This location, whilst tricky to find, is just fantastic; breathtaking views and peace and quiet! The cottage was clean and well equipt, including information about the area and lots of board games. Our kids LOVED feeding the chickens our scraps and the pool was a big hit and a decent size for proper swimming. We had good weather so largely used the house as a base to explore the area and all the beaches. The owner was friendly and helpful, but kept to himself which we appreciated. We would certainly recommend this property to friends and family and would book again should we go to the same are...more
The cottage is a small two bed terrace house in the centre of a small village. It was very clean and had everything that you could need, and more! A warm welcome with goods from the welsh food centre was really nice. It is directly opposite the village pub, The Bee but this didn't disturb us. The pub is closed Monday, Tuesday but then has something different every night so a great reason to go back every night and not to cook. Pizza and quiz on Wednesday was good fun. Close to Conwy, Bodnant Gardens, Llandudno and slate mines, zip wires, bounce below and more. We would definitely recommend...more
An ideally located property, easy to get around Snowdonia, Angelsey and the North Welsh Coast from. Bangor is very close for the Supermarket and the local service station has a decent shop. We did not eat out but there are plenty of pubs etc in nearby Tregarth and Bethesda. The property itself is very clean, it looks recently decorated and well maintained, it was great to have a shower that actually gets you wet and is simple to control (often not the case). The kitchen had all the utensils you require the only thing not there is a grill. The property felt very homely and we were made v...more
A very clean comfortable cottage with great views overlooking Conway estuary from the balcony The cottage was well equipped with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable and if you need anything Julie the host is on hand if you have any problems.
Just a wonderful place to batten down the hatches over Christmas. Mark was so helpful with the few queries we had. Just a great place in a beautiful part of the world - that beach & sea view!!! We’ll be back again! Chris & Dee x
Been twice before still as good as the first time. Convenient for the local amenities and in a quite area. Good value and the welcome pack is handy. All you need to make a brew as soon as you arrive.
The house is fantastic could find no fault .The only issue we had was there were builders at the property building garages ,we weren't told and to be woken up 4 morning at 7.45 with noise whilst on holiday was not good, the builders walked around the outside of the house for power not what you want whilst having breakfast On the Thursday we had a photographer standing outside bedroom window at 9.30 .again with no notice .The property and owners are lovely but we feel that notice before we arrived would have been nice or even the house not used for booking this week . The house is expensive a...more
The Old Rectory Bach is a lovely place to stay. The accommodation can't be faulted it is clean,modern and well equipped. There is all you need to cook, prepare meals and eat. The view from the cottage is not stunning but you can eat your meals and watch cows, sheep and rabbits. We often heard owls hooting (you have to be outside) and if the weather is right there is a well equipped summer house and bbq area. We found the bed comfortable and so was the sofa in the lounge area. There is free wifi, a flat screen tv (with freesat) and dvd player. Overall it is a great place to explore North ...more
Perfect cottage for time away with the family. Lovely views, peaceful location and close to lots of places to visit. Swimming pool was an added bonus loved by the kids. Nice gardens for kids to run around and hens to feed. Cottage had all the things you would need and was lovely and clean. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return.
Having spent a fabulous week at Plas Afron Cottage with my family We all agreed that it was an amazing experience from the cottage it’s self which was as good as if not better than the pictures on site when we booked to the location which allowed us easy access for touring about the wonderful North Wales. The Cottage was beautifully laid out with lovely touches one being garden which had magical fairy lights that with the back drop of the hills and great weather was very nice for sitting out after a busy day seeing the sites. My children were delighted with rooms one being on suite and my ...more
Had a lovely time thank you. Glorious setting and very hospitable hosts. All three cottages were lovely and worked well for three families.
Property was ideal and the customer service perfect. We would certainly recommend this property and will use it again, if we decide to have a holiday in Anglesey.
We had a wonderful stay for my husbands birthday. The house was the perfect size for our party (5 adults and 2 babies) and provided a really comfortable stay. The aga was good fun to cook on and the large kitchen was wonderful for spending time in. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.
very well presented with plenty of added extras that were appreciated.being old, the stairs presented a bit of a problem. but we enjoyed our stay.
The treehouse was such a fantastic find. The space was ideal for myself and my boyfriend and our dog, with everything you could need. The owners were extremely welcoming and friendly and encouraged us to make use of their beautiful garden which we all loved especially our dog Maisy. There was even a bottle of wine on arrival which was most appreciated after a long drive and the owners even provided detailed information for nearby places of interest and restaurants, a nice little touch. The view from the treehouse is outstanding whilst the kitchen in the cupboard is a great use of space. The lo...more
A pleasant stay in an exquisite location. However, WiFi connection poor and washing machine not working.
