  • "We were very happy with the property but perspex windows in conservatory need changing as they are not very clear."

  • "The cottage was pretty central to all the tourist locations."

    The road up to the cottage (approx. 1 mile) was a single track road but not too bad. Mr Mrs Ellis were on hand with any query's we had. A lovely place to stay for touring north Wales.

  • "Had a nice week at this cottage."

    Very comfortable bed and sofa. The weather was not fantastic for August but if you worry about the weather you wouldn't go anywhere. Good central base to reach a lot of the surrounding areas. Nice walking area. Step's down to doggy garden steep and slippy in the rain. Overall lovely place to stay.

  • "A fab little cottage in an excellent location."

    Very cosy. It had all the main things we wanted. The kitchen was great, although small. Lovely that the owner left us milk and fruit, as well as washing up liquid and cloths. If we had stayed longer than a week a washing machine would have been useful, however it probably wouldn't fit in the kitchen. Lovely new shower room. The conservatory was a nice place to eat meals, although the perspex was slightly opaque. I suppose that kept it cooler in hot weather. Our old dog struggled with the steep steps into the garden, but it so so peaceful sitting there, we loved it. Some parts of the garden were looking rather tired and needed some maintenance .The road leading to the property wasn't good, very narrow in places and an uneven surface, but our car was fine as we just took it very slowly. Overall we loved it and would definitely return.

    ..friendly host...lots of places within easy reach. One downside...the conservatory is a wasted room this time of year because the heater is not sufficient enough...so this room was permanently freezing...which was a shame..would have loved to have been able to sit and watch views from in there.

  • "We were disappointed with the accommodation,it had been very neglected and cleaning not at a good standard especially the kitchen which my husband spent a good hour cleaning!"

    We could have complained at the time but didn't want to cause a scene as the owners seemed genuine and really nice people. Moyra did actually give the impression that it was too much and was thinking of cutting back on the rentals. We couldn't understand all the positive feedbacks in the guest book,they were obviously seeing something different to us! We have been self catering for well over 20years in various areas and properties so we do know there are sometimes difficulties. We have decided that in the future we'll be sticking with what we know,there are 2 properties we go to on a regular basis.

About the location

PENTIR

Llanberis 4 miles; Bangor 4 miles.

Pentir is a scattered hamlet with an excellent pub, situated on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park between the famous town of Llanberis and the University City of Bangor. Llanberis has excellent places to eat and drink, fabulous shopping, and is dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif. It is renowned as 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 the Snowdonia Mountain Railway, or on foot along one of the many routes to the summit. Just 7 miles from Llanberis, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and town walls and close by are National Trust properties at Penrhyn and Plas Newydd. With Anglesey and all of the North Wales coastline within easy reach, this is an excellent holiday location.
