“Everything was well thought out and presented.”

The only issue was with the arial/reception quality for the TV. It was a little hit and miss when on standard channels (only) but there were no issues when on Netflix etc.

- Brian, September 2023

“Great place to stay in a lovely setting.”

Highly recommended

Clare September 2023

“Beaver Grove Cottage is wonderful.”

Everything you need is provided, there is a river running past, with fields and a well maintained garden with a lovely seating area. We wanted for nothing and would definitely recommend. The small village of Betwys y Coed is right around the corner, about a 15 minute walk. Beautiful.

- Clare, September 2023
Graham September 2023

“This was a lovely cottage in a stunning location that our dogs absolutely loved, and felt like we had our own private stretch of river to swim in.”

The property has everything you need and is very comfortable, but in places it could do with a little TLC especially in the bathroom. We had a lovely time is this cottage, and North wales.

“We had a lovely week with our two dogs at Beaver Cottage.”

Fantastic location, perfect place to recharge the batteries. Note for dog owners - the garden is not secure

- Emma, August 2023
Jenny August 2023

“Great location, easy walk for the town.”

Pleasant house, lovely and clean. The boot room/hall was a great space for bags and boots and stuff .In two of the bedrooms the hanging rails /clothed rails were the best I've seen and much preferred to wardrobes. Liked the access and view from the kitchen door to eating area surrounded by garden. Would have welcomed less fence (it was only wire) but a clearer view to the river would have been tops. The suggested (instructed) access to the property was challenging for a vehicle with low ground clearance but speaking with owner there was another entrance to the property that we could use and that was fine. A really good stay.

- Jenny, August 2023

“A great property in a beautiful location.”

Well furnished and equipped. Within easy walking distance of Betws-y-coed. I would highly recommend a day there.

Victoria June 2023

“Absolutely loved our stay.”

The cottage was so clean and comfortable and in a beautiful setting. Only a short walk into Betws-y-Coed with lots of great places to eat and drink. We didn’t want to leave!

- Victoria, June 2023
Wendy June 2023

“Amazing cottage in a fantastic location.”

Tucked away from the main road and only 10 minute walk into town. Cottage is a real home from home and is very well equipped. With a lovely garden and shared wooded area surrounding. We had such a fabulous week that We booked again for next year, ten minutes after leaving!

“Beautiful location and cottage with great walks around the grounds, excellent.”

The only issue for us is having to strip beds and bins whilst vacating before 9am. Just felt like we were doing the cleaners job.

“Everything was really good”

Donna April 2023

“Beautiful cottage in a great location with fantastic views of the river, the gardens are beautifully maintained.”

There definitely is a cost of living crisis no welcome pack (cake or milk), unlike all the other cottages we've stayed in. We like to cook but found some of kitchen utensils need reviewing, lack of standard cutlery, the potato peeler is rusty, spatula handle unsafe as it comes off, apart from the main oven tray there were no additional baking trays (only pyrex dishes) no wire grill mesh, pans that have been well used to say the least and mugs that have old chips in, would have given it 5 if better equipped. On the plus side only a 10 minute walk into Betws-y-coed but make sure you take some change with you as all the public toilets we came across were 30p to use. As a central location for some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery you will not be disappointed, we are definitely missing the views and sound of the river.

- Donna, April 2023
Karen March 2023

“Lovely cottage, very well located to walk into Betws-y Coed, and the bars and restaurantes.”

Really enjoyed our stay, hope to be back at some point.

- Karen, March 2023
Daniel December 2022

“Absolutely loved our stay, already looking to book again later on in the new year.”

Only downside is actually finding the place from the main road as the Google maps location is incorrect and there is no street lighting for the 2 access roads from the main road which in the dark makes things a bit tricky!

- Daniel, December 2022
Alan December 2022

“What a wonderful cottage.”

Clean, cozy, fantastic location and with all the facilities to make our stay perfect.

