Preswylfa

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

It was comfy, clean and really well equipped. The back garden does need some tlc as the garden furniture was unusable. But our stay was very enjoyable.

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a stunning location.

Easy parking right outside every day. Nice garden for the dog to enjoy. Great location for visiting this area of Wales. Only slight negative, was that although we knew the stairs were steep and the bathroom was downstairs before booking, the depth of the stairs was quite shallow which made night time visits to the bathroom a little precarious. (The bottom of the oven could also have done with a good clean, but easily remedied).

Preswylfa was exactly what we needed.

We always look for a cottage nothing like home (Edinburgh City) and this had the view and accompanying sheep sounds, a friendly village pub and some good dog walks. The cottage itself was larger than we expected with an incredibly well kitted out kitchen, with instructions for every appliance, and a very cosy lounge with a good TV (kept our teen occupied). We used the open fire one soggy day and used the bench at the top of the garden for morning coffee. The beds were very comfortable, there were lots of hangers in the wardrobe and space for our clothes. Our dog felt very welcome too and the garden is entirely enclosed. We parked outside each time, there's lots of space and friendly neighbours. The stairs might be an issue for some but we got used to them quickly enough. We would definitely recommend Preswylfa to friends who like walking and getting away from it all.

We had a great time at this cosy cottage in a beautiful wales village.

The property is well furnished and ideal for a small family - especially if you want to prepare meals for the children. Stairs to the bedroom are slightly steep, so have to be vigilant. All in all a comfortable stay. Ideal location, If you want to wake up to views of sheep grazing on beautiful Meadows and snowdonia mountain range in the backdrop.

This little cottage was perfectly placed for our stay in the Snowdonia National Park with easy access to so many places, and good walks from the front door.

It was a perfect size for 4 adults and a little dog. It was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We used the open fire on a couple of cooler nights and it felt so cosy. The bedrooms were a good size and the beds comfortable. We used the shower room as a dry room after very wet days, as the heated towel rail in there heated the room up very well too, so it was a good drying space. All in all, we were very happy with it as it suited us well, and we wouldn't hesitate to come again.

Really cosy cottage.

... much appreciated after a stunning local hike.

Nice cottage tv difficult to deal with front door sticks but we enjoyed our week

A lovely and deceptively spacious mid terraced cottage.

Perfectly situated to explore Snowdonia. Bed was very comfortable, loved the garden with seating at the front and the back garden to enjoy the sunshine.

The house has lots of potential with a lovely kitchen that has all amenities, beds that were nice and comfy and duvets were a high enough tog that you stayed warm at night, but sadly for us it wasn’t a practical place to stay for 5 nights and I would not recommend staying here in the winter.

Understandably, staying during a storm is going to create challenges - there were a couple of leaks in the house which we lived with and the internet was down for a day and a half with no signal in the house (there’s only so many monopoly games you can play). The house also only has electric heaters, and with it being minus temperatures outside it took 3 days to get the house reasonably warm. It’s also a very breezy house with a draft blowing throughout the majority of rooms and frustratingly the door to the living room does not have a handle and therefore would blow open every few minutes even with bits of furniture barricading the door. This meant it was really difficult to keep the only enclosed room warm. The front door is also not very practical for winter, it’s just an internal glass door with storm doors protecting it, again, didn’t do much for keeping the storm out. Again, lots of potential but sadly our stay wasn’t as enjoyable as we hoped.

The view was lovely, as were the neighbours.

The cottage was comfortable and had most of what we needed. We were warned about the bathroom, but I didn’t like the floor which got quite wet when using the shower and the water didn’t drain from the shower tray which left you standing in dirty water. Yuck. A better mop would help. Overall we were happy with our stay.

We are a family of four (2 children aged 14 and 11) and we loved the cottage.

Very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, we cooked several times during the week and had everything we needed. Loved playing the games in the cottage as well as flicking though the books left there. Great that you can watch your own streaming services on the TV for a cosy night in. The location is great and the views are outstanding. We loved the community run pub in the village too and the neighbours are super friendly and helpful. The only thing I would have liked to be different would be the ability to move the twin beds further apart from one another.

The property was lovely, comfy and had all the appliances and kitchen stuff you could want.

Would have liked some instructions on using oven, microwave and w/machine. Would have been good to have had a couple of comfy chairs and an umbrella for the garden. None the less we had a wonderful week and the cottage was perfect for all the places we visited.

This is a lovely cottage in a very quiet location (rush hour seemed to be a couple of sheep walking past in the morning), and a great location for visiting other areas.

Nothing is too far away. The cottage is fully equipped with all the basics you might need and more! We didn't use the open fire as there was only a couple of logs provided and we couldn't find anywhere easily to buy more while we were out but the cottage is nice and warm from the electric heating anyway, especially if you close the lounge door while you're relaxing in the evening. The bathroom is quite small and it's a bit tight to manoeuvre so may not be suited to anyone with mobility issues, but it is clean and nicely maintained. It was the perfect place for a break for two adults. I'm not sure it would be very well suited for small children as the stairs are quite tricky and the bathroom is downstairs but I'm sure older children would manage just fine. We would happily book this cottage again.

What a beautifully renovated clean, cosy, well equipped old miner's cottage.

Fabulous location (with lovely neighbours both sides) and spoilt for choice with activities and stunning views around every corner. This stunning property has everything you need and more. The most comfortable bed I've slept in too (and I rarely sleep well away from home). Would definitely return. Thanks to the owners for creating such a stunning holiday let!

Couple of little touch’s from previously using Sykes Cottages which would be a nice addition at Preswylfa.

Tea, coffee, milk and bread left for each guest Bigger towels One lot of wood and kindling made available for fire Overall all a lovely place and well situated for Zipworld, Portmerion and Portmadog which are all worth a visit, hence the good ratings.

This is a lovely well-equipped cottage with lots of nice touches like fleecy blankets and good books.

The only think missing was a hairdryer. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to equip it nicely. Our only concerns about the cottage were the very steep stairs, which felt quite dangerous when popping down half-asleep in the night to visit the bathroom & I wondered if a rope banister might make them more secure? Also, to make the stairs safer we left a light on downstairs overnight but that meant the bedroom was too bright, so maybe a curtain or blind could be added for the stained glass window?
