Guests say

Glan William is a highly praised cottage in North Wales, celebrated for its perfect location, cleanliness, and well-equipped nature. Guests have enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, cosy interiors, and thoughtful touches from the owners. The property is a popular choice for those looking to explore Snowdonia, with many planning return visits.

The cottage is consistently described as immaculately clean, with only one mention of minor dust and cobwebs. Overall, the high standard of cleanliness is evident and appreciated by guests.

The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with its proximity to walking trails, a train station, and a pub. The peaceful village setting and easy access to Snowdonia contribute to its high rating, despite the temporary closure of the local pub.

Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable bed. However, one review noted an uncomfortable double bed, slightly lowering the score.

Facilities are generally praised for being contemporary and well-maintained. The well-equipped nature and stylish furnishings are appreciated, though there is a suggestion for handrails on the stairs and a single complaint about the bed's comfort.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of a welcome bundle and kitchen essentials. While gifts are appreciated, they are a personal touch and not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Paul

    Great location for exploring Snowdonia. The outside space was a nice surprise. Not sure about the 'extra' food in the cupboards, particularly the half opened things and the cottage was a little dusty with a few cobwebs which maybe due to the hard floors throughout, other than that would certainly recommend to others.

  • Furzana

    It has been refurbished to a high standard and is very clean, modern and comfortable. It is located in a serene and picturesque village. We had a lovely time and the host was generous in making essentials (and some non essential) items available. The pictures are accurate and depict the layout and furnishings available.

  • Michelle

    Quiet village, friendly locals & lovely walks. The cottage is of a high standard & has everything you need for a self catering holiday.
