  We stayed in Manaros during January whilst visiting our daughter who has a shop in the village. The cottage is lovely and well placed to enjoy the amenities of the village, being a short walk to everything. The entrance has ample room for shoes and boots and is a tiled floor which made it easy to brush up mud. There are useful hooks for coats and bags. The lounge was comfortable with a sofa and couple of easy chairs. The TV only had freeview and no access to pay channels but we got round this using a laptop. The dining table could easily seat six. The kitchen was well appointed with microwave, dishwasher and fridge as well as cooker. There was plenty of room for two people to work in the kitchen at the same time. A good range of kitchen utensils. The upstairs was again, beautifully appointed with a very comfortable bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables that were large enough to accommodate all the stuff I usually take with me! The second bedroom we used as an overflow for clothes and cushions (there were a lot of these!) but was a good sized single. The bathroom was a reasonable size with the best shower I have experienced in a rental cottage. So often it's pathetic but this one was fabulous. The back garden was not large but enough to for our dog to get some fresh air. It wasn't secure by our standards because there is an alleyway down the side of the house that leads to the road with a gate that our dog could jump but for smaller dogs it would have been fine. All in all, this was a great cottage, in a superb location that I wouldn't hesitate booking again.

  The property is in the most fantastic location, in the heart of the village and close to shops and walks and the village is beautiful. Sadly the cottage did not live up to expectations. It is very tired, everything sort of worked but in poor condition. The kitchen had an odd layout, self catering but not a single cupboard or side to put food for storage apart from a window sill. The cutlery and crockery were all visibly dirty and needed washing before use. The kitchen is in need of a deep clean and the small breakfast table was rusty and rickety, just all in poor condition. The beds were reasonably comfortable, the mattress in the spare room had a lot of stains on it and no waterproof covering to protect it. The garden boasted beautiful views on the summary online, poorly maintained garden with overgrown trees meaning there was no view. That’s not a problem that there is no view but not really a selling point as I was looking forward to this. The stair case has no spindles on it and open, this is a family friendly cottage and this was very disappointing to see when we were travelling with a small child. The blinds in the property, especially in the spare bedroom do not meet legal requirements, again sad to see and a complete oversight of the property owner to not make sure the property is in full legal order before letting out. Our holiday was not spoilt by this stay but it certainly wasn’t a home from home with beautiful views as the listing suggests.

  The instructions for access were clear and unloading was easy but via 8 steps.

  However it should be noted that the drive is on quite a steep slope which might be a problem for some individuals. The house was in a quiet neighbourhood (late June) with little or no disturbance despite the nearby railway and main road. There were good views of the nearby hills, the river and the castle from the front bedroom and the decked area adjacent to the front door. The double bed was soft but tolerable with our own toppers. We did not use the single bed so cannot comment. There is no gas in the property and the heating, hot water and the shower were electric. We did not use the heating so cannot comment. The hot water is from a hot water tank with an immersion heater and was very good. The shower was also perfectly adequate with a reasonable flow. The towels were a bit small compared to other properties we have used and we did not find an information folder with instructions for appliances etc. There was some information on local attractions. The TV was good with both Netflix and Amazon Prime included. We thought Deganwy was an excellent location for visiting the area. There was a fish and chip shop 1-2 minutes on the main road to Llanduno Junction. At Llanduno jumction there were supermarkets and access to the NorthWales Expressway. There is an M&S at Llanduno but parking costs £2.50 per hour. Lots to do in the area and we would return to the area and the property in the future it we have time.

  A nice little house in a good location.

  Our welcome pack was thoughtful and appreciated, thank you. On first entering the house appeared clean. Unfortunately some aspects were not up to the standard we expected. The white curtains in lounge are very dirty. We moved the armchair to fit a dog bed in, the floor behind and under the furniture had not been swept, revealing bits of old food and small dog toys, (these were left in the house). The shower head has black mould on it. The bathroom fan is filthy. The back patio was dirty with dog poo and litter. I had to clean this up before I could allow my dogs outside. Not a very nice welcome. Stripping the bed down on leaving revealed a stained mattress protector and rubbish under the bed. I have photos of the curtains, shower head, fan, stained bedding and under bed. The sofa has been well used and you sink right into the left seat. Sofa also needs a good clean. The rear outside light does not work. The focal center of the lounge is a very large clock. Unfortunately this was not working either. The literature in the house says a spare set of keys are in the cutlery drawer. They were not there so we had to separate the keys on the keyring in order to be able to open both doors. It is such a shame that these little matters could not have been better managed as this could be a fabulous place to stay.

  The parking is there BUT it is difficult because the space is on a severe gradient which makes getting in an out of the car a struggle and there were always cars parked opposite which hampered the access and exit.

  One reason for us choosing Castle View was the enclosed garden and grass area as we have a small dog. However you need to be very fit and agile to access this area. The steps are steep and without an adequate handrail.The upper steps are hazardous with loose gravel. If we hadn’t had the company of a young person with us we could not have cleaned up after our dog. Internally the property did better. The kitchen needs slightly more than pots and pans ….such as a few casserole dishes.and a dishwasher would have been preferable to the large freezer which we never used. Upstairs is comfortable but the single bedroom has no hanging rail and only 1 hook…..definitely not to our daughters liking.The same goes for the bathroom. Fantastic shower but a grab rail to aid getting in and out of the bath would be a great idea. It’s the first bathroom I’ve been into that has not even one hook on which to hang one’s clothes……and the lock fell out and had to be pushed back into place on numerous occasions. On the positive side the beds and linens are excellent.As is the lounge and dining ares. I would suggest that this property is not ideal for anyone with mobility or balance problems.
