Glanllyn Reviews

Tracey
We were a party of 6 adults and found the chalet extremely comfortable with plenty of space for us all. The owners were on hand if we had a question and the view was just stunning. If you are looking to get away from it all, with a touch of luxury you have found the perfect place, with the added bonus of a hot tub to watch the world go by. You wonâ??t be disappointed.
Clare
This has to be the best cottage we have ever stayed in, the views are spectacular and its position is second to none. It is very well appointed, extremely comfortable with powerful showers great sofas etc etc. we found the best place to eat is at Craddoc golf course the new chef Ian is such a talent you must try.
Rachel
We loved Glanllyn. Tastefully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. All the thought John Davies has put in to reduce the carbon footprint of the build and the daily running was important to us and appreciated. Glanllyn is in a very quiet and restful location high up on a farm.Thank you John and Menna.
Lynette
A truly wonderful lodge. We couldn't fault it. Stunning setting, the views were incredible. The lodge itself was warm, cosy and finished with high quality furniture and fittings. Beds were extremely comfortable and the outside space was perfect. It had everything we needed. We were very impressed and had a lovely time. Highly recommend a stay at this incredible lodge.
