"Since selling our holiday home in PORTUGAL, after over 20 years of use, we have visited several areas of the UK and EUROPE staying in various properties for between 1-4 weeks."
This property is one of the best we have rented for comfort, cleanliness and quality of fittings etc.The information details provided by the owner were excellent and I would certainly return if we holiday in this area again.
Thank you do much for such an appreciative review, it means a lot. Property Owner

"Loved our stay at Maes Meillion!"
The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean (& I'm picky!), lots of thoughtful touches and had everything we needed for our stay. There are fabulous views of the countryside front and back and a private garden to enjoy. Great base for exploring the area. The owner Eirian is great and went above and beyond when we had a problem with our car. Thanks again Eirian

"This is the best holiday home we have stayed in and the owner is so helpful."
This property has everything you need and the decor is beautiful. The garden and its views are breath taking overlooking Snowdonia. We were blessed with lovely weather so made full use of the garden, outdoor seating area and BBQ. Will definitely return! Great location to explore Wales
Thank you for that great review. Property Owner

"As we opened the door Wow!"
This felt like a much loved home not a holiday let. A state of the art kitchen, it all looked brand new. Fully equipped, Eirian has thought of everything. Three lovely comfy sofas in the sitting room and books describing the surrounding area on the coffee table. From every room there are stunning views of the mountains surrounding Maes Meillion. The three bedrooms are lovely, comfortable beds, we slept well, excellent showers too. Outside, comfortable garden furniture and a covered eating area with a BBQ. So peaceful with just the sound of birdsong, the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. We loved the raised flower beds, Eirian is a very talented gardener with an eye for colour. The front borders particularly, an array of beautiful plants set against the backdrop of the mountains behind is stunning. Last but not least, Eirian herself, warm and welcoming and so helpful, there was a loaf of Bara Brith and Welsh butter waiting for us, a lovely touch. Maes Meillion deserves more than five stars, we certainly plan to visit this beautiful immaculate house again.
Thank you for the stunning feedback. Property Owner

"From the moment we stepped through the door we felt at home."
The house was clean and light and airy. Beds very comfortable and one of the best kitchens I have had to cook in ever. The array of birds in the garden were stunning, we saw Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, Kites, Jays and all the common garden birds, plus sheep just over the fence which completed a perfect stay. A great place to relax but also very close to all the stunning places this area has to offer.
Thank you for your feedback Property Owner

I everything has been thought of, washing/drying facilities, boot drying area, plenty of hot water and great showers, comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen.
Thank you Property Owner

"What an incredible holiday home."
Immaculately clean. We felt at home as soon as we'd arrived. This is probably the best holiday home we've stayed in. A fully equipped kitchen which really good quality trays etc. Alot.if holiday homes lack this. Location was beautiful. Looking to rebook when a little warmer so we can use the garden more. Eirian was really lovely and the perfect host. Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

"Excellent property."

"Such a wonderful home away from home."
Loads of thoughtful details, such as dishwasher tablets, washing pods, bin liners all provided. Also a draw full of walking maps and books which we gratefully used. On arrival there was milk in the fridge as well as a lovely Welsh loaf cake and Welsh butter. Couldn’t have had a better stay. Thank you so much.

"Beautiful house,Quiet location, lovely country views, house very well equipped, could not fault this holiday home."
Erian the owner was the perfect host. Could not have been more helpful, would definetly return.

"Our stay at Maes Mellion was truly a wonderful experience."
The cottage is a true home from home with many well thought out amenities and comforts which made it a lovely place to base our selves for a great stay in North Wales. The owner, Eirian, was genuinely friendly and always in hand if we need advice and went out of her way to help us choose the best things to do in a week that was far too short. So that means we must come back and spend some more time in Maes Mellion and we really can’t wait . Incredible cottage, fabulous hospitality and spectacular views from the garden. What more could you want!
-

A cosy place to stay, enjoy and relax, and close to a number of excellent places to see in north Wales. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Maes Meillion.
-
"A beautifully property and very well supplied with everything you need to make your holiday special."
A lovely spot with a very well thought out garden with under cover seating should you need it, topped of with a picturesque view. The owner is right on hand should you need them but very discrete. Top location for touring the whole of North Wales and beyond. Highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful cottage, delightfully decorated with everything needed for a comfortable stay."
Very quiet area with many places to visit nearby. The owner was very helpful and we much appreciated the Bara Brith and Welsh butter left for us to enjoy. Plenty of books, games, toys and info of places to visit. Definitely 5 star accommodation! Highly recommended!

