"Amazing property in an amazing location!"
A great base for exploring North Wales. The cottage is immaculate - modern and well equipped with everything you could need for your time away. Highly recommended to anyone - we will certainly be back when we can!
-
"It was a lovely property to stay in and the area."
We really enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
-
"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it's in a great location that allowed us to easily visit the areas of North Wales that we wanted to."
The cottage has been designed and furnished to a really high standard. (We also managed to get the TV signal working after fiddling with the aerial cable in the back of the TV and retuning again just incase it happens to anyone else)
-
"Third year visiting this lovely cottage."
It is as perfect as the first time we visited in 2022. Immaculately presented - modern kitchen, Esse woodburner and plenty of logs supplied, luxurious bathroom with a large powerful shower and deep bath. Position within easy reach of the mountains and coast, and should it rain a cosy bolt hole in front of the wood burner. Thankyou once again Fiona.

"Lovely accommodation and location, nicely presented and the complementary basket of wood for the burner was a nice touch."
A great base to explore Snowden and Anglesey. Would recommend this cottage.
-
"Very comfortable stay."
Beautifully equipped kitchen and bathroom. No negatives. Best holiday cottage I've stayed in to date. Also location is perfect.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Rhydau Cottage."
Lots to do and see in Snowdonia and Anglesey especially when you enjoy nature and hiking. Lovely villages and castles to visit too. On the whole the facilities were great, but there are one or two things that could be improved upon. Adding scissors, kindling and matches for the woodburner and the hoover is very heavy and cumbersome. But these are small details. We very much enjoyed our stay.

"The cottage was immaculately presented, perfect location and easy to find."
It didn't take long for us to settle in at all and was perfect for our stay. It was perfectly positioned for exploring north Wales and Anglesey for us. We would definitely like to stay here again!

"First class property I would highly recommend, everything is there that you need and is fitted out to the highest standard, Fantastic kitchen and the bathroom is really luxurious we loved it."
Excellent location just off the main road and loads of places to visit nearby with just a short drive. The owners are very friendly and helpful and have done a great job with the property. We will definitely be returning.
-
"The cottage is one of the best I've stayed in."
Spacious and well thought out and well equipped. It's an ideal base for exploring snowdonia only a 10 - 15 minute drive to Snowdon and Anglesey. I'm definitely looking to go back later in the year

"Whilst the barn conversion was very creatively thought out and completed to the highest standards we were unable to feel comfortable staying in the property."
The outside seating area is poorly thought out, not welcoming or comfortable, no shade provided and exposed to constant traffic noise. The dining area was disappointing as the chairs were too low for the table… Upon arrival and contacting the owner as requested we did not experience any welcome then or throughout our stay. There was nothing to welcome us in the property either. Ie information about the local area…shops, eateries, emergency services etc. The property was not well cleaned. Crumbs under settee cushions, food on dining chairs, un-ironed bed linen, holders on sink un-cleaned and the shower required attention. There were lots of cobwebs and dust… The location for our holiday was however spot on, giving easy access to the national park, Anglesey, and the Llyn Peninsula.

