Dinas Noddfa

Great house!

Perfect accommodaties for six adults. 9.5/10. Add some sun loungers and some bigger pots & pans and the house is a 10/10! We'll be back!

Dinas Noddfa is a great house for a family get-together.

It is spacious, both inside and out, and set in a beautiful location in Snowdonia, not far from Beddgelert. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found plenty to do in the area, from walks to swims to sightseeing.

Wonderful location… peaceful, calm and well equipped!

Stunning views over the lake and mountains with a lot to see in the area. We had a great holiday.. thank you!

We had a lovely time even though the weather was pretty wet.

The views are fabulous and change by minute, we spent many hours just looking. The wood burner was excellent and added to the cosiness. As the weather was wet it would have been nice to access catch up TV, if we had thought we would have taken a laptop and cable.

Our second visit to this lovely property and another wonderful week was had, Dinas Noddfa is a lovely spacious property with great views, very quiet and perfectly placed for walking in the heart of Snowdonia,

Lovely spacious house with a brilliant view over the lake.

Had a couple of issues - the floor in the entrance and downstairs bathroom was really sticky and we had issues trying to close/lock the door from the kitchen leading to outside - so much so we didn’t use it again. The main disappointment was the living room furniture - two chairs had badly stained arm rests and the others looks very worn and also very grubby. None of this affected our holiday though - we had fantastic days out exploring! The Watkin path is only a very short drive away, as well as a lovely walk the other side of the lake. Looking forward to returning next year!

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary with a truly unforgettable holiday.

It was a week of heavenly rest in a place that felt nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, everything was peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly suited for relaxation. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and left feeling refreshed, grateful, and full of wonderful memories. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special escape.

Lovely house in ideal setting.

Always warm and welcoming. Some maintenance needed to the brass door and window fixtures but this did not distract from the holiday .

Stunning location.

Property very spacious and comfortable. We enjoy walking so perfect for local walks directly from the property including the ascent of Snowdon via the Watkins Path which we found out to be the hardest route to the top! No local shops so had a Tesco delivery booked for the day we arrived which proved essential. Little item to mention was the door into the front garden was difficult to lock but it probably only needs a small amount plaining off the bottom of the door to fit properly. Also the Stag's head on the staircase was a shock but it does go with the character of the property! Would definitely be tempted to return just for the superb location and views. Good value for money considering the size, comfort and location.

This was our second stay and we talked about returning for a third time before it was even over!

We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was very kind and helpful. We stayed in many houses and cottages for holiday across the British countryside and this is by far the best. The lakeside location is perfect and offers a little something for everyone, it's also a relatively short drive away from amenities. Overall I can't recommend it enough whether you're looking for fishing, swimming, mountains hikes or just breathtaking views.

Overall Dinas Noddfa provided us with a great holiday.

We had an issue with the fridge freezer that the owner fixed the same day - (fantastic response from the owner) The outside door from the dining area was incredibly difficult to close and lock so we didn't use. (This was the same on our visit last year.) However, apart from these 2 issues the house is located in a fantastic position over-looking the lake and provides great accommodation for 6 people. The only thing missing is an outdoor BBQ.

Had issues with keysafe.

Needs maintenance or renew. We had 6 staying for 3 nights - lack of toilet paper. House was beautiful, comfortable, spacious and in a stunning location. We are a locally based family. This wkend was our daughters wedding at Llyn Gwynant Barns. Super convenient

A really lovely holiday property in the most stunningly beautiful area.

The nearby village shop provides all the basics. The perfect place for relaxation and enjoyment of a beautiful part of North Wales.

The house was perfect for us as an extended family staying for New Year.

The house was very comfortable, furnished to a high standard and everything we needed was on hand. Private and quiet with amazing views of the lake and mountains from every room.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Snowdonia.

Beautiful views across the lake. The house is in a fantastic position for views. A beautifully decorated property with all the equipment you need. The grounds outside the property are well maintained and lovely to walk around.

This house is one of a kind.

The photos don't do it justice. The views are something you never get tired of. The walks around the lake are stunning. We had the best time here. We never used the dining room as you couldn't beat the view from the kitchen....we thought this room would be better used as another bedroom or a games room or something?! Just a suggestion, maybe other guests used it. Will definitely come back of we get chance. Amazing place

An absolutely beautiful property in the most stunning location.

