    The property needs a lot of TLC, all the floors throughout the property need attention, the beds all soft, basic but adequate but could be beautiful with some TLC, the trees/bushes in the front garden need serious cutting back as losing the amazing views before too much longer. The parking was better on the main road at the bottom of the bank.

    The views were beautiful

    A comfortable stay and the kids loved it but the property needs some maintenance

    Could do with some refurbishment. Wardrobe and shower screen doors broken and a few drawer knobs came off in our hands. Couldn't get wifi as the info provided didn't match the networks available (in fairness we didn't raise this with the host and I'm sure he would have sorted it). Would be good to give some warning of how steep the hill leading to the house is as many people would struggle. Also found it quite hard to find as the road name isn't marked.

    The property has beautiful views and was clean and uncluttered; there was plenty of room for us all. The host got back to us very quickly when we asked for help finding something. Basic but had everything we needed and is in a really good location. You can easily walk to shops, rail station and other local amenities and it's a very short drive from local attractions.

    It can get very cold and wish we brought a blanket. However, the heating worked fine once it had warmed the house. Also, need to be careful on the stairs. Both inside and out are very steep, which obviously can't be helped, but someone with mobility issues may struggle. Host left great instructions and responded well though so not really a negative but something to note.

    Great place to stay for the weekend, had everything we needed, and enough space for the 6 of us. Location was perfect for us, as our main reason for the trip was to climb Snowdon, which was about 30 mins away.

    We messaged the owner as we were having issues with the WiFi but he never got back to us. Luckily after the first day, we sussed that in finding the WiFi password at the back of the box, I’d moved it unintentionally and the wire connection is a bit hit and miss, so after some fiddling of the box and plug connections, it then stayed on. Box for hairdryer in the double bedroom but no hairdryer! And I did look everywhere for it, but presume someone previously has nicked it. Luckily I’d brought some dry shampoo and we were only there a couple of days, else it would have been an issue lol. Certain areas looking a bit tired, such as shower doors which don’t close properly.

    Downstairs space really good and comfy sofas to sit and unwind after a day’s exploring. Dishwasher with tablets available which meant we didn’t have to spend time washing up 😄 Upstairs area adequate. We found the bed (double) quite comfy actually, even though others have previously complained. Great walks right outside the door. Just turn left out the property and there’s a path. Lovely views from the front garden. Good communication prior to the visit and front door key was easy to access.

    Difficult parking, it is better not to drive directly to the house - a very steep hill. The equipment of the house is very simple, but sufficient.

    Excellent location, close to the city - shops and restaurants, railway station, mine, nice view. It was advised that there was no WiFi in the house, but it was and worked great, including the TV.

    Stairs very steep with wobbly hand rail - slippery slate steps to get up to the property would not advise if you have mobility problems. Bobbly bedsheets, some issues with housekeeping which were reported to the owner who contracts cleaners for the property.

    Perfect size for us and the open plan lounge was spacious, large bathroom with powerful shower. Front garden nice in the morning. Great WiFi parking and issue. Easy walking distance to the pub etc.

    A very stip hill to the cottage but we found an,alternative route. Unfortunately, somebody left their car on the driveway to the cottage so we couldn't stop in front of the house to unload the luggages. We had to park the cars at some distance and make a few journeys from the cars to the house. The heating was not on all the time and we didn't have access to the thermostat. However, we had an extra electric heater which we used.

    I was impressed by the fact that the heating was on when we arrived after 6 hours journey. We also had a nice Christmas tree with lights on. Comfortable beds, a big bathroom, a very nice living room with character.

    1. Very steep hill and no parking despite being told we could park outside the cottage, however we were pre warned by the host about the hill 2.Walkway has no lighting and in icing conditions was treacherous, garden was unkempt 3. Wood burner, is not connected and in need of repair, shame it wasn't available for use. 4. Kitchen appliances whilst very clean , were in need of maintenance, cooker display does not work old fridge under counter whilst a new fridge is also available, very blunt knives .There's a door in the kitchen that is held closed by a bolt that is drafty and when opened led to a room of rubbish. 5. Double bed in main room in need of repair , supports under the bed are in need of repair. Various cracks, mould around the property in need of repair. One bedroom has plastic concertina door leading directly to the creepy attic where according the the guest book a ghost lives 😃

    The stunning view and friendly local village. Large TV with streaming capabilities and internet available. Guest book full of ghost stories was entertaining. Great location for local actives and hikes. Good heating the cottage was lovely and warm

    Hole in the master bedroom wall, leaking tap in the kitchen. Some damaged ceiling in the next bedroom, damp on the ceiling in the bathroom, attic doors located in one of the bedrooms (attic not finished, plenty of material and tools lying around). Overall the place was dirty in some areas, the kitchen needs upgrading as well as all kitchenware. The fridge is on its last breath. Beds were on, however the state of the bedrooms should be better. Even though it is a beautiful location I would not stay again.

    The only thing that was exceptional was the location, however it is a very steep hill to drive up to the property. Plenty of walking trails around and great views.

    condition of the whole property, especially the kitchen. deplorable condition, dirty, and a lot of items not enough for two families. all bed mattresses were so terrible, the cheapest I guess. handrail for the staircase was broken. hook on the living room takes off when i hang only one jacket. generally, we had experiences with Wales homes but this was the worst condition. should be much cheaper.

    wifi was good. and the living room nice big space. shops around. no more.

    The property lacked any character. Unfortunately the kitchen was poorly equipped there were light bulbs missing (including from the upstairs landing, kinda important), there was only one roll of toilet paper - we had to buy more, only 3 beds we're made - we had additional guests and asked for extra bedding which didn't arrive until the following evening, and some of the mattresses we're definitely due an upgrade. All in all it was a bit disappointing. We were in town for a friend's wedding and many other friends were staying in other holiday lets, so we had plenty of comparison! It was essentially somewhere to sleep, little more and in that it served it's purpose moderately well.

    It was walking distance to our friend's farm where her wedding was taking place.
