  Overall it is warm and comfortable and we had everything we needed but it definitely needs some TLC.

• "This was our second visit and we loved it just as much as the first."

  The cottage was spotless on our arrival, it is so easy to settle in and feel relaxed within minutes. There's nothing we'd want to change, except being able to book again. Graig Gwyn cottage has a special place in our hearts and we'll miss staying in such a cosy yet roomy cottage. Not sure anywhere else will be able to live up to here; we're missing it already!

  .the only small thing that needs doing is on the road to Nantmawr just before you turn up quarry Road a sign needs to be erected to show the actual sharp turning in which to turn for the holiday cottages...

  Although adjacent to the owner’s property and other rentals, it felt private enough. Dog friendly and all amenities needed for a restful and relaxing stay. The local area is amazing, walk up the Moelydd and over to Trefonen, walks from the cottage aplenty.

  Pictures do not do it justice. Really comfortable with everything you need. Diggory and family are really welcoming and friendly. Great pub just down the road. But also within easy distance of lots of things to do. We visited Chester and Liverpool. Lots of outdoors things to do in such a stunning area. Including Snowdon (enjoyed the railway to the top) waterfalls, lakes, walks and amazing scenery. Great comfy peaceful place. Hoping to go back soon.

  A beautiful setting, with a great view across the lawn, down the valley to the hills beyond. Lots of good walks from the doorstep, local pubs pretty good and Oswestry has everything you will need, so if you forget anything, it is only 4 miles away. Lots of history in the surrounding countryside, including Offa's Dyke just a few yards down the lane. I totally chilled out in the peace and tranquillity of the place which was helped by the weather! Thanks Digory and Woody, we will be back. Steve & Jude. Cheshire.

  Totally tranquil. The owner has thought of everything. The photos don't do full justice to this property. It is cosy (but spacious) with comfy beds and lounge area, and tastefully decorated throughout. There are wonderful views from the gallery above the double height lounge, and ample dining space. We enjoyed a two night stay and will definitely return. Wonderful.

Everything that you need from a holiday cottage . Very clean , bed linen and towels provided. So peaceful, wonderful views, sat out listening to owls calling . Satnav got us there but we did miss the last turn but found it after a little work . The owner Digory was lovely, he checked everything was fine and if we needed any ideas of where to visit. Perfect.

• "What a wonderful place to stay!"

  The view is as far as the eye can see (weather permitting) and is stunning. This place is so peaceful. All you hear is birdsong, owls screeching or farm animals. There are only a few properties nearby so traffic noise is negligible. Pure peace! The cottage is a great place to relax after a day out exploring. The rangemaster cooker was great fun to use! We slept well every night. The bed was really comfortable. The size/scale of the chimney breast is not captured fully in the pictures, the lounge height is massive. Our shihtzu kept ending up on the mezzanine looking down on us.....it took her a while to work out how to get back down! Talking of dogs there's plenty of places to walk where they're welcome. I'd suggest if your dog is shihtzu or similar size invest in a pet carrier backpack. Ours found footpath grasses too tall and coarse which limited how far we could walk. We only had one for two dogs so will definitely invest in a better one. We fully intend to return and further explore the beautiful waterfall that the property owner recommended in Wales, again absolutely stunning place to visit (make sure to take 50p for the loo though!). The property owner was lovely, really helpful but not intrusive. We really didn't want to leave.

  The double size mattress wasn’t as comfortable, two single beds would be better. Upstairs was lovely, living room was fine. The kitchen wasn’t very clean, the fridge and freezer were dirty and there was an odd smell. I moved the settee and there was a lot of dirt under there (someone’s nails too). Place needs a real deep clean. Could have done with a sweeping brush too. However, the outside space was amazing and our kids and dogs loved it. Amazing walks nearby!

  The cottage welcomes dogs, however the surrounding area is not brilliant for dog walking as most of the public footpaths were through fields with lots of sheep and occasional cows. Meaning you can not let the dogs off lead. However, it is the perfect location if you want a base for rambling and hiking. Lots of places to visit within a short drive. Overall a pleasant stay.

  Well appointed. Nice outdoor area for seating up to 6 and a BBQ if required. Sat nav actually took us straight to the property but you do have to go up a narrow single track road for the last 500 metres so need to be prepared to pull into one of the overtaking areas. The property was exactly as listed and after so long in lockdown, was a pleasure to spend a week there. It’s a great point to drive to the sights around the area and an hours drive will get you to just about everything. Barmouth is about 1 hr 15 mins. Lake Vrynwy, lake Bala, Pistyll waterfalls, Barmouth, Horseshoe pass and the Steel works visitor centre at Oswestry are all well worth a visit. The steel works is free entrance and free to park too. The kids would love it. Diggery, our host, was very approachable and gave us a few ideas on where to go. The property is set on the edge of the Nantmawr quarry so there is loads of room to take dogs out first and last thing for their ablutions. The rooms are large and with a robust baby gate across the kitchen door, this gives an ideal location for them to sleep. We had our Great Dane and Chocolate Labrador with us and never felt like they were under our feet. We would not hesitate to book this again.
