Comfort
Comfort is frequently commended, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, especially with the wood burner. However, some guests had issues with the heating system and the damp smell, which slightly lowers the score.

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon). Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A 20 minute stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’ most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Beddgelert is famed for its monument to the Welsh Prince Llewelyn's dog, whom the Prince killed thinking it had attacked and killed his son, only to discover afterwards it had been defending his son from a savage wolf attack. With Porthmadog, Portmeirion, Borth y Gest and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula easily reached, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.
