We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute. Would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the garden more. Comfortable and clean and very quiet.

Lovely house on a beautiful stream.

Everything about this property was perfect for us. Beautiful setting, so peaceful with only the birds and river for company. Easy walking distance to the village. Loved everything about the cottage too, really tastefully renovated with a photo album to show how it used to look! Lots of extras from dishwasher tablets to a huge basket of logs made this place feel very welcoming. As you can tell we loved it and got excited about our return there each day 😃

Fantastic place so peaceful and beautiful cottage and garden, so close to town , well equipped and great communication with the owner

Beautiful cottage with countryside and river views. Large open garden ideal for relaxing in the evening after exploring snowdonia. Short 20 minute walk to pubs and restaurants which was perfect. The cottage had everything that we needed for a comfortable relaxing stay. Would highly recommend staying here!

Overall we really liked the property, it’s in a great setting near the river and close to the town, a lovely walk over the suspension bridge. It was a little tough to find from the road initially but no great drama. The house is very pleasant, high ceilings and exposed beams in the main rooms make it feel larger than it is. In terms of things that could be improved, the kitchen has high quality pans and utensils which is great but there’s so many that it’s actually hard to use them, thinning that out would be good. The lack of a stand-up shower is a bit baffling to be honest as the water pressure is great. The dining and sitting room furniture is starting to show its age and wasn’t super comfy but fine for a week. There aren’t any drawers in the bedrooms which was a bit of an inconvenience. These are all relatively minor, the main issue we had was the fusty smell, particularly in the bedroom nearest the drive. Not sure of the cause but we had to have windows open quite a bit to keep on top of it. As I say at the top, a great place, but it’d be superb if these points were addressed.

A very beautiful cottage, beautiful location that’s clearly well maintained and tastefully decorated / furnished. Good facilities for our stay (2 adults and a 7yr old) comfy beds, plenty of space for football in the garden or sunbathing and good cooking facilities for eating in. Woke up one morning to a buzzard sat outside the window and another to see a heron fishing in the river! Beautiful! Nicely located away from the madness of Betws-y-coed but walkable(ish) for dinner / shopping.

What a lovely location for a holiday home! We stayed for one week in July and explored the nearby National Park. It was a fantastic base for us to reach Snowdon, Bala, Conwy and LLandudno. The house was well eqippped and generally suited our needs well. The area down by the river was nice to enjoy a drink or a BBQ. We wished we could have read a little more about the immediate area. Usually, we’d enjoy browsing brochures or personal recommendations but this was definitely a missing touch. Thankfully there was brilliant internet connection so we were able to find a way around this. Another hurdle for us was the ‘shower’ which in essence is a bath with a rinsing tap! We ended up taking a bath every morning /evening and then rinsing with the shower or having to wash hair whilst leaning over the bath. Admittedly the bathroom looked the part but the fact that we couldn’t grab a quick shower certainly irritated me, especially as the week went on. Lovely bed linen on both beds - in fact it matched our own back home! Loved the towels also. We were slightly put out by a text message from the owner on our journey home to query sheep poo on the driveway. We were happy to explain that the sheep had managed to find their way over a wall, along a bank and into the driveway (and did so frequently) but it felt somewhat intrusive to have had a text message about this. A friendly email on our return, enquiringly if we’d enjoyed our stay, thanking us for following the cleaning list diligently and ironing out any further queries would have felt more welcome. Overall, we had a lovely stay and we have raved about the location of the house to friends and family. The communicative side of things could, in my opinion, be improved upon. Many thanks for letting us stay at Glan Rhŷd. Helen and Andrew
