"I had a wonderful holiday."
The cottage was beyond my expectations. The views were spectacular as were the sunsets. I was in a peaceful setting which was exactly what I wanted. The beaches were really close by, were clean and great for walks. There was plenty nearby to do however, I enjoyed time in the cottage as well as visiting a few local places. I had the best holiday and would most definitely go back and stay in Y Becws

"From a warm welcome including Welsh cakes and wine we enjoyed a peaceful comfortable stay."
The cottage was well equipped and the sheltered patio was a great spot to enjoy the sea views and evening sunsets.Despite being on a working farm and quite close to a small caravan we still felt we had our own quiet private space. Y Becws is ideally situated to reach Barmouth the Mawldach trail Shell island Harlech and a choice of other beaches and mountains too. The only reservation l would give is the nature of the farm track would definitely not suit a low vehicle.

"Lovely, comfortable little cottage with beautiful sea view, perfect for two."
So quiet and peaceful with just the birds for company. Everything catered for to a very high standard. Very comfortable bed, much needed after the very long walks on the fabulous, endless beaches. Gratefully received welcome pack which included home baked Welsh cakes, thank you Eirien x we will definitely booking again

"Access via a lane was challenging for my low ground clearance Mondeo."
More suited to a Range Rover type vehicle. Shower worked but was not easily controlled and not a pleasure to use. Lounge kitchen area on the small side. Well equipped but always required lights on as daylight was quite restricted. Mrs Williams did respond very quickly to the water board cutting off supply for 20 hrs.

"Absolutely stunning cottage in a very scenic location."
Really enjoyed my stay in Y Becws will be back in the future. Great welcome pack waiting for me when I arrived much appreciated and enjoyed . Thank you
-
"Perfect retreat for a couple."
Outstanding views of the coast, lovely rural environment. Cottage is very well equipped and warm and cosy. It needed to be during our stay as storm Agnes kept us in for a couple of days! There is plenty of space and the layout has been well thought through for maximum comfort. If we had to suggest anything at all it would be to fill in the potholes on the approach track please. Probably a constant problem on a hillside so visitors proceed with caution when you first arrive. We would highly recommend this cottage and would happily return.
-
"It was a brilliant little cottage."
Cosy and warm with everything you could possibly want or need. It was in a fabulous location between Harlech and Barmouth with lovely views to the sea and very peaceful. A welcome pack was there for us on arrival which was very welcome. Would recommend to anyone and would not hesitate to return.
-
"This is a fantastic cottage."
The patio area is a sun trap. there is everything there that you need for a perfect holiday. The cats and alfie are all very friendly. Bennar beach is just down the road and is perfect with it's golden sand and the dunes. We usually have walking holidays but it was so hot we spend in on the beach. Criccieth is also quite close as well as harlech castle.

"Very enjoyable stay in comfortable cottage, friendly welcome from the hosts and lovable dogs, outstanding property, centrally located for all places of interest on the coast, my wife and I highly recommend this property."
-
"Loved the cottage, smashing views."
Lovely hosts. Shame we had to come home.
-
"Wonderful little cottage on a farm with great walks and well placed for visiting the surrounding area."
-
"Y Becws was exactly as described - a beautiful, thoughtfully decorated little cottage, in a peaceful location."
It was so clean, and Mrs Williams was very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. It was close to tourist attractions, including Portmeirion and the beautiful Snowdonian National Park. Llanbedr itself was a lovely village with its own attractions on the doorstep. There were shops nearby for food, and larger supermarkets a short drive away. We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, and would happily go there again.
-
"What can we say more, it was a great experience."
Thank you all
-
"From the outside it looked a little smaller and older than I'd envisaged, that said, looks are deceptive and once inside found that there was more than enough room for me."
The property was warm, clean and well equipped and made good use of the lighting to enhance the old fireplace and oven making for relaxing evenings. Excellent shower and comfortable bed, the bedroom having view, on clearer days, out to the sea.
-
"A very nice cottage perfect for couples who want to get away and have a quiet break."
The owner mrs Williams was very friendly and attentive nothing to much trouble.highly recommend by my wife and myself.
-
"We loved this little cottage."
It was so cosy and really warm. The bed was so comfortable! The cottage was in the perfect location for exploring the area; close to Barmouth and Harlech and only about 40 mins to Snowdon. The location was lovely and peaceful with views over to the sea and the flight school. I was thrilled that there were 2 resident cobs in the field nearby, who I went to see most mornings. And the owners dogs and cat were ever so friendly. Eirian and Ethan (not sure on spelling) are lovely people and always willing to have a natter and offer help if needed, though we didn't need help as the cottage is so well equipped. We will be back for sure. Dee & Chris, Devon.

