  What a beautiful cottage!

  Was better than expected and beyond our expectations. The decor was so beautiful, cute and funky. Lovely colours and finishings. Hottub was one of the best we have had, water was super hot, jets really strong and various settings and lovely lights which you could change colours. Bed was very comfy. Lots of extra pillows. There was extra blankets (which we didn’t need). There was even a fan and hot water bottle in the cupboard. Literally all the extras you could think of and more. Kitchen was fab. Small but absolutely big enough. No shortage of cutlery or crockery. There was even lunch boxes which we used for our picnics. The coffee machine was amazing. It was a Sage. One of the best. Takes nesspresso pods. We took some with us but the owners even sent us some. I had so many coffees which were just delightful and such a lovely extra we didn’t expect :). Cooker and microwave were brilliant. Also the dishwasher was as great to. Hearing was very good. There were big modern radiators in ever room and the place got so cosy very quickly. Comfy sofa, again lots of pillows and blankets, foot stool, extra cosy touches. There were some books, games and DVDs, which we didn’t use but again a great extra and there if you needed. Tv was modern and big enough. Netflix to (have to use your own account) we watched films most evenings which was lovely after a long day of adventures and a relaxing dip in the tub. We don’t normally get time in our busy lives to be able to chill and relax and the evenings so it was just so nice. The shower was great, powerful and hot. LED heated mirror in the bathroom, large sink with storage. There were some toiletries there to, we didn’t really use any of our own. Again, lovely touch. The decor in the bedroom was so nice to, colourful an romantic. Plenty of storage space. Nice area by the boiler to put your shoes to and area to hang coats. There was even three dressing gowns which were a towel fabric, perfect for when using the hottub. As the radiators were so so warm when the heating was on we found out our pyjamas in there, get out the tub and put on our warm night clothes. Super lush. And location! Perfect. On our arrival a day and second day we walked from the cottage. One day we headed down the river and found some lovely waterfalls the next walk we went the other way and across the river through a forest and up the mountain. If you didn’t want to drive anywhere you could have a lovely walking holiday right from the cottage. Most of the great places to visit in north wales were all very close. Including betws y coed. The famous Yr Wyddfa (tallest peak in wales), and we also went to portmeirion. There is a small shop in the village to, and a pub which serves food on certain days and believe drinks most days. We didn’t visit but nice for us to let you know in this review. Other reviews mention damp. This is NOT the case. If it was it has been seen to. There are dehumidifiers in the property and the owners have made all efforts to prevent it. This is a very old property and it has lovely features teamed with modern quirky decor. It’s small but more than big enough for short or long stays. There are no issues in our opinion with damp or any of the amenities, fixtures and fittings. Oh and a lovely dimmer light in the living room. Cosy and romantic. Some reviews have mentioned the garden. There is a large lawn at the bottom that does need a cut, but why you would want to spend time on the lawn I don’t know. So not sure why ppl have complained about this. There is a lovely patio area. With rattan seating. I imagine in the summer we would have used this and spent time eating outside and sunbathing. The views from the property are lovely. There are cottages next door but not once did we feel like we were being overlooked. There is a good recycling system for rubbish. Bins with lables on inside so rig know where to put things. The bins outside were quite full. But this was due to bin day not occurring when we were there. And this was only paper/cardboard/glass/metal there was no food waste or anything unslightly outside and plenty of recycling/bins inside for a short stay. So not sure why I read a negative review about this either. The place is just fantastic. Value for money - well personally it was a bargain! There were no similar properties with hot tubs in good locations for this price. Shepard’s huts in people’s backyards cost more! So we really couldn’t believe how fabulous it was for the price. We even had a Welsh hamper sent to us on our stay to. The internet is also very fast and good and easy to sign on to. Highly recommend and we will 100% be coming back soon. Thank you x

  When we first arrived, it was difficult to locate the bungalow.

  The road was very narrow, and there were vehicles parked in front preventing from seeing it. The guide was good, but a picture of the road approaching would be useful. The codes supplied for the key box and chain were both incorrect. Had to discover them ourselves. The cottage itself is very nice, as shown in the pictures. The entrance is into the small kitchen, Which is very nice. There is a Sage coffee machine, but no pods, and not knowing which pods we needed in advance meant we couldn't use it. The welcome book says there should be some provided as part of a welcome basket which was also missing. The living room is very cosy, and the window from the living room gives lovely views across the valley, You see some thing different every time you look out. However, this was spoiled as the window is dirty, and needs a good clean both inside and out. No welcome basket and no coffee pods etc which were mentioned in the welcome pack, and the welcome pack is jumbled and needs work too. The garden is a mess sorry to say, the lawn completely overgrown and unusable, and the patio has grass and weeds growing all over it (unlike the pictures). The hot tub was just amazing, in it everyday, Felt really relaxed every night The bedroom is just lovely, big, and well decorated and furnished. The bedroom is very cosy comfortable but used my own pillows, because I didn't like the ones supplied (they are quite bulky, and the mattress firm. Also, the bedroom door does not close properly. The bathroom is again nicely designed, but the toilet seat is broken and needs sorting. The shower is lovely loved using it, But again behind the glass door it's very dirty and looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a while and does not close properly. There is also No lock on bathroom door. The rubbish. The bin was full so couldn't put our rubbish in it, so had to leave it on top of the bin. You need to let people know when they stay there when the rubbish needs to be taken out and if anything is necessary like taking it down the road, and what dates. But really I just want to say I enjoyed my stay, It is a lovely bungalow Quiet, relaxing, comfortable, and lovely walks, lots of waterfalls and streams around. Definitely recommend this place. But I feel you need to get on top of cleaning and maintenance, especially in the bathroom, windows and back garden.

  My brother and I spent a week staying in a cottage on Carneddau farm in early Sept this year with a view to photograph local landscapes. We had a wonderful time here. The cottage was very well situated and appointed, with all the conveniences required for the stay. We even had some essentials of milk, tea, coffee and Welsh cakes provided for our arrival which were much appreciated! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, beds were very comfortable and we could not have wished for better. Our hosts Margaret and Rob could not have been more helpful. They provided us with a number of tips for things to see locally and were great fun to talk to. This is a beautiful part of the world and although the weather could have been kinder, we had a throughly enjoyable stay. Many thanks Margaret and Rob and hope to see you again in the not too distant future!

  We had to pay extra for electricity units we had used during our stay, I cannot find anywhere in my booking emails that electricity was not included in the price we paid so was shocked to read this in the welcome pack at the property. You market this as a dog friendly cottage but we were told when we arrived it was a good job our dog was 6 months old as they do not accept dogs any younger, again this needs to be highlighted when booking, not sure what would have happened if he had been 5 months old? We obviously would not take a none house trained dog on holiday anyway. Stunning location made even better by a week of sunshine, hosts welcoming on arrival. Cottage very dark inside and dated needs upgrading and it would be perfect.

  The cottage and owners were fantastic, it was clean, well equipped and had plenty of space for our needs, being located in a rural area resulted in nice quiet nights sleep. The views from the cottage were awesome and with lambing season in full swing this added an extra element to our stay - fascinating. The only thing we struggled with was finding eating places nearby not a fault of the cottage of course and probably just something that is season dependent). In summary it was a great location to explore the local area with access to scenic drives and tourist attractions whichever way you headed and only a short drive away, I'd love to come back to explore even more when the weather is a bit better.
