Sgubor Reviews

Alastair
An excellent property and super location. Really enjoyed our stay and Im sure Ill go back.
Beautiful views and hot tubwe were disappointed to hear on our last day that we couldn't use the hot tub after 12pm as it had to be cleaned for next people which is great, however we felt this should be done at 9. 30am the time we leave as this really spoilt our last night. Also this time there were an awful lot of flies which was really annoying.
Saffra
Beautiful Barn! We had a lovely stay and would definitely return! Really spacious but also cosy... gorgeous view over to Foel Goch from the kitchen which I could look at all day long. Plenty of space for multiple cars and quick access from main road, yet it is still surprising quiet. We stayed at a quiet time of year but because there are five cottages close together, I can see that if you had a noisy neighbour, that might disrupt the countryside peace but I think most people would be respectful. Having a hot tub was such a treat, we stayed during the crazy heat wave so the lovely owner showed us how to turn it down to make it cool...that was perfect because then after a hot day of hiking or exploring, we could get in and cool down straight away. Then when it got cooler later in our stay, we increased the hot tub temperature again. Loads of storage and had everything you needed. We moved to the downstairs room as it is was way cooler during heat wave then upstairs room. Massive fridge and freezer was ideal as we cook a lot due to diet issues. WIF was good too. TV great size and lovely to have TVs in bedrooms too. Having to bring our own towels wasn't a problem for us but I can see that it might not be ideal for others. A bottle of chilled wine was left for us in the fridge for our arrival which was a lovely touch. The location is fab, we normally stay more centrally near llanberis in the higher mountains because I'm a trainee ML but we wanted to explore some of the smaller, more quiet mountain ranges so this made it a ideal location. It's about half an hour drive to bets. The only tiny suggestions that would make it perfect would be black out curtains in the bedrooms or at least darker curtains as during summer days, the light streams in opposite the beds very early and if your a light sleeper the you just end up waking early every morning. Also the beds are super comfy but very squeaky, the bolts just need tightening on the bed frames and that would solve that issue . But a really really lovely place and would definitely stay again! Thanks Elliw
Rachel
Could do with booklet, how to work stuff, cooker,heating etc. some brochures for days out, as such a lovely quiet place. The views are spectacular, everything you need has been thought about. Great as downstairs bathroom and toilet. There was only two of us, so didnt use upstairs, as hubby disabled, but looked lovely.
Kaileigh
We all had a great stay at the lodge. The place was lovely, very spacious, and had everything we needed. The facilities were excellent, the views were beautiful, and the hot tub was a perfect addition to relax in. We would definitely recommend it and would happily stay again!
WOW! What a find, this cottage is one of the best we have stayed in. The wow factor was there from the first moment we walked in, comfortable furnishings, everything you could need in the kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding. Outside the covered hot tub with attached laundry room and toilet was amazing, the weather wasnt great during our stay but the hot tub was! Sgubor is a quiet haven for a relaxing get away and Country Cooks cafe all but next door does an amazing breakfast for your check out day.
Lovely quiet property, in a great location, perfect for exploring North Wales.
Great location. Brilliant hot tub. Great host
Rebecca
Celebrated my daughters 16th birthday with friends. Had an amazing time, everything was perfect. Beautiful location and the property was perfect! The owner was very helpful, we will definitely return! Thank you
We had a lovely stay at your cottage it was the perfect retreat for our honeymoon, only downsides were there were no games as advertised and it there wasn't anything nearby but it was also lovely to be secluded.
We had a fantastic week at this cottage. It was a perfect way to spend some quality time with family. The cottage itself is so airy and spacious, we loved the modern feel to it. It had everything we needed practically wise. The views out of the kitchen window were the best weve ever had, which made for another beautiful setting watching the sun go down whilst sat in the hot tub. We would like to send a personal note to the owners for allowing us to move this break a year on, as my dad had been so poorly last year when we were supposed to go my dad was able to join us thankfully and so we will be forever grateful to you for that.
Melissa
Our 4th stay at Sgubor. Lovely accommodation and area. Will be going again next year.
Beautiful property in a great location with stunning views. Clean & Comfortable. Will be booking again for sure.
Michael
We had a lovely stay and a great holiday. The home was exactly as per the listing, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Nichola
Beautiful place to stay, very relaxing, all needed facilities are near by. Absolutely gorgeous!!
This is a beautiful property and you can really tell that it has been designed with the comfort of guests in mind. Its also in a great location! We will be back!
We stayed here in April and absolutely loved it . A beautiful place to come back to after long days walking. Will definitely be coming back
Charlotte
Beautiful cottage, we had a fabulous weekend, thank you!
Antony
Lovely place loved the hot tub & log burner the host Elliw was brilliant and very helpful , views were lovely and relaxing, very peaceful too . Only thing I would have wanted was a wardrobe in the upstairs bedroom but wasnt a problem for a short stay . Definitely will be back .