Well appointed and had everything we needed. A short drive to Beddgelert which is just beautiful - kids loved the ice cream shop there, we had a lovely meal at Bistro Hebog and enjoyed our walks up the river. Would happily recommend and will miss those views over the lake

This is a beautiful property and the location is stunning.

Very clean and well stocked. Lovely walks and not far from all the places we wanted to visit. There is a lovely walk around the lake, you have to walk along the road for a while but worth it. We enjoyed our visit very much. The only downsides for us was the lack of comfortable chairs to sit on outside, it would have been nice to sit outside and enjoy the view. Also, a bbq would have been good to have. Overall, a lovely holiday was had.

Beautiful well maintained house with easy access.

Stunning views over the lake with good access to walks. Every bedroom having it's own ensuite bathroom was fantastic. We will be returning !

Dinas Noddfa is the most wonderful holiday house we have stayed in.

The location is amazing, with fabulous views of the lake and mountains from every window. The house is very well equipped for 6 people and very comfortable. Kayaking was so easy from the house as the Lake is just across the road and our family had a great time paddling down the lake and down the River Glaslyn. The Watkins path up Snowdon is very close. This is a perfect place for anyone who loves mountains and kayaking.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location.

We had a wonderful holiday.

Just a wonderful house and location.

Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. It’s our second visit and won’t be our last!

For us, Dinas Noddfa was well nigh perfect.

The place is large, well-appointed, in its own grounds, no near neighbours, with a stunning outlook across the lake to the hills beyond. There's no mobile phone signal but the property has wifi/broadband. TV is via FreeSat with a few stations missing. (We couldn't get BBC2). The nearest vilage, Beddgelert, has a village shop and several good eateries. One of the main paths up Yr Wdffa (Mount Snowdon), the Watkin Path, starts just a few hundred yards from the house. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday.

We really enjoyed our holiday.

The house was great, it had everything we needed, and lots of space for the 5 of us. The views of the lake and mountains were amazing. We loved the easy access to the lake from the house. I would definitely recommend at stay at this house, and we have already booked for next year!!

Amazing place can’t wait to come back again coming back next year

Amazing thank you.

We had a wonderful two weeks in Dinas Noddfa.

The house is superb - most comfortable and very well equipped. The view from the windows over the lake and hills is stunningly beautiful, with lovely walks and villages all around. 10 out of 10.

This is easily one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in.

Spacious, comfortable and warm, we had everything we needed plus the superb location and view to top it off. The property is well furnished and equipped and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Another wonderful stay.

Outstanding.

The panoramic, incredible views from every window just make this THE place to stay if you want to see Snowdonia in all its glory from the comfort of your cosy holiday home! The house was so clean, sparkling even. And we were welcomed with flowers /cake on arrival! Fully equipped Kitchen, logs for the fire and candles added to the extra homely feel. We hardly do family holidays but we said we HAVE to return here often as it was just too good not to. Thanks so much for having us!

Lovely place, amazing views and locations.

All facilities were exactly as described.

We absolutely loved it.

Everything you need for a wonderful break. Highly recommend and we can't wait to return. Thank you again, as always.

A fantastic property with fantastic views.

Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

This Property is very well presented, clean and tidy everything works, great location and the view from the house across the lake lovely whatever the weather, booked to come back next year.

We had a wonderful holiday and the house was an excellent base for exploring the area.

.

Will def book again. Had a couple of issues, the door in the kitchen doesnt shut properly. The house was very hot but no nradiators on?? Strange! Sofa in the front room is quite low and worn. All minor things and wouldnt stop us booking again. House is huge and bathroom with eaxh bedroom is fabulous! House on watkins path which we did and so glad we did. Brilliant challenge. Thank you for a great stay

Wonderful house, spectacular views, great location and well equipped.

I could have sat staring at the mountain view all day long. We enjoyed walking around Llyn Dinas straight from the house.

Faultless.

This was our third visit. We were very sad to leave and cannot wait to return. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you!

Fantastic property, much better that suggested in the initial advert.

