"Really tremendous property, and if anything the photos don't do justice to what a beautiful location the house is in!"
Great for walks directly from the house.
Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback. We really love the Dysinni Valley and we’re so pleased that you do too. We have worked out lots of walks in the area and put them all online. Perhaps you did some of those? Property Owner

"Fabulous and we will be using this house regularly for this area of Wales."
House had all we needed and was extremely comfortable. Only reason I didn’t give full marks was I miss the comfy deck chairs in the garden.
It really was a delight to stay. Thankyou for allowing the dog.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. We are so sorry that the deckchairs weren’t out for your visit - I had forgotten to get them out after the winter. We’re very much looking forward to you returning to Peniarth Ganol and we shall make sure they are fully available for your next visit. We love the fact that you enjoy the house as much as we do.

"Lovingly restored farmhouse in the Dysynni Valley."
Lots of hardwork obviously went into making Peniarth Ganol the fabulous property it is today. The views to 'Bird Rock' are amazing and captured to their fullness from the lounge and patio. Lovely, although steep walking path to the rear of the house with panoramic vistas to the coast in the distance. Beautiful rooms with everything to need for a perfect holiday. The lambs bleeting and skipping around outside completed the experience.
One minor issue and as mentioned previously by others, the farmer sometimes closes the gate (which you have to drive through to reach the property) and does not reopen the gate, so you have to get out of your vehicle to reopen it. The ground is often 'mucky'!
Thank you so much for this really nice review. We are genuinely delighted that you had a good stay at Peniarth Ganol and that you enjoyed it as much as we do.
We do gently remind Trefor, the farmer, to leave the gate open as much as we feel we can, but he is always busy and he has a lot of other things to think about. The cows are out in the fields for the summer months, but during the winter we find it helpful for one of us to have a pair of crocs or wellies in the car to put on when opening the gate.

"This place is amazing, the property is beautiful and set in an even more beautiful location."
The shower is to die for!
The farmer who opens and closes the gate (in the description for the property) is a really lovely man. Enjoyed every minute of this holiday.
If you like quiet and not being around people at all this is the perfect location. Love it and will definitely be going back
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. And thank you very much indeed for your kind words about Trefor, the farmer. He is a real gentleman, as you say. You will be welcome back at Peniarth Ganol whenever you choose to return! Property Owner

"A truly gorgeous spacious cottage renovated to a high standard with spectacular views over the mountains, we loved watching the lambs run and skip around the fields that surround the cottage."
Lucky for us the sun shone for the first half of our holiday and dry for all but the last day you will definitely need wellies to open the gate to the farm yard if it rains. We all loved the cottage and our 2 dogs had a wonderful time.

"Ideal location with a stunning all round view."
Great facilities and well maintained house.
Few things:
Very difficult to find in the dark. Need lights at the entrance by the gate. Very dirty by the gate. Not ideal to step into the cows mess to ooen the gate. This is the draw back and for this reason I have selected the sad face for the listing and 3 for recommendations. Although there were 2 bathrooms, we could only use the downstairs one as the shower in the first floor did not have a shower holder.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback. Your suggestions are really helpful to us. We will move the light at the gate closer to the drive and ask the farmer again to keep the gate open. The cows are out in the fields for most of the year. The shower attachment is intended for use in the bath, but we will look to how we can convert it into a standing shower. Property Owner

"Penarth Ganol is a wonderful house: a sensitive restoration of a farmhouse located in a beautiful, peaceful valley."
Every thought has been given to the needs of visitors, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfort of the sofas arranged around the magnificent log burner. Nearly every window gives panoramas over the imposing hills of Snowdonia, with direct access to walks, both challenging and easy. The Cader Idris visitor centre and the start of the Minnfordd path to its summit are about twenty minutes drive away, and the charming market town of Dolgellau is a little further. A holiday house to visit again and again.
What a lovely review! Thank you ever so much. Property Owner

