  Snook’s Cottage Musty/dank smell throughout property especially in bedroom and inside kitchen cupboards.

  Dusty throughout and especially dirty in corners. Cobwebs. Needs a good deep clean / vacuum. No vacuum available to do that. Dirty under furniture, under the bed, under the couch, on the clothes rail that was under the bed. Clumps of hair and dirt. Fireplace in lounge hadn’t been cleaned. Bedroom Musty especially around Fireplace. Bedroom drawer inserts sagging. No wardrobe, just a clothes rail. Skylight above bed - no black out so we were awake at 6.30am. Lounge area Fleece on couch still had dog hair over it. Wifi good and Netflix / smart tv mostly working well. A few times we had to wait a few seconds for buffering. Bathroom No bath mat Bathroom tap should be a mixer as hot water for hot tap is too hot. No toilet roll holder. Kitchen No freezer space for food. Tap a little too short overhanging sink making washing dishes awkward. No egg cups No coffee making facilities. Random Glasses and crockery could have done with a good dishwash. Again musty smelling. Teapot badly stained. Musty smell from all kitchen cupboards. Cupboard above cooker / hob steam damaged and beginning to sag. Electrical socket directly above the hob. This doesn’t conform to H&S recommendations. Cupboard under sink - evidence of mice. They are through our plastic containers of dog food. No recycling. And told not to recycle for the private bin collection. This is archaic. Outside Bench outside - damaged/broken. Outside table uncared for / damp, rotting. Uncleanable so couldn’t use it for eating food. Outbuildings in garden crumbling / piles of slates. Not appealing and in dangerous for children. Overall All a bit tired, unloved, unkempt and uncared for. A real shame for a cottage with such potential. This cottage could be beautiful.

  This is a nice cottage, with character, own parking and very well located.

  It will easily accommodate 4 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is very well equipped and the facilities are generally good, just a bit dated, but fair for the price charged. The neighbourhood is quiet and the cottage is a great base for visiting the wonderful surroundings. The only objection we have is the cleanliness of the property: it simply needs a deep clean. The corners in the bathroom and kitchen had old dust, the carpets will certainly benefit from a good wet clean. The owner may want to check with their servicing company and hope this will be sorted. Another thing that was a problem when we arrived was a strong smell of gasoline in the lobby and the kitchen; it took us a while to figure it out: it was an open box of bbq firelighters which was left in the cupboard above the kitchen stairs, which we packed tightly in a plastic bag to avoid the smell escaping, but may BBQ fuel should not be stored in the cottage at all. I wonder why the servicing staff did not investigate the smell/ remove the the firelighters box as they were leaving the property as we arrived. Also, there was a black rubbish back near the gate in the back, I assume it was from the previous guests, but I would have hoped the service staff to remove it. We would return to this cottage, because we liked it. I just hope my comments can make future guests' stay more pleasant.

  We enjoyed our stay at snooks cottage.

  It was a lovely traditional Welsh cottage with some original features we we loved. Such as the open fires and tiles flooring open stone work on the walls. The beds were warm and comfy with the addition of the electric blankets which were fab! The fire in the bedroom was just so snug. Our dogs loved it. The garden was perfect for our two pugs although it’s not properly enclosed this wasn’t to much of an issue for our dogs. The only issue I really had , was the parking which was a bit tricky - just because the neighbours cars park so close to the top of the lane that’s it’s hard to reverse down or out. But we did so alls well that ends well! The location was great easy to access other areas in wales , we visited the slate mining village and had a great walk around the most stunning lake there! The views are outstanding and we loved the little gift shops. The ladies who worked there were friendly and helpful. Lastly a big thank you to Karen who kindly went out of her way to find our teddy which we forgot - Karen emailed me to let me know he was found and emailed again to let me know he had been posted safely back to us. If you like charm and original character properties with open fires then this is Perfect for you. Also the addition of fuel provided enough for our stay was most welcome.

  We had a lovely few days in the Cow Shed, using it as a base to explore the area.

  It’s brilliantly quirky, has a MASSIVE reception room for the number of beds, a well equipped kitchen and a largish enclosed garden (note it has a wide metal gate to the garden next door so enclosed but not private). The description isn’t accurate on a few points and needs reviewing & updating with a few more photos - the spiral staircase to the loft is in the bedroom and is steep and narrow, plus the loft is also open to the lounge so be aware of a lack of privacy and noise travelling from the kitchen/lounge to the loft. The garden was bigger & better than expected with great views, but unfortunately the outside bath/shower weren’t working, nor was the hob in the garden kitchen area. Also the foosball table is hidden away in the field and in poor condition. The directions were great making it easy to find, though trying to find the non existent key safe was a little confusing. Communication with the owner was good, there were a few bulbs out and they got these sorted quickly and at our convenience. Summary: A few things stop it being brilliant, rather than just good - we will consider going back as a couple with dog rather than with friends, or if there is a larger group renting some of the other properties at the same time. Thank you for a nice stay.

  There were positives and negatives.

  Positives: The quietness was wonderful and the space. Negatives: 1.The place was unloved. 2.The furniture was in dis-repair I took loads of photo's to share, but not sure where to post. The cutains were ripped and two chairs and a sofa were all ripped open. 3.All the kitchen equipment had to be cleaned before use .The tin opener was broken and no cork screw. 4.No welcome on a arrival only a man stuck his head out of the car to say enjoy when we arrived. 5.There was no allocated bin for our rubbish and all the other bins were spilling over with beer cans. 6.There were beer cans on the field in front of our sccommadation. 7.The outside bath wasn't working and it had green algae inside the bath.When I turned the water on the pipe had burst and water was everywhere. 8.The outside was totally over grown with weeds and the outside kitchen was filthy dirty you couldn't cook anything. 9.The barbaque had old coals inside and was rusty. We paid £640 for the stay ....such a disappointment we were so looking forward to resting in luxury after working for a year without a holiday .We will not be returning
