2 Bedroom Family Cottage Dog Friendly Edern North Wales

The cottage was clean, comfortable, cosy and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, and the garden is really pleasant and peaceful. We also found communication with the owner was exceptional - any questions we had were answered very quickly.

The property was as described and in a good location. It was clean and the hosts had left very comprehensive guides to the house, the local area, walks (although a bit optimistic on timings!), amenities, pubs/restaurants, etc. The walk to the beach is easier down the road than across the fields (for those of a more advanced age) but well worth it. Dog friendly beach was great for the hound, he had lots of fun with other dogs there. The Ship (a couple of minutes down the road) was very friendly and with good food. The Caffi by the NT car park (free if you're a member) does great sausage sandwiches for breakfast!

The garden is not 100% secure wrt dogs; ours got through the hedge quite easily to go and visit the neighbours so we couldn't leave him alone in the garden. A minor point but worth knowing if you've got dogs with you.

Cosy, quiet, perfectly decorated for Christmas. Lovely locals in the area, perfect for dog walkers. peaceful, calm. Lovely views out the back, and street view was very quiet/set back. Fron was kept toasty with timed heating and an adjustable thermostat, but you could override the timer on the boiler for more rapid heating if needed. For reference, you can find Fron opposite number 3 Lon Lan (easier to find) as sat nav only takes you to the street and we all ended up at the farm. It was harder in the dark so if checking in at 4 (winter time) this should make it easier. The bed was massive and really comfortable, with lovely chunky duvets! Tv in the bedroom but we didn’t use. Open log fire - this was such a treat for us and great for coming back to warm up after a cold walk in the area! You can buy logs and kindling at the essar garage down the road or slightly further along is the calor DIY shop. It is an open fire not a log burner but it has a fire guard for spitting. Garden - long pretty garden with a summer house, mostly secure but there’s a section at the back by the summer house that I didn’t trust my dog not to get through! If this could be secured then the four legged friends could have more of an unsupervised wander/sniff :) Kitchen - I used this a lot in the 4 days and cooked Christmas dinner. It had everything I needed and everything worked great - though the hot water was a little temperamental even with the hot water boost on the boiler - used the kettle for boiled water a few times but no big deal :) Shower was really good and a lovely big bathroom! The view from the bathroom and landing windows was really pretty overlooking the fields! There is a stair gate on the stairs and padding for anyone fall to stop hitting their heads FYI- ceilings and lights are low -this didn’t affect me as I’m short but brother and bf both knocked their heads on the ceiling lights host - informative, flexible, helpful :) thank you!

Securing the garden at the back by summer house would be brilliant - there isn’t really anyway of stopping them wandering down the back when letting them out in the day or before bed, so all outdoor dog access has to be supervised currently. Or perhaps blocking the archway with something as a temporary measure :)

Garden and the bathroom

Problem getting the hot water boiler to work. Doggy smell in the kitchen and lounge. Leaking kitchen radiator. Dog poo in the garden. Only One T bag. Old lumpy sugar in the bottom of the jar. Half bottles cooking oil left. The house itself did not smell fresh such as air freshners, disinfectant. Parking very awkward.
