“The cottage was lovely,perfect for couples.”

The accommodation is half of a renovated property and not the whole cottage.

The accommodation is half of a renovated property and not the whole cottage. We enjoyed our stay.

- Ms Haynes, September 2019
Mrs Richards June 2019

“This is a lovely little cottage, in a very rural setting.”

The nearest village is over a mile away down a single track road and this suited us just fine. The cottage was well set out, clean and tidy when we arrived and the landlord came to greet us. The surrounding area is an ideal base for anyone wishing to explore North West Wales, especially on foot. All the necessary facilities such as shop, post office and garage are available in the local village with more facilities available in Harlech and Barmouth, which are just a few miles away.

- Mrs Richards, June 2019
Mr Worsdale June 2019

“The cottage is extremely well kept and in a lovely location.”

The owners are very friendly, but do leave you to your own. Devices.

Mrs Thorne June 2019

“Lovely cottage in great location for us as we could do lots of walks from the front door.”

Only slight grumbles we have lack of loo roll, fortunately I never go to any cottage without some so we had some until we went shopping. Also there was a washing machine in the property and it would have been nice to have a clothes horse to dry stuff on as the weather wasn't great for drying out doors. apart from that absolutely great, lovely and warm and cosy, comfy sofa and bed and the shower was good (needs a bit of bleach on the tiles and seals but nothing nasty). We are certainly thinking a return trip is in order.

- Mrs Thorne, June 2019
Mr Clark June 2019

“Small delightful cottage tucked away in a secluded working farm.”

Beautiful views, with walks for the dog (and us) outside the farm gates. Narrow lanes, you must be good at reversing. But the lane are mostly very quiet with the occasional walker, (and sheep)

- Mr Clark, June 2019
Mr Morgan May 2019

“Lovely location.”

Relatively straightforward to find although might be a challenge in the dark as sat nav ends a few hundred metres from the property. A brown sign could be helpful at the bottom of the hill. A great place for two people. Very cosy traditional farmhouse cottage.

- Mr Morgan, May 2019
Mr Thomas September 2018

“A lovely place to relax and enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside, away from the bustle of everyday life.”

The cake and milk to welcome us was a lovely surprise......thank you. Had some great walks in the hills and our dog, Cymro, thoroughly enjoyed the many vast stretches of sandy, dog friendly beaches. We had a wonderful break and sort of appreciated the fact there was no phone signal.....escape?.....freedom? ......peace!

- Mr Thomas, September 2018
Mrs Mitchell August 2018

Just spent a week in this lovely cottage. Owner was great and the cottage was furnished really nicely with a lovely comfy sofa.

Ms Watts September 2016

“The cottage is in a Peaceful and beautiful setting.”

Local shop with butcher and petrol station 5 minutes drive. Lovely local beaches. Waterfall and nature trail 10 mins . Owners helpful and lovely.

- Ms Watts, September 2016
Mr Daniels September 2016

“A clothes airer, or a tumble drier, would go a long way to improving the experience.”

It is an old, if not unattractive, building in a very damp part of the world. Drying clothes was a challenge, not least as it was a typically damp week - and there was at times water visible on the walls in places.

- Mr Daniels, September 2016
Mrs Nock August 2016

“summer break”

The wife found this lovely little cottage in the middle of nowhere in North Wales. It has one lovely bedroom on suite up on two flights of carpeted stone steps with hand rails. The sitting room is quite big withTV , audio equipmemt , reclining two seater settee, arm chairs and electric fire also access to WiFi. It's very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with all the usual electrical equipment together with a washing machine which comes in handy. It has parking space for at least four cars and it's just outside the cottage. The place is so remote and safe, you could leave the front door unlock when you go out. The owners are very nice and friendly they even welcome us with a home bake cake. The wife and I had thoroughly felt relaxed and had enjoyed ourselves ! I would have given it a five star rating but for the fact that there is no signals or reception for the mobile phones !
