• "Beautiful cottage."

  We were a family of 6 who stayed & it was spacious enough that we wasn’t all on top of eachother. It is well equipped with everything you might possibly need. It is a little off the main route, but that’s what we loved about it as we weren’t disturbed by noise or light pollution. We were close enough to everything we needed, we know the route to Harlech off by heart now. We loved the peaceful mornings of sitting with a cup of tea listening to the stream & the birds sing. Local sheep were very friendly too! Ben & Sandra were excellent hosts, they were very helpful when it was needed. We would 100% come back here again.

• "The directions to find the cottage were very confusing and not accurate."

  After a long journey to get to Wales the last thing I needed was to follow the instructions and find myself stuck up a dirt track grounding my car. You do not keep left at the house with the terracotta door, you simply follow the road up the hill for 3 miles. Once at the cottage the owner Ben popped to greet us and made us feel very welcome. I had updated my booking to 3 adults but this information had not been shared with the owner. Ben brought us the extra towels that we needed for the 3rd person straight away. The cottage is very well presented and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry you found the directions confusing. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again Property Owner

• "Absolutely loved the cottage,we as a couple found it great."

  The german shepherd we had with us loved the space the secure garden and great walks.This place is soo off the beaten track, if you want to get away from it all this is where to go but not too far away for a short drive if you wanted anything.The cottage it's self we found amazing and would definitely consider going back and has all what you need for a great comfortable stay.The owners we met a couple of times as its part of an active farm of which they was busy with lambing,but if you wanted anything or any info they was near if needed but did not interfere with your stay,both were very friendly approachable and informative.Overall fantastic stay which is quite remote but we wanted this and would definitely recommend and would like to return to again, Thank you for a great place and a great cittage,we loved it ;-)

  The cottage is just lovely in gorgeous surroundings. When getting there don't make the mistake of slavishly following your sat nav, go to Llanbedr first and follow the instructions given!!

• "Beautiful 500 year old cottage, full of character yet with all the modern facilities we expect."

  It is set amongst the beautiful Welsh mountains and whilst a little remote, that adds to the charm. The owners who are close by in case of need, were very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend this cottage.

• "The cottage was beautiful and had lots of character."

  Sadly the cleaning was not up to scratch and I left the place cleaner than I found it. The throws on the sofas were disgusting and filthy underneath which I discovered as I took one off to wash after a small spillage. I had to vacuum the seat as the cushions were covered in dust and crumbs. There were spiderwebs and spiders up the sides of almost all of the furniture. There was a large leak in the utility room roof which soaked my suitcase and some of my clothes which i had popped on the side. The tap water was brown and we weren’t sure if this was safe so had to buy bottled water. I wiped the work surfaces in the kitchen over when we arrived just to put my mind at rest as I have a young baby and the cloth was dirty afterwards. The main shower controls all kept coming off in your hand. Its a shame these points let it down as the cottage as it is beautiful, however I would have expected a lot more for the price that we paid for the stay.

• "The accommodation is excellent but very remote, we loved it, walking and trips to the local lakes and the beaches were fantastic."

  The house is very well laid out and looked after and furnished to an excellent. spec. Communications such as internet and phone signal are very poor to non existent, so if this is important it’s not for you. As a family retreat and getting away from it all, this was perfect. The owners were lovely, they were helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive even though they live nearby. We were fortunate that we had booked both cottages as it was an extended family break which meant the teenagers had somewhere to escape the rowdy adults. Fantastic place

  We wanted a chilled break and got exactly that,the scenery was stunning and there are lots of lovely walks and not too far from the beach. The village pubs were great for eating out even allowed us to take our dog with us. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. We will deffinately return and would highly recommend to anyone wanting peace and tranquility.

• "The cottage is a delightful retreat for anyone seeking a quiet, peaceful few days away from the chaotic world we live in."

  Ideally placed for walking/ hiking and visits to the coast. The owners were very friendly and extremely helpful. The drive from the village is a couple of miles along a single lane which could be challenging for some drivers. However the scenery and peaceful surroundings makes the effort worthwhile. It is definitely on our return to list

  Friendly helpful owners and a real homely feel with everything we needed as a family of 6. Stunning places to visit like Harlech Castle, beaches, Snowdon, even Anglesey...though expect narrow roads!

• "Enjoyed it."

  But directions from Llanbedr to the property and key information is not clear. Got lost, and got stuck behind the broken down car as it is very narrow single lane. When eventually made it to the farmhouse on bumpy long drive, could not find the key under the plant pot, it was in the door instead. Very frustrating. But once we enter the house it was perfect. Only issue was the En-suit shower was not that good.

• "We had car problems while we were there."

  This was perhaps the biggest negative we experienced because the phone and wifi availability at the property were weak. Fortunately the owners Sandra and Ben were very helpful and we eventually got back on the road. The location of the property was beautiful and peaceful and there was lots of places to visit and enjoy in the area.
