Although there were many issues, I want to acknowledge the things I genuinely liked.
The most wonderful feature was the attic bedroom with its skylight windows - listening to the sound of rain at night was truly relaxing. I also appreciated that the fireplace was functional. Even though I had to buy the firewood myself, I’m still glad the fireplace worked and I was able to enjoy it.
My experience with this property started poorly and continued to disappoint.
First, the listing showed a fireplace. I repeatedly asked whether it was functional and whether firewood would be provided. All my messages were ignored. Instead, I received template responses pushing me to continue communication via WhatsApp or SMS, even though my reservation was made through Booking.com. I expect communication to remain on the platform I booked through.
Customer Service spent several days trying to contact property on my behalf, and they did not respond, even at the day of check-in - far too late to be useful.
Upon arrival, there was no firewood (photo), despite the listing photos clearly showing it. Nothing in the description stated that it wouldn’t be provided, so I had to buy it myself.
The Wi-Fi password was practically unreadable. I only figured it out the next day after guessing that the penultimate character was a “5” and not an “S” (photo). If property can’t write a password legibly, it should be typed on a proper card.
Property template messages told guests to take out rubbish, sort recycling, bag laundry, and wash and put away the dishes before departure. Since when is a paying guest expected to act as the janitor? Leaving things tidy is reasonable - doing the cleaner’s job is not.
Finally, the property clearly needs sanitary treatment. I encountered slugs in the kitchen every morning (photo).
Overall stay fell far below basic standards of communication and professionalism. I cannot recommend this property.

Great location
Smelt a bit damp and fusty.

Quiet Location just off high street. Excellent range of Kitchen utensils/facilities. Comfy, clean bedrooms. Plenty of warm water and a good shower. Excellent value for money.
Main room smelt a bit damp/musty and could do with brightening up. The cottage is quite compact. But such shortcomings are reflected in the price.

The location was great. Nice and quiet. Comfy rooms. Plenty of hot water. Not too far from the railway.
The steps were a bit narrow/steep. Instructions for parking areas would have been helpful.

We had a wonderful three-night stay in Llanberis, myself, my husband, 3 children and dog, and couldn’t be happier with the place we stayed at. The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed, a fully equipped kitchen, lots of room for the family, and a very cozy atmosphere.
The location was fantastic, beautiful surroundings near the 2 lakes, with perfect access to the Llanberis Path, one of the most scenic routes up to the summit of Snowdon (18km from the property and back). Shops and charming cafes were just a couple of minutes away, and we enjoyed fresh coffee and delicious pastries every morning.
Everything was just perfect. It was a peaceful and comfortable base for exploring Snowdonia. We’d absolutely love to come back and highly recommend it!

Fantastic location. Llanberis is a wonderful place to stay with kids. On the lake with a lovely playground and so many walks. Right at the bottom of Snowdon.
lovely sunny back yard to sit in.
Super comfortable bed and lovely wood burning stove.
Just a couple of small things. New toilet seat needed and shower head doesn’t fit properly in holder. No brush with the dust pan.

Warm, comfortable, and clean. Nice bedding and big, fluffy towels. Very well equipped kitchen - I was able to cook a full roast dinner on New Years Day (though only one ring of the hob would light). Sky TV, good WiFi and board games for when the weather was poor. Brilliant location - very close to the high street, a car park and walking/hiking areas. Dog friendly with the enclosed yard. Nice touches of coffee, tea and dog treats. The house is so cosy and comfortable and we loved our stay and would book again.
Only a couple of things - there was no toilet roll or hand soap which we hadn't realised so we had to run out and buy some straight away - though as the Spar is only two minutes away we rectified quickly. A new firelighter for the hob is needed as only one ring was sparking. The decking in the back yard was beyond slippy in the cold weather, which was tricky when putting out recycling and bins.

Great location for Llanberis path to Snowdon summit and great location for cafes, shops and restaurants. Also for lake swimming!
Peaceful location the two nights we were there.
Only one toilet for 6 people.
No hand wash in bathroom or kitchen.
8.0 / 10.0
Perfect location with a lovely feel to the place, rooms were mostly very comfortable.
There were a few negatives across the trip, mostly minor and all fixable. The big issue was for the guest staying in the twin room, he’s only 6ft and had to sleep in the fetal position each night because he didn’t fit on the bed, luckily he was ok with this, but it certainly wasn’t great. On one evening we settled down to play board games, only to discover that all of them were missing the majority of the pieces, including the chess set. We ended up buying a cheap game at a charity shop that we’ve left there. Kitchen inventory needs some work, you’ve cookware than some commercial kitchens but only 5 dinner plates for a place that sleeps 6. The fridge is also too small.

Location is incredible and they make very good use of the space available in the house.
Parking is a bit of a lottery and struggled to get anything nearby.

Wonderful house, perfectly located in the centre of Llanberis, a few steps from the high street, the lake and the bus for Pen-y-Pass for a hiking to the summit of Snowdon. The house is very cosy, with a great attention to the details. We particularly appreciated the safety gates for the stairs, the kids cutleries and the fireplace (which we didn't use it though). Getting the keys was easy, so it was talking with the owner. Highly recommended.

This little terrace cottage could be so much more with some TLC, on the surface we liked it all.
The location is amazing. It has all the utensils ect you could need and the oven and hob is great. We made a full roast on New year's Day. Fire is amazing
This little terrace cottage could be so much more with some TLC, it's so cosy and on the surface looks the part but unfortunately all those little finer details are missing and everything is falling apart when it's touched. It needs some proper loving care. The cupboards and upstairs furniture is falling to bits, all the games have no pieces ( just remove them) the sofa has some small tears, the shower pressure was really poor, lots of baby gates that can't be used as no fittings ( again get rid of them)
The back garden was dirty lots of rubbish and the decking wasn't finished big screw sticking out so our puppy couldn't be let out the back.
For the over £500 we paid for a 3 night break I won't be returning which is a shame. It's just packing the finer touches and could be amazing with the right work.

Excellent location. Beds very comfy and bed linen nice and clean. Warm,
House very cold on arrival although warmed up quicklyonce we sorted the heating, crockery and cutlery was dirty, there was no kindling or wood supply for the wood burner. The key lock box for key was very stiff and on leaving we couldn't shut the box properly - just had to put the rubber cover over it.

House was very large with 3 stories and could accommodate 6 people comfortably. Had kitchen facilities as well. It was clean as well.
Biggest problem was probably the lack of shower pressure, which means it takes forever to take a shower (if you don’t have time to take a bath). Some parts of the house need maintenance as well (floor has some cracks, bathroom door is very difficult to open from outside, bedroom door is shaky).

Superb location, very helpful and responsive owner, comfortable beds, well-equipped. We had a problem with getting back into the cottage one day as the lock was sticking and the owner got the maintenance man out to us within 15 mins from contacting him, which we were very impressed with
Cleaning needed to be more thorough in the top floor bedroom. It was not a big deal for us, but we mentioned this to the owner when we left and he told us he had a new cleaner starting that day, so we think he is listening and responding to feedback (cleaning problems had been mentioned in other reviews).
