"This was a family holiday of 6 adults so accommodation picked accordingly."
I must say that this was the best accommodation by a mile we have stayed in over the years of using sykes cottage’s. The house was presented on arrival beautifully making it instantly feel special. The rooms were all lovely sizes and the kitchen was outstanding. It was equipped with everything you would need so much so we cooked a roast for 6 on day 2 with no problems. The outdoor shower for the dog was brilliant but now he feels spoiled so will be a struggle back home
Thank you! We’re so pleased that you had a great stay and the cottage had everything you needed.
We’re big fans of spoiling dogs, and very glad he enjoyed his stay, too!

The cottage had everything we needed, well equipped and comfortable. We chose the property on the proximity to many great tourist attractions, which led to a fantastic week in Wales. Would highly recommend.

"As four elderly people we would have appreciated grab rails in both showers as tiled floor gets very slippery."
Also it will be safer with anti slip mats.
If the suggested facilities were provided we would have given top marks.
All four enjoyed the holiday in Coopers Rest

We have now stayed twice and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if we are in Snowdonia. Great garden too especially if you have a dog. Excellent communication from the lady who looks after the cottage, we had a great stay and would highly recommend Coopers Rest.
Thanks for the fantastic review, please come and stay again soon. We are so glad you enjoyed staying at Coopers rest

"This is a beautiful cottage, much bigger than expected from the photo's."
The living room is a lovely space for relaxing and the kitchen is super large. It is an ideal cottage for a family or group holiday. The two bathrooms were beautifully decorated as were the bedrooms. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who would like to holiday in North Wales as the location is very central for all activities. There is also a beautiful garden to dine, relax or play in at the end of your day. Excellent all round.
Thankyou for your comments I am really glad you had a lovely time.

"Coopers Rest is a lovely cottage, well appointed and caters for 6 comfortably."
Excellent location for touring northern wales and local walks, the castle to roman bridge loop and a nice valley loop from the front door are excellent (but be quick as the de-foresting boys are laying new roads).
The village shop is quite limited but has essentials.
Unfortunately for us, the pub was being refurbed and the hotel was changing hands so there was nowhere to drop in to eat or drink.
Will visit again, there was an 'attentive' neighbour who I am sure was trying to help regarding the waste collection system, but a little too much so.

It is well situated to do outdoor activities, such as hill walking and climbing. The only downside was the weather.
Although, probablby nit-picking, the sofas in the lounge were very uncomfortable. We were surprised that there was no BBQ.

"We had a lovely week at Coopers Rest (Gorffwysfa Coopers)."
There were six of us, plus our son’s girlfriend’s dachshund - ‘Cooper’!
We arrived to find a welcoming and reassuringly clean house, with a large family kitchen, the table all laid out and ready to go.
The rest of the house was equally clean and well presented. It has all you might need during your stay. Microwave, Washing machine, dishwasher, etc, with plenty of crockery, cups, glasses and utensils etc. We even bought our own slow cooker to do a couple of meals, only to find there was one already there. There are also the essential TV and WiFi, but also there’s a selection of board games and cards if you would prefer to leave all that behind - we had several tense Uno sessions!
The location is very quiet with wonderful views, which can be especially admired from the garden. It is well positioned for access to Snowdon (about 45 minutes to Llanberis, from where we walked to the summit ), Blaenau Ffestiniog and Betws-y-Coed ( both about 15 minutes away). On the doorstep there are walks, a small store, a pub and a railway station a five minute walk away (we travelled the one hour trip to Conwy and Llandudno, about £8 each return - well recommended).
Also in easy reach are the three Zip World sites. We did Velocity 2 at the Bethesda site. A bit pricey, but very enjoyable (get a discounted price if you can make a group of four).
Don’t miss Dolwyddelan Castle, it’s just a 20 minute walk from the house. You can go inside and there are lovely views from the top.
Slightly further afield you can go and explore Anglesey or visit Porthmadog or Aberystwyth.
All in all we had a fantastic week and achieved all we had hoped to, and this lovely house was the perfect base. I’m sure we will return at some point.
Thankyou for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed it.

"This is a lovely property, ideal for sharing time with family/ friends at Christamastime with its lovely big, well equipped family kitchen, filled with daylight (even on a rainy day)."
The lovely large twinkling Christmas tree added to the light and festive ambience.
There's been plenty of room for meal preparation, plenty of fridge space and good seating around the large family table. The living room is spacious, and the wood stove added to the cosyness. The beds are comfortable with enough wardrobe space, and plenty of additional towels, teatowels in case required. Heating has been just right and easy to control.
The upstairs bathroom is spacious and the shower works well, however, there was a problem with the downstairs en suite (a blockage in the washbasin drain, and the control knob for the downstairs shower being difficult to turn on and off). The GleamTeam were very helpful in calling a plumber, who solved the drain blockage on Christmas Eve, but he'll need to give further attention to the shower control when the property is vacant.
Apart from that little difficulty (for which we had good support), the property was everything we could have hoped for and would be happy to book again for another family occassion. :)

"Great place to stay, We only had two problems with the property ( not counting the boiler not working on arrival due to a frozen drip pipe which was soon rectified by the owner)
1) The key safe is too low down."
I'm old'ish and have poor sight so I had to kneel down in the wet to see the keypad.
2) The patio has poor drainage So when we arrived the water that had pooled on the patio had frozen solid making the whole of the patio an ice rink and was very slippy. This was due to weather conditions but a front door key or rubber mats or something in freezing conditions should be considered.
But over all a lovely property

"Lovely cottage set in the beautiful countryside of Snowdonia."
I would highly recommend for couples or families with children of toddler age upwards :) The cottage is such a short drive from many attractions and is very well kitted out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our 16 month old twins and would definitely come back once the girls are slightly older due to the house not being as baby friendly as we originally thought (rugs not hoovered so covered in dog hairs which covered the girls and their toys, fire place and wood exposed and a large step down from the living area to the kitchen, no stair gate for the stairs) so we certainly had to have eyes in the back of our head with two who have just started walking :)

"It was lovely and the dinning area was presented so well, however I did have to do a little cleaning on the second day, I was surprised that areas had been left or not quite done to a extremely high standard considering its covid."
also the ensuite toilet smelt so bad of wee i've never been on holiday before and brought bleach to clean a loo, the smell did return after the bleach use so maybe there's more of an issue. despite those two things I would definitely come back and recommend. i'm a perfectionist but I do think holidays are precious times so they nee to be perfect.
