Mrs Vaughan
January 2022

“We had a lovely few days in this clean, comfortable and cosy cottage, which definitely deserves its 5 star status.”

We loved the wood burner and scenic views most. The dog loved the exercise paddock at the front of the cottage. The owners are helpful and responsive and left a welcome pack of supplies for us on arrival. We will definitely return.

Mrs Townley December 2021

“Wonderful cottage, cosy and comfortable with stunning views and an ideal base for exploring North Wales and Anglesey.”

Our dog enjoyed playing in the enclosed paddock and meeting the friendly horses in the field next door. Very considerate owners who left a fantastic welcome pack for us all and the cottage was warm and welcoming for our arrival over the Christmas break including tasteful Christmas decorations. We would love to return again.

Mr White October 2021

“Lovely bungalow in an elevated position in the village with spectacular views.”

Frondeg has everything you will ever need for your holiday. Frondeg is a great base for all North Wales attractions only being 15-30 mins drive away.

- Mr White, October 2021
Mrs Stuart August 2021

“Firstly the communication from the owners of the cottage was superb.”

The location of the cottage was great, towards the top of the village with wonderful views. The outside space was fab - my kids (and our dog) loved playing in the paddock and saying hello to the horses in the neighbouring field. The interior was sparkly clean upon arrival with a helpful welcome pack left by the owners. The facilities were excellent and the beds super comfy! The only negative of our holiday was the weather!! Would highly recommend this cottage as a place to stay. We will definitely be returning.

Mrs Thompson July 2021

“Spotless clean bungalow everything we needed, nice welcome goodies.”

Friendly owners who made us very welcome. Good location for exploring North Wales. Our dog loved running up and down the paddock whilst safe.

Mrs Wayte June 2021

“The views and location were truly stunning Frondeg was in an excellent location for walking or touring.”

The Accomodation is finished to a lovely standard and the kitchen is well equipped if you prefer to cook. We especially loved the amazing panoramic views and watching the sunsets from the picture window and conservatory. It really made our holiday special. The hosts were helpful friendly and welcoming. The welcome basket was full of goodies for us and our dog. Having the paddock for dog to run and play in was yet another extra feature that made our stay truly lovely. Could not have wished for more. We have booked again for next year!

- Mrs Wayte, June 2021
Mrs Goddard June 2021

“What a fantastic find this cottage was, it was everything in the details plus more, on arrival it was spotlessly clean, lovely welcome hamper.”

The owners came to visit us after we had settled in and were lovely people and nothing was too much trouble, views from all windows were magnificent, if we are in the area again will definitely stay again.

- Mrs Goddard, June 2021
Mrs Perkins June 2021

“The cottage is very spacious and comfortable, with amazing views from many of the windows.”

It is in a perfect location for exploring both Snowdonia and Anglesey. There are also lots of lovely walks direct from the cottage.

- Mrs Perkins, June 2021
Ms Ong May 2021

“Lovely holiday cottage, was wonderful to arrive in a clean, beautifully equipped cottage after a long drive into Wales.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch as well. Einir provided excellent communication and was thoughtful to let us know where we could find outdoor furniture on a sunny day. Our toddler absolutely loved the house and garden, interacting with the animals next door. The kitchen is well equipped for any of your cooking needs. Fantastic stay, we highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

- Ms Ong, May 2021
Mr Goraya April 2021

“One the first night the heating did not work.”

It was fixed the following day however the radiators were extremely noisy all night. we reported this issue and the owners sent someone around the next day. Still this problem was not fixed and we had a very loud radiator all night throughout our stay.

- Mr Goraya, April 2021
Mrs Bolton October 2020

“Frondeg is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.”

Our expectations were exceeded the moment we opened the door as the bungalow smelt so fresh and clean. It was spotless, warm and so comfortable. We had absolutely everything we could possibly need as Hefin and Einir had gone to so much trouble and given a great deal of thought into making our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Our welcome gifts were thoughtful and meant we didn't need to find shops to get us started and instead relaxed with a cup of tea and slice of Bara Brith. Even Lily our golden retriever had treats! The bungalow is so convenient for exploring Anglesey and Snowdonia. We were at the foot of Snowdon within ten minutes and also did some lovely walks from the door including walking into Bangor and getting the bus back which stops opposite the house. The garden is beautiful, I took my watercolours and could have spent the week painting flowers and scenery. It's also a dog's holiday in itself as Lily loved racing around the field which was all enclosed and made friends with the horses in the adjoining field. Everything is beautifully kept and it was a pleasure to sit in the conservatory and admire the views across the fields, over Bangor and to the sea. Thank you for making our holiday so relaxing and memorable. We look forward to coming back.

- Mrs Bolton, October 2020
Mr Vernon September 2020

“Amazing holiday home which is one of the best ever stayed in.”

Jaw dropping views across the valleys and the dog loved the outside paddock. Very clean throughout. Perfectly situated for visiting loads of wonderful places. We will be visiting again one day.

