  • "We did find a couple of dead rats outside during our stay which we disposed of."

    Absolutely lovely cottage with fantastic facilities, would really benefit from some sheltered outdoor seating for the winter months as it’s lovely outside in all weathers! Slightly disappointed to find out after booking that dogs must remain in the kitchen as I know mine would have loved to enjoy the fire of an evening! Completely understand but I think should be pointed out in the listing, there isn’t much space in the kitchen for dogs beds as well as boots etc.

    Hi I am glad you loved the house. I will look into some suitable shelters for the outside.Under the house information we do ask dogs are kept in the kitchen as that is a tiled floor and easy to clean. Also sometimes dogs can leave an odour after being in the rain and it is difficult to remove that odour prior to the next guests arriving. Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to you staying again. we are pleased to say a 10 person pod is being installed overlooking the river so guests can take advantage of the beautiful grounds no matter the weather! Also a 6 seater wheel seat is being installed higher up behind the property so guests can sit and see the views across the valley to Cade Idris. Property Owner

  • "Our second visit this year and it was lovely, even though it was wet all week - very different to our sunny week in June."

    The creek was spectacular as the water rose, thundering past, and the views just as stunning. The garden and terraces are so well maintained, adding to the beautiful surroundings. Looking forward to staying again next year.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments it is very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks. Property Owner

  • "We have been using Sykes for a number of years and have always found the properties very good."

    Cae Lleci is a lovely property set in a beautiful area of Wales. The garden with river running through was lovely as were the walks surrounding it. The house was very clean and comfortable The table football was a bonus with the three boys. Maybe a few more table games would be good. An excellent property. Neil.

    Thank you for your great feedback. Glad the boys liked the football table. I will see what other games are available. We hope to see you all again. Kind regards Property Owner

  • "We all had a brilliant holiday with good weather, the house was so secluded & peacefull with the patio by the stream allowing us to have meals outside using the pizza oven."

    The cottage was comfortable & well equipped with lovely views towards cader idris & the surrounding countryside with the pretty stream running through next to the house. We only had one problem when whoever cut the grass allowed their dog to upend the bins & spread the waste everywhere & throw an empty drinks can down by the gate, no idea where the chicken carcass went!

    Thank you for your feedback. I have passed your comments onto the gardener although not sure whether they have a dog. It may have been a fox in that case. Thanks for letting us know and I hope it did not spoil your holiday. Property Owner

  • "Wonderful property in a beautiful position."

    This has been the ninth time that we have stayed at Cae Lleci and we have enjoyed every one. The improvements made have been worthwhile though we would have still holidayed there had it been as it formerly was. I would suggest that a possible addition to the kitchen equipment would be a steamer.

    Hi thanks for your feedback. I will make sure one is there for your next visit. I look forward to you visiting us again. Kind regards Property Owner

    Everything you could wish for was provided, to the smallest details. The owners had gone above and beyond to provide just that little extra to make a memorable stay. Of course the location alone was what made it, just breathtaking and away from all the stresses of life. A wonderful stay and we'll be back.

  • "Loved the location."

    The property was well equipped with most things you could possibly need. The only thing missing was a lobby area for hanging wet coats and boots/ shoes etc. However. I would definitely visit Cae Leici again.

    Thanks for the feedback. I have noted your comments and am fitting a set of coat pegs in the kitchen near the bread oven door to hang coats. I look forward to you staying at Caelleci again you are most welcome Property Owner

    This house is set into some beautiful scenery and countryside, the house is perfect everything you need. The river in the garden is a massive bonus. The owner contacted us ahead of our visit, to explain the house had been renovated, it was absolutely faultless. We loved every minute and will be returning. Easy access to nearby paces to explore, Snowdon Summit, Portmeirion, Bala, Barmouth, Harlech and Zip world were a few of the places we visited.

The property

Dolgellau 5.1 miles.

Tucked away on the outskirts of Llanfachreth, a stone's throw from Dolgellau, rests this striking stone-built cottage, Cae Llechi, dating back over 400 years.

Enveloped in scenic countryside and perfectly positioned to explore both the coast and country of North Wales, Cae Llechi offers an idyllic base for your next group celebration.

Follow the rural track road through the picturesque fields surrounding this lovely dwelling, leading you to a spacious gravelled driveway nestled at the foot of the property, making loading an easy task, and step through the well-maintained gardens and over the threshold into your delightful home-from-home.

Be charmed by the rustic sitting room, boasting remarkable original character, decorated with exposed stonework, wooden beams and a warming woodburning stove, inviting you to kick off your shoes and settle down for a moment of peace after an action-packed day.

The designated chef will be delighted by the amply-equipped kitchen tucked away at the rear of the property, fit with all of the modern amenities necessary to prepare a hearty meal for the group, gathering your loved ones around the table in the neighbouring dining room to indulge as you enjoy some long overdue quality time together.

In the early evening, step outside for a leisurely seat on the patio, encompassed by the stunning greenery of the surrounding countryside, providing a tranquil setting to toast a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday.

As the day draws to a close, climb the stairs where you'll find four thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, a double and two twins, all benefiting from their own television, so you can snuggle up under the covers and drift off to the sound of your favourite show, alongside a snug single room, offering an intimate escape from the excitement.

Prepare for a new day with a luxurious soak in the contemporary family bathroom, or if you'd prefer, kickstart you day with an invigorating rinse making use of the overhead shower.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and head out on foot to explore, with a host of walking opportunities available from your doorstep; join the Precipice Walk, passing through scenic woodland, meadows and farmland, boasting picturesque views across the Mawddach Estuary, or follow the cycling trails through Coed-y-Brenin.
