Pen y Cwm Cottage

We loved the charm of the old cottage set in the row of terraces on the very quiet street. Love the stone, the slate, the wooden floors. The modern kitchen and modern bathroom were good too. The cottage was small, but still felt roomy enough for the 5 of us. There was parking in the street. It was in a great location close enough to everything we wanted to explore in Snowdonia.

We arrived late after our ferry, very disappointed to see that it was not completely clean. Bathroom was dirty; pubic hair and urine under the seat and hair on the lid, toothpaste on a slimey vanity, a shower mat with hair and dirt under it and a bathroom floor that was very dirty. The kitchen had crumbs all over the bench, used dishcloths and scourer on the sink and a dish drainer mat on the bench that was sodden and mouldy. The lounges were strewn with a collection of blankets (to cover up stains) and had crumbs on them too. Disappointing to have to clean the property ourselves. It made the experience unpleasant and did not help to make us feel welcome. Such a shame. We messaged the host to inform, they let us know that the cleaner was not able to attend and so had sent her partner instead. The place needed a good quality clean.

The location of the property is remote with beautiful scenery all around. With a car you are well placed to travel to the local areas. I would advise doing a trip to the local shops for groceries first before getting to the property so that you can get settled in as there is nothing within walking distance.

The cottage is decorated nicely, comfortable furniture and the kitchen is well lit

The cleaning was not good

The cottage itself was lovely, modern, had amenities to make your stay comfortable. Neighbours friendly. Do make sure you do food shop before you arrive. Make sure you do some star gazing in the quarry on a clear night.

Nothing was lovely and cosy.

Very comfortable and clean.

The details implied it was more in Penmachno than a good few miles outside!

Le logement de Mark était spacieux niché dans un écrin de verdure .

Le logement était sale à notre arrivée . Nous avons dû le nettoyer (salle de bain / wc / cuisine ).

Lovely house, very comfortable and welcoming, in a stunning area. We will definitely stay here again.

La casa es muy bonita por dentro, y muy cómoda las camas. no le faltan detalles. El sitio donde está es bastante apartado pero, todo depende de la actividad que quieras realizar.

We really liked the location of this property because it was in a beautiful valley with wonderful views. The remoteness was really enjoyable. It was great to stay in a property of slate construction. All the rooms were well proportioned, comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated.

There was a bit of a doggy whiff which was a shame but that was the only negative thing we could identify.

Location was quiet ! Next to a mountain to climb. A short drive from all local amenities. 10 minutes away is your newest shop. Comfy beds

The shower was not cleaned properly and would have liked tea / coffee included. Also think that we had to strip bed before we left for the price was a bit cheeky request. All other bits (kitchen / living / bedrooms were very clean). Would have liked toilet roll included
