Peniarth Ganol

Peniarth Ganol is in a spectacular location, and very peaceful.

The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could need and has been beautifully renovated. The garden is large and was secure for our dog - although some dogs might be able to escape. Accessed via narrow lanes! We had a fantastic holiday and the bara brith on arrival was a nice treat.

Wonderful cottage in a great location.

Well maintained and surrounded by beautiful countryside and lots of sheep and cows. Great accommodation, with lots of little details eg games, Bluetooth speaker, antique furniture.

Fabulous accommodation.

Exactly what we hoped for and got. Enjoyed the 5 day stay - went far too quickly. Would highly recommend.

What a beautiful beautiful place.

The scenery is stunning. Very well equipped home and very comfortable. The cleaning between guests could perhaps be slightly better - a fair bit of dust around the home. There is also some small areas of mould that were seen. We absolutely loved our time and most certainly will be back

A great place and have booked again for next year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was lovely and well appointed. It made a great base for exploring the local area. Our grand daughter was fascinated by the calves in the yard first thing in the morning and we had to see them every day! We will be looking to book the cottage again next year.

Property very well equipped and comfortable.

We know all about Peniarth Ganol this was my husbands family ancestral home before the renovation which has been completed vary tastefully with every thing that is needed to have a comfortable stay. We stayed over Christmas and we took all of our decs and cleaning materials as none in property on the bad side the house in communal areas was very dirty took 3 hours to clean areas by myself and my daughter. I also had to clean oven. This was not acceptable after the cost of the house over the Christmas holidays. Also the Housekeeping man was very rude to me on the phone and in text when I asked him questions he needs to be told how to speak to customers. Various parts of the house needs some maintenance doing which I wrote in book on site. I know this review sounds bad but the property is fantastic and it is only the housekeeping that is letting it down. This house needs a deep clean and the housekeeping man should not expect guests to clean property before they move in. After we left the house is clean but this should not of happened. Not Happy.

This was our second stay at this lovely holiday cottage and it was just as perfect as the first.

The setting is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, surrounded by greenery and stunning views. The cottage is spotless, very well equipped and the bed is incredibly comfortable. We loved being able to head out on great walks straight from the doorstep. A truly relaxing getaway. Highly recommended!

We stayed as a large group (4 adults and 3 children) and Peniarth Ganol more than comfortably accommodated us.

The house is nothing short of incredible. A stunning cottage renovation, with outstanding views. Super well equipped with everything you could need. The log burner was very welcome (especially as the weather was pretty awful when we stayed) Lots of walking and adventures within relatively close proximity including the Mach Loop which is a must if you have the slightest interest in aircraft. Would not hesitate to recommend and already planning a return next year.

This is our 4th stay at Peniarth Ganol.

It was as lovely as ever! The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting outside for an evening beer enjoying the wonderful location. There are many walks of all varieties from the door or a short car journey to get to paths up Cader Idris. We look forward to returning.

We love our stays at Peniarth Ganol It's everything we want and need The peace and quiet The views And the house itself is perfect Thank you for making it so lovely for us

The cottage has been beautifully renovated and is set in a stunning location.

It is very well equipped. Our grandchildren loved playing in the garden, watching the sheep and the swallows. I would definitely recommend it. The only fault we had was that the cold tap over the bath didn’t work and this had been reported several times in the housekeeping book, luckily for us our 9 month old didn’t mind being washed in the shower with her mum.

This lovely cottage is at the end of a very twisting singletrack lane off a single track road several miles long with high hedges either side - not for the fainthearted if you meet someone coming in the other direction!

