Tirionfa is a well-received holiday cottage in North Wales, praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, well-equipped facilities, and the thoughtful touches from the owner, such as homemade scones and Welsh cakes. Its location is ideal for exploring Snowdonia and the West Wales coastline, with many guests planning return visits.
The cottage is consistently described as spotless and very clean, with multiple reviews highlighting the high standard of cleanliness. This suggests meticulous attention to detail in preparing the property for guests.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and convenience for exploring Snowdonia and nearby attractions. The proximity to a busy road is noted by a few, but does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the cottage cosy and well-appointed. However, there are a few remarks about the beds being less comfortable, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Some guests mention limited TV channels and a desire for updates, which suggests room for improvement.
While many guests mention the thoughtful gestures of the owner, such as welcome treats and flowers, there is not enough information to guarantee these are a consistent offering for all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, these gifts cannot be expected by future guests.

They're was a lot going on though that I think people should know. 1. I'm sick and tired of properties claiming to be dog friendly when they are actually barely dog tolerant. To the extent where at this property we have to take the dog off the property if he needed defecate, that's not dog friendly. For that reason of made our stay more negative. 2. The garden is NOT enclosed. This is, sadly, a blatant lie. For the most part people look for enclosed gardens because they either had small children or dogs. This garden has multiple places where both could get out and with a busy a road right in the other side of the garden (another thing you aren't told about!). They're are places where the metal mesh has been pushed away, are the side of the garden near the driveway there is a huge hole going into the brambles onto the other side that a child could literally just walk through, no need to even crawl really. Lastly, the driveway itself has a foot-ish high slate barrier (it's not a wall) that has maybe a meter and a half drop into the brambles on the other side - neither a small child nor a dog has the wherewithal to understand that it's unsafe. And once they're through the brambles, it's a gentle slope to that busy a road. It's not safe. As such, every time we had the dog in the garden (to urinate only, of course, because he wasn't allowed to do anything else) it was on lead constantly - which was not very fun for him. 3. When we arrived, the first thing we wanted was a nice cup of tea after a long drive. Unfortunately, when we got there we found over half of the dishes, crockery, pots, pans and cutlery were very dirty. We had to wash so much of it before use. I appreciate this was down to the guests before us but cleanliness should have been checked. 4. The property has mould all over. Ceilings, room corners, almost every window. The shower unit has mould in the controls and shower head. The vent in the bathroom is covered. The master bedroom has so much covering the walls in the corners. It's not acceptable. 5. The shower unit needs to be upgraded. It has terrible pressure, it's dirty and it's just very dated. 6. Master bed could do with being bigger, you have the space to have a larger and more comfortable bed. We didn't use the other beds but tested the mattresses and they felt cheap. 7. When you leave they all ask bedding to be removed, happy to do this. But it meant we saw the mattress protectors and mattresses, some of which are pretty stained. As a guest, I feel it's not something we should be seeing. 8. Towels felt very worn and old. 9. There was a very musty smell throughout, but especially in the dining room. We ended up buying Febreze and staying every day to help disparate it. 10. The sofas are uncomfortable, very low down and need updating. Some pros, the dishwasher was very good (makes all the first dishes even more confusing). Heating worked incredibly well. Good fridge/freezer space. Oven and stove worked well. Decent WiFi. The one time we needed to contact the owner because the water went (due to Welsh water and not the owner/property) their daughter was very communicative and helpful. The property is in a great location with a lot to do around within easy driving distance.
