    “This property was not clean ; it still had the previous occupants bedding and towels which had been used and were dirty the floors were also disgusting.”

    You have to cross a railway line to get to the front door. Stay here at your peril!!

    Unfortunately, the cleaner was not aware of this visit, and therefore did not clean before the guest arrived. This is of course very regrettable. As soon as I heard there was a problem, I arranged for a cleaner to come to the house immediately. However the guest decided to leave before I had a chance to fix the problem. I nevertheless issued a full refund. As a result of this unfortunate miscommunication with the cleaner, we have implemented a new system of email and text notification for every visit, so this sort of problem will not happen again. The cottage borders the Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam railway, which is a great asset which most visitors absolutely love. The garden is secure, so please don't let this put you off visiting. You can also access the house without using the pedestrian crossing if you prefer. Property Owner