- Alan, December 2022
Alice December 2022

“A perfectly located cottage, I have been coming to the town since I was little and like to try new cottages and this was one of my favourites.”

Just a short walk into town, right on the river it was great. You can hear and see the river from the master bedroom which I found to be a great feature of my stay. The house was very clean and warm and the beds very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again soon.

- Alice, December 2022
Vanessa August 2022

“We had a lovely week at Beaver Grove Cottage.”

In such a beautiful location and we were spoiled with lovely weather which just added to the experience even more. A lovely walk into Bewtsy from the cottage even though the suspension bridge is temporarily closed, the walk over Waterloo bridge is not as far as we expected. Had some lovely food at Waterloo hotel and our favourite y-stablau at the Royal Oak. I cannot recommend the food enough there. The cottage has everything you need and was so peaceful sitting in the garden and viewing the river. Pure heaven. The owners were lovely and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a wonderful stay. You won’t be disappointed with staying here. The only downside was having to go home and eating too much food of course

- Vanessa, August 2022
Oliver August 2022

“Lovely cottage!”

A very secluded and quiet location. It was a very pleasant week, thank you!

- Oliver, August 2022
Rebecca August 2022

“We had a great stay at Beaver Grove Cottage.”

The house was cool through the hot weather, which let us enjoy the really good outdoor space at the cottage. It was great to be able to do so much from the cottage without driving, and having the super Ty Gwyn Inn nearly at the end of the drive was great. Big thanks to Jon for providing accessible and secure bike storage and Rosie for the pub recommendation!

- Rebecca, August 2022
Julie June 2022

“This was our first time having a cottage holiday and if this cottage was the usual standard then we would definately do it again.”

The cottage had everything we were likely to need and was very clean.

- Julie, June 2022
Debbie June 2022

“This is our 3rd time staying at Beaver Grove Cottage and we will be returning for years to come.”

We love the cottage, the views, the garden and the fabulous location - ideal for our days out walking. It is one of my ‘happy places’.

- Alex, November 2021
Kevin September 2021

“The cottage is in the grounds of a Manor House and is surrounded by trees and lots of birds and squirrels.”

Within walking distance of the centre of The town via a footpath and a pedestrian bridge over the river. Approx 25 minutes walk. Lots of trails to walk with a dog Within 30 minutes of snowdon (llamberis ) Well worth a stay and I highly recommend this property.

- Kevin, September 2021
Elizabeth September 2021

“We loved the cottage and surrounding gardens, so peaceful There was no one in the other cottage which would have encroached a bit Guests in the darker period of the year need to be aware of the absence of street lighting which would be tricky walking back at night We hope to go again!”

- Elizabeth, September 2021
Mark August 2021

“Lovely original cottage in a fantastic setting, only areas of improvement would be to have a separate toilet as with 5 guests it becomes a challenge with only one bathroom!”

Also would be great to have an enclosed area so the dog could have been allowed in the garden area without any concerns of escape into the surrounding fields! Overall a very enjoyable holiday in a beautiful location.

- Mark, August 2021
Uli August 2021

“Great family holiday with all the activities we could ask for in the vicinity.”

Dogs loved it here, too. Would come back and recommend to others.

Colin July 2021

“A lovely cottage in a secluded location with a friendly and helpful owner nearby”

- Colin, July 2021
Caroline July 2021

“The cottage is in a beautifully set location and extremely private.”

A small private garden area with views of a river and sheep in an adjacent field. Lord to see and do in the area too. All in all a fabulous holiday in a lovely place.

- Caroline, July 2021
Russell June 2021

“The cottage can be difficult to find as the mapping information provided and the what 3 words locator take you to a different cottage further up the road.”

The written directions are accurate though.

- Russell, June 2021

Terence June 2021

“This is our 2nd visit ,lounge window open on a arrival,cobwebs in all rooms,window sills and surrounds disgusting dirty,all pots and pans need replacing badly we have to buy a frying pan,tumble dryer not working properly,clothes airer broken,no washing line or sun canopy as stated in write up,no wash bag for dirty laundry as stated in North Wales maids instruction leaflet.”

