We had a lovely family weekend stay with our two little dogs

The cottage was beautiful and had everything needed for a break away. Perfect spot if you're getting away for some peace and quiet with a view. The owner gave us lots information about the area and places to eat which was great. Would definitely recommend.

We have just spent a fantastic week at the cottage

From the moment we set foot in the door we felt at home, the cottage is so welcoming and very comfortable. A great deal of thought has gone into providing excellent accommodation with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay, including a welcome pack for us and treats etc for our dog. The beds are very comfortable and all aspects of the property are clean and well maintained. The owner is most helpful and considerate. It’s an excellent base for exploring the Snowdonia area. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage to everyone we know.

We stayed at Garreg Ddu for 4 nights

The cottage is so cosy, very clean and has everything you need and so much more. All the furnishings are good quality and the cottage is very well equipped and spotless clean. The beds are very comfortable , the linen so soft. The central heating is very responsive, it heats the full cottage very quickly. The location is stunning and quiet, a very good starting point for your adventure in Snowdonia. The host is very attentive, providing you with everything you need during your stay and lots of information about the surrounding area. It was a great holiday for us, we truly enjoyed our stay and we would certainly come back.

This cottage has WOW factor in our opinion.

It has beautiful part exposed slate wall interior exposed in places. The furnishings are extremely comfortable and on a cold dark wintry evening the wood burner (easy to light) is fabulous. Overall, an extremely comfortable cottage which was exceptionally clean on arrival.

The perfect stay

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Garreg Ddu. Caroline ensured that she provided all helpful information before we arrived regarding directions, location, recommendations and check in. The cottage is warm and cosy and we really appreciated the little things that made our stay including a welcome pack of milk and Welsh cakes. There were bins in each room and lots of sockets as well as extension leads available. We liked the shoe tray for our muddy boots, collection of DVDs and board games and the availability of things like salt and pepper etc for our cooking too. It is a well thought out layout and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location is fantastic with a range of places to eat and walks/hikes on our doorstep. The check in was easy and quick and there was always a car parking space close by opposite which we appreciated. Thanks for an amazing stay and we would love to come back. Nothing!

This was an exceptionally well presented and extremely welcoming place.

The owners made extensive efforts to help us locate the address and made it even more welcoming by erecting numerous sets of Christmas lights and an unusual Christmas tree. The battery powered lights had all been switched on and added to the welcoming feel. Everything supplied was clean, fresh and even tea and coffee making facilities were provided. Thank you for a lovely short break.
