William “Enjoyed my stay at Bluebell Cottage.”
It was very comfortable. I enjoyed sitting out eating my breakfast admiring the view and watching the birds coming into the feeders. I saw your Greater Spotted Woodpecker a few times and you have a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker coming in on the odd occasion, these are quite rare. It was very quiet and peaceful and the bed was very comfortable. I will be back.

Michael “We had a fantastic week at Bluebell cottage.”
As others have said the kitchen is a bit of a squeeze but we were aware of this before we arrived and took our air fryer with us. The shower is quite small but the water pressure and temp were perfect so it didn't matter. The location is amazing and the visiting wildlife was a joy. The peace and quiet along with an extremely comfortable bed meant we got a good night sleep every night. Tv signal and wi-fi is spot on. .we would be more than happy to return and recommend to others

Simon “Lovely couple who made us very welcome.”
Stunning views to wake up to. It would have been difficult to find had it not been for Sylvia’s directions. However this is really not a problem. Only about a five minutes drive from the nearest village with all the amenities but still feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Overall just perfect

The cottage was clean and neat down to the little soaps provided and soft music playing on arrival. It's all the little touches that really add to the experience. Great location. Stunning views from the cottage. Lovely walks very close by. Very quiet and peaceful area. Highly recommended location for an enjoyable and peaceful holiday.
- Aryeh, April 2023 -
Gareth “Ideal chalet for 2, for a really quiet stay, with wildlife just outside your door.”
Spotless interior with everything you need for a relaxing break. When we ate in, the facilities were all we needed. If you want to eat out, the Maenan Abbey restaurant is a short stroll down the drive. We did and had a nice meal there.
- Gareth, April 2023 -

- Sarah, March 2023 -
Kristen “We had a lovely time at Bluebell Cottage.”
It's compact, well laid out, and has all of the necessities. The area is absolutely stunning and a great base to explore the mountains and the north coast. The hosts are friendly and around to help if anything pops up. The local Fish and Chip shop in Llanrwst is a must.

David “The blueBells Cottage Oct 2022 A one bedroom chalet/lodge, in pleasant woodland surroundings, overlooking the Conwy valley.”
A step up from the caravan, in most areas, except the kitchen, which although adequate, was small. Worktop space lacking. All the facilities that you could want are there, except for a washing machine. The view from the main window was very good. The cottage is up a long narrow rough drive. A word of warning to anyone trying to find the cottage. The post code on a sat nav or phone will only get you near the main area on the main road. If coming from the North, then you have to go past the drive entrance, do a U-turn, then cut across the road to the start of the drive. then up the single track. It is signposted and has reflextive triangles at the entrance. The cottage is realtively small, but has all that you need. The kitchen is the smallest room, though useable. A decent shower in the bathroom, though more shelves would help. A reasonable amount of storage. Heating in the living room is provided by an electric fire. A bit noisy, but it quickly heats up the room. The bedroom does not have a heater, but there is an electric blanket. Still, adequate on a cold October night. A deck and lounger are provided outside. A lot of handy little stickers are provided by the owners, giving guidance to to such things as switch locations. The cottage was a good base for visiting the North of Wales area. Trains and buses possbile, but the times are infrequent, so driving is a more likely option. Note: the footbridge at Dolgarrog is closed, preventing a walking option to the other side of the valley. The cottage felt clean and I had a pleasant stay.

- Julie, June 2021 -
Patricia “I simply adored my staying at the cottage Bluebell.”
Lovely cosy little cottage surrounded of trees and where you can watch the sunset behind the mountains and also see the moon in the evenings from the same spot. The location is good, far away from the towns but with easy and quick access to them all. And the owners were always very welcoming and considerate. If you're looking for a peaceful place to stay, I definitely recommend the bluebell cottage. Thank you Sylvia. Pat
- Patricia, September 2020 -
Christine “The chalet is in a beautiful spot, lovely views.”
It had everything we needed plus extras and spotlessly clean. A great pity the bathroom and kitchen weren’t just a bit bigger. It would have made all the difference and made it a perfect place to stay. There was some wasted space by an attempt to make a second bedroom which was a complete failure as there was no room with the bed even to stand up in there. It would have made an ideal en suite bathroom and then the existing bathroom could be put into the kitchen which adjoined it.
- Christine, September 2020 -
Maria “Although everything met our expectations and in some case was more than expected the pictures on the web site make the property look much bigger than it actually is.”
- Maria, September 2020 -

- Janice, August 2020 -
Melanie “Lovely position for a restful break.”

Thomas “We loved every minute of this holiday, it was in a perfect location for exploring North Wales.”
Nestled in the Conwy Valley with excellent views, peace and quiet and yet only minutes away from all that North Wales has to offer. The owners were truly lovely people who kept their distance but were there if we needed them. Bluebell cottage was a real gem!
- Thomas, August 2015 -
