Ddol Helyg Barn, Ddol Helyg Farm, Cwm-y-Glo, Llanrug, Gwynedd, LL55 4DA

Lots of space for a large group to gather together in the kitchen or living room in comfort, whilst having plenty of areas to spread out rather than being on top of each other (9 adults, 4 young children including a baby). The kitchen is extremely well equipped - there was nothing we couldn't find, including a cafetiere. Small, enclosed, lawned garden - great for the dogs and for drying washing (washing line and pegs provided). The floors are beautiful, polished wood so care is needed with small children and dogs - we had several episodes of human and canine splits in the first couple of days.

Thank you, Barbara, for your hospitality and providing the perfect venue for a special birthday x

This was our first time staying at the barn and we will definitely be returning! Barbara was very friendly and welcoming, she couldn?t do enough for us. Great location for all the tourist attractions eg Snowdon, Llandudno, Conwy and lots more! The pub was only a short walk away. The Barn was spacious, clean and comfortable, perfect for a large family and dog. Well equipped kitchen with large table to seat the whole family. It was a bonus that all five bedrooms had their own en-suite. Everyone had an enjoyable time. Thank you Barbara x

We stayed here with friends in February and could find no fault. The proprietor, Barbara, went more than the extra mile to ensure our stay was beyond expectations despite the winter weather. We have stayed in many locations but this was superb value

This is the second year we have stayed at this venue with a group of mates. Last year was a bit of a wash out for me as I had to spend a few hours in Bangor A&E having a broken wrist fixed and subsequently had to cut short my stay by one night. This year we booked the other house ?the Barn? and this was a pleasant surprise, very modern, nice big kitchen and living room. All of the bedrooms were a good size too. The pub up the road did a smashing meal on Sat night. Barbara the owner was a star, I asked her where the nearest local shop was as we had forgot to bring some butter/marg for breakfast and she shared what she had with us. The facilities are great plenty for a bog party would highly recommend. The pottery is an added bonus.

On arrival this property looks lovely However.... this house needs a deep clean and then regularly a good clean in between guests. The lounge area is bright & spacious but the couches are filthy under the cushions the floors are dirty nothing had been moved and cleaned the kids socks were filthy after walking around. The bunk bed room is very dirty under the bunk bed... lots & lots of dust & dirt and unfortunately this was the case in every bedroom... all the bathrooms were not clean lots of grouting issues the shower heads are rusty just generally uncared for ... the televisions in the bedrooms mostly dont work but to be honest The size of the are not worth having anyway ... the bedside lamps were dirty and if you like to read before going to sleep they were neither use nor ornament. Big issue with the water temperature when we rang to report it we were told we all couldn?t take a shower at the same time so getting up & ready for the day wasn?t great!!! Some off us just had to grin and bear a cold shower so the kids could have the warm ones !!!!!!

Overall this property could be fantastic as in great location and the pottery was fabulous the kids really enjoyed that .... such a shame about the overall cleanliness.... we only stayed for 3 nights so reporting the issues we had could never of been resolved within this time limit.

The owner Barbara was a bice lady the welsh cakes flowers milk & tea were a lovely touch on arrival but personally I would of forgone this welcome to have stayed in a clean house sorry but unless the issues above were rectified we most definitely won?t return

Incredible place, friendly welcome and the kids loved the on site Piggery Pottery. Spacious, all bedrooms had on-suit bathrooms, highly recpmended

Upon arriving things looked fantastic but once we settled in we noticed a few issues.

Living room

1. The setters in the lounge were so flat that the owner has stuffed thick mad boards underneath which makes the setters ridiculously uncomfortable.

2. The dirt under the setters was disgusting clearly never been moved.

3. The sky did not work and no instructions left.

4. There is a water stain in the living room next to the sky light i noticed this was reported in 2013 but has still not been resolved.

Downstairs bedrooms

1. The bedding was so filthy we had to strip the beds on the first night.

2. The amount of dirt on the floors and under draws was disgusting.

3. The bathroom in the downstairs double was so badly moulded on the ceiling above the shower i dont know how the ceiling is still up.

Bedrooms upstairs

1. The bathroom in the bedroom above the living room area are full of extreme mould.

2. The large bedroom the ensuite was filthy.

3. The two sofa beds were at breaking point and one actually collapsed.

4. The cot upstairs is unfit for any child out of the 11 women that went we are 10 are parents and would never put our children in it.

Kitchen

1. Cupboards are literally falling off their hinges

2. Fridges were filthy

3. Draws were falling off their runners.

4. Glassware chipped excessively

From pictures and past reviews you would think this house was rectified all looks well on the outside. Unfortunately we will not be returning and will be asking for our money back. We will also be reporting the disgusting and hazardous conditions of this house.

Spacious accommodation, generally furnished to a high standard, and boasting an extremely well equipped (huge) kitchen. Some very minor issues e.g. some missing remotes for bedroom TVs, slightly tired bedding, but picking holes really. Have rarely stayed in such a beautiful rental. Beds are memory foam and extremely comfortable, some traffic noise on weekday mornings but you quickly acclimatise. Great location, and only a couple of minutes walk to the pub! Piggery pottery next door is a delightful bonus on rainy days, and the owner has been very helpful, acc

I would recommend the property for large parties and families of mixed ages and abilities . Its very spacious and all rooms having an ensuite is a real bonus. The large dinning table was great for meal times too. The location is an excellent base for exploring using your own transport. Barbara was very hospitable and was there only when needed.

I stayed in this beautiful house for 3 nights with 10 of my friends! The house was perfect for what we wanted. It is a perfect size, the rooms were very nice, and the overall experience was very good. The pottery place was very fun and cheap too! I would highly recommend this to anyone from families to a group of friends. Very very good weekend!
