Guests say
Smithy House in Betws-Y-Coed is a well-regarded cottage, praised for its convenient location, comfortable accommodation, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's charm, proximity to local amenities, and the helpfulness of the hosts. While some noted minor issues with maintenance and a musty smell, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The majority of guests found Smithy House to be very clean. However, a few mentioned a musty smell, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the village, local shops, eateries, and walking opportunities, making it an ideal base for exploring Betws-Y-Coed.
Guests generally found the cottage to be comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a powerful shower. Some noted the house could be cold, but overall, the comfort level is high.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the bonus of two W/Cs. However, comments about the need for new paint and a damp smell suggest some maintenance is required.
While guests mentioned lovely treats left for them, there is not enough information to assess overall thoughtfulness consistently, and such gestures should not be expected on every visit.
