Guests say
Trem Yr Ynys is a spacious, well-equipped cottage in the heart of Betws-Y-Coed, praised for its superb riverside location, easy access to walks, shops, and eateries, and ample parking. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and pet-friendly policy. While most found the property clean and inviting, some noted minor maintenance issues and a need for garden improvements, especially for dog owners. Occasional odours and dated furnishings were mentioned but did not detract from the overall positive experience. Thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs, were appreciated by some guests.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with several reviews specifically praising the cleanliness. However, a few mentioned odours (notably from dogs and the downstairs bathroom) and some cobwebs, which slightly impacted the overall impression.
The location is consistently highlighted as outstanding, with easy access to the village, river, walks, shops, and public transport. The riverside setting and proximity to amenities are major positives.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, especially the beds and spacious layout. Some noted issues with specific mattresses, creaky beds, and occasional musty smells, but these were often addressed promptly by the owner.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, parking, and multiple bathrooms. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues (e.g., worn oven dials, loose fittings, lack of garden enclosure for dogs, and dated furniture), but overall facilities met most needs.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome packs, milk, and festive decorations. However, as these gestures are not guaranteed for every stay, future guests should not expect them as standard.

Fantastic house to rent. Perfect location to explore Betws-y-Coed and surrounding areas. Beautiful backyard to enjoy. We stayed a week and house had everything to live there. Really enjoyed the gas stove top! Haven’t seen a lot of those! Lots of space to spread out. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend highly!
