"Can yr afon, is a fabulous place to stay."
The gardens are beautiful, with the view across the river. The area of beddgelert is lovely, and beyond to North Wales. So the home is perfectly positioned for plenty of sightseeing.
I really hope to return in the summer months to make use of that fabulous garden. Thank you.

"We loved Can Yr Afon - it is a very special place with a unique character and we felt right at home there."
The garden and river are of course both spectacular but we also loved the quirky nature of the house, all the paintings everywhere and the secluded nature of the place. It is wonderfully situated for walking straight from the house and also for proximity to village shops and pubs. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. We would certainly love to return one day. Thank you very much to the owners.

"The advertisement stated that there were ground floor bedroom and bathroom."
If that is the ground floor we should have been told that the entrance was not ground floor.
We have used Sykes for many holidays, but this time we’re cheated of our annual holiday,and are extremely disappointed with the lack of interest from both Sykes and the owner.
We are sorry to hear you feel you have been cheated. Please be assured that this has been looked into.
Can Yr Afon is a ground floor property with a ground floor bedroom and bathroom as it is single storey, We do note on the website that there are steps within the property and the photo's are very clear in showing that both front and rear entry points into the cottage involve steps up. We will going forward note that there are steps to enter the property as well as the photo's available.

"This property could be outstanding with some investment and upgrades
Poor sofa and bed comfort have been mentioned many times so really disappointed to find no action taken as we booked almost a year in advance
Deep clean would also be ideal
Having said all of the above ."
.the grounds were fantastic and we have never been to such a peaceful location. If you don't mind rustic then this could be a dream cottage for your stay
Dog would have rated it 10+++ for the fabulous garden and river

"Beautiful gardens were the highlight, absolutely magical setting."
House fits the cottage in the woods vibe- rustic/shabby chic. Family of 4 and 2 dogs stayed for 4 nights. Well equipped kitchen. Having 3 toilets and 2 showers with plentiful hot water was useful. Could have stayed forever!

"We loved the quirky cottage which, nevertheless, had everything we needed."
The garden was like a mini National Trust property with mature trees, lovely shrubs and a fast flowing river running at the bottom. We saw rabbits, a hedgehog and lots of birds. The dog was in her element.
It was well placed for walking into the village, scenic local walks and the Welsh Highland Railway.
There were only two of us although the cottage sleeps four and had that been the case, we might have needed more plates and bowls for breakfast. My only other reservation would be that if you were holidaying with small children, you would need to keep a watchful eye on them in the garden. We didn't and it was fabulous.

We had a lovely time, very relaxing but could do with comfortable settees, the grounds are lovely to wonder around with the dog who loved it, two rabbits visited now and again and a Robin popped into the conservatory to say hello, the river was quite deep so beware if you can’t swim

"Beautiful quaint little place in a beautiful setting."
Very well set out and beautifully clean, we felt immediately at home. Showers lovely and hot and plenty of power, beds comfy and cottage warm. The whole place with the quirky layout, gardens and river is just magical. Everything you need for a really special stay.

"A little home from home."
It has a slightly worn but overloved feel to it that immediately allowed us to relax. Everything was in good working order and the bed and bedding extremely comfy. The garden is a thing of beauty and we can't wait to see it again in September next year. For us both to want so immediately to return again says it all. The location is close to the centre of the village but feels very private and tucked out of the way.

"No welcome basket that you get everywhere else or washing or dishwasher tablets for the appliances."
Place is nice in summer but would avoid in winter months due to how wet and muddy the property gets and trying to keep dogs clean. Fencing is not secure and our dogs got out.

"This cottage is quirky but is exactly as described and was perfect for us and our dogs."
The location is amazing and the garden is stunning, I was concerned the cottage might not be warm enough but it was super toasty and exactly what we needed after a snowy walk, very cosy and plenty of hot water too. We will be returning in the winter again.

"We fell in love with this place the minute we walked in."
The garden was so inviting for an explore. The water fall at the back was an amazing experience, although you must be very vigilant with the dogs, but we were warned about that any way. So knew what to expect. Perfect location for walking from the property and seeing the village . Good working Central heating and plenty of hot water with 2 showers and three toilets The kitchen could do with a bit of maintenance and perhaps a deep clean when the season has finished. Would definitely book and stay here again

"If you want a very modern up to date holiday home then this one isn't for you."
BUT if you love quirky, comfortable accommodation with superb showers, easy settees, and a most fantastic garden then chose this one. We had a lovely stay here with our two dogs, last week and loved it. If we come to this area again we would certainly stay here.

"Lovely little cottage."
There was the lack of a welcome pack or some basic essentials in the property however, lovely position. The river at the bottom of the garden can be fast running, I don't think that this was stressed enough in the description.
Would recommend this cottage and this lovely location.

"A quirky cottage in beautiful grounds with a fast flowing river running alongside."
The cottage which appears to be constructed of plywood with cement facia is now beginning to see its age. The kitchen is in real need of an upgrade mainly work top and cupboards. The sink tap often falls apart and water power runs dry. The main bathroom with shower is also in need of a revision and clean up and has a Faust smell to it. The main living room is ok spacious with wooden flooring and dining for 4 but the TV IS in real need of replacement and poor quality especially on those often raining days common to Snowdonia. In the corner of the main room is an entrance with dicy slopping steps to two double bedrooms. Yes they are small with left one much too small and really only suitable for kids. It has also a boxed in shower toilet unit which is only suitable for children unless your a size 10 adult. By way we found the shower in need of repair as it leaked onto the floor which we had to soak up after each use. Leading directly out of the main room you enter a small conservatory with small steps and shin into the back garden with chairs and tables. In good weather you can sit in comfort and eat and wine away the time in pleasant surroundings. The charge for the cottage does not match the quality provided to be honest coupled with many faults and poor quality furnishings. The number of steps in the cottage can be a bit dicy if your uncertain or elderly on your feet so can be annoying. It’s a nice location with on site parking and if good weather and your out and about eating and walking it’s ok.
