On stripping of the beds as requested by the cleaning company notes left in the chalet, my daughter was quite upset to discover a dodgy looking yellow stain on the mattress protector under the bottom sheet and also on the pillows.

Top Cadair Idris Hotel Reviews

Riverside Cottage, Abergwynant (sleeps up to 3) - don't forget your binoculars!

10/10 Excellent

"Cottage was fantastic, clean, tidy and everything you could want. Location was perfect with the river and walks and trails. Any query that I had was answered promptly. All in all I would highly recommend and if I get chance to visit the area again this is where I would want to stay."

Ivy House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and very cosy. The staff were lovely. Nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice. Overall, our stay offered great value for money, fabulous location and every reason to return."

Afallon Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"The room is very well appointed, with everything you need, yet still retaining its lovely period character. Everything is of good quality. There is no breakfast served but there is a good sized fridge for milk etc. and a good selection of snacks, teas and coffees in the drawer. Help carrying my luggage up and down stairs was very much appreciated too! Thank you."

Bijou House Perfect for 2 people, no pets.

10/10 Excellent

"3 story kitchen bottom living room middle bedroom on top just mind your head . It was clean and had every thing you could want and the best place we have stayed in so far over the years . Will be back"

Penclogwynau

10/10 Excellent

"What a fabulous spot views for miles in every direction.the house is comfortable and we had a very happy stay here. this is being very picky we loved our stay but these are the things I would recommend. Cushions for the kitchen chairs they are very hard. Better organisation of the kitchen draws it looks like it is all just thrown in needs dividers. Get more stuff of the work tops very little space to cook in. Downstairs shower is very good but it does not feel clean in there although I am sure someone would have scrubbed it. Having said all that I would definitely go back at a cheaper time of year."

Pandy Farmhouse

10/10 Excellent

"We had just the best time. We negotiated the track several times (thank you Audi Quattro). When we arrived, the house was beautifully clean and tidy. Spacious and pleasantly cool, as it was a very hot day. We walked from the property out onto the hills to photograph the beautiful landscape We absolutely loved the tranquility of the place, which is part of its remoteness. We are thinking about going back! We left a note for Laura."

The Toll House

8/10 Good

"A lovely property in the perfect location for Dogalleu. Lovely welcome, welsh chocolate, shortbread and lemonade. Only slight gripe was the bedsheets felt old and were bobbled."

3 bedroom accommodation in Dolgellau

"Lovely spacious cottage.Home from home. Everything we needed was there.Beautiful views from every angle.Liz checked up on us mid week to make sure everything was ok.Location was fantastic, in the middle of nowhere but less than a few minutes in the car into town.Would highly recommend and will keep it mind when we search for cottages next time"

Waen Fechan

"Beautiful old cottage with an open fire and bathtub. Lovely relaxing stay in a Idilic location up in the mountains with the most amazing views. We were glad that we had a 4x4 to drive up to the property, especially going in December. Good instructions/advice from the owners. Looking forward to going back again."
