"The listing was very accurate."
It's a small property but perfectly adequate for a couple of nights. The real downside is that the village has absolutely no facilities, so transport is essential.
-
"Very comfortable unit with an exceptional host who was very friendly and helpful."
Loved the one level nature of the unit - highly recommended
-
"Lovely, comfortable lodgings."
Ian is very warm and welcoming, and had baked us a lovely bara brith. Well situated for exploring North Wales.
-
"Perfect small hideaway."
Comfy bed and good facilities in the kitchenette. Can park your car right outside the front door. Ian's Bara Brith is appreciated by all guests. Ian also purchased some grab rails to aid my wife in the wet room area. We used Tryfan as a base to retrace 'The Hairy Bikers' last road trip in this part of the world - visited Maggie Ogunbanwo in Penygroes to collect some spices and took the train from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog to buy some spicy Kurdish Pasties from Kumang Rashid. Caernarfon, Zip World and a host of tourist attractions are within easy driving distance of this property. A visit to Criccieth is recommended.

"We had a very pleasant stay."
The cottage was located very centrally for all attractions in the area. We got on extremely well with Ian. The cottage was comfortable and we really appreciated the bara brith. Our only concern....there was no balsamic vinegar. (If you know, you know)
Thank you , glad you enjoyed your stay it was a pleasure meeting you both , hope you can replicate the bara brith , and sorry about the balsamic vinegar , that just seems to be a Bain in my life lol . Property Owner

"Nice clean quite cottage, perfectly positioned for all attractions."
But was disappointed, after a long drive, not to find a pint of milk, or a few tea bags.
Thank you for picking us to stay with and sorry about the milk and tea bags we used to supply in the beginning but with the different types of milk these days we couldn't please everyone and it usually whent to waste ! hence the home made bara brith , that never seems to go to waste Property Owner

"This was our second visit we go again thank you ian"

"Enjoyable stay in nice accommodation with a very friendly owner."
Great location for exploring Anglesey and Snowdonia.
-
"Enjoyed our stay here and the accommodation was exactly as what was listed."
Our only criticisms are that there was no where to hang coats up or any airer to put wet clothes on. We would definitely stay here again though.
Thank you very much I'll take that on board I have a drying room in mind for the new year , thanks for staying with us regards Ian Property Owner

Great flat but not suitable for older people as only had a breakfast bar with stools for eating Bara brith supplied by owner was lovely
-
"Tasty huge Barabrith cake on arrival and free range eggs kept us going all week."
Very friendly owner. The lon las Ogwen cycle/ walking trail on the doorstep gives easy access to the coast at Bangor and up to Bethesda and the Snowdonia mountains inland. Deeper soup/ cereal bowls would be appreciated.
-
"Nice holiday after the lock down."
Cottage was ok for a week owners were very nice and even the weather was better than expected.
-
"The holiday was fantastic, great location, lovely host."
Only problem with the entire holiday was how many emails I received from Sykes, it was rediculous, sometimes multiple daily, so much spam. No problem with the cottage did not enjoy the Sykes junk mail bombardment though.
-
"Lovely and welcoming hosts."
Very informative and helpful!
-
"Ian and Mandy where excellent hosts who were waiting for us in arrival."
We had a quick tour of the lodge and a fresh cake was made for us, we were also told that there door is just round the corner If we need them and they were only a text message away. Lovely lodge, Great Hosts
-
"All Zip World Adventure."
Lovely place and Friendly people
-
"Warm friendly greeting on arrival from the owner; on hand if we needed anything."
Lovely quiet location; good base for Snowdonia walks (e.g.Llyn Ogwen, Snowdon Ranger, Capel Curig all within 1/2 hr drive). Note for renters: no mobile phone reception inside the cottage (on Virgin network at least); however, wifi excellent so able to make calls via WhatsApp etc.
-
"Central to local Zip worlds."
Local village where they had a Tesco express/Take away food shops & Bangor was not far to travel there was an Asda
-
"Its va great location , very convenient."
Interesting layout but worked ok. Bit scruffy in the yard outside.
-
"Friendly helpful welcome."
Lovely homemade cake on arrival.
-
"We were happy with the cottage."
We had a friendly welcome from Ian the owner, who showed us around, and told us to call him if there was anything we needed. The cottage was comfy for two. It was in easy reach of all the areas in Snowdonia. We found it a good base for a weeks holiday walking in Snowdonia. Hopefully we will return one day.
-
"Clean, comfy, easy, good communications and met on arrival."
I just needed a couple of days peaceful relaxation and I got exactly that. All good.
-
"Stayed here with my Boyfriend as it was a surprise for his birthday and what a beautiful location amazing views and great country walks."
also Ian was very welcoming when we arrived and welcomed us with a Welsh malt bread which was home made and gorgeous Only complaint or criticism was the extracts fans were full of dust and dirt and could do with cleaning other than that I would definitely stay again
-
"Just returned from this great holiday let."
Ian & Mandy are the perfect hosts with the most beautiful homemade barbarith waiting for us. Even the hens came to greet us and laid some eggs for us too. The accomodation is warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Parking is great ( important to me with limited mobility). The location is great, with good roads for exploring or revisiting Anglesey and North Wales. Autumn in Wales was perfect for us. Can highly recommend this holiday let. We are returning September 2019 and hoping to fit in a visit early 2019. Just love this place!!!

