  This is a beautiful cabin, we loved staying here.

  It's a lovely quiet setting with the sound of the stream passing by. The cabin is very well equipped indeed, with everything you could need. We were particularly impressed with ecological aspects, and attention to detail. We did find the narrow and hilly roads, whilst very picturesque, a bit scary in case of meeting the occasional vehicle coming in the opposite direction, but we didn't actually experience any problems. Sadly the lanes were a bit too hilly for walking for our elderly knees, although one of us did walk some way up after turning left out of the cabin drive and was rewarded with fantastic views and scenery. We had a lovely welcome package so could get a cup of tea on arrival and were treated to a delightful floral posy which lasted the whole week. We tried approaching it initially from the south trying to avoid Conwy, but that was a mistake and we'd recommend head for Conwy first and then follow the instructions, apart from the final sign for the Old Church, (and the recent absence of the phone box didn't help) where you need to turn right instead of left. The heatwave and constant sunshine was a real bonus, if a bit of a trial at times, but if we'd had rain and not wanted to go out there was plenty to do "at home". We'd recommend this heartily. as a great place to explore the area, which has much to offer.

  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  !!! The cabin was spotlessly clean and very spacious for 3 of us. Loved the open plan layout so all the family could be together. The cabin was even better in real life than the pictures on the website. Heating in every room, was so toastie. All utensils provided and if you needed anything else all you had to do was to ask the wonderful Jayne, who was so helpful. From the moment I got out the car on arrival, I found it magical! Surrounded by trees, the walk to the front door of the cabin, through the garden followed the most beautiful stream. To hear the constant running water brought a sense of peace, calm and tranquility, just beautiful! We were there to climb Snowdon, which was only 30-40 minute drive. Conwy Castle in the town centre was approximately 10 minute drive, Chester one hour drive and Aber Falls 30 minute drive. If you love walking and hiking in the countryside, this is for you, if you enjoy peace, reading, relaxing or sightseeing this is for you. Just a magical little hideaway. Miss it already! Thank you so much Jayne, very grateful

  Perfect in every way!

  I booked this cottage without paying much attention to where, in Wales, it was! My main priority was having an enclosed garden in a place we could relax in and take our two dogs. Coed y Glyn proved to be this.. and so much more. Set in beautiful countryside with a warm village feel, we enjoyed it all immensely and Llanuwchylin station was amazing - like stepping back in time. Definitely worth booking a trip up to Bala. The village also has a lovely pub, y Eagle, with fabulous food which also served as a village shop. The staff were lovely and helpful when we initially couldn’t find anywhere to sit (booking strongly recommended) The cottage itself is warm, comfy and very well fitted out. The owners are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Not that we needed anything, but we felt we could just “ask” at any time. Sadly our 4 day visit was over too quickly so we will just HAVE to return.

  The house was a home from home, lovely & clean, comfortable and a lovely welcome pack of goodies.

  Beds were so comfy ! However there were a couple of issues…the cottage could really do with double glazing, on a number of occasions we literally couldn’t hear the tv because of the traffic noise…motor bikes (usually groups of them) one group decided to stop outside the cottage for a chat , probably deciding their ongoing route, also lorries driving past. We also made the mistake of leaving the bedroom windows open while we were out (only slightly) we came back to pools of water on the internal windowsill as it had been raining. The other issue we had was the toilet, once it had been flushed it took an absolute age for the cistern to refill, probably about 15 mins…..not ideal when there are a few people staying at the cottage. Hopefully we don’t sound petty because overall the cottage was fab but these issues did spoil the stay slightly.

  A very comfortable, warm cottage, with a very well-equipped kitchen.

  Loads of birds in the garden and lovely stream etc. although we would have felt a bit closed in if the trees had been in leaf. The area would be idyllic for walkers etc. (sadly we're no longer able to do hill walking). The layout has been changed since the photos, meaning that the only coat pegs are now alongside the TV, which is not ideal. We also found the lighting challenging for reading, both in the living area and the bedrooms and missed not having a mirror in the twin room. I would not like to try to park 2 cars (unless both were small) in the parking area, because of its cliff sides, and had to drive up the road to a wider turning to be able to turn round every time we went out (and I am an IAM driver).
