  • "Disappointing stay."

    The property was unexpectedly cold when we arrived. We were provided with a few pieces of damp wood to get started with the log burner, but it wasn’t enough to even get us through the first night. The house has heating, but the thermostat is kept in a locked box and you have to text the owner when you want it to be switched on. I felt uncomfortable having to ask someone on Whatsapp for the house to be warmed up. For the price I paid I just wanted to stay in a cottage where I could disconnect from being online and using technology for a week, so did not appreciate needing to use WhatsApp to ask to warm up the cold house. The cleaning products and hand soap were empty, which I was told would be addressed with the cleaner but I didn’t hear anything further. We bought our own cleaning products and found that the kitchen sides were dirty. The coat stand fell over when anything was hung up. It almost hit my dog and also narrowly missed hitting my partner in the head on both occasions that we hung something up on it. When communicating with the owner about my concerns above, she just referred to the positive reviews that had been left before and I would have appreciated if more was done to acknowledge my concerns and to rectify the points I had raised. 

    We’re sorry to see this review. The Hive heating is on a timer and is set to come on from 7am until 9am,and then again from 4.30pm until 10pm, the thermostat is set at 21 degrees for these periods. If the temperature drops below this, during these times, the heating will come on automatically. It states in the information folder, that If guests need it on longer, or throughout the day, they can message us and we are happy to adjust this, as we did for your stay when you requested. Our guests comfort is a top priority. Complimentary logs, kindling and fire lighters are provided for all guests, it’s down to guest to buy their own logs after these have been used. Logs can be purchased locally. All essentials are supplied, including tea, coffee, hand soap, washing up liquid and a sponge. After checking with the cleaner, these were supplied as standard and the soap had been refilled before you arrived. To say the place was not clean is very upsetting. We have a fantastic cleaner and the cottage was fully cleaned prior to your stay. Impeccable cleanliness is an essential standard we have at the cottage. All our other guests have rated cleanliness very highly, we find it hard to understand why it would be any different for your stay. We have not been made aware of any issues with coat stand previously and we have used it ourselves without it ever falling over. It is a modern coat stand and when checked after your stay, was absolutely fine. At the time of your stay, you were expecting a dishwasher to be installed at the cottage, which was incorrectly listed by Sykes. This was something we couldn’t resolve during your stay, and you were compensated. I understand this was too much of a problem for you, and has resulted in this negative review. Were please to say we do now have a dishwasher installed for guests. As stated at the beginning, we’re sorry to see this review. You’re the only guests who’ve stayed in the Cottage and have not been happy, with their stay. Property Owner

The property

Ty Dyffryn is situated in an enviable rural, mountainous setting in Llan Ffestiniog close to Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, and boasts well-presented accommodation which offers the perfect base for exploring the delights of the surrounding region.

Ideal for walkers, the property is suitable for small families or a group of four travelling together.

The attractive terraced cottage faces towards the dramatic mountains of Manod and Moelwyn which means the holiday home is able to offer unrivalled views to its guests.

As you step into the house, the open-plan living space welcomes you in and you can imagine curling up together in the sitting area in front of the delightful woodburning stove, getting warm and watching the weather moving dramatically over the mountains outside.

When guests get hungry, the kitchen is equipped with everything needed to produce hearty food for the holiday party and you can keep the designated chef company by pulling up a stool at the breakfast bar and pouring a glass of your favourite tipple.

If the weather allows then there is an outside terrace area with impressive rural views making it a magnificent spot for spending time alfresco.

You could consider stepping out the back to relax on the Sun terrace to enjoy the Summer weather while sitting with your loved ones.

At bedtime, there is a double and a bunk bedroom which both enjoy superb views and offer a relaxing oasis to rest your weary heads.

After a quick shower in the morning in the stylish shower room, you and your fellow guests are ready to get out and about exploring.

There are so many walks, hikes and rambles literally from the front door and there is something for everyone regardless of age and ability.

Any pets will love it too with loads of dog-friendly walks in the area.

As well as the nearby mountains, Snowdonia National Park is within a short drive and is well worth visiting if only for the spectacular views.

Take some time off from hiking, with a trip on the famous Blaenau Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railway which takes a 40-mile route through the captivating North Wales’ countryside and offers some simply sublime scenery along the way.

Nearby towns and villages worth heading out in the car to visit include the famous Italianate village of Portmeirion, the bustling town of Porthmadog, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy and Bala.

Ty Dyffryn offers a holiday oasis surrounded by dramatic mountains and beautiful countryside.
