“This property is in an amazing location, the views are to die for and we absolutely loved that, giving our grandchildren a chance to see the stars like never before, even a shooting star!”

The house is very disabled friendly, including shower room, downstairs bedroom, low worktops, cooker and more. Even the upstairs bedrooms are accessible via the front door, so the full house can be used. Plenty of parking space, beautiful garden with swings, toys and a bbq to entertain the family. Issues were addressed quickly by the friendly owners who live next door.

“Great location, lovely garden for dogs, plenty of parking, however going inside… very unkempt, kitchen very dirty and greasy, a few broken utensils left in draws.”

Bathrooms- lots of mould, in need of repairs, bedrooms- bedbugs in master bedroom, contacted the owner who lives next door and she sent pest control, all ok for one night then found them in the baby cot, had pest control back. The house needs a good clean in all aspects of the rooms. If the house had a deep clean I would stay there again.

“We were to be a party of 7.”

We chose the property due to a 97 year old wheelchair user. Sadly she couldn’t come, in the end there was 3 of us. From an accessibility point of view it’s brilliant. I’m an Occupational therapist and there was space, walk in shower with shower chair/commode. Twin down stairs bedroom. There’s a wheelchair ramp leading to a front door if needed, however there’s a small incline to the back door, which is the main entrance. Spacious kitchen and living room with four comfy sofas. We stayed upstairs and the bedrooms were very comfy too. We didn’t cook, but there’s was everything you needed. We ate out in Llanberis and the food was good. The view is breathtaking and will stay with me forever. The owners live next door, not that you would feel that. Lovely place, impressed by accessibility and really easy to get to Llanberis and north wales.

- Nicola, May 2026

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed feedback. I’m delighted to hear you found the property accessible, comfortable, and well suited to your needs, and that you enjoyed the space, facilities, and stunning views. For ease of access, you can drive down the incline to the rear entrance and park to allow a level transfer into the property. It’s wonderful to know the location worked so well for exploring Llanberis and North Wales, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“Lovely house, with gorgeous views and walks.”

Very close to Llanberis, just a 10 minute drive away. Very well suited for the whole family, adults, children and dogs. We all said we would love to come back.

Zeljomir April 2026

“From the minute we walked in, we felt right at home.”

It was just the two of us with our 3 spaniels, and this property was perfect for us. We did use the fireplace once, but mostly, the weather was too good to justify using it! The property was clean, and the kitchen was really well-appointed aside from the scales (we use them to weigh out the dog food). We also got caught out with the size of the fridge freezer - it looks like a full-sized one, but it's not, it's smaller. As we feed all three dogs on raw food, which needs to be kept frozen, we got a bit caught out. That aside, the stay in the property was very comfortable, the garden is lovely, the views are superb, and the location is absolutely great. There is so much to do locally (Dinorwig Slate Quarry), Padarn Country Park, Llanberis, Snowdon... well, we loved it so much, we've booked to return next April!

“What a wonderful place to stay, we just wished we could have stayed longer.”

Everything we needed and more.

Matthew June 2025

“Thank you for the stay, the house was ideal for what we needed.”

The interior looks better in real life than the photos, although we spent the majority of our time in the back garden which was perfect. loads of parking which was very handy. The kitchen has everything you need for a group of 10.

- Matthew, June 2025
John August 2024

“Shops ain’t 15 mins walk away like the post suggests, more like 45 min walk each way.”

There’s nothing close by (all driving distance) Bathroom windows have mould around them I understand it’s a old building but the mould wasn’t just a little bit, Fridge was mouldy and smelt which we had to clean before using

- John, August 2024
Amanda July 2024

“We had an absolutely amazing time at Glan y Gors.”

We had booked this property last minute after another airbnb fell through. The location was fantastic, only a short drive to Lake Padarn. It was very spacious; more than enough room for our party of 8. The beds were extremely comfortable. They appeared to be brand new, as well as the couches. The place was fully equipped with anything we could have needed for our week stay. Would definitely recommend or book again!

- Amanda, July 2024
Ian March 2024

“Lovely peaceful location, well appointed cottage with log burner, secure garden and new carpets and furniture.”

Would recommend

Jemma October 2023

“The house was dirty and uncared for.”

The sofas were dirty and smelled. The foot stool was broken. The kitchen was dirty especially the fridge and cutlery drawer. The toilet seat upstairs was broken making it uncomfortable to sit on. The bedding in the cot had a blood stain on it. When stripping the beds on departure the quilts and pillows were stained. There was numerous extension cables left on the floor which we felt was a safety hazard, especially with young children around. A number of our party have left with bites on their bodies. The property needs a good clean and to be fully maintained before let to the public.

