2 Ysgubor Gerrig

• "Found our stay very enjoyable."

  Cottage very comfortable, lovely views and very peaceful. Concern's the driveway, the speed of the road needs to be 20 before the bend and a sign that says concealed driveway. Many thanks for a comfortable stay.

• "The property is clean and tidy and just as described."

  Parking is quite tight as mentioned in the description but it is possible to turn around and exit forwards. A 7 point turn was my best a 15 point turn my worst! With someone on the road checking for oncoming traffic, it is not overly onerous. On sunny mornings we had breakfast outside which was lovely looking over the fields and sheep. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Maybe a freestanding lamp in the sitting room for better light when reading?

• "2 Ysgubor Gerrig is an excellent holiday cottage in terms of: the way it's been modernised, furnished & equipped and its location which is just what my wife & I wanted for our walking holiday."

  We were able to do 3 lovely walks in the neighbouring hills & woodlands & one down to & along the R. Conwy. I particularly enjoy holiday places where I don't have to drive everyday to get to the start of a walk. There are plentiful maps & guides to the area provided by the owners. The driveway giving onto a sharp bend with obscured visibility was not an issue for us. We followed the detailed advice provided by the owners in the property notes & my wife went out into the road to check there was not on-coming traffic - sorted! Thank you for a great holiday cottage!

  Easy driving to various places eg Llanwrst, Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn bay, house very clean, ate out quite a bit but also cooked some nice meals in the house with a local butchers nearby in Trefriw which we walked to less than a 10min walk and 2 nice pubs serving food

• "Had a lovely week in a great location for exploring the area."

  Short drive into Betsw y Coed and good pubs and shop in Trefriw village as well. Would recommend Chandlers Bistro in the village too. Loved waking up in the morning to the view and baby lambs playing in the fields opposite. Nice comfy bedrooms both en-suite which is a bonus for us being 2 couples. Kitchen well equipped and we lit the log burner in the mornings and sat round the table having breakfast and enjoying the view. Would have been nice to have a working fire in the living room for the evenings, but probably a reason for this. Nice comfy sofas too. Stairs up to bedrooms steep so probably not good for people with mobility issues especially coming down, we had slippers with us, but the wood could be slippy if just wearing socks. As others have said pulling out of the driveway onto the road can be tricky, but we managed and it wouldn’t stop us staying there again. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

  We didn’t have particularly good weather and property felt quite cold downstairs (even with heating on). China/utensils of lovely quality and certainly had all modcons (with detailed user instructions, which was great) Location fantastic. 100% need mirror at bottom of drive… absolute nightmare getting out as on blind bend - one of us had to get out of car, cross road (on blind bend) and wave car out…. Could easily be remedied with mirror…. Neighbour had one.

  Clean and comfortable and although on somewhat of a busy road at times it did not bother us , getting off the drive is easier if someone goes across the road and watches the traffic and the driver out . A wonderful base for visiting lots of places and it’s in a very beautiful part of the country, we had a fantastic week , and the weather was beautiful , so that really was a bonus too , many thanks

• "Excellent cottage with amazing views."

  We had a 4 night break here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The cottage is extremely well equipped with everything we needed, and much more. The cottage was very clean and beds very very comfortable. Nice touch to have milk, tea, coffee and waffles on arrival. The location was ideal for exploring North Wales and plenty of local knowledge at hand with leaflets and information from the owners. The driveway was no issue as you could use the mirror opposite and listen for the traffic and see in the other direction. We would 100% recommend staying here and hoping to return in 2024. Thank you to the owners and the housekeeping team.

  First impression it smelled lovely . It was clean warm and comfortable and well equipped . Location is great and accessible to many attractions . Only difficulty we encountered was the steepness of the entrance drive and closeness to the main road which took a bit of getting used to. Other than that it was a great experience staying there and would highly recommend it .

• "For us, with our granddaughter it was pretty well perfect."

  We wanted somewhere near the three Zip World venues. Maybe lower tog duvets for the summer. For me as the driver getting out of and turning around in the driveway was a bit of a nuisance. It’s mentioned in the house book to use the mirror on the pole opposite. But it’s there for the neighbour. Anyway, the only safe way to do it is to get a passenger to cross the road, and check it’s clear to pull out.

Although the exit to the property is a bit tricky we didn't have any problems providing you turn round in the drive.We can recommend The Fairy Falls Pub for eating... good food and friendly staff.

It is immaculately clean the beds are very comfy. A very helpful information booklet compiled by the owner with all the daft bits that no one ever tells you but are essential to making your break go smoothly. The views are stunning and the local people very friendly. Overall a lovely home from home place to spend your holiday. We didnt want to leave. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us and being so helpful. It may be an idea to have a boot box or something outside the front or back door as after walking and having muddy boots we didnt want to trail into the kitchen, very minor point but may be useful.

  Had to reverse with help. Garden is at the front, so some traffic noise when sitting out there. These points were listed so not unexpected and did not spoil our stay. The equipment and facilities were of a high standard. Another set of bath towels would have been nice but not expected. Very comfortable, especially beds, with lovely views across fields. Close to lots of places of interest and we could walk into the village. We had a very good stay and would recommend this accommodation.

  Very minor comments - Driveway is very tight, difficult for long vehicles. Beds a little too firm for our preference, bi-fold doors give limited privacy for the bathrooms. Door mat is too small, so cannot avoid paddling wet boots onto the wooden floor

• "The drive up to the cottage is very tricky and this should be made clearer in the description."

  You can only go up the drive from one direction, it is on a blind bend therefore reversing into the road is impossible. I had to do a 7 point turn in a Golf so anyone with a bigger car would really struggle to turn their car around. The issues with the drive need to be explained so that people can make an informed choice. Also some extra toilet rolls would have been good. Only two half rolls available in the cottage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OWNERS RESPONSE We are sorry that you found the drive difficult during your stay. The drive is already highlighted in our cottage description. There is a mirror available to aid the exit from the drive and also the option to park on the road in front of the cottage.
