"Such a lovely cottagewith everything you need for your stay, from the quaint living/kitchen area to the large bathroom and bedroom and in between a glass fronted corridor with views over Shell Island the sea and on a really clear day across the other side of the Peninsula toward Abersoch/Pwhelli."
Also, views to die for from a small hill outside the front door. It is very peaceful and quiet with the exception of being greeted by the two resident dogs with a friendly bark. Eirian is very welcoming an nothing is too much trouble. There is also a good welcome pack of Tea/coffee/sugar, Milk and a Bottle of Wine. All in all a perfect stay, thank you Eirian.

"A perfect cottage in every way."
Equipped to the highest standard with absolutely everything you could want or need. Extremely well thought out and everything of the highest quality. Bed and bedding was so comfortable. The shower was spacious with excellent power and really hot water, perfect after a long day walking. Ideally situated amongst the most beautiful scenery and we were so lucky with fabulous weather all week and so able to sit out on the little sheltered terrace to enjoy the views and the amazing sunsets. The owners had left a welcome package of milk, tea, coffee and sugar and some Welsh cakes and a lovely bottle of wine which was a really thoughtful touch. Cannot recommend this beautiful little cottage highly enough. A perfect place to enjoy the stunning area.

"I had a wonderful holiday."
The cottage was beyond my expectations. The views were spectacular as were the sunsets. I was in a peaceful setting which was exactly what I wanted. The beaches were really close by, were clean and great for walks. There was plenty nearby to do however, I enjoyed time in the cottage as well as visiting a few local places.
I had the best holiday and would most definitely go back and stay in Y Becws

"From a warm welcome including Welsh cakes and wine we enjoyed a peaceful comfortable stay."
The cottage was well equipped and the sheltered patio was a great spot to enjoy the sea views and evening sunsets.Despite being on a working farm and quite close to a small caravan we still felt we had our own quiet private space.
Y Becws is ideally situated to reach Barmouth the Mawldach trail Shell island Harlech and a choice of other beaches and mountains too.
The only reservation l would give is the nature of the farm track would definitely not suit a low vehicle.

"Access via a lane was challenging for my low ground clearance Mondeo."
More suited to a Range Rover type vehicle.
Shower worked but was not easily controlled and not a pleasure to use.
Lounge kitchen area on the small side. Well equipped but always required lights on as daylight was quite restricted.
Mrs Williams did respond very quickly to the water board cutting off supply for 20 hrs.

"Perfect retreat for a couple."
Outstanding views of the coast, lovely rural environment. Cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy. It needed to be during our stay as storm Agnes kept us in for a couple of days!
There is plenty of space and the layout has been well thought through for maximum comfort.
If we had to suggest anything at all it would be to fill in the potholes on the approach track please. Probably a constant problem on a hillside so visitors proceed with caution when you first arrive.
We would highly recommend this cottage and would happily return.

"We loved this little cottage."
It was so cosy and really warm. The bed was so comfortable! The cottage was in the perfect location for exploring the area; close to Barmouth and Harlech and only about 40 mins to Snowdon. The location was lovely and peaceful with views over to the sea and the flight school. I was thrilled that there were 2 resident cobs in the field nearby, who I went to see most mornings. And the owners dogs and cat were ever so friendly. Eirian and Ethan (not sure on spelling) are lovely people and always willing to have a natter and offer help if needed, though we didn't need help as the cottage is so well equipped. We will be back for sure. Dee & Chris, Devon.