The view is out of this world. The property is so well laid out and comfortable. If you are a bird or wildlife fanatic this is the place for you, with my family spending most of their time with binoculars at the windows. Only improvement I’d suggest is a shelf in the showers as nowhere to put soap etc. but such a small thing. Definitely want to come back!

A wonderful house with incredible views.

We all loved our stay at Dinas Noddfa.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location

Dinas Noddfa has everything - beautiful location, well appointed, very comfortable, all with a terrace that overlooks Llyn Dinas.

This is the second year that we have stayed at this property because everything about the house cannot be faulted. The house is also in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the Watkin Path only a mile up the road if you want to walk up Snowden!

Superb house with stunning view over the lake.

Ample parking space, looks as good in real life as is photos on Website. Recommended, 5 stars.

We were blown away by the pictures of this house on the website, and were not let down at all on arrival, if anything, its more impressive when you are there.

The house is much bigger than we expected, is presented extremely well and we had a very comfortable stay. It has all the facilities you could need with plenty of space for six people. The wifi throughout the house worked really well but you will struggle with a mobile signal in this area (which is pretty remote). The roads in the near area are winding and narrow, please bear this in mind when visiting places as your journey may take slightly longer than expected. Its a beautiful house in a fabulous location with amazing views all around. The goats on the hillside visited us on two occasions which was a nice bonus. The booking process was easy and trouble free. Overall, we were very impressed and would highly recommend it (we already have to friends and colleagues).

Lovely house in beautiful location with panoramic views of Llyn Dinas and the mountains from the bay windows in the kitchen/diner.

The house is very well equipped and comfortable with good wi-fi. Unfortunately there is no mobile signal so availability of a landline payphone for emergency calls would be useful. We loved the welcome of milk, bara brith, full tea, coffee and sugar canisters and a vase of roses. There is now a good sized table and chairs in the garden, much appreciated on the warmer days. Plenty of walks from the property and many towns just a short drive away. We had a lovely relaxing week and enjoyed a visit from some Welsh goats.

The location of this property is simply stunning.

A full 180 degree view of Llyn Dinas from the breakfast room is picturesque. All rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The only comment I would have for improvement is to provide some outdoor furniture. The weather was warm and dry during our stay, so a few outdoor chairs/table in the garden would have been a nice addition.

A superb house for any time of the year but suited Christmas perfectly.

We had a wonderful time.

We had a lovely stay at Dinas Noddfa.

The house is situated in a great location with fantastic views over the lake to the hills/mountains beyond. The house was spotlessly clean with a gorgeous kitchen and comfortable beds. Each bedroom has a lovely large ensuite bathroom. The living room has a wood fired stove which was lovely after a day out walking! The location was perfect for access to walks and to attractions such as Zip World, Caernarfon and Conwy castles and Portmeirion. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends and family.

Absolutely lovely setting and house, very pretty and comfortable.

Nice touch to have cake, milk and fresh flowers. Everyone in the family loved their stay, I have recommended to friends and family and will try to come again ourselves.

Just brilliant.

Beautiful house, great location and stunning scenery, it really is so beautiful and peaceful there. Lots to fo and stunning walks. Can’t wait till next year!!

Dinas Noddfa is a fantastic house in a superb location.

The house was beautifully presented and has obviously been recently re-decorated throughout to a very high standard. It was also very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a lovely full size range cooker. The breakfast and dining rooms both have great views over Llyn Dinas, All three ensuite bedrooms were of a good size with comfortable beds and also great views over the lake. The property has a path down to the lake and a small slipway which allowed us to go paddle boarding straight from house. All in all an excellent stay. Only a couple of small niggles; we would have liked some robe hooks on the back of the bathroom doors and the WIFI, although fast, didn't reach all of the rooms.

Dinas Noddfa is superb - brilliantly appointed with everything and more a family of six could possibly need.

The panoramic window with the ever-changing views of Lynn Dinas was amazing. None of us wanted to leave!

Great secluded location.

Beautiful scenery. Need to use car as road can be busy to walk on. Local walks around hill sides and only 30 mins drive to Porthmadog.

Absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful, well equipped house. Spectacular views and so peaceful. We did not want to leave and are already booking our next stay!

The house is very well furnished and equipped and has outstanding views over the lake in a quiet part of Snowdonia.

