"Absolutely idyllic place."
Comfortable cottage, clean and very well equipped with a stunning views from doorstep. Beautiful garden. We had so lovely stay!
Thank you for your kind words! Hopefully see you again. Property Owner

"Beautiful place to walk in Snodownia, close to the main trails and not far from Edwards I's castles."
Lovely cottage, quiet and convenient. The poor Wifi prevent us from working too much, which can be seen as a advandage.
We also like the fact that the poor WiFi allows us to ‘switch off’!!! Thanks for the kind words and hopefully see you again. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in this cosy cottage."
Kitchen was very well equipped. The walls are very thick we didn’t need to use the log burner was really warm. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. The birds and sheep was the only thing you could hear. Lovely walks nearby. A must are the ice creams in beggeret we ate in the Prince Llewelyn a couple of times.
Hi Alison. Thanks for your kind words and glad you had a nice time - we can also recommend the ice cream in Beddgelert!!! Property Owner

"Quiet cottage with fabulous views."
Garden was lovely. Internet and phone signal wasn't great but wasn't a problem. Had a good stay.
Hi Penny. Thanks for the review. The internet can be a bit 'hit and miss' due to the remote location but glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"Everything about the cottage was lovely, thank you."
We have recommended it to friends already! Such an incredible location. (Though the pinpointed location on the map on the Menai Cottages website is slightly wrong.)
Glad you enjoyed it and we’ll get onto Menai and ask them to update the directions! Property Owner

"Fabulous site, very cozy, appreciated the good supply of wood."
We were rather disconcerted that the back door (a designated fire escape) was completely wedged shut, but impossible to bolt (the bolts are present but couldn't be aligned to lock). We were scared to force the door open in case we could then not close it at all! Personal preference, I know, but we would rather have access to a washing machine than a dish washer particularly given the location and welsh weather.
Hi Graham. Glad you enjoyed your stay. The back door can be a bit stiff but we've made sure it's free - just needed a good pull!!!! Due to the lack of space I'm afraid we had to choose between a washing machine and dishwasher and we don't like washing up so that won!!!! ;-) Property Owner

"Everything about this little house was brilliant and the welcome treat was a lovely surprise."
The location was excellent also. Would we go back, yes most definitely however the check in time of 4:30 is far too late. We felt we lost a days holiday. We travelled over 5 hours to get there and wanted to get in asap so that we could enjoy the afternoon/evening. 3pm appears to be the norm for everywhere else. That said we will be back as it was such a brilliant holiday and place to stay. Very well equipped and attention to detail. Thank you little house for a great stay.
Hi Madeline. We're glad you enjoyed the stay and will look at changing the check in time if we can. Thanks TLH Property Owner

"The most wonderful holiday cottage, nestled in the best location in Snowdonia, it sits in a quiet and peaceful valley, with Snowdon quietly watching over."
Inside the cottage, there is everything you could need for a wonderful family holiday and the owners even left us a little treat for our arrival. The beds were so comfortable and the Mountain View from our bed each morning was a highlight! From the cottage, there are walks on the doorstep and the views in every direction are spectacular. it is in a perfectly central location, with the nearest convenience store, a co-op, only 10 minutes away and you can get to all that Snowdonia has to offer within about 30 minutes in any direction. We fell in love with the tranquility of this wonderful cottage and we know we will return again and again. A favourite family holiday location for many years to come. Thank you for having us!
Thank you for the great feedback - it's always nice to hear that people love the place as much as we do! Property Owner

"A lovely little holiday cottage, very comfortable and cosy with everything that you need."
Set in a very peaceful beautiful valley but very close to amenities, Snowdon trails, steam railways, lakes and the wonderful village of Beddgelert. A short drive away from Llanberis and Betws-y-Coed which are definitely recommended. We found the cottage to be exactly as described and loved it.
Thank you for the lovely feedback! Hopefully see you again soon. Property Owner

"Lovely accommodation in a great location."
We were fortunate to have very good weather, but can imagine that the cottage would be very cosy even when the weather might be more challenging.
Thanks for the nice comments! We always provide free wood to make sure it's lovely and cosy when it's chilly! Property Owner

"Enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage."
Superb position. Easy to access walks from doorstep. For longer stays, access to washing machine would be helpful. Local information on walks etc would be great -but maps helpful! Some kitchen basics would also be helpful ie oil, pepper. But excellent stay. Cosy inside and lovely to sit out when sun out and wind has died down.
Glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"Loved this place, I will go there again."
Thanks for the feedback - you're welcome anytime!!! Property Owner

"Wonderful setting and location."
Lovely layout, very well-appointed inside, loved the garden. Great weather meant we could relax outside on the bench after our walks. Wifi only allows very limited usage - eg only one phone connected at a time. Most frustrating issue was that the back door was padlocked and no key, nor mention of a key anywhere. Being able to open it would have been great. This was also on the fire plan as a fire exit which wasn't great.
Hi Sally. Glad you enjoyed the stay. There is a padlock on the door but it doesn’t stop it opening - the door can just be a bit stiff! We’ll remove it to stop any future confusion and wax the door to make it easier to open! Thanks again. Property Owner

"Amazing location in the Nantlle Ridge."
Breathtaking as soon as you step out of the door! The Little House had everything we needed and more plus the beds are super comfy. We’ve been to a lot of places and my family all agreed this was the best holiday ever!
Thanks much for the lovely feedback - glad you had a wonderful time! Property Owner

