Reviews for Craig Ddu
Review 1：We stayed for one night at the Craig Ddu and were very impressed with everything about our stay. The property was beautiful and very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the full English breakfast was fantastic. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again if we are back in Wales.
Review 2：And all round very impressive place to stay, immaculate throughout and very friendly owners. I would strongly recommend anybody visiting the area to stay here
Review 3：Some minor issues connecting to wifi in our room, might be just out of range of router.
Review 4：Beautiful facility and welcoming staff who were happy to suggest ideas on what we could do and where to go.
Review 5：Booking.com had not mentioned they did not take a credit card. We were able to pay, but wish we had known before so we could have planned.
Review 6：Beautiful, almost new purpose built house. Spotlessly clean, great breakfast and very welcoming hosts.
Review 7：The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were very clean and modern. Its a great place to stay with a great breakfast, and nice views.
Review 8：Would have been nice to have a shower in the room so that we didn't have to fill the bath up several times but this is only a minor thing.
Review 9：Amazing place. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Felt very welcome and comfortable.
Review 10：Not really had a bad experience as such but would not recommend the hotel down in the town
Review 11：Difficult to say really you need to travel by car to visit places really enjoyed visiting Portmerion
Review 12：exceptionally welcoming especially given the lateness of our arrival. very friendly in general, lovely breakfast. Highly recommended as a B&B base for exploring Snowdonia and it's wealth of natural wonders.
Review 13：Have just left following a lovely 2 day stay at this smashing bed and breakfast. Our time here was honestly perfect with great accommodation, lovely breakfast and friendly hosts. We will be back to Bleanau Ffestiniog and Craig Ddu
Review 14：They where doing construction outside at the entrance.
Review 15：Warm welcome, modern standards, stunning village looking at a piek of mountain, would stay again.
Review 16：A minor inconvenience, but there wasn't a shelf or cupboard in the bathroom so had to put toiletries on the floor.
Review 17：High quality accommodation at a reasonable price.
Review 18：Fantastic welcome with really friendly hosts. The room was spacious, well decorated and impeccably clean. The breakfast was also delicious and all in all we were made to feel very welcome!
Review 19：Lovely property, very comfortable and incredibly clean. We enjoyed our stay very much and will choose Craig DDU again if we ever travel back to Wales.
Review 20：The approach to the property doesn't reflect how nice the interior is, but this isn't totally in the control of the hosts. It was cash only, something for future guests to be aware of
Review 21：The hosts went the extra mile to provide me with a vegan breakfast. We didn't travel with our children, but if we had they would have loved the slide and swing in the enclosed garden. The property is pretty new and therefore very spacious, clean and comfortable. For the price of the room we were happy to not have a spectacular view, and this was easily rectified by walking 200 metres down the road.
Review 22：Nothing at all
Review 23：The location was just off the main route through the village so a lovely setting. The building was modern and fresh and the breakfast was incredibly tasty with a nice selection (cereal, yoghurts, toast, full english)
Review 24：So clean, hospital wards are put to shame
Review 25：Everything was perfect - wonderful stay, host was very helpful but not prying. Great location with fantastic hills nearby. The accommodation has been around for only a year but they're doing an excellent job.
Review 26：What an exceptional place! We stayed here for 4 nights in June. The hosts were fantastic, the rooms very clean and modern. Breakfast was superb. A nice walk to pubs and restaurants. A pleasant town without all the touristy clutter of Betwys-y-coed. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Review 27：To be fair there was nothing i didnt like. For what i paid, what i got was excellent.
Review 28：Great location. After a tiring day at zip world, this b n b is located only a 10 min drive away. Its close to cash machine, supermarket, eateries. Great hill view from the room. Nice and peaceful. Room was basic but pleasant and spotless. Every thing you needed. Great value for money. Breakfast was everything you need. Most comfortable bed ever too by the way!
Review 29：I have no negative comments.
Review 30：The owners were very friendly and the place was spotlessly clean and very well kept, comfortable, peaceful and breakfast was first class. We would definitely recommend it and would stay there time and time again.
