"Fantastic stay at the location."
All of our needs were cated for and we received a lovely welcome from Ann and Bryn. The house was extremely clean and very comfy, which made us feel at home from the second we stepped inside. Ann and Bryn made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely and excellent stay - they were excellent hosts. The location is central to various local towns which are all only 15/20 minutes drive away. Trawsfynydd is a nice and friendly village with shops only a 5 minute walk and the local pub provide great food and takeaway! The view from the back of the location is fabulous as we oversee the lake and mountains.
We will certainly come back again. Highly recommend. Thank you Ann and Bryn.

Bryn and Anne were wonderful and could not have been better hosts from the time we arrived to the point of leaving. Great location for travelling about the local area and returning to the warmth of a wood burns stove and some of Anne's cakes. Great stay and would do again.

"We had a fabulous holiday at 8 Pen Y Garreg."
Although we arrived a little later than anticipated we were still met by Bryn and Ann and they made sure we knew where everything was that we might need in the house. Ann had made us some cakes which was a lovely touch and a fire was readily built for us and we settled in really quickly. Bryn and Ann were able to recommend some days out and some nearby restaurants and we checked out many of the recommendations and were impressed. The house was lovely to come home to after days out. It had everything we needed. The kitchen especially was stocked with any utensil that we might need which meant we were able to cook regularly with ease. We wish we could have stayed longer than the 7 days and were sad to come home but we will certainly be returning. Thank you Bryn and Ann! :)

The region far surpassed our expectations in beauty and things to do
The house and town is is a superb base for exploring g the region ; We walked high and low, visited different coastlines and also more busy tourist attractions such as Portmeirion. There is something for everyone and this home is a base to do it from.

"The owner’s Bryn and Ann were very friendly, loved the welcome wine and fairy cakes, cottage was spotless, we had no issues with parking at the back of the cottage in our Mazda Bongo, you just need to take a bit of care driving into/out of the lane, however there is also plenty of parking on road further up and the owners are happy for you to also use their driveway."
There are plenty of walks from the cottage, without the need to take your car. The lake walk/cycle is 8.5 miles and we really enjoyed this walk and plenty of other walks to be had. Close to Coed Brenin cycle route and walking centre. Dolgellau, Cwmworthin and Betsy Coed. Also close to Zip World and Go Below if you want to do an underground mining adventure. typically it ended up raining for most of week, but the cottage was very cosy. There is a shop that sells everything you need Grocery wise, along with a pharmacy in the village. Could not fault the cottage or area and will hopefully return next year. My son was especially happy as the Wi-fi was very good, happy child happy parents.

"Byrn and Ann were perfect hosts."
Living close to the cottage they were very keen that our week's break was very enjoyable and were very attentive to ensure the cottage was comfortable for us. With so much to see in the area, a week wasn't long enough however with a bit of direction from Bryn and Ann we were able to concentrate on those areas of greater interest to us. The cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Coed y Brennin, Dolgellau and beyond and the Llyn Peninsula. For those interested in fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout, salmon and sewin, the opportunities are endless whether it is on Llyn Trawsfynydd, in the mountain lakes or on the nearby rivers, Byrn will be able to guide you in the right direction .

Good contact and advice before arrival.
Cottage is an excellent base to explore Snowdonia and The Cambrian Coast, is clean and well maintained and has all useful facilities.
Reaching the parking at the back of the property could be an issue for larger cars (no problems for a Ford Focus) but other options are available.
Would not hesitate to recommend as a holiday base.

"Bryn and Ann were wonderful hosts, showing us around the cottage when we arrived and making sure we knew where everything was."
They also gave great suggestions on sights to see and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok at the cottage. The space was perfect for 4 adults, and the log fire was really enjoyable on a rainy night. It had everything we needed.
The location was great for exploring, only 20 minutes from Portmeirion, and 50 from mount Snowdon, with incredible views all along the way. There is a lake in the village as well that is a short walking distance away.
I would highly recommend this cottage, it was the perfect base for our Wales explorations.

"Great holiday had by all."
Lovely holiday home. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. I would happily stay again. Comfortable lovely property. The only 2 things I could mention as a slight concern are 1. The parking is spacious and very good, but getting your vehicle through the pathway to the parking area is very tight. This caused a family member to scratch his car. This is no fault of the owner, it is just extremely difficult to use the entrance way if cars are parked there. 2. There was no Sky TV as advertised. So no real big deal. The good far outweigh these minor issues. The owners are lovely people and cannot do enough to assist. 10/10 for a lovely relaxing stay. Would highly recommend.

I would 100% recommend this cottage and will be returning again next time I am in Wales. The only downside is the parking; access to the rear of the property to the private parking space is incredibly tight, the parking on the road is always in demand so expect a bit of a walk to your car. The parking being the only downside it is only a mini blip, the comfort of the house and the lovely owners compensate for the parking.

The owners were just amazing, extremely nice and helpful and their house... well, within days we got so comfortable that we felt at home. Even the kids miss it already. Although the weather was far from perfect the accommodation and the people of Trawsfynydd more made up for it. Ten days was not enough to explore all there's to see in northern Wales a we'll come back first chance we have.

"The hosts were amazing they invited us into their home then walked us to the property."
On arrival there was Milk, Tea and Coffee and most importantly there was wine, processco and butterfly home made cakes.......a great start.
I stay away regularly with work and holidays so detail is important to me, the pillows, quilt and towels were top class (pillows are important to me). There was a log fire all prepared which was a welcome relief after climbling Snowdon in the rain and wind. Wi-Fi was fast and there was plenty of room for four people.
The location was very central and ideal for us for a 5 day break. Would definatley recommend this propery. Already missing the fire :-)
