  A lovely farmhouse in a beautiful peaceful location.

  The games room was a hit with everyone. Everyone loved playing pool, football and table tennis. There was plenty board games, books, dvd’s and wii games that we didn’t have time to play with. There was plenty room for large parties. Lots of room to socialise downstairs with the kitchen lounges and games rooms. It might be better to have twin beds in at least one of the rooms. The garden was lovely and had amazing views would be o lovely to sit in if the weather was good. The log burners made the room lovely and cozy. The kitchen was really well equipped. However what let it down for us was the cleanliness of the kitchen or lack of. Crockery was wet and dirty, the cutlery drawer was full of crumbs and dirty and the cooker, roasting tins and frying pans and the drawers they were in was full of grease. It was that bad we had to wash everything and wipe out cupboards and drawers before we could prepare a meal. This was not what we wanted after a long drive on a Friday night. We did inform the owners who said they would look into it. This was a build up of grease and dirt not just from previous tenants. Others had mentioned it in the guest book and the response was there was only so much you could do in 6 hours. Maybe they need to look at employing more staff or not having turnover on the same day. The garden was also used as a toilet by 4 cats and a dog from neighbouring houses which we had to clean up daily as it got walked in twice. Having said this it did not spoil our holiday and we made lots of lovely memories. We visited Betws y Coed and Llandudno and did local walks. A lovely area which we all enjoyed We went for a meal at the local pub which was lovely and the staff so friendly.

  Loved the farmhouse.

  I booked it for a family 60th birthday celebration and it was very comfortable and well equipped. The games room was a wonderful bonus. The supply of books, dvds and games was a huge plus, as we shared the weekend with Storm Colm which hit Wales particularly hard.. Our party consisted of two dogs and a family member in an electric wheelchair.who needed a downstairs bedroom and a wetroom. I spoke to the owner before we arrived and he explained that although the gf bathroom was a wet room he did not list it as adapted for the disabled.ie it did not have grab rails, a comfort height wc or space for a wheelchair, so we were prepared for that. The wetroom is not large enough to manouver a wheelchair, as explained.The owner kindly left sheets of plywood which enabled us to move the powerchair on the gravel outside, where we loaded into the rear of our car with a hoist, and enabled the powerchair to enter and exit the property, because there is a small step. A manual wheelchair would not need this though. A really beautiful cottage, we had everything we needed and would love to return again.

  The owner was very helpful and keen to make sure we arrived ok and keen to be on hand to support with any problems had any arisen but they did not.

  Great short stay in a lovely, comfortable spacious property. Ample fuel provided for the log burners, milk, biscuits, crumpets and jam left for arrival welcome pack was lovely. The only grumble I had which was not to do with the property only the area that there seemed to be a lack of walking suitable for large dogs, the styles were difficult to negotiate and dangerous for my dog as wet, mossy and slippery, after a bit of an accident with a cut dog leg and bump to his head and 2 failed attempts over different styles we had to opt to walk on the road, however if I had been there longer I would have had more time to explore other footpaths, the weather did not help with this pursuit either given it was a wet muddy weekend. Advice on local walks on foot from the property would have been helpful and suitability for large or small dogs, styles, gates etc would be advantageous. On the other hand the games room and entertainment within the farmhouse meant that we did not struggle for things to do to fill the time when we would have gone walking.

  The house is up a narrow lane on the side of a mountain surrounded by fields of sheep and cows.

  A perfect getaway. There is another holiday home next to the property which has the name Bryn Dedwydd but we didn`t hear anything from our neighbours. The house is big enough and has enough space with games and activities to take a big family of varying ages without being cramped. there isn`t a tumble dryer and being in the mountains of Wales you can`t guarantee enough sun to dry clothes on the line...luckily we did so it didn`t matter. We all enjoyed the stay and would stay again. P.S. Google maps takes you up from South Wales on a narrow bendy road with gates for the last stretch. It is a fantastic picturesque road that I would normally take anyway out on a drive but if you are in a hurry and light is fading you may want to consider a longer route and come in on the A5. I traveled separately from the rest of the family in my Long wheelbase van and having done this road in the car I went back home through Ysbyty Ifor...another cracking road but wide enough for Vans and caravans.

  We had fantastic long weekend at the property with our whole family.

  (Upon arrival please note the key lock box is quite high on a wall round the corner from the front door, it took us a while to locate it, maybe due to the rain!) The house worked so well with downstairs bedrooms for those with limited mobility and also the dog owners. Plenty of rooms upstairs for the rest of us with spacious bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms. The games rooms kept us all entertained with table tennis, pool and table football. There are numerous board games, DVD's, CD's and books...there is something for everyone. The real fires in both sitting rooms were great, so make sure you purchase some wood and kindling on your way to the property. The kitchen is very well equipped. We would recommend the Giler Arms for food which is the nearest pub, just a few minutes drive from the house. Betws-y-Coed is worth a visit, great scenery and walks, and pubs and coffee shops. We will be back!