The cottage has beautiful views and rightly deserves its renovation award. On arrival at the end of June when the rest of Britain was going through a heat wave, Wales wasn't. Unfortunately, the cottage was cold and felt damp when we first walked in and there was no programmer to turn the heating on but we were greatly relieved to contact the owners via their agent (thank you Alan) for them to remotely turn the heating on. Subsequently, the heating didn't always come on so, rather than contacting the owners again, who were themselves on holiday, we bought a fan heater delivered by Amazon. The cottage has lovely quality crockery and fittings and is well equipped. As reported by some others, the bed bases are too big for the rooms but the beds are very comfortable. As part of a working farm, it's not possible to take your dog off lead anywhere close to the cottage so we had to drive to find somewhere - down that single track again! There is however a good enclosed exercise area for dogs at the cottage. With the tight changeover of us moving out in the morning and another family moving in a few hours later, there is a reliance on previous occupants always leaving the cottage as they found it - allowing very limited time for cleaners to clean and not just change the bedding and towels. We were advised they had four cottages to clean, with one a fair distance away, before the new families moved in the same day. Unfortunately, with this tight schedule, on our arrival the oven was dirty and we couldn't use it. There would have been no time to properly clean it when we left. Suggest the cleaners are given longer with the changeover for it would have been impossible to clean the house properly within the time allowed. A delightful feature was house martins with their chicks nesting in the eaves. Overall, an enjoyable holiday. Thank you.

Lovely spacious converted farmhouse has everything you might need for a family or group of friends to holiday in a beautiful part of N.

Wales. Clean, comfortable and well equipped, also with an EV charging point.

We had a tremendous stay at Peniarth Ganol.

Such a beautiful house in a wonderful setting. Our first visit, but we would love to return.

Peniarth Ganol was an exceptionally well renovated property, very spacious for 8 people, also cosy and intimate for our family time.

It was very fully equipped and furnished to a high standard, the beds, particularly, were very comfortable. Pretty much everything had been considered by the hosts, up to a wide range of reading material, board games and of course, internet-connected smart TV for the kids and older ones (!!). I was particularly impressed with the wide age-range of books on the shelves in the kids bunk room (our 8 year old is an avid reader and found a gem or two to keep her happy). We were never bored, at home or on our adventures. We had everything needed for a great holiday, being in a beautiful rural location, with a working farm on our doorstep, yet with easy access to Tywyn and anywhere in beautiful mid-Wales. We were very fortunate with pretty good weather for February too. We would not hesitate to book again in the future. Superb location, outstanding property. One downside - which we did report in the customer comments book - the upstairs shower was not useable, as the cold water tap fell off on first use and the shower could not easily be turned off, never mind the temperature controlled. Fortunately, one of the adults managed to turn it off in the end. Surprisingly, given there were 8 of us, we managed perfectly well with the large downstairs shower room, the problem was only discovered on the penultimate day of our stay.

The house was lovely, bigger than it looked from the pictures in a gorgeous secluded and peaceful location.

Highly recommended, we’d book Peniarth Ganol again, the owners were very responsive and friendly also.

Este al doilea an in care venim aici de sarbatori.

Ne place foarte mult. Bucataria este complet utilata. Living ul este mare si spatios, cu un semineu tare dragut. Dormitoarele sunt ok, paturi si perne confortabile. Un singur minus : echipa de curatenie nu prea isi face treaba. Anul acesta de revelion am avut un mic incident, ni s a stricat cuptorul, dar proprietarii au fost foarte draguti si ne au trimis un cuptor mic de blat apoi ne au returnat 50% din suma platita.

Peniarth Ganol was the perfect retreat for escaping the noise of fireworks with our dogs.

It’s incredibly quiet and peaceful, with stunning views of Bird Rock right from the property. Despite feeling secluded, it’s just a short drive to Tywyn, where you can find all the essentials. There are also some great pubs serving food and fantastic places to visit even closer by. The cottage is by far the most well-equipped we’ve ever stayed in—you could easily cook a full Christmas dinner here! It’s the only place we’ve visited that even has pint glasses, much to my husband’s delight. The king-size bed is exceptionally comfortable as well. We loved it so much we’ve already booked again for next year!

Beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings.

Extremely well equipped, ideally placed to visit places of interest but able to return to an extremely peaceful location on the farm.

This is a simply beautiful cottage in a gorgeous peaceful location.

We are looking forward to our next stay very much!

We have loved our second stay at Peniarth Ganol Everything about the cottage and it's location is breathtaking Thank you to the owners for giving us the opportunity to stay in this very very special cottage

We ha a wonderful stay in Peniarth Ganol.

