I recently stayed here for my brother in laws birthday with other family members, the location is really good lots of eateries within walking distance and the local pub was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The house it’s self is very dated and is in need of some tlc, there were coffee stains on the wall, plaster falling off walls and just not clean at all. We asked for a stair gate which was left but it did not fit so it was pointless, the travel cot which was in the porch area was dirty and would not let my dog sleep in it let alone my baby, the house was filthy, there were cobwebs in the shower and seating area, behind the sofa in the lounge was disgusting also it looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned for months. We were asked to take off the bedding before departing, the mattress protectors were disgusting, some of them had blood stains on them and some were stained with urine, the pillows and duvets were the same, I don’t know how people think it is acceptable to rent a house out like that. Also the sauna was broken something which we were not notified about upon arrival. All I can say is i was glad to leave and come home to my clean house.

Nice relaxing holiday, age related issues to house.. some of the equipments such as washing machine and DVD system were not working properly. but the landlady offered laundry service for us. rectified a concern arises during the stay very quickly and effectively. 5 stars for that. location is very ideal and near to most of snowdonia attractions including Snowdon railway walking distance.

Mr John, September 2020

Nice big clean house in a super location in the village of Llanberis.. Had everything we needed plus a sauna ! Huge dining table, and lots of seating in the basement lounge area. Very helpful owners, and within a few minutes walk of the local pubs restaurants and takeaways. Good base for climbing Snowdon, paddling on the lake and exploring the local area. We had a very enjoyable 4 night stay for 9 of us.

Mrs Alsafar, July 2020

July 2020

May not be like a 5* hotel but very very clean and in the heart of snowdonia.. Excellent accommodation for larger family. Very approachable caretaker and was always available when called. Thank you. Will certainly stay again.

Mr Freeman, August 2020

We loved the experience and the area is amazing couldnt have asked for a better situated property.. The property is dated and its spread across four floors. All the beds creak and so do all the staircases. The day after we arrived the was no hot water in two out of three bathroom. The ine that worked was on the top floor and was a bath which made it more difficult for my elderly parents to reach. It took a long time to fix the issue and only one of the showers were fixed. We had kids with us and felt like we should have been reinbursed as it was not our fault but we were not.

Mr Jadhav, July 2020

January 2020

This is an excellent cottage for larger family or group holidays.. It is clean, warm, comfortable and practical. Great location.

Mrs Seddon

The house was spacious enough for all of us - 11 adults, 5 children and 3 dogs.. The kitchen was fully equipped - there was plenty of cutlery, utensils and pots/pans. The bedrooms were roomy and provided plenty of storage space. The downstairs shower was the one that was used the most as the shower on the 1st floor tended just to trickle. We experienced no issues with the hot water. The downstairs sitting room was large enough to seat everyone, with the added bonus of the snug room. The log fire was a welcome addition, particularly after a brisk walk around the lake. The location of the house itself is great. Situated on the main high street, it is close by to all amenities, the lake and Mount Snowdon. The property was a little tired and dated in places and would benefit from a lick of paint. We experienced an issue with the shower door in the downstairs bathroom, but this was quickly rectified after a phone call to the owner, Lesley. The outside seating area could also do with a tidy up. Tshe bins located under the front steps were full when we arrived and the floor under here was full of cigarette ends. Aside from the minor issues, we had a wonderful extended weekend break and would definitely book to stay here again.

Mr Whybrow

April 2019

This was a great location and a great house for a big group.. My only comment is that it’s a bit tired in places and could do with a bit of attention. However the 12 of us all agreed would would like to come back again.

Dr Williams

February 2019

Fantastic place.. Had a great weekend.

Mr Crawley

December 2018

Had a brilliant stay, 12 of us stayed including 5 children and we had 2 dogs as well, plenty of space for us all.. The owners left some bara brith and made sure we had enough wood for the log burner too.

Karen K

Brilliant holiday had by all our family, plenty of room in the property and in a fantastic location too!

K7846YVkarenk

We stayed at Halford Hill for a week for a family celebration - 17 of us in total and a mixture of adults and children. We had a great week, the house was a perfect base for us and became home from home. It is a bit tired in places but absolutely fine for the price that we paid. The kitchen was on the small side for the number of people but the living areas, dining room, bathrooms and bedrooms were all spacious enough. It was well equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc. The central heating and hot water systems worked very well. I would definitely recommend Halford Hill for a gathering of this size, and it’s location is great for exploring North Wales. However, due to the number of stairs, this house would not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Mrs Bull

October 2018

There is no hot water in the house.. The heating is set which is fine we just turned the radiators off that we didn't want on at the radiator but there was no way of getting hot water as you can't adjust the boiler, you will have to contact the owners or caretaker. We went white water rafting and everyone got a hot shower there. There is an electric shower on the second floor which gets hot but doing dishes etc it was boil the kettle. Apart from the water we all loved the place and would return but would get the water sorted

Mr Davis

August 2018

Loved the house was a great location for what we needed it for booked again for next year:)

Mr Moore

July 2018

It advertised barbeque and sitting area this was overgrown and not usable.. the front access is also not like the photo and overgrown and not usable but the location and size of property is what sells this house. The house is not top notch but very usable

Ms Freeman

May 2018

Fantastic and versatile space.. Perfect for our family gathering. Well equipped and layout worked brilliantly. Perfectly located for all local attractions.

