  • "We had a wonderful week at Grafog farm."

    The Welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. The house was so homely and comfortable that it really was a home from home. Serena and Simon were lovely hosts, always friendly and caring. We enjoyed visiting Elvis and Alfie, the horses every morning and also seeing the new foal. The area is great for visiting Llyn and we particularly liked visiting the Dorothea quarry just a short distance away. It was great for photography. We hope to come back soon.

    Lovely to have you to visit, glad you enjoyed Dorothea quarry at Nantlle it is very interesting and so much history. Hopefully you had some great photos from that area. Thank you for visiting and for the kind words. Best wishes, Simon, Serena, Elvis & Alfie! Property Owner

  • "Grafog farm cottage is beautiful, we didn’t want to leave."

    The hosts have really thought of everything, it really is like a home from home. It was also so clean and tidy. The kitchen is so well equipped, beds are comfortable, plenty of towels and all other amenities you could need for your stay. The fireplace in the living room is beautiful, on arriving at the farm house the hosts had pre-made the fire for us, put ice in the freezer and left a lovely welcome basket of goodies, fresh eggs and milk and butter in the fridge, so gratefully appreciated after a long drive. The location is perfect for exploring, beautiful beaches, castles, lakes, mountains and zip worlds all within an hours drive at the most. We met Simon and he happily showed our boys their horses and was very friendly, I have also had email contact with Serena as we left an item behind that she kindly offered to post on to us. I would definitely recommend this beautiful farm house and we would love to go back, thank you for a lovely holiday.

    We are very pleased you all enjoyed your stay here. All the horses love the attention! Thank you for your lovely review, and may see you all again at some point. Best wishes, Simon & Serena Property Owner

    The cottage was perfect and Simon and Serena were excellent hosts. Thank you very much for the extremely generous welcome hamper and all the eggs! We have been to many cottages over the years and this was certainly one of the best - well located for Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula and Anglesey, beautifully decorated, cosy and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.

    It is such a beautiful cottage with everything you could wish for provided and such comfy beds - our children were very happy to have a double bed each too! Our dog loved the garden and settling down in front of the aga and the log burner. The welcome gifts from the owners were a lovely surprise when we arrived. The location is perfect for exploring so many beautiful areas - Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula or Anglesey are just a short drive away. We’re already thinking about when we will be able to come back to stay.

  • "This was a delightful cottage ."

    We had 5 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room . The cottage was spotless on arrival and Simon and Serena were always on hand to answer our queries . The garden was lovely and was very secure for our 2 dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There was a hamper on arrival which we were very grateful for and a further batch of fresh eggs were delivered mid week. We ate in most nights which we found to be a pleasant experience and had great fun trying to master the Aga! In fact one night we managed to produce a very tasty meal with fresh produce from the local farm shop and butchers which was within walking distance . We did eat out one night and can recommend the Goat Inn - super food , and well staffed which is not so usual these days . The cottage is very well situated in a peaceful location for exploring all of Snowdonia . All in all we regard this cottage as one of the best we have stayed in so far and would highly recommend. In fact , we have decided to return next year!

    We really appreciate your very kind words Anne. So happy you and the family (and the four legged part of the family! Property Owner

    What an amazing place. Serena and Simon have thought of everything. We have stayed at numerous cottages and this one by far was the best equipped. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen and lounge were great for the 7 of us and has adequate seating. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable with plenty of storage. A well appointed bathroom with both bath and store are shower was fine for everyone. The downstairs toilet was a godsend. On arrival we were greeted with a wonderful welcome package that had everything you could wish for. Grafog Farm is set within the working farm but equally private. Mr Kellogg, the family rooster didn’t really bother us. The Sheep Gees came frequently to see what was going on.

    Thank you for the very kind review Margaret. So glad you and the family enjoyed the area and the cottage, and had a lovely break despite the weather in summer! Maurice, Robin and Barry (the Sheep Gees) are a nosy lot Property Owner

  • "What a fabulous cottage, truly a home from home."

    Spotlessly clean and well equipped, with spacious rooms very nicely decorated and furnished. The hosts have very thoughtfully provided the cottage with everything their guests could need and the welcome basket left for us on arrival was an additional very pleasant surprise. There are lots of brochures, maps and information about the area, as well as instructions for all the appliances. We didn’t want for anything. Grafog Cottage is private, but not isolate, with plenty of parking and its own garden which isn’t overlooked. Its location was perfect for us; a 10 minute drive into Caernarfon and 20-40 minutes easy driving to just about every where else in the Snowdonia region, including Llanberis, Anglesey, Conwy, Llyn Peninsula, Harlech and Portmeirion. Don’t hesitate – book it!

    Thank you very much for the lovely review. We are pleased you had a great time exploring what North Wales has to offer. We seem to be in a good location for those who want to go out and explore the area. Best wishes Simon & Serena. Property Owner

  • "We arrived to an immaculately clean house."