- Jemma, October 2023
Lynnet September 2023

“The cottage is in a lovely location, and it was nice to find milk in the fridge and flowers & cake on the table.”

However, the house was dusty and grubby, the kitchen especially, with crumbs on the worktop and grease in the grill pan. I felt I needed to wash all utensils and pans before use. The sitting room is shabby, with inadequate lighting so impossible to read in the evening. The shower chair (which wasn't there on arrival as promised but was swiftly brought round) had tyres that were rotting and crumbling off in large chunks. The bedrooms were OK, though we noticed bare wiring in one of the ceiling lights. This was fixed promptly. The accessible bedroom, on the ground floor, smelt damp, and the drawers had a strange smell, as if they had not been aired for ages. The loo seat in the bathroom we used was cracked in two places, making it quite uncomfortable to sit on. The garden is overgrown, and the ramp & steps down to the overlong grass quite restricted by plants. Gutters were broken, and the lift at the front of the property has clearly not been working for many years. The shaving light in the accessible bathroom flashed on and off, so was effectively unusable. The instructions were out of date, and user manuals were either non-existent or hiding on the top of the kitchen units. When we arrived, there was one small hand towel for each of us, and we had to ferret around to find bath towels, which we eventually did behind the sofa, slightly damp. Sadly, the whole place felt uncared for and very poorly maintained.

- Lynnet, September 2023
Jacqueline August 2023

“Filthy unloved property.”

Most of the furniture is not fit for purpose, it is old, well worn and smelly. The kitchen is especially dirty with thick grime around the fridge. A curtain hanging from the sink unit hides further dirt. Cutlery drawer dirty. Sticky kitchen floor. The hearth carpet infront of the fire has curled up edges - a dangerous trip hazard. 3 settees, all smell and all are uncomfortable. The matching cushions need binning, disgusting. The area in front of the property is concreted and worn. The owner hadn't bothered to cut the grass area for us. The 4 poster bed is just that, a bed with 4 posts, no curtains. Carpets throughout are very worn and stained in some areas. Bed linen was clean but very old and worn. Plastic toilet seat so worn that the plastic bits it sits on are protruding through the seat. The disabled room on the ground floor has a curtain in the doorway- next to an external door. I've holidayed in cottages for many, many years and by far, this property is the dirtiest, most uncared for property that I have ever rented. I think the owners must be laughing at renters as they obviously don't care about the service user. I didn't speak directly to the owner. My 92 year old dad was with us and said he didn't want to cause a fuss.

- Jacqueline, August 2023
Richard January 2023

“Great for the price.”

Comfortable, well-equipped. Good location. The new fireplace since last year was a good improvement. Not necessarily the easiest place to find - perhaps providing a what3words, or a dropped pin on google maps would make that easier. Owner responsive on whatsapp to queries prior to stay.

- Richard, January 2023
Zoey December 2022

“Had a lovely Christmas break with all the family.”

The house was decorated so well for us. Stunning views and walks. Lovely open fire. Facilities not to far.

- Zoey, December 2022
Val September 2022

“The accommodation was good and practical for the family and dogs.”

The fire was a plus in the evenings. Kitchen was really good and had ample utensils to to use, to the point we did a Sunday dinner!! Dogs loved the garden and watching the horses and sheep. Welcome pack was lovely, thank you. Our only issues was the cleaning downstairs, understand its a old property, mat in front of fire and damp behind sofa by TV

- Val, September 2022
Hanna April 2022

“Fabulous stay, so comfortable and spacious, wonderful for a young family and dog.”

Lovely garden, the kids adored the play equipment, plus perfect location and stunning views for the adults. We will be back!

- Hanna, April 2022
Richard January 2022

“A good stay, great location for hiking out towards the Ogwen Valley.”

Well equipped place with everything we needed for a weekend. It is not very clear from description but one of the sofas is a sofa bed in the living room which is how it sleeps 12 adults. Plenty of parking - we fitted 6 cars in the parking with no issue. We were all very happy with the price. To improve including some kindling for the fire might be good - and it was trial and error for us to work out which way the vent on the chimney was open / closed. A note would have saved us making it smoky at first! Secondly when we arrived there were some baking trays on top of the oven that were very clearly dirty from a previous occupant. Reflects worse on the previous occupants than the owners - but they could have been spotted and resolved.

- Richard, January 2022
Shelagh September 2021

“It was a lovely traditional feeling cottage, warm and comfortable though some of the furniture was "well-worn.”

