Mr Bonfield
September 2019

“A clean and well provisioned house.”

Stunning views and the upside-down layout works very well for this house giving a nice airy feel to the main living space. Thank you for a great stay.

Stunning views and the upside-down layout works very well for this house giving a nice airy feel to the main living space. Thank you for a great stay. The only minor quibble is it would be nice to have WiFi capability, but I still coped OK just using mobile data for looking up weather, maps, etc.

Mr Plant August 2019

“While the cottage itself was comfortable,it was not dog friendly,the garden was very small and not suitable for pets to be let out,access was poor,and there were no gates to keep them enclosed.”

- Mr Plant, August 2019
Mrs Williams August 2019

“The cottage is in a fabulous position, easy to walk into the village and fabulous views”

- Mrs Williams, August 2019
Dr Hawthorne July 2019

“Cottage makes a great base and has everything you could possibly need.”

It lacks WiFi, but you can use the dining room at the BnB next door if you're desperate. The owners clearly listen to feedback, as there are now garden chairs to use (as mentioned in an earlier review). I don't really have any practical suggestions for improvement - would certainly stay here again.

- Dr Hawthorne, July 2019
Mrs Morrison April 2019

“This cottage was very comfortable to stay in and the view is wonderful.”

- Mrs Morrison, April 2019
Mr Lloyd June 2018

“Lovely house with amazing views Dawn was a great host with fantastic communication.”

I would highly recommend staying here.

- Mr Lloyd, June 2018
Mrs Wiltshire May 2018

“Very clean inside amazing views.”

Downside was garden area accessible by very steep steps with rickety hand rail nit suitable for children elderly or disabled and difficult if you had undisciplined dogs as no security to area and it is only accessible by walking out of front door and walking round the back and up the steps not great in the dark. However my dog is well behaved and we were out all day views from cottage amazing and so for us it was a great holiday.

- Mrs Wiltshire, May 2018
Mr Cooper October 2017

“Very clean and loved the upside down living arrangements which gave beautiful views from the living room”

- Mr Cooper, October 2017
Mrs Scott July 2017

“We felt it lacked some chairs to sit outside as the weather was very good but we had a lovely week there.”

There are some really nice places to walk and everyone was friendly

- Mrs Scott, July 2017
Mrs Glassonbury April 2017

“We had a fantastic week in this beautiful part of the world.”

The property is in a lovely place and position with amazing views.

- Mrs Glassonbury, April 2017
Mr Alexander October 2016

“A lovely spacious cottage, and a perfect setting for exploring the wonderful countryside around the area, and for evenings in Dolgellau (highly recommend the Torrent Walk Inn and the Sospan restaurant).”

- Mr Alexander, October 2016
Mr Elliott September 2016

“We were met by the owner who was very friendly told us how we could contact her if there were any concerns.”

The cottage was extremely welcoming with lovely views over towards the mountains. Highly recommended as a base for local attractions

- Mr Elliott, September 2016
Mr Fenton July 2016

“The cottage was great, very roomy and bright.”

The owner was very helpful and accommodating in storing our bikes for us. I highly recommend this cottage!

- Mr Fenton, July 2016
Dr_P_Pigglestein February 2016

“Lovely place to stay: comfortable, well equipped, great location and nice views”

This is a wonderful place to stay in the Dolgellau area. It's conveniently located just outside the main Dolgellau town (although uphill on the way back), so it's in easy walking distance but there's no need to drive through the narrow streets of the town and there's somewhere to park. There are some great walks (e.g. New Precipice Walk) which can be done straight from the cottage, and others only a short drive away (e.g. Cadaer Idris). Within the cottage, the upstairs open-place living space has large windows to give great views of the town and mountain out front, and sheep and chickens at the rear! The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds comfortable for tired walkers, and it was spotlessly clean throughout. Also dog friendly!

- Dr_P_Pigglestein, February 2016
Mrs Brewer September 2015

“This cottage is an absolute gem.”

The lounge and kitchen are upstairs and makes the most of the glorious views. We would definitely recommend it everyone, the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at.

- Mrs Brewer, September 2015
Ms Toogood June 2015

“A very well equipped, comfortable cottage in an excellent position.”

- Ms Toogood, June 2015
Mrs Poulton November 2014

“A perfect location for visiting our son in Aberystwyth and also for a lovely weekend in Wales.”

We will be back many times (probably next time in February). Thankyou

- Mrs Poulton, November 2014
Mr Griggs October 2014

“The cottage has a welcoming feel about it.”

It is clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped with all we needed. The views upstairs both front and back are wonderful and we availed ourselves of many of the activities the Dolgellau area has to offer. Our neighbour was charming and very helpful.

- Mr Griggs, October 2014
Mrs Penfold October 2014

“It was very good.”

The property was warm and comfortable and the location was perfect. Can't really fault it.

- Mrs Penfold, October 2014
A Tripadvisor Member August 2014

“Fantastic views”

A very pleasant, clean and well equipped holiday cottage. A perfect base for exploring the many coastal towns and attractions. Only a short walk into town for shopping, cycle hire and restaurants. A peaceful location with wonderful views, ample car parking, and easy to find from owners/sykes directions. Would certainly hire this cottage again.

