Snaptrip says

The Old Smithy Cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches such as welcome packs. The conservatory and views are particularly appreciated, although the proximity to a busy road is noted. The property is well-furnished and provides a homely base for exploring North Wales.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the spotless condition and immaculate presentation of the cottage, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.

The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions. However, several reviews mention the busy road and some difficulty with traffic when exiting the property, which slightly impacts the location score.

Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of the conservatory and the quality of furnishings. A few comments about the firmness of the bed and road noise are noted but do not significantly detract from the overall comfort.

The property is well-equipped with modern amenities like Sky TV and WiFi, and the conservatory is a highlight. Some guests mention the kitchen size and placement of the fridge as minor inconveniences, but overall the facilities are highly regarded.

Many reviewers express appreciation for the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and additional comforts like dressing gowns. While these gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that such extras are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

    We went over Christmas to get away from all the hustle and bustle and to relax and recharge, and thats what we did. There was everything we needed, it was clean, comfortable and so cosy, scenery is amazing. We loved it that much we have booked again for the summer to do more getting out and about..look forward to it. PERFECT getaway and stunning. Thank you ❤️❤️

    Walks are on the doorstep and Porthmadog is a short drive away when you need supplies. There is also plenty to see in the surrounding area. The cottage itself has everything you need and the welcome basket is a lovely added touch. Hazel & Barry have gone out of their way to provide an ideal getaway.

    Other than that we were very pleased.
