• "We come from germany and spent the first time at Ysgubor Las for just one week."

  We enjoyed the calm and extremely comfortable cottage as well as the magnificent views. Just staying there, visiting Dolgellau and Machynleth, walking around Clegennan Lakes and fishing River Dovey was a great experience. Sorry, that we didn`t had more time! Gunnar and Anna

• "Wonderful location and super property."

  If you are looking for great Welsh scenery and peaceful surroundings this can’t be beaten You feel as though you are miles from anywhere but in fact the great little town of Dolgellau is very close. Great walking from the site plus access to all the great things that Snowdonia can offer but without any of the crowds that can gather elsewhere. Perfect.

  Fabulous views from the balcony which looked different almost hour by hour with the ever changing weather. Lovely tracks and paths to walk directly from the cottage. It was a really relaxing stay and would definitely like to come again. Perfect!

• "Amazing ,on entering the property you see two framed articles on the barn conversion, one an article in the news paper about the family and the history of the barn and how it was converted , the other a certificate awarding it first prize in barn conversion."

  It then opens out into a very large conservatory, furnished to a very relaxing attire. The bedrooms are spottily clean and of a good size, the bathroom has a walk in shower and is also is finished too a very high standard. The upper level with the kitchen and sitting area is a joy, and the original beams set it all off too a tee. Outside we had the fields with the lambs and a truly wonderful view. A fantastic holiday property, that will not disappoint those looking for a that little bit extra. Richard the owner is very friendly and approachable. I hope this will help others who are looking to book a stay at a very high spec property.

  There was plenty of space for all our outdoor kit - boots, coats, bikes, which was ideal. The surrounding farm land makes the cottage such a peaceful place to be. Richard and Laura were so friendly and willing to help with anything. We’d definitely like to stay here again.

  ).Absolutely delightful owners who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and checked we were ok when it snowed. We've already booked our next visit! A real escape from it all but just a couple of moles to the lovely local town. Not too far to visit many local attractions .The cottage itself was so cosy and so thoughtfully converted. There were wonderful walks from the door.

  We loved it so much we went back again 6 weeks later. Quiet and stunning views, the photos don't do it justice. Richard was really helpful and friendly. Close to Dolgellau but very rural so best of both worlds. The property is comfortable, warm and cosy with all the mod cons you need. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

  ). The accommodation is beautiful and the views are absolutely breathtaking. We loved meeting the cats and horses! Richard and Laura are really helpful and friendly. We visited Zipworld, hired bikes locally in Dolgellau, and went on many of the local walks. There are lots of nice pubs and restaurants nearby, we would recommend Mawdacch Pizza and Crossfoxes, both of which were lovely. We would recommend the property 100%, it is faultless.

• "The converted barn was superb, beautifully decorated and in an amazing location."

  The property had every home comfort and luxury that you could wish for, the views from the balcony are unbeatable watching the sun rise and set over the mountains. We loved being surrounded by the sheep, cows, horses and visits from the cats during the week. The owners were really friendly and helpful and we definitely intend to return as the whole holiday was brilliant. The area of Snowdonia is wonderful for walking, cycling, sight seeing and relaxing, what an amazing part of the world. We specifically came to stay in the area for the Mach loop where fast jets practice low level flying but the mountain walks are really great too, loads of castles and tourist attractions in all directions.

  The cottage was simply superb, renovated to a very high standard with everything you could need. The cottage was relaxing, comfortable, spacious (for 2 people) well equipped and spotlessly clean.

  Very comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great location - beautiful setting, isolated, but within easy reach of Dolgellau and the main road. We stayed for a few days in winter, during which Storm Jorge blew through: despite the gale-force winds and heavy rain, we didn’t feel a hint of a draught or cold. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the conservatory is a rock-solid construction, impermeable to wind and rain and full of light even on very stormy days. Would love to come back for a longer stay.

• "We enjoyed our week at Ysgubor Las."

  First impressions were very positive, the location is absolutely beautiful and the cottage has some wonderful panoramic views of the area. We met the owners on arrival and found them very friendly and helpful. The cottage itself is excellent, a bit more spacious than I was expecting and manages to retain some of the building's original character despite feeling modern and well built. The upstairs balcony is a particularly nice touch. The view from there is fabulous and it is a great place to sit and relax on a sunny day. The bedrooms are a good size and the open plan living area upstairs is also bigger than you might expect from the photos, comfortable and well equipped. My only complaint was the mattress in the main bedroom which was very soft, felt quite uncomfortable and I did miss my own bed! Different people like different mattresses however, so this is a minor complaint. Dolgellau and the surrounding area is very beautiful with lots of things to do and this cottage was an ideal base for our holiday. We have now spent many years taking self catering holidays in the UK and this is one of the best cottages we have visited.

  Simply put, it is fantastic! It is warm, comfortable and very well- equipped. The location is incredible with far reaching views from every angle. Richard and Laura are the most wonderful hosts and give of their time freely whilst running a sheep farm and bringing up a young family. We shall find it difficult to find anywhere else to stay like Ysgubor Las. ( Perhaps that's why we have already rebooked!)

  The owners have done a magnificent job in modernizing this old barn. They have managed to keep the old features in tact while fitting it out to the highest specification. The accommodation has everything you need for your stay from a well appointed kitchen to a luxury bathroom. The house is spotlessly clean and maintained to the highest standard. The owners Richard and Laura are the nicest people you could have as hosts. They took time out of there extremely busy farming schedule to ensure everything was just right for us.

This is a superb cottage in a fantastic location and I would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone.
