Mrs Tuft
May 2021

“The cottage was absolutely lovely, nice, clean and tidy.”

We had contact with the owner with one minor issue and they had it sorted very quickly with no hassle what so ever. The garden was safe for our dogs and even the neighbour made us feel welcome! I would definitely stay there again! Lovely walks close by and the sheep watching us through the window were so cute!

“We had a wonderful holiday, the area is extremely beautiful, and we were lucky enough to watch dramatic sunsets over the sea every night.”

We were for-warned about the size of the bathroom by previous reviews so we were prepared. I being 5"2 could stand upright but my husband is 6 foot so had to contort himself to stand by the sink. The major problem was the cleanliness, I would have expected it to be cleaner especially right now. There were fingerprints all over the windows and doors and the floor was sticky. I was also a bit disappointed that there was no fuel for the fire, and it was full of ash . It would also be a good idea to bring your own knife as they are all blunt, one was usable, but not very efficient. Inspite of these gripes, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but it would have been nicer if it had been cleaned, and if there was a mop available, that would have helped! Anna

“Lovely cottage lovely location just a few issues garden not secure dog could escape into neighbouring gardens.”

Not very well equipped in the kitchen. Lovely little welcoming pack when we arrived the view from the garden is superb and great walks on your doorstep looking forward to staying again hopefully the track to the cottage will have some work done on it as can be quite difficult to get some cars up it.

“Loved the cottage, not the first time we have been.”

Perfect location for beaches and the mountains, fantastic walks from the door.

Mr Sweetnam September 2020

“A quaint/quirky hillside cottage with stunning veiws down to Dinas Dinlle, Anglesey & on a really clear day Irelands Wicklow mountains.”

It's not a bad spot to "cabin up" either if the weather does it's worst with a Co op, a bakery & a couple of chippies/takeaways a 10 minute drive away in Penygroes. Has a secure (ish) garden for kids &/or dogs, we had our 2 dogs with us. Plenty of quiet roads, paths & tracks to walk around the cottage & the beaches at Dinas Dinlle, Aberdesach & Pontllyfni are only a 10-15 minute drive away. We loved it & would definitely stay here again. Richard & Donna Sweetnam

Miss Jones September 2020

“Absolutely loved it, had the best week away.”

Definitely exceeded our expectations and so much cosier in real life too. We stayed for 6 nights and it was a perfect base to travel to Caernarfon and also Abersoch way. The views are amazing, we watched the sunset almost every day and the stars on a clear night was spectacular. Would recommend staying here if you want a cosy getaway! Will definitely be booking again for next year!

Mrs Lugg September 2020

“Beautiful cosy cottage with the most amazing views.”

We will be back next year.

Mrs Moe August 2020

“The house was cute , comfy and clean.”

Right in the countryside, with sheep coming up to the door! The view from the garden and windows was amazing: right over the sea with beautiful sunsets. The nearby beach Dinas Dinlle is only 10 mins away. Easy free parking, cafe and toilets. Penygroes has all you need with excellent fish and chips and chinese takeaway too.The beach is stoney at high tide and sandy at low tide , so loads of fun for the kids. The Owner and Manager where both really helpful and friendly. We had an excellent holiday!

Mr Jones August 2020

“Just returned from a weeks holiday in Bryn Morfa with the grandkids.”

We had a lovely holiday and were extremely pleased with the cottage. It was clean, had everything we needed and the location was perfect for both beaches and mountains. This is a 200 year old slate miners cottage which has charm in abundance, we paid a lot more to go to a smaller cottage, out of season in Scotland which wasn’t a patch on Bryn Morfa. I have no hesitation in recommending it. We intend booking it again in the near future.

Mr Perkins September 2019

“Overall the cottage was lovely, nice welcome pack, there are a couple of issues, the road to the cottage was a dirt track and was very bumpy and my car scraped the ground, this is the only way in and out, the last thing is the stairs in the cottage are very steep, we had to come down sideways due to the size of the steps.”

- Mr Perkins, September 2019
Mrs Edwards August 2019

“The cottage is lovely and in a beautiful location, but the stairs are very deep and steep, my elderly mum really struggled with them, the the only toilet is upstairs.”

This was the only issue, so the cottage is not suitable for the elderly, the ceiling on the stairs is very low so caution is needed, but there is a warning sign. This cottage is perfect for people who enjoy walking, my dogs loved it, stunning views.

