From the moment we arrived at the entrance gates and we could see the property in front of us, we were blown away by how gorgeous it looked. When we entered the very large hall, we were greeted with lovely perfumed aroma's. There were plug in air fresheners around the house and it smelt divine. What a welcome. The house was perfect in every room and the quality of the furnishings and how thick the carpets are throughout, made this house so special in every way. I cannot thank Caroline our lovely caretaker enough for her kindness and attention to detail........... and then the icing on the cake...more
2 adults and 3 teenagers, we found the house very welcoming and super well equipped. Ideal for families looking to explore the sites near and far. You can forget the car and go on local walks or drive max 30 minutes to wonderful popular locations like bangor Anglesey and llanberis. We had a wonderful time and the house was a massive part of it
Myself, my family and our dog spent a week in Beech Dreams and it was fantastic. The property was beautifully decorated and furnished. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We wanted to explore the area so it was very well positioned to visit Snowdon (1 hour away), Betws-y-Coed (30 mins away), a few minutes drive from Llandudno & Conwy and a 20 minute walk from Deganwy where we did a lovely coastal walk. We would definitely re-visit.
This is an excellent place to stay with superb views across the sea. Although situated on a main road it is very peaceful with shops close by
Owner very helpful, plenty if room for our group. Two bathrooms/showers really helpful. We had two cars and although tight got them into the designated area. Fantastic views, lots of extras provided for a really enjoyable stay.
This cottage was ideal for us. We loved the venue with the art gallery and cafe next door. It was quiet and the owners were at hand only if the need arose. The cottage itself is well equipped and the decor and furniture was to our taste. We loved the art work on the walls. We would book the cottage again when staying in North Wales.
fabulous little hideaway in the welsh mountains...we couldnt have chosen a better place to spend christmas
Great property. The view is what makes it. Beds comfy with great quality bedding and nice soft towels. Great to have nice wine glasses as many rentals don’t. Nice to be able to walk to town. Good set-up in the family room. Overall great and will definitely be back.
Excellent place to stay. Rain or shine plenty of places to visit. Will definitely book cottage again.
Great facilities in an excellent cottage, perfect getaway. The owner was very helpful. I would thoroughly recommend the cottage.
Thank you Beth for being such a lovely host and making us and our dog Angus so welcome during our weekend stay at The Retreat. The house was lovely and clean and well stocked for everything we might need. (Forgot to thank you for the welcoming goodies too). The views were amazing! Loved sitting in bed with a cuppa looking out over the valley. Well situated and the Satnav took us to the property with no problems. Love to return in the future as Powys is beautiful!
We stayed here for 5 days for our wedding anniversary. The location is perfect for local walks, amenities and getting to more distant places by car. The cottage is very cosy, clean and generally a lovely place to come back to after a day out in the fresh air. There are some lovely restaurants and pubs a stone's throw away from the cottage. Overall would definitely recommend.
Had a wonderful stay house was spot on great base to see local area would reccomend it Garden secure for the dogs Views front and back fantastic
The location was exceptional with views across the estuary. Access is via the back of the property but it was a little steep. A key lockbox made it easy to check in at a convenient time but this was not clear from the advert. I would stay again as it was comfortable and ideally located for local restaurants and cafes. The station is just across the road giving great flexibility.
The owners of the cottage are amazing, really helpful and friendly. The location is superb, close to all the natural attractions. The gallery and coffee shop are a must; tastefully done and a great place to relax. The grounds are equally beautiful. The cottage itself is really nicely done with all the comfort you need. I would say this is the most beautiful cottage I have been in for a very long time. The only problem was that the kitchen and downstairs (apart from the bathroom) were too cold as the radiators in those areas did not get warm enough. We reported this to the owners and I am su...more
Not the cleanest ever but not awful. Great location but steps a bit of a nightmare for unloading cars; and with kids. Nice house though well equipped and everything works well with clear instructions. Would stay again overall good value for money.
We love this beautiful high spec cottage and will be booking again. It is very stylishly decorated and comfortable with Neff appliances, excellent under floor heating and comfortable beds - we slept like logs! The view of the sea is stunning esp from the private terrace. Our kids loved the upstairs eaved bedroom, garden, private river and quick little path to the seaside. The perfect place to stay on the Llyn.
See improvements to the stay at the cottage. Comfortable especially with the woodburning fire. Very spacious.
Located in the right place for us walking distance to Conway and Llandudno. The property was clean and spacious everything we needed was provided. The view was superb at the front, beaches to hand, restaurants just below which were excellent.Bit noisy but it was mentioned on the website (wine soon blots it out). All together we had a wonderful time.
The location was absolute brilliant, however the property is very dated and tired looking. We didn’t sit in the living room as there was a musty smell and the chairs were not comfortable and broken in parts. The bedrooms were dusty as were the other rooms. There was far too much personal belongings of the owner in the house … it didn’t feel like a holiday rental.
