  • "What an amazing home."

    Will definitely be visiting again.

  • "We’ve recently returned from our second stay at this property - we loved our first stay, and our second stay didn’t disappoint."

    As a large extended family group - including different ages, kids and dogs - the spacious and flexible accommodation is perfect for us and we always spend many an evening playing darts and pool. It’s an old cottage so there are lots of original features and it’s furnished in a less modern fashion but this is perfectly in keeping with the house and area - and we love the cozy, homely feel of the place! The rural location is perfect for a quiet relaxed break away from it all with plenty of walks and beautiful scenery nearby, and beaches within half an hours drive. The owners are lovely and super attentive and we would happily go back and stay again!

  • "Property very tired."

    Could do with a good make over. Had a clean everything before use in cupboards as was covered in previous occupants food. Although fridge's appeared to work they they had a strange smell about them. Place definitely left cleaner when we left. Large bedroom off the kitchen was not suitable for anyone over 5ft 5inches due to low door frame. Other large bedroom was difficult to sleep in due to no blind up at sky light window which shone down onto bed early morning. Games room could have had more games to keep children happy. Distance from anywhere that was of interest was generally an hour and a half away. Hot tub lovely. Owners lovely to speak to.

    Thank you for your recent feedback, we were surprised and upset to hear about your experience at our lovely cottage. The property is a period property and does feature a small original door to one of the bedrooms with 12ft ceiling inside. This is to be expected in a property dating back to the 16th Century and is considered a period feature. We work very hard to ensure that the property is clean for all guests arriving. Had you have raised any issues during your stay, we would have immediately returned to ensure any issues were resolved for you. The property is in a lovely rural location, perfect for relaxation and I am sorry you did not realise its location in relation to points of interest. Property Owner

    We enjoyed our stay, plenty of room for all of us. We were a party of 6 adults, 5 teenagers and two dogs. Location is perfect for exploring the area. Short drive to Dolgellau and plenty of walks from the house.

  • "Lovely old house and garden, friendly owners."

    fantastic scenery. However the house would benefit from a deep clean e.g. the fridge freezers had spilled food in them. Great sized decking but needs repair to make it safe and garden furniture both there and up on the lawn to make the most of the outdoor spaces. The stairs up from the kitchen would be safer for young children with a stair gate. The gates provided were too small to fit the gap. Overall we enjoyed our family holiday and these few changes would have made it perfect.

We had everything we needed, yes there are one or two things that could do with upgrading, but that's all part of it. We were warm comfortable, and it is very dog freindly.

    We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to hear that you had a pleasant stay. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the oven hood and will ensure to address it promptly on Saturday during the changeover. We understand that the microwave can be a bit tricky to use, being a combination one, and have taken note of this for future guests and will look to replace it. We do keep spare bulbs in a drawer on one of the tables. We are always available to assist you in any way possible, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you require any help.

  • "Lovely place, full of a lot of character and plenty of room."

    We had a great time making use of the hot-tub and the outside space as the weather was beautiful. As we were a large group, having multiple large communal spaces was great, as we could separate out or all fit into the same room together. It was a very peaceful stay, although also great to watch planes flying down the valley. As well as making use of the lovely house, we also used it as a base to explore the local area, which has lots of lovely walks. The owners were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating!

  • "We really really loved the cottage, it was spacious and full of character."

    When we arrived the owners were lovely and the cottage was clean to a high standard. The hot tub was new and was great. There are some things that would improve guests stays. More comfortable mattresses on the beds and cushions on the chairs and bench around the kitchen table. There was no barbecue to cook outside and the house really lacked garden furniture in both lower and upper gardens. The upper gardens had great views and it would have been nice to have sat up there in the early mornings and evenings.

    Thank you for providing feedback for Ysgubor, we do appreciate it and take all feedback seriously. Thank you for your kind words about the cottage. We are glad you enjoyed it as much as we do. We do have cushions on the kitchen chairs and there is ample seating outside for all parts of the garden, we will look to provide some more seating at the top of the garden as mentioned. Because of recent heat waves, the BBQ is now available on request only, so holiday makers can be made aware of the fire risk. Thank you again for your feedback. Property Owner

    6 adults 4 kids and a cavapoo had a great week in the October half term. The hot tub was an absolute winner the wood burners made it so cosy. The inside space meant that everyone could do their own thing and always find a quiet corner. The owners Mr and Mrs Evans were lovely they were so very welcoming and certainly made you feel at home from the start. Outside the views are spectacular and whether you are an ardent hiker or just going for a walk with the kids there are some great places to explore. The walk into Dinas Mawddwy was lovely on the forest path about 1.5 miles There you have a pub a post office and a beautiful little coffee and gift shop which sells delicious cakes and well worth a visit. Even before the end of the holiday we were planning a return visit next spring.

Enjoying a superb location within the breath-taking Snowdonia National Park, situated on a 500-acre hill working organic farm and surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain scenery, Ysgubor is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples, friends and families to escape to.

The interior boasts a wealth of character and original features, including oak beams, exposed stonework, an inglenook fireplace and slate flagged floors, it is hard not to feel right at home!

The property benefits from several off-road parking spaces, an enclosed rear garden where you can fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco with a mountain backdrop, and an enclosed front garden with furniture and bubbling hot tub, perfect for sinking back among the bubbles with a panoramic view!

On the ground floor, the chef of the group will have all they need to conjure up delicious feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, ready to enjoy at the dining table in front of the woodburning stove as you toast to a memorable getaway.

After dinner, curl up with a good book in the snug for two, enjoy relaxing with loved ones in the large sitting room in front of a much-loved film on the TV, as your pooches snuggle up in front of the crackling woodburning stove, or head through to the games room to enjoy a game of pool.

Completing the ground floor is a lovely double bedroom served by a shower room, ideal for those with limited mobility.

Head upstairs, where you can wash away the day’s adventures in one of two beautiful bathrooms, before discovering four further bedrooms, a king-size four poster with en-suite bathroom, a double, a king-size, and a family room with three singles.

Wander through the village, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal out at Y Llew Coch or the Buckley Arms, and stock up on fresh produce at the Camlan Garden Centre, Farm Shop and Café.

From your new home from home, you can also take advantage of access to the owner’s own private mountains, Graig Wen and Gribyn, both over 2000', where the Red Bull Hardline mountain bike event is held annually, with the rest of Snowdonia beyond, making it a haven for keen walkers, mountain bikers and birdwatchers.

Continue onto Dolgellau, where you can picnic in the picturesque park, sample fresh tapas at Tafarn Y Gader, South Asian delights at Lemon Grass, and hearty pub fare at the Stag Inn, or explore the outskirts of the town where you will find the renowned Mawddach Trail.

From here, you can easily access Barmouth, home to the Panorama Walk, the stunning Barmouth Beach, the welcoming eateries of The Lobster Pot, The Bank Restaurant, and Bistro Bermo, and the Dragon Theatre.

The owner, who lives nearby and occasionally occupies a small annexe to the left of the holiday property, is always ready to help, and at the end of an exciting day, enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery as you relax.
