  There was nothing lacking in the accommodation or with the provisions in the fridge - a nice touch. The owners were very pleasant and helpful, but everything was in place so we didn’t need to bother them. We have now booked to go back again in the future.

  The owners were so welcoming and accommodating, with the attention to detail evident from the minute we first walked through the door. The facilities were very comfortable for all of our party and we would highly recommend it.

• "We had a lovely time and unreservedly recommend this lovely place with very welcoming hosts."

  It has wonderful views, which change with the weather, and is well located for exploring Wales. A spotlessly clean, cosy and tastefully decorated property. The accessible shower made washing the little one even easier than at home. There was plenty of space for the kids to enjoy playing together, as well as find their own space. We arrived during a bank holiday weekend, so appreciated the very thoughtful welcome pack. The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked a roast dinner). For us, the facility to charge our electric car at the property was a huge plus.

  It did not disappoint. The Cottage is clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. We shall certainly be recommending this lovely place to our friends and hope to return next year.

• "Lovely cottage."

  Very comfortable and clean. Very pleasant owners and nice they were nearby. Charging point for an EV a real boon. The no pets rule was another advantage as far as we were concerned. A dishwasher would have been a plus if there had been more than just the two of us maybe. More lighting in the kitchen and TV area would be an improvement on these darker evenings. Overall such a nice property. Thank you for all your hard work and we hope to return some time in the warmer months of 2024.

  Perfect for anyone who wants a break from a busy lifestyle in a peaceful location with everything you could need already in the cottage.

We have already recommended to family members and will definitely stay again in the future. Thank you for an amazing break.

• "This cottage was definitely one of the best I've stayed in."

  It's beautifully converted, and just right - many cottages are too fussy, or too crammed with odds and sods, but this has everything you need in its place, and no more. The welcome package of food was extremely thoughtful. I know North Wales well, and usually stay further into the mountains, but this time I went with my daughter and her friend who aren't into walking! They were also extremely happy with the cottage, and I must say the Wi-Fi works well, which is essential for 2 18 year olds. Porthmadog is well placed for a range of entertainments, and we were near enough; the actual location of the cottage is excellent, with views both of the sea and the hills. For those into beaches, there is a truly fantastic one at Morfa Bychan (Black Rock Sands.) Mr. Widdicombe is a very welcoming owner, and showed me the other cottage, which is equally impressive. I couldn't recommend this cottage any more highly.