We loved our 2 night stay at Sgubor. The property was beautiful and very clean. The jacuzzi under that cover looking out at stunning views was perfect. We cannot wait to return and it was the perfect property for what we needed. The only niggles we had were there's no mirror in the second bedroom which would have been very handy for getting ready, and not providing towels of any kind yes it notes that on the info but shows them on the photos. Such a bulky thing to pack and sadly a few of us forgot them. Overall a wonderful weekend
Louisa
We had a lovely stay and couldn't have wished for a better location or amenities within the cottage. There were a few things that could be improved. Maybe a visible updated welcome pack. There were a lot of spiders and bugs in the property which resulted in us all getting bitten. We have recommended this property to family and friends.
Hayley
We had the best time at Sgubor. The standard of acconodation is really top notch and felt like a real luxury break. We had awful weather most days, so the covered hot tub was an absolute godsend. The kitchen is fully equipped and the utility is super handy to keep ontop of all the wet washing from trips to the lake and the beach or muddy walks in the rain!. The view was absolutely spectacular. Throughout the day as the sky changes, the view gets even better. We came with 3 children and there was huge amounts of space for us to spread out. Yes the WiFi is a bit slow at times, it's a shame you can't use the hot tub on your last night and it would have been amazing had there been bunk beds in the downstairs room, or an option for an extra bed, so the kids didn't have to share a bed, but we had the best holiday and even sat in the hot tub, were looking at dates to book for next year! Elliw really has thoguht of everything and was so helpful and kind. One thing I would say, is take a torch or use the torch on your phone when leaving the hot tub and walk g back to the patio doors... Multiple times I forgot about the steps there and you can't see them in the dark. The accommodation was immaculately clean and really beautiful... We have been googling where the dining chairs are from!
Stephen
Sgubor is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The house is spacious and everything is of a high standard. Outdoor area with hot tub is lovely and great place to relax after a day on the hills.
Fabulous cottage in beautiful surroundings. Plenty of space both inside and out with private garden and garden furniture. Hot tub under cover. Everything we could possibly need was provided. Weather was fantastic so made good use of the barbeque! We would love to return for another stay.
Michael
Really really nice place and an extremely nice view! Will definitely be back

Vanessa
Fabulous cottage in a fabulous setting. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Would highly recommend.
Esther
Buetifull accommodation and done to a very high standard with all the comfort of a home. We rebooked to come again on the first day of our holiday. Was impresed that the hot tub was drained and cleaned on our last day so new guests have it all clean. Really private and quiet ideal for anyone wanting to escape stress.
Matthew
Hugely enjoyable stay. Beautifully appointed and furnished cottage, which provided everything for both a practical and fun, and comfortable visit. The listing was pleasingly accurate and the standard of the property was refreshingly uncompromising, from the beds and bathrooms to the style and cozy feel of the final result in every detail. A perfect location to enjoy stunning landscapes. The option to use the hot tub later on our penultimate day beyond 12 noon would have provided better value, as would removing the need to bring our own towels. None of this impacted an overwhelmingly triumphant and memorable stay.
Rhiannon
This is the third time we have stayed at these cottages. Sgubor is a fantastic cottage, amazing location with high quality facilities. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful cottage in good location, well maintained and perfect for our needs.
Sgubor is a lovely property in a stunning location. The house has everything required for a comfortable relaxing holiday. It has a great outdoor area with hot tub and BBQ. The owner is extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble would definitely recommend this property.
Absolutely fantastic cottage with beautiful views. Host could not be more accommodating. Weve booked again for next year
Barbara
WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR HOLIDAY AND WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN. IT WAS NEAR TO TRAVEL TO A FEW LOVELY PLACES AND THE WEATHER WAS TO DIE FOR WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A NICER COMBINATION. THANKS FOR LETTING US SHARE YOU LOVELY HOME.
Another relaxing stay in Sgubor. We stayed here 4 years ago and always wanted to return. its really is like a home from home a fantastic barn conversion in a really peaceful location. The views are panoramic, you cant beat sitting in the hot tub and admiring them. So much to see and do in North Wales, lots of waterfall walks and of course the stunning walks and scenery of Snowdonia. We visited Portmeirion and Llandudno this year which were stunning. We totally relax when we stay in Sgubor, so weve already rebooked for next year.
Absolutely amazing cottage. Didn't want to leave. Views to die for. Fire so so easy to light!!! An absolute perfect week away. Thank you. XxxX
Joanne
My 3 friends and I have enjoyed a fabulous, relaxing break at Sgubor. House is beautifully finished, cosy, comfortable and charming. We loved taking in the beautiful views, whilst chilling in the hot tub. Would highly recommend if your looking for a relaxing holiday. Some constructive feedback, maybe put a mirror in the down stairs bedroom, apart from this the cottage has everything you could possibly need
Danielle
Absolutly loved the property. Views were beautiful and felt like home from home. We came seperatly and poatcode lead us both to a house further up. Luckily the lady was helpful and directed us back. Would only suggest make a sign bigger or on the other side of the road. But apart from that it was a beautiful weekend with friends. Will definatly return. Thanks!
Stephanie
Great place and great location, Been to a couple of there cottages and always find this one is the best with the best and biggest view , Hottub was amazing , just wish we had a little more time to use it on the last full day. But overall very lovely place and have recommended to many people.
