Holiday Rental Description

Holiday home
In the heart of Snowdonia, this picturesque stone cottage has stunning views of the lake and mountains. Facing down the valley, it looks across Lake Gwynant, which is fringed with trees, to the mountains that rise from the shore. This wonderful view can be enjoyed from the fireside or from the garden. "The archetypal stone cottage with a breathtaking view. Pantlleni gives one a sense of time standing still, it is charming & not 21st century inside, and I love it!" Pantlleni is very much a simplistic retreat, best suited to those who truly enjoy and appreciate the history and unique charm of traditional Welsh stone cottages. You won't find the latest mod-cons or furnishings, but if you don't mind getting back to the basic necessities you will certainly find a sense of relaxation from the tranquil surroundings of this old cottage. The holiday cottage makes a great, albeit simple base for those looking to explore the local area. Step outside and breathe in the fresh mountain air - why not pack a picnic and while away a warm summer day by the picturesque Llyn Gwynant? You could even take a paddleboard or canoe along and have a sail on the lake if you're feeling particularly adventurous! Close to Llanberis, Capel Curig and Beddgelert, Pantlleni is perfectly placed for exploring Snowdonia by car, or for walking the many footpaths that lead to the peaks and along the valley. About half an hour's drive away are the sandy beaches of Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula; golf, horse riding and fishing are close by.

This was my fifth time to the cottage.. The view of course is wonderful but over the years the already basic cottage has clearly suffered from want of investment. The lighting hasn’t been sorted out. The hob works but is difficult to control...it needs replacing. The crockery is poor and tired. Only two normal sized wine glasses left....poor. The bed linen needs replacing ....poor quality and too old and thin. The towels need boiling and checking for stains. Dusty old food bottles left by previous occupants should be thrown out...they’re just grubby and emphasise that the place generally needs a good deep clean and a lick of paint. And why is there still a stick for the electricity....pretty low class and irritating. It seems that more is being taken financially than given which is a shame because the cottage is inherently good quality and in an outstanding location. It always feels warm and welcoming when I arrive but it isn’t on that I have to spend the first two hours cleaning after a 6 hour drive just so that I can relax and enjoy my stay. Others have commented on this before and although in part it was better on arrival this time....the bath was dirty, the toilet mat clearly was filthy and the shower mat didn’t look clean either. The phone...literally brown with dirt....I gave that a good clean and disinfect before using. I love Pant Lleni and the broader lack of facilities doesn’t bother me but continuing grubbiness and lack of basic healthy conditions does. Come on Menai...time to get this sorted!