"We loved the cottage."
The only problem we had was the Internet was very poor and the router actually stopped working during our stay. We think this was due an electrical storm so couldn't be helped. However even when working it was very unreliable. We actually didn't mind though and it was refreshing change, helping to break our phone addiction! The cottage is absolutely delightful, and we kind of fell in love with it! It was very clean, so cosy and really well equipped :). The valley is rugged and striking, it felt very remote and we enjoyed hearing the wind blowing down the chimney. The wood burner on Christmas morning was an added bonus. We weren't sure whether logs were supplied and when we phoned Sykes they said that they thought we may have to bring our own because its not mentioned. However there was a really good supply of well seasoned logs in the house and more outside. All in all a fantastic little place for a base from which to explore especially if you like the idea of isolation!
Glad you had a great Christmas here! We’ve now got multiple replacement routers in case this happens again!!! Hopefully see you soon! Property Owner

"This was a cosy cottage to use as a base to explore the beautiful countryside (the mountainous landscape is stunning)."
No complaints about the lovely cottage except that the listing specifically says that the water is safe to drink. We think that it could more accurately state that the water from one little tap is safe to drink. It was difficult to clean the fire out after lighting it the previous night as there must be a knack to opening the tray. The bed was extremely comfortable and the garden was a plus. We would stay there again.
Hi Christine. Thanks for the feedback. All the water ‘just’ passes the council’s requirements but as the mineral levels fluctuate we decided it’s safer to put a drinking water system in which removes all impurities. We’ve also updated the manual to include cleaning instructions. Thanks again for your feedback Property Owner

"Tan Meredydd is the prefect little house, set in a beautiful location in the heart of the mountains."
It was really clean and had great facilities, everything had been thought about. It was wonderful to sit and just listen to peace and quiet. We loved that you were able to walk from the door to the mountains, if not on the road a little. We will defo be back.
-
"A perfect little house that exceeded our expectations, everything you could possibly need, great library of books, films, games."
Will definitely be going back. Thank you from my Son (11) and I
Glad you enjoyed your time there! Property Owner

"Amazing cottage in an amazing location."
Away from outside light so we could enjoy a fantastic view of the sky.
-
"I had a great stay at the cottage."
It has the most wonderful view and location. The kitchen and cottage was stocked with all the things we needed. I would recommend it to others and would like to go back there!
-
"Fantastic cosy little cottage in an ideal location with amazing views from each window."
The cottage was equipped with everything that we needed, even a bottle of Prosecco for when we arrived. Great stay and highly recommended
-
"A superb, cosy property in a fabulous location."
Extremely clean and well presented with everything that we needed. The views, swings in the garden for the kids and wood burning stove made it a bit special.
-
"A small cosy cottage in the heart of Snowdonia."
Plenty of walking from the door and easy access to other mountains.
-

The owner went out of his way to provide little extras ,which made the place very homely. In a very quiet location .

"A lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful location."

"A lovely cottage in a great location."
Really well presented with attention to detail. Clean and tidy. The garden and surroundings were also lovely and perfect for our family holiday. It had everything we needed. Thank you.

"Location absolutely stunning."
Set in a valley with walking in abundance. Cottage charming with lovely facilities. Garden a delight.
-
"What a fantastic and well equipped cottage."
My son loved the fact that you can see Mount Snowdon from the garden and looked spectacular with it’s snowy top. This cottage is perfectly located for site seeing, as everything is about a 30 minute drive away. I would definitely recommend Tan Meredydd, and would book again.
-
"Everything was cosy and perfect, nice little holidays house, nice and warm, very good location, calm and relaxing in between two mountains."
Amazing. Definitely recommend to everyone.
-
"Everything was perfect."
The secluded location, the cosy welcoming feeling as soon as you walked through the door. It was a nice little suprise to find we had been left a lovely bottle of wine which is just what you needed after a long journey, sat in front of the fire with the amazing view of the mountains through the window.
-
"Could not fault in anyway."
.. absolutely perfect cottage! So cosy and so beautiful ! 100% recommend
-
"The location is quite remote, however if you are looking for a peaceful holiday then this is the place to be."
Great base for serious walkers.
-
"The cottage was very nice, clean and comfortable but the stairs up to the twin bedroom were very narrow and steep, so my son who has slight mobility problems was unable to go up them."
Fortunately, as the bathroom was downstairs, he didn't have to go up them. My husband and I used the twin room and our son had the double bed downstairs. I think you should mention in the information about the cottage that the stairs aren't suitable for people with mobility problems. The location was really good, scenic and quiet.
-
"I booked last minute on the day and Ashleigh in the call centre was great."
The location was perfect and there was nothing needed as everything was stocked and available. Restful and very quiet. If after a remote location to get away from it all but close enough to get into the hills then this is ideal
-
"We had a wonderful week in Snowdonia."
The cottage is extremely well equipped and furnished, and its location is perfect for trips out around Snowdonia and beyond. It is very peaceful and frequented by numerous bird species (if you fill the feeder :) There is a pub called the Cwellyn Arms not far away at Rhyd Ddu, which serves excellent food and beers. We thoroughly recommend this cottage.
-
"Very cosy, everything there that you need and plenty of wood for the fire."
Very clean and a very helpful caretaker.
-
"Lovely little cottage, kitchen well stocked, plenty of games and dvds, lovely gardens"
-
"Lovely cottage clean and well decorated throughout!"
Lots of children’s games which my 7 and 9 year old enjoyed on a wet day. Well placed to explore North Wales. My children enjoyed climbing the mountain “in the back garden”! Stone flooring downstairs so would recommend taking slippers or indoor shoes.
-
"A fantastic little cottage in the most idyllic of locations."
Newly refurbed and well thought out layout to make the most of all available space it's a Tardis! Even had a tiny bit of Wi-Fi. A perfect location for getting away from it all and exploring Snowdonia. Highly recommended.
