Ideal for the Dog good spacious garden and secure.

"Lovely cottage in beautiful Snowdonia with everything we needed for a perfect stay."
Our dogs really enjoyed the garden an the beach, which is just a 10 minutes walk away.

"A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location."
The property has everything one would need in a holiday home. It's a clean property, spacious downstairs and sufficient space upstairs. A wet day was made easier with large TV and WiFi, and there was plenty of space outside for the car and a garden to enjoy too. The property makes for a short trip to both Harlech and Barmouth as well as being a short walk from an excellent butchers and a cafe. Owners provided a nice care package of Welsh goods and there were staples in the property so we could function on arrival. Key instructions were nice and simple too. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. We had a fantastic week.

"Had a lovely stay very good base to go explore on foot or by train or car lovely and quiet only sounds are the birds and farm animals close to the butchers which is a little pricey but quality stuff and spa."
The cottage offers everything you need for a comfortable home from home stay and when the sun is shining lovely to sit out and watch the sun go down already booked for next year would definitely recommend.

"We had a great week at 2 Borthwen cottage it was a good size for 2 adults & 2 children + 2 pups who loved to explore the secure garden,it was nice to have off road parking and space for a trailer,everything was nicely set out and in a good location for food,shop,train station and pubs there is lots of lovely walks around(short or long)and 20min walk to beach."
-
"The property was as described, great location for dog walks."
Property could have been cleaner most things could do with a good wipe down and double mattress was very uncomfortable, my partner and I actually alternated nights in the bunk bed with our son to get a good night's sleep. Double mattress definitely needs replacing. Overall we were happy with our stay and enjoyed our time at the property.

"Lovely place so quiet"
-
"We have stayed at Borthwen several times."
The cottage was clean and with a good secure garden for dogs. Pleased to see a small freezer added plus carpet runner on stairs which are steep which needs to be noted for people with any form of mobility problems plus bathroom and bedroom a bit of a squeeze, this is a quaint old Welsh cottage so which is to be expected. There was a lovely welcome basket on a arrival. A spa shop and butchers within a five minute walk . Would recommend.

"Found the cottage clean and tidy but very cold did try and have the heating at a eco setting but couldn't because it was so cold ."
In the summer it would be nice and possible to do . We had a lovely walk to the beach through the woods bit muddy but nice think it could do with something to dry a little bit of washing either a line or a free standing frame .we had to leave early due to family problems but it was nice what time we did spend there would probably stay again when the weather was warmer

"Our second stay at 2 Borthwen."
We absolutely love the cottage and so do our dogs, it's great value, practical, cosy and homely. For us It's in the perfect spot, with woods and fields almost straight out of the door and beaches within easy walking distance, also shops and the garage about 100yards up the road. If you don't drive the cottage is easy to reach from the train station. There are plenty of nice pubs a short distance away, we had a very good Sunday lunch at The Victoria Hotel Llanbedr, which allows dogs inside. Barmouth and Harlech. are lovely towns to visit. The cottage has everything you need, the beds are comfy, the shower works well. The heating is fine, just check the dial behind the door in the front room and turn up if it's cold. The cottage has a large parking area and a nice garden. We were delighted with the welcome pack, which included the best bottle of wine either of us has ever tasted. We returned home relaxed and restored.

"The stairs were very steep and the metal handrail was slippery to the touch, in fact I ended up at Bangor Hospital regarding this as I slipped and fell down 6 treads, the toilet brush was filthy and badly stained, requires replacement, bathroom door sticks, main floor downstairs could do with a sand and reseal, even though the cottage was quirky the pictures did not represent the true outlook, as it was quite cold the open fire was used and proved to be costly, £63 in logs/firewood, and £90 taxi fare from Bangor Hospital, I'm afraid it is somewhere I would not recommend especially for 4 adults as it was quite cramped even for a cottage."
-
"Really loved the cottage."
There was nothing that we could fault with it.Very comfortable and cosy. It was situated in a good area with walks to the sea from the cottage. Should love to come again in 2024 Many thanks. John and Diane Harris

"Had a lovely time at 2 borthwen cottage well equipped and in a great location ..."
Had a lovely time at 2 borthwen cottage well equipped and in a great location it was clean and tidy and so quiet just the place to relax if you want to leave the car and walk all week it the place to go
-
"Lovely relaxing stay."
Cottage well equipped. Welcome basket was a nice touch. Bed was comfortable, slept very well. Will be returning, hopefully there won't be a storm raging outside the next time. Very dog friendly area loads of cafes in Barmouth accept dogs.

