• "Wonderful cottage, everything you could wish for."

  Beds were extremely comfortable. Garden is very shaded/overgrown high trees so doesn't get the sun, but still a little gem and very secure for the dogs, and we loved listening to the owls on an evening. We had a wonderful stay.

  Thanks for your lovely feedback Richard. So glad you and your dogs enjoyed your stay and slept well too. Property Owner

• "Another fabulous stay at Minafon with four adults and two dogs."

  The cottage is well positioned for some lovely walks in the Berwyns and South East part of Eryri National Park. We recommend fish and chips takeaway from Market Square in Llanrhaeadr, as well as Sunday roast at The Railway Inn down the road in Penybontfawr. The cottage is well stocked with utensils and basics and we cooked in the cottage a lot.

• "We had a fabulous time in this lovely house in the peaceful village of Llangynog."

  It's a wonderful place to recharge your batteries and to forget about work and normal day to day life. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and warm. We have stayed there several times before, but the improvements the new owners have made mean that it's now even better. One small issue with the heating was resolved really quickly when we contacted the owners who were very friendly and helpful. We are hoping to return very soon.

  Thanks Jennifer. So glad you enjoyed your stay and liked the updates to the cottage. Lovely to speak with you and glad we were able to solve the thermostat issue promptly for you. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

• "This cottage is perfect."

  We took our 2 children and 2 dogs and had the most wonderful time. Situated in the mountains, the views are beautiful and the walks plentiful. We ordered our groceries via click and collect and collected on the way, but there is a Spar and local shop a short drive away. The freezer space is small so be mindful of that, but this did not cause us any issues at all. I would book again in a heartbeat.

  Glad you had a lovely family break Cimone. What a good idea to use click and collect. Look forward to welcoming you back sometime. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our holiday, very clean and tidy, enjoyed our welcome pack,lovely views."

  However we would like to mention about the garden I think because of the huge trees there were less sunlight in the garden i think the trees need trimming, otherwise everything was great would definitely recommend.

  Hi Arjina Glad you enjoyed your stay and the cottage. There has certainly been a growth spurt and we have trimmed some of the trees within our boundary since your visit. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "Minafon has been beautifully transformed by the new owners with quality furnishings, a generous open country cottage style kitchen/dining room and a cosy comfortable lounge, with many table lamps creating warmth and focal points throughout the cottage which we loved."

  Lots of traditional features remain and many added special little touches made by the owners gave it a feel more like a home than a holiday cottage. Our family have stayed in Llangynog many times over the past 12 years and we would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend this wonderful cottage! Thank you Martin and Clare, we had a brilliant week and will book again hopefully in the not too distant future.

  Thanks for your lovely feedback on this site and in pur guest book. Our housekeeper was thrilled you commented on her high standards. So glad you enjoyed Minafon and our improvement s. Hope you will be back! Property Owner

• "This is our second trip to Minafon, we loved it so much that we visited again a year later."

  The cottage is small but cosy, located in a village with a welcoming local pub and some stunning walks right on the doorstep. We visited with our friends and our two dogs, which it's a perfect size for four people - the lovely garden is secure for the dogs (three foot fencing). My recommendations for others trip is to bring some firewood for the woodburner as the nearest shop didn't have any in stock and the cottage is cold in the winter - as you would expect from a lovely old stone cottage.

  Glad you enjoyed your stay Emily. Thanks for the heads up re the Post Office running out of firewood. We now warn guests to come prepared as it's so cosy with the log burner! Hope to see you and your dogs again soon. Property Owner

  Such a beautiful village with great walks all around and only a short drive to Lake Vyrnwy.