We will be emailing mr.Hensley with these complaints.

- Terence, June 2021

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry that the cottage fell short of your expectations regarding cleanliness. Our average cleanliness rating from the 4 other visitors who left feedback this year was 92.5% (15 out of 16) , but clearly there were several issues on this occasion, which we have now addressed. Regarding your other points, we are upgrading the facilities accordingly and thanks once again for your comments. The cottage does not have a washing line or sun canopy and is therefore not advertised as such. Property Owner
Michael June 2021

“Positive: Very clean, great location.”

Would definitely stay there again. Negative The tumble dryer drum does not rotate and thus your clothes don't dry. The clothes rack (as backup) is broken. Important as lots of activities in area involve getting wet and muddy.

- Michael, June 2021

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future. I can also confirm a new tumble dryer is being installed shortly. Property Owner

“Travelled up to BYC for the week celebrating the New Year celebrations.”

Booked Beaver Grove cottage after looking at lots of possibilities but chose this [place due to the look of the place and the location to the town it's self. It's just a short walk of about 12 mins over Sappers suspension footbridge into the station area, head towards the trains and there is a pedestrian foot bridge over the tracks to the town centre. Here you will find a great selection of pubs, restaurants and shops to keep you entertained. Beaver Grove is set in the grounds of another rental property which share the gardens and surrounding grounds. The gardens are not secure to let dogs wander around unsupervised but this was not a problem for our two labs. The cottage is of tiled floor down stairs with a carpeted front room. As it was winter the boot room/front hall way was a god send to get changed out of wet muddy clothes and the wood burner in the lounge was kept well stocked. Dogs are not permitted upstairs which again was not a problem for us, though the dogs were not impressed. There is an external shed for bike storage and you will have to bring your own padlocks to secure the bikes/door though there is nothing to padlock the bikes to inside the shed and the door is very old with a very old chain. I personally locked all the bikes together and to the cycle rack in the shed and was happy with that. Plenty of cycling in the area and the old Marin track just a short ride up the road for a nostalgic MTB ride. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great time riding, walking, running, Zip worlding and eating out. Please remember that once it get dark at Beaver Grove, there are no street lighting till you get to the town as such, so remember torches for evening walks back home from the pub/restaurant or to take dogs out before bed. Great place to stay, will be back.

- Andrew, December 2019
Veronica December 2019

“We loved this place, well equipped and warm .”

Reasonable proximity to shops and pubs. The only thing I would suggest is that it would be nice to have a little fenced around area for dogs.

- Veronica, December 2019
Janet October 2019

“We had a lovely week the dogs loved it.”

We loved it more. Defiantly reccomend this cottage. Defiantly returning next year if it's not fully booked already. Would buy this place if we won the lottery that nice Jan and Phil Ryan

- Janet, October 2019
David October 2019

“Lovely cosy cottage in a stunning and peaceful location.”

Walking distance to Betwys y Coed. Easy access to all major routes through Snowdonia National Park.

- David, October 2019
Margaret September 2019

“We were happy with the location.”

It afforded us the chance to access Snowdonia very easily. We found the house to be a little tired in appearance, there was a distinct smell of dog in the downstairs area of the house. Lovely comfortable bed and we were delighted with the amount of birds feeding outside the living room window. So much so, we actually bought bird food for them whilst we were there.

- Margaret, September 2019
Diane June 2019

“Cottage was lovely in a quiet location but within easy reach of amenities shops pubs etc”

- Diane, June 2019
Naomi May 2019

“The cottage and location was beautiful, however it is not made clear on the description that there is another house SHARING the garden and drive, did have quite a few cars pass the house through the day and late in the evening, was hard to stop our dogs going over the boundary given to us as there was no fence there.”

