"The location and views from the cottage were as stunning as expected."
Found it with ease even though quite remote. As advised phone signal was non-existant, not that it mattered, although able to connect to cottage wi-fi for internet connection. A lovely homemade cake awaited us. The beds were extremely comfortable, as were the reclining chairs. The only thing which let the stay down was the fact that we could not use the log fire, which we were so looking forward to. The door is broken and yet to be fixed. A great weekend with trips to Barmouth, Harlech, Beddgelert and the fascinating Osprey centre. The eggs are due to hatch in late May, so definitely worth a visit then.

"We really enjoyed our stay."
Lovely cottage, very clean, very comfy beds and very warm. (Log burner not working, but plenty of heaters available if needed). Brilliant utility room for the dog! Great hosts and gorgeous cake on arrival. The cottage is in a beautiful location and the walking is fantastic.
Only point to note is that Wi-Fi is quite patchy and intermittent and much better in one of the upstairs bedrooms. We will definitely return. A lovely find!

"This is the third time visited to this cottage."
It was very nice to meet Mrs. Hughes and thank her for her lovely cakes. Nice to know that someone was next door and yet still retaining our privacy. The only really down side of the property was the log burner not working properly.

8 September no electricity due to a previous fault and works being carried out
No Wifi in the cottage, also due to a previous storm
Television was not up to standard, not receiving all channels and poor reception
Cottage was very sparse, but were told that all nick nacks had to be removed due to Covid 19, looked very bare
Very remote and road very narrow to the cottage
We expected a working farm and were very disappointed that there were just a few sheep grazing now and again near the cottage
Did not get to meet the owner, who was not even living on the premises
Beds not very comfortable, mattresses to thin

"This cottage suited us perfectly, with everything we needed."
Mrs Hughes contacted ahead of our holiday to let us know of a couple of issues which didn't affect us anyway. Cottage had everything we needed with the exception of a landline phone - there is no signal, and with the WiFi out of action if we needed to be contacted there was no way to do so.

"Amazing holiday."
Cottage is stunning and so comfortable. We were greeted with a delicious cake and the cottage was immaculate. Didn't want to come home. 3 miles to nearest pub and shop and around 10 miles from barmouth town. Narrow country lanes but that didn't bother us. Would highly recommend

"The cottage was gorgeous, clean, had everything you would need, washing up liquid, tea towels, tea bags, sugar, coffee and Mrs Hughes made a fantastic Victoria sponge cake she also left us milk in the fridge."
She also left us 2 bottles of water. As it was very hot we had to go and buy a lot more water, we were surprised that the water came from a well,and of course you couldn’t drink it.So we had to buy rather a lot as we had 3 small dogs. Even though the directions were good we missed the Cottages’s we were looking for the name “Y Bwthyn”and ended up at the Roman Steps!!! We turned back and it was hard to find as the cottage had no name, only recognised by the picture on my phone. We did have trouble with the shower very intermittent and the single track road was a bit scary to start with, but loved the cottage.

"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

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.

"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.

"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!

"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.

"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.
