Ereiniog

We had a wonderful week staying at Ereiniog.

The cottage is in a peaceful location surrounded by hills and sheep. Plenty of walks around the area. Owner was very helpful and friendly.

This is a traditional and historic Welsh cottage in a stunning location!

Within easy reach of towns like Criccieth and Porthmadog, but surrounded by hills and sheep, so peaceful. The farmer owners were very friendly and helpful, lovely to chat to. We weren't expecting an original spiral stone staircase with two small children (having been misinformed by Sykes staff when we asked about stairs), but we managed to make this safe enough. It's an incredible feature, along with the old beams. We were very lucky with the weather, and would only suggest the addition of a bench in the garden to be able to sit/eat out and enjoy the gorgeous views!

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

We had the most wonderful week here and honestly couldn’t have asked for more. The cottage had all the amenities we could possibly need, and the thoughtful little touches throughout made our stay feel extra special. The hospitality was superb from start to finish. It was so reassuring knowing Rhys was there if we needed anything, and we really appreciated the check-ins during our stay. Nothing felt too much trouble. Everything was clean, comfortable, and so welcoming — a real home away from home. We’ve made some lovely memories here and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back again!

Ereiniog is a mountain hideaway close to Porthmadog via winding country lanes, but well worth the climb.

This is an unexpectedly historic and intriguing cottage. One wing of a larger farmhouse dating back to the 1540s with ships' beams incorporated in the ceiling of the sitting room, and a medieval style stone spiral staircase to the bedrooms, with lookout arrow slit reminiscent of a castle tower. The massive inglenook houses a very efficient wood burning stove and the owners' generously provide enough combustibles for even a novice to get a decent fire going. Beds are comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. Outside the lambs playing king of the castle on a pile of rocks kept us entertained and the local area has a surprising number of walks including to the nearby Cwmystradlynn lake and an elegant but deretict slate mill for those who like industrial archaeology. You will get a warm welcome from the owners who will tell you all about the history and life on a mountain sheep farm.

If you like a traditional farm cottage, this is for you.

It's surrounded by sheep grazing fields (great during lambing) and has fantastic views of the mountains all around . It's very quiet and though not in the busy 'honeypot' area of Snowdonia, it is part the real working farming landscape of North Wales. It can be windy and wild in bad weather, and feels remote but it's close to Porthmadog for the shops. The owners are just great, friendly people. The house is old, massive stone walls, even with a stone spiral staircase to the second floor. The furniture is all shapes and sizes but comfortable. loads of parking. Don't expect it to feel modern. It's a real farmhouse home.

We had the most wonderful stay at Ereiniog for the week.

The cottage was beautifully kept, clean and comfortable with some beautiful decorations. It was amazing to see the history in the details of the house. The bed was comfortable, shower and bath were lovely and kitchen was well equipped, didn’t need anything more! We loved waking up to the beautiful views of the mountains and sheep, it was so quiet and peaceful it was incredibly refreshing! Handy to be just 10 minutes away from shops for any necessities we may have needed. A perfect location and base for exploring the local area and further. Rhys and his family took great care of us during our stay as well, checking if we needed anything and making us feel welcome. A lovely, kind and friendly host family, thank you for letting us stay! Would highly recommend and plan on coming back again, we were so sad to leave. Thank you so much for having us :)

The pictures don't do the place justice!

Its a gorgeous spot nestled in the mountains. It's incredibly cozy and comfortable. The views are great and the owner was a great help advising where to go locally and providing wood. It's an incredibly magical spot.

We stayed as a family of 4 , 2 adults and 2 children.

It was a wonderful 5 day pre Christmas break. Clean cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enough logs provided for first nights worth of a fire and it was even all set up for us to light. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The owners are extremely friendly and even knocked to ask us if we needed anything from the supermarket . Would recommend go anyone and would definitely stay again . Thank you!

We stayed at the property with our children (ages 8 and 5) and absolutely loved it!

