Lovely spot. So peaceful. Great to watch the eclipse from the balcony.

3.0/5

The Glan Gwyna site is lovely; nice pool, lake, quiet and peaceful as described.

The lodge wasn’t particularly clean. The shower doors do not close fully so leak. There was rubbish from the previous guests left outside. The kitchen was not very clean. There was one electric fan which didn’t work. Only one roll of toilet roll left for a family of 5 for 2 nights!

The hosts were responsive on messenger but did not resolve any of the issues whilst we were there.

Overall, a pleasant stay but quite expensive considering the lack of cleanliness.

5.0/5

We stayed in the place for 4 nights and really enjoyed being there. The house has the gorgeous view of the lake and every breakfast or dinner on the balcony felt very special. The house is cosy and comfortable, the kitchen is big enough and has almost all that we needed. It would be nice to have more glasses and cups though.
The kids enjoyed exploring the area around, as well as swimming in the pool on the site.
The location is extremely good for seeing various parts of the Northern Wales: lakes, mountains, waterfalls, castles, sea - everything is so close!
We would definitely recommend the place to our friends, as well as return there ourselves.

Disappointing
Positive: The location as good. Relatively clean.
Negative: Cold Shower, ran out of electricity, lack of instructions, TV didnt work properly, internet was poor. Not good value for money at all.

The house was really lovely especially the atmosphere and overall vibe which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the bathroom sink was clogged, which made our stay a bit difficult at the time but we will definitely come back again ! Many thanks

Perfect location for visiting Snowdon only ten minute drive and nearby surrounding areas! Beautiful lake very peaceful, although we went at the start of May not many lodges/ caravans were in use, most likely be louder in the summer with more people around.

5.0/5

Great location and overall a pleasant stay. The property is well situated, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area.

However, a few basic amenities were missing, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, which would have made the stay more comfortable. With a bit more attention to these details, this could be an excellent place to stay.

Overall, a good experience thanks to the location.

Great location, excellent views with many amenities. The accommodation was great it can be seen that improvement are being implemented, there are some aspects with the accommodation that need improvement but the majority of these link to aesthetics.

Fue una estancia agradable en un etorno inmejorable. La casa es pequena, asi que eso es algo a considerar. Estaba limpia y bien equipada, y los anfitriones nos respondieron a nuestras dudas con rapidez.

5.0/5

Absolutely perfect! Never stayed in an Airbnb before so wasn’t sure what to expect but my goodness it was perfect. The host was so responsive and so friendly and polite. Location was absolutely beautiful, my children loved feeding the ducks and swans from the balcony!

If you’re going by car the location is perfect, there’s so much to do around and you’re not far at all from a shopping estate and supermarket and plenty of days out around for the children!

Kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need to make you feel right at home!

Couldn’t have asked for anything more, what a lovely couple of days we had. We will definitely be returning in future.

Thank you so much ☺️

Amazing place and location! One of the best spots in the whole park. Will definatley come back for longer. My daughter fed the swans from our balcony and being right next to a lake there were NO bugs anywhere!

Nice lodge set on a holiday park that has plenty of amenities for a small group or family. Communication was easy and the host was very responsive. The lodge was clean with the basics at hand for a comfortable stay.

Only stayed for one night, but this little lodge was exactly as described—cozy, clean, and with a beautiful view over the lake. The hosts were excellent with communication, making everything easy and stress-free. Would happily return for a longer stay! Thank you.

We had a lovely time. It’s part of a holiday park and importantly for us, it was very quiet despite a number of chalets close by and changing inhabitants. We travelled with a little baby and the host was helpful in sorting out a cot. Would recommend.

5.0/5

As described. Check-in and out was straight forward; great view of the lake from the balcony

4.0/5

A really nice place to stay. The lake view with the ducks and swans was nice to wake up to. Only downside was the hot water ran out quickly and would not replenish until the next day.

2.0/5

I didn’t really enjoyed my stay. The heating the house made it extremely uncomfortable. It was so hot that I struggled to relax or sleep. Despite having 2 rooms, only 1 fan was provided. I raised this issue but while it was acknowledged, no solution was offered. I endured 2 miserable, sleepless night due to the heat. The bed was uncomfortable as well.
I hope some steps will be taken to improve the temperature of the house and ensure more comfortable stay for future guest.

Ein absolut traumhafter Aufenthalt! Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am See und bietet eine atemberaubende Aussicht – perfekt für ruhige Morgenkaffees oder entspannte Abende am Wasser. Die Umgebung ist idyllisch, ideal zum Abschalten und Natur genießen. Die Unterkunft selbst war makellos sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die hervorragende Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber – freundlich, schnell und hilfsbereit von Anfang bis Ende. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Absolute Empfehlung!

4.0/5

Lovely place just overlooking the lake. Aesthetic and pleasing interiors and a calm place to rest and relax. Everything was wonderful except issues with hot water in the morning. Raised it with the host who was kind enough to reply quickly and said will send a technician, but at 10 said the cleaner has come and asked us to checkout. The cleaning lady was quite rude and I raised this with the host who promptly said will raise with the cleaning company. Overall, would recommend this place to stay. Just need to raise the hot water issue early in the morning rather than later.

Best short stay ever!

Hiked with a few friends and stayed over night, very easy and responsive!

5.0/5

Very nice cabin. Super host. Some small things that this host does that others do not makes all the difference and makes your stay so much smoother. I’ve stayed in 5 different cabins in the same park (glan gwyna) and this is the best one so far. Super responsive, had everything we needed for our stay and we felt looked after all the way through.

5.0/5

Beautiful, serene and spotlessly clean! We would definitely recommend and would be going back! Team was very helpful and responsive and provided information on time! Thank you !

Lovely little cabin in a great location, was so nice to be able to look over the lake and be surrounded by nature

5.0/5

Really great spot, looks like this is part of a larger organisation of accommodation so things are fairl well structured organised and communication is very professional. The sun hits the accommodation perfectly and the decking is in the best spot to soak it all up. There are washing facilities on the site but not in the accommodation itself and is a bit of a trek, but its got a great outdoor swimming pool and play area for kids nearby so can combine the trip. Overall a hidden gem really well located for the coast and the mountains.

5.0/5

perfect stay. pictures don't actually do the view outside the property justice.

3.0/5

For the price of £250 a night we were sad to find anything negative. On first impressions the lodge is beautiful & in perfect surroundings. But then the shower door was broken, the TV didn’t work, one bed had stains on, the toilet cleaner & bleach bottles were empty, no WiFi password was given & the outdoor table was what looked like burnt, We felt for the price the standard wasn’t quite there. As we were only staying one night it was things that didn’t cause too many issues but if we were staying for longer we would have been very dissatisfied. Otherwise it is decorated beautifully with lots of little things. The lake view is lovely to wake up to. I think it’s the cleaning standards and checks which the host is possibly unaware of that let it down.

5.0/5

Wonderful communication with host. Amazing spot