- Mrs Edwards, August 2019
Mr Jones June 2019

“The location was lovely and the cottage was nice, though it was a little hard to find.”

There was tea , coffee, milk and sugar when we arrived and the cottage was comfortable The gravel path to get to the parking facility was very poor. The garden was very overgrown and not visitor friendly. The bedroom had a sliding door which was not attached to the runners and had to be left open.

- Mr Jones, June 2019
Mrs Drinkwater May 2019

“We had a nice chilled time cottage nice comfy”

- Mrs Drinkwater, May 2019
Mrs Ruck October 2018

“Nice quaint cottage with great views and comfy beds.”

Very clean with well equipped kitchen and attractive seating area at the back. Facilities could be improved,-no signal for tv, no welcome pack with info about heating system/recycling etc and bathroom rather too quaint!

- Mrs Ruck, October 2018
Dr Brown August 2018

“Was accidentally given incorrect key code but that was quickly rectified on arrival.”

Also sink and toilet were broken but these were fixed on the Sunday. Otherwise it would have been helpful to have handsoap in the bathroom.

- Dr Brown, August 2018
Mrs Silva July 2018

“We arrived at night and it was really difficult to find the cottage, as it is in a hiding place, far from everything and we did not feel safe in the area.”

The price is too expensive for the cottage as it’s a really small place. Some bulbs were not working and kitchen utensils could be better and a bit more clean than it was. I’d not recommend this place to a friend, I was disappointed.

- Mrs Silva, July 2018
Mr Squires July 2018

“I was disappointed that certain things were lacking.”

1.No instructions and operating details. It took a while to jiggle the WiFi into working, TV was signal-less on arrival and only after reconnecting arial did I get a signal. No Info on waste disposal, bin day (though there was a substantial build up of waste in the 3 wheelie bins which were full to overflowing at the bottom of garden) 2. Garden was so overgrown, especially the privet hedge which blocked the steps down to the bin and caused one to become soaked through pushing past it as the weather was unseasonably wet on 4 out of 7 days. 3. No tea-towels which irritated me. It happens too often and I object to dragging tea-towels with me from Germany whenever I book a property which claims to provide bed linen & towels. 4. Found the ironing board but disappointingly there was no iron. A futile effort to provide facilities that sadly failed. 5. There was no warning of reduced headroom in the bathroom. It drove me to distraction how often I bumped my head whilst cleaning my teeth or washing hands after using toilet. 6. No warning of the pot-holed access road which constantly caused the underside of my car to come into contact with it, actually track not road... 7. Eventually I managed to have a warm shower without burning myself. The mixer on the downstairs shower has perhaps seen better days or is poorly conceived in combination with the combi boiler. 8. I assumed there was a septic tank, though the contact assures me there isn't, as whenever one released water from inside the property (as when using the washing machine) there was a dreadful stink in the garden. On the good side, the sitting room was comfortable and on the cold miserable evenings the multi fuel burner created a cosy end to the day.

- Mr Squires, July 2018
Mrs Turner June 2018

“Bryn morfa was extremely clean, small but comfortable, lovely veiws and bonus internet connection.”

Downside for us was parking through access road as we were in a mercedees van, also the garden was not suitable for our two small dogs as a bit overgrown but apart from that had an enjoyable stay.

- Mrs Turner, June 2018
Mrs Budd May 2018

“Perfect cottage, well equip with everything, even remembered the things I'd forgotten, like a bin bag.”

We will be booking again as family near by. Thank you

Mr Hennell October 2016

“A lovely few days away in a beautiful little cottage.”

Good sea views from the garden, dining table and both bedrooms. Well located with lots of walks from the door. Couldn't get hot water from the dedicated shower but used the shower in the half bath. A lovely multi fuel stove for those cold nights! Good chance we will be back :-)

- Mr Hennell, October 2016
Mr Butters May 2016

Miss Grindrod September 2015

“This was a lovely cottage with an amazing view of the sea.”

It was fantastic to be able to take the dogs walking straight from the cottage door. Very comfortable, clean & cosy. Made a fabulous base for our holiday!

Mrs Dimery May 2014

“Loved our holiday in Bryn Morfa, we stayed for two weeks and it was an excellent base with easy access to Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.”

The cottage was cosy and well equipped, very peaceful and the views to the sea from the conservatory and garden were lovely with beautiful sunsets every evening. Didn't want to come home!

- Mrs Dimery, May 2014