Review 31：The place was a little hard to find and we needed to ask the locals for directions.
Review 32：Craig Ddu is a new, family run b & b situated in a village with stunning mountain scenery. Our host was welcoming and her hot breakfast was delicious and kept us going for most of the day. The bed was comfortable and the place was immaculate.
Review 33：Everything. A warm friendly welcoming bed and breakfast, but furnished to an very high standard indeed. The room was lovely, and had a good bathroom, including a bath, nice views over the town and can't really fault anything at all. Wi-fi + TV good also.
Review 34：Really enjoyed the stay here. Good location for zip wire / bounce below and other activities. Breakfast was delicious after a good night sleep and shower pressure was great.
Review 35：Nothing!
Review 36：Food was amazing (cooked to perfection) and the hosts kindly offered to cook us different veggie options every morning. The house was kept beautifully tidy and clean, along with our room which was basically spotless (cleaned every morning of our 4 night stay). The hosts were friendly and accommodating, giving us ideas for walks, activities and places to eat. We would definitely stay here again.
Review 37：I couldn't get the wifi to work but my fiancée did. However we were in the room for such a short period that it didn't matter.
Review 38：The location was perfect for our Bounce Below trip as I believe it was only a 6 minute drive away. House was amazing and immaculate! Staff couldn't have been friendlier. Would definitely stay again if travelling to the area again.
Review 39：Extremely hot in the night. Kettle in the room was grim and needed replacing
Review 40：Beautifully presented B&B Spacious, comfortable room Very quiet location but ideal for Zip World and Bounce Below
Review 41：It was hard to find as there was no indication of the name on the road. A phone call sorted it easily enough.
Review 42：Craig Ddu was convenient for a short stay in Blaenau Ffestiniog. The owner was friendly and very helpful and the facilities were excellent.
Review 43：If you are after an old fashioned, traditional looking B&B, then this is not the place for you. But this did not bother me in the slightest.
Review 44：Lovely owner called Debra, comfy bed, nice hot shower (the bathroom suite looked like it was installed last week!), perfectly clean/spotless room. Breakfast included was cereals, fruit, yogurt & full fry up. Five minute drive from Bounce Below/Zipworld Titan. Would definitely recommend Craig Ddu.
Review 45：Only one thing there isn't loads of choice for local restaurants it is just a small town which is nice and peaceful with a few pubs/hotels/takeaways which was fine for us. Betws y coed is about 20mins if you don't mind driving or paying out a bit for a taxi like I say it wasn't a big problem for us.
Review 46：Ed and Debra were lovely, from a warm welcome to leaving mince pies in the room and Ed offering to drive us to a hotel restaurant as well as buying us a drink when we saw him in the local pub. Spacious comfy room, lovely breakfast, good location for snowdon and other attractions, pub has just opened 5 mins down the road.
Review 47：A very minor point but just beware of hitting your head on the sloping ceiling....I did it three times, but maybe that's because I'm clumsy!
Review 48：Lovely clean room. Modern, simple yet comfortable accessories and furniture in the large room. Very good, powerful shower. The hosts were kind and helpful. It's a fairly short walk into town.
Review 49：We are not fans of having to pick a specific time and choice of food for breakfast the evening before (although we do understand how that makes life easier for the owners) particularly as we didn't see them the next day so had to stick with the same choices the following morning also. It might be helpful to provide a breakfast ordering menu in the room so an alteration could be made if needed.
Review 50：Ideal location for where we wanted to be and in a lovely quiet spot although there aren't any pubs/restauarants/shops within comfortable walking distance which is a slight drawback. The room is very spacious which is always good for a family room. The owners are very friendly and we would certainly visit again.
Review 51：Nothing to dislike
Review 52：Everything about our stay was most pleasurable & will hope that we can stay here again the next time we visit Blaenau Ffestiniog
Review 53：No iron in the room Would be nice to have shower gel supplied
Review 54：The location to Zip Line and Bounce below was 5 minute drive away Breakfast was nice Very clean and huge rooms
Review 55：A new build property who's owners have recently entered the b+b business, lovely hosts, immaculate room and good breakfast ideally located near all the various pursuits of the Snowdonia area.
