  • "We had the most wonderful stay."

    We arrived to a lovely cosy cottage with the heating and lamps on. The cottage is very comfortable if you want to sit back and relax, well equipped kitchen for cooking and a great bed. The location is great if you enjoy exploring. A big shout out to our hosts John and Nic, they are a wonderful couple who love their little slice of heaven, they were an absolute pleasure to meet. We would not hesitate to recommend the cottage and will definitely return. Ita & Pj

    We arrived at the cottage late into the evening, John and Nicole (and Ruby,the dog) were super helpful in ensuring we could find the property in the dark and were warm and welcoming on arrival and throughout our stay ensuring we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable , they had even left a welcome pack with essentials which was gratefully received after a late journey! The cottage was as splendid inside as it was charming on the outside , it was warm and toasty on arrival ,very clean and decorated to a high standard , the ambient lighting and log burner made it so very snug in the evenings and the warmth of the Aga gave that lovely warm, toasty feeling in the kitchen . Our 9 year old loved exploring ,the tennis court was fantastic and he was delighted to discover the zip wire in the orchard , a short walk to the beach over the fields was ideal and after a day exploring and getting muddy the shower was so refreshing with great water pressure or a hot soak in the deep roll top bath for me was a must ! The beds were huge and so comfortable , there was plenty of space for our belongings and the views of the rabbits hopping around and the sound of the birds tweeting in the morning was delightful ! We did not want to leave this little gem but all good things must come to an end , we will however certainly be returning !

    We had everything we needed. The welcome pack was most appreciated. Clear instructions about recycling and end of stay were provided. The cottage is well situated for getting into Harlech either on foot or by car and for visiting other areas such as Barmouth. It was very quiet and, as the listing said, owls could be heard.

    I loved the kitchen in particular with the Aga although in the middle of summer it would probably be best switched off. It is very near to a beach with a lovely café that sells snacks and drinks, and a very old chapel for those of us who likes such things. Harlech is great with it's little shops and of course the castle. We were blessed with good weather and came home to rain. We hope to go back to Bwthyn Morse some time.

    Daily visits from Robert the Robin and Thumper the Rabbit, really made us feel we were in a rural piece of natural heaven. From the house, we (myself, husband, daughter 18 and son 12), visited most of the Snowdonia National Park; white water rafting, Conwy Castle, Lyn Cau glacial lake and local stunning Harlech beach, never too busy with golden sands and clear waters with mountains as a backdrop. Local waterfalls also v.nearby and worth a visit. Recommendations from John and Nic to go to Sheila's sea view eaterie, was a 'wow' moment for us - a very special evening watching the sun set. In a nutshell, you are ideally placed for either beach or mountain jaunts, in a stunning location and in an immaculate property, that will not disappoint and I am a real fusspot! This experience was the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. We were sad to leave, says it all. Thanks again John and Nic, xx

    Set in 6 acres of lovely gardens/woodland, this is a perfect retreat for those who enjoy the good things in life. Frankly, this isn't really a holiday cottage, but more like staying at a well appointed country hotel. The views are wonderful, it's very quiet (but not cut off), and the cottage is tastefully decorated throughout. We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage, as well as a wonderfully stocked kitchen. You could have held a good size party in the kitchen, and still not have run out of glasses...(and trust me we tried most nights). The Aga was a joy to cook on, and we cooked a wonderful beef Sunday lunch. All of the rooms are of a good size, although we spent a lot of time in the kitchen! Wonderfully comfortable beds, perfect after an evening of eating and drinking (mainly drinking!). We were a little concerned that the owners were on site, as we enjoy our privacy, but do not be put off! John and Nic were fabulous hosts, there to welcome you upon arrival, and nearby should you need them. However, the cottage is very private, and you aren't even aware of anybody else being present on the estate. This is a first class establishment, and is without doubt one of the most perfect cottages that we have ever been lucky enough to stay in. There is absolutely no doubt at all, that when we return to North Wales, Bwthyn Morse will be the first place on out shortlist. A shortlist of one. If you are looking for an incredibly well appointed cottage, with the cosiness off a wood burner, in a tranquil spot, look no further, because you have just found it.

The beach close by was so beautiful we spent many days walking along the beach and one night sat and waited for the sunset which was worth the wait. I always of all the places we have and all the wonders we have seen, Wales has captured our hearts and after our stay at Bwthyn Morse this property has a special place as well. All the best for John and Nicole in their new adventure you are definitely worthy of 5 Stars. Be back soon X Kath and Brian

  • "We were made exceptionally welcome by John and Nicole who clearly have put a lot of thought into making Bethan Morse one of the most peasant, comfortable and cosy places we have ever stayed in."

    A well placed and relaxing location. Would have no hesitation in recommending this and have every intention in returning as our stay went all to quickly.

  • "Three of us have just returned from a fantastic week at Bwthyn Morse."

    John and Nicole were fabulous hosts who felt like friends by the end of the holiday. They went well beyond expectations to make sure that we had a wonderful time. The house itself is beautiful and nestled in an attractive setting of woodland, gardens and fields. A cross country wall leads to a local beach and harbour. Our four year old daughter loved the zip wire in the orchard. The house is elegant and the feel is of being in a boutique hotel although the spacious kitchen is more warm and cosy. The kitchen is very well equipped with pretty much everything you could wish for to make self catering easy. All in all,a magical place with warm, friendly and caring hosts.

In the well stocked kitchen, warmed by the AGA cooking range, you'll find fresh herbs picked from the owners’ garden.

The dining room has views across the lawns and gardens and after dinner, you can curl up in front of the wood burning stove in the stylish, comfortable sitting room.

Just off the split level landing, the bathroom, with its roll top bath and separate big drench shower, comes with fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries.
