• "This is by far the best rental cottage have ever stayed in."

  We wanted for nothing at all. It's was so clean warm and cosy. The hosts were on hand if we did need anything (which we didn't). We went to watch the planes in the mach loop and we were not disappointed. They fly right in front of the cottage it was an amazing sight. . They were very friendly and welcoming we would not hesitate to return to this property

• "A beautiful home from home with outstanding views."

  The property had everything we needed and more and with the lovely owners living next door they were on hand if we needed anything. It was cosy and comfortable and offered a great viewpoint to see the red kites and the low flying jets. Other reviews mentioned the steep drive but it really wasn't that bad and we don't have a 4x4 vehicle. We did a couple of lovely walks close to the property and also visited the nearby coast for a walk along the beach. We didn't get to visit the nearby Brigands Inn as although it's not far we didn't feel that it was safe road to walk down without anywhere to get away from the traffic. Ysgubor Craig Y Gronfa offers a lovely peaceful base for exploring the area and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

  Thank you very much for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and your time exploring the area, Kind Regards, Mari Property Owner

  Friendly helpful owner. Super comfy bed and so well equipped. The milk, biscuits, crisps and even toiletries were a lovely added touch.

  Thank you so much for coming to stay, so glad you enjoyed our cottage, views and treats! All the best, Mari Property Owner

• "Had a lovely week at the cottage, its been tastefully decorated and, was very clean and comfortable."

  Directions were easy to follow and, it should be noted that the track leading to the property is steep and uneven, if you have a low car. The views are amazing and, we got to see a few jets on the mach loop which, was a bonus. Mari, the owner was welcoming and, left us gifts on arrival which, was appreciated. The only negative was that there is no window in the main bedroom which, in warm weather was stuffy. We did mention this to Mari and, she took it on board. There is an emergency door but, wouldn't leave it open all night to let air in!

  Hi Lisa, thank you again for coming to stay at our cottage, glad you enjoyed your week. Thanks for your feedback, I've started sorting the window for the bedroom and I've also asked the agency to make the note about the drive clearer! Diolch, Mari Property Owner

• "If I could give this 6 stars or 11/10 I would, excellent value for money, its one fantastic place to stay, very clean and comfortable and has all mod cons, great location if you like to view the Jets passing by , which they do via the Mach Loop :-)."

  All facility's are there inc BBQ and Hot Tub if you want to indulge. Milk, tea, coffee and sugar along with some treats left for you to enjoy on your arrival. Mari is lovely, friendly and very willing to help in any way. I cant really give any negative views as for me there is not any, however if your a hardcore TV fan and like your soaps etc it may be a problem for you as there is no live Sky or Freeview, only 4 streaming channels like BBC i player, ITV X etc but if you can live without this for your stay then you wont be disappointed, for us it did not matter as we go any not to watch TV but to escape ! There are some big trees that block some of the views of the valley at present ( July 2024 ) but these are in process of being removed to give a full panoramic view. 100% we will be going back again, maybe again this year but if not defiantly next year. I congratulate Mari on a very well presented Cottage, top marks :-) Thank you for a great stay.

  Thanks Terry for your great review! As you know, the trees have now gone, and we now have a full view of the beautiful valley and mountains! We have also updated the tv with another device that enables guests to watch the main tv channels live. Looking forward to welcoming both of you back, Kind Regards, Mari Property Owner

  From the kitchen facilities to the super warm woodburner and huge bed, everything was spot-on!! Lovely hosts and a great location for driving to walks in either direction. Heartily recommended. Definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Thank you, Mari x

• "The cottage was very comfortable with very friendly hosts."

  The cottage is well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. The location was great for exploring a very pretty part of Wales, although everything did require at least a short drive to visit. There is a nice view over the valley from the property although the cottage and site doesn't make the most of it; there's not a clear view from inside the property. Also, as is expected from rural sites the internet connection was a little patchy at times. However, our stay was overwhelming positive, a warm, cosy, and very comfortable cottage with friendly and accomodating hosts. We'd be happy to stay here again.

