The furniture was a nice style and feels quite homely. Unfortunately though,there was a large amount of dust in a few places in the house. The double bedroom wardrobe on top had a large layer of dust and the oven top in the kitchen and some of the storage heaters and lights. The heating was quite tricky to turn on and off when needed in the day as couldn't find the timer in the airing cupboard where mentioned. The kitchen had a lovely style but sadly is very small and struggled to get myself and partner in there due to the small space in there. The double bed mattress sadly was uncomfortable and could almost feel the springs into your back when lying down. Overall though it is a lovely style it wasn't suitable for myself and my partner as we use the kitchen the most. The area is beautiful around the area and was a shame to not have towels for the price we paid for the accommodation. The bathroom was lovely and facilities were clean besides some dust around the cupboards. Some walking trails around the area but hard to notice. Great for a few days stay nothing more.

This is a very cosy mid-terrace property in Tanygrisiau. We stayed as a family with two teenage sons and they loved it. It is in an ideal location for strolling in to Blaenau Ffestiniog and riding the railway and Zip World. It's a short drive to Porthmadog and Port Merrion or you can take the steam train from the village station into Porthmadog and on to Caernarfon. The cottage sits in the shadow of the Moelwyn Hills and there is some fantastic trails and treks into the hills from the village. The walk up to the top of the Stwlan Dam, which forms part of the Ffestiniog Hydro Electric power station, is a must and the views from the top are awesome! All on a paved road, but it is long and pretty steep in places. All in all we couldn't fault the cottage or it's location and may return again.

Lovely little cottage, perfect for our family of 4 and dog. Very considered utensils and maps which we utilised. The play park opposite was used daily and stunning views all around. Comfortable accommodation and a shower that worked well.

Me and my friend had a fantastic time away staying in this cottage. The property wowed us as soon as we arrived. It was spotlessly tidy. I really liked the cosiness and charm of the property, the wood flooring, wood fire and more. The location was great, everywhere we wanted to go was within a short drive away, the railway, Snowdon, lakes, forest walks, nearby town. The scenery everywhere we went was breathtaking, a world away from home! I would definitely consider staying at this property again, I have nothing but find memories of my holiday.

The property has everything that you need for a week away. The location is stunning, there are plenty of walks that can be done right from the property. If you love exploring then the slate mines are amazing. I would highly recomend go below underground adventures if you like adrenaline pumping adventure. The only bad thing about the property was that the beds could have been more comfortable but apart from that its a great place to stay.



Another highly satisfying stay in this cottage.

We were welcomed in the very clean house. It was our second stay there so we new what to expect and we chose this cottage. We were blessed with the weather. Long walks finished with the Trish and Chips take away (highly recommended). Amazing views, stunning weather, nice people around and comfy bed at night.
