Haulfryn is a well-regarded cottage in North Wales, praised for its stunning views, spaciousness, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, comfortable beds, and the owner's hospitality, including treats on arrival. The location is ideal for exploring Snowdonia, though the steep access road may challenge some drivers. The single bathroom can be a drawback for larger groups.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with only one mention of it not being properly clean. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to attractions and stunning views. However, the steep hill access and parking difficulties slightly affect the score.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, especially the beds, but the suitability of the bunk beds for adults and the single bathroom for larger groups slightly reduce the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. However, the need for additional bathrooms and minor maintenance issues, such as a stuck door, are noted.
While guests have mentioned receiving cakes and treats upon arrival, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across all reviews, it cannot be guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard practice for every stay.
A delightful semi-detached cottage situated in an elevated position above the old mining village of Bethesda, bordering the Snowdonia National Park. At the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain range, in magnificent North Wales, this splendid cottage has been lovingly restored to provide a warm and welcoming environment in which to holiday. Haulfryn, (Welsh for sun hill), provides the perfect accommodation for a family or a group of friends looking to explore all that this beautiful region has to offer. Step inside into the spacious dining area and walk through into the bright and airy sitting room, offering comfy furniture and a warming woodburning stove set in a slate-and-stone surround, ideal for relaxing after a day adventuring along the North Wales coastline. The modern fitted kitchen benefits from a utility area with washer/dryer and Belfast sink, ideal for storing wellies and walking boots alike. Upstairs, the three bedrooms have been lovingly furnished with both comfort and convenience in mind: theres a luxurious king-size double with plug sockets incorporating USB ports, a double and a set of adult bunks, along with a stylish family bathroom. To the side of the property, theres off road parking for three cars, plenty of room for all the family, and to the front there is a cheery porch where you can enjoy the morning sunshine with a cup of coffee whilst you admire the dramatic views across the valley to the former Bethesda slate quarries. Venture outside to the rear of the property and youll find nine steps leading to a private enclosed patio. This spot is a real sun trap where you can make the most of the afternoon sun with a good book and a cup of tea. Just a ten minute walk will take you into the village of Bethesda where youll find a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants spread along the bustling high street. Closer to home, the Douglas Arms, an award-winning CAMRA listed pub, serves a fine selection of real ales and has a delightful beer garden with views of the mountain range beyond. For the adrenaline junkies amongst your party, across the valley theres Zip World, home to Europes longest 500ft-high zip line and the stunning coastline of North Wales and Anglesey is only twenty minutes away by car. With something for everyone, this welcoming cottage is the perfect base from which to indulge in a relaxing and truly memorable holiday.
Bethesda is a small village settled beside the River Ogwen in North Wales. Situated on the A5 between Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park, Bethesda was once a busy slate quarrying town and nowadays offers a good selection of shops and other amenities, in particular a large number of chapels and pubs.

Carpets filthy and old, sofa has lost its spring. You sit on it and basically sit on the floor. Fridge smelt and was dirty . Oven was dirty. Kitchen bin disgusting Had to buy cleaning products to allow us to use oven. Bedrooms had cobwebs and spiders. Thick black cobwebs hanging from bottom radiator. Only room ok was the bathroom, although when we arrived the floor was soaking wet as the skylight had been left open and it had been raining all day! Overall very disappointed with our stay. Location was ideal for using as a base to dorms most of time out.

The weather can be a bit damp but the views are wonderful. Good access to Zip World and snowdonia region.
