  • "We had a fantastic week at Bluebell cottage."

    As others have said the kitchen is a bit of a squeeze but we were aware of this before we arrived and took our air fryer with us. The shower is quite small but the water pressure and temp were perfect so it didn't matter. The location is amazing and the visiting wildlife was a joy. The peace and quiet along with an extremely comfortable bed meant we got a good night sleep every night. Tv signal and wi-fi is spot on. .we would be more than happy to return and recommend to others

  • "The blueBells Cottage Oct 2022 A one bedroom chalet/lodge, in pleasant woodland surroundings, overlooking the Conwy valley."

    A step up from the caravan, in most areas, except the kitchen, which although adequate, was small. Worktop space lacking. All the facilities that you could want are there, except for a washing machine. The view from the main window was very good. The cottage is up a long narrow rough drive. A word of warning to anyone trying to find the cottage. The post code on a sat nav or phone will only get you near the main area on the main road. If coming from the North, then you have to go past the drive entrance, do a U-turn, then cut across the road to the start of the drive. then up the single track. It is signposted and has reflextive triangles at the entrance. The cottage is realtively small, but has all that you need. The kitchen is the smallest room, though useable. A decent shower in the bathroom, though more shelves would help. A reasonable amount of storage. Heating in the living room is provided by an electric fire. A bit noisy, but it quickly heats up the room. The bedroom does not have a heater, but there is an electric blanket. Still, adequate on a cold October night. A deck and lounger are provided outside. A lot of handy little stickers are provided by the owners, giving guidance to to such things as switch locations. The cottage was a good base for visiting the North of Wales area. Trains and buses possbile, but the times are infrequent, so driving is a more likely option. Note: the footbridge at Dolgarrog is closed, preventing a walking option to the other side of the valley. The cottage felt clean and I had a pleasant stay.

  • "The chalet is in a beautiful spot, lovely views."

    It had everything we needed plus extras and spotlessly clean. A great pity the bathroom and kitchen weren’t just a bit bigger. It would have made all the difference and made it a perfect place to stay. There was some wasted space by an attempt to make a second bedroom which was a complete failure as there was no room with the bed even to stand up in there. It would have made an ideal en suite bathroom and then the existing bathroom could be put into the kitchen which adjoined it.