- A Tripadvisor Member, August 2014
Mr Barnard July 2014

“The property was well prepared and presented and was in a good location only a few minutes walk into the town.”

The views from the cottage were stunning.

- Mr Barnard, July 2014
Mr Barbrooke July 2014

“We were new to North Wales and we found our location perfect for travelling around the area.”

Despite that the weather forecast from the internet was not good we only encountered an hour of rain on one day. We feel that we need to revisit this area because we still feel there is lots to see.

- Mr Barbrooke, July 2014
Mr Robinson May 2014

“Very peaceful cottage, wonderful views of the mountains.”

- Mr Robinson, May 2014
Miss Graham-yooll October 2013

“The cottage was lovely and warm when we first arrived on a cold evening.”

Everything we needed was available to use. Lovely views from upstairs, which we really enjoyed at meal times. A great place to set off for beautiful walks.

- Miss Graham-yooll, October 2013
Mrs Lloyd August 2013

“We enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

The proprietor was very helpful. The cottage was very well maintained and comfortable. The cottage is located a 10 minute walk to the town centre and there is easy accessibility to local sites and attractions. The cottage was a good base from which to enjoy our many activities. A very enjoyable and relaxing holiday was had by our family. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to explore this part of Wales.

- Mrs Lloyd, August 2013
Mr Kennedy August 2013

“The cottage was fantastic, the views breathtaking from the living room, and dining area upstairs.”

Will be going back next year without hesitation.

- Mr Kennedy, August 2013
Mr Woodroffe June 2013

“The view was superb as was the general location.”

The cottage was really roomy and well presented throughout. We particularly liked the fact that it was also a small holding with animals about in the fields - we enjoyed watching the chickens! A really good place for a holiday, giving great access to some beautiful countryside. We enjoyed staying there very much.

- Mr Woodroffe, June 2013
Mrs Silverstone May 2013

“Excellent cottage, warm, comfortable and well equipped.”

The views from the upstairs living accommodation are magnificent and I enjoyed watching the calves, the lambs and the cockerel! Very close to the town, the steep hill hard work but not impossible.

- Mrs Silverstone, May 2013
A FlipKey verified reviewer January 2013

“Ideal location for hill walking in the arrans and Cadair Idris”

Basically, it was as advertised. It was comfortable, spacious, well-equipped and clean. It was well located for hill walking, the town and supermarkets etc. There were spectacular autumn colours in the valleys throughout the area. Would certainly use it again if we ever go back to that area.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2013
Mr Pollinger November 2012

“Good location for Cadair Idris, the Arans and the Rhinogs.”

It was very comfortable and just what we look for in a cottage for such a holiday. Also had nice views of the town and Cadair Idris.

- Mr Pollinger, November 2012
Mr Leith August 2012

“Location and the views from the lounge windows.”

The upside down cottage idea works really well so that you get stunning views when eating. Being next door to the owner was very useful.

- Mr Leith, August 2012
A FlipKey verified reviewer June 2012

“A wonderful week of recharging the old batteries”

The cottage is located in a great location for exploring the Snowdonian Park and the coast line, it is well provided to cater for all needs and has wonderful views from the first floor lounge/ diner. The overall experience of this holiday was first class and the cottage comes highly recommended from this party.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, June 2012
Mr Winn June 2012

“The views were as good as described, we loved seeing the range of animals at the back and the incredible views at the front.”

The cottage is in a quiet location, and there is plenty of room and equipment provided.

- Mr Winn, June 2012
Mr Shaw June 2012

“A great location with superb views.”

The owners were friendly and helpful.

- Mr Shaw, June 2012
Mrs Whitmore May 2012

“It was a very comfortable quirky cottage with fabulous views and lots of animals.”

Great walking and biking in the vicinity. We climbed Cadair Idris and the Aran Ridge. We biked the Mawwdach trail to Barmouth straight from the cottage and had great fun mountain-biking in Coed-y Brenin-forest.

- Mrs Whitmore, May 2012
Mr Craik April 2012

“Wonderful location for walking and enjoying the surrounding area.”

- Mr Craik, April 2012
Miss Kemp September 2011

“The location was excellent for walking and cycling with a good selection of pubs and shops nearby.”

- Miss Kemp, September 2011
Mrs Snowdon August 2011

“Friendly owner and a lovely view from the kitchen window - I could sit there for hours looking at the comings and goings of all the farm animals and wild rabbits.”

- Mrs Snowdon, August 2011
Mrs Bradley August 2011

“The views from the cottage were absolutely spectacular, from overlooking the valley up to the breathtaking mountains and the fields to the rear with calves and rabbits.”

We never got bored of looking out of the windows and this was maximised by the upstairs downstairs arrangement. The cottage felt modern, comfortable and clean, a home from home. The owner was pleasant and friendly but gave you complete privacy, even though only next door, and made the offer of assistance if required. The nearby Precipice Walk is a must as we saw the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen and we would like to revisit.

- Mrs Bradley, August 2011
Mr Thorn July 2011

“A lovely property set in a beautiful location!”

- Mr Thorn, July 2011
Mr Cooper June 2011

“The property was fantastic - everything was there - but when you're 70 that hill - oh dear - what a climb!”

But I should love to go again. The view was also fantastic front and back with cows, calves and rabbits.

- Mr Cooper, June 2011
