• "We loved our holiday but it was very remote which was most probably an issue on my side."

  The cottage is lovely but the downstairs needs some attention. I usually have my mum with me but the seating was very uncomfortable and she would not have managed the sofa and chairs need updating. The aga was lovely and you had everything we could ask for in the kitchen. We tried contacting someone about the bathroom light but ended up just managing. Whilst the bedrooms and bedding were clean and comfy the downstairs lounge area was very dusty and not just the odd cobweb! This is a stunning location and relaxing and we did have a lovely time in the beautiful cottage. Would recommend for avid walkers as a base and close to so many beautiful places.

• "What an amazing location, we had fantastic weather therefore could enjoy the outside area and magnificent views, the track up to the house can be challenging but manageable, key box works well, kitchen was well equipped, good hot water pressure, you have to leave plenty of time for the electric aga to warm up but we could use the gas rings along side the aga."

  The beds were very comfortable, bedding also good quality. The chairs and settees were very uncomfortable and in my opinion need an upgrade, we sat on our camping chairs when we were indoors. We hadn’t realised there was no washer, personally would have preferred a washer than a dishwasher. The grass outside was long and would have been nice to have had it cut prior to arrival. We had the most relaxing holiday and enjoyed the house , it was perfect for all our families needs. Thanks

• "This was our second visit as we enjoyed last stay so much."

  Love the rural location and views. The house is lovely. Lots of antique, weird and wonderful pieces of furniture and think that’s part of its charm. Kitchen well equipped, bedding and towels nice, internet great, bathrooms good and water pressure excellent (amazing for how rural it is!). Unfortunately for us, someone must have stayed shortly before us with cats as the pungent smell of cat in the dining room was overwhelming. We couldn’t use the room despite airing it as best we could. There was cat fur on stairs and landing so assume someone had them in this area. A shame for us as we had planned to use the room for a 70th birthday dinner, but wasn’t an option. Guess this was due to previous guest rather than the home owner (didn’t have the same issue in February) though. Hope it is gone soon for future guests.

• "Nice to return to Cefn y Gadfa two months on and see the changes spring flowers, in the fields and cottage garden, and drier access tracks make to the experience."

  However we did search in vain for the new frying pan promised and also felt the need of a sieving ladle (large spoon sized). The kitchen door has fallen on its hinges so the bolts won't relocate to close unless it is lifted up. And the front kitchen window has a similar problem when it is time to close it again. Otherwise everything was just as delightful and the lack of TV wasn't troubling at all. Views are breathtaking, the sheep and lambs provide an ever changing floor show and the peaceful walks and atmosphere simply out of this world.

  Thank you for this feedback. I have asked our local builder to check the door and window when he visits the house this weekend to re-do a patch of plaster. He installed the window and fixed the door once before and both were working well so he is puzzled by your comments, but let's see what he can do. I did look for shallower frying pans online but could not find any that fitted your description and I have not been to CyG myself since March, before we last communicated - it has been solidly booked - so I have not been able to visit the kitchen shop in Llandudno to ask what kind of pan you mean. I will do that when I am next there, but it won't be until the autumn. And I will enquire about a small sieve too, but did you not find the standard sized one, with the diameter of a side plate, that we have there? On the whole, I think you will agree, the CyG kitchen is well equipped. With kind regards, Belinda Property Owner

• "The cottage though remote is a gem."

  Well worth the drive to get to it. A car with 4x4 helps and a judicious application of a few tons of hardcore here and there might not come amiss on the access track. We loved the nonchalant scattering of family memorabilia and tasteful country house castoff furniture, carpets, and ornaments, all of which provided an intriguing insight into the owners', past and present, outdoor lives. Despite being roomy and totally exposed to wind and rain, the rambling old place was perfectly warm and dry - very different from the damp cottage I once rented up the road at Nebo, which resembled nothing so much as living in a mildewed fridge. On the critical side we couldn't find a frying pan for our simple peasant repast of burgers and there was Jew's ear fungus growing behind the door in the 'gentlemen's' bathroom, watered by a leaking radiator joint. We loved our holiday and thought it one of the best we've had.
