When we arrived Nicola came over to us to say hello, give us a few pointers on what's where and to say if we needed anything to just let them know. This set the tone for our one week stay as Nicola and John were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Possibly the best hosts we've had whilst travelling around the UK. It felt like self catering with the best hotel service. The generous welcome pack of milk, Welsh fruit bread and a bottle of Prosecco was greatly appreciated

We stayed at Tyddyn Sianel Derw over the early May bank holiday having only booked a couple of weeks earlier. What a beautiful stay we had, the cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The Prosecco and the cake were lovely extra touches and the hot tub was very welcome after a day climbing Snowdon. The cottage is in a great location with Criccieth only minutes away and a short drive to Snowdon, Beddgelert and Borthygest. The owners Nicola and John were great with communicating before we arrived and were on hand to answer any enquires about the local area. Nothing was too much trouble and we cant wait to go back to this little hidden gem. Many thanks, Liz and Phil
