    We really enjoyed our stay. It was immaculately clean, warm and comfy with lots of personal touches, like the Christmas Tree for our New Year stay. A lovely surprise was the homemade scones and prosecco left as a welcome gift. The hot tub was an extra bonus which the children loved even in the rainy weather. Thank you Arwel & Delyth

  • Laurinda

    The views from the cottage are stunning. The hosts were amazing! From booking to leaving we felt truly and warmly welcomed, without the feeling of being intrusive in any which way. The homemade scones, Prosecco and well stocked condiments were a lovely (and very well received) touch. The hot tub was a wonderful way to end busy days of exploration. Thank you

    We had a wonderful week at Gorwel Deg. On arrival we found fresh scones, jam, cream and Prosecco to enjoy as we sat on the terrace enjoying the spectacular scenery and amazing sunset. The hot tub was used everyday, especially after our adventures which included the zip wire, Zip World can be seen from the house and climbing Snowdon which is a short drive away. The house has an interesting, quirky layout, it seems really big with the two staircases and the living room upstairs with that amazing view. It had everything we needed. The beds were comfy with gorgeous bedding. The bathrooms were modern and clean, fabulous shower. The kitchen is a good size and had all we needed to cook a meal. The WiFi signal is good. The owners live next door and respond quickly to any questions/issues. It was such a great holiday, we were very lucky with such fabulous weather ☀️ Thank you Arwel & Delyth