Mrs Huxtable

April 2018

Fantastic location in Llanberis, and great for a large group.. Just a couple of small niggles, the TV in the small lounge wasn't working, we tried all the remotes! Shower on the top floor attached to the bath was either hot or cold so wasn't easy to wash in comfort.

Mrs Daly

January 2018

Lovely Big house very comfortable but when we arrived the central heating was broke and its was freezing with it being January.. The owners were very good got a plumber out but it couldnt be fixed that night so they supplied heaters but with the house being so big it was still really cold. Fortunatley the plumber came back late the next afternoon and fixed it. so we enjoyed the rest of the stay. Owners Simon and Lesley were very apologetic and helped resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Lovely house lovely location and we hope to return again soon

Mrs Lambert

November 2016

Fantastic location.. Great for large parties, plenty of bedrooms and large communal spaces. Minor niggle- no bath towels provided. All in all an excellent property.

May 2016

Booked for an extended family reunion weekend Halford Hill was just perfect - with seven bedrooms and accomodation on four floors there was plenty of space for everyone and never a sense of being cramped. The dining room with long table for big family meal worked well and welcoming touches like milk in the fridge, flowers and a loaf of Bara Brith were much appreciated. With a group ranging from 11 months old to 60+ the activities on offer in Llanberis and the surrounding area were plentiful; we just wished that we had longer. The house was well equipped and some of our party took advantage of the sauna which they considered a real bonus. The weather was stunning therefore we had no need of the wood-burning stove but wood was provided; the lounge(s) were comfortable and cosy with plentiful seating for all. Provision of bedding, cot and high chair was helpful too - all in all a great house for a large family group weekend!

Miss Leigheb

March 2016

A perfect location and a beautiful well kept house, felt very homely. Would definitely recommend it and will visit again.

Mr Witter

We spent 3 days at Halford Hill with some friends and plenty of kids. The house never felt cramped, was always nice and warm and had plenty of room for the whole group. The sauna in the downstairs bathroom was an added bonus especially after running the Anglesey half marathon! Location is fantastic and I really can't fault the place. Would definitely come back if ever in the Llanberis area.

Mrs Payne

September 2015

Perfect accommodation for our family of 16, could not fault it! The living room was fabulous with plenty of room for everyone to come together.

Miss Speers

February 2015

Had the best weekend! Couldn't fault the property, it was big warm and very cosy. We loved every minute of our stay! Will be back again for sure.

Wildethings

January 2015

We stayed at the house for new year. Was great for the amount of people. House is in great condition. The location is great for shops, restaurants, walks and surrounding attractions. Only complaint was lack of instruction about heating, recycling collection etc. A customer handbook would be useful. Also shame about lack of garden space. The side of the house would make a lovely patio area if it was tidied up and fenced. Would be helpful if you have a dog. Other little things such as a dvd player in the snug would of been helpful for the kids and positioning of mirrors in bedrooms could be improved ie on full height walls near plugs ,some kitchen equipment needed replacing, just constructive criticism, overall a great holiday and have recommended

Mr Armstrong

November 2014

Very comfortable and great value for the weekend. The sauna was a big hit, just wished we had more time to utilise it - maybe next time!

Dunning

September 2014

The size was just right for the number of people, 12 Adults 2 children and there was sufficient parking for 5 cars. The sauna and log fire just added to the ambience. The main lounge was great for adults leaving the 2 children to use the smaller TV room.

Mrs Bacon

June 2014

Central location for many walking/climbing and water activities. We had a fabulous time with grandchildren and friends. The house was perfect for a large group and the sauna after a long walk was superb!

This was booked for a weekend to celebrate special birthdays of several work colleagues. We needed somewhere large enough to accomodate 12+ an within easy travelling distance of Liverpool. I must say when I looked at the website after it been booked I felt a little disappointed as it is so plain to look at and not quite the country retreat I had anticipated - the furnishings also looked a bit basic! However I was pleasantly suprised as on arrival we were greeted with the smell of new carpets! In fact the whole house had had a makeover since a fire in May 2012 and the website is not updated even now, The bedrooms are beautifully appointed and beds are comfortable. It was lovely and warm and the cooking facilities were great for a big Christmas dinner! Even the sun shone for our November walk! Great for a big party!

Mr Bakht

November 2012

Mrs Clark

December 2011

Very comfortable house that accommodated us all really well. Gorgeous view of the lake too.

The house was perfect for our family break and was an ideal location for the path up Snowdon. The bathrooms were in need of renovation but otherwise it was clean, comfortable and warm. Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby and the owner was very friendly. Would recommend although not suitable for those with mobility difficulties as there are 3 flights of stairs.