"Cottage was in a perfect location."
Wonderful hospitality from hosts!
-
"We had a fabulous holiday the cottage was of a high standard and the owner was very helpful."
It is a great location for touring North Wales and we particularly enjoyed our visit to Snowdon and South Stack. The owner had baked us a Barabrith which was scrumptious we could not of asked for anything more from our holiday. Parking in North Wales when we were out and about was exceptionally cheap. An all round fab holiday.
-
"A good base to discover North Wales"
-
"A good centre for visiting Anglesey and the N."
Wales coast and in a quiet setting.
-
"This really is a lovely place to stay!"
The landlord baked me a lovely loaf of barra brith so with after I acquired a supply of Welsh cheese I was a happy bunny. The kitchen is well equipped. The bed was SO comfortable and I slept like a log. WiFi was intermittent but as a country dweller myself I'm used to that. I am disabled (I use a mobility scooter and walking sticks) and found access very easy. The wet room is very good but it doesn't have a shower seat which is OK for me but a wheelchair user might find that difficult. Apart from that this is a great place for people with limited mobility. Well recommended.

"All perfect, Mr Jones very pleasant and the cotagge has the basics."
It just need to have wifi
-
"Everything was as described and the owner made us a Bara Brith cake giving us a warm welcome."
A great base for visiting Snowdonia, Anglesey & North Wales. Only one drawback was the lack of a window in the kitchen.
-
"Comfortable and relaxing accommodation, warm welcome and location is very good for touring the area."
-
"A clothes horse or some where to hang towels after a shower, or for coats after coming in out of the rain would have been good."
-
"Holiday was fantastic, owner was very welcoming, and friendly, will consider of returning sometime in the future."
-
"Excellent holiday"
-
"Very friendly and helpful owner."
Ideal location for exploring snowdonia, coastal towns and Anglesey. In a Very peaceful in little village with nice views. Would stay again.
-
"The barn conversion was very warm and comfortable - just perfect for the two of us."
We were greeted by a very friendly and informative owner who was also a very good cook. All the major attractions are within driving distance. We had a wonderful break and would definitely recommend the barn as a perfect place to base yourself.

About the location
BANGOR
Menai Bridge 2.5 miles; Beaumaris 7 miles; Caernarfon 10 miles; Llanberis 11 miles.
Bangor is a university town on the North Wales coast with a large range of shops, bars and restaurants. It is the main crossing point for the Isle of Anglesey with two road bridges across the Menai Strait. Across the water, the castle and pier at Beaumaris make a lovely day out, or you can catch a boat to enjoy a trip out to Puffin Island. The Anglesey Coastal Path takes in beautiful scenery, and the island is home to many fine beaches including Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and Red Wharf Bay. The NT mansion Plas Newydd is on the island, while on the mainland further NT properties can be found including Penrhyn Castle and Bodnant Gardens. The spectacular mountains and lakes of Snowdonia are just a short drive way, with plenty of castles, beaches and other attractions on offer in this wonderful region. Bangor and the Menai Straits really do offer the best of both worlds!
