About this property

Deer House - cosy cottage in Wales for max. 4 people

The house is located on the south side of the Snowdonia National Park and is an end of terrace house which, back in 1826, was a weavers cottage.
The Snowdonia National Park is 5 miles away. Other attractions are the Centre for Alternative Technology, Nature Reserves, Talyllyn Railway, Devils Bridge and seaside Aberdovey and Borth. There are superb footpaths for walkers and trails for mountain bikers. The house sleeps four people - there is a double bed upstairs with a single blow up bed and a sofa bed in the sitting room. The house offers clean, basic facilities and there is an excellent cleaner who cleans at the start of your stay and at the end. All linen and 4 towels are provided, but do bring extra towels if you require them. We provide cotton sheets and a comfortable beds.

The staircase is a typical cottage style and is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

Children are very welcome but as there is a cottage style staircase, please do make them aware that they must walk and not run up and down the stairs.

This is a clean, simple Welsh cottage in a beautiful area close to much of the best of Wales. If you are looking for well placed accommodation with lots of traditional features then this is the perfect little cottage for your stay. Light the fire when you arrive and the atmosphere is delightful.

The house has a small front garden, a patio at the back and a large side garden. The house is in an ideal area for exploring the Snowdonia National Park.

There is a store of logs which you are welcome to use.

There are a number of very good restaurants in the area and lots of beautiful picnic spots. I can send you a list of interesting places to visit, fantastic picnic spots and spectacular scenery.

Not happy with property

First impressions of the property on arrival was disappointing with rubbish on the floor on the front garden. The property does state it's basic but it would be a bonus if it was clean. The sofa was dirty. The living room was dull and dingy and a larger TV would be beneficial. The kitchen units were OK as long as you don't mind spiders webs and spiders inside as you open the doors. The cooker was disgraceful and needs desperately replacing. The property is very isolated and a car is a must if you want to eat. The nearest pub was approximately 2.5 mile away and a shop was not seen during our stay within a reasonable distance. Due to our disappointment we only stayed 1 night instead of 2. I would not recommend this property.

Deer Cottage

Enjoyed our break and it was a good base to explore from so we really didnt spend much time at the cottage. It is as described ...very basic, but it was enough for our 3 nights. It's perfect size for 2 but a bit cramped with 4 as you have to use the sofa bed. So that really left us struggling to chill out after a long day walking/exploring. We would end up sitting on the dining rooms chairs. The bedroom upstairs is very spacious and the bed is lovely and comfy. Bathroom has been recently done and is small. As one previous review noted - no mirror and there was plenty of wall space for one. Overall a nice little break for us all and fortunate with the weather too.
