  • "A lovely cottage on a working farm in the gorgeous Snowdonia countryside."

    The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable and Marí a most friendly and helpful hostess.

  • "Cartref is a wonderful property."

    The kitchen/lounge/dining room and conservatory in particular are stunning. Beautifully furnished with large windows to make the most of the views and the awesome sunsets. The owners have thought of everything and are very easy to contact if you need anything, they had left some lovely edible goodies on arrival. We found the location to be a great base for touring Snowdonia, although I would have been happy to sit in Cartref for the week watching the sheep, birds and the view. We had a great holiday and felt Cartref was a 'home from home'.

  • "A wonderful stay at the Cartref."

    The host was more than accommodating and very responsive to any queries. Situated in a perfect location for long walks from the door-step, excellent access to a wide range of activities and attractions all within a one hour drive made this house a great base from which to explore all of North Wales! A generous welcome gift and a Christmas tree for the festive period made it all the more special. The beds and lounging furniture were very comfortable, allowing for a relaxing break that was much needed. Beautiful decor with attention to detail. Our hosts went above and beyond in every aspect and I would highly recommend to others. Thank you ❤️

    It was lovely for Mari to phone a few days before we arrived to introduce themselves. An amazing surprise with the welcome pack on arrival. So wonderful and kind for the goodies for my daughters Guide Dog as well. It was lovely to meet Mari and Rhys and to know if we needed anything, they were just a message/phone call away. We all can’t wait to return to Cartref for another relaxing and amazing time away. The time away in beautiful Cartref was amazing and the views were stunning.

  • "What an absolutely fantastic property."

    Cartref provided everything we were looking for, and more! It's beautifully designed & built, tastefully decorated, VERY well equipped (including kitchen utensils, games, books, local information leaflets, etc.) and extremely comfortable, with stunning views of the countryside from every window! You could simply sit there for hours and never get bored watching the changing weather coming in over the mountains. Also, the two calves resident in the field outside were an absolute delight to see each day. The owners couldn't have been more considerate, and were keen to ensure that we had everything we needed (having already provided us with a gorgeous welcome pack of biscuits, crisps, sweets, cookies, beer, G&T, and a range of tea bags!) On holiday with my partner's 93-year-old mother, it was reassuring to know that there weren't any stairs for her to climb, and the rooms are very spacious so no worries about bumping into furniture either. I needed to work during the day, so was very pleased with the wifi connection, particularly in such a remote area. I enjoyed the pool table in an evening too! The location is great for going out of the door to explore the local area, or for taking a short drive to local towns or even to the coast. I honestly think that this place would look spectacular in any/every season and hope to return to find out for myself!

    The views are breathtaking from the living and garden rooms. Two large double rooms and a twin room. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Outside area is beautifully present with a picnic table and bistro set. Good location to climb Snowdon about 45 minute drive to the rangers trail.

    I don't think I've ever stayed in a cleaner cottage. The owners have clearly spent a lot of time and love making it completely perfect. It's definitely been done up with families in mind and has everything you could need to create a great holiday. The views from all sides are incredible as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others. If i could give it 6 stars I would.

  • "The cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and well-equipped; the views from the property were absolutely fabulous, and the location was ideal - isolated but close to plenty of activities."

    Mountain biking a couple of miles down the road (brilliant, and for all levels - bring your own helmet!), Barmouth beach relatively close, and Harlech Castle and beach not far. And if you want walks, we did some easy walking from the cottage towards the Rhinogs, drove a couple of miles then walked up Rhinog Fawr (an effort, the top being visible from the cottage) and went towards Barmouth to walk the New Precipice Walk (amazing views). Local owner's, Mari and Rhys, came to say hello and were contactable during the stay with any questions, although the cottage contained all the practical information and things to do that you could possibly want. Such friendly and lovely hosts who made us feel really welcome...thank you! Nice welcome basket of treats too!! :) We had a wonderful holiday. Little surprise this cottage has such great reviews!

  • "Lots of reviews have already covered the details of this property, but I'd like to share a couple of highlights."

    We stayed as a family of 4 (plus baby) and the property is simply exceptional. The owners haven't spared any cost throughout and have put real emotional effort into the property and it shows. Mari and Rhys (along with the boys and sheep outside!) are wonderful hosts. They were so welcoming and on hand throughout our stay - really friendly without being imposing like some hosts can be. - a big wow moment for us was sliding open the large french patio doors in the living room and bringing North Wales into it (yes the blue sky and mountains you see in the main living room picture). It was so pleasant to have the doors open whilst we lounged or had our dinner. - the games room adds another dimension to the property, and gave us another relaxing space to unwind. - the entire house is finished to a very high standard, is clean and spacious and tastefully decorated. The location is brilliant - it's quiet and away from immediate neighbours, lots of parking, and the main road leads to various attractions. Coed y brenin forest park which is 3 minutes drive is a great family spot. The experience Mari and Rhys have created here is simply one of the best in North Wales.

Gather snacks from the beautiful stone-coloured kitchen units or prepare a delicious three course diner to be delighted in at the oak dining table, with the help of the many contemporary appliances that sit under the stunning brown worktops.

Retreat to the family bathroom for a relaxing soak in the bathtub, enjoying a moment of peace and quiet before an entertaining evening indoors.

Spend the rest of the evening snuggled on the sofas in the conservatory, whilst admiring the views from the large windows and sipping on a refreshing glass of fizz, as the children enjoy a game of pool or a board game.

When the sun is shining and the weather is warm, indulge is some alfresco dining at the outdoor seating area as you admire the views of the countryside.

Navigate your way towards the bedrooms, each decorated with calming muted tones and finished with a Smart TV, where guests can unpack their belongings into the storage provided, making themselves feel right at home.
