“We had a fantastic time, Ben was lovely and very helpful with ideas and suggestions on where to go locally.”

The cottage is set within the farm and the scenery is spectacular, if you’re looking for a place to escape and hide away from the day to day life then this is the perfect place for you.
Mrs Ashington August 2019

“Very nice cottage, clean and comfy.”

Full Beautiful fireplace , look fit the oven to the side , lovely . The owners are lovely Good for walking . The road to the cottage is very narrow at times with stone walls each side in parts , only three marked passing places in three miles . However, there are other places where cars can pass each other and we only met a few vehicles when we went out .
Mr Osipova August 2019

“Romantic cottage in beautifully secluded location”

The cottage is wonderfully finished to provide great comfort with an authentic feel, without being in anyway over-fussy. The secluded location completes a romantic setting. The area is great for lots of stunning hill walks and is close enough for some stunning beaches and days out. The owners are a genuine and welcoming couple and have done so much to develop the whole property. We were instantly made to feel welcome and would thoroughly recommend this for anyone looking for a scenic quiet getaway in the countryside.
Mr Emblin May 2019

“Great location, wonderful welcoming and friendly hosts.”

Cottage finished to excellent and yet unfussy standard. A perfect romantic getaway for two.
Mr Fowler April 2019

“Totally exceeded all my expectations and took my breath away with its beauty and scenery.”

The owners did everything in their power to make us feel welcome and settled. Absolutely beautiful cottage surrounded by views that are stunning!!!!
Mr Lacey April 2019

“The hosts Ben and Sandra were so welcoming and friendly and I learnt a lot about sheep farming and land ownership in Wales!”

We wish you the best of luck with the cottage business and appreciate how hard you work to do this. The cottage is perfect, well presented and perfect location if you want an escape from the "Rat Race" of everyday life. The pictures don't do the cottage justice it is very cosy, clean and well looked after, we will be returning soon! Would thoroughly recommend.
Miss Brownless March 2019

“Location is Beautiful, virtually traffic free and very rural.”

Excellent for escaping However, as I discovered not so easy when you do not have a car. Also, there were times when I could not access the internet. Need to be organized as even if you do have a car its a 20 min drive if you have forgotten anything. I love this location amazing outstanding walks and I just want to go back as a great escape. Sandra and Ben were helpful once they understood my predicament. My boyfriend loved the log burner kept us cozy I love the bath nice soak after a walk in the hills. My dog Alfie was so happy too,
Mrs Sample February 2019

Good area for walking sightseeing and heritage railways.

“Stunning”

The children and I stayed in this beautiful cottage, located near the little village of Llanbedr. We had a fantastic week staying in this cottage, which my children thought seemed magical. Especially as the cottage was located in an enchanted woodland surrounded by the beauty of nature. We had time to explore these local woodlands. This cottage is great for walkers, hikers and someone who wants to escape the rat race. So book this cottage if you fancy finding the inner Explorer in you. Enjoy the amazing mountains, woodlands, waterfalls and not forgetting the beautiful coastline... Oh an the miniature Italian village of Portmeirion, in Gwynedd My little Random Masters loved 'exploring the Enchanted forest and River Afon, Wales' I have to say the location is more beautiful when seeing it for real Anyway Baa Baa for now. I'm sure you'll love the sheep too

“If you want to be isolated this is the perfect cottage for you.”

This was a perfect cottage for us as we wanted a very quiet location. The owners could not have been nicer and the facilities provided were great, plenty of logs and coal for the fire, a superb shower and the bed was very comfortable. The dogs liked lying in front of the woodburner when we had it lit but soon moved away to a cooler part of the lounge. If you aren't used to it, the roads are a little thin and winding but you soon get used. Wouldn't recommend the back road to Harlech though.

“An amazing cottage in a very secluded location”

Looking at this cottage on the internet showed what looked like a fantastic holiday cottage! The photos do not do it justice!! The cottage is excellent, finished to a high standard and supremely comfortably. Sadly the weather was warm so there was no need to use the log burning stove (first time I've wished for cold weather on holiday which didn't involve skiing :-) But the joy of this cottage is its location. It is in a very remote location, and very secluded. Sandra and Ben were on holiday themselves while we were there so we really did have the place to ourselves. It was so quiet it was unbelievable. The surrounding countryside is superb, with walking from the door. It is well placed for Harlech, Snowdon, Barmouth etc, which can all be reached quite quickly by car. The only downside? Having to leave after a glorious relaxing week. Thanks Sandra and Ben for sharing this with us.

“the ideal getaway from civilisation”

been meaning to do a review for some time on this one. The cottage offers all you need for a break of this type (secluded) plus more, namely the best bathroom in any rental cottage anywhere. Your hosts Ben and Sandra are always very willing to help with any thing and are genuine people. We promised to revisit and we will as soon as someone stops beating us to it. This is a special little place and we cannot wait to get back there again.

“Absolutely wonderful cottage, location and 'hosts'”

This is a fantastic place to come and relax and recharge your batteries. The cottage is really comfortable, very clean and now benefits from a lovely terrace Ben has put on the back which has views over the hills and is sheltered. You could drink your morning coffee there or have dinner. The photos do the place justice to some degree but there are no pictures of the bathroom - no need to worry. It has a great shower, big bath and all the other necessities and is new and really spotless. I said to some degree, because obviously you don't get the feeling of the place...calm, tranquil and wonderfully relaxing. There is no mobile connection (which can be a benefit!) but there is Internet. The surrounding area is fantastic for walkers or people who love the outdoors - woods that look like something out of The Hobbit, forests, lakes, hills, mountains and views over Snowdonia, the Rhinogs and the sea. You can go off into the mountains here or even to the sea very easily. You can even walk to Harlech from the cottage. Ben and Sandra are lovely. They are friendly, helpful and very kind and know the area like the back of their hand. I really recommend this place - it was one of our best holidays.

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.
