Afallon

Lovely cottage, well equipped kitchen, very clean, comfy beds, beautiful location in Wales.

This was our 2nd visit this year and we will be back asap

The property is a nice comfortable house, lively beds, nice views.

Access is difficult along those roads but doable. You need to drive absolutely eberywhere here and the shops are difficult to park at. But as a holiday let owner I was massively disappointed by the huge mould issues, I have over 20 photos of it. Both bedroom sets of curtains are covered in it, the bathroom plastic mat was absolutely disgusting and brown as was the ceiling. Shower was covered in it and had several hairs, I spent hours cleaning it off the bathroom ceiling, cleaning green mould behind the glasses in the cuboard. It's on ever windowsill, dehumidifiers are there so it's a known issue so absolutely no excuses for it (we also live in the countryside). There are also constant notices /emails on how to clean up after yourself and strip the beds (very cheeky considering how it was left). The back bedroom cord isn't up to legal standards either. Furniture in that room is also wobbly so the mirror is likely to fall on someone. We tried to find other accommodation as we have lung conditions but too everywhere was too busy. The owner must know about all these issues so just poor management of a lovely property to be honest.

We had a lovely stay at Afallon after it was recommended to us by friends.

The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped, and cosy. Having never been to Penmachno before, we'll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage, we had everything we needed.

Plenty of space, comfortable beds, lovely view and all nice & tidy. We can definitely recommend it and would come back!

A really lovely well equipped and clean cottage.

Very comfy beds. Set in a quiet location, perfect for long walks. Would rebook this cottage without hesitation.

Great cottage with outstanding views.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped, nicely furnished. A lovely place to come back to after a day of hiking. Plenty of good long hikes within a short drive. Grocery shopping is limited, so shop on your way here.

Beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable, well equipped kitchen and comfy beds.

The views of the countryside are amazing. The neighbours are very friendly. We enjoyed it so much we are hoping to return in November xx

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Afallon cottage.

The location, views and weather were all perfect! Thank you for the little welcome hamper, it was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Could not fault the accommodation at all! The cottage is beautifully decorated and a joy to stay in. We will be back

The owners clearly care about their home, without making it uncomfortably nice to be in.

It feels homey with plenty of amenities (amazing for cooking!) and high quality furnishings and kitchenware. We loved it.

We really liked the sound of your cottage and couldn't wait for our holiday to begin - we have such a love for Wales and feel that it has only deepened after our stay at your wonderful cottage.

Upon our arrival we found your immaculate cottage exactly as described - perfect for our weeks' getaway. Idealic location and stunning views helped our love affair with Wales continue and we are already looking into coming back very soon. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch after a long journey and the accompanying milk in fridge even greater still - have already sung the praises of your cottage when speaking of our stay and look forward to returning soon. Thank you very much for allowing us to share your beautiful cottage with gorgeous views once again.

Afallon is a spacious and comfortable cottage in a beautiful and tranquil location.

It was well equipped with everything we could have needed. We enjoyed our stay here and would happily stay again in future.

Loved the cottage, especially the view.

Just couple of smalk things. The dishwasher could do with a cleaning cycle, the kettle wouldn't stay switched on unless there was a knife resting on the switch and I think it might leak and as we were leaving there was a gas delivery. The delivery driver said the vegetation around the tank needed to be cut back as its a fire hazard. He delivered this time but suggested he would not next time if the plants hadn't been cut back.

The cottage is delightful and has a breath taking view.

We truly enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely loved our stay at Afallon, beautiful cottage with everything we needed & such a great location.

Super comfy beds & enough seating in the living room for us with some games for us to play. I will definitely be booking again as it was perfect for us & reasonably priced. Waking up with the cows in the back field was super, my daughter loved that! Can’t fault a thing about the place, thank you to the owners for listing such a beautiful place to stay!

A very comfortable cottage in a stunning location, with lots to do locally.

Warm and cosy, we had everything we needed for a great weekend. There was a minor issue with the showerhead not staying in place, but overall it was a lovely cottage.

Afallon is a beautiful cottage, so full of charm, spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished with everything you could possibly want.

The location is scenic and peaceful, but only five miles from Betws-y-Coed and a great base for exploring Snowdonia. An added bonus is the lovely, friendly couple who live next door.

A delightful cottage that has all the amenities that you need.

Comfortable, clean and tidy and has beautiful views. It is the perfect little place to relax and unwind and enjoy the walks. Would stay here again.

Spacious cottage with everything you need for a home from home few days away .

Fabulous views and so peaceful .

Lovely well equipped cottage with amazing views over the valley.

Well placed for visiting the surrounding area. The directions were easy to follow, had no problem finding it.

Fabulous cottage, tastefully decorated for Christmas with artisan decorations.

Well maintained, dishwasher and washing machine invaluable for us over Christmas. Had everything we needed. Beautiful views , one of my favourite places to stay

Beautiful cottage with magnificent views we really enjoyed our stay very homely and cosy especially enjoyed the log burner in the evenings .