As well as being in a great location for exploring the area, it was quiet and near to local shops for groceries. The property had everything we needed and the children thought it was wonderful! Would definitely return here

This was a beautiful cottage the location was amazing with views from all sides, lovely set out inside with everything needed for the perfect stay, our hosts were a lovely caring family thanks for your warmth.

A wonderful cottage in a perfect location.

The owners all very friendly and helpful.

We absolutely loved our stay here .

The hosts are so helpful(. They stored our medication for us on our last day in the fridge as it was a very hot day so we could cycle that day too ) . We have stayed here twice . The amazing architecture of the building and the panoramic view of serenity , trees , green , hills and sheep is our dream . No one around and total peace . The building is 16th century and steeped in history . Will defintely stay again . The cycling routes are awesome . No cars . The beach of criccieth is beautiful ( 5 miles by bike ) walking the mountain and river at beddgelert is stunning . Cycling round the roads surrounding snowdon etc. Sitting outside the cottage at night in total silence . Wow

What a fantastic location, surrounded by magnificent mountains and so peaceful as well.

The hosts were amazing, so helpful and friendly. The property itself is so unique with so much history to it. It is located in the perfect place to explore so many other places in the area.

We had a very good time and the house was brilliant and the owners were excellent nothing to much trouble

Lovely peaceful isolated location of this delightful charming Grade2 listed cottage but stone curved stairs rather a challenge, not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Family owners were very friendly and helpful checked with us several times that everything was ok. Cottage was very clean and provision of items in kitchen met all or needs right down to jay cloths. Really enjoyed watching the lambs playing in the fields.

Everything you need available, Owners very obliging, pleasant and friendly, views stunning very peaceful, could do with garden furniture to sit out and enjoy scenary, lots of places to walk.

A little peice of heaven in Wales

Enjoyed a very relaxing, comfortable week at this property.

A total getaway from busy life with just the sounds of lambs, sheep, cows and a cuckoo for company. The owners were very friendly and met us on arrival and popped by a few times to check all was ok. They were easily on hand if required. The location is very rural (we loved this!) however Porthmadog is only a 10 minute drive away to reach all the local amenities. We have already rebooked for next year!

The owners were helpful and available (for chats and informing about the cottage and local area plus their farm work).

The cottage was immaculate and welcoming after long days exploring. It warmed up quickly when the heating was on. It contained all we needed for a comfortable stay.

A wonderful holiday in a wonderful location!

!!

The cottage was ideally suited to us, well equipped and clean.

We were very happy there in wonderful scenery. Friendly farmers. Some light bulbs needed changing, and some explanatory notes regarding heating and hot water would be useful. The double bed could do with updating. The Sykes listing is misleading, saying the property is detached, and not mentioning that it is part of two joined holiday lets. We booked this holiday cottage to be on our own, without adjoining neighbours.

We were looking for somewhere remote and peaceful, but within easy travelling distance of potential days out and places to visit, and this was perfect.

Very roomy, and slightly quirky, but a comfortable, well equipped farmhouse that we all enjoyed during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was lovely really homely and inviting.

Felt at home straightaway once we were unpacked. It was in a lovely location. It was nice to be surrounded by the hills. The hosts were really friendly and responsive and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again.

Spiral staircase to the first floor was awkward to navigate and it would be useful to highlight this in the listing.

It is a wonderful house and in the most wonderful location and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Amazing stay in a beautiful old farmhouse on a Welsh hillfarm.

Friendly and caring hosts. We had a refreshing restful week in a beautiful place and can't wait for our return.

An excellent old house located in a perfect position, away from the crowds.

The house was warm, comfortable and well-equipped. The cleaning was immaculate. The property hosts live up the road and were incredibly helpful, friendly and also very supportive when we had a bit of a family crisis whilst away.

Such a beautiful, clean, characterful property in a stunning quiet rural location away from the noise of the world.

With warm and friendly owners who are extremely helpful and welcoming. A must rent cottage if you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of the city. Will be returning in the future. Thank you

A gorgeous property with charm and character in a spectacular location.

Edward, the owner, was thoughtful and welcoming and made our stay all the more pleasant. Would recommend and return.