" We had a few minor problems, but the owner was helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. It would be useful to have directions from the south as well as from the North, especially as sat nav doesn't help in arriving. (we were warned!)

- Shelagh, September 2021
David September 2021

“Upstairs bedrooms/bathrooms were ok but under the beds had not been cleaned.”

The shower leaked into the living room from the bathroom on the landing. Downstairs bedroom/bathroom unsuitable for my wife and I - inadequate clothes hanging space. Kitchen had not been cleaned thoroughly eg old onion in breadbin! The appliances were of a good standard and we had a good supply of hot water but the arrangement for the electrics feeding the washing machine concerned us. My wife spent the first hour cleaning/disinfecting all the cupboards/surfaces in the kitchen. Living room furniture was shabby to say the least and several items needed repairing. Cobwebs were present and the room smelt musty. All in all, disappointing for the money we paid.

- David, September 2021
Gisele August 2021

“The location is fabulous and the cottage is full of charm and character”

- Gisele, August 2021
Oluyemisi September 2020

“The location has a lot of hidden gems, waterfall side walks, lake very close and great views which was a surprised and not expected from the description given.”

- Oluyemisi, September 2020
Sarah September 2020

“Lovely cottage, lots of space for a big group.”

Clean and comfortable in a lovely location with beautiful views. Originally booked for May but dates easily transferred due to Covid.

- Sarah, September 2020
Gillian August 2019

“The property was very comfortable.”

The disabled facilities were good except one of the single beds was too soft and two low. The kitchen was well-equipped but old and tired. The oven door didn’t shut properly and the fridge was far too small for a family of 8.

- Gillian, August 2019
Janet June 2019

“Sadly this holiday cottage did not live up to our expectations to the extent that we came home a day early.”

The size and the location of the property was what we wanted so no complaints there. We expected an old house and possibly old furniture, however, the whole place inside needs a complete deep clean and de-clutter. The place is dingy and smells damp. The beds have seen better days and the pillows, quilts and bed linen need to be replaced as they are old and marked. An old curtain is used as the door to the downstairs bedroom. We couldn't use the jacuzzi as the mouldy smell in the bathroom was too bad. The garden cannot be used for children to play in as there is an old dilapidated slide and a lot of rubble lying around. The BBQ and patio area are not usable. We took photos of the worst areas but they don't portray our unhappiness and disappointment. This is an unloved, neglected house not a holiday home. We are so disappointed that we rented a property that is so neglected and we feel that we have been ripped off. This house is not worth over £600 for 3 nights (we stayed 2) and ideally we would like our money back.

- Janet, June 2019
Aidan March 2019

“The sofa bed in the living room was very uncomfortable an needs replacing.”

Also, although there was fire-wood provided for the wood-burner, this was damp and there was no kindling wood provided.Finally, more than one roll of toilet paper per bathroom would have been a nice touch. Overall we were happy with the cottage and the location was excellent. A little more attention to detail and fixing the issue with the sofa-bed would have made it excellent..

- Aidan, March 2019
Howell Glyn December 2018

“We loved staying in the property over Christmas and the New Year.”

There was plenty of room for the whole family including older members who could stay on the ground floor. Three bathrooms meant no trouble with blocking and, importantly for the time of year, it was easy to keep the whole house warm!

- Howell Glyn, December 2018
Nesha August 2018

“We had booked the place for 11 of us for hike.”

Suitable for large group. Moreover it was the hospitality from the host that we were impressed with. Lesley was very helpful and flexible in terms of accommodating our needs.

- Nesha, August 2018
Sakshyam June 2018

“The cottage was well presented and equipped with good facilities.”

Kenneth May 2018

“Large property ideal for our family of 10 /mix adults and children Plenty of room for them to play both inside and out.”

The owner was very friendly .Location short drive out of town but not too far to LLanberris for restaurants etc.

- Kenneth, May 2018
A May 2018

“The cottage was comfortable and provided everything we needed - however it needs updating and a deep clean as many parts were scruffy eg shower cubicle in downstairs wetroom, also most curtains appeared grubby and were hanging off the rails.”

Lighting in the sitting room was inadequate with some bulbs not working. Outside areas were a bit overgrown with lots of weeds. No telephone although the details said there was one in the cottage.

- A, May 2018
Rachel March 2018

“Really nice property and friendly owners.”

One of my party tried lighting the fire but it just smoked a lot, house was warm enough was the central heating though. First world problems, couldn't get the internet to work.

- Rachel, March 2018
Mark November 2017

“The property is generally clean, but could do with a deep clean.”

