Exceptional cottage on beautiful grounds. Very well looked after and maintained. Gamekeepers Cottage has a very large garden leading to a large pond and has outstanding views in front. Large amount of crockery and utensils - everything that you need! As a group we felt that the lounge furniture was rather uncomfortable as the seat cushions would move forward and you would have to repeatedly fix them (fixed seating would be better). The only downside to this cottage location compared to others that we have used in the past, is that there are no direct walking routes from the actual c...more
After many visits to Rivercatcher we decided this time to have a family break and stay in Cilan House. What a wonderful few days it was, everybody had such an enjoyable time that we have already decided to book for next year. Even the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of the secure garden . A great highlight, especially for the teenagers, was the hot tub. The games room also was a hit. The atmosphere was very festive with all the outside Christmas lights and the indoor Christmas trees and decorations.
This was just a sublime visit. It far exceeded all our expectations and was simply perfect for us and the dogs. Absolutely everything that one would need was provided for. Thank you so much for a super stay.
Just spent a last minute break in Gezellig lodge. The standards are extremely high here, the lodge is absolutely perfect with your every need covered. Snug, comfortable and well equipped. They are beautiful lodges. The landscaping and garden furniture are immaculate, we even used the hot tub. The lodges are perfectly positioned to take in the outstanding views of the mountains, from your bed, sofa or decking. You have complete privacy and the stay was a real treat. My husband was thrilled to catch brown trout, salmon par and a number of greyling. We enjoyed some nice trips out to Pontysycllte ...more
Second time we have stayed at river catcher, we absolutely love it and we are back for a special family birthday in February
This is the second time we have visited Rivercatcher and find the location very relaxing. The Flyfishers accommodation is exactly what we require.
The property is lovely with quality furniture and furnishings, and is in a stunning location. Although near to amenities, we could hear no traffic noise from the nearest road, it was just quiet and peaceful. We loved it there! We had a couple of minor problems whilst there, but they were sorted out very promptly by Aled, (one of the maintenance team on site). He is very helpful and knowledgeable, and willing to share information about the local area. Rivercatcher is well placed for visiting a number of places of interest, for example, Lake Bala is very close, also the Aquaduct at Llan...more
Location is idyllic. Staff, even grounds keepers, going out of their way to be helpful and friendly . After fifty years of regularly visiting Wales, we have found our favourite place to stay. One negative -- we have asked for tariff and availability for next spring and the promised phone call has not happened. A shame. We could have enjoyed a return but we won't chase them down for it.
We visited a few years ago and had a lovely time. Came back and stayed again, it did not disappoint! Welcome basket is great and really enjoyed it. Same excellent cabins and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub especially whilst snow falling. Great location with really nice walks nearby. Staff very friendly and maintain everything really well. Would highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back again in the future!
