Y Cilgwyn war der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für unseren Wanderurlaub im Snowdonia Nationalpark. Das Cottage ist sehr modern und komfortabel eingerichtet und für einen längeren Aufenthalt perfekt ausgestattet. Richard ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, welcher uns zur Begrüßung mit einem selbstgebackenen leckeren walisischem Früchtebrot überrascht hat.
Für kleinere Besorgungen liegt 100m entfernt ein kleiner Dorfladen, das Dorfpub für das abendliche Bier ist 2 Gehminuten entfernt. Größere Supermärkte sind in Porthmadog (Aldi, Lidl, Tesco) nach ca. 20 minütiger Autofahrt zu erreichen. Hier kann man auch prima indisch Abendessen. Unser 2wöchiger Urlaub in Wales war, auch dank der Unterkunft, fantastisch.
Hier gibt es nichts zu beanstanden

Zeer compleet ingericht huisje, niet in het meest pittoreske dorp van Snowdonia maar in een plaatsje waar mensen vooral gewoon wonen en werken.
Prima basis om de omgeving te verkennen.
Eigen parkeerplaats bij het huisje.
Zeer attent welkomstpakket bij aankomst. Veel privacy, eigenaar slechts 1x gezien.
Goede rails in de kamer bij de kachel om de onvermijdelijke natgeregende kleding op te hangen om te drogen
Koelkast had een hele funky geur, alsof er vis in had gelekt.
Het beddengoed voelde wat klam/plastic aan (hypoallergene stof, vond dit niet heel fijn maar dat is heel persoonlijk).
Zou het fijn hebben gevonden als er nog iets van een kapstok was bij de voordeur, zeker met het natte Welshe weer.
Decoratie was wat anoniem, zou het leuk hebben gevonden als er meer locale foto's, kunst of leisteen gebruikt waren ipv reclameposters voor New York of Barcelona :) De omgeving van het huisje is zo mooi, maar komt niet terug in het huis zelf.
- volgende punt kan de eigenaar niets aan doen:
jammer dat er wel een pub is in het dorpje, maar het eten was er echt heel slecht. Gelukkig is er wel een goedgevulde buurtsuper op enkele meters lopen van de voordeur en is in de keuken alles aanwezig om zelf (uitgebreid) te koken.

Bedrooms lovely size, furniture good quality and comfortable.
Adjustable heating and all radiators worked.
Lovely powerful shower.
Not cluttered.
Washing machine and tumble dryer both worked fab.
Parking for 3 cars was so helpful.
Cake was delicious, and the handbook very helpful and witty.
WiFi worked really well.
Quiet street, great pub up the hill.
It really suited our needs and we were very comfortable there. We're so pleased we booked it.
Perhaps a heated clothes rail for drying walking boots / coats would be useful, we put the clothes horse infront of radiators but it took ages to dry and felt like it was making downstairs smell damp.
Also, another recycling bin in kitchen would help us keep waste more separate ie for card, paper, cans etc

Everything you needed - easy to get access, friendly owner who was there if you needed but didn't intrude.
It was quite cold in the lounge - it would be good if there was a rug

The front area.
On booking we were told there would be a king size bed and a queen size bed and 2 twin beds and 2 singles and instead we had a bunk bed 1 queen bed and 2 singles.

Everything was perfect. The house was very comfortable and instantly felt like home. Richard the host had left delicious welsh butter and milk in the fridge and a loaf of bread and then arrived with yummy fruit cake. The kitchen was well stock including tea bags and washing machine tabs. We had a great time and would definitely return.
Nothing, it was perfect!

Richard, the host, was very welcoming and gave us a lovely 'Barm Cake' on arrival. The property was clean, cozy and warm, especially because of the log burner. The beds were comfortable. Great hot water pressure in the shower. Only a two minute walk from the countryside. Fantastic little grocery shop within a minute's walk. Pub, pharmacy and newsagent also in the village. Perfect for Snowdonia and Portmeirion.
The bedrooms listing on Booking.com was not correct when I booked. The accommodation consists of 1 large double room with a King size bed. Another room with twin single beds and a third room with sturdy bunkbeds. This did not bother us as our party was 2 adults and 2 children. The property is also listed on Sykes Cottages where the listing is correct.

The host lives next door and came around to greet us, he let us know that he would be on hand to resolve any issues. Really nice and friendly! The house was large and well stocked with everything you could need. They had really gone above and beyond with the little details - including local bread, milk and homemade cake. Village is really quiet, local shop are also friendly. We went for a walk at night and saw incredible stars. Conveniently located to get to the different parts of the national park.
One of the twin mattresses had dipped so we swapped it with a spare bunk mattress (likely that this just hasn’t been noticed). All other beds were comfortable and decent sized rooms
One bathroom meant queuing.

Everything was fine apart from the weather

The location was perfect, loved the village and the people in it. Not too far to anything really and even Snowdon was only an hour away but what a drive !
I think an additional bathroom would have been nice, that’s not a complaint just there were six of us and waiting times for showers and the like could be a bit lengthy.

Beautiful forest Park within a 10 minute drive. Lots of spectacular walks not too far away.
Host was a little intrusive, came around too many times. Not a very pretty part of snowdonia
