  We stayed for nearly a week and loved it.

  Sue and Gary are very hospitable people, they can't do enough to help. Being a very dog-friendly place, set in fantastic scenery, we relaxed very quickly. On arrival, a few essentials such as milk, Tea and coffee plus a bottle of wine and some welsh cakes, all very much appreciated after a long drive. There are laundry facilities and a second freezer in an outbuilding at the cottage but you should let Sue know if you want to use the washing machine as she has to divert the water to the building. The cottage itself is made of stone and has been converted very well. It is in an area of "dark Skies", on clear nights the stars were magnificent. There are plenty of walking trails which you can follow. We were able to use the shop and takeaway facility of the Forest Holidays campsite down the track from the cottage. The campsite is a totally separate entity to the cottage but they were very pleasant and helpful. We had no telephone signal at the cottage but the owners have installed wi-fi which we found useful, we could use some whats -app saved numbers. I am not too tech savvy so other people might be able to do more. Beddgerert itself is very small with some eating places; we went to the local pub, the Saracens Head. The meal was fine but they stopped serving food at about 730pm for some reason. On the way to Snowdonia; about a 30-minute drive from the cottage, the sat nav took us through the village, a pleasant ride with some really good scenery. I would suggest keeping the car topped up with fuel. As filling stations are rather few and far between we tended to use the Tesco store in Porthmadog for shopping and fuel. Caernarfon is in the opposite direction to Beddgelert and about the same distance as Porthmadog, it has all the usual big town facilities, we just happen to use Porthmadog which is from where the Heritage trains left. The cottage is also not very far from Criccieth which has some good beaches and a castle. We really enjoyed the stay and are considering returning next year.

  We had a lovely time staying at Penrallt Fawr the cottage was perfect size for 2 adults, 2 children and a dog.

  The front garden is a nice size with an amazing view and safe and secure for the dog. The lane next to the cottage is quiet and it was a very peaceful stay. The cottage is quite isolated up the hill but still quite a few properties nearby. The rooms were all a nice size and it felt spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and whilst we didn’t use the range to cook on the addition of an airfryer and electric hot plate made cooking easy. We had plenty of hot water and the bathroom was a great size with a nice shower and big bath for the kids. WiFi was good too. Overall it was a lovely cosy cottage and a good central location to get to the places we wanted to visit. There was a Morrisons express quite close maybe 5 mins which was handy. My only one slight negative comment would be that was whilst the cottage was clean and tidy when checking we had all the kids toys it was a bit dusty behind the beds and furniture but just a minor point. We would definitely consider coming back here when we come to North Wales again.

  Waterfall Cottage is a bijou cottage for two (plus dog) with bags of character.

  Set in a beautiful location off the beaten track with lots of walks on the doorstep and stunning views of Snowdonia. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The lovely hosts Sue and Gary were very keen to share their knowledge of the local area including its history and they made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. The cottage was 2 miles from Beddgelert and it was in a perfect spot for exploring the coast, railways and castles of this part of Wales. We were very lucky with the weather but had come prepared for showers. We did experience difficulty eating out in the area due a shortage of hospitality staff, so would recommend that visitors are prepared for self catering, which is easy in the well catered kitchen. A great holiday and we plan to return.

  We had a great time at Penrallt.

  Plenty to do for the whole family. Lots of lovely walks, quiet beach nearby - allows dogs. The Butterfly and Bird Palace on Anglesey was amazing - we all loved it. We also went to the deep mine at Llechwedd mines which was fantastic. We didn’t get a chance to go to Caernarfon castle but hope to stay here again soon and have promised my castle mad son we will go then!! The cottage was perfect. Loved the fact that there were a selection of toys and books for children. The books for adults were also appreciated as I’d forgotten to pack mine! The cottage was clean, great kitchen facilities and warm and cosy. Will definitely be booking again!

  Condition and length of road to cottage ahould be better explained in the advert .

  Layout of exterior of property is a little deceptive as we thought the seating area was directly outside waterfall cottage . Was not aware owner had a dog that had free roam of grounds prior to booking . Water from taps is brown and offputting we purchased bottled water but even when boiling this in the kettle it went cloudy due to the tap water being boiled prior . Cottage was a lot smaller than appeared in the pictures and a little clostraphobic . Parking for 2 cars but unable to turn car around when both spaces occupied . Overall a beatiful location and host however we felt a little by the cottage and its layout for the price point
