Ons verblijf was goed in de cottage. Het huisje is al best oud maar wel van alle gemakken voorzien. Ik zou adviseren om wat sfeervollere plafond verlichting aan te brengen ipv koud LED licht. Dat doet echt af aan de charme van het huisje. We konden eerder het huisje in vanwege het slechte weer. Dat was heel attent. Direct aan de overkant (10m) is een supermarkt die dagelijks van 08:00 tot 20:00 open is. Super handig! Bij aankomst mag er overigens ook een leuk welkomst pakketje met lekkers, brood, boter en jam.

Our stay in the cottage was good. Although the cottage is quite old, it is equipped with everything you might need. I would suggest installing some more atmospheric ceiling lighting instead of the cold LED lights currently in place; the latter really detracts from the cottage's charm. We were allowed to check in early due to the bad weather, which was very thoughtful. There is a supermarket right across the way (10m away) that is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM—super convenient! Also, a nice welcome package containing some treats, bread, butter, and jam would be a lovely touch upon arrival.

Ideal location for a break. Charming quiet village.

My stay at Merrion Cottage with my dog was lovely. The cottage is as described and in a beautiful village, only a short drive from Betws y Coed. There is a small shop just over the road from the cottage, a pub behind and parking available in the church carpark. The cottage is cosy, clean and within easy distance of many of the Snowdonia attractions.

Super
Pro:The location, connection to the pub, nicely decorated
Con: The way the lighting was wired meant that in the kitchen, when it got darker outside, there was either too much or too little light for us. Separately switchable lighting above the hob could be a solution.

Merrion Cottage was wonderful for my partner, our golden retriever and I. It's a very small cottage, but so super cosy, doesn't feel cramped and still has everything you would need and more for a long stay. The kitchen was well stocked with some lovely treats, good selection of cooking utensils, plates, bowls and cups. Vicky is a wonderful host and was so inviting and lovely. We will definitely return to Merrion Cottage for our next walking holiday!

A lovely short stay. Beautiful little cottage in an amazing part of Wales. We'll definitely be returning.

Myself and my partner had never been to North Wales before, but staying in this Airbnb made things feel like a home away from home. The host was very responsive and very kind to our questions and requests. The space was very warm and the location was so picturesque and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

It was my husband's birthday and im glad that we chose merrion cottage. Thanks to Vicky, what an amazing host she is. She helped me to surprise my husband on his birthday (decorated the cottage with some lights, flower what not) even she baked the cake last minute. Would definitely book this cottage again in future. Also the cottage is in best location, few miles from the attractions. Thank you vicky for being an amazing host

Nice quirky cottage in one of the few areas of North Wales I have never explored. This was a last-minute booking as part of a longer trip - I wasn't actually sleeping there the first night due to an overnight mountain climb\camp. The cottage itself was very comfortable and reasonably well equipped. It's always welcome to have a few fridge items like milk & butter, along with some other treats - a nice touch which I used to see a lot years ago, but is increasingly becoming less common. Issues beyond the hosts' control included parking and the noise from the air conditioning unit across the road. Not an issue if you keep the windows closed, but it was a tad warm during my stay. I managed to get a parking space in the church car park once overnight, and that was with half the car on the road. The only space I found within reasonable walking distance was the roadside further down, with car an inch off the wall - what3words ///educates.informed.winner (110 metres from house)

Thanks Dan, for a very comprehensive review that will be of great help to future guests and ourselves. The parking situation varies from day to day and by the time of day. For changeovers, we have always been able to park in the chapel carpark, and guests have usually been able to park there overnight, but occasionally they have had to park along the road.

If you're looking for a peaceful little cottage in a sweet Welsh village that's well within driving distance of anything the Snowdonia area has to offer - I can't recommend this property enough! Very proactive and responsive hosts. Bonus, the back garden has a gate straight into the local beer garden.

Vicky was an amazing host - very communicative right from the start. Quaint and cozy cottage in a quite little village

Such a lovely cottage perfect for a weekend away, very close to places like Go below and Zip world activities. Very clean and cosy and great hosts, good communication throughout. A nice local pub pretty much next door, all of the locals were lovely and loved our dog givning him lots of treats.. Already talking about going back. Thanks a lot for a lovely stay.
The only downfall was the access to the garden was upstairs (spiral staircase) which was tricky for letting our dog out for the toilet. Our dog would not go up and probably would not get back down if he did as they are a little narrow and steep. Other than this is was wonderful.

Coat cottage stay for two
It was cosy (and cool during the heat wave), well equipped and perfect for a couple exploring Snowdonia national park for a long weekend. Easy to find with Marks instructions and parking was very close by, handy local shop opposite and the pub next door.
No complaints.

Lovely cottage , nice and cosy , recommended
Lovely cottage , well thought out with an amazing log burner. Mark has kitted the cottage out with everything you could need. We had a lovely relaxing stay.
Parking around the corner and up the road was a small issue but would not stop us staying again.

Cosy, cute cottage.
Gorgeous, cosy, little cottage. Super comfy bed and pillows. Well equipped with everything you need. Shop literally across the road. Would definitely stay again.
It is a bit of a drive out to anywhere but we went to chill and get away for a few nights with the dogs. Pub which is practically next door but was not open on the day we wanted to try there.
