7 Castle Terrace

I don't normally write bad reviews as I would hate to put something that may affect someone's business.

However, I really wish someone had done this for me as I read so many lovely reviews about this property I arrived and felt quite disappointed. The basement bedroom smelled damp and was dark. The silicone seal in the bathroom was black. At over £1000 per week I would think a pop to b&q for some new sealant would be manageable. Cobwebs lurked on ceilings and in corners. The upstairs bedrooms were nice and the kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. A welcome pack of apple pies, mini cheddars and milk greeted us on our arrival. If you feel triggered by questionable cleanliness and dark, possibly slightly mouldy cottages, this is not the place for you, but if you don't mind those bits i'm sure you'll be pleased with the location and facilities of this let.

We enjoyed our stay at 7 Castle Terrace.

It was well located for the Zipworld sites we attended and a short distance from Ffestiniog Railway. The cottage was very close to the shop and local pub. The off road parking was too tight for our vehicles so we parked on the road. I believe dogs are allowed to stay at this property and because we no longer have dogs, we have regained an awareness of doggy aromas, especially on throws. However the property was clean and the facilities were good. This property was also good value for money. The children loved it.

7 castle terrace has it all…….

.from the second you open the door you are greeted with a cottage full of both character and stunning decor. The location is perfect and close to zip world, snowdonia and betswy coed with a club and a shopping the village you have what you need on your doorstep. Defiantly will not be our last time staying here and would highly recommend it

Very comfortable cottage.

The standard of everything is excellent. We had excellent nights sleeps . Will highly recommend to friends and hope to be back.

Lovely cottage, parking for 2 vehicles at the front.

Very deceiving in looks this property is like a tardis we loved it! Everything you need for a group of 6 adults plus a good sized garden at the back for our dog and walks nearby. Shop down the road with everything you need, local pub very welcoming steak pie is a must and they are dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Beautiful house in a lovely quiet town.

Plenty of room for us all with 2 king beds and 1 twin room. Had everything we needed and the garden was lovely, but we couldn't enjoy it for the time we were there. Central location for lovely walks, could even walk through the field to see lambs fairly close, and quick drives to 2 of the Zip World locations. The local Spar shop had supplies and we didn't try out the local pubs as we dined in. Had a lovely stay.

Family of 2 adults, 4 grown up children and a small dog.

Perfect layout and plenty of room. Had everything we needed and more. Surrounding area is beautiful and the local pub was fantastic, and the landlord fun and friendly! Great locations for snowdon and waterfalls. Definitely will book again ! Made our Christmas

It was a real delight when we entered.

Looked lovely. The dining room table with setup and it looked inviting. All the facilities were there that you needed for a wonderful stay. We had a couple of issues but nothing important but was quickly resolved by phoning the company and was passed on to the owner who resolved the problems quickly. Overall a wonderful stay Cottage is lovely and cozy we didn't get to enjoy the Garden area even though it looked lovely as the weather wasn't that kind to us.

We had a wonderful week in Dolwyddelan, and with lovely and quite unexpected weather.

The house was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, with good quality things. We are a family of five (two adults and three older teenagers) and a dog, and didn’t feel cramped at all. Also plenty of hot water! The garden was great for our dog and we enjoyed being able to walk straight out of the house (to the local castle and also both behind the house and across the river into forestry land where we could let the dog off the lead). The house isalso well positioned for lots of other trips all over Snowdonia and Anglesey . The only thing missing was perhaps a washing line, particularly for swimming towels, etc. (There is a washer dryer, but we’d prefer to dry them outside particulalry in such glorious sunshine.) Thanks you again.

Nice cottage in a lovely village.

Plenty of room for an extended family. The only downside was bathroom on ground floor lots of steps into and outside of property. Maintenance issues light bulbs not working leak on the chimney of log burner and the remote for tv even when we bought new batteries was very hard to work. No compostable bags for food waste supplied. Minor issues but need sorting. The village had a good spar with friendly staff. A brilliant pub which we used most evenings and a hotel serving food and drinks . Lovely walks from cottage . Enjoyed our holiday very much

Great place to stay , we found it was a good location for lots of places to go , the people in the village are friendly and helpful, the pub was very welcoming and food was great , the cottage itself was clean , comfortable and really nice place to stay and it's added bonus was the garden which was lovely we enjoyed sitting in it to have breakfast and the summer house inthe evening

This is a great base for things to do in the north of wales and is in a great village.

The house had all we needed and was comfortable enough for 4 of us. We felt the house was a little cold at first but once we got the burner going it was ok. Unfortunately we left some food in a cupboard by mistake but we informed Sykes and they said it wasn’t a problem. The house had parking and a good size garden for the dog, and the beds were comfortable

Fully Loaded & Great location.

