Guests say

Haulfryn in Dolwyddelan is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and comfortable beds. The location is ideal for walking and exploring Snowdonia. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, modern kitchen, and the inclusion of an EV charger. Suggestions for improvements include adding kitchen equipment and a microwave, and addressing minor maintenance issues.

Guests consistently note the cottage's spotless condition. One mention of dog waste left by previous occupants slightly impacts the score.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local amenities and walking activities in Snowdonia.

The comfort of the beds and the warmth of the cottage are commended. However, some guests noted preferences for firmer mattresses and additional curtains for light control.

While the modern kitchen and showers are appreciated, guests suggest enhancements such as a microwave, additional kitchenware, and more towels. Some maintenance issues like a shower filter needing replacement are also mentioned.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so a score cannot be provided.

About this property

Haulfryn is an elevated, semi-detached cottage resting in Dolwyddelan, Conwy, boasting character features and beautiful views of the Lledr river, valley and surrounding hillsides. Ideal for a family or group of friends sharing, this cottage is within easy reach of local amenities and right in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, making it an outdoor enthusiasts' haven. Make your way inside and into the living/dining room where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV or use fibre broadband after catching up over dinner at the table for six. From here, the kitchen, naturally bright with a skylight, has all you need for a relaxed, self-catering stay, including a handy dishwasher. Upstairs, take your pick from the double bedrooms, both with fireplaces and extensive views, or head up to the second floor to a characterful twin with exposed beams and an en-suite shower room. Haulfryn has a 7kw Zappi EV charger, including the charging cable and type 2 connector. Treat your loved ones to a meal out at the local Elen’s Castle Hotel and Restaurant, or stock up on the essentials at the local shop to rustle dinner up at home. A short drive will take you to Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog, known for their stunning scenery and abundance of outdoor activities. There Zip World sites are close by – Zip World Llechwedd (Blaenau Ffestiniog), Forest (Betws-y-Coed), Velocity 2 (Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda), while Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow Falls Waterfall is also well worth a visit. Further afield, you can find Llanberis Lake Railway and the impressive Snowdon, if you fancy a challenge! Haulfryn is a lovely base for a holiday to Wales you will remember.

Dolwyddelan, in the Lledr Valley at the foot of Moel Siabod in Snowdonia National Park and 6 miles from Betws-y-Coed, is a great base for exploring this wonderful mountain region. On the village's outskirts is the 13th-century Dolwyddelan Castle, whose battlements offer spectacular views. The railway line along the valley makes it easy to combine a walk with a train ride. The Afon Lledr offers sea trout and salmon fishing, and Betws-y-Coed's 9-hole course welcomes visitors. Dolwyddelan has a general shopand two pubs offering food, and Blaenau Ffestiniog, and Llanrwst are also within easy reach.

    Thanks for having us!

  • Darren

    The kitchen could do with a microwave, more pans, kitchen utensils and some storage space for food. (quite a few comments about the lack of these) The back garden was over grown so our dog was unable to use it

  • Kathryn

    Overall the property was as listed. I do think we needed a couple of extra pans, the bed in the second bedroom was a little squeaky and the settee in the lounge was a little hairy from previous four legged guests. Also two of the patio chairs have seen better days. Non of this would put me off booking again because the good points like location, quaintness, and a really good bathroom far outweighed any negative points. We are hoping to book again soon and would be well assured that we are going to have an excellent stay.
