Reviews frequently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, with fresh-smelling towels and bed linens, and an overall clean and well-maintained environment.
The property's remote location offers tranquillity, spectacular views, and proximity to nature, making it a hit with guests seeking a peaceful getaway. However, the access via a long farm track may not suit everyone.
The accommodation is described as cosy and comfortable, with a very comfortable bed. Some guests mentioned noise from other guests, which slightly impacted the comfort level.
Facilities like the hot tub are highly appreciated, but some guests felt the kitchen was not fully equipped for cooking, and the hot tub's location required proper footwear to access.
While guests are pleased with the hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We had a wonderful few days at Graig Las. The owners are so welcoming and helpful, the cottage itself was clean, cosy and spacious enough for a family four. The views are amazingâ¦we will definitely be back.

Excellent location for snowdonia area and has some beautiful local waterfalls nearby 20-30mins by car. It's off the beaten track so be prepared for a bumpy ride up to las craig(it's on a mountain after all)but worth it.stunning views from cottage across the valley... perfect for morning coffee. Has out door hot tub,nice perfect way to relax after a day out...excellent lovely friendly owners nearby,will show you around everything. But then do not interfere in anyway,unless you ask them to.

Greeted shortly after arrival by Greg, who was more than happy to show us around the property properly and explain the details of hot tub and how to work it without causing havoc or damage. Prior to the stay we requested some additional decorations in the bedrooms, which exceeded our expectations by far! The cottage is located in a lovely location, very tucked away so no road noises etc which of course was a bonus. The hot tub was perfect, lovely after a day out exploring. Overall it is a very home away from home experience, and no complaints were needed about our stay. The lovely owners Greg and Marie were always on hand if we had any issues or queries, and even gave a helping hand upon leaving when issues arose. Will definitely be back in February for a little break away again!
