When we arrived at 7pm the cottage had not been cleaned but a team arrived within an hour to do the job.There is a bees nest in the chimney and we had over 100 dead bees on the window sill when we arrived. Bees were dropping regularly into the living room and we had to keep the front door , leading to an A road open to encourage them to exit swiftly.This fact had been flagged by the cleaning team to the owners but nothing had been done.The shower was not working and we waited for an electrician to arrive 2days later.The cottage itself is lovely but needs done attention, There are only 3 chairs in the entire house but it is advertised for 4 people, one wine glass to share and to cut anything you needed to use a massive bread knife.

Lovely cottage, and actually affordable for the area for this time of year. The cottage itself is comfortable, with a small well-equipped kitchen. The location is great for hiking and climbing, a 10min walk from the Glaslyn Ospreys, and just opposite the bus stop. We had a brilliant time in Eryri, as always :)

The cottage is perfectly situated and everything you need for a few nights stay.There is a problem with wasps coming in the front window. It’s not clear where they are coming from but it needs to be addressed as this is where the table is.The electric tripped mid shower. Voicemails left on both the owners phone and the caretaker. Neither responded. Luckily we were able to sort it.Other than this, the cottage is cute and adequate.
