  : The cottage has the most amazing scenery, was cosy and was in easy distance of the town. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything that you would need to cook pretty much anything! The parking availability was good and right by the house which was really useful for us. We had some problems with the fire but after contacting the hosts they got back to us straight away every time, even calling and talking through some things with us. I would highly recommend! There are plenty of blankets and electric radiators for if you do struggle with the fire!
  : The cottage's central heating is based on the woodburner in the lounge, which we didn't realise until about a week or so before we went. We would have appreciated more wood for the fire to start with as that is the main source of heating. We struggled to get the fire going at times which was a bit annoying, however they had provided lots of blankets and with the heaters on we were ok even without the fire going.

  : An outside table to seat 4 would have been good.

  : Lovely well equipped cottage tucked away from the main village, yet has easy routes to village or the hills behind via the many footpaths that run right by the cottage.

  : The property its self was lovely, full of character & located on a hill with beautiful views over the hills of Snowdonia. Every thing we needed, with extra bonus of washing machine & dryer.
  : Whilst the property its self was great, unfortunately it was let down by the town in which its located. Blaenau Ffestiniog is to put it politely, a little run down, a shadow of its former self. Everything just looks tired, with many places, shops, pubs etc having closed down. None of the pubs which were open do meals, so be prepared to eat out elsewhere if that's your thing.

  : Good location. Good facilities in house.
  : ** These are observations to help others. It did not distract us from having a great stay in a century's old house. The top of the staircase was rather quirky and narrow, could be a challenge for less mobile people. The lounge was quite dark and needed lights on in daytime - that was to be expected in an old cottage. It was also quite cold inside, even in summer. Thankfully heaters were on hand. You need to be very competent at reversing and turning a car in the narrow lane/car park area !!

  : Great location, quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of the town. Excellent walks from the front door or after a very short drive. I arrived in very wintry conditions with deep snow, and enjoyed getting the cottage warm and cosy (I came prepared with plenty of firewood - and used a lot because it was a very cold start to the week). Despite the weather outside, the electric heaters did keep the chill off and there was plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well-equipped and I made full use of the washer and dryer after getting wet and mucky out and about nearly every day! Good electric cooker too, and a huge fridge/freezer.
  : The cottage was just about perfect for me!

  : Location was a great base for exploring the area. Finding the property was simple and getting in with the advance instructions was easy. The hosts had been in touch and were available by phone/text if needed. Also received a great welcome pack by ema with information about the local area and restaurant etc recommendations as well as wine and chocolates on arrival, much appreciated. Cottage was beautiful, had everything we needed and beds were really comfortable.
  : Not much we didn't like at all. Could have done with an extra tea towel and a cutlery holder on the draining board. Couldn't get the tumble dryer to work and on the last night, the shower water that had gone on the bathroom floor did leak through the ceiling a little bit but this is all nit-picking. We were so happy with the cottage.

  : The house is really good with a breathtaking view, has everything you need and the fireplace was our favourite part
  : The one problem that we noticed was that all the heating only works if the fireplace is on. The lounge has an electric radiator that didn't work very well for us so the house was really cold, the owner of the property sorted the problem and send us heating fans and everything was brilliant in the end
