• "Beautiful cottage and location, not very easy to find."

  The roads to the house are very narrow and steep and the directions on sykes are wrong, it takes you to another house up the hill. There is a short track to the house, with eggs for sale at the start of the track. The house is on a small hobby farm, and there are a number of farm dogs that are roaming free, the dogs seemed friendly enough and only barked every now and then when we pulled up the drive then run back to their house. One liked to visit us in our garden jumping over the wall, we kept our dogs away as one was nervous of other dogs. The owners who lived on the farm were so friendly and helpful. We fell in love with the house and the views were just beautiful, the beds were super comfy. There was a few things that were broken in the house like the dining table chairs but it has most things you would need. We had a lovely roast at the pub nearby Y Bedol. Would love to stay again, its a great base for lots of attractions, bodnant gardens is a must see, just amazing.

• "Even though there was no washing machine listed, there is a washing machine in an out house just around the corner from the cottage."

  Emma was welcoming on arrival, and if we needed anything we just had to ask.

• "The house is in a wonderful location close to lots of places of interest But The huge negative are the dogs."

  When we first pulled into the property there were several collies blocking the driveway clearly protective of their territory. They were temporarily called back to their home but when we were walking through the garden to the front door they all came bounding over the fence - barking and snapping very aggressively at us. We are a dog family, we like dogs and had our own with us so it's not that we are nervous around animals but these dogs were clearly and aggressively defending their home. The owner had very little control over them. I had to hurriedly hide my kids in the house. It was very scary and not at all what you want when you arrival at your holiday home. Throughout the week I was afraid to be out in the garden as could hear dogs barking close by, once one appeared in the garden and another time one sat outside the kitchen window watching me. Mid week we unfortunately managed to lock ourselves out the house (easily done as the door automatically locked when closed). We have no contact number for the owners, Syke's helpline insisted I had to phone the cleaning company to arrange a collection of the key- but despite leaving 2 messages with the cleaner no one got back to me. Eventually I just went round to the neighbors/I assume owners. I had been reluctant to do so because of the dog situation. As I predicted when I went round a pack of dogs ran up to me barking aggressively and one tried to nip my leg. The owner did apologize but I had to run away to my car and literally wait in the car until the dogs eventually went home before I felt safe enough to venture back to the house. It was scary and intimidating. I did not let my kids play unsupervised in the garden and actually felt uncomfortable sitting in the garden myself. The night times were noisy with dogs barking, which may well have been from elsewhere in the valley but was still disruptive. There was a velux window directly above the main bed so the room was very light. I found mouse poo in the bunk bed top bed and window sill. I don't normally write reviews and I'm not a natural critic but I felt obligated to give feedback on this occasion. Basic needs - safety and hygiene but sub par. Indeed I feel obligated to explain the dog situation as I would hate there to be an incident with a future guest. I was going to say not suitable for families with young kids or people with fear of dogs but actually I dont think it should be limited to this. Being afraid of going outside from house to car and not being able to enjoy the garden definitely tainted the holiday. Safety concerns for the property.

  We had the most perfect stay in Pant Yr Iwrch and really didn’t want to leave. The cottage itself is very nice and traditionally done up but with all the mod cons - we appreciated the waterfall shower after a long walk!

• "Couldn't regulate heating system as tjwrw was NO thermostat to alter, even though local instructions said there was one in the kitchen, the place needed a good dust and polish, the bins were full of recycling in the kitchen, and NoT emptied from previous occupants."

  There was NO suitable outside lighting and it was very dark when we came back from our trips. To negotiate the gate and pathway caused some concern as I'm disabled with knee issues... overall a quaint cottage that could do with some tlc and attention to cleaning the rooms and bathrooms..facilities were old and outdated.

• "Enjoyed our stay, it had all we needed to stay there ."

  The dogs were welcomed ,it was great for them with an enclosed garden. It was a long way up a single track which was closed for road works so we had to find another way , that wasn't a big deal but a little un nerving . If I have a tiny criticism it would be the cobwebs and dust on the beems. Nice host lovely fella , greeted us with a smile .

  The cottage has been very thoughtfully renovated with great facilities. It was refreshing not having reams of information to read through on arrival & were able to discover what we needed when we needed it very easily - the lights in the old bread oven were a nice surprise a few days in! We soon got used to driving on the narrow roads to the cottage & loved the walk up to the waterfall suggested by Ben. We’d previously stayed nearby so it was nice to have some local insight to what was worth doing in the area other than the usual activities. Sandra & Ben were very informative & welcoming and really made us feel at ease. Thanks for a lovely week!

  Directions in the description could be more detailed if you dont have satnav. Very nice area, garden and views. Quite rustic accommodation and would be enhanced by updating the kitchen especially when you have 6 people to feed. Beds were very comfortable and linen were very good quality. Bathroom was good. Smell of oil in the garden depending on the wind direction and sooty smell in the lounge.

  The place has got tons of character, amazing furniture, and spectacular views. All the things N-Wales is famous for are within close reach (the mines, the beaches, the mountains), and the routes to get you there are a delight to drive. Host Richard is a real gent, who went above and beyond when we ended up with a flat tyre. Can't say enough positive things about the entire experience.

  We did get lost locating the cottage, however having the extra Google link, description and photo did help up to finally locate the cottage. On arrival it was homely, warm with extra touches like dog treats for our dog. Having a fire really made the cottage. It brought back past memories from being younger. Suggested improvements: a cooker range, a door curtain - it got a bit draughty, and maybe lowering the bed. Overall a pleasant start to our Christmas. Thank you.
