I was looking for a downstairs WC. It wasnât listed, but on arrival found there was one. This is so helpful for various reasons. The owners are lovely and very helpful. Location perfect for exploring. Cleanliness is spot on. No doggy smells anywhere. There is also Netflix, handy to know. Beds extremely comfortable. Bath is deep to step into for anyone with limited ability. Perfect, definitely recommend and re visit. Loved, loved, loved the home from home feel. Decor was warming and high class. Book , book , book you wonât be disappointed.

The cottage itself is cosy and warm and feels loved. The owners made us very welcome leaving us a welcome gift and card - a very personal touch. The basket of logs was much appreciated and we used the log burner all week, there are lots of throws to keep you warm and cosy if you are in. It was a real pleasure opening the curtains in the morning on one side to Manod Mawr and from the kitchen you look out onto the Moelwyns. Ffestiniog itself has so much to explore - Cwm Cynfal waterfalls were breathtaking and only a short walk away. Llyn y Cefn behind the house on the hill was literally accessed by public path behind the house. We didnât have to get in the car much. As a hill runner and walker the area was very exciting to explore - with Manod Mawr not far away reached by rocky valleys and bluffs, Castell y Bryn fort, lakes..magical. As a climber the area has loads to explore and have fun in when the weather is good. We will definately be back - diolch yn fawr iawn x