All the facilities are very modern. The views from the back and front garden are stunning mountains with sheep grazing. Eirian the owner is very kind and friendly, we felt very relaxed at the house.

Been coming to Wales for many years and this is the best cottage we have stayed in. Perfect location for walking, cycling and fast jets

"Fantastic house in a beautiful area."
Beautifully maintained and equipped and very comfortable, spacious, quiet, roomy. Totally enjoyed our stay - we come once or twice yearly to the Dolgellau area and have stayed a few times in Brithdir as it is a perfect base for many great walks. This was by far the best property we've stayed in over twenty or more years of visiting from SE England. Many thanks to the kind owner.

"This is our second time staying at the property."
Excellent communication with the owner. Everything is of a high standard.

"Maes Meillion is a stunning house to stay at set within a walker’s paradise."
It is a very clean, well presented and fully equipped (especially the kitchen) thanks to the lovely owner Eirian. The welcome bundle was a great touch too. Plenty of amazing walks from the doorstep or within a fifteen-minute drive. My husband also enjoyed the epic mountain bike trails this part of Wales has to offer and we both cannot wait to come back in 2023!
-
"It’s a beautiful cottage, very well maintained, wouldn’t have asked for anything better than this."
We had a really good time there. It is a perfect base for exploring Snowdonia in general. I will recommend it to everyone.

"Absolutely first class property."
Set in a stunning location with fabulous views front and back. Having done rental in this country and abroad this is one of the best we have stayed in. The house is in a fantastic location even on the not such good days weather wise there was always the wildlife birds woodpecker pheasants etc to watch. A really lovely environment to chill out from a busy working life. The owner has thought of everything for home from home experience. The bedding towels etc top class. There is no negatives about this house. The owner really warm and pleasant and very very helpful. We wish her every success for the future. The welcome goodies a lovely touch. Gill and Ivor James.

"Probably the best holiday home we have ever stayed in."
Exceptional standard of facilities and cleanliness with lots of small extras that we really appreciated. Great patio with lovely mountain views. Easy access and good parking.

"We cannot recommend this property enough, it felt like home from home and Eirian being next door in our opinion made our stay more special."
The views are stunning from the front and rear. We were lucky enough to see foals over the back fence. There is so much to do locally and the house is a great base to explore North Wales.
-
"The cottage was delightful, in a quiet location and with lovely views."
It was in a perfect situation for our purpose of doing the Mary Jones Walk from Llanfihangel to Bala over five days. The well-equipped kitchen was a bonus and the detailed instructions very helpful. "Welcome" food items provided by our friendly and helpful host were much appreciated. Minor irritations such as the sticking bathroom door (noisy in the night!) and duvets that were too thick for our comfort in the mild weather, could easily be corrected. All-in-all a very good property that we would love to rent again.

"***PERFECT*** This is the only word to describe Maes Meillion."
We enjoyed a wonderful week in April at this property - enhanced by lovely sunny weather! The garden backs on to fields which were full of new born lambs bleating and birds singing - it was just so relaxing! The kitchen at Maes Meillion is the best equipped we have ever experienced in a holiday cottage. The whole property has been lovingly presented by Eirian, who is on hand just next door should you need her (very friendly but certainly not intrusive). If you are into walking and cycling - there are plenty of options to cater for all abilities - all within a 20 minute drive. We wish Eirian every success in her new business venture (though we would prefer this place to remain a secret, as it is bound to be fully booked after all the positive reviews being left!)
-
"The property is absolutely gorgeous."
The owner has done a fab job with the property. Very clean and tidy. All essentials are in place, very well looked after, we would love to return in the summer one time as the weather was poor on some days. Noted to owner that Sykes says property has Sky and it now doesn’t. Owner is also lovely and very friendly
-
"We had a fabulous holiday at Maes Meillion."
It's a beautiful bungalow with stunning views from the back garden. Really well equipped and spotless. Big, bright rooms and super comfy beds. Lots to do out and about. As a family with with a 3 and 5 year old we visited Barmouth, Fairbourne, kids loved the miniature railway and both have beautiful beaches. Harlech Castle, stunning, and we did a couple of the local walks. The owner is just next door and is extremely helpful and friendly and we had a few nice treats on arrival, thanks for a wonderful week.

