    "A wonderful home away from home."

    We had a lovely week here with everything we could have needed. The house was so comfortable and beautifully clean. Although we had brought our own with us, there were all the useful bits like hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. There were also treats when we arrived so that we could have a cuppa and something sweet straight away which was so welcoming! Bedrooms were fantastic and cosy, two living room spaces which was useful with having children with us. The outside space was fabulous for sitting and relaxing. It also gave us the chance to sit and appreciate how quiet and serene the local surroundings are. It’s a good spot for looking at the stars at night as well! The surroundings are spectacular. The village is picturesque with its colourful houses on the edge of the estuary. The views across to the mountains are unbeatable. It was heavenly!

    A real hidden gem. Very well equipped with real attention to detail to make this a perfect comfortable get away. We particularly enjoyed the roof terrace and the layout of the house was perfect for our three teenagers. We loved the little goodies left out and all instructions were clear to follow. Thank you so much.

    "A fabulous house in a quiet location, a short walk down to the harbour and to the costal path to the local beaches, which were perfect for the kids, and about a 20 minute walk to Porthmadog along the footpath."

    The house was very clean and well presented, with everything we needed. The kids loved having their own rooms and lounge to relax in when they got fed up with us. They also loved the selection of cakes that were so kindly left for us, thank you! The steps up to the patio were quite steep, but it’s well worth the climb as it’s a lovely spot for a quiet cuppa. The kids loved using the ‘secret steps’ leading from the single bedroom up to the patio. I’d definitely recommend Hyfrydle, it was perfect. The kids have already asked when we can go back!

    "We had a pleasant 3 night stay for our party of 3 elderly but fit golfers!"

    The property is well appointed , clean , and in a nice location, although in a traditional Victorian street with similar properties opposite. The tight staircase and single toilet/ bath room could be a limitation for some groups , particularly parties of 6 . From 3 bedrooms you have to stride over the gap to the top stair of the rather steep stairs to get to the bath room ( hazardous without lights ) . The bath/ shower room is modern and for older people would benefit from a non slip mat and one or two simple grab handles to help safe exit from the bath/ shower. We are mobile for our age but found this rather difficult. Dining Kitchen is well stocked , ( missing only a working bottle opener.)

    "Lovely property, spotlessly clean and in a great location."

    The beautiful coastal view/path is literally one minute’s walk away. The upper terrace seating area is a real bonus - the sun is there well into the evening - and there were ample comfortable facilities for four adults. Simply couldn’t fault this place. Only one very minor issue was bath towel size - when running the gauntlet between bathroom and bedrooms in a mixed group modesty was a slight issue and perhaps a couple of bath sheets would be helpful. Other than that one issue our stay here was great and we would without hesitation return.

    A generous supply of essentials and the additional welcome touches including fresh flowers, cake and gifts for the children made us feel valued guests. All the furnishings and linen are excellent quality and the kitchen had all we needed for preparing meals. There was plenty of hot water and great pressure for the shower. It was a great location for us. The many sandy coves along the coast path were perfect for exploring and sand play for the little ones. We walked along the coast path into Porthmadog every day too where there are plenty of cafes, shops and interest from the historic trains and harbour.

The owners have put a lot of care and thought in to providing a lovely holiday experience from the moment you arrive.

BORTH-Y-GEST

Porthmadog 1.2 miles; Criccieth 6 miles.

Borth-y-Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth-y-Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth-y-Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.
