"We had the most amazing time at this cottage."
When we got there I was surprised at how big it is inside. It’s done up so nice and looks very modern yet has the feel of a Welsh cottage. The front room is cosy and comfortable and we had so many options of things to watch on the television. The kitchen and dining area is gorgeous, I loved looking at the mountains whilst washing up. It has everything you need in there. The hall downstairs and upstairs is decorated so lovely and the carpet is so soft. At the top of the stairs was my favourite bit of the cottage, a window looking out to the lake and mountains, sometimes we could see the sheep out on the fields, it made me so happy looking out there every morning. The bathroom is lovely and has a big shower. There are three bedrooms, the smallest wasn’t actually small, it has a comfortable single bed, dressing table and the best view of the mountains. The middle sized room was lovely with a comfortable double bed, nice furniture and was very cosy. The biggest room has the softest and most comfortable bed I have ever been in, my bed at home feels boring now compared to that amazing King sized bed, I could see fields from my bed which sometimes had horses on. The garden is very relaxing and nice to sit outside. The cottage was so quiet and calm, we all said we would love to have it as our home and would move in straight away. Anyone who is looking for a nice place to stay I would highly recommend this cottage. The owner is lovely and came to check we had everything we needed. We did not want to leave this cottage and we are already looking at dates to come back there

"A lovely spot with a fantastic view at the back where there is seating and tables."
Cottage is clean and well equipped and beds were comfortable. Smart upstairs shower room .Local shop and pub serving food within a short uphill walk. Storage for 2/3 bikes in small outbuilding with access along the back of the other properties. Lots of things to see/do (at a price) and plenty of cycling / walking routes ( free).Friendly hosts.

"Minffordd was absolutely perfect!"
A comfy cosy cottage which had everything we needed for our weeks holiday. When we arrived, everything was spotlessly clean, and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch, and very much welcomed after our long drive. The views from the back garden were beautiful. It was lovely to meet owner Eirlys who stopped by to check everything was okay. We would definitely recommend Minffordd to anyone wanting to explore North Wales and Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Thank you for letting us stay.

Very comfortable and a good base for exploring.

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage."
Great location for exploring North Wales. Garden is a great space, even in winter. With the lake and mountains behind it was so peaceful. Even with the odd chatty sheep. Not too much in the village itself. The shop is handy a short walk up the hill. Would recommend the Bryn Arms, Gellilydan for food. Enjoyed their carvery roast on Sunday a couple of times. Staff super friendly and it's only a 8min drive. Eirlys is a lovely host. We had a couple of small issues on arrival but were quickly resolved. Glad we got to meet you on the last day. Will be making Minffordd our home from home for our North Wales vacations.

"What an amazing find."
This cottage has everything you need and more! All the facilities you need while your away, just like being home from home, couldn’t fault anything! Great views out the back of the property of Trawsfynydd lake and situated just right to explore Snowdonia. Shop & pub nearby too so you won’t be disappointed. We’ll definitely back visiting again soon!

"Such a gorgeous property with stunning views."
Eirlys the host is welcoming and cannot be more helpful. The village is quiet which was perfect for us. Extremely close to many walks including the lake the property looks out on. The beds were very comfortable, all amenities required were provided. The welcome hamper was also very much appreciated. Thankyou again we really enjoyed our stay.

"This was a great cottage to stay in whilst exploring the area."
It is a lovely cosy cottage, with everything you could possibly need. The views of the lake and surrounding landscape from the garden and back of the house are truly amazing. Whilst the village itself is really quiet it is a perfect base to get to all of the places to visit and we were glad of the peace and quiet after a day spent in more crowded areas. The local shop is well stocked and the staff really friendly and the parking in front of the property was perfect. We had a great welcome pack when we arrived which was really appreciated and the cottage owner was really lovely, checking in to make sure everything was to our liking. We had a fantastic holiday and look forward to returning at some point to explore further.

"Lovely, clean cottage with thoughtful, homely touches."
The welcome hamper was the best we’ve ever received and we were particularly impressed with how the kitchen was equipped. The cottage is located very centrally and there are more than enough activities to keep everyone entertained.

"What a lovely and beautifully kept cottage."
Owners great and make sure you have a good time. WiFi great! Beds and linens super comfy. So clean. Furniture and appliances if high quality! Beautiful garden and views. We loved having breakfast in the morning with the lake and mountains as backdrop. The cottage is a great place to come home to. It truly embraced us. Thank you for sharing this piece of Wales with us.

"Perfect cottage with everything you need, parking right outside the front, the view from the garden overlooking the lake is amazing."
In a village well placed for exploring the area. It was nice to meet the owner Eirlys who called to introduce herself & ask if there was anything we needed. Would highly recommend this property.

"Minffordd is a stunning holiday cottage with all you could need and more."
Easy to park, friendly neighbours, beautiful views and so peaceful. The beauty of Llyn Trawsfynydd is just a short walk away with its various wildlife and many walks. Sitting in the garden with wine and a book in the evenings so relaxing. The owners of Minffordd have created a beautiful place to stay for anyone wishing to explore Snowdonia.

The views from the garden is beautiful. It’s a quiet location with no problems parking outside, ideal for exploring North Wales such as Porthmadog, Criccieth, Harlech & Beddgelert. The welcome pack was a extra bonus.

"A very comfortable and beautiful cottage with stunning views at the back."
Couldn't have asked for anything better and there wasn't anything that the owners had not thought off to ensure your stay was as conformable as possible.

"The cottage is cosy, spotlessly clean, lovely decor."
Comfortable beds and all you need in kitchen to self cater. Quiet village and a fantastic base to explore the area, beautiful views from back garden of the lake and hills. The owner is friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome gift too! Would love to return.

"We had a wonderful week at Minfford cottage!"
The cottage was beautiful and cosy and had everything we needed, thank tou to the lovely owners. Wonderful views across to Trawsfynydd Lake even in the rain. You get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and yet striking distance to towns and activities. We enjoyed walking around the lake, a visit to Harlech beach and the Castle, walking in Coed y Brenin forest Park and coffee and shopping in Porthmadog. There is a friendly shop in the village and a fish and chip van comes on a Monday evening. We would definitely recommend Minffordd and Trawsfynydd.