"Lovely old cottage very clean everything you need in the cottage owner spot on easy to deal with"

"2 Borthwen is an attractive property in a good location just off the main street."
Arriving on a busy weekend access off the High Street by the butchers is tricky. The first property on the left park 3 cars there leaving a very narrow space to enter. Anything other than a medium sized car would struggle at such times. There was parking either side of the junction as well at different times making visibility poor to pull out onto the main street at busy times The property is semi detached & parking for both is at the frontage of 2 Borthwen so this affects privacy & security for dogs if, as is permitted, the adjoining property had up to 3 cars. Any cars from the adjoining property need to open the gates to use the parking area anyway. The gates can be left open but only if dogs, young children won't be using the outside space. The small garden needs a lot of attention & looks nothing like the photograph. Internally, the external door to the main room can't be opened fully, nor can the one to the bathroom which was very frustrating. The main room is set out in a basic way with almost no decorative touches. Lamps (other than the harsh lighting of the industrial standard lamp) would add ambience. The floor, whilst safe underfoot, looks shabby & needs refurbishment. The garden equipment stored in the open under stairs space adds nothing to the feel of the space. The stairs are steep, slightly uneven & the handrail is inadequate. This should be mentioned in the description. Upstairs is cramped but to be expected due to the age of the property. The kitchen has the basics. Standard of cleaning seemed adequate although the internal section of the external door frames (visible when the doors are open) was very dirty.

"Lovely location with attractive garden and lots of parking space."
Comfortable beds. Spacious lounge. Kitchen well equipt . The make shift work surfaces abit wobbly Excellent shower seeing as the bathroom tiny...shaving a little off the door then it open further making more space. 1 bath 1 hand towel is not really sufficient seeing as there's no washing machine and not even a washing line
-
"It has not changed from the last time we stayed there apart from the worktop freezer being provided, work tops ( old scaffold planks could do with renewing), garden needs TLC, otherwise in an ideal position."
-
"Brilliant and beautiful cottage very peaceful"
-
"Lovely Cottage with a tranquil garden."
Good walks and beach close by.
-
"Very cosy cottage in lovely location, the gates meant we could let the dogs run in the garden."
-
"Beautiful property which was very clean when we arrived and equipped with everything you need."
Despite being February we managed to sit out in the lovely garden and listen to the birds and the sea in the background. Well located away from the busy areas but easily accissible to shops and the beaches.
-
"Absolutely beautiful clean, cosy cottage in an amazing location, beach one side mountains the other."
An altogether wonderful outstanding place. Much appreciation to the owners for sharing their beautiful cottage. Steve, Kristy & Ebony the dog x

