"Gorgeous little unique property - perfect basecamp for those that want to go off an explore Snowdonia!"
Loved having outside space and log burner to return 'home' to after a long day of walking Hosts were wonderful, and even let us know when the property was available for us to check in - which was earlier than expected, so that was a lovely bonus! The property is beautiful - decorated and styled in a modern way, without losing touch with it's heritage and history The only small issue I can see with this property ( And it's not an easy fix for the owners) is the damp/mould (which is bound to come with this size and age of property). It wasn't too much of an issue for us, but for example, if you have a mould allergy (my mum does) I would probably avoid this property in the wetter/damper months ( which unfortunately has been the whole year!)

"Cottage was nicely decorated and size was as expected so while small we were aware of this in advance."
We found the bed in the main bedroom to be too small and soft so pretty uncomfortable, edges of the mattress were particularly soft so felt like we would fall out of bed every time we moved. A firmer mattress would help. There was a problem with damp in the cottage - which the owner is clearly aware of and trying to mitigate with moisture absorbing remedies and a small dehumidifier but they're not really adequate. We were lucky to have dry, warm weather for our stay but still found anything paper felt damp. It would also be helpful to have one empty cupboard or at least a shelf to store food in the kitchen as, apart from the fridge, there was nowhere to store the small amount of food we brought so it was all on the kitchen counter and all week.

"Alwen was great and sorted out problems immediately."
The property does look rather bigger in the photos and is only suitable for 2 people. The cottage would not be suitable for anyone with even slight mobility issues or someone who was of “large proportions”. Being tall was a bit of a challenge too as the kitchen, bathroom and stairs required a lot of stooping. A full length mirror would be useful in the cottage.
Thanks for coming to stay, I'm sorry if you felt the property photos is not a true reflection of the size, I have included as many as I can, and it does say in the description that it is compact, but very cozy and everything you need. I will add a full length mirror in the bedroom, thanks for the suggestion. Property Owner

"Alwen was an excellent host."
Fantastic and informative pre holiday information, clear directions to the property and excellent communication regarding a pre holiday issue. I would absolute recommend these hosts and look forward to staying in the property again next year.

"Great little cottage for a couple, great to have your own parking space , beautiful Welsh welcome basket and yummy cake , a 20 minute pathed walk into Betsy, unfortunately the short cut bridge is closed, all hotels and pubs are great for a meal after your days walking , Alwen was very fast to respond to questions and helpful with local information."

"We had a truly relaxing and very comfortable stay at Bron Celyn Bach."
We especially loved the log burner, it was just what we were looking for. The cottage is ideally located, within walking distance of the shops and pubs. A big thank you to Alwen, who was very accommodating and so helpful. We'll definitely be returning. Diolch yn fawr iawn Alwen.

"The cottage was lovely."
Just great for two people, everything you needed was at hand. We just loved it
-
"A lovely little cottage about a mile walk outside Betws-y-Coed."
Could do with more storage but cosy and very clean. Ideal for the two of us. Take care with dogs / young children as the garden has shared and unsecured access points. Restful and quiet. Would definitely consider visiting again.

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage and although on the small side - especially if there were 4 people - it had everything we needed."
The welcome hamper with cake was a lovely surprise and Alwen was very friendly and helpful. It is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location and we hope to come back soon. Just a shame about the weather

"The owner of the property was very helpful and we had a thoroughly enjoyable 2 days in the cottage"

"Have already noted in owners book."
A lot of effort made with cottage but that left no space for our things (food, clothes etc). Very well equipped but more suitable for a small agile family but not 4 adults. Two of us moved elsewhere, just because of space and awkwardness of facilities. Bathroom very small and at end of kitchen.

"Absolutely stunning cottage and location."
Cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We very much appreciated all of the lovely touches such as welcoming basket with local cakes, bread, jams, beers. Pubs and shops are within walking distance. Plenty of things to do in the area (waterfalls, lake, hiking paths) + great starting point to start exploring the Snowdonia. Alwen is very friendly and super helpfull. Place is 100% dog friendly. Our little furry boy had a time of his life. Would love to come back soon.

Step indoors to be met by the lovely living/dining room, with a traditional feature fireplace encompassing a woodburning stove, perfect for lighting on cooler evenings.
Locate the galley kitchen, compact yet well-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can prepare meals, ready to be enjoyed around the dining table, or outdoors in the front garden.
Soak up the rural views surrounding the area by enjoying an alfresco affair with your favourite tipple in hand, before retiring to one of two double bedrooms.
Awaken to a refreshing shower in the ground-floor shower room, before heading into the village to stock up on the essentials, to dine out at a local cafe, or to stroll along River Conwy with your furry companion in tow, before reaching the Conwy Valley Railway Museum, Fairy Glen hiking area, or the thrill-seeking attraction of Zip World Fforest, residing less than a mile away from your doorstep.