"Maes Meillion is a 5 star plus property with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in mid Wales, Eirian was a wonderful hostess and was on hand for any questions without being intrusive."
On arrival property was spotless and bright and warm as the fire and some lights having been left on ready for us, the beds were very comfortable a struggle to get out of each morning.

"This is a fantastic property and Eirian has done an amazing job making sure every need is met."
We had a lovely week away with our toddler and felt so welcomed. Dolgellau is a great base for exploring southern Snowdonia. We’d like to come back as there was too much to cram into just one week.
-
"We are a group of 5 friends who love walking."
Mae Meilion is perfectly situated to assess some lovely walks around Dolgellau. The cottage is very comfortable and beautifully decorated, inside and out. We were very lucky to have some glorious weather and were able to enjoy the garden and outside seating gratefully. We all enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend.

"Maes Mellion is the perfect cottage."
So spacious. Fantastic host, everything you need is there. Lots of lovely walks central to visit all attractions/landmarks. Recommend the butchers for meat and able to use the BBQ supplied at the cottage. You will not be disappointed when booking this cottage and in this stunning part of Wales.

"Highly recommend this rental home, the photos really don’t do it justice, it’s just beautiful."
The owner has really thought of everything, as soon as you walk through the door it has a wow factor! A lot of love & care has gone into the holiday home, something the owner should be very proud off. Was the perfect first staycation holiday for a family of five. Lots to do locally just a short drive away, two very lovely beaches close & just a lovely area to stay in, peaceful in the evenings & some lovely restaurants to also eat out in near by. The owner is lovely & very welcoming, if I could give this property more than 5 stars I would.
-
"The house was amazing!"
Very clean, comfortable and perfect. Many thanks.
-
"We loved our stay at Maes Meillion!"
The house was superbly equipped, we loved the location, so peaceful and quiet, but well appointed for the places we wanted to visit.

-
"The owner Eirian, has made this house into 5 star accommodation , everything you can think you might need Eirian’s already thought of ."
The garden is beautiful too with a covered part if windy & having only the Walsh hills as your neighbours at the back is stunning and so relaxing ,sitting with a glass of wine in the evening . You feel relaxed the minute you walk through the door & Eirian is on hand if you need anything but not at all intrusive . The house is in a great place for lots of holiday activities , cycling ,the beach ,beautiful small Welsh towns or for the adventurous there’s Adventure zip wire parks . I couldn’t speak more highly of this house , spotless , designed for comfort and relaxation , would of happily spend another week there had we had the time . Thank you , Janice

"Lovely quiet location."
Such great walks nearby, after a long drive there we dont want to be in the car travelling the area. We had good weather so were able to enjoy the garden and barbeque .
-
"Maes Meillion has been decorated and furnished to a high standard with a fantastic view from the well equipped back garden."
Personal greeting touches by the owner, such as cake, milk, butter and a bag of ice, were very thoughtful and much appreciated. It’s a great location for walking, biking at Coed y Brenin, the coast and many of the tourist attractions this area has to offer.
-
"We were the first to rent this outstanding property since its total refurbishment by its new owner."
Everything is to a very high standard, right down to the cutlery, with top quality appliances throughout. Beautiful views from the house front and back with horses in the field behind the relaxing garden. The owner has gone to a lot of trouble producing a booklet containing local walks, places to eat, things to see etc. Definitely a place to go back to.
