• "The property is in the most gorgeous setting and the views are wonderful."

  Sitting out on the patio wrapped up all cosy in those very comfortable chairs will be a fond memory of mine forever now. We were lucky to have experienced the fighter jets fly through the valley while we were sitting out. The property is very comfortable and you can tell that a lot of love and work is being put into it. We loved having the log burner on and getting cosy. The kitchen is equipped well enough. The bathroom is lovely. You could spend ages on that loo looking out at the views! Lol We never had issues with parking on the street but if you bring a lot of stuff with you be mindful that you'll have to carry it all a bit of a way down to the property. Tip: have a little torch with you if it's dark. Now for the not so good... There are some issues but it's an old house and to be expected I think. As we entered the property on first arrival there was an overwhelming smell of damp and there is some damp in the bedroom wardrobe. (I purchased a condensation thing from home bargains and left it in there to help). Unfortunately also on arrival it seemed that the property had not been fully cleaned. The beds were clean and changed but all the surfaces hadn't been done and were dirty & dusty and it hadn't been hoovered. Sykes took so long getting back to me about this and not very nice when they did and I didn't want to spoil my trip so I gave up and bought a broom and cleaning wipes and sorted it all myself. That aside, I really thought the property was wonderful and I would definitely book again.

• "The cottage is in a fantastic location and well set out."

  It was a bit cobwebby and dusty in places but hey you should see my house ! But it was the end of the season and I am really not complaining. A little more signage of the property may be beneficial as it was slightly difficult to find. I really could have done with a broom as our dog tended to bring bits and bobs in on her paws.we cannot express how much we loved the property and did not want to leave (we did think about changing the locks and squatting), however we took the sensible approach and booked another week in September 2025. We were in awe of the surroundings and the jets on the loop, and The Cross Foxes. Can’t wait until next year .

• "We stayed here for a week last year and decided to come back because we enjoyed it."

  There has been two very good improvements since our last stay which is the bathroom it’s now beautiful new shower room ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For that, And the WiFi another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ massive improvement. However the mattress had been changed in the main double bed ⭐️ which I found to be extremely uncomfortable my body ached for most of the morning after getting up ! The place was very clean and tidy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The parasol was very small which we had difficulty shading from the sun on the loungers could be bigger. Would I stay there again ? Only if they have a better more comfortable bed !! After all, almost a third of our time was spent sleeping in the bed

  Hi Keith, thankyou for the feedback, we are really glad you are enjoying our continued improvements. We can only apologise about the Mattress, we too were not overly impressed with the Mattress and I can confirm it has been replaced last weekend, whilst we were there fixing a few bits and enjoying the views. We do hope you come back again. Many thanks Gaz & Mel Property Owner

• "A comfortable cottage in a beautiful spot."

  We did enjoy our stay. Just one real issue for us: the cafetiere which you can see in the photos of the kitchen is no longer there, so the espresso maker is the only way to make coffee and there is no teapot either.

  Hello thanks for your feedback, we can only apologise the cafetiere was missing, we can only assume it has been broken and not reported, it has since been replaced. Thanks Gaz & Mel Property Owner

• "We stayed at the cottage for a week in May and had an amazing time."

  The location is spectacular and the cottage is so cosy with everything you need. We were lucky to have blue skies and sun the first few days and enjoyed afternoons on the deck and dinner in the sun. Then rainier days enjoyed cosy evenings on the sofa. The location was perfect and short drives to some amazing walks with waterfalls. We will definitely be returning.

  Wood burner appreciated. Kitchen well equipped and stocked with basics. The shop is two minutes walk, pub over the road. If it hadn’t rained for our whole week’s stay, the garden/balcony would be ideal. So we were very grateful for Sky tv! Great walks around. Highly recommend! Hope to return.

• "Lovely cottage with beautiful views of the river and valley."

  The cottage is well equipped and very tastefully decorated, with a log burner making it extra cosy. Loved the peace and quiet, perfect get away. Would also recommend the local pub, really friendly locals with a great atmosphere, check opening times.

  The cottage is clean and spacious. The deck with views over the river and valley are fantastic Really large private outdoor space. Great location for out-door activities with some great trails, mountains and pubs within easy proximity. The local shop, leading the way with sustainability - would highly recommend this

• "Stayed at the property a few years ago, and was managed locally it’s been nicely decorated since, shame the shower hasn’t been upgraded though."

  It’s ideally located in peace and tranquility and in a lovely part of the UK. Still awaiting a response with regards to a spillage which caused minor damage, the communication from Sykes has been awful. I have a couple more bookings through Sykes which I’m now rethinking which has put a real negative on the stay.

  Hello, glad you enjoyed your stay and felt you wanted to return. The bathroom is next on the list so will be refitted over the winter. Regarding the spillage, we will be at the cottage ourselves next week and will repaint. Thank you for letting us know. We have informed Sykes that the matter is resolved. Hope you may visit again.

• "The property was exactly what was described in the add."

  The view point from the patio area was so beautiful and peaceful. The only downside to the outside area was there was no shade, desperately needs a large parasol if you’re lucky enough to have the weather that we had ! It could also give shelter from the rain, as it would be just as beautiful in the rain. It was I little awkward walking through peoples gated gardens to get to the property.. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Well worth visiting this property.

  We appreciate your comments and are looking at parasols to be installed each end of the terrace. Glad you enjoyed your stay, Mel & Gaz Property Owner

• "Having just spent an amazing 7 days at Penygeulan, It looks like the owners have been busy over the winter, as some of the photo's are now out of date, there is a new fireplace and Log Burner in the Living room and the upstairs bedroom has had a really nice makeover."

  We will certainly recommend this to our friends and would love to get back in the summer months to be able to relax on the terrace. The outside space and terrace is stunning, with an amazing view of the valley and the sound of the river, also the added bonus of being on the "Mach Loop" we had the pleasure of watching the fast jets through the valley on two of the days, seeing the new F35's in action was breath taking.

  Parking was an issue at times. There were no waste baskets in any of the rooms. When we arrived at 14.50 the cleaners were in and said they would not be ready for another hour. They let us leave our luggage whilst we went food shopping in a nearby town. The setting and location are beautiful

• "We had a lovely, restful holiday at Pen Y Guelan."

  It is in a great location with a gorgeous view. The river is fascinating to watch with a wealth of wildlife visiting.We had to keep the field glasses handy at all times so we didn’t miss anything-very distracting when cooking and eating !The cottage is well- equipped and the weather was good enough for us to sit on the terrace at times. It’s clear that the owners have worked hard to make the most of this special place. The local shop and pub are very convenient and we found Cemmaes a friendly place. It is a beautiful area and we enjoyed some great walks. The Osprey Dyfi Centre is a must !

  We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Penygeulan and look forward to you returning in the future. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful half term break to Penygeulen."

  The cottage is in a beautiful location with the most stunning views from every window in the house of the River Dyfi. The terrace is beautifully done to enjoy the views. If you can tear yourself away from the views, the cottage is in an ideal location to explore Snowdonia. We visited the nearby towns of Dolgellau & Machynlleth, Tal-y-llyn Lake and coastal Aberdyfi. Everything in the house is brand new and very comfortable. The log burner and the starter pack was most welcomed. We enjoyed a fire every evening. However, the central heating meant that the cottage was very warm and cozy in February, without the log burner. Our girls loved the cottage and are begging to go back one day. We may well return. Really impressed. Highly recommend.

  We are thrilled you loved your stay at Penygeulan, and we appreciate your kind words and would love to see you return. Property Owner
