Guest Feedback:
FC (Christmas 2024): 3 STARS "Wonderful location, local people were friendly and the house was very clean upon arrival. No kindling was provided for the lounge's open fire (a feature that attracted me to stay there) and only 3 logs were provided. Being a Christmas eve check in, venturing out for kindling was not on the agenda. No dish washer tabs provided. The house was warm once all three electric fires were on. The open fire - once it was going - heated and dried out the whole house. Being next to the river provided a relaxing ambience in the evening and a great spot for wild swimming. All in all a good stay in a beautiful part of the world."
FC (Oct 2024): 5 STARS " Had a great stay at this lovely cottage with my wife and 2 year old. It is located a 2 minute walk from the centre of Beddgelert which has a good selection of eating options. The cottage itself is cosy, has an open plan kitchen and living room with plenty of space for our toddler to roam. The dining room overlooks the river, which is beautiful. There is no central heating but the electric heaters in each room did a good job and you could light a fire. The kitchen was well equipped too. Plenty in the area, from the door there is a lovely walk along the river. 5 minute drive to an old copper mine (and playground in the same place). And a little longer to the start of the Watkins path up Snowdon. Would recommend!"
IH (September 2024): 5 STARS "Weekend Away. We always stay in the Village as the location is perfect. We always have the same house that backs onto the river. We were sad it was not available this trip. First time staying in this cottage and we were over the moon how beautiful and comfortable it was. We will defo be booking this cottage again"

PS (May 2024): 4.7 STARS "Beautiful village and location. Lots of lovely walks. Comfortable cottage for two. Only downside is the patio area is overlooked by the cottage next door, hence no privacy. Therefore, we would not return to this cottage"

The location is fabulous!" Thanks for the Review. We will make enquiries about the file - it must have gone missing.
