• "Loved our stay despite the weather."

  The newborn lambs on the doorstep made a very enjoyable sight first thing in the morning. Cliff is a great host. Even at the busiest of times for him, he always found time to chat. Will definitely return.

• "A lovely cottage in a fantastic location."

  Lots of things to see and do in the area, but if you fancy a quiet day then sit in the sun room looking at the views or sit in front of the log burner which are both relaxing. Cliff is such a great host and always found time to speak with us even when he was busy attending to his sheep. Will be back again sometime.

• "Amazing cottage, with amazing views across the welsh countryside including the hills ad the sea."

  The cottage is just like the pictures if not better. Everything was kept in good order and to a high standard and the property was very clean and well presented throughout. Cliff was a great host and was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and departure and gave some great tips on places to visit. Would recommend to anyone. Only issue we had was we were not sure how to operate the main oven (top oven was fine) or whether it was out of order? Overall had a great stay!

• "Myself and family plus Freddie the dog enjoyed a two week holiday in this cottage at the beginning of June."

  Well, where do I begin!? The cottage is in a fabulous rural location but within easy reach of Tremadog (Spar) and Porthmadog (Tesco). The cottage itself is fantastic, immaculately clean, a well equipped eat in kitchen and lovely sun room from which we enjoyed fabulous sunsets every evening (we had two weeks of absolutely glorious weather) and the views of the mountains and sea were breathtaking. It has a patio and well enclosed garden which was great for Freddie - who loved the owners dogs especially Lucky! I must say that Cliff the owner is a fantastic host always on hand should you need him, has a wealth of knowledge and he also left us some delicious Welsh treats to enjoy on our arrival. There is so much to see in the area, including the local steam railway and we also climbed Snowdon! All in all we had the best relaxing holiday and would definately love return in the future. Thanks again, Cliff!

• "Arriving at Pen Y Braich Uchaf was a wonderful surprise."

  The photos do not do it justice. The accomodation was perfect for a three generation stay and the views were amazing. Cliff was a great host and always available. The situation was rural and peaceful yet so close to everything. Bonnie the dog had plenty of room in the garden to play which was fully enclosed. Loved our stay and will be hard to find a place better suited to us as a family.

• "Wow! What a beautiful cottage and location."

  It was clean and very spacious with stunning views out of every window. The property had everything we needed and more. Our favourite place to sit was in the sun room with its breathtaking views. The views are outstanding and the garden areas are lovely for the children to play and watch the sheep over the garden fence. We stayed during lambing season and loved seeing all the little lambs everywhere. The owner is a really nice man who greeted us on arrival and left some nice welsh treats for us to eat inside the property. It is nicely based to explore Snowdonia, Anglesey and all 3 zip world locations, without having to travel to far. I would love to go back one summer or at Christmas for a cosy break.

The views from the sun room were amazing. Lovely area to stay with lots of lovely walks. Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you

• "Simply outstanding cottage, clean, modern, spacious and above all comfortable."

  Staying in March we weren't expecting the best of weather but once inside the cottage after a day out we were nicely insulated from the wind and rain, especially with the central heating and large log burner. Being lambing season we didn't get to see Cliff the owner to much but on the occasions we did he was only too happy to tell us some history of the property and area, just be aware that he has a goose in the field next to the cottage who can be very vocal and has no idea of the time, so if you're a light sleeper you may want to take some earplugs

  We had a great vacation in the beautiful cottage! It is very spacious and well designed, very comfortable and accommodated easily four adults and two five year olds. We had a great time! The views are breathtaking and many hikes and spots of interest nearby. The house has well equipped kitchen and all you need for BBQ. Our advice to guests - make sure you get there before it is dark to enjoy the magical sunset and to find it easily. The directions in the confirmation email are accurate.

• "We loved our time in the Welsh hills and our host Cliff, had a friendly, welcoming and good-humoured nature which made us feel at home."

  The cottage was immaculately presented and we found that we had all we needed for a whole week, including a well stocked kitchen and BBQ which we used extensively. There are wonderful views across the valleys from the property, as well as from the mountain-top just a short walk from the front door. Our puppy had a great time too and was thrilled to meet the enthusiastic and curious resident working sheepdogs. Can’t fault the place and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the countryside with the space and tranquility to get away from it all.

• "We found the property difficult to find as the access gate has the farm name on it and not Pen Y Braich."

  Its a very steep narrow road and when you don't know the area not easy especially after a long journey.There are three gates to open and close and no shop or pub nearby. The property whilst accepting pets does not have a dog safe garden and so each time our dogs needed to go out it had to be on a lead or risk loosing them.Plus it is next to a farm.This also meant no doors open in the warm weather.We also experienced sheep in the garden(and mess after)also sheep dogs in and out of the garden.Not relaxing. The property was well stocked and clean.Good washing machine,cooker and fridge plenty of utensils and crockery.The property would benefit from blinds in the conservatory as this was unusable due to heat and also at the lounge windows as unable to see when sun streaming in. The property has a superb position for stunning views.

• "We were blown away by our stay at Pen Y Braich Uchaf."

  The views are are more than just spectacular and the walks from the door step are fantastic. If you can get to the top of the hill behind the cottage, the scenery will take your breath away. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, there was plenty of space to relax in and very handy being all on one level for our less mobile mums. Its location was perfect for all area's we wanted to explore and I would highly recomend Dylans in Criccieth for a meal out. Having lost our dog prior to our trip, we were so happy to be able to meet and pet the farm dogs, old Roy, Cae who is just about the most intelligent dog I think I have ever met, and little 3 month old Sam who's just fascinating to watch learn the ropes hearding the flock. And there's Goh, Goh, the goose is happy to have a conversation with you. And not forgetting Cliff the host who offers a warm welcome and lots of information and history about the farm and surrounding areas. We are sorry for keeping Cliff from his work, everytime we heard the quad bike we went to look for him as he was so intresting to talk to. A truly wonderful experience that we will never forget. Thank you.

  There were no ramps into the property so we had to lift him in and out. There is no need for the arrival time to be put back to 5pm, that’s too late, pretty sure most cottages are being cleaned in the same way. It doesn’t take 7 hours! Means that first day is cut much shorter. Other than that a wonderful cottage, glorious surroundings and a lovely but non-intrusive owner. Best cottage we have ever stayed in without doubt. We will return!

• "Cottage was fantastic."

  Location was beautiful. View was breathtaking. Neighbours were friendly (sheep!) Nothing was any trouble for Cliff, he was a perfect host. We arrived on a wet and windy evening and he had a cosy roaring fire lit for us, absolute bliss. The cottage has everything you could ever need for a few days away. It was comfortable and clean and the walk-in shower was lovely. The stunning picture window in the conservatory has views to die for. In clear weather, it was easy to see as far as Pwllheli, which is approximately 15 miles away. The location was perfect, near Porthmadog for shops and near stunning sandy beaches for long dog walks. On the edge of Snowdonia National Park for mountains, walks and lovely waterfalls. The area is so full of lots of things to see and do. We would definitely recommend trying the ice cream shop in Beddegelert - yummy!! We wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again to come back and explore this area of Wales more. You won't be disappointed!
