The Buzzard Cottage is in a great location out in the countryside, so peaceful and quiet. The property is of a good standard with good car parking. I like the place so much this is the third time I have stayed there.

“Peaceful Retreat”

We decided that we wanted to get away from all the stress of New Year so headed to this lovely cottage as other reviewers have stated it had everything you needed and I mean everything.. The kitchen has every utensil that you could possible want, decent dvds and a great selection of books. This was the cleanest cottage I have ever stayed in you must no that feeling when you have to wash a plate or glass before you use it well everything at Buzzard was immaculate I only marked down as the bed was sooo uncomfortable I couldn't sleep in it properly if you want a beautiful location with fantastic walks on your doorstep then book this cottage I would of re-booked it there and then if it wasn't for the bed situation.

“Cottage was in a excellent location ...”

Cottage was in a excellent location only 5 minutes from the main town but tucked away so you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The cottage itself was very clean and had everything you would need for a stay.

“I have been to this property before ...”

I have been to this property before and find it's location excellent, if you like out of the way places, which I do. It's very peaceful and relaxing there. The cottage is only a few miles from Dolgellau and not far from the coast, although access is by narrow single lane roads. It is an excellent property if you have a dog, as there is an enclosed garden and lots of walking from the door step. Everything is provided and the heating is good. Great views from the rear window and if you walk about. Good off-road parking for two vehicles.

“Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Very well equipped.”

This cottage pretty much has everything you would expect and a little extra. We took our 2 children and the dog and everyone enjoyed themselves. The cottage is very well placed to do many things that Wales has to offer such as walking, cycling or enjoying the beaches of Barmouth or Harlech which are in easy reach. We arrived late in the evening but the owners had kindly left some lights on and the heating was on high and made the key available. There were plenty of kitchen utensils available and was not at all matching which suited us as it seemed that if anything got broken it could be replaced by ourselves with no charge (quite good as we had children and a dog with us!) Lots of books and games at our disposal such as chequers, monopoly, cards and many many more. The games were dated but the classics never get boring! About 40 DVDs to choose from to suit all tastes but unfortunately no kids ones. Everything was very clean from the bedding and large towels to the kitchen. There were tea towels, dishcloths, washing up liquid, cleaning fluids and loo rolls aplenty which isn't always the case in self catering. Stunning view from the main bedroom and all around the cottage with a small outside area to enjoy the scenery in a little warmer weather and also ideal for the dog. My only minor issue with this place is that the sofa in the lounge is pretty uncomfortable and could do with replacing but as I say this is a very minor gripe that in no way should put you off booking this wonderful home from home cottage.

“Excellent place for an active but quiet family weekend.”

The cottage was better than the pictures and was exactly what we were looking for, i.e. in the country, with spectacular views, but nearer enough to the essentials. Would definitely look to use the place again.

“A luxury cabin in a magnificent mountain retreat...”

The owners were friendly and helpful but not too fussy so we felt nice and relaxed as we should be on holiday. They let our unruly pet lurcher play in the field with their own lurcher so there was even a holiday romance! The cottage was like a mountain cabin - truly luxurious and a great kitchen for cooking up monster meals after a day in the hills. The bedrooms were pretty, spacious and well furnished. The setting was superb - right in the midst of the wooded mountainside and from the garden you could see the peak of Cadair Idris poking above the forests - it was more like Yosemite than Wales! You could do some great walks straight from the cottage or just venturing out for a few miles in the car although it seemed like we were staying in the deepest wilderness the town of Dolgellau was just down the road for the shops and there was even a Breton onion-seller peddling his wares in the town centre when we were there. Although the weather was a bit wet we had a magnificent week - far exceeding our expectations. The only downside was the free range cattle that roamed around the cottage at night so I couldn't take the dog out for his late night walk. Also they only do Friday to Friday bookings so we missed a day of our holiday as we can't get out of work on Friday and can't generally leave home until Saturday.

“Perfect Holiday”

This was the third time we have stayed with Mr. & Mrs Jones. The cottage, location, general conditions etc. cannot be better. We would recommend this cottage very highly.

“a peaceful retreat”

We were very pleased to be able to take a holiday at this peaceful location, booking was easy, and on arrival we were greeted with a hospitality tray which was very welcome, and a lovely homely feel to the cottage which was to a high standard. It was nice to get to meet the owners who could advise us about the area - places to go etc. The cottage was beautifully appointed, with central heating so we were nice and warm, given the time of year. Although the cottages are surrounded by the fields and countryside, which gave us a lovely view, Dolgellau was only two miles away, so very convenient for the necessary shopping. A thoroughly enjoyable week that we would love to repeat.

“Wonderful Views”

We received a friendly, warm welcome from the owner, who also lived nearby & was available if we required anything during our stay. The cottage was compact, clean with a well stocked kitchen. The location was fabulous with great views of the mountains. There were a number of interesting walks, starting right on the doorstep. The town of Dolgellau was lovely with everything we required, but a car is needed to replenish food stocks as it is quite a long, steep walk back to the cottage. We loved the views & the peaceful surroundings. If I have to find any drawbacks it is possibily that it was rather too far to walk to the pub or takeaway in the evening ! We had a lot of rain during our stay.... but even that didn't spoil our holiday..... we had a lovely time at Buzzard Cottage.
