  A lovely farmhouse in a beautiful peaceful location.

  The games room was a hit with everyone. Everyone loved playing pool, football and table tennis. There was plenty board games, books, dvd’s and wii games that we didn’t have time to play with. There was plenty room for large parties. Lots of room to socialise downstairs with the kitchen lounges and games rooms. It might be better to have twin beds in at least one of the rooms. The garden was lovely and had amazing views would be o lovely to sit in if the weather was good. The log burners made the room lovely and cozy. The kitchen was really well equipped. However what let it down for us was the cleanliness of the kitchen or lack of. Crockery was wet and dirty, the cutlery drawer was full of crumbs and dirty and the cooker, roasting tins and frying pans and the drawers they were in was full of grease. It was that bad we had to wash everything and wipe out cupboards and drawers before we could prepare a meal. This was not what we wanted after a long drive on a Friday night. We did inform the owners who said they would look into it. This was a build up of grease and dirt not just from previous tenants. Others had mentioned it in the guest book and the response was there was only so much you could do in 6 hours. Maybe they need to look at employing more staff or not having turnover on the same day. The garden was also used as a toilet by 4 cats and a dog from neighbouring houses which we had to clean up daily as it got walked in twice. Having said this it did not spoil our holiday and we made lots of lovely memories. We visited Betws y Coed and Llandudno and did local walks. A lovely area which we all enjoyed We went for a meal at the local pub which was lovely and the staff so friendly.

  Penmachno, North Wales & Snowdonia (Sykes Ref.

  974158) We stayed here at the beginning of the school summer holidays. The location is good for access to all the attractions of North Wales but you will need a car. The Photos reflect the interior of this compact cottage well. The On road parking is first come first parked and in our week we only once got parked in front of the property, the rest of the time we were 300-500 yards away. Also with other people parked tight in front of the property it is sometimes difficult to squeeze passed to the gate to actually enter the property, Oh and there is no way you can fit 2 cars in front unless you have 2 micro city cars. The Slate patio in the back garden looks good but is pretty uneven so watch your trips and falls. The road at front the house goes up the beautiful Penmachno valley this road turns out to be VERY popular with motocyclists who start going up in groups from about 8AM. This limits your lazy holiday morning lay-in bed time! Great if you’re Harley-Davidson fans as the variety of bikes was spectacular. When we were there we had a leak from the shower room into the lounge this steady drip became a cascading waterfall after BOB the handyman came to fix it on 2 occasions. This stopped us using the only shower, so we left the property early as they seemed unable to fix it. Looking at the repair book this has been a problem for months.

  The cottage itself was absolutely charming from the minute I laid my eyes on the red door.

  It boasted a cosy living room and well equipped kitchen with an ample sized garden for my energetic pup to run around in - not too harsh on the eyes either with fantastic views surrounding Penmachno. Plenty of room in the cottage for four people and the beds were extremely comfortable, in the absence of radiators, electrics heaters were dotted around in the buildings and not to mention the centrepiece to the living room being the log fire which even in June we could resist lighting one or two evenings. The cottage itself was just a stones throw away from the local pub, which is small granted, but delightful and immediately next to this a corner shop that had plenty to offer from fresh fruit and veg to toiletries. Penmachno itself is a quiet village but you are only a 10 minute drive from Betws-Y-Coed where you will not be short of pubs, shops and restaurants. I’ve had a brilliant week in Snowdonia, my own criticism is that it wasn’t long enough.

  We had fantastic long weekend at the property with our whole family.

  (Upon arrival please note the key lock box is quite high on a wall round the corner from the front door, it took us a while to locate it, maybe due to the rain!) The house worked so well with downstairs bedrooms for those with limited mobility and also the dog owners. Plenty of rooms upstairs for the rest of us with spacious bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms. The games rooms kept us all entertained with table tennis, pool and table football. There are numerous board games, DVD's, CD's and books...there is something for everyone. The real fires in both sitting rooms were great, so make sure you purchase some wood and kindling on your way to the property. The kitchen is very well equipped. We would recommend the Giler Arms for food which is the nearest pub, just a few minutes drive from the house. Betws-y-Coed is worth a visit, great scenery and walks, and pubs and coffee shops. We will be back!

  We’ve booked several cottages over the years and I would say this one was ok but there is definitely room for improvement.

  I think customers should be informed that the TV reception is very poor. We had none all week over Christmas and although there was Netflix, this was a shame. The cottage was very cold on arrival but after putting on the electric fires, the fuse board kept tripping (several times). The kitchen tap dripped constantly and the oven (and extractor fan) had not been cleaned in a while and consequently smoked when turned on! Parking outside the cottage was difficult (a ‘no parking sign, on the gate would be helpful) as neighbours put out bollards outside theirs, forcing you to park 200 yards away. For privacy, it would have been nice to have blinds up at the bathroom window and the window at the top of the stairs. Having said all that, the bed was comfy and the lounge was cosy when the fire was lit.