Lovely walks on the doorstep. We had a great time and it was always lovely to come back to such a comfortable house. Very spacious indeed. Would thoroughly recommend. A few comments about the listing: - all the bedrooms have an ensuite bath, and two have a separate shower unit as well. Downstairs there is a shower room with loo and basin. Your listing says 'ensuite shower' which does not imply a bath to me. In fact I thought that a bath was downstairs. So in fact it was all much better than expected. So you are probably underselling this - having a proper bath is very important for my wife! - there is no payphone that we saw - your driving instructions were very accurate, but I think you should say to not follow sat nav. The postcode directs you to a field about a mile away and directed us down a very narrow track and away from the main roads. We all popped the postcode in satnav and got lost. - the road is right in front of and below the house and you may want to mention this. It was generally reasonably quiet but occasionally noisy. - it's a shame the house in now some 30% more expensive for next year!

A lovely house in an amazing place.

Blackout curtains were helpful with the kids.

A holiday home with a view.

Wow. This property is in such an amazing position. Has it all. The most wonderful view of the lake, mountains and great facilities...and my dream kitchen. Thank you for the cake and milk provided and logs to light the fire. Having a fridge freezer in the utility room as well as a fridge in the kitchen would be a big bonus for a bigger family visit. We had a great holiday. Much appreciated. Would recommend it totally. We were sad to say goodbye

Dinas Noddfa has everything going for it - brilliant location on Lllyn Dinas with wonderful views, exceptional facilities, very comfortable, beautifully appointed with everything that's needed on your holiday.

It would benefit from a landline (incoming calls only) as there is no mobile network in the location, and the pillows are lumpy!

Stunning location, beautifully appointed.

The wooden double bed creaked a lot with just turning over but was comfortable. The sofa could do with changing but other than that it was amazing. Would definitely love to return

Very good stay, beautiful location and house.

Very clean tidy and fulfilled all requirements. Would 100% stay again.

We had a great holiday, the house is lovely and the views are exceptional, the light over the lake changes constantly, we could not keep our eyes off it.

The location is amazing with easy access to so many walks. The pictures on the house on the website are accurate and the facilities were all we needed for a fantastic break. Hopefully we shall return.

The house was lovely, the view was beautiful.

Lovely house, views fantastic,.

Comfortable and clean,,. Second visit to this property,. Would recommend to others.

Absolutely beautiful house with postcard views over the lake!

! The house is very spacious and has everything you need! The bedroom are all spacious with lovely en-suites, the hallway is very impressive when you first enter, the kitchen is spacious and has all cooking equipment you'd need, either side of the kitchen there is a lovely dining room and lounge on the other side - every room, including the 3 bedrooms all overlook the lake which is really nice! The location is perfect for exploring Snowdonia and the surrounding areas! Beddgelert is just 10 minutes down the road and has lovely pubs & cafes for food, as well as amazing walks and cycling routes. We took our bikes and rode from the house most days - the lake has a suitable path for bikes as well as walking. I'd definitely recommend this house - we stayed as a family with young children and the owners provided us with a highchair and travel cot. Thank you for a great stay! We'll be booking again for next year!

What a fabulous location and views.

Everything we wanted was provided and we wanted for nothing. Very comfortable including we think new towels. I would definitely recommend this house but have to agree with other reviews that the windows in and out were filthy with fly dirt inside which was a real shame and just poor housekeeping. The outside windows were cleaned on our last day so too late for us but good for the next guests. We would visit again.

One of the expectations was that the views were great.

The windows were so dirty that you could barely see them clearly! There is no mobile reception and you state there is a phone for incoming calls - there was no phone on the premises. A dishwasher provided with only two dishwashing tablets to cater for up to six people foe a week? We, as you know, have rented several of your properties and this is one we would NOT recommend. Basics, or what, I consider as basic were not provided. No kitchen roll, no soap or toilet accessories upstairs. The towels had seen better days and only two were a good size. The only casserole dish was a very old Pyrex one. There was no was you could have set a smart table eg for Christmas. All in all a disappointing experience BUT we did have good weather. Garden furniture uncomfortable.

Brilliant house in a fabulous location.

Great views from every room and easy access to good walking trails and beautiful coast line.

Our cottage / house was absolutely amazing and exactly as advertised.