Stayed in the farmhouse with my husband and 2 children (13 & 6) and had the most comfortable and enjoyable stay. The farmhouse location ensures privacy, comfort and silence (except the odd sheep!) Even with its secluded location half way up the huge hill, its not very far to drive to get to the most gorgeous beaches and the thrills of all the activities north wales has to offer. We had the best time and the farmhouse provided a real 'home from home' at the end of each fun packed day!!
Caretaker's Cottage. Ffin y Parc is one of the most beautiful places I have stayed. The place is so classy. We stayed in one of the cottages. One arrival we were greeted with a bottle of red wine / coffee with several cakes on the table. (Nice touch). All cakes are home made in the coffee shop. The decor in the cottage is right up to date with the outstanding art work. The beds are so comfortable with great quality bedding. The grounds are on 14 acres of land plenty of space to enjoy. Stunning backdrop from the garden. The gallery next door is really worth a visit. It is over two fl...more
The apartment was great; ideal location and super facilities. Lots of space for 2 couples - big bedrooms, roomy sofas in the lounge for all to collapse on after busy days out. Nice to have the bedrooms on different floors as well, as it gave us the feeling of a bit more privacy for each couple. Unfortunately, the smell of damp and general dampness throughout let it down a bit. We did a wash while we were away, but due to the weather weren't able to hang the items outside, and some things weren't properly dry by the time we left (too warm to put on heating). Slippers and jackets left in the...more
My wife, daughter, and I loved our stay at Jackdaw Cottage. We did not have a car. The location inside the city walls was perfect. The entire city is within walking distance. When we arrived we were notified that the downstairs heating element was out. No problem, we have been provisioned with extra coal, firewood, and kindling for staying warm. Upstairs was quite cozy as the heaters worked fine. The space was perfect for us and we had no issues. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Wales, we will be returning to Jackdaw Cottage.
From the warm welcome by Beth the owner with her delicious home made Bara Bryth to her goodbyes a week later....everything was perfect. The accommodation is second to none....the kitchen is the best equipped I have seen....but if you do not fancy cooking...there are two pubs nearby that have a good menu... the lounge has a beautiful log fire with two comfy sofas to curl up on ...the bedroom has superb panoramic views of the beautiful surrounding area... You are within driving distance of lots of beautiful lakes castles and the seaside.... we shall definitely return...
We booked this at the last minute on the strength of the photos of the view. We were not disappointed; there was always something to look at. The flat was well equipped and comfortable. The maintenance issues we found were quickly and politely sorted by the agents.
Lovely cottage with friendly hosts. Great location, away from it all, but near all the local attractions
Beautiful property in the national park. Well equipped kitchen and nice shower room. Property is an ideal base to explore the surrounding area and owners are on site if you have need of assistance.
Lovely cottage a nice size for all your needs well equipped and great location for discovering all Wales has to offer
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
Séjour de 2 nuits, à 8 personnes (4 adultes, 4 enfants). Bel emplacement avec vue sur le château de Conwy. Maison assez spacieuse, avec tout le confort attendu. Bon état intérieur, et très propre. Joli jardin, bien entretenu. Bien située pour rayonner sur le Nord du Pays de Galles, beaucoup d'endroits superbes à visiter. A savoir qu'il n'y a qu'un seul emplacement pour stationner la voiture. Nous n'avons pas réussi à allumer le poêle : un kit d'allumage aurait été utile. Bref, adresse recommandable.
Location was good for exploring North Wales with easy access to Conwy, Llandudno and Anglesey, all of which are well worth visiting. The apartment itself was OK. Beds were comfortable, heaps of wardrobe space equipment in wardrobes for a baby (though it would be difficult getting a baby and pram down to the apartment I think), full size fridge in kitchen (always a bonus) and fantastic views over the estuary. We really enjoyed our stay in the area. But there are a few negatives: 1) the parking area for the car is very dodgy - it is in a dead-end back street and at night there were lots of...more
It is in an excellent location a few small things let it down. It was a shame there had not been anybody in the week before and it had not been checked. We found mouse droppings in the wardrobe in the annex and oil splashed up the back of the cooker. Empty packets under the settee and i'm afraid the telly is on its way out. But all that said it's a great place and swimming in the lake was great and all the walks. The last few miles can be a bit tight if you have a big car but our daughter thought it was great in her small one. It is a beautiful part of the country and well worth a visit.
The Apartment was very nice, cosy an clean. The fridge was full of delicious things for an original welsh breakfast. The furnitures were new and the kitchen was also well equipped. It was very near to the city centre and the promenade as well as the most of sights in town. It was a pleasant stay for our family.
A wonderful cottage in a wonderful area! We had a great time in North Wales. The house has more than enough space. We loved the conservatory with look in the nature. Perfect for families. Colwyn Bay have many supermarkets and many other shops. We can absolutely recommend this house.