"Rhydau Cottage is a very recently converted cottage with some imaginative and interesting features and which served our needs very well."
It is in a location which offers very easy reach to many tourist sites in Snowdonia and my wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
-
"A lovely, warm and comfortable stay."
Facilities are very modern.The whole cottage is maintained to a very high standard. The location was great for exploring North Wales and Anglesey. Would highly recommend this cottage to others.
-
"The cottage/barn is stunning!"
!! The beds are sooooo comfy and the giant free standing bath is great to come back to after long walks. The starter logs are a great gesture and the barn gets really cosy. My son loved the daily visit from the
-
"Beautiful cottage, amazing job on the refurbishment."
Only small comment is too have a bit more crockery and place mats. The table is amazing but needed a few more place mats as we had a couple of guests over for dinner. Otherwise fantastic place to stay.
-
"A gorgeous converted farmhouse with fab facilities, perfect for four adults and in a beautiful location."
-
"Wonderful property!"
Great hosts.
-
"We had a lovely holiday here in September."
The owner was very welcoming and on hand if we had any issues. The property was beautifully laid out and a pleasure to stay in, with great views. Very comfortable and clean. All the joys of Snowdonia were on our doorstep. The two very friendly little cats made it feel like a home from home.
-
"A wonderful cottage - we loved staying here and are looking forward to coming again in the future!"
-
"We had a lovely stay at Rhydau Cottage, it was like a home away from home!"
The location was perfect, situated around 10 minutes from Snowdon. Looking out of the windows and seeing mountains was a lovely way to wake up. Would highly recommend staying here.
-
"Lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and well equipped."
Peaceful and pleasant surroundings. Only a short drive to a selection of supermarkets and with easy reach of many of North Wales attractions. Owner on hand for any problems. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage.
-
"Such a lovely house, feels so cosy and homely."
The pictures on the advert don't do it justice. The owners were very helpful and welcoming when we arrived.
-
"The cottage was excellent."
It was well looked after and cosy to settle down in. There were just two things that were difficult. 1. Lack of accurate directions to get to the cottage. If we had been told about the “Paintball Wales.com” signs that pointed directly to the cottage it would have been easier. 2. Little / no information about “good” eating places locally. We did find one, but the was no guidance. Other than these two grumbles it was a great holiday.
-
"The interior of the cottage was just as the photos shows, it was clean and warm and the wood burner was a nice addition."
. I agree with previous reviewers; the outdoor seating area could be a bit more pleasant, perhaps with some sort of covering and screening and the kitchen could do with more crockery - only had 4 mugs. The overly large and high dining table and low dining chairs made mealtimes slightly uncomfortable. The shower room has no slip resistant mat and there are no blinds at the windows. Please be aware the property stated no pets, this is one of our booking requirements as my husband has a bad alleges to dogs and cats. The owners have two cats that were always trying to enter the property when the door was opened.
-
"The property was amazing."
Very quiet location, rooms were bigger than the pictures portray which is unusual as normally people try to make pictures look bigger. The host was quick to respond to messages and were great.
-
"Beautiful cottage and perfectly positioned for Snowdon hikes & exploring North Wales."
It totally exceeded our expectations and truly felt like a home from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.
-
"A really lovely cottage - very comfortable and cosy for our visit when the weather was cold, wet and windy."
Would have loved to have lit the log burner but the cottage was so cosy we didn't need it. The cottage was as described in the listing with everything that you could need for a home from home break. Loved the movement sensitive lights on the ground floor.
-
"The cottage was excellent."
It was warm and inviting on arrival and the owner friendly and helpful. The conversion has been done and maintained to a very high standard. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped- large fridge and plenty of kitchen utensils.The bathroom is beautiful and the shower exactly what you need - large, powerful and hot! The cottage is an ideal position to easily reach the mountains, coast and Anglesey and although is close to a main road you can't hear the traffic. We are already booking a return visit. Thank you so much Fiona