"Great cottage in a terrific location"
-
"We had a lovely time at Borthwen Cottage."
It's in an area we know well and with our dogs we had some lovely walks to the beach about a mile away. The cottage met all our requirements and was cosy and comfortable (we brought our own logs as they're not provided). It was clean and had everything we needed. The instructions for the cooker were useful as we normally cook with gas. The central heating was easy to use, it's set on eco so tends to revert back to that after a shortish while, so if still cold just check it and turn up again if needed. We had surprisingly good weather and were even able to sit in the lovely garden without being rained on. The cottage is very private with good parking space, plenty of room for the camper van we travelled in. We will definitely be coming back.
-
"Great little cottage even in November we had a fantastic week."
Great for the dog with walks from the door, peacefully and relaxing, the beach is massive and sandy but beware dogs are not allowed on the beach during the summer season. This cottage is lovely with everything you need, the heating keeps you snug and warm. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances. Upstairs is a little snug, buts it’s a cottage what else would you expect. We will be back.
-
"Great position for the beach."
Very warm and cozy. Clean and tidy. Great WiFi too. Garden was nice and perfect for the dogs. If I was going to be picky I would just say that if it had a washing machine i would have given it 5 star. Would definitely return, reasonably priced as well.
-
"Cottage was spot on maybe garden could do with a bit of tlc but overall right up ..."
Cottage was spot on maybe garden could do with a bit of tlc but overall right up there as being one of our favorites and the true test yes we would love to return
-
"Absolutely brilliant cottage in a fantastic location."
Garden is beautiful. We loved it and would love to return.
-
"We have just spent a lovely week in the cottage."
It’s a great location for getting around snowdonia, 11 mins drive from Harlech. The cottage is very pretty with off street parking that is gated. It has a lovely garden and patio, we ate on the patio every evening that the weather permitted. The cottage was very clean, a great big tv, Wi-Fi that worked the entire week which is important these days. The beds and the bedding all very comfortable as were the sofas. We liked Wales and this cottage and will be booking this cottage again next year. A couple of comments prior to this mentioned it was cold. The weather was not cold enough for us to require heating so I can’t comment on that. There is no washing machine which was a little surprising and also no freezer. Both of these are small inconveniences and as long as one knows in advance are fine. It was a great cottage, great location, nicely and comfortably furnished. Thank you it was a great week.
-
"Wonderful stay in beautiful location and cottage."
-
"The cottage was amazing, exactly what we needed and perfect for dogs!"
It was located outside of the busy tourist areas but only 10 mins away too. Perfect week away, thank you! Only complaint was the glasses/mugs were very dirty- a lot of them had dried food in them, and so we had to wash them a few times before using.
-
"Peace and quiet cannot be faulted as we know the area sadly we were not able to enjoy the evenings as the heating system would not work at night and it was VERY cold, heat was on in the daytime when we were out and in view of our age heat is important the regulator kept asking for a PIN !"
I am 80 so what would I know? little things like no scissors,no place mat's and coasters to prevent marking the lovely tables etc minor things I know but important and it would have been nice if the lawn had been cut
-
"Great little cottage , only thing I would say is a few logs left in the basket for an initial fire would be a nice touch, and maybe some basics in the kitchen like salt pepper oil and sugar or sweetener with the coffee and tea other than that it was perfect , with bottle of wine on arrival, Had some great walks , down to the beach and Dyffryn pub ( which may be worth while mentioning in the welc9me pack rather than the 2 pubs a few miles away) as I onow the area I knew where it was but others may not."
Lovely big garden , which would be perfect on sunny days , After a bit of trial and error got the shower to dish out enoigh power at a suitable temperature , But like I said overall really loved the place and will deffo be back
-
"Comfortable, clean and cosy cottage."
Good enclosed garden and parking area. Good communication with owners.
-
"A genuine stone built cottage with log burner, plenty of private parking and a large enclosed garden - what's not to like?"
The only draw back for me was that we had to drive to a pub for food but we knew that before we went. A special thanks to the owner who accommodated my request to be allowed to charge my car. Overall a great little cottage near a lovely beach.
-
"2 Borthwen Cottages is a delightful little cottage and perfectly placed for exploring the surrounding area."
I would definitely recommend and would not be averse to staying again. We had our Jack Russell with us and so it was wonderful that we had a safe garden for him. We made the mistake of leaving the gates open one evening when we went out and came back to a driveway covered in sheep droppings so we had obviously had visitors whilst we were out. Just be aware of this (any future stayers) as how we avoided treading in it in the dark I'll never know. You will need a car if you are wanting to go out for meals / drinks although you could probably stretch to a half hour walk to Ysgethin. That said, nothing is too far away. The beds and bedding were very comfortable although the double bed did feel like a very small double. There are no wardrobes but there are plenty of hooks on the walls to hang clothes with some hangers provided. The kitchen and bathrooms are very small although the shower is a great size. A couple of times we could have done with the heating turning up but despite following the instructions it would not allow us to go higher than the preset temperature. We had good weather but this would be a problem in colder months. The driveway area could definitely do with a tidy up and the lawn area could do with a couple of hours spent in it. There is no washing machine, there is no room for one in the cottage, but could perhaps have one put in the outside shed maybe? We had friends staying down the road so managed to use theirs a couple of times. Could also do with possibly a few more plates / glasses etc but that's being really picky. Definitely worth a visit and would stay again.