...... Fantastic base to explore the region. We didn't find ourselves wanting for anything, If you stop in cottages a lot like we do you will know you always need something, be this a pizza cutter or just some cling film. Attention to detail for the little extras makes the difference here as we had everything we needed, the welcome pack was a nice touch. within ten minutes you can find all the shops you need and the best of Zip World locations, Forest Coaster highly recommended :0) The local Morrisons will also accept your Amazon deliveries if you forget anything like we did.

This place is so cozy and relaxing, I haven't stayed somewhere this nice in ages!

The house is great and well kept. Even though it's on a main road, you can barely hear the traffic. There are some nice walks nearby, and the nearest town is just a 10-minute drive.

The cottage was lovely, had everything we needed for a lovely week away.

The beds were so comfortable- welcomed after a long day hiking snowdon! My only issue was the amount of dog mess in the garden not picked up by previous guests. (not owners fault) The broken bathroom lights were fixed within 24 hours - excellent service and communication with the owner.

lovely cottage, well equipped and comfy beds.

However no lock on ground floor bathroom and fire seal needs fixing

Nice clean cottage, lovely garden and very comfy beds.

Parking for 1 car good. Kitchen well stocked with decent sized mugs and glasses which we don't often find. Would give higher rating but for the bathroom which is tired, lots of hot water but cold tap seized. Good location for exploring Snowdonia.

Super comfy beds , well equipped kitchen it had everything we needed , great location, beautiful walks from the property and 10mins from the train station with regular inexpensive trains to Betws-y-Coed and Llandudno.

Would love to return in the summer to make use of the beautiful garden. Would definitely recommend

The property was lovely and clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely weeks stay.

We did have problems sorting the TV when we first arrived, as we couldn't get freesat to work, eventually sorted it but more by luck than anything else. We also couldn't get the heating to boost when the timer had finished, so it did go a little chilly in the evening but the lovely blankets were enough to keep us warm until bedtime. Overall we had a lovely week and would definitely recommend.

Great property in excellent location.

Well maintained and appointed. Helpful Skyes staff as always, a great cottage.

Nice and warm property, but some real effort needs to be invested in the bathrooms and especially the gardens front and back.

We were able to fit two SUVs into the parking spaces, at a push. It was obvious the gardens hadn’t been tended to in a long time. The steps to fhe garden were very slippery when wet and meant you had to be incredibly cautious when going down them. The village is lovely and the nearby walks are stunning. A beautiful part of the national park.

Overall a pleasant stay but not without some issues.

The owner was contacted and tried to resolve these issues but was unable to do so during our stay.

The cottage was very comfortable and in a delightful location - we had some fantastic days out, including a walk straight from the house.

We'd wanted castles and walks and we got plenty of both. We only used the two double bedrooms in the end, as one of our party couldn't make the trip. The lower bedroom was quite cold, but very spacious. The upper double bedroom was lovely. We were grateful for a previous reviewer suggesting it was best to back into the parking space. Definitely the way to go.

Would have liked to have been able to access a vacuum cleaner as we had a hairy dog with us.

Would have liked to have been able to hoover during our stay and before we left the property. Other than this, can't fault it. Thank you for a lovely stay with great amenities in a lovely friendly village location. Hope to visit again.

Great cottage with all facilities we needed.

This cottage is highly decorated and tastefully done the beds were really comfortable and the owners was a pleasure to talk to over a small matter we had whilst staying there.

There is a beautiful walk which we went on in the village and the views were exceptional. Whilst staying at the cottage we visited several different locations and enjoyed everyone of them with our two dogs absolutely loved it here and we would definitely go back and revisit other places whilst being comfortable and cozy at this location .

The house was really beautifully decorated and well equipped.

The beds were very comfortable. It was a good location for our holiday. Our main issue was the heating. Upon arrival the house was freezing and we had to wait for the set times of the heating to come on so needed to go get firewood to light the fire for warmth. On the Saturday morning the heating didn’t come on so we had to contact the house manager who did quickly tell us how to get the boiler going again but meant the house again was very cold. On arriving home from a walk where we got cold and wet - the house was cold as the set heating hadn’t come on. If you are paying for a weekend away too don’t want to have set times for heating or at least need a clear override button. Our children are up early and were cold. The shower in the basement bathroom was too hot and couldn’t be used. So whilst it was such a lovely house I’d be reluctant to return due to the heating issues.

This is a luxurious cottage in a quaint little village.

