• "This has the potential to be a fantastic cottage, it is well situated for exploring the area with good views."

  The cottage is well equipped, although let down by many chipped mugs and the towels had bad bleach stains on them. Main issue was cleanliness of kitchen - had to clean worktops, hob and freezer before using and also clean washing machine. The rest of the cottage was clean, good wood burner and tv. Utility room needs attention, sink dirty and lots of clutter. The other issue is that the decor is very tired, nothing a change of wall paper in the bedrooms and a lick of paint everywhere would n't fix. Carpets are good quality but in need of a shampoo. Bit of TLC and it could easily be 10 out of 10.

  The mugs need to be thrown away if chipped There are 20 mugs and 90% arn’t chipped Carpet was shampooed last week. Sorry about the worktops will talk to the cleaner about this As for the towels They must have been bleached in the cottage as I never use such products when doing the laundry. It’s been a very busy season and I agree that there are parts of the cottage that can do with some freshening up. Property Owner

• "The property is very tired, paint peeling off the walls in the sitting room and lounge."

  Carpets filthy and old, sofa has lost its spring. You sit on it and basically sit on the floor. Fridge smelt and was dirty . Oven was dirty. Kitchen bin disgusting Had to buy cleaning products to allow us to use oven. Bedrooms had cobwebs and spiders. Thick black cobwebs hanging from bottom radiator. Only room ok was the bathroom, although when we arrived the floor was soaking wet as the skylight had been left open and it had been raining all day! Overall very disappointed with our stay. Location was ideal for using as a base to dorms most of time out.

• "A very comfortable cottage in a lovely village location at the edge of a great mountainous country."

  The weather can be a bit damp but the views are wonderful. Good access to Zip World and snowdonia region.

• "We had an excellent stay."

  The owner is very responsive to queries and quick to come out - we had a stuck bedroom door, he was there within minutes to sort it out. A great base to explore Yr Wyddfa from.

• "A wonderful place to sit, look through the window at the stunning views and reflect."

  I would like to thank the owner for his hospitality and courtesy during our stay at his lovely cottage. Plus, the Mountain Water Chinese Takeaway’s food is excellent - well worth a visit. Jan

• "The cottage is spacious with stunning views of the mountains and a lovely alcove to sit in to enjoy the views as well as very thick seat windowsills in the bedrooms."

  There is every thing you need in terms of cooking utensils, comfy and various seating, outside spaces, and the property is in easy reach of Bangor, Llanberis and Anglesey, so perfect for sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in north Wales. Our group was aged from 6 to 57 and everyone had a good time.

• "Cottage was not proper clean and there is only one bathroom for 6 people ..."

  Cottage was not proper clean and there is only one bathroom for 6 people that’s not enough for 6 and also door of bathroom also you can’t close properly and in bathroom no fan for ventilation

  The bathroom door does close properly and I have never heard anyone complaining of the cleanliness of the cottage before. My cleaner does a grand job . The cottage is a three bedroom one bathroom property which is perfectly clear in the description. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely family holiday at Haulfryn, the scenery was outstanding, there wasn't a better and more convenient place to stay for walks and climbing."

  It was right in the centre of the best parts of Snowdonia. The owner was very kind giving us cakes and treats on arrival and the house was lovely and clean with everything to hand. The only drawback is that because of a van parked always at the entrance to the property it was a tight right-angled turn on a very very steep hill into the driveway, sometimes I could only just squeeze round it. The house also, is at the top of a long and very very steep hill, with only room for one lane of cars, and with having to stop often multiple times on the way up and reverse park to let others up or down, so be aware if you are a new or nervous driver. The locals seem to do it all fine, but if you are not used to it, be aware. Not at all the homeowners fault, but it did affect our holiday. One other thing - it only has one toilet in the one bathroom, so if there are 5 or 6 of you staying, it did get difficult. (Especially if you aren't the same family and want to be polite!) This was the main thing that affected us. There was nowhere to go if someone was having a bath etc, and with 5 or 6 people it made it difficult. Other than that, it was a lovely relaxing house and a gorgeous area to stay. All other comforts were made for us and we loved it.

  Close to lots of great walks and places to visit in North Wales. Some modern features some old which we found great. Beds are really comfy and plenty of room in the cottage for 6 people. Well worth seeking out

• "Haulfryn was a delightful cottage with great views of the slate mountain; the pictures do not really do it justice."

  It was extremely clean; spacious and comfortable including the bed! We would recommend it and would book it again if we go to North Wales.

• "A lovely cosy but spacious cottage obviously a lot of thought and love had been put into converting this house."

  The parking was really good and welcome as it was up a steep hill! The welcome of a fire ready to light and a bottle of red was just what was needed after our foggy journey to Snowdonia.

• "Fantastic location with beautiful views and a short walk in to town where there is a tesco express, various takeaways, a few pubs and range of shops."

  The house has a nice outdoor area, ideal for a BBQ and benefits from off street parking, which is good as the roads are quite narrow and on a steep hill so its good the cars are protected off the road. This is a really comfortable property with plenty of space and it is well furnished for a ‘home-from-home’ feeling. It would be great if a second bathroom was available but the single bathroom within the property has a good size bathtub and a power shower. Also a bonus that is is within walking distance of Zipworld and snowdonia hiking trails.

• "We had a lovely family holiday in North Wales."

  Haulfryn was perfectly located for our zipline experience and central to lots of lovely places to visit. Please note- the house is located at the top of a very steep hill but this means that the views are spectacular. Also, the Douglas arms is mentioned on the website however we would not recommend at all. It’s a very small uncomfortable room with no music, atmosphere or heating! The lady behind the bar was nice though. Better to walk slightly further to the other pubs down the road. This would be a lovely property to enjoy anytime of the year with a log burner in the living room and also lovely gardens and views.

• "The cottage was lovely, in a good location and the views (when it stopped raining) were stunning."

  However, I would comment that although the cottage sleeps 6 people the "adult bunks" were not really suitable for my 6'3" son and his girlfriend (aged 23 and 24); they did not find them too comfortable and would probably be more suitable for teenagers than adults. Also the bathroom, although very nicely done, was extremely small. Otherwise the facilities were good and we enjoyed our stay.

• "This cottage was beautiful!"

  The pictures don't do it justice. And the views are breath taking! There was 6 of us staying and the cottage felt big enough that we didn't 'step on each others toes' The mattress was so comfortable also - better than my own at home! We loved reading the details/history of the cottage from the owner. There was tons of information on how to work everything so we didn't feel the need to contact the owner for any help! Milk, butter, tea and coffee were available on arrival - after a 4hr drive this was a god send! Only thing to note is the entrance to the drive way - 6 adults and a roof box in a Mazda made our car very heavy and we scraped the bottom of the car entering the driveway!! We found it best for everyone (bar driver) to exit the car before entering so the horrible scraping sound didn't occur!

  Allow multiple criteria to be input and allow the criteria to be retained. Seem to 'lose' the criteria and have to restart the searches currently. Which can be frustrating.
