What guests are saying
We had such a lovely time in the cottage.
Ffestiniog is such a beautiful place. Lots of walking trails. The hosts, Sheena and Ian who live in the same compound are lovely people and such an added bonus and were so helpful going all out to make our stay memorable. We would definitely go back.
Absolutely lovely little cottage and location, with it's own garden attached.
Sheena and Ian (and Summer) were very welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable. As the cottage was made from stone, it was lovely and cool inside during this hot summer, and the location was great for being surrounded by countryside and only a few minutes drive from our GoBelow experience. Tall people do need to duck within the cottage, as a couple of the door frames are made for your average height person - just a "heads" up on that ;) The kitchen had everything we needed, the shower was welcoming, and the lounge was a lovely place to chill after a long day. I would absolutely be booking in here again if I find myself in the area again.
I’ve hesitated to leave a review as I didn’t want it to be overly negative but this isn’t somewhere I’d choose to stay again and thought some honest feedback might help.
The location is good as a base and, if you have pets it has a lovely enclosed garden, but the premises would greatly benefit from a sign on the driveway as you’re coming directly off a 60mph road. It’s difficult to travel slowly along searching for the concealed entrance. The accommodation itself was adequate but the uneven flooring in the kitchen area was really awkward and potentially dangerous. I’m not sure why it hasn’t been levelled out. Coupled with that the cottage is really dark with wood panelling and dark brown carpets and there are steps between each room that are not marked at all. It makes them very difficult to negotiate safely. There were other more easily remedied niggles including a tiny fridge that wasn’t adequately sized even for just 2 adults. The bedding was nylon and felt clammy and damp. Cotton bedding is always more comfortable. The shower floor didn’t dry out for the whole week and there was no way to dry it. Although I could see that the decor reflected perhaps tastes of the owner, filling it with plastic plants and ornaments collect dust and made potentially useful spaces untidy. We also struggled with the cloying smell from the logburner. I’m really sorry that we couldn’t be more positive but hopefully the feedback is constructive
