- Mr Ison, June 2019
“Fantastic location surrounded by stunning scenery.”

Cottage was very well equipped and spacious. The cake upon arrival was an added bonus & went down very well, thank you!. Owners son very friendly & helpful. Unfortunately there were also some negatives which would prevent a return visit - firstly the level of cleanliness was not good; at first glance it's fine but look a little closer & you realise a proper clean is overdue. Secondly, the mattresses are of a poor quality & difficult to get conformable on. Finally the front door lock needs fixing & therefore didn't get used

“Our 2nd stay.”

This is a great cottage in the heart of the hills above Harlech. The river is wonderful, walking fantastic the peace and quiet perfect

- Mrs Marshall, April 2019
“This is a wonderful holiday cottage.”

Excellently kitted out, clean, and tidy. It has a lovely wood burner fire and there are electric storage heaters in the living room and bedrooms. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location is in the beautiful Arto valley surrounded by rugged mountains with spectacular views. We have stayed at Y Bwythyn three years in succession.

- Mr Hewitt, April 2019
“Best holiday cottage ever.”

Just what we wanted. Thank you Mrs. Hughes, you're a gem!!!!

- Mrs Mee, December 2018
“We had a magical few days.”

A warm welcome with a fantastic homemade Victoria sponge cake. Cottage was great. But the magic is that this has to be the best of real Wales. The road from Llanbedr to Cym Buchan is beyond compare, antient Welsh Oak trees, the river, the brooding mountains. Great walking country. In Autumn the colours were amazing. I recommend that you stay here and enjoy.

- Mrs Marshall, October 2018
“This was our second visit to Y Bwthyn, we enjoyed our stay so much last year that we returned for another early Autumn break this year too.”

It's a real home from home, very well equipped and cosy. we had 3 storms blow through while we were there, but the double glazing and wood burner ensured we were cosy and warm. The remote location provided all the peace and quiet, and beautiful scenery which make for a very relaxing time. Mrs Hughes, the owner, is very friendly, welcoming and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. I'm sure we'll be back for a 3rd visit!

- Mrs Tong, September 2018
“Peace and tranquility, roads are very narrow leading up the mountain to the cottage, dog friendly beaches near by.”

- Mr Male, July 2018
“A beautifully situated cottage and well equipped.”

Only book this cottage if you have a confident driver who doesn't mind reversing in narrow roads.

- Mr Gaskell, July 2018
“The cottage was so well equipped, we had everything we expected and needed and more.”

The cottage was clean and spacious and the owners made us feel welcome and at home immediately. We were also left with tea, coffee, milk, eggs and a home made cake. We couldn’t have asked for more and have already booked up for next year.

- Mr Ison, June 2018
“Wow, what can we say about this beautiful place.”

Set in the breathe taking mountains on a working sheep and cattle farm. You can hear the river which is just across the road from the cottage. The cottage it’s self is very quaint, has everything you need, you have to get is food. Only qualm is the double bed was a bit hard for us but that is a personal preference. The family who own the place are very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The homemade cake that was left for us was delicious. The walks in the local area are stunning. Will will definitely return for another stay.

- Mrs Sarre, April 2018
“The cottage if excellent.”

Very well kitted out with everything you need. It is warm and cosy and comfortable. The owners are very helpful and friendly. The location is wonderful.

- Mr Hewitt, April 2018
“When we arrived the shower did not work.”

The cottage is remote so there was no mobile signal. The following day the owners were called, and as promised the shower was working when we returned. However, to obtain even warm water the flow was little more than a drip. The owner should invest in a shower unit that works. The bath water delivered was of a rustic colour. Probably no big deal but not what most travellers will be used to. Also the volume of hot water was insufficient for the three of us to have a bath without a considerable wait. Come on Mrs Hughes, this is 2018. Put your hand in your pocket and provide a decent supply of hot water via both shower and bath.

- Mr Wood, April 2018
“Fantastic hill farm cottage in beautifull scenic valley.”

Isolated bliss with all mod cons. Inc. Wi-fi. Lovely walks yet 5mins to civilization by car. Will definitely go again.

- Mr Gray, September 2017
“Lovely welcome.”

Cottage had everything we needed. Slow cooker microwave washer etc. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you Mrs and Mr Hughes. And the Cake was great.

- Miss Jackson, July 2017
“Peaceful ,comfortable, ideal location for visiting Snowdonia.”

We were greeted with welsh cakes they were scrumptious. Although we were told the water was from a spring and may be discolored, we could taste nothing different to our own tap water. we felt that we were catered for in every way and would recommend this cottage to any one and everyone. We would like to say a really big thank you to the owners,they did us proud. The cottage is located 3 miles from Llanbedr, down some narrow country lanes, it is off the beaten track really quiet, it is also very cosy and warm. Brian & Patricia Farthing / Alan & Julie Frost

“Ideally located getaway”

The cottage is located on a 500 acre sheep farm in the middle of Snowdonia.It is attached to the farmhouse. The farmer and his wife are lovely people and invited us in to the farm several times. The cottage has 2 bedrooms, a log burning fire in the living room and a fully fitted kitchen/diner. The nearest village is 3 miles away along a very winding road that is single track for about 2 miles.Harlech is a short drive away and the towns of Porthmadog and Barmouth are worth a visit.The roads to all these towns has spectacular views.All in all we had an different but unforgettable holiday. Really enjoyed it.

About the location

LLANBEDR

Harlech 3 miles; Barmouth 8 miles.

The pretty village of Llanbedr quietly nestles in ancient woodland between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline. Situated next to the beautiful River Artro, and boasting a mild climate due to its unusual positioning behind the high dunes of a nature reserve, this charming village has an exciting array of wildlife and birds, handy local shops, bike hire and mountain walks on your doorstep, as well as two excellent pubs. The small town of Harlech is just 3 miles away and boasts the World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle, a majestic 13th century stronghold, the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants and the most magnificent six-mile long sandy beach, perfect for wonderful walks and family fun. Nearby Barmouth offers the amazing Panorama Walk along the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, providing breathtaking vistas, which were described by John Ruskin as “the most sublime view in Europe” and also a harbour from which you can catch a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway, or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.
