  • "Perfect holiday home, very clean and comfortable, views from the lounge are amazing and just a short trip to the town, a lovely little pathway to a small beach is right opposite, great base for getting around will definitely stay again and recommend."

    (Small issue with the keysafe really tricky to get into)

  • "Perfect location to Barmouth, close enough to wander down into the town yet still feels peaceful."

    The little secret beach opposite the house is wonderful and you MUST do the panorama walk too, well worth it. Thank you so much!

    Thank you very much for your kind review Property Owner

  • "The property was lovely and clean and up to date."

    The beds were very comfortable and the shower and bathroom were brilliant. The weather all week was 18 degrees all week for October not a spot of rain. The SMART tv was brilliant. The beds were very comfy. Parking very good. No issues with road noise The Last Inn was a lovely pub and the myriddins tap for real ale lovers. Barmouth Bridge and the walk to Fairbourne and back about 4-6 miles flattish. The heating didn’t seem to come on through the radiators but my partner was convinced it was underfloor heating as we were never cold. Great trip value for money will book again the week just flew by.

  • "A brilliant stay at Borthwen, it's ideally situated for Barmouth ( 20mins a incline on way back)."

    The local train to Harlech, Fairbourne & Tywyn meant we could leave the car. Borthwen is spacious & comfortable, great communication from Heath when we had a query. The panorama road/walk is right next door. Barmouth has a wonderful beach & independent shops loved the bakery next to the mermaid fish shop. We ate out a couple of times at the barmouth hotel lovely meals good sized portions.

    Location fab, the only tiny thing I would like to mention is the lack of a rack for grill pan ,difficult when trying to cook bacon etc

  • "Good spacious accommodation with parking at the side or in the garage."

    Comfortable beds, good kitchen but would need more china and glasses for a larger group, bathroom nice and clean. Well situated as only a few minutes walk into Barmouth, and close to the bridge over to Fairbourne. Quite a lot of traffic noise at busy times, and cars turning on the frontage, which is a shame. Lovely walks from the property over the hills at the back of Barmouth, and across the bridge, wonderful views. We only used our car once, and it was nice to know it was securely parked.

  • "Property only 3 star."

    Soon as you enter the property there is a strong damp musty smell on the ground floor, also present in the downstairs bedroom. Fortunately we did not need to use this bedroom. Traffic noise ever present being close to the main road. No outside space at all to sit and relax unless you don't mind sitting near to the road. Property needs a proper clean as we did find 3 old chips/french fries behind the waste bin in the kitchen, toe nail clippings in one of the bedrooms, crumbs under the kitchen table and some cold tea in a teapot in a kitchen cupboard I wouldn't stay there again.

  • "Lovely stay at Borthwen."

    The accommodation itself was very clean and spacious and we all thought the beds/mattresses were fantastic. The location of the accommodation is just brilliant, with shops and beach just a short stroll away. Barmouth is a lovely dog friendly town. There are plenty of scenic walks from the door step and a plethora of pubs and cafes to choose from, for refreshments. We would definitely return to Barmouth and wouldn't hesitate in booking this properly again.

  • "Property is in an Excellent location if you want to be near the beach/Barmouth centre."

    Plenty of off road parking which is also a plus for Barmouth. Paid £700 in July for 4 nights & a bit dissapointed that there was no hair dryer or welcome pack & we had to purchase toilet rolls after 2 days. My daughter stayed in the downstairs bedroom with her son & she said it smelt of damp. I think a carpet in the entrance hallway would make it a bit cosier. Very large garage for storing your bikes is a plus.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. A hairdryer is a personal item that we wouldn’t provide in the cottage but I must apologise that there was no welcome pack. As Borthwen is a self-catering cottage we only provide toilet roll so there is some on your arrival. We wouldn’t provide it for an entire stay. I can only apologise that you smelt damp in the down stairs bedroom, we do ask that if a guest isn’t happy about something, they contact us immediately so we can try to rectify the problem. Thanks again for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Perfect location to visit Barmouth and area and good to have parking."

    Very clean, spacious and comfortable property with everything we needed. Lovely views and short walk into town. We really enjoyed our stay but have a few suggestions to add - An information/welcome pack would be helpful for new visitors - eg local map, how to use equipment in property. A small heater in downstairs toilet would be an advantage on cold days.