    There was a beautiful hamper included. We were greated when we arrived, and the owners were always on hand if we need them. Equally we felt like we had complete privacy and didn't feel intruded upon at all. The rear garden is very dog secure which was wonderful and very important to us with our escape artist collie. The instructions for everything in the house were clear and easy to follow. The wood burner was laid ready to light with a few nights of wood and paper to get us started. The beds are comfortable and the whole house was always warm. There is a footpath accessible from the top of the farm without having to cross a road, but there is also a cycle path just on the other side of the road with great access to surrounding villages. It was quiet and beautiful and just what we needed thank you!

    We also have a collie who can magically disappear! Glad you enjoyed the stay and thank you. Property Owner

    Property was finished to such a high standard but still felt homely and comfortable for dogs. Hard flooring downstairs and a boot/utility room was ideal! Enclosed gardens too. Plenty of parking for my large truck. Beds and sofas were comfy and the shower was great, much needed after days out. Locations perfect for beaches, mountains, trips to Anglesey. Beautiful welcome package and fresh eggs during our stay, plus a good supply of logs (the fire was built for our first night, lovely touch thank you!) The animals there were gorgeous! Honestly couldn't recommend more and can't wait to go back. Hosts were both super approachable but respectful. Only down fall, the photos don't do it justice!

    The owners, Simon and Serena, live next door. They were amazing hosts, friendly and always helpful. Grafog has a great big kitchen, and we enjoyed the challenge of learning to cook on an Aga. There’s plenty of parking, a secluded garden, and decent WiFi. A second bathroom would be a bonus for a larger group. Grafog is set back from a main road which means fast access north to Caernarfon and south to Criccieth and Porthmadog. If you cross the main road there’s a very long cycle track which is great for walking the dog. We’d happily return to Grafog; recommended.

  • "This is the best holiday we've had a for a long time."

    North Wales is just beautiful and Grafog Cottage was an absolute treat. From start to finish, we felt very welcome and little things like the bara brith and fresh eggs from the farm made it even more welcoming. It felt like a home from home and I could have stayed all summer. Being an older cottage I was worried the ceilings would be low but we had ample head room so at 6 foot 2 we had no issues. The enclosed garden was lovely and we enjoyed many a mealtime out on the picnic table and used the barbecue. The dog was very happy and the kids had space to run around. The floors creak and the doors squeak but it's full of character and you can tell the owners put the time and effort into making it cosy and welcoming. It is well equipped and don't think we wanted for anything in terms of facilities. Plenty hot water when you need it, just remember to pop on the boiler in the laundry room. There's also a rotary dryer out the back if the weather allows. The sitting room was comfortable for watching Wimbledon. If I could bring my own mattress, I don't think I would ever leave. Away from the cottage, the farm shop at Inigo Jones is a must for BBQ supplies, fruit and veg. They do a brilliant Welsh breakfast in the adjacent cafe. I've not been to such a friendly place in a long time. We went to Anglesey Transport Museum at Serena's recommendation and was a good day out for petrolheads young and old. Sygun Copper Mine was also a popular trip. Other highlights included trips to Betws-y-Coed, Great Orme, Llandudno promenade, Pwllheli, Beddgelert and Caernarfon. The coastal drive down to Porthmadog is also beautiful. Closer to home there are walks for the dog right from the farm cottage that take you down on to the Caernarfon-Bryncir cycle-path. We didn't want to leave and we've already booked for next year. The next time we'll be bringing the bikes though!

    The four of us in the group spent much time sitting on the long bench seats that ran down the length of the equally long table. It was a pleasure to be able to sit around the table enjoying our meals and socialising, much in the same way as it would have been when it was a working farm. The lounge was roomy, with comfortable sofas. The wood stove was a little bit of a hassle. It was rather temperamental and somewhat difficult to manage. Despite operating the the air flow devices as per the instruction book, it was often a case of all or nothing. Upstairs the four bedrooms where all of a good size. They all had plenty of storage space, were clean and tidy with comfortable beds. The upstairs bathroom suite was modern, clean and tidy, complete with both a shower and and a very large bath were one could enjoy a long, leisurely soak.

    Parking is excellent. The cottage is well situated being set back from the road but in a convenient location to explore the area. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. A good holiday. Thank you.

  • "We had a lovely stay in May."

    The house is lovely and spacious, we were there as 6 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and it never felt cramped at all. The living room was a lot nicer than it looked on the pictures and the kitchen and utility are well equipped, everywhere was very clean and the bathroom is nice and modern. This is a great base, there are lots of places to visit within a 30 minute drive. There is a small campsite at the bottom of the garden, this wasn't an issue for us, there were only a couple of people staying there and there was no noise disruption, the garden is large and the campsite is mainly obstructed by trees. The blinds in the bedrooms are very thin so if you're travelling with a young child it might be worth taking a travel blind. The owner was nice and helpful and left fresh eggs from the chickens, we would stay here again if we were visiting this part of Wales.

  • "The house was so comfortable the owners were very helpful."

    Getting lovely fresh eggs was great! The location for north wales was superb. Highly recommended. The only thing was it allows dogs but the garden isn’t secure to let them off so was a bit of a nuisance first thing in the morning at night as had to take them on lead.
