaches of Anglesey, the lovely town of Caernarfon with its excellent shops, places to eat and drink and castle.

The Snowdonia National Park is vast and contains spectacular scenery - it's on the doorstep, too!

Popular Llanberis is also within driving distance, as well as some of the finest attractions of North Wales.

Despite being in a quiet location, there is a supermarket within a ten-minute drive, making your self-catering break that little bit easier!

About the location

LLANRUG

Llanberis 2 miles; Caernarfon 4 miles; Betws-y-Coed 15 miles.

Llanrug is a small village with two pubs, two shops, a Post Office, a hotel with indoor swimming pool and fitness room, and a 9 hole golf course is nearby. The village is situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, only 3 miles from famous Llanberis. Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis 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. Llanberis is something of a 'mecca' for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Llanberis boasts excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 4 miles from Llanrug, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent 13th century castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd and many wonderful beaches.
