"Just an absolutely charming spot!"
Very well maintained and amazingly we didn't hear our neighbours at all.
It's a great location to use as a base and explore the best places in Snowdonia.

"Great little cottage, really cosy, all facilities to cook own meals, which was really handy, as we like to cook when away."
It is in a lovely location, really quiet and private. Also a good base to explore the beautiful Snowdonia national park. Really liked the outside space to sit and relax.
Shower pressure a little low, but we didn't mind too much.
John the host was lovely and was very approachable.

"The cottage is ideal for two people wanting to get away and enjoy a peaceful and pleasant location."
We were made to feel very welcome on our arrival by the owners Kathy and John.
Most places of interest were within and hour or so drive and only 10 minutes from Betws-y-Coed. The weather was not particularly good to us but did not stop us getting out and enjoying the beautiful scenery and coastal resorts.
Two downside things to the Cottage were
1) The Shower. Very small and the water pressure was poor, nothing more than a trickle. We were told about this on arrival but to late by then. We have stayed in a lot of Holiday Cottages and this is the worst Shower we have come across.
2) The Bed. Wooden frame with wooden slatted base and a thin Mattress. This made the bed very low and (in our opinion) not very comfortable.
Despite these two things we would like to thank Kathy and John and would recommend this Cottage for a couple looking for a peaceful holiday.

"Bwthyn is a lovely little holiday cottage, ideal for 2."
Everything needed is provided. The owners are very helpful. We had a problem with the shower but he came straightaway and fixed it. The only comment I would have is the lack of a blind for the skylight above the stairs, as I woke every morning, as soon as it got light, but I appreciate that this could be difficult, due to the height. The cottage is in a beautiful, rural position, with no traffic noise at all, which we were thankful for.

"The cottage was perfectly equipped for what we needed for the week!"
All of the basic amenities were there and we didn’t once go ‘oh they don’t have ….’! They have everything you’d need for the week. Understandably during covid there is a few restrictions on soft furnishings etc but that didn’t change the overall outlook of the experience by having to bring our own towels or tea towels. The owners are very helpful and such lovely people, they were there if you needed them (by phone!). The data connection around that area too is perfect for us as young adults, ran on 4G perfectly. The cottage is isolated from the main road, only a little side road that is only used by the owners and the cottages, and not once did we even hear our neighbours! The shower is okay for what you need it for, the pressure isn’t always the best but there’s running water that you can wash yourself with easily so no problems there for us! Overall we had such a lovely stay, the weather was on our side too and we would definitely look to book again in the future :)

"The cottage is in a splendid spot high above the Conwy Valley, with views of the Snowdonia mountain range."
It is one of three with a shared front garden area and private sitting out area just in front. Parking is adequate for several cars. Despite mentioning no children and pets in the blurb other guests had brought a spaniel which barked at me on arrival, otherwise it was very well behaved. The birdsong is marvellous just now in early May, with cuckoos calling. Because of the corona virus restrictions I saw little of the owner(s) whose house is down the yard at the back. However Mr Bradley did make an appearance to ensure I remembered it was a 9am exit on my last day. This suggested they were more anxious for me to depart than to arrive. Local farmers seemed friendly and courteous (this is very much sheep farming country). Overall a good staycation.

"We had a really lovely time at the cottage."
It was in a quiet and secluded area with beautiful surroundings which made for a great getaway.
However, a few points to highlight.
I understand the pandemic situation and realise that standards need to be adhered to but the amount of money was a lot for the check in and check out times that were a bit extreme.
The shower really needs sorting out. The pressure is really low but then once it gets hot, the temperature gauge determines if the shower is on or not. So its either a scalding hot dribble or off.
There needs to be lights between the parking area and the accommodation. We got back in the dark after being out for the day so It was pitch black between the car and the front door and if you have your hands full, it's not easy going!
But we really did have a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

"The cottage is away from the main road down a series of country lanes and sits on top of an hill overlooking the beautiful valley with mountain views."
Our cottage was one of 3 forming part of a converted barn next to the farm. It was compact but just about had everything we needed. Inside you have an oven, microwave sink etc to cater for your own cooking. There’s a comfy sofa and tv for relaxing in the evening, oh and a bbq that we didn’t use due to the time of year. Upstairs you have a bedroom which has a bed (so comfy) and toilet and shower, my only negative would be it hasn’t a bath but that won’t stop us returning.The cottage is so quiet and peaceful and clean. Well located for snowdonia etc.
