Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay at Crud y Wennol. We had a warm welcome. It was a well equipped cottage with everything we needed. The proportions of upstairs and downstairs were perfect for the two of us. We hope to return!

Mrs M,

Had a lovely easter weekend break.Ann the owner is lovely.The cottage was lovely and clean and bed was comfy.Would highly recommend.

Mrs R,

Me and my partner loved our stay for 3 nights the cottage was very clean and cosy. The owner was super friendly and already had the heating on ready for our arrival. A bottle of wine and some cake was left for us which I must say went down a treat and was a nice little touch. The views from outside the property are absolutely stunning, we will be returning here in the summer time

Mr B,

The cottage is ideal for one or two people. Parking is available outside the front door for one car, but there is space 20m or so away for more cars. The rooms are a good size and the bathroom excellent. I had a dog with me and it's not obvious but to access the enclosed garden requires walking out the front door and around the side so care should be taken as it is a working farm. It is an ideal location for exploring the Clywidian Hills and Snowdonia with Betwys y Coed, Bala and Llangollen not too far distant. The owner was very friendly and helpful and left wine and cake for our arrival which was a nice touch. I would definitely stay there again.

Mr P,

Absolutely beautiful cottage with amazing views of the countryside. The owner is lovely who made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we knew we could contact her if we had any issues. A wonderful stay.

Miss C,

Crud Y Wennol is ideal for 2 people and is cozy, comfortable and well equipped. We will hope to return again soon.

Mr D,

Great cottage, Ann could not help us enough, great time had by all!

Mr H,

Our 4th year in a row staying here, Perfect location, Short drive to town, facilities are everything you need, stunning scenery and the owner is absolutely brilliant, friendly and nothing is too much trouble, view from the cottage garden is amazing if peaceful is what you need We recommend staying here, See you next year.

Mr B,

We had a fantastic week in May 2024. Lovely cottage, fantastic host and plenty of places to see nearby. Thank you Mrs Y Jones

Mr J,

Loved this little cottage near Bala. Just 2 rental cottages on the plot and 2 other tenanted properties across and up from the semi cottages. It was quiet, beautiful little garden (entrance through gate at side of the cottage) with magnificent views. You do need to drive to get anywhere as main road just off the farm is fast moving and has no pavements. Owner manual was useful to find little places worth a visit and owner could not be more kind or accommodating.

Ms T,

Very comfortable and cosy cottage. Well equipped, with everything required. Very clean. A lovely welcome pack on arrival. The owner was very friendly and explained what was required on arrival. I enjoyed a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the stunning surroundings.

Mr E,

Very welcoming host. Perfect location to see everything North Wales has to offer. Beautiful scenery from the garden. Extremely comfortable bed, exceptionally clean throughout. Really well equipped. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay. 11/10

Mrs R,

Had a wonderful time, good location if you enjoy walking or have a dog. Will be returning.

Mr B,

The cottage was lovely for us for the week! It had everything we needed plus a bonus in the extraordinary view!

Miss H,

We had a lovely week. The cottage is well equipped and very clean. The garden was secure for our dog to play in and location was central to everything we wanted to do. the host was very accommodating and very welcoming. The town of Bala is a 10 minute drive away and has all the essentials, co-op, pharmacy, butchers, restaurants and pubs. For a very reasonably priced pint, The Goat is the pub to be. Friendly staff and good service - even the locals love a chat! We had very nice weather all week, but even if you don't there is plenty to see and do. Very nice part of Wales - we will be back.

Mrs H,

Amazing location and a lovely cottage will defo be back

Mr L,

The cottage was perfect, simple as that. Had everything you need for a short or long stay. The owner was more than welcoming and even let us feed the lambs at her farm. Was a very special time we had and i couldnt recommend the place more!

Mr G,

An extremely clean property

Miss R,

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week at the cottage despite the weather. Crud y Wennol has everything a couple & their dog need including an enclosed garden with lovely views. Mrs Jones the owner is a very nice lady who manages to ensure you enjoy your time there without being the slightest bit intrusive- would love to visit again in the future

Mrs B,

Beautifully converted barn. Very clean and cosy with lovely views. The owners were very thoughtful ensuring we had the best stay. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back.

Mr G,
