Guests say
Glan Y Don in Y Felinheli is highly praised for its cleanliness, superb location on the Menai Straits, and comfortable setup. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and eateries, with many returning for multiple stays. The property is well-equipped, though minor suggestions for improvements are noted.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition and well-maintained appearance. Only one mention of a high chair's straps being unclean slightly affects the score.
The location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with its proximity to the seafront, local pubs, and attractions in North Wales. The scenic views and central position for exploring the area contribute to a near-perfect score.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the property spacious and the beds comfortable. Some minor feedback on heating and window operation suggests slight room for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised for being modern and well-equipped. However, some guests noted the lack of hand soap and basic cleaning essentials, and one mentioned the need for better outdoor seating, which slightly lowers the score.
While guests express overall satisfaction, there is insufficient information regarding the provision of gifts or special touches by the owners to accurately score thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

The house was very clean and comfortable with good facilities. The kitchen is very modern, all appliances were easy to use and the beds were really comfy. Lovely shower too! Hooks on the back of bedroom and bathroom doors would be useful for wet towels etc. The only other thing we missed was a tumble dryer or heated airer for drying clothes/coats/shoes after rainy days. Would definitely recommend staying here for location and facilities.

The cottage is stylish and comfortable with all the facilities you need for a perfect stay. Within easy reach of Caernarfon, Snowdonia and Anglesey, Portmeirion is just over 20 miles away - so there is plenty to do whatever the weather. We hope to come again soon. Diolch yn fawr am bopeth unwaith eto, Gwawr ac Osian.

It is in an ideal location for getting around north wales. We were out and about everyday. We were lucky enough to have good weather most the week so that helped. We got to see the local charity raft race which was brilliant! The property was ideal for the three of us. It had great storage which I usually find an issue. It was decorated well throughout, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. If I had to be picky Iâd say parking was a pain as it was always busy (and there was usually a van blocking the view) . We couldnât sit out in the back as the chairs and table werenât in the best condition , the front windows were really difficult to open and the property was a little on the cold side. But those are just minor things that can be rectified .
