“The cottage is old world with a great log fire, everything you need is there plus more.”

The conservatory is ideal for those wet days and has wonderful views over the hills, forrest and grazing horses. There are a number of local pubs and good eating establishments near by and a great area for walking and cycling. Actually turned out to have more than we could fit into a week and will probably go back again.

“Really lovely cottage.”

Alan the host was very helpful and equipped the cottage with all necessities. Enjoyed our stay. Definately recommend it. So peaceful the area and set around lovely scenery.

- Mrs Singh, September 2019
“Very well located for exploration and exceeding well equipped for anything you might need.”

A very helpful and readily available host who did not impose but was willing and able to assist if required. The welcome goodies were second to none. Very welcoming. A very comfortable cottage and satisfying experience.

- Mr Barker, July 2019
“Lovely cottage we enjoyed our stay and the little extras left by Alan were really appreciated.”

Ideally situated for visiting beaches and attractions.We had a really relaxed holiday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

- Mr Whapplington, July 2019
“The traffic noise was intrusive at times especially if you sat outside in the lovely weather.”

The additional touches in the cottage were exceptional and thoughtful - a reading light would have been useful as I read paper backs not ebooks so it proved difficult in the ambient lighting.

- Mrs Wells, June 2019
“A wonderful place to stay with lovely scenery around the cottage.”

The cottage was very well equipped with everything you needed first class.

- Mr Groom, May 2019
“Allen is the perfect host, spoilt with wine, and choc.”

Loaded fridge with arrival essentials. Lovely spot deep in the valley.

- Mr Rozee, May 2019
“The cottage was clean and tidy, it had everything that we wanted and it was in a great location.”

Mr critchley went that extra mile because it was our honeymoon (Mr and Mrs. Stacey).

- Mr Stacey, April 2019
“Dafarn Newydd is a lovely, cosy cottage.”

The log fire was wonderful and the gift of chocolate, wine and fruit from Alan was a much appreciated touch. The only disappointment was the kitchen: the photo of it didn’t lead us to expect anything quite as small and we were surprised that there was no window in it. Cooking a Christmas dinner was very challenging given the heat and the lack of worktop space. However, we managed it and had a very pleasant stay.

- Miss Fogarty, December 2018
“Extremely well equipped cottage.”

Welcomed by Alan the owner who supplied a wonderful selection of basic food starter pack as well as wine, chocolate,fruit etc. Everything we needed was there - as well as a lovely wood burner for the chillier evenings. Great base for exploring the area.

- Mrs Waller, September 2018
“The cottage owner provides a generous "welcome pack" and is available for any advice or help that may be required but he is not "in your face".”

The cottage is of a very high standard and ideally suited to 2 - person occupation. The location is ideal for sightseeing N-S-E or West of this base. There is a wealth of local information available for reference within the property. We had a very enjoyable stay in Dafarn Newedd.

- Mr Mcdonald, September 2018
“A great base for exploring the area.”

A week isn't long enough. A lovely cottage with lots of treats provided for our stay. The garden was beautiful, it's just a shame the road can be a bit noisy at times. Very comfortable bed and a good shower. Kitchen was cosy but practical.

- Mrs Watson, August 2018
“Beautiful location and gorgeous old cottage had a really enjoyable stay”

- Mr Nesbitt, June 2018
“Such a relaxing home from home, the view & local wildlife enhance the experience and Alan, the owner, has thought of absolutely everything, in fact he positively spoils you.”

- Mrs Davies, April 2018
“Such a lovely little cottage fully equipped with everything you need for a restful ‘home from home’ retreat!”

We were welcomed with a premade fire, chocolate, wine, fruit baskets and basic essentials, which added to the welcome feel of the place. Picturesque surroundings, stunning walks and friendly locals helped make our stay even more special. Alan respected our privacy ( although my partner had met and spoken to him, I didn’t actually meet him until our final day!) yet, we knew he was always on hand should we have needed him. In fact, he even washed our car because (having arrived in the snow) it looked like we had been rally driving in it!! We didn’t realise at first, then we noticed the windows were spotless as driving along. The only down side was that we needed to drive each day as the area is rural, and towns/ villages etc are spread throughout Snowdonia’s National Park ... but the views were so amazing we didn’t mind at all. Thank you again Alan for a wonderful stay and a much needed rest. Steve and Maria

“A very well-equipped cosy cottage.”

Very comfortable and enjoyable! We could easily return and were sorry to leave!

“Anniversary mini break”

A most beautiful ,and delightful cottage in a idyllic scenic location of Wales. Stunning scenery all round situated between the valley surrounded by the mountains. We had an amazing time enjoying the amenities of this lovely cottage, Lots of time to take some photography study the local areas , visit Snowdon , Dolgellau , Harlech Castle and Barmouth town . Wish we had more time to spend here. The gardens are well maintained and the cottage is immaculate. Alan has provided us with so much in the cottage : fresh milk, fruit, liquor chocolates, bread, orange juice, biscuits and fresh fruit and bread. A most generous and welcoming gesture. Everything you need is here. We would definitely come again. Comfortable King size bed and Inglenook Log Fire for cosy nights in . Nice modernised kitchen and shower room nicely equipped and quality bath linen and robes provided with heated towel rail. Enjoyed a very nice evening meal at the Brigands Inn although it was extremely quiet and we were eating on Wednesday night the food was excellent and very filling. I recommend the Welsh Roast lamb and the Roast Belly Pork delicious and the dessert to die for Sticky toffee pudding and vanilla ice cream very nice indeed.

“A very comfortable home from home holiday.”

We had a fantastic fortnight in this beautifully appointed cottage, including a very comfortable bed, super shower room, a very well equipped kitchen and Sky TV. The cottage owner has thought of everything, including a bottle of wine, bread, butter, milk etc. for our arrival. The area is excellent for walking/cycling. A wonderful cottage in a beautiful part of Wales.

“Super holiday”

Super cottage and a wonderfully peaceful holiday. We have already booked for next year. Kind regards Marilyn and Peter Billingham

“Absolutely perfect”

An truly lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and with everything you could possibly want.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, September 2012
“Beautiful cottage”

Beautifully situated cottage, recently made over to an excellent standard throughout. Lots of really personal details, such as owner's books in bookshelf and art on walls. The owner has sought to think of everything a guest might need, from the comprehensively kitted out kitchen, to board and card games in the coffeetable drawers. Complementary wine, chocolate and fruit basket on arrival made for a really great impression on what was a much-needed break for us. Highly recommended.
