“A delightful cottage that gives you both isolation because of its location but also the proximity of being able to get to any location in this part of Wales - Barmouth, Porthmadog Tywyn Harlech etc within just over 30 mins drive.”

The cottage contains everything you need and was clean throughout. Sandra provided us with some of her home makes cakes that were delicious. Plenty of walks to take in. Particularly liked the Mawddach Trail. It’s 9 miles from Dolgellau to Barmouth. Only walked the one way and caught the bus back. You can’t get a mobile signal inside the cottage and this was a really great plus point because instead of spending time on your iPad you can chat away.

“Great location.”

Nice cottage. Only 1 set of towels en bedsheets for 2 weeks. Cleanliness could be better.

“Brilliant little cottage at the bottom of the mountain.”

It was warm inside and the cottage had all the facilities needed for a very pleasant get away over New Years. There is little or no phone signal in the cottage (but good signal outside), but it did not bother us, as we were there to simply "switch off" from everything. But bear that in mind, if you are hoping to "work from home". The owners were very helpful and have welcomed us with some delicious flapjacks, that we munched away whilst hiking in the area :) Thank you so much creating a home away from home and for a wonderful stay! we hope to be back in the summer! Kind regards M & M

“Comfortable cottage in a tranquil location within walking distance of Cader Idris”

A converted barn attached to the main property that provides a warm and comfortable base to explore the region from. Its isolated location provides for peaceful relaxation, especially sat in the private garden area next to the gently flowing stream. It is possible to ascend Cader Idris by a little-used (and therefore; quiet) route directly from the cottage. Starting points for other high-level hikes and lower-level walks are very close-by. Finally, the warm welcome and helpful guidance make a warm start to the holiday. Ideal location, great value for money.

“wow what a beautiful place to stay”

we were looking for a short break away from it all and we found the perfect place. The first drive up the lanes to Maes Coch was a little little hairy but you soon get used to it. We arrived after a long journey and at once loved what we saw. The lovely home made fruit cake and everything to make a cuppa were a lovely welcome and very much appreciated. The views all around the cottage are breathtaking, it is the perfect place for peace and quiet with Dolgelleau only a couple of miles away, the Eurospar Supermarket was very useful and there are also a good choice of eating places, takeaways and the usual local butchers greengrocers and coffee shops. You can find just about anything you need without going any further. We can highly recommend The Gatehouse Steakhouse and the Lemongrass resturants.Although the weather was unfortunately mostly overcast or raining we found plenty to do and see and found the incredible sights of North Wales breathtaking. Sandra and Reece are always happy to advise and point you in the direction of anything you would like to see and there is a good supply of information leaflets available in the cottage. This lovely cottage is clean comfortable and and just about anything you could need is supplied, including lots of little extra touches like flask and tupperware boxes perfect for packing a picnic, reading books and local history info. We had a wonderful time and particularly loved the waterfalls at Ganllwyd and the drive up to Gregennan. First visit to Wales and Maes Cotch Cottage but we most deffinately hope to be able to return in ther near future. A big thankyou to you all for making our all too short stay such a memorable break.

“Great getaway from it all - lovely idyllic spot”

For anyone who really wants a totally secluded break away from it all this is the place to go. We hardly knew the owners were there. If you are staying there and don't intend going anywhere else for a few days, get your supplies in and you will be fine. Also on the positive side you can walk straight from the cottage and onto Cader Idris which we did on the second to last day. Just be aware that the drive up the hill to the cottage is not for the faint hearted but you do get used to it after a few days. Also be aware that the cottage is part of a working farm so there are sheep milling about in the fields but the lambs were great fun to watch in the evenings. The bird life was also amazing. There are also a few dogs in a kennel about fifty metres away from the cottage which did bark now and again, which could spoil the peace and quiet, especially when the rabbits hopped in to the yard where the dogs are kept.

“A lovely cottage miles from anywhere”

We received a warm welcome from Sandra and we couldn't have been more pleased with the little cottage that was warm, comfortable and clean. There was even a little tea tray laid out with some cake. Just what we needed after a long drive. We drank our tea sitting in a little garden area that has been set up for the cottage users right next to stream overlooking the beautiful mountains. We had the mountains on our doorstep and took a short but strenous walk up the nearest one which took us around 1800ft and with spectacular views. The nearest shops were to be found in the lovely village of Dollgellau. We recommend the Eurospar which is expensive but is a 'foodie's' delight with lots of locally sourced produce. We found this cottage a wonderful base for the week as we sampled the different delights of north and mid Wales. Aberystwyth is worth a visit, this very clean and well looked after University town was a nice alternative to your 'kiss me quick' style seaside resorts. We rode on the cliff railway which allowed us a good view over the coastline as it was a glorious day. Barmouth which isn't too far is more of a 'kiss me quick' style sea side but the fish and chips that we got from The Mermaid on Jubilee Street redeemed the place for us, they were delicious. Other good places to visit were Portmeirion village, Plas Brondanw [just 5 miles from there and was the family home of Clough Williams Ellis the designer of Portmeirion. We drove all through the snowdonia nature reserve hoping to take the Snowdon Mountain Railway but decided against it when we discovered it would cost us between £27 - 35 per person! All in all, a wonderful week spent at a lovely cottage.

“Cosy cottage, beautiful situated on a small sheepfarm. You can m”

This cottage is suitable for people who like to get out of the rush of every daylife. It's peaceful and quiet up there. The location is perfect if you like to make walks. Around Dolgellau there are also lots of walks possible, just go to the tourist office. The westcoast of Wales is nearby to visit. Within an hour drive you find castles and there are interesting cities on the north side of Wales. A visit to Portmeirion, a village created in Itilian style, is a special discovery. Anyone who loves steamtrains can make a lot of trips in this region.
