What our customers say about their holidays

  Bryn Seion is a perfect holiday house in every way but for one small thing.

  The house is perfectly situated right in the middle of lots of places to explore in Snowdonia so nowhere is too far to go and everywhere is very easy to get to. There is a big Tescos Extra about 5 minutes away so food shopping is easy. The house is big, very clean, and very comfortable. Lots of room to spread out and make yourself at home, the most enormous walk in wardrobe in the main bedroom and an upstairs bathroom big enough to throw a party in. It is very well equipped with everything you could need, washer, dryer, dishwasher and 2 fridges!!...heaps of fridge space for all the drinks for the party in the huge bathroom. Unfortunately the one small thing that lets it down is the world's smallest freezer.....in the huge kitchen that has everything including 2 fridges and room for a few more, the teeny tiny freezer sits on top of the washing machine in the utility room. We love this house, we stayed in it 2 years ago, the house and it's perfect location is the reason we booked again so the freezer doesn't put us off, it's just so annoying when food shopping for the family to have to think about whether I'll get it all in the freezer or not. In a house that big with so much space and just about everything in it why is there such a miniscule freezer more suited to a hobbit house.

  The cottage is a good distance from Y Felinheli where the local shops are situated.

  Property is spacious and well designed although the smaller bedrooms did not have any space for a wardrobe to hang clothes up. Even hooks on the bedroom doors would have helped. House is situated on a rat run and traffic is busy any time with people taking short cuts at speed. This property has two off road parking spaces in front. The road is narrow and cars have to park in front of other residences so there is only room for single vehicles to pass. There can be a queue on bin day or when oil is delivered. This should be made very clear to families with small children that they should take extra care outside the front door. Nice little secure courtyard at the back - pity we could not have a BBQ due to the wet weather. There were not enough toilet rolls for no. of occupants (one toilet had none) so had to phone a family member to buy some on their journey to the house. We were told by owner that cleaner had run out!! Glad we did not arrive late evening. There are plenty of places to visit in the area. Our family visited Caernarfon Castle, Velocity Zip Wire (for a 40th birthday) at Zip World, Bethesda and Fforest Coaster at Zip World FForest, Betws y Coed.

  A magical Christmas.

  .. The moment we arrived was just an amazing experience, beyond our expectations. There were 4 adults and 3 children staying for an amazing Christmas time and this property didn’t let us down. Walking in everyone was in awe, such a beautiful design and furnishing was of a very high standard throughout. We wished our 5 day stay was longer from the get go. We ventured out on Christmas Eve to the local pub (Glyntwrog - 5 minute walk) for a couple of merry drinks but couldn’t wait to return. Christmas Day was unreal, the kids woke us up at 3,4 and 6am although we were just as excited. Theres so much space here, we were all playing games throughout the day, then switched to a movie on the huge TV. Turkey was perfect even if I do say so myself, really helped with the two double ovens and kitchen space to prepare everything. I can’t praise this place enough, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again...and I will! Will definitely recommend to friends and family to stay also. Thank you for making our Christmas 2019 so amazing, treasured memories we will never forget.

  We throughly enjoyed our weeks stay.

  Capel Mawr was very comfortable, furnished and equipped to a high standard. Only some minor attention to detail that we would like to point out for future benefit - The heating seemed to be on constant, even when we thought we had turned it off! The owner could save a fortune in heating bills if this was sorted out. Dusty bedside lamps. Sensor lights in bathroom turned off whilst in the shower / bath, which was inconvenient but made sure we left the door open to the bedroom for light! Would have been helpful to have had more tea towels, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, bin liners, unless you point out that guests should bring these along. Really only attention to detail, small issue that can be sorted, no major issues at all. Capel Mawr is a fab property which is well located for Snowdon, Llanberris, Forest walks, Betws-y-Coed, Portmeirion. Local chippy worth a visit for supper. Spice restaurant or takeaway recommended. Peak restaurant in Llanberris excellent but you need to book ahead. Plenty to do out and about, or just chill out in this lovely house.

  Capel Mawr basement is a beautiful apartment with plenty of space in the main living room; it is also in a great location.

  The parking is ok for 3 cars - it is shared with the upstairs apartment, as is the main entrance. The four upstairs bedrooms are comfortable. The downstairs bunk room is quite small. The owner is friendly but needs to ensure that a few issues are addressed properly, in the current climate, such as the plumbing but above all the cleaning. I hesitate to recommend this property at the moment due to the lack of cleanliness; the kitchen area needed to be extensively cleaned by us on arrival, along with several other areas. Most of what Sykes said would be put in place, due to the pandemic, had not been addressed.