"One of the best equipped cottages we've stayed in."
Spotlessly clean, super comfy bed, so nice watching the sun rise and set over Cardigan Bay. Would definitely book again.

"Lleoliad ac eiddo gwych a chawsom ein cyfarch gan y perchennog a chawsom groeso."
Nid oedd unrhyw dabledi peiriant golchi llestri ond buan iawn y cafodd hyn ei gywiro. Rwy'n meddwl y byddai arwydd ar y ffordd fawr yn helpu i leoli'r bwthyn gan ei fod yn bellter byr i fyny llwybr garw o'r golwg. Roedd y bwthyn yn braf ac yn glyd a'r gwely yn gyfforddus iawn, felly dyma gysgu'n dda. Ar y cyfan roeddem yn hapus gyda'n dewis. Diolch.

"We spent two fantastic weeks in this romantic cottage."
The landlady was very welcoming and even provided us with a welcome bottle of rose wine, fresh eggs, half a liter of milk and some Welsh biscuits. We felt very comfortable. The place is away from the crowds overlooking the countryside and the sea. It is also a good base for exploring the area. We hope to come back one day.
-
"A very comfortable cottage for 2 people."
Very well equipped and with a lovely outside space to sit and enjoy the views over to the Llyn Peninsula. Mrs Williams was very welcoming and helpful and our best recommendation is that we have booked again for next year.
-
"Mrs Williams was most helpful."
The cottage is very attractive and equipped with everything required for a good holiday. The location gives excellent access to many interesting places. Dinner on the outside table overlooking the sea is to be highly recommended. Unfortunately there was no easy pedestrian route to the village, but this is nitpicking.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location ."
Good cycle rides and walks around.
-

Nothing was too much trouble for her. We had a lovely few days at Y Becws.
-
"Overall the facilities were excellent."
The host was friendly and helpful. A minor bathroom problem was swiftly dealt with and remedied. The lighting in the kitchen/dining area was a bit dim for my wife as she has sight problems. I would certainly go back there again at a future date.
-
"A lovely, quiet, private, well-equipped cottage for two, well situated for Snowdonia and the coast."
-
"The cottage was in a stunning location, clean and comfortable and effort had been put in to the finishing touches, we had everything we needed and more!"
The local shops and pubs were excellent and highly recommend the NorBar for food and drink, great service and good atmosphere. We were welcomed upon our arrival, and made to feel welcome, but never hassled. The dogs were so friendly and often joined us for our morning coffee. Highly recommend this lovely cottage.
-

-
"Our host Eirian ( a lovely lady,) provided us with every facility in an extremely well renovated Farm Cottage, with a lot of character, in a quiet and peaceful location."
My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday to anyone who wanted to enjoy the beauty of Wales living on a farm and only hearing the sounds of the countryside.
-
"The standard of the cottage, the location, and the completely relaxed feel meant that we had one of the most relaxing stays we have ever had."
The welcome was warm, and the hosts never bothered us once during our stay. The weather was superb and because there is also so much to do in this part of the country the time flew. It was a shame that we were only there for 4 nights as we could easily have stayed longer. We would book this cottage again in a heartbeat
-
"We had an amazing holiday - if I could give this cottage 6 stars out of 5 I would do!"
! It had a perfect view, perfect location, the cottage was wonderful - everything we dreamed of. We really needed a break - and we got absolutely everything we wanted here.

"Our hosts and locals in the area made us feel welcome from the outset."
Lovely cottage with thoughtful finishing touches and a great view of the evening sunset. Plenty footpaths in the near area - 1 week really wasn't long enough to explore them all and the nearby hills. Thank you for our much needed break
-
"A lovely remote cottage, but wrong time of year as everything had pretty much closed for the winter - my fault for not checking!"
!!!
-

The beauty and tranquillity of the location allowed us to unwind completely and spend long evenings outside looking at the ever-changing view across the bay. Perfect!

Nice that they made the effort to make you feel welcome with a bottle of wine, Welch tea cakes and the must tea, coffee and milk for after a long journey.

Nice cottage out the way quiet surroundings, limited mobile signals great for getting away from the phone, nice to sit on the patio with a pint watching the world go by whilst enjoying the view across the bay

The owners were extremely hospitable and put us at ease for our stay. The owners pets did the same. Would absolutely recommend this cottage to others

"The owners gave us a warm welcome, including milk, coffee etc and a bottle of wine which was very welcome."
As far as cleanliness is concerned I have stayed in four star hotels that were not as clean as this cottage. Overall this is a very comfortable cottage with lovely views (especially the sunsets over the sea), a well appointed bathroom and comfortable bed. The owners are friendly and surrounding area is beautiful.

