    This was a perfect location for some research. The quarry cottage was comfortable and cosy. The rooms were well maintained and the cottage well equipped.

    The system for the shower was unknown, were a bit lost at the beginning. Fortunately our hosts have prepared a detailed description, we should have read it upon arrival. :)

    Our hosts were amazing, very helpful, with detailed information and explanations what to see, where to go, what to discover in the surroundings. Brian was very nice, gave a lot of good advice! The house is charming, very clean, in a nice, quiet area, perfect for visiting the region. There’s a parking area next to the house. If I come back in the region, I’ll definitely stay here again, I recommend it!

    provide outside seating .... but we had our own fold away chairs so we used them :)

    Really great communication from arrival to being greeted with the keys and a wealth of local knowledge to make our stay easier. The cottage is located within a 10 min (easy/ pushchair wheelchair friendly ) walk to the Harbour/Beach. Take a picnic there isn't any shops ( but i quite like that). Great for fishing too - straight off the Pier. The cottage itself is beautiful and has everything you need. There is a a local shop within 5 mins walk reasonably priced again having everything you would need for your stay. I have already requested to book and looking forward to staying Oh nearly didn't mention - the neighbours are friendly and lovely too :)

    Fairytale Welsh village stay
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 6 nights

    In one bedroom the bed was too long so the door could only be partially closed. In the other bedroom the noise from the water pipes meant that turning on taps in the kitchen or bathroom could wake up anyone sleeping in that room. Nevertheless these minor inconveniences wouldn't prevent us from booking this cottage again if visiting North Wales.

    Cosy comfortable cottage from 1890 in a fairytale Welsh village. No vehicle traffic at the front or back of the cottage but instead a mountain stream, sheep passing by the front door and a beautiful garden. The idyllic unspoilt village has a village store with long opening hours and a post office. The short walk from the village to the beach is scented by dense wild orchids that grow shoulder high on either side of the path. The owner checked regularly that everything was fine and that we could find our way, giving helpful instructions to find the street and cottage.

    I can't think of anything, I had everything I needed and Brian and Jane were available if I needed to contact them.

    A truly lovely hidden gem in the heart of the Pen Lleyn. A short walk from the harbour and beach, with a lovely brook running through the garden. The cottage was cosy and welcoming with everything you could possibly need for a home from home stay. Brian & Jane have paid a lot of attention to detail and it shows. Warm, welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

    This cottage has a lovely peaceful atmosphere, it felt like home. There wasn't a sound during the nights, on a summer weekend in the centre of the village! All clean and comfortable especially the beds.

    I stayed at the Quarryman's Cottage while working on a TV production in Trefor and couldn't have asked for better hosts. Brian and Jane were very welcoming and arranged to leave the keys in a safe location so that I could check in late at 11pm. The cottage was perfect, it has a lovely homely feel to it and was cleaned to a very high standard. Listening to the river flowing outside while falling asleep was a highlight! The only downside is that I wasn't able to spend much time there due to work, but myself and my partner are looking forward to returning very soon for a holiday in Trefor. Many thanks, Calvin

    This is just to provide information for those that this is really important to due to mobility/health issues - Double bed mattress very soft, singles are firmer. The bedroom mirror is set atop drawers and not wall hung so you do have to bend to dry hair etc. Would love to see an outdoor patio set on my next visit so I can sit outside with a coffee early morning to take in the tranquility and sound of the birds and stream, my bones are a bit too stiff to get up off the doorstep that early in the day 😂

    Beautiful well equipped cottage in a stunning location. The stream running along the bottom of the garden is just beautiful to listen to early morning or in bed at night. I don't think it mentions on the listing there's an iron and board, but there is. Wonderful locals, including the next door neighbour who met us on the lane as we were leaving to give my daughter some chocolate. Easy to reach the beach on foot, turn right out of the back door, to the bottom, turn left and walk until you get to the coach yard just down the street, turn right and follow the path to the pebble beach. If you want sandy just follow the coast just up round the corner to the right. Crabbing gear and some buckets and spades are provided at the cottage, as are several games for the children for when indoors. My little girl loved it here, she was quite sad about leaving but I've promised her we will be back

    If you like coffee, bring your own French press. If you're very wide or have bad legs, the staircase could be an adventure - it's steeper than those in newer houses (although it didn't bother us).

    The helpfulness of the property owner was much appreciated. After I'd met a flight at Manchester Airport, the journey to Trefor was complicated by closure of the M56 (and some less than helpful diversion signs) then closure of the A55 (upside-down HGV). The property owner kept in touch by text and nonetheless met us, late at night, at the village crossroads to show us to the property and hand over keys. The property has a wealth of OS maps of various scales and much useful information about local amenities and places to eat. The stream to the front of the house (the two sides of the 'street' face each other across front paths, gardens and the stream, not a road) was music to fall to sleep by. Although there's no dedicated parking spot, we never had a problem parking near the property (on-street or in a small car park opposite) even if a bit of reversing up-hill was required. The shore area is convenient, the views terrific, and things are well-signposted. Access to the main road is simple and there are so many local places to visit and enjoy (Llanberis Slate Mine Museum was a favourite) that you're spoiled for choice.

    Street parking was hard to find one evening without a fairly long walk.

    The hosts were increadibly friendly, helpful and flexible, with excellent communication. Lovely people. The village is friendly and not at all touristy, yet within a stones throw of amazing beaches, mountains and the attractions of North Wales. Great location.

    Nothing really to dislike, I'd have to be picky and say take a pair of slippers, although the cottage was lovely and warm the hard flooring was really cold, even when the fire was going in the evening. Older travellers might need reminding that the stairs are steep and the bathroom is downstairs!!!!

    The owners left plenty of logs and coal for the log burner, plenty of cleaning products and little things like salt, cooking oil, coffee etc. I find that so helpful and lacking in many properties. The cottage feels loved and cared for with quality curtains, blinds and bedding. Plenty of books/boardgames etc. The owner kindly allowed us early access because the weather was pretty bad that day, he even got the fire going before we arrived.