"Beautifully thought out cottage and attention to detail was quality."
We had a wonderful stay,highly recommended.
-
"There’s so much to love about this cottage."
We had high expectations from the photos and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a fabulous bathroom, perfect for a long soak after a day in the hills. Modern kitchen, epic dining table and cosy fireside seating. Easy access from the main road with plenty of parking. There’s a great little shop at the petrol station just a few minutes away which has an amazing selection of plant based products. This is a fabulous little cottage and highly recommended.
-
"The booking was waste, directions to the cottage great,We were met by the owner very nice lady."
The cottage was great, very comfortable,kitchen had plenty of room, beds soft and warm. A fantastic holiday.
-
"Absolutely gorgeous cottage in a fantastic location for all that Snowdonia has to offer."
The interior of the cottage was of a very high standard and would definitely recommend it. If I could improve anything it would be to make the outdoor seating area a bit more pleasant, perhaps with some sort of covering. And provide a non-slip mat for the shower. And a hairdryer would have been useful. But really those things didn't spoil our holiday at all - the cottage itself is beautiful.
-
"Great location for exploring the area around Snowdonia ."
-
"Great location."
Lovely house. Great holiday
-
"Lovely cottage, great location, lovely family owners Amazing luxury accommodation."
I would definitely recommend Rhydau Cottage.
-
"This is a wonderful barn conversion that has had a lot of thought and hard work put in to create a great layout with loads of character."
My partner loved the stand alone bath and we both loved the comfort of the lounge and the awesome log burner which made for lovely relaxed evenings. Fiona was very helpful making sure we had everything we needed & it will be a pleasure to book again in the future. A selection of the lighting being activated by movement is a nice touch too.
-
"Absolutely gorgeously converted barn."
Really easy to find and super close to snowdon. We were greeted by the owner and shown around, then told to contact if any issues - this was really handy and reassuring. Comfy beds, beautiful kitchen loads of facilities. Be back again soon.
-
"We were met with the key by the owner who showed us into the property and explained everything we needed to know."
The property was spacious and clean. We felt that more crockery would be needed if there were 4 people were staying. otherwise it was excellent.
-
"Rhydau cottage was a loverly place to stay very comfortable and well equipped and finished to a very high standard."
It’was perfectly situated for all the places we had planned to visit,the owners were both very nice and friendly we will definitely be returning in the future to visit the places we had planned but didn’t get to .

"The cottage was lovely and quiet but located just off a main road - we were ..."
The cottage was lovely and quiet but located just off a main road - we were greeted by the owner and shown round - they have done a fantastic job of converting it into a modern comfortable environment - loved it - its ideally placed for snowdonia and the west coast - the garage about a mile up the road also sells most things you can need
-
"Thoughtful and stylish conversion into a cottage with lots of comforts - fluffy towels, logs, quality beds and bedding."
Bathroom is awesome. Well equipped kitchen with a posh Smeg fridge. Outside, plenty of parking, bbq and comfy outdoor furniture. Perfect for star gazing and staring at mountains (as long as the Welsh weather lets you). The locations is great for beaches (try Dinas Dinlle) and for walking in Snowdonia. Loads of family attractions nearby - we highly recommend the slate mine and Great Orme copper mine. Plenty of castles and gardens too.
-
"It is a lovely modern, barn conversion with very good quality fittings."
The land lady, Fiona was very helpful and always available, happy to answer our questions, and when we discovered there was no DVD player, her husband went out and bought a new one. Also when we had internet problems they were resolved within the day.
-
"Just home from three nights in the cottage."
Wow - what a fantastic place to stay. Absolutely immaculate and equipped with high quality furnishings too. The log burner was an added bonus and when we couldn’t light it on the first night the owner cane round to help us. We would definitely recommend and we hope to come back again one day. Great location for exploring beautiful North Wales.

About the location
DEINIOLEN
Llanberis 4 miles; Caernarfon 8 miles; Bangor 8 miles.
The village of Deiniolen, housing a village pub and shop, is 4 miles north of Llanberis, on the border of the Snowdonia National Park, making it an ideal base to explore the National Park. The Llanberis Railway runs nearby along the banks of Lake Padarn, whilst the ruins of Dolbadarn Castle are 2 miles away, or visit Ceunant Mawr, a cascading waterfall just outside Llanberis. Local walks lead to the Marchlyn Mawr Reservoir on the northern slopes of Elidir Fawr. Llanberis is 4 miles away and is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris and is one of the most popular mountain tourist centres in the Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Llanberis is something of a “mecca” for walkers and climbers, being the starting point for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by train, on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Each year, major racing events attract thousands to the area: The fast Snowdon Race to the summit, held in July every year and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. Within Llanberis itself there are excellent places to eat and drink and a great choice of shopping. On the coast is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd.