Review 56：Its hard to think of anything to moan about but after some head scratching' I would have preferred ginger nuts, as I am not a lover of custard creams.
Review 57：I was taken aback by the Craig Ddu. firstly by the setting and appearance of the place. secondly by the treat that awaited us when we went inside the place is stunning. every thing about the place was first class from the hosting to the breakfast.
Review 58：- no signs on main road, difficult to find - no places to have a supper in, beside a hotel couple of miles away - king size bed was rather a queen-size. Luckily there was another small bed where my fiancee could sleep on.
Review 59：- quiet position - very modern and clean rooms - good breakfast - very nice staff
Review 60：Basically, nothing to dislike. Take these little remarks just as proposals for optimization: - If I remember correctly, the WiFi was unprotected only - The house is 100m off high street (which is good: quiet at night!) and hence a bit hard to find; a sign on high street would be fine. But when we got lost without a Navigation device, Mr Edmund picked us up with his car.
Review 61：We stayed there 3 days, and it was excellent. Very new, very clean, very friendly, absolutely quiet at night. We would come again at any time! The house is towards the Eastern end of Blaenau-Ffestiniog, about 10-15 min to walk. Just behind the house there is an (unmarked, but) wonderful hiking-path up to disused slate mines and the lake behind Manod Bach mountain. Great and interesting walk. Blaenau-Ffestiniog is a good base for many excursions from the coast to the high mountains.
Review 62：Really minor and doesn't take away what a great place this is to stay, but a sign on the junction to show where the B&B is would be good as it's easy to miss
Review 63：Excellent location, in a lovely new building, specious room, WiFi, and a great breakfast in the morning too. Perfect location for exploring Snowdonia.
Review 64：Nothing
Review 65：This B&B is one of the best we have enjoyed. The bedroom and en-suite was perfect in every way. The whole of the property was well appointed and looked as though it had just recently been completed and furnished. Cooked breakfast way substantial and mouthwatering. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom, made for a very relaxing soak, after good a walk every day. Each of these points were reflected by Debra and Ed who by their attention to our comfort and needs, made our long weekend one to remember.
Review 66：Right outside my bedroom window was a bomb site, well actually a site being developed, possibly another holiday home,or even a home for Welsh people, so I can't really complain,live and let live,
Review 67：Very nice welcome from both hosts,could'nt do enough to make sure I was comfortable,just a pure pleasure to stay there with them.
Review 68：It was a bit hard to find, but the owner kindly came and found us.
Review 69：This was the most spacious and comfortable room we had in a B & B while travelling in the UK. Everything was spotless, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and our hosts were friendly and helpful. Blaneau Festiniog was a great central location for the things we planned to do in North Wales.
Review 70：No shower, although this was made clear before booking
Review 71：Warm and welcoming Spotlessly clean Large modern room Good variety for breakfast TV and Wi-Fi Very accommodating
Review 72：Nothing. All was nice
Review 73：The hosts were lovely and welcoming. The accommodation is relatively new, clean and has everything that you need. Breakfast was a fully cooked breakfast and beautifully served in a well appointed dining room. Easy walk into town.
Review 74：We arrived for a 2 night stay. The facilities were superb-the shower is heavenly- and the hosts were beyond kind and thoughtful. The best place to stay in North Wales! We look forward to our next visit. Thank you.
Review 75：Minor point, not the easiest place to find, just off main road, phone for directions.

Review 78：nice spacious room and good breakfast. Near the town centre. Parking space next to the door is a great plus. Very big and clean bathroom.

Review 80：Lovely large,comfortable room, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was hearty and delicious.
Review 81：Overnight stop on a mini tour of west Wales to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was made even more special by our host's at Craig Ddu B&B. The room was very comfortable, breakfast delicious and we were surprised with a nice bottle of fizz!!! Thank you Ed and Debbie.
