“Our Host was amazing!”

He called me the day before we were due to arrive for a chat and to offer some tips. He left a detailed note in the cottage for us to use as a guide for our trip. Things to consider whilst doing the planned walks we had chosen and he threw in a couple of gems which were amazing. We have too little boys who won’t stop saying ‘this is the best holiday ever’, the hosts note had a lot to do with this. Lovely, clean, cosy, cottage for the 4 of us. Would definitely recommend for any young families.

Brilliant location, enough facilities nearby for a week stay, reasonably priced and no hassle booking, logburner was something else

“Thank you for letting us stay in your cottage.”

It was a lovely cosy getaway and just what we needed. We loved every minute of being in the area and didn't get around to seeing everything you recommended but we did do llyn pennuisila which was lovely and lots of walks across the beach. We were very lucky with no rain most days. You have a wonderful cottage and we really did enjoy ourselves and were sad to leave.

“Ideal location for walks and Snowdonia.”

Stunning scenery when the sun shines. Reasonable walking distance to railway station.

“The Owners have made the best place for a week in the mountains.”

There is a small book where you can get idea for the holiday and the general walk around the area. They also send a document when you contact them for the key. The document contains information about the housekeeping but also some information about the surrounding area. the crispy fresh sheets and the clean fully equipped kitchen really sealed the deal (pots, pans grill/oven and a small fridge to store your food) there is manual for everything. We Had to use the fire place, luckily we had one night cold enough. The view is amazing and the cottage is only 30 min walk from the town life where there is a small supermarket and availability to use the steam-train. We did drive to the west coast (20min) for one walk and a superstore grocery collection, but most of the walks are really close by or we took the steam-train. Snowdon is either a 20 min or 40min drive depending on what walk you want to do. if the harder one is up your mark 20 min drive to the foot, if you want a little bit easier/or option for the train the 40min drive to Llanberis is great, on the way back stop in Betws-y-coed and look for the Stables Bar - Y Stablau, great food only £2.50 parking for 4 hours and we got live music. The nights in the cottage were brilliantly romantic and the mornings in the raised garden were fairytale like. 10/10 ***** 100% would rent again.

“We loved every minute of this holiday but I think it would be a push to get 4 adults but fore 2 adults it is perfect”

“A lovely welsh cottage”

We stayed here last week what a wonderful find... Cosy well maintained and everything that we needed.. Fantastic setting yet not to far from Bl Ffestiniog and a few nice walks. Try ty gwyn restaurant in Betws y Coed. The castle chippy in cricieth is a must as well. We enjoyed it so much we are re booking for a break in November

“Beautiful and cosy”

A lovely little cottage ideal for anyone wanting a soy cottage in the heart of beautiful scenery. The cottage is furnished in a lovely homely feel with all the facilities you need especially great cooking facilities. Here are stunning walks right from the front door of the cottage but everywhere you drive is stunning in this part of the world! The cottage is on a main road that cars travel very fast on but it in no way ruins your stay as the road isn't that busy except rush hour. The owner sends a very helpful email with everything you need to know about the cottage and the area which is like a bible to first timers to wales like we were! The wood burner is lovely throwing out the heat and making it extra cosy. We had a fantastic week here and would love to return.

“A great cottage in a beautiful setting.”

This is a comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage. The location is perfect for lovely long walks either up mountains or in beautiful woodland. It is on a fairly busy road but don't let this put you off as we didn't really notice any noise after the 1st day. The owners gave really helpful guidance re walks and places to visit and the locals are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning in the spring!

“cosy little cottage”

Owner was very helpful and emailed loads of info about places to eat where we could take our dog. The cottage suited us perfectly. We went hiking everyday and it was lovely to come back to the nice warm comfortable cottage at the end of the day. Our dog enjoyed her stay as it was nice to be able to just walk behind the cottage or across the road for a morning run! The traffic was abit noisy at times as we're country folk and not used to that! Only 5 minutes to the co-op in Bleneau which was really good and next door to the chip shop which was excellent. Only minor criticism was the lack of a washing line in the little garden. Highly recommend for a couple.

“Cozy cottage in Manod”

We stayed in Manod for 2 weeks and had a lovely time. The cottage is very cozy with a lovely back garden and scenic mountainsviews and green pastures with lots of sheeps. The cottage is situated close to Snowdonia Nationalpark and there are lots of hikingtrails just outside the cottage. The owner and caretaker are very nice and helpful. We can recomend the cottage for your next holiday if you want to experience the best of Wales.

“Weather horrendous but the cottage more than made up for the hea”

Evreything we got to directions and instructions what to do and see were excellent and the cottage was very cosy and the wet weather made it a very welcome home feel and we settled very quickly. The location was superb and very easy to get to other attractions and local shops near by for the basics was really good.The cottage was the best fitted out kitchen with evrey utensil you could wish for we have ever stayed in and the rooms were very cosy and clean.On our stay we even met the owners who were staying next door but one and they were a great couple and nmade us feel very welcome indeed.

During the winter months the superb fireplace houses a wood-burning stove that can transform the cottage into a cosy little snug.
