Guests say
Glan Nug Bach is a well-regarded holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, beautiful views, and peaceful location. The property is appreciated for its suitability for couples and pets, with a secure outdoor space and proximity to local attractions. The welcoming touches and nearby pub add to its charm, although some guests noted areas for improvement in maintenance and noise from the nearby road.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as dirty sinks, ovens, and an infestation of flies, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is frequently described as beautiful and idyllic, ideal for exploring North Wales and Snowdonia. The proximity to a local pub is a plus. Some guests mentioned traffic noise due to the nearby road, but it did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback about the location.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a secure yard for dogs. Some concerns were raised about the size of the property, uncomfortable furniture, and noise from the road, which affects the score.
The property is equipped with necessary facilities, and guests appreciated the fully enclosed garden and off-road parking. Criticisms include intermittent internet, a leaky shower, and maintenance issues like rusty stairs, which suggest room for improvement.
While some guests mentioned receiving a welcome gift, such as a bottle of wine, there are not enough references to consistently assess the thoughtfulness of the host across all reviews. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
This delightful Betws-y-Coed cottage, in the tiny hamlet of Rhydlydan, is a perfect retreat from busy working life for two people to enjoy a relaxing holiday or exploring this wonderful corner of North Wales. This small, yet well-equipped first-floor apartment is accessed up a flight of external steps next to the Afon Nug stream, from which the cottage takes its name. The entrance door opens into an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchenette, dining area for two and sitting area with sofa and a TV. There is also a shower room and a well-appointed double bedroom. Outside, a small, decked garden provides a pleasant seating area where you can sit and listen to the running water of the stream and enjoy the countryside views onto the Hiraethog Mountain.
The ground floor of this cottage is home to a private utility room. There are wonderful walks and cycle rides right from the doorstep of this North Wales cottage, and the village pub is less than two minutes' walk away. You need not venture far from this pretty cottage to enjoy fishing, walking, championship go karting, kayaking or even climbing Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. This Rhydlydan cottage will certainly be a relaxing base after busy days exploring all Snowdonia has to offer. Note: This property is next door to Ref. 26312, together they sleep 12.

The shower was covered in thick black mould all over the trim as well it leaked the door was mucky and mouldy inside so I spent my first day cleaning up everything including the cutlery drawer .the steps leading out are all rusty and could do with a proper coatvof paint .we didn't see the owners all the time we were there not even for a first day greeting .there is no games room as advertised. If I could of I would of drove back home but couldn't afford too and only have set weeks holiday a year so I end up cleaning other peoples mess etc not what you expect when you payed nearly 500 pounds for just 6 nights

stains on mattress and pillow protectors. No garden to speak of just somewhere to park your car. BBQ dirty old and still had ash from previous. Unpacked car, checked out place, used microwave which was clean, washed up repackaged car and came home. To say disappointed is putting it mild.