The house was very comfortable and cosy, very well equipped and in beautiful surrounding. It is calm and quiet the next neighbours are sheep and cows. There are lots of things to do in the surrounding area for families. All in all we had great holidays!

Lovely house in picturesque location.

This was my fifth visit. Beds comfortable and house fresh and clean to walk into. Where there have been problems for other guests, their notes in the book have been noted and acted upon. The house is my go-to for this area of Wales from now on.

We really enjoyed our stay.

The location is absolutely stunning with wonderful views. The farmhouse was clean and well presented. It is spacious and well equipped for a family holiday. Lots of wildlife and farm animals close by provide interest at all times. We would definitely like to book it again sometime. Thank you!

This cottage was the most perfect place for a relaxing break.

It was very well equipped with everything you could need, it is very comfortable , the shower is just absolutely amazing. We loved our time here, the peace and quiet was just bliss, we really didn’t want to leave. Will definitely be back in the future.

An amazing house in the perfect location.

They have provided everything you need. For a large group, there is plenty of space. The outside area is fantastic. Love the fire pit and the walls in the area.

Incredible cottage.

Everything you could need is there. Beautiful location. Stunning. Booked straight away to return. Perfect break away. Loved every second.

We’ve just returned home from a wonderful Christmas week at this truly amazing cottage.

The cottage is set in the a idilic location with views from every window. So many walks from the doorstep. It’s around 15 minute drive from Aberdovey which is a lovely small town with some shops restaurants and pubs and well as wonderful beaches. The house itself is stunning. It’s been renovated beautifully throughout. The furnishing as so so we’ll thought out which makes it very comfortable. There is nothing the owners haven’t thought of. Log fire, games, books. The kitchen and utility is well stocked with everything you can think of. We didn’t want to come home. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Peniarth Ganol for my parents golden wedding anniversary get-together.

The cottage is really homely, has everything you need, and is in the most beautiful setting. It’s perfect for a rural escape. My only criticism is that our bedding was a bit damp in all rooms, so they hadn’t been fully dried before putting on the beds. This wouldn’t put me off staying here again. I can highly recommend this beautiful property. We were also blessed with lovely weather which was an added bonus. Thank you to the hosts! :o)

Beautifully kept house in idyllic surroundings.

We are so pleased to return for a 3rd visit and bring our dog to enjoy the wonderful garden. We will be booking again for sure. Great to know you can just walk straight out from the house have so many walks on your doorstep with good views all around.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views

Peniarth Ganol is a beautifully refurbished former farmhouse.

It is full of character and quirkiness but with all the amenities you could hope for. We stayed there as a family of 4 adults with two children (our grandchildren), and our two dogs. We all had a great time both in the cottage and in the gardens and it was isolated enough to enjoy peace and quiet but near enough to travel to a variety of different destinations. There is so much to do there and we love visiting different areas of Wales year after year. The owners had thought of just about everything, even providing a large basket of dishwasher tablets and large bags to put dirty linen in. I imagined it to be a soft water area but there was some limescale in the bottom of the kettle which our daughter scrubbed most of it off. It was great to have a choice of bathrooms with the downstairs shower room being very much appreciated. It was great that there was a really useful utility room as well as plenty of storage everywhere. There was also a spacious and ample fridge freezer. Despite all that was provided, we took extra toilet roll, kitchen towel, beach and tea towels, extra bin bags etc so we really were short of very little and improvised where we needed to. There was a huge choice of adults and children's books and games with our grandchildren never tiring of snakes and ladders with much hilarity and cheating going on. The wifi is excellent and useful because there isn't much signal elsewhere until you reach towns. Within several miles, there are plenty of shops to buy provisions with lots of Aldis and Co-ops and a few other independent shops. There are so many stunning hand crafted features of the cottage like the hand made window frames, and enormous dining table, and the staircase. Had the weather been slightly better, we would have had a BBQ outside but when the weather was fine, we went out and about exploring but there was plenty of seats and tables in the garden so plenty of choice for everyone. Great holiday all round and a lovely property and location.