The village is delightful and to be able to walk to the Eagles pop in the evening was nice and sit by the fire in a bar . Local shop in the village is great and covers most things you may need you can also get a latte/cappuccino from the coffee machine which is Surprisingly good . The roads through the valley offer outstanding views with plenty of wildlife - Birds of Prey . It’s close to Betws y Coed which It’s great if you want to eat out in the evening .

Another lovely stay at Afallon.

This place is a little gem that is bigger on the inside than the pictures give credit for. The temperature of the cottage stayed wonderfully consistent as temperatures raged outside, and the aspect meant we could either have sun or shade depending on how we were feeling. We used the parking space at the back for our vehicle but could easily have used it for a BBQ if we wanted to. It's easy to access the village from any number of ways, and the mountain bike trails are just a short ride away too. The neighbours (a mix of residents and family owned holiday cottage) are very friendly and helpful (a real plus). The area is very quiet and just great for a relaxing break away from the hustle of the tourist hotspots - a real haven to return to.

We really enjoyed our week in Afallon, an ideal place to stay with our daughter, who is visiting us from Vancouver, and who loved the cottage immediately.

The cottage was very clean and all equipment in good working order. Inspite of heavy rain at times, Penmachno isn't far from Anglesey, the Lleyn and West coast, which often has better weather. After an active day, it was lovely to return to the cottage and relax. We have no hesitation in recommending this lovely property.

We had a really great stay here.

The pictures don't really show what a great spot the house is in. The view from the bench in the front garden is over Pen Machno and the valley and is fantastic. And it's a really quiet spot. The property is on a short row of just a few houses, with fields behind and below. The kitchen was really well-equipped, with good quality pots, pans and cutlery, and is a good size, as are all the rooms. Pen Machno is a lovely village, and there are great walks in the hills. We walked on the Slate Trail to Betws y Coed, which has some stunning views. And the Eagles pub and local shop are both very friendly places. Everyone we met in the village was friendly and the place was very peaceful and quiet. We would definitely stay again, though next time with friends as there are 3 bedrooms and plenty of space.

We had a wonderful stay at Afallon during half term.

Instantly felt at home and was surprised at the size of the cottage, pictures do not do it justice at all. The single parking space our back was very helpful too. The kitchen was incredibly well set up with everything you need including lovely quality cutlery and sharp knives (we usually take our own). The beds were so comfy and our daughter loved her sheep room! Big sofas for lounging about on after a busy day, and the Firestick was a revelation. Excellent internet as there is no phone signal at all. Would recommend highly, a quite gem of a place that we'll hopefully come back to.

Wonderful cottage well equipped and in a delightful environment.

For a couple wanting a quiet retreat could not be better. Will return Again

Lovely cottage and great location.

Would readily recommend. All necessary facilities provided for a very comfortable and informed holiday.

Lovely cosy cottage in stunning valley Thanks for slow cooker and extra towels Maps and info file very useful too

We loved our stay and cannot recommend too highly.

It is a beautiful cottage with stunning views across the valley. We hope to stay at Afallon again really soon.

The photo doesn’t do justice to the location of this lovely cottage

A beautiful cottage with everything you need for your stay in a tranquil spot but still accessible to so much.

Beautiful walk to the pub! Stunning area

Beautiful location so peacful ,fantastic accommodation ,had everyone needed .

Thank you for a lovely stay at Afallon and our first visit to Snowdonia, it was just what we needed.

The view from the cottage is fantastic which is hard to capture in the photos on the website. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped and beautifully furnished with a small terrace at the back, which we managed to use a couple of times when the weather brightened up. It's incredibly quiet and peaceful with the only interruption being the sheep in the opposite field! The local information, maps and walks were really appreciated and we did a number of walks from Penmachno, as well as walking up Snowdon and a good circular walk starting at Llyn Crafnant. We would definitely like to return to Afallon and try out some of the other walks in the area - I feel like we just scratched the surface!

Great place, if anything the photos don’t really do it justice!

Holiday cottage was lovely.

Fabulous location view outside front bedroom window green fields and sheep. Cottage very clean and cosy. Lots of great walks nearby. Note car space for one at rear of cottage.

The cottage was perfect.

We felt at home straight away. The kitchen was excellently equipped, we loved having netflix available. The wi-fi was very good too. The bedrooms were sweet and cosy, I loved reading in the front bedroom looking out at the countryside through the low cottage window The bathroom was lovely The layout of the hallway was lovely too Tastefully decorated throughout Even a herb garden.was prepared for us. Be nice to have a layered walled garden at the back and perhaps ivy growing along the back wall and some trees to hide the gas cylinder at the back i loved the little flowers planted within the gaps in the walls of the front wall too. Lovely neighbours, nice to open the windows and hear only sheep and lambs bleeting Lots of walks straight from the door and Penmachno village only a 10 minute walk with pub, shop and church - very quaint and nice to be based away from the touristy area of Betwys -y-coed - however, lovely. We needed an urgent car repair and would recommend Betwys-y-coed motors too

It was absolutely perfect and we will certainly use again as well as recommend this stay!