Otherwise it's in a nice secluded position where you can have a nice walk in the woodland and admire the view.

- Naomi, May 2019
Wouter April 2019

“The location was great: green all around us and we were pleasantly surprised by the well kept grounds with lots of flowers.”

The cottage was closer to the road / Betws-Y-Coed than we expected but that turned out to be pretty convenient (and the road noise was really not bad and therefore not a problem at all). The livingroom was comfy, the kitchen well stocked (although I'd suggest a bit more cutlery and possibly some larger pots and pans) and upstairs the bedrooms and bathroom were clean and well presented. I would certainly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good central location to explore North Wales / Snowdonia: there's so much to discover within a 30 minute drive from Betws, whichever direction you go in you'll find something wonderful.

- Wouter, April 2019
Debbie April 2019

“Beaver Grove Cottage was everything and so much more.”

Great location, great cottage and beautiful views. Only thing missing was a tea towel! We'd definitely recommend.

- Debbie, April 2019

Nicholas August 2018

“The cottage was located in a very quiet wooded area with the sound of the river and birds all that could be heard.”

The area was beautiful and lots of places to explore. The description given was vry good with no unexpected surprises. Would recommend this property to all guests with or without children .

Sharon April 2018

“This is a fantastic place to stay, clean newly decorated and super comfortable, sofa and bed and shower are the best.”

I would definitely be coming again; loved it! Location location location it is in the best location in easy walking to the best village Betws y coed where every one is super helpful. There are sheep and lambs at the end of the garden and the the ever changing river. If there is anything I would improve is the reception on the free view tv and the size of the tv but now I’m being picky. Waterloo hotel in easy reach has some lovely gins especially the orange marmalade aber falls one at less than £4 a shot. What is not to love

- Sharon, April 2018
Katharine March 2018

“Beautiful well-equipped cottage set in gorgeous private grounds on the edge of the village.”

It was ideal for us and the dogs. Great walks and amenities from the village whilst being in a secluded spot overlooking the river.

- Katharine, March 2018
Andrea March 2018

“Really lovely, warm and comfortable cottage with an enviable riverside location away from the main road.”

Also only a short walk into Betws y Coed for all the local shops and cafes. Would highly recommend!

- Andrea, March 2018
Antony January 2018

“Beautiful place to unwind from a maniac festive period where you have the opportunity to be in isolation or within Twenty minutes walk of the bustling town of Betws-y-Coed and all it’s amenities.”

The cottage has all the comforts of home, and has a feel of recent refurb to high specs. You also on the doorstep to all the things Snowdonia has to offer. I would recommend Zip world at Ffestiniog 2 4 1 Monday.

- Antony, January 2018
Simon November 2017

“A lovely cottage, characterful, comfortable and well equipped.”

Great riverside location with wonderful views. Great base for exploring the area. Will definitely be booking again.

- Simon, November 2017
Glen October 2017

“Fantastic cottage in a superb position.”

Nice fully equipped kitchen. Didn't use the fire but it looked nice. Good central heating and plenty of hot water. Comfy sofa. Comfy beds. Nice clean bedding and towels. Instant at home feeling. Superb. Secure storage for bikes could be adapted cheaply to add more security. Can't wait to rent again..

- Glen, October 2017
Sue September 2017

“Had a great time lovely cottage and location.”

Could do with garden chairs and another chair in living room as we where a party of 5 adults felt that we didn't have enough furniture for sitting .

- Sue, September 2017
Marie July 2017

“We loved this cottage and the location.”

The cottage was extremely clean and wasn't cluttered with unnecessary fixtures or furnishings. Good quality towels and bed linen which was so nice as it felt a little like being at home. The owners have worked incredibly hard to make it a lovely place to stay. No WIFI suited us, but I appreciate this would not suit everyone. A good set of garden furniture would have been nice so that we could all sit outside and eat. Overall, absolutely loved it and would definitely come back. Thank you