"Lovely comfortable cottage and a very enjoyable holiday."
We missed not having a bbq, this would have added to our enjoyment. Our fault for not double checking if there was one at the property.
-
"Lovely little cottage perfect for family of 4 with a dog , very clean , two comfy sofas in living room i loved kitchen as has everything we needed."
Downstairs toilet is a massive bonus too :) we have been very lucky with the weather :) Few downsides : No bbq but we got it from tesco which is 40min away . Nearby spar shop was very poor :( we have been using cooperative in barmouth. No restaurants or takeaways nearby :( But still u can get to barmouth which is 10-15min drive . Beach was lovely but if u have kids and dog i do recomend of getting there by car as carpark is just next to it and walk is around 20-25min no footpath u walking on the road .
-
"Lovely small cottage."
I accept with limited space you can’t have a freezer or wash machine maybe use the outhouse for those items. The big sticking point was the state of the living room floor. It needs either sanding and resealing or replacing as looks awful. Loved the location and very nice garden for the dog. Thanks for the wine and gifts that is welcoming
-
"This was the second stay at the cottage."
It was very clean comfortable the garden is a bonus with a dog. Will be back again.
-
"The cottage although very pretty outwardly, it was very tired looking and had very little in dishes, only 4 of this and that."
Hardly any large dishes to put salads in etc., No kitchen scissors. Table tops were of a plain wood rustic design but not really hygienic to work on. The photos portrayed a neat garden. It was overgrown, only the grass was cut. Buckets,mops were left outside in an untidy manner. The bed in the main bedroom was very small, possibly only a three quarter bed, not big enough for us my husband slept on the lower part of the bunk in the other room. We are only average weight and height. The bathroom was very tiny.
-
"Our 3rd visit to No2 Borthwen, same as before ideal situation, close to shop, nowhere near a pub( 1."
5 miles), easy walk to beach 15mins ( need wellies if raining). Is it the owners or is it Sykes but prices have soared up in price for next year on every property in Sykes listings. Who's getting greedy ? Would consider visiting No2 Borthwen again.
-
"Really lovely cottage, smooth booking and picking up keys."
We would definitely stay again, cottage in a beautiful area really close to the dog friendly beach.
-
"Our second visit to 2 Borthwen, already booked for next May, ideal dog lovers enclosed garden , beach a 15 minute walk."
-
"Location of the cottage was great !"
The sea and shop was close by . I expected the garden to be larger from what I saw in the pictures It was still nice though . Limited to how much heating you can use The stat is on a timer when it rains it can get a little chilly. The cottage Was lovely a little empty due to covid 19 so understandable. The owner left a nice welcome basket! Thanks
-
"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful place."
A great base to visit surrounding beaches and countryside; on foot, by bike or in the car. We stayed for a week, and went walking on the local beach everyday. The Garden is enclosed, very dog friendly. There is a local Spar with a butchers that has everything you might need. We all had a lovely time and a great break from lockdown!
-
"The cottage was lovely and cosy, and well equipped for our holiday."
The rooms are a good size and warm, and the bathroom is very nice too. The log burner just adds that extra touch, especially as we spent Christmas there. The garden is large and secure- the dogs loved it! The local area is good with the local shop supplying your needs and the butchers absolutely outstanding. The countryside is beautiful, plus the WONDERFUL beaches all within walking distance. Overall highly recommended this cottage, the owner made sure our stay was good and even left a Christmas welcome pack.. thank you !
-
"Was a great little cottage had a great week even the weather was good to us just ..."
Was a great little cottage had a great week even the weather was good to us just a bit disappointed not any were to eat out
-
"The cottage was cosy, but a little tired."
The kitchen equipment was a little spars but adequate if you didn't want to cook much. The key safe is very tricky to use ( had to phone owner to get help getting the keys) Overall we enjoyed our our holiday the area is stunning and the garden is lovely. a washing machine would be a useful addition (perhaps in the outside shead). Most importantly the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom shower was good.
-
"A well positioned cottage, near shops( pub a bit further 2milea) access to beach via a woodland walk( 20mins), everything you would expect from a cottage in Wales, some feedback is very negative( not deserved)."
No washing machine but who washes clothes on holiday?A very enjoyable visit, great for dogs with enclosed garden, unfortunately it was wet but what do you expect from Wales in October. Will consider returning.
-
"Picked this cottage originally because we were bringing the dog, but we didn't."
The pictures show a nice garden but it was very untidy, grass not cut, weeds all over the drive, bbq pit not emptied and generally untidy. Same inside, the worst were the doors, absolutely filthy and the windows. We've stayed in a few cottages with sykes and theyve all had good information about the area, hardly anything, worst cottage stayed in, best part was the location
-
"The actual cottage itself is nice - good location, nice sized enclosed garden, nice bathroom,kitchen and woodburning stove."
However, it is clear to see that this property was either lived in by the owners therefore they kitten out in chartiy shop goods or inherited by a relative. The reasons we say this are due to the poor furnishings i.e. in the bedroom there was a random floral eye mask, floral photo frame (with no photo) and some pine cones? There was a light up portable electric mirror which was broken (didn't light up), only 1 lamp in the bedroom (no lamp in spare bedroom), one office style lamp in the lounge. When we arrived under the stairs which was open plan i.e. no door, the hoover was dumped in full view along with the parasol for the garden and garden seat pads? In addition, in the lounge their was a horrible wooden box with stones in (looks like someone had collected from the beach), a trinket box which contained picture hooks and some horrible horse head bookends. There was a lack of heating instructions in the cottage - no cottage book with instructions and when we tried to adjust the heating it was in Dutch? In addition, the cleaning of the cottage was poor, when we arrived we picked up at least 8 piles of dog mess from the garden. We contacted the owners about this but they didn't seem too bothered about it, it put us off. We've stayed in many cottages and this one was nice i.e. the actual cottage, however, there was poor attention to detail by the owners. A washing machine and hairdryer would also be useful.