It was clean and tidy ans extremely well furnished and supplied. We stayed here with 4 adults ans 3 children and had everything we could need. Would recommend this place to any family looking for a bit more than just standard house to lay your head. Has a real.bit of charm and luxury about it

We absolutely loved this house and would certainly like to return next year.

Fabulous views across the lake and numerous walks within a short car drive.

Fabulous location and lovely house.

This was the second occasion we’d stayed here for our short break.

A short break is a bit pricey when compared to a week stay. Love the house location and lakeside view! Bedrooms comfortable and lashings of hot water for that soak after a day in the mountains! If they really wanted to top out on this accommodation I’d like a more comfortable sofa and chairs and larger TV. We will visit again. Thanks, Paul

all we needed, warm and clean and comfortable

Fabulous property!

View from the house is incredible / property is spacious , beautifully furnished and warm!! Four well fitted bathrooms/ shower rooms with plenty of hot water which is great when you have been out walking all day! The road to the front of the property did not detract from the stunning location - we are already planning our next visit!

Great house - 3 ensuite bedrooms and classy fittings

Beautiful and spacious cottage.

It lies quietly and isolated on the slope of the mountain with no neighbours. However, it is well located to visit Wales with plenty of nearby (less than half an hour drive) walks both in the mountains (e.g. Snowdon) and at the shores or beaches at the sea. You have a nice view on Llyn Dinas from all rooms and most notably from the breakfast corner. The interior was clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The internet connection is not very good. You are able to use smartphone apps and do limited downloads, but browsing websites on a laptop was very slow. After mentioning this to Menai Holidays, they contacted the telecom provider and during my stay new hardware was delivered, but not yet installed. So I can't comment on how the quality of the connection will be improved. We enjoyed our stay at Dinas Noddfa very much.

Lovely home in ideal location.

Only let down by cleaning issues: Windows internally and externally in need of a clean along with entrance porch - full of cobwebs. Whole interior is in need of a deep clean (look past initial impressions). Lots of dust & dirt out of site (out of mind), Examples - fireplace, tops of shelves, drapes, Grill pan and cooking tins unwashed.

Really lovely cottage in a great location, amazing lakeside views.

The perfect house for the family - our 20 and 23 year old children and their partners.

The layout was just what we wanted. Kitchen fully stocked, views tremendous and open fire each night with a big central table to play games. We all ran/walked round the lake several times and made friends with the goats who occasionally wandered up the driveway

Beautiful, well-appointed house in excellent location.

However experience spoiled by poor housekeeping. No kindling for fire so unable to light one. Spoke to member of Menai Cottages staff next day (Saturday 24th March) who said they would contact housekeeper and get back to us. Heard nothing, no kindling arrived so had to buy own. Also, several issues with equipment and general cleanliness in kitchen. Information pack for guests was very poor - not what we’d expect in this standard of property. Left detailed comments in guest book. Pictures available if required.

Very smooth and easy organisation of our trip.

Lovely property in a fantastic location.

However, we booked for the New Year and thought that the house would have had Christmas decorations. We had two strings of tinsel a Christmas tree and some baubles in a bowl - obviously not much effort taken to dress the house for Christmas! We also felt that kitchen utensils were tired and lacking and not a single rug downstairs was a shame. The log burner was great though!

Fulfilled our expectations; beautiful location, clean throughout, spacious accommodation.

High chair did not have central safety strap and was therefore unusable. This was reported to Menai who contacted the housekeeper who could not help. Goats a feature of everyday life!! Bats in the evenings....

I love the property although seeing the stag outside the bedroom door was a bit unsettling,however l did get used to him poor deer!

l think the owner could upgrade the sheets to the second bedroom to a better quality also make sure fridges microwave and toaster is clean too,and the fridge in the utility.this is not a moan it's how it was,property is in a good position so would book again

The property was lovely and spacious, with fantastic views of the lake.

It was in a fantastic area close to Beddgelert and in the Snowdonia National Park. We had a fantastic week.

THE COTTAGE WAS BRILLIANT,CLEAN,TIDY, PLENTY OF EQUIPMENT AND TOWELS.

VIEWS WERE GREAT. PEACE AND QUITE WHICH IS WHAT WE LIKE. THE WHOLE FAMILY LOVED IT.
