Guests say
Bron Elan is a quaint cottage praised for its perfect location in Snowdonia, offering beautiful scenery and convenient access to local attractions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the charm of its traditional features. The local pub and walks are highlights, contributing to a generally pleasant stay.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with several guests finding the cottage well-kept, while others reported issues with unclean appliances and furniture. The kettle and sofas were specifically mentioned as needing attention.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Snowdonia, local walks, and a nearby train station. The scenic views and easy access to other places make it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Comfort receives mixed reviews; guests love the comfortable beds but consistently criticise the sofas for being old and uncomfortable. The living room temperature was also a concern for some.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen, but maintenance issues like a small TV, problematic shower curtain, and a non-functional central heating system were noted. The garden's suitability for dogs was also questioned.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.