- Mr Vernon, September 2020
Mr Povey September 2020

“This is the best equipped and furnished property we have stayed in.”

The location is excellent, convenient for Snowdonia, Ynys Mon , and the beaches of North Wales. The owners are local and made us feel welcome, the locals were friendly. Will definitely visit again.

- Mr Povey, September 2020
Mr Kerrison August 2020

“Great place to stay,,,great views,,all round lovely place and owners very good and friendly”

- Mr Kerrison, August 2020
Mrs Fuller August 2020

“Frondeg was so beautiful.”

Everything in the house was of top quality, super clean and wonderfully comfortable. The gardens were beautiful and having our own paddock was the icing on the cake. The views across to the Menaii Straits was spectacular and the mountains lay just behind us. There were friendly horses in the field next to us and every day they came to say hello and to receive a carrot or apple. The location was perfect. We seemed to be no more than 5 miles from so many gorgeous areas - Anglesey, Snowdonia, Caernarfon and many more. We have enjoyed many Sykes cottages over the years, but this one was truly perfect in every way.

- Mrs Fuller, August 2020
Miss Varney July 2020

“Wonderful bungalow, fabulous host, superb view, great garden, amazing welcome pack.”

We absolutely loved it. Our dog was very, very pleased too. The best self catering cottage I have ever stayed in.

Mr Holderness October 2019

“Super location the owners went the extra mile.”

To make us welcome.

- Mr Holderness, October 2019
Mrs Mountain October 2019

“We have recently returned from a wonderful week at Frondeg.”

Our expectations were far exceeded. Communication from the owners was excellent. They even popped over to see if we had settled in okay. The accommodation is immaculate, spacious, warm and very comfortable. The owners have literally thought of everything to make Frondeg 'home from home'. There is even a slow cooker and George Foreman Grill! The welcome pack included eggs, milk, bread, chocolates, cakes and even treats for our Border Collie who loved the space outside to run up and down with her Frisbee. The front and back gardens are completely secure. The views are incredible. We certainly hope to return next year.

- Mrs Mountain, October 2019
Mr Highstead September 2019

“This holiday accommodation is home from home, whilst you definitely need a car to get out and about the views from the bungalow are spectacular with nothing but wild life for your neighbours.”

The hosts have thought of everything and should be very proud at the standards they are achieving. We would definitely recommend Frondeg to any friends and family wishing to holiday in this are?

- Mr Highstead, September 2019
Mr Band September 2019

“Lovely cottage, owners fantastic.”

One small criticism that our small Scottie dog struggled with the garden steps to the front and back garden, yet the description on the website makes no mention of these.

- Mr Band, September 2019
Mr Swinburne September 2019

“The house was mainly as expected but the welcome pack was very good and all the equipment/ rooms in the cottage were in excellent condition as the property had been fairly newly renovated.”

- Mr Swinburne, September 2019
Mr Morley August 2019

- Mr Morley, August 2019
Mrs Crawford August 2019

Mrs Bayton June 2019

“We would highly recommended Frondeg as holiday rental.”

A little gem of a cottage in quiet location with lovely views. We spent a long weekend and wish we could of stayed longer. The cottage and grounds were beautifully maintained and the welcome pack was a thoughtful touch with something for everyone, even the dog !

- Mrs Bayton, June 2019
Mr Kendall May 2019

“The cottage is light and bright with lovely views across open countryside towards Anglesey and superb sunsets especially from the sunny patio.”

On arrival the cottage was warm and inviting and there was a very generous welcome pack. Everywhere was scrupulously clean. It is well furnished and equipped and stylishly decorated and has a very pretty garden. This is a lovely place to stay - can't recommend it enough.

- Mr Kendall, May 2019
Mr Etchells April 2019

“Location of cottage excellent to visit North Wales and Anglesey area.”

Welcome tray was the best I've ever come across (Wine, cake, biscuits, dog treats, milk, tea, coffee...and more). Dog towels provided was a nice touch. Super clean and well furnished with some stylish pieces. Access to Amazon Fire Stick was an unexpected bonus although occasionally the internet speeds weren't sufficient to support this at the same time as supporting our own devices. Loved the views and garden area. Well fitted kitchen and super shower. Thanks for everything. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

- Mr Etchells, April 2019
R Downing Oct 2018

About the location

RHIWLAS

Bangor 5 miles; Caernarfon 7 miles.

Rhiwlas is a traditional Welsh village set on the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain range with its own primary school and within easy access from the A55 Expressway, 4 miles from the city of Bangor with its University and with the famous town of Llanberis just 6 miles away. Llanberis offers excellent places to eat and drink, fabulous shopping, and is dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif. It is renowned as something of a 'mecca' 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 the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Just 7 miles from Llanberis, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent Castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd. With Anglesey and the entire North Wales coastline within easy reach, Rhiwlas is an excellent holiday location.
