“Lovely little cottage.”

Very clean and comfortable. The only downside is the parking difficulties. Parking is in the market square where there are restrictions. There are two spaces opposite the pub with no restrictions but these are more often than not already taken.

“Really enjoyed the cottage as did the grandchildren, would have given the facilities top grade if the yard had been better, realise it is a shared facility but if it could be re-laid and had some nice seats and a few potted plants it would have enhanced the experience even if it were not used to sit in but just to look at.”

- Mr Mcdonnell, August 2020
“Super location.”

“Great accommodation good position only negatives is the hot water or lack of it ...”

Great accommodation good position only negatives is the hot water or lack of it running out halfway through shower also back yard area is shared however it’s dirty has rubbish no effort too make it clean such a shame also pic bit misleading if outside area all this said it’s a very warm clean well equipped place too stay and close too shops a great base

- Mr Abbott, September 2019

I am sorry about the water situation. I did not receive a call about this otherwise I would've been swift to respond. The boiler has actually now been replaced and the problem is solved. Unfortunately, the outside space is not shared - it does not belong to us at all. We have made that clear in our literature but I have recently adjusted to make that even clearer. With kindest regards, Sam. Owner relations
“Although the cottage was cleaner than the last reviews stated - it felt very over priced compared to others we’ve hired.”

The new fence at the front and lack of a line of red roses felt like a bit of a swizz. 1 toilet roll for 6 people wasn’t ever going to be enough. The back yard was awful not even the dog wanted to go to the toilet out there...sharp rubbish and a shared space with the other cottage. Then the shower didn’t run hot for more than a minute at a time which was awful, 6 people having a bath just isn’t acceptable or feasible. Bedside lamps hadn’t been fixed. But location was good for amenities and car park by the riverside walk was safe, the toy castle went down well with the children. Offered flexible nights, was close to everything we wanted to do. If the weather had been miserable I expect the review would have been worse...it was definitely much smaller than the photos appeared.

- Mrs Jacques, June 2019

I was as sad as you to learn that our neighbour had erected a fence along the rose bed without any consultation. We are hoping this will be removed shortly as it has impacted greatly on the delightful mews and our little cottage generally. I am sorry the hot water supply was erratic. The plumber has since rectified this problem and, indeed, a brand new boiler was installed. The back yard does not belong to us so we have very limited ability to manage that space I'm afraid. This was clear in the initial booking. Please accept my sincere apologies for these disappointments. You will doubtless have noticed a much brighter picture from our Visitor book inside which has glowing reviews. Kindest regards, Sam. Owner relations
“The accommodation did not appear to have been cleaned.”

The whole place needed a hoover, and when I wiped the kitchen floor, the tissue came up black, indicating that the floors downstairs needed a clean. I had to clean the fridge which had a spillage of something red, through all of the door shelves and an old milk carton dated 10th May. I also had to clean the kitchen surfaces which were covered in crumbs, and the bathroom which had hair around the sink, and the toilet had not been cleaned under the seat. The beds in the twin and bunk room, looked like they had been slept in, hairs on pillows and sheets and smelt stale, so we made fresh beds for the children using linen from the downstairs cupboard. No bulb in one bedside table and the another did not work despite having a bulb. We were a little disappointed with the description which implied a magical little cottage behind a secret doorway when in reality it was an old doorway leading to a narrow alley where we were met with the smell of fish from the bins. I am disappointed that I had to spend the first couple of hours sorting and cleaning the house before we felt comfortable to stay. I have discussed this with John and would like some sort of compensation for the inconvenience. Apologies I think I may have forgotten to empty the last bits from the fridge as we left. I hope that someone might actually clean the cottage before the next guests and so remove these items, so that the next guests do not have to deal with them.

- Ms Ellis, May 2019

I was desperately unhappy to read this as you will have seen from the entries in our Visitor book that Gwydir Cottages has a reputation for impeccable cleanliness. There does seem to have been a total breakdown of communication with the housekeeper on this occasions for which I cannot apologise enough. You are correct to request a refund for this error which I am assured will not happen again. Sam. Owner relations
“We felt that by comparison with other cottages that we have rented from other companies that this was expensive .”

The surroundings were not wholly to our liking, the use of a clothes line in a yard and surrounded by concrete and roofs and walls, but it was quiet and convenient for the lovely little town, so we were happy.

- Michael Kemp,
“The cottage was delightful and immaculate.”

There were some lovely touches that made us feel very welcome. And the location, tucked out of the way in the town centre was perfect - walking distance to everywhere in town.

- Neil Dixon,
“A nice cosy cottage with more room than one would expect.”

In a good position for getting to the sites and mountains, and with a good SPAR and CO OP in the town.Nice kitchen for cooking though could do with a slightly bigger saucepan had to use 2 small ones when cooking pasta for us all.

Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
