This should not be listed as a guest house - it's more like a back-packers hostel. No staff were in evidence, our door key was on the wrong hook (we decided to try it anyway so got in) and no-one answered the phone number on the keyring. The floor covering is linoleum, the blind at the window didn't work. Breakfast was serve it yourself from a small kitchen, quite limited, and you do your own washing up. The toaster didn't work. You eat in your room, with no table, just a couple of uncomfortable chairs. On the plus side, it was clean, had a kettle, hairdryer, cups etc and the shower worked okay. Just list it honestly for what it is and don't build a very limited, do it yourself breakfast up to sound like something it isn't.

We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this property. The host was very helpful and provided all the information we needed. The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything required for our stay.
Breakfast was good, and the available parking was very convenient. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of finding a small Bible in the drawer.Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would gladly return.

Self service guesthouse.

The room was great, very clean.
All the \"service\" was done remotely, Pick up our own key, Hang up the key when one leaves, serve yourself breakfast. (it was a bit basic), The home made jam was excellent. The self service was not a major problem, but extra instructions/guidance would have prepared us as to what to expect. (little things such a local street map on the hotel website).

Misleading descriptions.

This is my own personal opinion on a 3 night stay. Firstly, there is no one at the property to meet you. You are sent a WhatsApp message on how to collect your keys. We booked a room with a mountain view. If I stood on my toes and looked out of the skylight, I could just about see a mountain. The property descriptions are very misleading. The room is very small with a small wheeled clothes rail. Please see photos. We were in room 2 at the top of the stairs. You could hear everybody coming and going as its very creaky. It's a small double bed and comfortable. The bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower. There was no shower gel except for one that looked like it had been left. Towels are provided. I booked this guesthouse through Hotels.com and asked for a breakfast. I assumed a full breakfast was provided. How wrong was I. There is a small galley kitchen where you help yourself to cereals, toast, bacon, beans, boiled egg, yoghurt and apple juice. You plate it up and eat it in your room. There is a small table and chairs provided. Personal, I found this unhygienic and your room smelt of bacon and beans. I WhatsApp the owner to air my concerns. These were dismissed and told it's breakfast on the go. I think it was breakfast on the cheap. I had seen photos of a dining room in the property. If there are 2 people in the kitchen, no one else can use it. There are parking spaces available. Given the option to stay here again. Definitely not.

We stayed for 3 nights and climbed Yr Wyddfa one day (approx 40 mins drive), visited Betwys Y Coed (~20 mins) and Zip world (less than 5 min). Thank you!

Lovely stay with wonderful hosts. Great communication and service from them both.
The room was lovely, and the breakfast was great.
It could be a bit noisy at times, being an old building that creaks and isn't sound proofed, but this didn't bother us.
A great place to use a base for exploring North Wales; not anything to do in the local area but very quick to drive to various towns, beauty spots and other tourist attractions - will definitely return if going to the area again.

Enjoyable weekend stay

An enjoyable weekend break, the room was very spacious with a large bathroom and powerful shower. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room and a self service breakfast was available with cereals, bread for toasting (there was also bacon, scambled egg and beans available). There was off road parking on site for all those staying there. The booking in process prior to arrival was very clear and concise

Comfy bed, good shower, great coffee

It was a self service check in, and out, and self service breakfast so we didn't actually see the owners while we were there. The room was small but clean
with a lovely hot powerful shower and a very comfy bed. The breakfast wasn't what we were expecting, it was help yourself to cereal, toast, bacon and hard boiled eggs which you then took back to your room. Whilst I appreciate the practicality of sliced bread, please upgrade it from the cheapest white slided you can get. The coffee however, was the saving grace. Good, strong, cafetiere coffee, bonus points there! The Pisgah was fine for our needs but we wouldn't rush back.
A word of warning re Blaenau...there are NO restaurants here, only take aways which you can take to the pub to eat or, alternatively, find a restaurant to have a meal in before returning to Blaenau Ffestiniog. On our first night we had takeaway, but on the second night we had a meal out in a fabulous Indian in Llanberis after climbing Snowdon.

A little too loud, a little too cold.

Good communication when arriving and knowing where to park, how to get in etc.

Shower powerful, bed comfortable.

However, the room was cold and never got warm. Messaged hosts who said it would come on automatically as was chilly when we arrived, Got warmer but not warm enough.

Sound proofing? Nope.. next door's bathroom fan was so loud and they had it on until nearly 1am. I had messaged hosts at 10.30pm, but didn't get a reply. Very disappointing. Breakfast was okay but fairly limited with toast made and then left until cleared away.

Some updating needed as door to bathroom splintered, decor a little dated, main light wouldn't come on. After not getting a reply regarding noise, didn't bother mentioning it.

The listing said mountain views but we were in a residential street and i had no views as my windows were opaque glass. The corridor outside creaked terribly and the soundproofing was si bad i could hear a man coughing and sneezing in the next room, even tnough my room had a small ensuite between. Also i could hear the owner downstairs talking on her mobile. She had it on speakerphone and I could hear the other person talking.
The listing showed a breakfast room with a photo of a cooked breakfast but all it supplied was cereal and toasted sandwiches which had gone all soggy in a heated tray. This you collected from the landing area which looked like a cupboard at the top of another set of stairs and then had to eat in your room. One day they forgot to supply spoons for the cereal so i had to eat mine with a teaspoon from my room.
Overall the property is tired and dismal. No face to face interaction wuth the owners and not good value for money.
The listing needs to be updated to reflect no breakfast room or cooked breakfast and no mountain views.

Stayed here for many years, always good value
Only issue is the breakfast was always good when it was in dining room and latterly out of the cupboard but this year it’s not great with strange tomato paste? toasted sandwich and small child’s yoghurt.
Still good value accomodation but I would pay more for maybe a bacon/sausage/egg bap.

It is what it is a 3* guest house but tbh I’d say it’s more a 2*
Pretty grubby decor. Walls dirty & carpet must be 50 years old
Kitchen tiny (only available for breakfast which was pretty poor)

I paid £80 for night & I’d say it’s a £40 guest house at best

Dated but served it's purpose

We booked for proximity to Zipworld, the guest house is a little dated, walls are thin so beware! Breakfast was served from a cupboard, was expecting a fully cooked breakfast as advertised but there isn't even a dining room. That aside they did cater for allergies and gave decent Dinner recommendations. Views are amazing if you stick your head out of the skylight and the local town is a bit lack luster with most businesses closed down.

The hostess and staff were very friendly and the guest house was in area with beautiful scenery. Breakfast was well prepared and just as described,“”Grab and go“ “so that we could take it back to the table in our room. It was slightly further from Snowdon’s Llanberis trail than we had at first thought. We were given very up-to-date information by the host and provided with suggestions for Gastro pubs in the area which, were excellent recommendations. Very good value for money.

Only think I could find remotely needing improvement was supplying the breakfast milk in an open jug rather than a cooler of some type

I read through the few negative reviews and would agree with the owners comments in each case

Room was clean and tidy but the waste bin in the bathroom hadn't been emptied from the previous stay. We didn't see or speak to the owners, just kept receiving WhatsApp messages from them which was strangely disturbing! Parking became an issue as my husband didn't follow the WhatsApp instructions so we got told off by WhatsApp message.
There wasn't any blinds in the bathroom window which meant at night, I felt awkward and exposed using the toilet and shower facilities. The breakfast was disppointing, no breakfast room and no fresh coffee available. The rolls were inedible, hard and dry, bacon either uncooked or nuked.
