Snaptrip says

Ddol Helyg Barn is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its spaciousness, ideal location for exploring Snowdonia, and the welcoming host, Barbara. The on-site Piggery Pottery is a hit, especially with children. The property's large kitchen and comfortable beds are often mentioned, and the cosy wood fire adds charm to the evenings. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, making it a recommended stay for large groups and families.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, though a few mentioned areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning or attention. The majority of reviews, however, reflect a high standard of cleanliness.

The location is consistently praised for its proximity to Snowdonia, local attractions, and the convenience of nearby shops and pubs. The scenic views and easy access to outdoor activities contribute to its high rating.

Guests find the beds very comfortable and the living spaces ample. Some guests mentioned issues with heating and the firmness of mattresses, but overall, the property is regarded as comfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received with a fully equipped kitchen and en-suite bathrooms. However, some guests reported maintenance issues such as shower leaks and the need for sharper kitchen utensils, which slightly lowers the score.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the warm welcome and responsiveness to requests. While some guests were delighted by treats, it is noted that such gestures are at the host's discretion and not guaranteed.

About this property

A delightful, stone-built barn conversion with eco-friendly solar powered underfloor heating, five en-suite bedrooms, each with a TV and a large sitting room with woodburner and charming picture window with views over the courtyard. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1576 to accommodate up to 28 people.

Situated in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, Llanrug is a small village with two pubs and a shop just three miles from the famous town of Llanberis. Popular amongst walkers, this tranquil settlement is set beneath the Snowdon Massif and flanked by the Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris lakes. As one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park, Llanberis is an ideal spot for walkers and climbers to gather, particularly during the annual Snowdon marathon. For the less energetic holidaymaker, trains travel to the summit at regular intervals giving those unable to climb to the peak a chance to enjoy the incredible views. Back in the town itself there are a number of excellent places to eat and drink as well as a great choice of shops.

    We were 12 people including children. Lovely ,clean ,spacious , well equipped cottage - including, tea, coffee ,sugar iron with ironing stand ,hand wash in the kitchen and all the ensuites . Welsh cakes and a cake were also provided in the kitchen . All bedrooms were ensuite. Plenty of space for all of us with a nice big dining table in the kitchen to accommodate all of us. The owner was very nice and gave me instructions on the phone re how to find the cottage but unfortunately we still got lost . We arrived very late but she was awake and guided us to the cottage. Location was very good with a short drive to mount Snowden and Zipworld. Piggery Pottery was on site and the children really enjoyed spending a few hours painting some pottery. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are planning a visit to Snowdonia.

    The property was perfect for our group of 10 plus a dog—spacious and well-maintained. Its proximity to Snowdon trails was a major plus. The place was impeccably clean, and the host was lovely and responsive. Highly recommend!
