The cottage was pretty much as described and well equipped but some of the first floor bedrooms are a rather tight for space for luggage and or clothes for a week's stay. If we had had the maximum of 10 in the property it would not really have been big enough. The location was great in a pretty village with a part time pub next door. It is on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and close to Conwy & Anglesey with lots to see and do in the area. ##### Mark T.

If we get a chance we will definitely come back again and highly recommend this for friends or families looking for a nice quiet trip to Northern Wales with beautiful views and walking paths all around you and a cute Pub right next door! ##### Chandrahas B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne B., Lutterworth 30 May 2019 #### Snowden weekend. All 4 couple enjoyed our stay here greatly and will return. Beautiful location and great to have lovely gardens too. Pub at the end was a great addition. Perfect for us to have 4 double bedrooms although the triple bedroom is a little on the snug side! Everything you need for a perfect weekend away. ##### Joanne B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kylie R. 6 Jan 2019 #### Home away from home The advice and guidance given to us by Annette before hand was incredibly useful. We explored places we would never have found without this. Aber Falls, the local walks through fields, Conwy Castle, and climbed Snowdon on the miners' track. Such an incredible week - we have truly started the year in the very best way. ##### Kylie R. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzie W. 26 Jun 2018 #### Perfect for a family get together The house was set in a lovely rural village with wrap around gardens that both dogs absolutely loved! It was tastefully furnished and very clean with a generous yummy welcome pack. Annette and Peter were extremely helpful and clearly love being hosts. ##### Suzie W.

Absolutely wonderful for family gatherings with 4 ensuite doubles and a double sofa bed. Everything you could want is there including a kennel for dogs - which we didn’t have but if we had then it was there. A lovely welcome from Annette with flowers, wine and a few basic food essentials. ##### Anne G.

The four bedrooms upstairs are doubles with small en-suite. The rear garden is lovely and over the dry stone wall there are sheep in the field, which the kids loved. The house sits in a lovely position and is very accessible. There's no traffic because the road stops about 1.5 miles further on. The pub across the lane is quite, but provides good food and there are several other very good eating establishments within 10-15 minutes. There is also an excellent wine shop in the town down the road, where the local eateries buy their wines from. This is a very safe area and from here there are many interesting places to visit; we didn't see more than 10% of what is available this time. If you like to walk or just take a stroll then, this is about the best there is. I think the whole package is a bit of gem and certainly one of the nicest environments we have holidayed in for some time. ##### david k.

Everything we needed and more! The house is set in a nice location, with great views all around. The owners have supplied everything you will ever need. I was very impressed with thier attention to detail. The garden games for the kids, plus family board games, dvds and books. Great information given in the pack about the area and attractions. The fact each room has its own ensuite bathroom is also a big postive as you dont have to fight for a shower in the morning. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit north wales. ##### Chris M.

The house was the perfect location for our family get together. It had all the amenities and more. Annette greeted us upon our arrival, and provided fresh flowers, snacks and all the information we needed to make our stay complete. We loved the daily hikes through the Snowdonia national park (written up by the locals), the Conwy town/castle tour, Colwyn Bay beach area, and the Ty Gwyn pub (just around the corner). There was nothing more to be wanted, except more time. We will definitely return for future vacations!! ##### Becky C.

The house is absolutely stunning inside and out. Everything you need for a self catering stay has been carefully thought of and it truly is a home away from home but on a luxurious level. Every room is beautiful decorated to a high standard and the levels of comfort are superb! Our children loved the triple bunk room and the power shower in the main four poster bed room. The kitchen is a delight and if we'd of stayed longer it would of been wonderful to host a feast in. It did however home s wonderful breakfast and a very delicious Chinese banquet (details provide by the wonderful Annette and Peter). Outside the house is beautiful, we pretty much spent all our time sat out there enjoying the scenery while our children enjoyed the surroundings and lovely toys provided. The house stands in a lovely little village and the local pub is literally at the end of the drive way. Such a quaint little place and very welcoming. Our children particularly loved playing in the stream in the beer garden across the road. Y Gorlan is a perfect place to spend some quality family time with some really nice places to visit close by. We will definitely visit here again :) ##### Keeley T.