"The holiday cottage/ holiday was fantastic from the beginning to the end."
Nothing was to much trouble for the owner Eieran (Mrs Williams ) she was so warm & welcoming, We would both go back to Y Becks. We came as strangers & went home friends.
-
"We have booked with Sykes 3 or 4 times before and every time it has been so easy, be it online or speaking with one of Sykes personal, always a job."
Every single property booked and spent time at, has been as described if not better. Each property has been beautifully looked after and maintained, the owners have been lovely and our holiday wonderful. The description of Y Becws was wonderful and the told us that this property was unusual and special. Y Becws exceeded our expectations it was enchanting, just a beautiful relaxing place to stay with incredible views and facilities. The owners were lovely, and the dogs just topped it. The surrounding area has so much to offer also. Like the other properties we have stayed at through Sykes, definitely on the want to do next list.

The property
Llanbedr 1 mile.
A delightful barn conversion with its own terrace and parking space with the owner's home situated 50 metres away and another holiday home nearby on a 200-acre Welsh working farm, one mile from Llanbedr.
The cottage has a slightly elevated position and is nestled between the dramatic backdrop of the Rhinog Mountain range and splendid panoramic views of the Llyn Peninsula and Bardsey Island out across Cardigan Bay to the front.
This delightful cottage is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing and romantic get away from it all break and is an ideal base for you to explore this wonderful part of North Wales and the Snowdonia National Park.
Historically an old bakery, the cottage has been lovingly renovated with many original features retained and restored.
Through the heavy oak door a wonderful wealth of charm and character awaits you and you are immediately drawn to the large impressive stone inglenook fireplace with the original bread and baking oven, with a warming gas woodburning- effect stove on a raised slate hearth.
The living accommodation is open plan and the high ceilings extenuate the space, with exposed beams and purlins.
The cosy sitting area is perfect for snuggling up on the comfy sofa together to enjoy your favourite film with the warming glow of the fire to enjoy on those chillier evenings.
There is a dining area for those romantic candle lit suppers and a well-appointed kitchen area in which to prepare them.
The pretty bedroom is spacious and light, with a high ceiling and beams and enjoys a lovely outlook and the patio door leading out to a private courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy that early morning coffee.
Completing this beautiful cosy cottage, the shower room boasts a hydrotherapy steam shower ideal after a day walking in the hills!
Linking the living accommodation and the bedroom and shower room is arguably one of the nicest hallways youll walk through; fully glazed on one side with French doors opening onto the private and sheltered courtyard where you can sit and relax with a chilled glass of something and drink in those fantastic views, watch the sun dip down into Cardigan Bay, or perhaps even enjoy a little stargazing in the night sky and reminisce over the day.
Here time passes you by at a more leisurely pace, and after a long day walking in the hills you can return to this peaceful little bit of heaven on earth and simply relax.
The pretty little village of Llanbedr is a mile down the road where there are two pubs, a village shop and a local butchers shop.
There are some amazing walks from the door and Cwm Nantcol, Cwm Bychan and the Roman Steps are all close by.
The beaches along this stretch of the North Wales coastline are beautiful with miles and miles of sandy shores and there are many cycling trails (cycle hire is available in the village) to enjoy.
This fantastic location also boasts good golf courses, medieval castles such as Harlech Castle just three miles away, the Snowdonia National Park and miles of stunning coastline.
This cottage is a superb romantic retreat from which to explore this delightful area all year round.
About the location
LLANBEDR
Harlech 3 miles; Barmouth 8 miles.
The pretty village of Llanbedr quietly nestles in ancient woodland between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline. Situated next to the beautiful River Artro, and boasting a mild climate due to its unusual positioning behind the high dunes of a nature reserve, this charming village has an exciting array of wildlife and birds, handy local shops, bike hire and mountain walks on your doorstep, as well as two excellent pubs. The small town of Harlech is just 3 miles away and boasts the World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle, a majestic 13th century stronghold, the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants and the most magnificent six-mile long sandy beach, perfect for wonderful walks and family fun. Nearby Barmouth offers the amazing Panorama Walk along the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, providing breathtaking vistas, which were described by John Ruskin as “the most sublime view in Europe” and also a harbour from which you can catch a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway, or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.
