We have been to this cottage a few times now and have always been very happy with everything about it. This year we came for 4 weeks! We’ve had another lovely stay and have booked for another 4 weeks for next year. We would fully recommend Bwthyn Glanllyn.

Situated within a motorhome/caravan park right on the edge of the lake. Property is right next to the owners house who also owns the holiday park.Nice little games shed with darts and a very small pool table. A bit dusty though.Nothing wrong with the inside/outside of property but could do with some fans inside for the hot weather. We actually found the double room mostly too hot to sleep in even with the windows open, fine when weather cooled down. The beds were a bit hard. My one complaint would be that the shower in the cubicle has hardly any water pressure so took a long time to shower. Perhaps this could be looked at going forward.
