    Felt very comfortable and homely. Wood burner was lovely. Kitchen well stocked, appliances and equipment. Plenty of seating. Bathroom was small, but everything you needed. Grateful for the off street parking, as roads narrow.

    There's nothing that would stop me staying at Haulfryn again, it's really great. Only having one bathroom was a bit inconvenient when staying with a couple of friends but far from a problem really.

    Haulfryn is in the elevated part of Bethesda, meaning it's a bit away from the main road and has absolutely stunning views of the mountains of Eryri. Off road parking is a great bonus at Haulfryn as there's lots of on-street parking in the area, I can't believe how quiet the house was, it's great for folk wanting some peace and quiet after a day exploring north Wales. A well equipped kitchen for cooking, and Deliveroo available when you don't want to cook. Would definitely stay again when I'm next in the area.

    Beautiful well kept cottage only 15 minutes from city center Bangor.

    • Stayed 6 nights

    There was nothing we didn't like, but here is some feedback. We had 6 people in our group.... and only one bathroom, and it was on the second floor. We made it work, but it took some coordination when getting ready in the mornings. There are slate steps between the parking area and the back door. When the slate gets wet, it can get VERY slippery. there is a alternate way to get around to the door though. The street the cottage is on is a hill. We didn't have any problems in our car climbing the hill, but in the winter, if there is ice or snow, it could be difficult to navigate.

    The cottage is a beautiful, cozy little home. Everything was clean and in good working order. The view from the garden of the mountains was beautiful. Very thankful for the off street parking. The detail in the manual left by the home owner on the history of the home and permits/info on all major appliances was a comfort to know that they take pride in keeping things working and up to code. We had enough space for the 6 of us without feeling like we were on top of each other.

    With stunning views and easy access to all the nearby sights, this cottage is the perfect stay for any groups/family. Travelled with my parents in their late 60s and they loved how comfortable the cottage was and the kind hospitality of welsh cakes, bara brith, milk and tea/coffee prepared for us. Will definitely return someday. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

    it’s an older property, so some creaky floor boards and uneven floor. Lots of steps outside, some loose paving stones, so not ideal with anyone with mobility restrictions, and could be a nasty fall if you lose land on a paving stone wrong or lose your balance. However we had no issues and found the property had character and was quirky.

    great location, off street parting for 2 easily plus a 3rd if needed (but would block other 2 in), amazing views, very clean with everything you need, but the best bit was the cake, cookies, chocolate and a bottle of wine! Nice touch, thank you.

    Not many places to eat outside if you don't want to cook after a busy day of exploring surroundings & very limited takeaway options. Mattress was on a harder side ( but that's personal preferences and didn't really impact our stay). My partner struggled with it a bit more, but still would be happy to return.

    Lovely peaceful location with stunning views, bus stop nearby as well as the local shops. Fully equipped kitchen and everything you can possibly need is provided. Lovely welcoming gift of a bottle of wine and Welsh cake was a nice touch 👌 it was like coming to a home away from home;) Fast wi-fi, central heating and instantly hot water was great. Will be happy to come back but next time definitely by the car..

    No dislikes! Navigating the tv/dvd/cable might b problematic for some but I’m nit-picking & we sussed it in the end!

    Comfortable and a brilliant base for lots of excellent walks (including one from the House to Bangor & back) Off-road parking a plus.

    The whole cottage is very dated. It had a strange smell, it was not cleaned properly. The kitchen towels were stinking , the kitchen drawers, cupboard underneath the sink- all had a bad odour. The beds were extremely small to sleep for 2 adults and the spring in the bed made disturbing noise when changing positions . The towels provided were very old and there were no toiletries in bathroom. There were old 1/4 th filled bottles of shower gel left, which appeared to be left by previous customers.

    I liked the location of the property, as it was close to zip world and other tourist spots.

    Some areas not so clean such as cobwebs, hairs in bathroom, food stains in cupboards and food left from previous occupants. Bunk beds were quite rickety and so wouldn’t want to put any one of any weight on the top! Beds uncomfortable and noisy when rolling over.

    Fabulous location and very spacious. We came as a family of 6. Lovely touch with the wine and cakes
