Lovely accommodation
We was met as soon as we arrived by clare. Cottage lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The electric fire didnt give a lot of heat out but there was a spare electric heaterunder the stairs. The only thing i would suggest is maybe a throw in the living room just to snuggle under on an evening.

Second stay in lovely north wales
This is the second time me and my partner has stayed in Clare’s lovely cottage. It’s a beautiful quiet area and is a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage is perfect for what we wanted the whole process was very easy and Clare was very accommodating with any questions and even provided milk tea and coffee which was very nice. The cottage was very clean and the sofa and bed was very comfortable. There are many places near by of interest as-well as a shop. Our stay was wonderful and definitely would come back again, perfect relaxing holiday for couples.

I found the place to be remote enough to be quiet but near enough to places to shop or explore some wonderful scenery and places to visit. My visit went too quick, and I would consider coming back.

Easy access to Snowdonia
The cottage is cosy and was great for a one-person stay. It’s within a few miles of shops (at Penygroes) and is not far from Rhyd Ddu village (and walking track to the top of Mount Snowdon). It’s also easy to get to other sightseeing areas - eg, Caernarfon, Bangor, Anglesey, Barmouth, Mach Loop, Dolgellau. And there are plenty of rambling walking tracks nearby.

I enjoyed my stay at Clare's so very much. The place was lovely, quite and peaceful. Clare has been incredibly helpful and kind. She went above and beyond her responsibilities as a host. On my first evening there, she picked me up in a remote town where I accidentally ended up, not knowing the area... I would recommend this stay. If you're a solo traveler you will feel safe and supported, and the surrounding area is so beautiful, with lots of walks and places to visit!

Me and my partner stayed here for my birthday this week and we could not have asked for a better place to have stayed. Clare is so helpful and she goes out her way to find things to do that you specifically want to be doing. The cottage was beautiful, the location was just gorgeous and super quiet. We are rwallly happy with the overall experience we were given. Thank you so much

Just had a midweek break at this property and must sat what a great location fantastic host very helpful gave us loads of ideas of where to go and things to do only 8 mile from caernarfon and 5 mile to beach. Very clean property with everything you need to be sufficient .would definitely recommend and will definitely be back if it's peace and quiet you want then this is the place to go and a great price and if you like to walk then the disused quarry behind the property is perfect to walk round and is full of history

Holiday Cottage not ideal.
Hi when we seen this cottage on your web site it looked lovely and went ahead and booked it.on ariving at cottage were handed the keys and went to enter the cottage only to that the cottage was split in two.so realy we wer sharing the cottage.nothing on the web site about that.the noise from the other guests moving around early in mornings and at night not good.the bed was very hard and noisy also the seate in the living room smelt musty we put a throw over it when sitting on it if we had known this would not have booked.very.disapointed as we wanted a quiet break.hope you can add this to your web site that people booking understand this.we came a day early as we had no pease and quiet thanks derek&bernardette.

Our property description is “We offer a one-bedroom property, in a detached building, which accommodates two separate holiday homes.” There is only a communal entrance between the two properties, so your comment about sharing the cottage is misleading. During your stay, you didn’t mention any problems with the noise from guests next door and we never heard anything from outside. Other guests have mentioned how comfortable they found the bed, perhaps people differ in their preference regarding the softness of a mattress. I don’t understand the comment of a noisy bed. The feedback of the settee having a musty smell is something we haven’t noticed but will check. I wonder why it took you 3 months to mention it. I remember when checking out, your one complaint was that it was too hot for the walks you had planned to do. A very unusual comment for North Wales. The weather certainly was beautiful and ideal for the beaches here. Our holiday home is located in a very quiet area but is within easy driving distance of a lot of attractions. We take pride in the accommodation we offer.

Not s as described
When we booked the cottage. We thought it was the whole cottage. But it’s actually two accommodations. A left and a right occupation. This was not made clear in the owners description. Also the sofa in our accommodation was well past it’s best. The Cushions where so soft, you sank into them and you couldn’t sit properly. The tv remote didn’t work, although there where so few channels to choose it didn’t really matter. The sink area was located below the stairs leading to the bedroom, which meant you had to be careful you didn’t bang your head on them when you went to the sink. I’m only 5ft 8” and I hit it a couple of times. If your over 6ft, you may end up with a lot of bumps on your head by the end of your stay. All I can say is if your not that fussy and can live with that, the cottage location is superb. The road to Ryhd Ddu that it’s on is spectacular. And your surrounded by many attractions and other note worthy locations. So it is great for that, but I and my wife won’t be returning to this rental.

In our description, we made it clear the holiday home is not a detached property. You queried the facilities of the home, before your arrival. We spoke on the phone and were available to answer any questions. With the sofa, the cushions have feathers so I would expect the seating to feel soft and comfortable. You never mentioned to us the t.v. remote not working, even though you saw us a few times. A replacement has been ordered and was delivered in two days. It would have been helpful to have known about this earlier, not only for your convenience but for the convenience of the guests following your booking. I find your comments regarding the sink area, misleading at best. There is a height clearance of 7 ft 6" at the sink, which reduces to 6 ft 2" towards the corner. You are approximately the same height as myself, and I've never hit my head on the ceiling in 17 years. A request was made to extend your stay, but unfortunately we weren’t able to accommodate this. It was mentioned you made an error with the number of nights, when placing the booking. We’re pleased you enjoyed the area. The home was left tidy, for which we thank you and your wife.

The property was as expected in its layout. It was very clean and tidy everywhere and had all we needed for a self-catering stay. The bed was comfortable and I slept well every night (I'm someone whose body can be severely upset by the bed!). The vista was beautiful and it was all very quiet. It suited us very well indeed.
