Escape to the country

We have had an amazing time in this beautiful cottage. The location was just what we wanted, tranquil but a great base for touring the area. We climbed Snowdon during our stay, visited Barmouth beach, king Arthur’s labyrinth and Bala. There is so much to see and do in the area that we will have to come back and stay here again. Was also great to see the aircraft on the Mach Loop. Liz was an amazing host, really friendly and provided us with plenty of info before our stay. The cottage was really clean and comfortable and we instantly felt like we had a home. We loved sitting in the garden watching the sheep and talking to walkers passing by. Thank you for a perfect break. Angie, Adam, Eva and the dogs

Lovely quiet stay

We stayed in October half term, and found the property easily with the directions given by Elizabeth. It’s a very quiet location with two neighbours (both vacant when we stayed) with footpaths for hiking straight from the door. An hour or so from Snowdon, a little more for Bangor but the roads are decent to navigate around. The local town has a few great eateries, and the co-op is well stocked. Tesco delivered out to us, so don’t forget to book your slot early The shower is a bit of a squeeze at 6’ tall but you can make it work!

Perfect location

Great location for us, only 1 hour to Snowdon or 10 minutes to the beach, nearest town has good facilities such as co-op and good sized spar shop, good food available in the pubs and a very good chip shop, all in all, great location

Perfectly located and tranquil

Lovely location and perfect size for a family of 4 (providing kids are happy sharing a room). 5 minutes from the local town with necessary amenities, and the base of Cadair Idris to get breathtaking views from the summit. The only slight negatives were -the shower/bathroom, over 5'2 is too tall for the shower so need to use the bath instead -no undercover outside seating, we had intermittent showers all week, not cold, but couldn't make the most of the views and tranquility. The host is lovely, accomodating and there for anything if needed. We would/will most definitely go back again.
