    “We didn't like the set up on the ground floor with very little storage.”

    The room looked a lot larger on the photos, but it was very small and the kettle and sink was under the stairs where both my wife and I both banged our heads several times. Anyone over 5 feet 6 inches will certainly have trouble with this. The shower was difficult to get working and the towels were not big enough after having a shower.

    The room looked a lot larger on the photos, but it was very small and the kettle and sink was under the stairs where both my wife and I both banged our heads several times. Anyone over 5 feet 6 inches will certainly have trouble with this. The shower was difficult to get working and the towels were not big enough after having a shower. There was no information about anything and we had to either go to the house to ask or work things out ourselves. There was a shortage of kitchen utensils and no matter what the weather was like outside the cottage was always cold even if we put the fire on or used the heater from under the stairs. With no mobile signal and very limited Wi Fi it was difficult to get in touch with anyone.

    - Adrian Michael, June 2026

    You arrived early and when I knocked on the door to check if you had any queries, there was no answer, even though you had just entered the holiday home. Information was given on the Wi-Fi and you said this was something you don’t use and that you didn’t understand what the Wi-Fi password is for. This did seem very unusual. Instructions on how to set the fire thermostat are provided, we also give information on activities / places of interest in the area. I’m 5 feet 7 inches and find the headroom by the sink okay. I’m taller and find there’s no issue. There’s a pull-cord next to the shower and you were unhappy about having to turn this on. We are in a rural area close to the Snowdonia National Park. There are stunning views of Snowdon and the Nantlle Valley close to the property. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your stay. Property Owner
