  The location is perfect for all the main areas of North Wales from Snowdon to Llandudno and beyond. The cottage is very comfortable very clean and has all the facilities you need from a well equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The owner lives next door and always makes sure you are happy with everything and if any problems he will be there in minutes. A delicious welcome pack always there on arrival. Trip number 6 already in the planning

• "The property is in an ideal location for snowdonia and is of good size and well equipped."

  However the property lacks attention to detail, is not of a clean standard. Crockery and oven need replacing as chipped and not functioning properly. There are no protectors on pillows or mattresses.

• "Positives - the property is excellent value, spacious and mostly well equipped."

  It was clean and tidy and better equipped than many other properties I have stayed in. The wifi worked well. The garden is private, well kept, and ideal for eating outside. The owner Mr Hughes, is very friendly and approachable. The previous occupants didn’t leave when they should have and were uncontactable for several hours, but Mr Hughes went out of his way to keep me up to date with what was happening, and ensure that the property was still ready to move in that day. We finally got in just 5 hours later than planned, and Mr Hughes had left us extra goodies for the inconvenience. Yummy! Negatives with the listing description: Although it says ‘elevated position’ It doesn’t make it clear just how elevated! I didn’t know til I got there that it is such a steep incline that I could neither walk into town, nor use my mobility scooter. It was just too steep. So we had to drive even if I just needed a loaf of bread. It also states that you can see the action at zip world, but even If I used my binoculars, I could only just see a tiny portion of the zip wires, and even then I couldn’t be sure that was what I was looking at. The description says it is a 5 minute walk to Zip World. Not true. Even maps shows it as 15 minutes and that doesn’t take the steep hill into consideration. We didn’t go there anyway, but from these two comments I assumed I would be able to watch. Negatives with the property. The tv in the downstairs single bedroom didn’t work, but we never got round to saying anything. I’m sure if we had it would have been sorted straight away. The ensuite in the downstairs double was always damp - even when I got suspicious and thoroughly dried the floor before going to bed it was wet again the next day. There was a massive amount of drinking glasses in the kitchen, but not really enough plates, dishes and teaspoons. We had to keep washing up during the day, and there were no instructions for the main tv/dvd player. After several near falls and 1 fall down the step from the hall to the dining area, we ended up moving an armchair in front of the doorway to remind us to pause!. A handle on the wall, and a yellow strip on the floor may have been helpful there. These were all small property issues that didn’t really affect our enjoyment of the stay though. I would stay there again.

  It's a fabulous little cottage in a great area with loads of nearby activities to do. I think the only minor issues we encountered was that there were only 2 bowls in the kitchen and not enough towels for everyone. We were really pleased with what we got for the price and everyone had a fantastic holidays so we would definitely think about staying there again.

• "The cottage is on a narrow road with a lot of parked cars so the two off road parking spaces were very welcome."

  There's a step behind the garden gate, careful you don't trip down it! There's also a step down into the lounge, but our two year old grandson soon mastered it. Both bathrooms are downstairs, one in the ensuite double bedroom, one opposite the kitchen, with a huge corner bath and a shower cubicle. Loads of space in the lounge diner and a pretty little garden outside. One double and one single bedroom are upstairs, the second single is downstairs to the side of the stairs and is the smallest room. Easy to cook a meal in the kitchen, with enough pans, utensils etc. There wasn't really enough spare crockery to warrant running the dishwasher. We had a couple of takeaways from the yellow chip shop in Bethesda, tried their pizza, fish and chips and kebabs, all were good. There's a large Londis and a Tesco Express which meant we didn't need to go far for supplies. We had a great holiday, there are lots of places to visit nearby, and Zip World is a 5 minute drive on the other side of the main road.

  Nice and clean too, parking for two cars which we had. By no stretch of the imagination is Bethesda a 'picturesque holiday village' but as a base for exploring Snowdonia, Anglesey and other parts of North Wales it was just the job. I can well recommend it.

• "We were delighted with this cottage."

  It was clean, bright and spacious, we were a family of five with three teenage boys, so having a room each was brilliant. The cottage was beautifully decorated with tasteful furnishings and the log fire perfect for those chilly evenings too. We would totally recommend it to anyone, we could not have wished for more. The location was perfect, just off the A5 which meant exploring what this fabulous part of the country has to offer was ideal. We climbed Snowdon, visited four of the Edward 1st castles, went to Bangor, Llandudno, the Snowdonia National Park and even Chester, it was so accessible. We were made very welcome by the owner and appreciated the wine and the scones after our long journey from the south of England. Thank you very much - we hope to be back in the near future.