It has everything you need for a very comfy stay. We had an issue with the boiler so had to text the management company. They were brilliant and got the issue sorted quickly for us. Another plus point. We would definitely like to go back. Ot is 30 mins drive from Mount Snowden and a similar drive to Zip World. The Spar shop nearby is super expensive so if you have the option, stop in at the supermarket in Llangollen, an hour to the East, and stock up.

we have just come back from a lovely stay at this cottage.

Would highly recommened it. The description of the cottage is very accurate, it was clean and tidy and very comfortable. Perfectly situated for hiking and visiting all of Snowdonia. Walks available from the doorstep. The village is small and not much in the Spar shop, but Bewys-y-Coed only a 10 minuite drive away. There was a lovely restaurant in the village , just a 5 minute walk from the cottage called Ellens Castle and a lovely Pizza place in Betwys-y-coed which we used twice for takeaways. The only minor thing I would mention is the parking. In the photo, the space looks very big but in fact its very tight for 2 cars, and you have to reverse in or it could end up being quite dangerous, if you tried to reverse out on your own. But that aside I would definitley use this cottage again.

Property is very cosy and all needs covered ,situated ideally for surrounding areas to access easily .

Beds we’re very comfortable

We loved our stay.

Thank you so much for hosting.

The interior of the house was fine, good facilities, clean and bedrooms were comfortable.

No problems. The big contrast is the exterior of the property. The front and rear gardens are badly in need of some TLC. The rear garden is very overgrown, the steps to garden desperately need painting, the patio area is full of weeds and the adjacent summerhouse was very dirty and not at all inviting! A few hours concerted effort in the garden areas would improve the overall experience at 7 Castle Terrace.

Accommodation absolutely superb being comfortable and cosy with everything one needs.

Location very scenic and convenient with close access to the Spar and hotel. The hotel is a good night out and is recommended for it's food and friendly atmosphere. This cottage is ideally situated for easy access to the the beautiful beaches and places of interest all within in a short drive. This cottage definitely comes highly recommended and we hope to be back again.

Cottage was fantastic could have just needed a toilet upstairs with bedrooms

Property is in a great location with access to a pub, hotel and local shop.

Property was clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The beds are so comfy and have luxurious duvets albeit they were a bit hot for me. We had an issue with the central heating - it was 4:30 on NYE and I called Sykes and fortunately someone answered and said they would call the owner. Within 10 mins, I had a call from the owner who tried to help. It was only then I recalled we had a very brief power cut the night before so he talked me through resetting the boiler. He was so helpful and I was grateful for his prompt response as we had a baby with us. On leaving the property, one of our party also left a charger behind and on contacting the owner, he very kindly agreed to send it on. I would recommend this property and would stay again.

Stayed at the cottage with my wife and daughter and had a great stay.

A small issue at the cottage was sorted immediately by the owner Dan and great communication. The cottage well exceeded the adverts pictures and it's a lovely ,spacious, well equipped,comfortable and well thought out living space.

Lovely cottage and perfect location.

Down stairs room smelt damp and was unable to get rid of smell but everything was super clean.

Cosy well equipped house in a beautiful village.

An issue early on with the shower and heating was quickly and efficiently dealt with by the owner.

Really nice clean high quality place just lovely

Everything about the cottage and our stay was great, very comfortable and fantastic location for exploring Snowdonia - would definitely recommend

Fully equipped, fantastic cottage in a great location.

Great views, nice walks from your front door. Will definitely return.

An amazing cottage in a superb location.

We stayed here for a week and had a brilliant time. The cottage had everything we needed and more; it was clean, fresh and comfortable and also had a great outdoor garden space to enjoy the sun. The location was excellent and had a shop within a 2-minute walk, a castle with fantastic views only a 15 minute walk away, a local train station plus a pub and restaurant all within a 5 minute walk away. There were also plenty of good walking trails around. It was also ideal for short car journeys to Betws Y Coed, Conwy and Portmeirion. I would highly recommend this cottage and hope to come back again at some point

Had a problem with the TV but the Owners agent and the owner were soon on site and an engineered called replace damaged part all okay.

An excellent response and the gift delivered to us from the owner to apologise for the inconvenience was greatly appreciated. Will us this cottage again on our next visit. Great facilities and very high spec of fixtures and furniture.

The cottage is ideally situated and has stunning views all around.

It was immaculate throughout and very well equipped. A lovely welcome pack was left with milk, bread, scones and crisps. The owners have obviously taken time and planning and great expense to make the cottage as comfortable as can be, and have made a beautiful job of it. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would 100% return.

Everything was great.

No hassle, very straightforward booking, clear instructions on what to expect and property exactly as described. Spotlessley clean, welcoming, down to milk and scones and very comfortable. Just what we needed. Will book again soon.
