  The blueBells Cottage Oct 2022 A one bedroom chalet/lodge, in pleasant woodland surroundings, overlooking the Conwy valley.

  A step up from the caravan, in most areas, except the kitchen, which although adequate, was small. Worktop space lacking. All the facilities that you could want are there, except for a washing machine. The view from the main window was very good. The cottage is up a long narrow rough drive. A word of warning to anyone trying to find the cottage. The post code on a sat nav or phone will only get you near the main area on the main road. If coming from the North, then you have to go past the drive entrance, do a U-turn, then cut across the road to the start of the drive. then up the single track. It is signposted and has reflextive triangles at the entrance. The cottage is realtively small, but has all that you need. The kitchen is the smallest room, though useable. A decent shower in the bathroom, though more shelves would help. A reasonable amount of storage. Heating in the living room is provided by an electric fire. A bit noisy, but it quickly heats up the room. The bedroom does not have a heater, but there is an electric blanket. Still, adequate on a cold October night. A deck and lounger are provided outside. A lot of handy little stickers are provided by the owners, giving guidance to to such things as switch locations. The cottage was a good base for visiting the North of Wales area. Trains and buses possbile, but the times are infrequent, so driving is a more likely option. Note: the footbridge at Dolgarrog is closed, preventing a walking option to the other side of the valley. The cottage felt clean and I had a pleasant stay.

  We had a wonderful mini break.

  Hosts were great and on hand if we needed them. The pod was super clean and had everything we needed for a short break. The milk, bubbly and tea and coffee upon arrival was a lovely touch and very welcomed. Surroundings were very peaceful and the guide book of things to do and local information was a great help. We had no issues with flys, but the host had supplied fly traps just incase. We had a super time and plan to return again. The only thing which we would of liked is a tiny sofa instead of the tub chairs or to lower the wooden base at the end of the bed so you can snuggle up to watch the tv when the weather is not at its best! But thats a small thing which we feel would improve the lodge, and it wouldnt stop us from returning. Great relaxing stay.

  Our stay within the Embden pod was just perfect!

  Such a peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The pod its self was beautiful and like home from home with all the fixtures and fittings. The bed was so comfortable. There isn't anything they haven't thought of supplying down to gowns and barbecue equipment. The hot tub was a dream and we couldn't believe how well it holds its heat after the fire went out. We took a walk to the river which was so idyllic and peaceful. Sarah was very helpful with the messages she sent prior to our trip with all the instructions we needed. All in all we had an amazing weekend and would definitely like to return some time soon.

  Chateau Petit is Clean, Comfortable and Very Compact.

  We were guided there by Lynda due to the rural vageries of sat nav which left us stranded up a mountain! Lynda was a welcoming hostess (thank you Lynda) and was available for help and advice during our stay. A lot of space for our dog and ourselves outside although in late September we did not make much use of this. Dogs being dogs, ours took no notice of the sign that dogs were not allowed in the bedroom, the lack of a door between bedroom and living room being an open opportunity for unwelcome pooch incursions and lack of sleep! Overall satisfied with our stay though less rain would have helped make it better!

  Really peaceful stay with lovely and really friendly hosts.

  Can see they care as they go the extra mile and also with little extras added to the cabin (I was greeted by Jaffa cakes!). Lynda was very helpful and also gave me a couple of places to walk my dog. Lots of places you can drive to and walk around and some beautiful villages and gorgeous countryside. The only thing I found was the chairs to be a bit hard/uncomfortable especially when coming back from a long walk. Apart from that it’s a beautiful cabin with good sized garden. Would highly recommend. Thank you for letting me and Pippa stay there :)
