Y Bwthyn, Buarth, Deiniolen, Llanberis, Gwynedd, LL55 3NA

I nearly didn?t book this cottage because of the bad review that had been left. We stayed for a week in February with our dog. On arrival I wasn?t sure what to expect, but the cottage was immaculate. Sometimes with ?dog friendly? cottages, they smell of dogs but this was not the case. It had a wood burner which was made up ready to light, milk in the fridge and a cake. We had some fantastic weather and twice had lunch outside at the table with views to the sea in the distance and the mountains. The walks from the house are excellent. You are almost on the Slate Trail. There are virtually no people or cars about because of the houses position. We walked to the lake before breakfast each morning and saw no one. For us this is paradise. The sunsets from the cottage were sensational, The owners home is up the lane but does not intrude into your privacy and you feel totally isolated, only seeing them once the whole week. There are 2 toilets a bathroom,a bedroom and an open plan kitchen with a couch that turns into another bed. After a hard days walking we would light the wood burner, go up to the brilliant little loft room with a bottle of wine and talk rubbish in the warm glow. This was our heaven. We were so pleased we didn?t believe the previous review. I have just read it again and I think they just wanted their money back and seem fixated with pubic hair. This was our home for one of the best holidays we have ever had.

Booked this property for an engagement holiday for myself and partner. We haven't been on holiday in well over a year due to work commitments.

We searched for an isolated, dog friendly property. This came up.

On arrival,it was obvious that the area was rural,but the property wasn't isolated. There was a property next door (but detached). It is in fact the owners who live next door.

The property itself is stunning, smart finish and lovely views.

However, the property was clearly not cleaned prior to our arrival.

We found pubic hairs scattered around the toilet, bath and basin. There was also faeces in the toilet pan, but no cleaning products in the property.

On closer inspection, the mattress protector was covered in pubic hair. Our feet were left black after walking bare foot.

The property had clearly not been cleaned for sometime as there was deep seeded dirt everywhere. The property folder mentions leaving the property as you find it. This can only let me assume that the owners are relying on guests to clean after themselves.

We left on the second morning. I wanted to leave on the first day after our outing to llanberris, but ice and bad weather meant we had to stay the second night.

I have complained to sykes and since received a full refund. I'm sure the property cleaner would have been informed, and this problem rectified for future guests. I dont like calling people out, but unfortunately

this completely ruined our holiday, and i wouldn't anyone else to suffer the same fate.

My wife and I stayed in this cottage for a week in June 2015 with our 2 dogs.

This idyllic, stone-built, detached cottage is situated in an elevated position on the slopes of Elidir Fach Mountain with views across the countryside to Anglesey and Snowdonia. Fully converted from an 1850s shippon, this delightful Llanberis cottage offers spacious ground floor accommodation with a king-size bedroom with distant sea views, a large open plan living area with a sofa bed, a galleried ceiling with original oak beams, a crog loft where you can sit and read, and a warm

Myself and wife with our two dogs had the most relaxing time .Made to feel very welcome by owners the holiday home had everything we needed .Lots to see and do the views are amazing situated in a perfect spot. We enjoyed our stay that much we have booked again role on May,Our son and his girlfriend are joining us too.

We had a little difficulty finding it, but that was our fault as we didn't see the sign on the gate. It is a wonderful place slap bang in the middle of the countryside as far away from anything that you could wish for if that is what you want. We found Y Bwthyn to be well appointed and very comfortable and it was within easy reach of many good walks including the lake Ogwen area
