Dyffryn Bach is a cottage with a homely feel, praised for its comfortable furnishings and convenient location for exploring North Wales. The owner, Anni, is often mentioned for her friendliness, though some guests found her presence and her dogs' behaviour intrusive. While some guests reported issues with cleanliness and maintenance, others enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and the property's amenities.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the property not up to standard, mentioning dampness, mould, and a need for a deep clean. However, some guests reported the cottage as clean, affecting the overall score.
The location is well-regarded as a base for exploring Snowdonia and surrounding areas, with amenities nearby. However, some guests noted the proximity to a busy road and lack of footpaths for walking, which slightly lowers the score.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with cosy bedding and a warm atmosphere. However, issues with heating and boiler problems have been noted, which impacts the comfort level for some stays.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen and good shower mentioned, but several guests experienced issues with heating, hot water, and general maintenance. The presence of a garage and shop nearby is a plus.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Sally
The beds were comfortable and the house really snug and warm. The fire was easy to use. We brought extra wood and coal which are needed if you want to keep it going. The kitchen has everything you could need. We had torrential rain whilst there and the walls are made of stone so you could see where the walls had absorbed the water and it left the building slightly damp near one end of the property. But the owner is doing everything possible to stop this with dehumidifier and cleaning etc. This is a dog friendly house with blankets to protect the furniture that were clean for us to use. The conservatory and garden would have been fab if it was warmer weather but staying in January was a bit wasted on us but was great to be able to let the dog out with no worries of her getting out as itâs a stone wall all round. Only down side was that we had to drive everywhere. But thereâs a shop next door (Texaco) so didnât matter to us. Bala was about a 15min drive with lots of pubs for meals etc.

Wi fi was fast and was able to stream films on the smart tv but could not get free view channels through sky. Some error with sky card. Was very quiet and the near by petrol station sold very cheap fuel and the shop was handy for milk etc.Overhaul would highly recommend. Thanks to the owner.