A stunning situation that’s hard to equal.

Comfortable and homely with a real farmhouse feel. This will be our chosen property for the area - so happy I could bring my dog - she loved the garden.

We loved our stay in this cottage.

It was perfect for our group. It looks bigger than the photos and it is well equipped. The small touches really made a difference, such as the dog treats and welcome pack. Hoping to come back next year.

Wonderful property.

Everything you need and more. Very peaceful .

Been to peniarth Gabon 4 times, love it every single time.

Absolute bliss, nice walks from the front door, stream right by the house, water falls local, multiple beautiful beaches all within 20 mins drive. Lovely waterfall shower.

Lovely well equipped house; they have thought of everything.

The location and views are fantastic. I would definitely recommend this property

Great property and location fully enjoyed break Highly recommend

The most fantastic Cottage in the most breath taking surroundings.

The cottage had absolutely everything that you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying here. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an awesome break away.

Beautiful house & fascinating to see before & after pictures!

Really well equipped to a very high standard & honestly there was nothing missing. The house is very remote so if you prefer to be nearer amenities this isn’t for you. Very peaceful location. We had a very enjoyable stay & would recommend if you want peace & quiet.

Very nice place and cottage!

The cottage was amazing, I wanted to move in for good!

Everything we needed was there, it was clean and comfortable with the most amazing views.

This is our 3rd visit.

We love it here and will be back.

Beautiful location and excellent, well maintained property.

It was obvious the owners seek to provide a comfortable and enjoyable environment for the guests. One to recommend and to return to

An amazing location, very well equipped, perfect for a wonderful holiday for three generations.

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.

It was a beautiful cottage in a nice quiet location.

It was kitted out with everything that you could wish for. The Dishwasher and Washing machine we're a god send. Will definitely go again.

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.

Really lovely farmhouse and location, great for a relaxing, chilled break.

Beautifully renovated farmhouse with all modern facilities.

Situated in an idilic spot with wonderful views to Bird Rock. Fantastic walks right from the door, magnificent beaches a short drive away. Perfect holiday location.

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'!

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

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.

We will be back simply excellent.

One the best we've ever stayed at. As ex-farmers it was enhanced by the farm yard sounds and smells.

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.

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.

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.

This is our second stay at the property.

We absolutely love it, but are concerned that the increase in prices may prevent a third stay

We had an excellent holiday at Peniarth Ganol.

The house has been really nicely re-furbished to a high standard throughout, and it was very clean and well prepared for us. The location is truly awe-inspiring, and whatever the weather this is the perfect base for exploring, walking, swimming or just relaxing at home - thoroughly recommended!

This is the second time we have stayed here and yet again we had an absolutely superb trip.

The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and in a beautiful position to explore the surrounding countryside. We will be back!

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.

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

Absolute perfect holiday - not just for the humans but the dogs loved it!

Look out off one window to sheep and the other to cows, all sat amongst the rolling hills! Perfect base to visit all the coastal towns. The grounds are all flat so perfect for the little one as well. Would return in a heartbeat!

Weather,the area 100%

I think this house is in one of the most beautiful locations in this area.

Perfectly positioned. We were most comfortable and will most definitely return. We are so grateful to be able to bring our dogs. We brought our own rope and tether (although I found one provided) Boundaries although fenced and gated would not keep little dogs from exploring! Sheep and lambs right next door to the property. House well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Thank you.

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.

Absolutely fantastic I have already reccomened you to friends and family also social media !

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!

The cottage’s situation in the Welsh hills made our stay a great one and the cottage itself was very comfortable.

We would love to go back!

We had a super stay in this gorgeous cottage.

Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped. The surroundings are breathtaking, such a beautiful secluded spot with lots of lovely walks nearby and great views of birds rock from the living room. Fantastic shower. Would certainly like to visit again

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

A lovely newly converted cottage in a beautiful area of North Wales with all the facilities you could possibly need or want.

The owners of the cottage were an extremely nice couple who went out of their way to help us out with everything they could. Great value for money.