It is getting a little tired in places, but this is reflected in the price. One of the WC's wasn't working. A plumber was apparently coming out, but toilet remained unusable - bit frustrating with a large group. Minor gripes; otherwise comfortable stay

- Mark, November 2017
Janet September 2017

“This was a traditional type of Welsh cottage.”

It's not ultra modern and neither are its facilities but is large, comfortable, clean and warm and had everything we needed. we were very happy in it.

- Janet, September 2017
David August 2017

“Everything was satisfactory except for the lack of towels which was made aware ...”

Everything was satisfactory except for the lack of towels which was made aware the day before,the fridge/freezer had seen better days and a substantial amount of mould under one of the sofas but on the whole a beautiful cottage, location loved it

- David, August 2017
Phil September 2016

- Phil, September 2016
Janet Lindsay June 2016

“The house was very spacious and very well equipped.”

- Janet Lindsay, June 2016
Frederick May 2016

“This property is in an excellent location.”

It is peaceful with great views. I took my large telescope and picked out Jupiter. My disabled nephew was with the group and he had the downstairs bedroom giving him his own wheelchair shower. All of the rooms were exceptional for a holiday let and all in my party loved the cottage.

- Frederick, May 2016
Hayley May 2016

“We had an amazing time at the cottage.”

There was plenty of space for us all. This is the first time any of us have been on a holiday like this one and all of us can't wait to come back again. The owner was lovely and very helpful and the views were spectacular.

- Hayley, May 2016
Marie May 2015

“We had a lovely stay at this cottage .”

The heating was excellent and warmed every part of the house. The view from the back of the house was lovely and the location was great. Three bathrooms was good for our large family and the living room was big enough for us all to be comfortable in. The kitchen had every utensil you could want and the large table easily seated ten and could of squeezed a few more in. On the whole everything was superb.

- Paul, August 2009
Jean August 2009

Lots of room for six adults and six children under six. Ideal position with plenty to do without traveling long distances, lovely beaches, walks and places to visit. Could easily have spent another week there. Lovely weather which always helps!

- Jean, August 2009
Steven May 2009

“We had a really good time in the cottage.”

The location of the property was such that we didn't have to travel very far, as there was more than enough to do in the local town. We would recommend this property to any of our friends. Many thanks for an enjoyable stay.

- Steven, May 2009
Robert March 2009

Well appointed with all you could wish for in creature comforts. The owners had made every attempt to make it inviting, with those little things that make all the differance.

My party enjoyed two and a half days of excellent walking/scrambling on Wales' highest peaks.

- Kenneth, October 2006
Julie July 2006

“The cottage felt so homely straight away, there was no need to settle in.”

It is in the most amazing and stunning countryside and gives a new meaning to peace and quiet, yet is only a short drive away from amenities etc (ie Llamberis). The cottage itself was more than we could have hoped for and easily accomodated all 10 of us.

- Julie, July 2006
Mr Fellingham June 2005

Gillian April 2005

“Cottage was as described, and extremely comfortable and well-equipped.”

The 3 bathrooms made life easier for a large family group. During a cold week we appreciated the efficient heating system, and that heating costs were included. Helpful information was provided about local take-aways and restaurants, including some sample menus. Bedrooms were a good size, with storage facilities. Lovely views.

Ann August 2004

“I would like to say how much my family and I enjoyed our holiday at Glan Y Gors.”

There is so much to do in North Wales and the house made a fine base from which to venture out each day. The bedrooms were excellent in terms of layout and size. There was more than enough storage, mirrors, etc. The cottage offers tremendous peace and quiet.

- Ann, August 2004
Brian July 2004

“We found Dinorwic an ideal place from which to tour northern Snowdonia.”

Glan y Gors lived up to our expectations. There were several good restaurants in nearby Llanberis and the Spar shop in Deinolen was a handy five minutes drive away. The Slate museum and Electric Mountain Power Station were well worth the visit. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend the property to any friends visiting the area.

- Brian, July 2004
Mrs Murphy June 2004

“The cottage was in a nice quiet location with easy access to all tourist locations and routes to other parts of North Wales.”

Excellent information on places to visit and a good variety of places to dine. Comfortable, very well equipped and homely especially for rainy evenings in (of which there were many!!). Finally, the welsh bread and fresh flowers to greet our arrival was a welcome sight.

- Mrs Murphy, June 2004

About the location

LLANBERIS

Caernarfon 7 miles; Bangor 10 miles; Betws-y-Coed 17 miles.

Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a mecca for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year, a triathlon known as the world's toughest, and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26-mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. The area is also popular for mountain biking, open water swimming and stand up paddle boarding. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. Just 7 miles from Llanberis on the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn, Plas Newydd and Bodnant Gardens.
