  Really enjoyed our stay at Beudy'r Wennol.

  Lovely barn conversion, with lots of space for 6 adults. Loved the open plan kitchen/living room and spent many hours sitting at the kitchen table enjoying meals and playing games with our family. 3 nice bedrooms (although one of them doesn't have any drawers/hanging space which is a bit inconvenient). Beds were large and comfy. Nice gardens both front and back (although the lawns could have done with being cut before we arrived). A few suggestions for improvements: 1. More utensils/cooking equipment in the kitchen - only had 2 small frying pans, no large deep frying pan or wok so we had to go and buy one. Also, very little in the way of dishes/oven dishes to prepare meals in, again we had to purchase one. Such a beautiful kitchen should be better equipped for cooking meals for 6 people. Also no oven gloves which proved challenging. 2. Would be nice if there were things like washing up liquid/bin liners/kitchen roll provided. 3. Inadequate recycling bins - 3 small boxes for both properties (we were unable to put out a lot of our rubbish) 4. Insufficient garden furniture for 6 people - we were unable to all sit outside at the same time as there were only 4 chairs (2 at the front and 2 at the back which we had to keep moving around to follow the sun). Also a bigger table to seat 6 so that meals could be eaten outside 5. Bathroom toilet didn't flush very well and en-suite toilet had a leak. 6. Blinds of some sort on the skylights - very light very early in the mornings! 7. No point in having the pool table as there is not enough room around it play properly PS Thanks for the lovely fruit cake which we enjoyed on our arrival :-)

  Ok, there were some really good things about this property that we loved but overall there were too many things that we disliked so we would not return here again.

  The driveway up to the house needs work, it’s really rough and bumpy. Someone had put sharp pieces of slate down which were jagged and looked like they could puncture tyres. The bushes to the side of the driveway up to the house were all overgrown and thick brambles were hanging over and would scratch every time we drove in and out the property. As for the house, upstairs was very good, lovely and clean, comfortable. Downstairs however was not our cup of tea at all. The lighting for the kitchen and living room is so dim, it needs more lighting. The kitchen was a lovely space, great cooker and the owners had left us a lovely surprise gift of tea bags, bara brith and Welsh cakes which was so lovely. It’s just a bit dark in the kitchen. The living room has the same problem, it’s quite dark, feels like it’s part of another house. It could do with some work, it did feel a bit creepy to be honest, I didn’t really like spending time in there. We were so excited to see the wood burning fire but it just filled the room with a smoky smell, then we had to open the windows to try and get rid of the smell and then it was freezing cold in there. I can imagine it having a different feel in the summer time because you would have more light during the day, you could make use of the lovely outdoor space, it’s really quiet, no one else around, there is plenty of space for children and dogs to play. We can see that a lot of people have stayed here and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t for us. If the owners made some improvements, it would make a huge difference. It does have the potential but in my opinion some work is needed for sure.

  A beautiful cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location, exactly what we needed.

  Our only issue was the track leading up to the cottage. For old cars or those with low exhausts, be aware you will struggle as it is rutted and uneven and rocky so badly in places we overheated our clutch and our low exhaust sounds like it has a problem now. This should be made clear in the description so we could have made a more informed choice. I got out of the car on arriving at the bottom of the track with our dog in the hope the lighter load would help. It didn’t. We had to take it back down very very slowly after unloading and left it by the lane. Every day we took everything we’d need for our short trips out and walk down to the car and back upon our return which is about a three minute uphill walk. We got absolutely drenched one morning but nothing could convince us to take our car up. We needed it to get home! The cottage is absolutely superb and we had our bedroom window open all night to watch the moon and stars. If you want absolute peace and quiet, this is perfect. Sometimes we heard the neighbours and their dogs in the morning, but it wasn’t intrusive. A lovely welcome pack on our arrival was a kindness. We would return now that we know what we’d be dealing with.

  The cottage was very nicely presented, warm and comfortable.

  We had a number of minor niggles. There was no information/welcome pack telling us anything about how things worked etc. There were not enough glasses, cups and crockery so when the dishwasher was full, there was a distinct shortage of stuff. Most of the kitchen cupboards were empty, so it’s not as if there was no room to keep things. There was not enough variety of things to cook with, such as a good selection of bakeware, pots and pans. Most of the toilets were difficult to flush. One had a very loose toilet seat and most had no loo brush. There were no cleaning products. There were no chopping boards and not a good selection of food preparation knives. Extra towels and tea towels would be nice. They could do with a selection of books, games, jigsaws etc. for rainy days. Guests will often leave things like that, but it would be good to get a collection going. There are lots of empty cupboards to keep things like that in. These are just minorniggles and should’ve taken as suggestions to improve the visitor experience. We had a lively time there and the property is In an excellent location close to lots of great places to visit. Would definitely recommend it.

  Absolutely stunning property, it felt like we were staying in our dream home.

  We couldn’t believe it from the moment we stepped in, it was so worth the long drive. So warm with the underfloor heating, and a cosy wood burner as well. We didn’t use the woodburner as much as we thought as the strong winds ate up the logs quickly and the underfloor heating is so good on its own. Lots of space for cooking yummy meals with all the utensils you need. We climbed Snowdon while we were there and it was lovely coming back to a hot bath and warm floor under our feet. The furniture and decor are gorgeous, the beds are like clouds. Didn’t want to leave! It must be even better in summer when you can use the garden too. We will definitely book again and recommend this place very highly to anyone thinking of booking. Only small things were the charger socket in the bathroom doesn’t work, it would be nice to have some curtains in the living room/kitchen (might be just me though :)) and the toilets don’t have great water flow for flushing. The owner was helpful as we arrived late she kindly checked on us later the next morning. Thank you for a great stay in such a beautiful place.