"We enjoyed our time at the cottage, it was very comfortable with everything we required."
It was great having a secure enclosed area for the dog. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales. Lovely and quiet sandy beaches both in walking distance and a short drive, good for dog walking.
-
"The cottage was delightful, set in a beautiful and quiet location."
We had the best of both worlds; beach and mountains nearby. There is plenty to do whatever the weather. The local butchers was excellent and it was amazing to put out your hand for the train as if you were stopping a bus. As a family (2 adults, one 11 yr old), we had a wonderful time and are hoping to re-book for next year.
-
"Great little cottage everything we needed for a nice comfortable week."
Lovely garden enclosed so dog was safe, beaches are all so clean and dog friendly.. Lovely place to stay thank you.
-
"Very relaxing holiday in a beautiful cottage ."
So nice to actually find an enclosed garden for the dog.
-
"Property details don't make enough of the lovely secluded garden and the tranquility of the whole area."
So very quiet, but close to the railway. the bus and the local Spar shop and quality butchers. One of the best cottages we have ever used.
-
"Cottage and location was perfect for us and our dogs would highly recommend."
-
"Enjoyed every thing about our holidays"
-
"Would like to be able to set the heating to what we required and that the fire was in better condition It might be worth mentioning that in the slower times of the year sum of the items in the area are closed."
The beaches in the area are fantastic and The Last Inn at Barmouth is well worth a visit for both the food and the character.
-
"We had a fabulous Christmas break in this lovely cottage."
Lovely enclosed garden that suited our energetic dog very well indeed; loads of parking space (we had to take a trailer for all the Christmas related stuff so that was very useful!) and the cottage itself is lovely - traditional but very comfy indeed. Quiet area but everything that you need to hand in the village. Close enough to the beach for easy daily trips with the girls and the dog. Fab!
-
"Location of cottage is excellent."
Easy to get to & you don't need to travel far to get anything you need. It has good public transport links - bus and train - which are easy to use & it is quite a novelty to have to flag down a train! Cottage is cosy, warm & beautifully clean with the added bonus that everything works. The garden is enclosed & our dogs were happy to wander safely. Easy walks from the cottage to the beach through woodland/along a lane - takes about 20 minutes. Beach is very long and has sand dunes so brilliant for walking. Winter time is obviously quieter with less choice of places to visit/eat at (particularly when you have 2 hounds) but we found the pub at Talybont (20min walk) very welcoming & serving good food.
-
"The cottage was great, nice and quite, really good for the dogs."
The only thing i would suggest to the owners is to have some logs for the fire and a light for the garden. There was a issue getting in but once in felt relaxed and enjoyed our stay, will go back to explore more as rain prevented our exploring fully. The butcher at the end of the road is fantastic, there is no laundry facilities but there is a laundrette in the next town (5 mins in the car). Overall a nice wee place. Limited cell signal and wifi slow so if you want to "un plug" defo go there
-
"Great cottage."
Perfect for us to have an Autumn break.
-
"This is a pretty cottage in a great position benefiting from being very close to the lovely clean beach (5 mins drive or 20 min walk) and also within the Snowdonia National Park."
It makes a great base for exploring North Wales. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and would also give peace of mind if you had young children. It was also really handy having the butler sink with outside tap for washing the dog after a day out. We really enjoyed the log burner in the living room on a couple of chilly nights too. There is a Spar with a fantastic butchers a few minutes walk away which we used regularly. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable holiday here and would stay again.
