Everything you could think of was there to make our stay as effortless and comfortable as possible. The owner was extremely warm and welcoming. Fantastic views and great location.
This is an exceptional place to stay - more of a home than a holiday cottage. The bed was very comfortable, as were the sofa and armchairs. The cottage was extremely well-equipped and had everything we needed. The lovely owners live immediately next door but it is quiet and the lane just below has very little traffic. The view of the mountains from the kitchen and outside sitting area is fantastic - it's a wonderful place to relax and recoup.
Beautiful setting with the most fantastic scenery... very comfortable dog friendly cottage every thing you need lovely and clean ... owner very kind and went beyond what was expected
It's a lovely, comfortable, well equipped cottage with superb views.
The cottage has everything you could want. It's beautiful, well equipped, the bed is so cosy and I could just live in there. The hosts are wonderfull, there is a lot off information. The scenery is marvelous, the coast is only 20 minutes away and nature and mountains even closer. You should be booking...
Fabulous location in very well-equipped comfortable property. You need to be prepared to drive your car up the very steep narrow bumpy grassy road. It doesn’t have to be a 4 by 4 though (ours was a 5 series BMW with a low underside). The views are stunning and there is plenty of room inside the property, much more so than the photo suggests. We sometimes stored two bicycles inside and they weren’t in the way. The bedroom is comfortable and large with a super comfy bed, and all the usual conveniences of sockets next to the bed on both sides and plenty of natural light via the three windows. The bathroom is brightly lit by a skylight and everything works well. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped and relaxing place to have meals. The living room is large and comfortable. There are quirky fun bits and bobs scattered throughout giving the place a character. We were there for two weeks and didn’t get cabin fever at all, although there is plenty to do in that area (car needed). The owner is very friendly and responsive to queries. The internet isn’t great, but this is beyond the control of the owner.
We had a really lovely stay. The house was on a stunning location. And on a good spot to start the daily excursions It had everything we needed and more. It felt also very homely so at a day of rain it was nice to stay inside and watch a movie (plenty on offer) or read a book. Very comfortable bed too. Lots of information about the surroundings available. Enjoyed it all.
Garreg Wen was a lovely, clean, tidy, and accommodating cottage in an beautiful setting high up in the hills. We enjoyed exploring the local area and found the setting tranquil. Only negative I can think of is it is perhaps not the most private of cottage locations.
Well presented, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Plenty to do in the local area.
Very well equipped, very comfortable warm and spacious. Quiet, peaceful with great views.
Very nice cottage in a beautiful location
Beautifully remote cottage with stunning views. The cottage is so lovingly appointed with everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing stay. Steep walks up but worth it. About half hour from village with a pub. Good idea to bring food, great kitchen with everything you need for cooking. Extremely comfortable kind bed. Our 2 dogs enjoyed it very much too, great walks for them. Close to many areas of beauty.
A really lovely place. Exceptional views over Snowdonia. Blissfully quiet. Friendly owners. Friendly cats. Staying here was a real pleasure.
Lovely maintained property in a delightfully rural area with everything you could need for a stay. Fantastic views and welcoming hosts too.
Immaculate cottage equipped to the hilt. It was so nice to find a cottage for two that was spacious. Beautiful and peaceful location yet ideal for touring the area. Plenty of super things to do in North Wales. Delightful owners. Our dog enjoyed it too - lovely walks. Highly recommended!
Fabulous location. High quality fittings and furnishings. This cottage would be great for anytime of the year. A real chill out place.
Lovely location, close to Bodnant. Cottage clean and spacious. Enjoyed the welcome food offerings.
A beautiful cottage in a remote location with stunning views of the Carneddau mountains, equipped and maintained to a very high standard
A beautiful rural getaway. The cottage was lovely and had everything you need for a stay away from home. It was cosy and spotlessly clean. The views were amazing and the location was perfect. The owners were on hand should we need them for anything, and called on our first evening to say hello and ensure we had what we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Garreg Wen to anyone, we had a lovely time, and would be more than happy to visit again!
