  Lovely stay at this cosy house.

  The owner was responsive to initial enquiries and also throughout our stay. The property is in a fairly rural location but just a short drive from Betws-Y-Coed and surrounding areas. The access, which someone else mentioned in a previous review, was a bit bumpy and difficult for our campervan but we managed it and on the last day of our stay the owner was doing lane maintenance so future guests shouldn’t have a problem. The house itself is very cute, with a games room and a spacious living room. It is obviously an old property which comes with its share of quirks and issues, but nothing which detracted from our experience. We had a fire going every evening which kept the place cosy, and the blankets and quilts provided meant we were very warm in the night. The bathrooms were spotless, the showers hot and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and all the utensils you might need. Some constructive criticisms: the second shower (over the bath) should have a shower curtain as you can easily flood the place when using it! The bottom right hob switches itself on continuously even when not in use (as soon as you flip the power switch for the oven and cooker) which is dangerous so should be looked into. The living room fire has quite a small fireguard around it and on one evening sparks flew over the top onto the carpet. We put them out straight away but we were concerned what would have happened if the dog had been lying there. I would suggest putting a higher one in place. Finally, the towels provided - although lovely and soft - were all the same colour and after about 2 days of hanging them on the towel rails to dry we were all mixing them up! I would recommend getting different colours or embroidered towels to help with this. Overall the four of us and our dog really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend staying here and would happily stay again if we were in the area. Thank you Jane for a lovely week!

  Absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and decorated cottage with framed prints of local landscapes in each room.

  Waking up to the fantantastic views made me feel like we were in another world. Our first evening at the cottage we sat in the garden taking in the view of the Moelwyn Mountains and enjoyed drinking the wine that was left chilled in the fridge for us (Thankyou Sarah). The neighbours and all the locals were friendly and knowledgeable of the area which was great. There are so many things to see and do locally, Portmeirion, Harlech Castle, shopping and lunch in Caenarfon. We were unsure what attractions would be open during our week, but there was plenty to do and we enjoyed our week as much as we would have done anytime. We highly recommend Moelwyn View Cottage and now that I have been to Snowdonia, I so much want to visit again , maybe with my sisters who I know would love it as much as I did. Such a lovely holiday that was so needed after a challenging few months.

  This was a lovely place, beautifully renovated and very comfortable.

  It had everything we needed to make it a very pleasant stay, a great kitchen, comfortable chairs and beds and a good bathroom with bath and separate rainfall shower. It is ideally located for Snowdon and the other major mountains (Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr, Carnedd Llewelyn etc), all less than 1 hours drive away, as are the costal towns of Conwy and Caernarfon. We found a couple of goods pubs with food, The Grapes at Maentwrog (about 6 mins away) and the Saracens Head at Beddgelert, (further but good for Snowdon). Both had excellent food at reasonable prices and large portions, with both we found it a good idea to book if trying to eat between 6 & 8 pm as they get very busy - a testament to the quality of food perhaps.

  A lovely break in this cottage which was just the right size for a family of 3 and our small dog.

  The bedrooms and the beds themselves were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. Electric radiators were powerful enough to heat each room. A couple of things could have been better - no wood was provided for the wood burner and the only bag we could get hold of from the local shop was damp. Having a log burner was a selling point in winter so it was frustrating to have a burner in the property but unable to use it. There was no visitor info sheet / card with things like wifi code so we had to contact the owner for some info, but they responded quickly. Didn't spoil our stay - just a shame about the burner. Harlech itself was VERY quite out of season, but that's what we were after.

  This lovely cottage was perfect for our winter holiday.

  Sarah has put her stamp on the cottage and she has made a fantastic job of renovating this Quarryman's Cottage. Great location in a nice village with a great community pub just a few steps up the road and such friendly people. Good location for exploring along the Llyn peninsula, Anglesey, Snowdonia and some lovely walks and places to explore locally. Always nice to return though to this fantastic cottage with a lovely cosy sitting room with log burner and a really well equipped kitchen. A comfy bed and lovely bathroom. Views over mountains from the kitchen and front of the house. We have returned home rested and relaxed and would be happy to stay in Moelwyn View again.