"This cottage really has everything for Families or couples alike."
The location is breathtaking, surrounded by fields of cows and sheep and mountains all around you. All this and only a 15 minute drive to amazing beaches. The cottage is kitted out thoughtfully with simple, good quality fittings. You really need to bring nothing other than your food and drink to this one. We had an amazing week of sunshine every day, eating outside every night. We will defiantly come back if we can. Thanks you

"A beautiful setting to be enjoyed by our family, everything was catered for, and we were very comfortable."
The beds especially gave us all a great nights sleep, and our little boy loved the cot provided.
Minor points were with the hot weather there were flys so fly spray or a swatter would be handy in the cleaning cupboard (but understand not everyone would want to use these). Also, as mentioned above the beds were extremely comfortable but we did find ourselves banging our legs on the wood sticking out around the edges… not much that can be done but wondered if the double room it could be turned around to help stop that?
Regardless, it’s definitely a lovely home and we enjoyed it thoroughly:) if we’re in the area again we’ll definitely keep it in mind.
Thank you for your very supportive review. We will be acting on your helpful suggestions! Best wishes. Property Owner

"Unbelievable."
Just book it and see. The journey to the property was amazing, the location is very off the grid and secluded, others who live close are still at a distance. Shops and amenities are within 20 minutes drive. Beautiful beaches, waterfalls, lochs all within 15 minutes drive. The property has everything you need for cooking, cleaning and enjoying your stay, games to play as well. The waterfall shower is so nice, you’ll be showering twice a day. Overly spacious for a family of 5 and 2 big dogs. Enclosed garden keeps the dogs safe, they’ll never get board in the garden. Walking routes straight from your front door. Return trip already booked, will definitely be making this a yearly trip. Thank you to the owners.

"We have been using Self Catering properties for 30 years."
Peniarth Ganol is probably our favourite in all that time.
Seclusion coupled with luxury and comfort. Lovely walks right from the door, We we’re so lucky to have an Indian Summer, so breakfast and drinks could be had outdoors on one of the 4 seating areas.
We will definitely be back to try a different time of year.

"We stayed here as a group of 7 in August 2020."
If you are looking for a remote, beautiful holiday home with everything you might need or want then this is your place. The property has been lovingly renovated by the owners with views to die for. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and cutlery. The 2 bathrooms are spacious and the shower is devine with loads of hot water. The house is so well made that the bedrooms are so quiet you can hardly hear other people moving around the house, and the beds are super comfy. We had a baby with us and there was a travel cot and highchair available.
There is lots to do in the area with a short drive to beaches, we did pottery painting at Corris craft centre which was nice, but also lots of walks from the cottage door. A wander up bird rock opposite gives stunning views!
I'm sure we will be back, I would like to go in winter to make the most of the underfloor heating and cosy log fire!
This is such a joy to read! Thank you so much. It’s interesting that you pick up on the quietness between the bedrooms. When we were renovating the house we doubled up on the sound insulation between all of the rooms in order to provide that sense of peace and calm. It makes a difference, doesn’t it?
Do come back in winter. As well as the toasty heating, you can also be surprised by some winter sunshine as well. Property Owner

"This is a beautifully renovated farmhouse in a fantastic location."
You have the peacefulness of being in the countryside but only a 15 minute drive to the beach. It really was a home-from-home and had so many nice touches and facilities (my only minor gripe is that it’s been overlooked about having a mirror near a plug socket so drying your hair is a challenge as there are only mirrors currently in the bathrooms, but that is only a minor thing in the scale of things as they’d thought of everything else).
It was spotlessly clean everywhere and the beds were really comfy.
You have the choice of a lovely roll-top bath in the upstairs bathroom or an amazing waterfall shower in the downstairs one.
Although it worked out quite expensive for us as a family of 4, if you had two families stay, with the maximum capacity of 8 people, then it is definitely value for money and we’d love to come back and stay again