  Thanks again Andrew, glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The trees in front of the cottage are due to come down very soon, the view will be even better afterwards! We have also updated our internet connection and working better and faster! If you plan on coming back in the future we now have a hot tub too! All the best, Mari Property Owner

• "Late December For us, it was far too cold the first day to sleep upstairs so we hard to use the sofas and keep the log wood fire going for as along as we can."

  The following day, the owners organised an electrical radiator for us. Problem solved we thought. As it transpired, the main bedroom bed is far to short to sleep on for my 6ft husband, so he still ended up using the downstairs sofa or one of the twin beds which were larger. Either way, for a get away together this wasn’t ideal. We also did not realise from the pictures of description, that the view with gravel in front was a driveway for the cottage owners next door. So, we didn’t feel secluded as we hoped we would with some of the goings on for next door as well as just them entering and leaving their property. Maybe it would have been fine we’re not for the large floor to ceiling windows and doors. So, instead of enjoying the view we often had the curtains closed. The shower over the bath is somewhat tricky in such a small space, you almost have to stand on the curve side of the bath to directly under it. The internet kept going off, which wasn’t great when no dvd players with films had been provided. We’ve stayed in many beautiful places, and Won’t be returning. As nice as the owners are, we would have liked to have seen them much less (or to be politely reminded the night before to leave on time as turnover for them is the same day). Given the house didn’t get warm enough until day 2, quite frankly the owners should have the foresight to refund us for that first night, never mind a partial repayment for the rest of the holiday given that me and my partner could not share a room together that we wanted. Not much of a secluded getaway.

  We were sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay in our converted barn. As stated in the description, the barn is located on a 'working farm'. Of the two bedrooms, one has a standard double and the other was set up as a Super King, previous guests have been very complimentary about the beds. Admittedly, the cottage was slightly cold on the first night and we apologise profusely for this and attempted to rectify the situation by providing an electric heater and additional firewood. Due to stormy weather, the internet was a bit temperamental which affected the Smart TV therefore it may be beneficial to provide a DVD player and selection of DVDs as an alternative if required. Once again, we are extremely sorry and saddened to hear that your holiday with us did not reach your expectations as we make every effort to be as accommodating as possible to our guests whilst respecting their privacy. I'm pleased to say that our other reviews have been excellent. Property Owner

• "A brilliant place to stay that had all the equipment you could want."

  Comfy beds, great kitchen, a wood burning stove to curl up by in the evening. In easy reach of lots of great walking in hills and by the sea - our 4 year old climbed a lot of hills and ploughed through a lot of puddles! The track up was a little daunting at first but very manageable. The owner was very friendly and helpful and gave us good tips on things to do. I would definitely stay here again.

• "What a beautiful place to stay, the owners were amazing and kept the cottage fully equipped and a nice welcome pack included."

  Scenery from window is so picturesque. It is on the Mach Loop which is what we came on holiday for. Cottage felt very homely and we very much enjoyed our stay here. 10 out 10 for this property and would highly recommend it .

• "This recently refurbished barn conversion has everything you could want and more, from the dramatic but practical slate floor downstairs to the plush through carpeting upstairs, complimented by new furniture and all other household goods."

  The owners were helpful and friendly but the barn still felt like 'our space'. The views were amazing.

• "Ysgubor Craig Y Gronfa is a real gem in the Welsh mountains, perched on the side of a mountain with views to die for, one of the best kept and equipped cottages we have stayed in."

  The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and helped with suggestions for the area if we asked for them. The location was perfect for us, a family of 4 (one teenager and one almost!), we were able to explore so many beautiful places whilst coming back to a beautiful place. Barmouth beach is 30 mins drive away (beach meets mountains), lakes Bala and Vyrnwy are 40 mins drive (Windsurfing and Canoing), Aberdyfi 40 mins drive, (for a spot of Paddle boarding). The Red Lion pub in Dinas Mawddwy (5 mins drive) is a great locals pub and perfect for practicing your Welsh! Or over the pass towards Dollgellau for the Cross Foxes pub (10 mins drive) and dinner on the decking. When we go back for another holiday in Wales we are staying here, we liked it..... a lot.
