The kitchen is well-equipped with all the essentials, so you can enjoy a lovely home-cooked meal, along with a handy washing machine for your laundry needs. From here, the sitting room is the perfect place to curl up with a good book by the woodburning stove or challenge your partner to a game of table football for your evening entertainment, and there is also a doll house and other games for any children in your group.

Step outside into the garden, where you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the hot tub, nestled under the pagoda and perfect to soak in any time of year. The decked area is the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast, while furniture makes for a great place to relax in the afternoon sun with a drink of your choice!

For a peaceful nook, head to the Meditation Area, set in the forest, where you can feel at one with nature whilst lounging on the private hammock.

Trem Y Don Reviews

Absolutely wonderful owners and property location. Booked here for my partners birthday and they even got him a birthday card and a bottle of wine! The hot tub was amazing and so were the views. 5 stay
Lizzie
Lovely clean, spacious & well equipped cottage with really comfortable furnishings. Owners provided a generous welcome pack which included treats for our dog. Gareth couldn't have done more to make us feel at home. Large hot tub was a real treat after days out exploring. Beautiful local walks & lots of amazing places to visit within a reasonable drive. Would definitely stay again.
Beverley
This is a lovely holiday cottage. Well kept, and the owners are very respectful of your privacy and lovely people. The hot tub is very relaxing and clean. The property and the bed is extremely comfortable. The path at the back of the property up to the Roman road is a little steep, as the advert states but manageable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.
Joanne
Gareth and Karen are amazing hosts , the welcome pack was a great surprise and very much appreciated, very clean and welcoming cottage. The cloud bed was amazing . We will most definitely recommend. We had the most amazing stay . The hot tub was just what we needed after full day walking .
We had a great stay with a very warm welcome at Trem y Don. A good base to visit the area.
Jonathan
We had a lovely week at Trem Y Don and fortunately the weather was good for us. It is a gem of a cottage, with good hosts close by but not intrusive. The welcome package was very well received by us and the hottub is excellent and well maintained. It is an excellent centre for visits especially if you are a Cadw andor National Trust member. We managed Beaumaris Castle and Plas Newydd on one day. Rhyl and Rhuddlan Castle on another. Conway town and castle which are truly a delight. Bodnant Gardens and the Welsh food centre are only 1520 minutes away and spectacular. A day in Snowdonia and visiting Penrhyn Castle were all interesting. There are so many places to go you can easily fill a week. For food the Groes Inn straight up the road 67 miles is excellent been there a number of times over the years. Y Bedol is also decent.
Many thanks to our hosts, Graham and Karen, for providing what felt like a home from home on our stay at Trem Y Don. We were fairly surprised at how large the property was, plenty of room for the two of us and Max the dog, and we all enjoyed the welcome pack kindly provided by our hosts. The location is spot on and a short drive to most of the coastal resorts around North Wales, there is even a bus stop right outside that takes you into LLandudno if that takes your fancy. The hot tub was a real welcome at the end of a busy day. Special mention to Graham for providing one of the highlights of Marija's holiday memories. If we could make one little suggestion, maybe a bigger fridgefreezer for the kitchen.
Valerie
The cottage and hot tub, great. Lovely welcome from owner and very kind loan of 2 walking sticks from owner also. Only problem was very steep, long access from parking to cottage, due to fact I am disabled. My gentle advice is to make sure this is clearer in booking description to avoid any future problems if disabled persons book what is mostly a lovely place to stay, lovely gardens, which again was not accessible to myself due to very steep access. Just add nature of steep access to description. Be perfect then. For instance wheelchair bound tenants would find access impossible. Please consider this. You are lovely people
Absolutely fantastic hosts and such a beautiful property in gorgeous surroundings could have asked for a nicer place and nicer people.
The cottage exceeded our expectations , looks better in real life than on photos . The bed is a top quality mattress, it was so comfortable. The hot tub was the best money can buy , the welcome basket was so generous with extra treats for our dogs . The owner met us with great tips on things to do in the area which we followed and we had a great time . But the bonus for us having our spaniels was being able to go on an off lead walk every morning though a private wooded back garden with hammock that lead to a walk with waterfalls . Highly recommended . We loved it here
