“Lovely trip and surrounding area is fantastic, the scenery is something else.”

Cottage was everything expected and a little better in some ways, and not great in others. Outside was a little difficult especially for small dog, with the steps especially in rain. Winter would make this worse. And the bed upstairs are very very small. My children of 9 and 13 slept in the singles, with me and my partner in the double. But it was a very small double I'm only 6ft and my legs came off the end of the bed and too small to roll over in. So most nights I had a bad back and slept ...

But it was a very small double I'm only 6ft and my legs came off the end of the bed and too small to roll over in. So most nights I had a bad back and slept maybe 2 or 3 hours. One night I got in bed at 8pm and still only got 3 hours sleep. Bed really isn't good enough. But other than that really nice and a brilliant time. Handbook that they had in the cottage was really helpful.

“This cottage is in a good location to explore the local area and the views are gorgeous.”

There are local shops nearby for essentials. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage. Crockery / Cutlery was dirty / stained, dirty cloths were left in the kitchen, the extractor and cupboard door handles were greasy/dirty, the shower drain was dirty / stained and did not drain well. The towels that were made available were in need of repair. Overall the cottage felt quite rundown and in need of a good clean and some TLC, which is a real shame as it could be lovely. It was a nice touch having some milk and fire wood on arrival though.

“Warm, comfortable and cosy cottage.”

Enjoyed our stay. WiFi would be an advantage as little to no mobile reception inside cottage.

“The mattress on the bed in the master bedroom wasn't in a good condition and led to a back-ache on the first night.”

Aside of that, the property is maintained really well and its also located at an appropriate distance from most of the attractions.

“It really needs a proper deep clean, and a lick of paint.”

The downstairs area was particularly dirty: it felt it hadn’t been cleaned properly in a long time. Kitchen door and surfaces were sticky, pillows in sofa smelled. A shame because it could be a really nice cottage with a bit more TLC

“Lovely stay in this cosy cottage.”

Stunning walks straight from the door. Close enough to conveniences, but nice to be on the edge of town. Provision of basics, milk, tea, coffee...etc was appreciated. Very interesting to read about the history of the cottages and the surrounding area.

“The cottage was accurately described in the listing.”

It was clean and comfortable with pleasant neutral decor. The log burner was fantastic, especially as it was snowing when we arrived! I would say however that there was only three logs and half a box of matches so we had to go out to get more logs soon after we arrived. The kitchen was very well equipped and everything was in good working order however I would say it is in need of an upgrade, coating was peeling from the cupboard fronts in some places. The bathroom was clean and in good working order however I would say that it may be in need of a upgrade in the not too distant future. Bedrooms were very comfortable and well appointed however the pillows left a little to be desired, could do with an update. The views from the front bedroom window in particular are fantastic! The location was great, very easy to find as on the main road in Blaenau. Close to shops and amenities and a great base for exploring the Snowdonia Hills. Overall we had a fab stay and we would stay again.

Great location, nice and cosy little spot, this place really needs WiFi though, no reception at all on phone so WiFi would’ve been a big help
Mr O'keeffe October 2018

“Tan-y-Rhos was exactly what we needed: cosy and quiet, but within easy reach of the shops in Blaenau Ffestiniog.”

It's a great base for exploring Snowdonia and the wider region, with some lovely drives before you put your walking boots on... The house was well equipped and the beds comfortable. We'd certainly consider coming again!
