Guests say

Guests consistently praise the Old Snowdon Ranger Station for its immaculate condition, superb location at the foot of Snowdon, and cosy comfort. The property is well-equipped, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The owner's warm welcome and thoughtful touches, such as a welcome gift, are frequently mentioned, enhancing the stay.

Reviewers frequently describe the cottage as immaculate, indicating exceptional cleanliness. The property's upkeep appears to be of a high standard, contributing to guests' positive experiences.

The location is universally acclaimed for its tranquillity, proximity to Snowdon, and beautiful views. It is ideal for walkers and those seeking a peaceful retreat, with easy access to local attractions.

The cottage is consistently referred to as cosy and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and snug warmth. One mention of a soft bed indicates a slight variance in personal comfort preferences.

Facilities are highly regarded, with the property being well-equipped for guests' needs. The presence of a garden, parking, and outdoor seating adds to the appeal. A lack of an inventory list prior to arrival is a minor point raised.

The owner's thoughtfulness is highlighted through mentions of welcome gifts and refreshments. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Mr Knight

    A great little place to stay, especially for a walker. Well positioned as a centre to explore from, particularly as it is away from the busier parts of the national park.

  • Mr Scott

    We loved were this cottage was and the owner was helfiul and very kind. We had to leave early fo a family emergency.

  • Mrs Fagan

    A very nice cottage to stay in for train lovers. Beautiful surroundings but don't be surprised if Snowdon stays hidden most of the time. Very quiet apart from when the train goes past so if you are looking for peaceful this is the place to go. The welcome tea and cake was also a lovely surprise and went down very well after the journey.