Beautiful setting. Also a bird watchers paradise. I could have sat for hours. A lovely cosy bungalow with an open fire if required. We did on the last night. Full sky TV package too if you like your TV programmes but to be honest the hottub for us was the star of the show. After a full day out hiking and beach combing that was our delight. Very relaxed about our big hairy dog too! The house is very dog friendly too with wood floors..easier for us the keep his floof swept up. And he loved his doggy treats as much as we loved our welcome treats too! Thankyou for having us and being so helpful and kind. We found Ann's kitchen in Mochdre on the way home as suggested! You were right about the breakfast..it was to.die for! We hope to visit again soon. Jayne, David and Fen
Mine and my partners stay was nothing less than excellent from moment we arrived the hosts was very welcoming let us know all information we needed as well having it printed out waiting for us let us know of some nice places to eat in the area loved the chippy just up the road. Hot tub was divine and bed was sooo comfy and if that wasn't enough we was left a lovely welcome tray with teas coffee hot chcocolate wine fresh bread and Welsh cakes everything was perfect I can not fault the cottage on a single thing would highly recommend
Amanda
House beautifully clean. Had everything you need . Hot tub brilliant and the view is great. Lovely and warm inside. Host great nothing too much trouble. Only one gripe the settees could do with an upgrade. Would return.
Simone
We want to share a big thank you to Graham and Karen for the incredible hospitality you provided during our stay. The welcome pack and thoughtful dog treat were a delightful surprise, making us feel truly at home. The extra touch of a birthday bottle of wine for our celebration was the perfect cherry on top. Your warmth and attention to detail, along with the topclass hot tub, made our experience memorable. The cottage was perfect we had everything we needed and more. Beautiful walks from the door. Lovely local pubs and butchers on the door step. We really loved our stay. Thank you both for making it so wonderful. We already can't wait to come back!
Robert
We had a great time. The bath hot tap went faulty but was fixed in same day whilst we were out. Used the car each day on short tours. You can take the dog a walk in the morning around the back of the house and up the fairly steep garden.
Robert
Tip Top Gareth and Karen welcoming allround great hosts 5 star
Gareth and the team were very welcoming hosts and the property was absolutely lovely, great location with stunning scenery all around and I really enjoyed the use of the wood burner and hot tub, would definitely recommend!
We loved our stay at Trem Y Don. It's such a peaceful location, the log burner and hot tub were amazing. We felt instantly relaxed when we walked into the property. We will be back again I'm sure.
Fabulous place, hosts are great and lovely welcome pack Hot tub was so relaxing
Amanda
Pictures did not do the property justice, much bigger. The welcome treats a lovely surprise. Lovely comfortable bed. Hot tub was fabulous, the solar lights and music facility a bonus, even in pouring rain it was still relaxing. We didnt get to light the ready built fire as it wasnt cold enough! Lovely friendly hosts, would definitely return. 11 out of 10 for our stay
Carolyn
We had a lovely stay Trem y Don, the cottage was spacious, clean, comfortable and warm with everything we could need and more. We were met by our Host who was friendly and welcoming. The welcome pack was lovely and very appreciated by us and our dogs. The Hot Tub was fabulous and we enjoyed the log burner and games on a wet afternoon. Plenty of walking from the cottage and nearby, and loads of places to visit.The mill at Trefriw is worth a look and the walk along the river is lovely. Thank you for a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.
Really delightful place, semidetached but owners are quiet and very friendly. Had everything we wanted out of a holiday to chill out, and there's plenty to see and do in the area. Place is also dog friendly. The forest tracks out the back of the property provide some excellent walks too. Everything in the house was clean and tidy and the hot tub was clean and well maintained.
This is a lovely home to stay in and the host was very welcoming. The property is attached to the owners home, the location is perfect for visiting Llandudno, Betws Y Coed. The property itself benefits by way of sky TV and a smart TV to enable you to login to Netflix & Prime, it has a lovely hot tub with blue tooth and a seated area outside with a fire pit, it also has the most comfortable bed too comfortable I didn't want to get up!. A lovely welcome pack was provided and treats for the dogs. I would recommend to friends and family we had an enjoyable stay as did our little dogs.
