Guests say

Guests consistently praise the cottage's prime location, cleanliness, and cosy atmosphere. The property's proximity to local amenities and attractions in Betws-y-Coed is highly valued. The thoughtful touches by the owners, such as fresh flowers and Welsh cakes, are frequently mentioned and appreciated. While there are some minor suggestions for improvement, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

The majority of reviews commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. However, a few guests noted areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning, such as appliance seals and radiator tops. These comments were relatively few and did not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback on cleanliness.

The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and close to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The convenience of private parking and the charm of the nearby railway add to the appeal. The location is considered ideal for exploring North Wales, contributing to the high score.

Guests find the cottage cosy and welcoming, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. Some guests, however, mentioned that the mattresses and sofas could be improved, as they felt they were too soft or showing signs of wear. Despite this, the overall comfort level is rated positively.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped and having a useful utility room. Some guests suggested minor improvements, such as better labelling of refuse bins and a more powerful shower. Maintenance issues like dampness and a non-working hob ring were also noted.

The owners' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcoming touches like fresh flowers, Welsh cakes, and milk. These gestures contribute to the positive experience, although it is politely noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Joy

    Fabulous location. Would definitley stay there again.

  • Fiona

    It is clean & comfortable & has a lovely patio looking onto the railway. It is small but very well laid out. The only issue is the website mentions that 6 trains go either way every day but more transparency is needed, the 1st train passes through at 5.45am so anyone staying in the front rooms will wake early (even with the windows closed), we had poor sleep because of this & unfortunately it would put us off staying again, if noise doesn't bother you then it would be the perfect spot for you.

  • Chris