-
"This a lovely comfortable cottage, it is a very quiet area with lots of lovely walks close by."
It is the perfect place to recharge your batteries. The only downside is to be aware of is the railwaysleeper bench on the grass part of the garden, it's leeches tar when it's hot. Would definately recommend this cottage and will book again. The welcome basket is a lovely. The garden was perfect for our dog, he loved the space.
-
"The cottage was located in a quiet relaxing peaceful area plus The local people where very friendly."
It was clean comfortable and had all what we needed for our weeks stay. It had a very big garden which was very secure for our dog William. The stairs took a bit of getting used too as the steps were narrow and a bit steep which was not in description of cottage so people with a mobility disability it could be a bit tricky. There was a bonus of a down stairs toilet so less trips up stairs. We would highly recommend this cottage if you want a quiet get away.
-
"The little cottage is a beautiful place with much attention to detail."
The moment you step in you are overwhelmed with the cozy atmosphere. At least to us it was that way. A nice 30 minute walk takes you to the beach with marvellously wide sands. Many great walks are within half an hour of driving. There's a small but well equipped supermarket some minutes by foot and still the place is quiet. And it's perfect for dog keepers. The large garden is sorrounded by little walls and gated so that the dogs can play there and won't get out. We really enjoyed our stay there.
-
"Lovely country cottage in a quiet secluded area, though not far from the main road."
Plenty of parking space and outside sitting options including a lawned garden. Steep stairs which could be difficult if you have a mobility problem, though there is a ground floor toilet as well. All the facilities you would expect are fitted into the small cottage, be prepared for no dishwasher, washing machine or hairdryer, but if your staying for a week, that isn't really a problem. There were 2 of us and a dog, I expect it would be a little cosier with 4 people. Wifi worked well. Easy driving South to Barmouth and North to Llanbedr, Harlech, and on to Port Marion & Porthmadog. Its longer than a quick walk, but a short drive to the beautiful beaches is recommended. Thanks to Bho and Jayne for making us most welcome, I would recommend a stay at 2 Borthwen cottages
-
"Perfect!"
-
"Very nice cottage."
Not as close to the beach as expected. Constructive criticisms are as follows... no heating instructions. No logs for fire or utensils for the fire, no big deal but it was march and cold. I bought logs etc but would of liked to have cleaned the fire after myself. I absolutely loved the tranquillity and it's perfectly decorated and comfortable. I had a perfect weekend thank you
-
"We've had a most enjoyable holiday at the cottage , even two days of snow didn't spoil it !"
The cottage is set in a very quiet little lane and gives the feeling of being way out in the countryside and yet just two minutes walk away is a well stocked shop and butchers and a petrol station The cottage is really quaint and cosy and has a huge secure garden which was perfect for our two dogs . The welcome basket was a lovely touch with a bottle of wine and bara brith and hot chocolate and coffee sachets I would definitely recommend this cottage it's perfect in every way
-
"This was an absolutely stunning cottage set in a beautiful, quiet village."
The cottage itself was modern whilst keeping it's cottage type charm with wooden beams and log burner. It had a big garden and drive way. We loved every minute of our Christmas stay and would definitely recommend it. The only criticism (for want of a better word as it certainly isn't a complaint) is that the logs were wet and therefore wouldn't light in the log burner. It was a little disappointing as we always make sure there is a log burner when we book a place to stay but not the end of the world as we went a bought some instead. Thank you for our best Christmas ever.
