“Great holiday in a beautiful area.”

The cottage had everything we needed and was in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

The cottage had everything we needed and was in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

Mrs Davis May 2021

“Really beautiful small cottage which had been renovated carefully with comfort and ease of use in mind.”

All on one level. King size bed, lovely couch, central heating simple to use. Spotlessly clean. Situated high in the mountains with wonderful views, it is a gem. Forgot all about the woes of the world. No signal so couldn't use smart phone. This added to our holiday!!! Thanks to Rhys and Kate for helping us feel at home. Hope to visit again.

Ms Sullivan April 2021

“The cottage was very cosy, a huge comfy sofa, brilliant coffee machine and able to sit with said coffee looking out at Cadair Idris.”

The slow cooker is also a great addition for having something warm to return to after a day in the hills. The walking from the doorstep is excellent and there are lots of other suggestions for local walking near by.

Dr Bennett April 2021

“Small but perfectly adequate for two, Maes Coch Cottage is in an idyllic location for anyone looking to be in the heart of hill farming countryside.”

The views are spectacular and there are excellent walks and cycle rides from the front door. The cottage is attached to the farmhouse - so don't expect complete isolation - but our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. If you want an internet signal you'll have to stand outside and wave your phone around a bit, but there is some benefit in being able to tell the office you really will be offline for the duration. Dolgellau is only a few - admittedly steep - miles away where there is a large Co-op for food shopping, and plenty of options for those who rather let someone else do the cooking.

Mr Ward September 2020

“Fantastic owners, Peaceful setting, great walks and stunning views.”

- Mr Ward, September 2020
Mrs Poole September 2020

“The Cottage has a beautiful mountain back drop , it’s quiet but only a couple of miles from Dolgellau .”

- Mrs Poole, September 2020
Mrs Perkins October 2019

“It was a lovey cottage,quiet and relaxing, we did miss not having internet as needed a few times during the week and had to travel down the road to get a signal when needed.”

other then that we had a lovely week.

- Mrs Perkins, October 2019
Mr Hickman August 2019

“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.

- Mr Hickman, August 2019
Mr Dalmijn July 2019

“Great location.”

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

- Mr Dalmijn, July 2019
Mrs Krestyanska December 2018

“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

- Mrs Krestyanska, December 2018

“Pleasant, comfortable cottage in a great location.”

- Mr Eatherington, May 2018
Miss Heppell March 2018

“We had a great time away from the busyness of the real world.”

Stunning scenery and lovely remoteness. Dolgellau is just down the hill and we made the most of the natural playground for walking and biking. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. It went far too quickly.

- Miss Heppell, March 2018
Miss Holmes March 2018

“We had a lovely stay at Maes Coch.”

Sandra is wonderfully welcoming, personable and informative. A big thanks Sandra for the cottage pies (see Facebook page), the fudge brownies and milk in the jug. A big SO SORRY for our car alarm going off at 0400 in the morning! And a BIG recommendation from us to anyone considering a stay at Maes Coch. Best wishes Angie & Woody.

Mrs Melling April 2017

“There were two aspects of this cottage which were very special: its location among the mountains and the owners, Rhys and Sandra, who looked after us so well and are lovely people.”

- Mrs Melling, April 2017
Mr Goodyer September 2016

“Had 2 great weeks here, was sad to leave.”

Wonderful location high up on the mountain. Friendly and hospitable hosts. Cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable. Also a great base to explore this stunning area. Looking forward to a return visit.

- Mr Goodyer, September 2016

We also liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners.

- Mrs Gregory, July 2016
Mrs Parker September 2015

“We had peace and tranquillity in a nice cosy cottage.”

The cottage was warm and comfortable, there was no need to use the car except for getting supplies. There was walking access directly onto the many footpaths on and around Cadair Idris, and easy access to cycle routes.

- Mrs Parker, September 2015
Mrs Brown June 2014

“It was lovely being able to walk to the top of Cader Idris from the Cottage.”

The location is beautiful and so quiet, a real rural retreat. We're normally cautious about staying next door to the owners but apart from welcoming us and letting us know they were there if we needed anything we didn't see the owners at all.

- Mrs Brown, June 2014
Mr Thurgood May 2014

“Absolutely wonderful cottage.”

- Mr Thurgood, May 2014
Mr Good June 2013

“A superb peaceful and isolated location!”

- Mr Good, June 2013
Mr Ellis June 2013

- Mr Ellis, June 2013
Mr Kirby May 2013

Helpful friendly owners and cottage warm and comfortable.

- Ms Alston, September 2012
Ms Jones September 2012

“The peaceful solitary position of the cottage and it's location close to mountain walks and beautiful landscapes.”

The fact that it was located on a working sheep farm added interest. The owners had made the effort to provide a private garden area next to a stream which was a lovely and appreciated touch.

- Ms Jones, September 2012
Mr Lamb June 2012

“The location was very special on a working sheep farm and the family could not have been more friendly and helpful.”

Mr Lee-Van Den Daele July 2011

“A lovely, quiet cottage away from the hustle & bustle of the modern world.”

The owners were warm and welcoming - the cake, welcome tray and flowers were a nice, friendly touch. A great base for exploring this part of Wales and we would recommend Maes Coch as a great, cosy, getaway cottage set in lovely countryside.

- Mr Lee-Van Den Daele, July 2011

Lovely location of cottage, very peaceful, in beautiful setting. Walks up into the hills from the cottage, where we didn't see anyone else. Cottage beautifully decorated and furnished, very warm and comfortable.

- Mrs Read, January 2011
Mr Turnbull September 2010

“The peace and quiet, the cottage and the views.”

We also enjoyed the cycle rides. The owner's family left you alone to get on with what you wanted to do but were there if needed. Good cover for the bikes. Our own little garden area opposite the cottage. The greeting of Bara brith and tea as a welcome. Altogether delightful.

- Mr Turnbull, September 2010
