"We had a great stay at Bwthyn Canol."
The cottage was wonderful as shown in the photos and was very clean and comfortable. John and Nic (and Ruby) are lovely, friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. We were sad to say goodbye but look forward to visiting again.

It was in a peaceful location and ideally situated for exploring Snowdonia or down to Barmouth. The owners were friendly and helpful with ideas of places to visit and provided a lovely welcome pack of food.

"This was one of the best, if not the best self catering cottages we have stayed in."
A very well appointed charming Jacobean cottage with wonderfully designed interiors and everything one might need for a relaxed holiday - or working holiday. John and Nicole are both fantastic and responsive when we had questions. We also much appreciated the treats on arrival. And of course Seating out in the courtyard with a glass of wine was perfect. A holiday that both me and my husband enjoyed. We will definitely be back.

"We had an absolutely magical stay at Bwthyn Canol."
The house is historically fascinating and quirky - and beautifully renovated. The garden is tranquil and idyllic, with a zip wire for children, tennis court, seating areas and resident 'wild' bunny. It's 10 minutes over the fields to the nearest beach, and the surrounding area is stunning with lots to keep everyone busy. J and N are wonderful, friendly hosts. It was the perfect trip and we hope to come back sometime in the future.

The original features alone make this a must stay place. (It's also spotless and cosy). Between the views, walks, beaches and tennis; everything you'd want to do is on the doorstep. Cottage owners J and N are beyond kind and accommodating. They are experts in the local area and so helpful, they made our stay extra special. We'll certainly be re booking.
