"Lovely location."
Beautifully maintained cottage centrally placed for trips to Porthmadog, Criccieth, Harlech and Barmouth. Lovely owner who couldn't have been more welcoming. The Ship Aground is a lovely pub with friendly people. Great place for a brilliant week away in beautiful Wales.

"This is our third stay here, but after a gap of six years."
It is still the same, welcoming, clean and ideally situated for a relaxing holiday. Nothing is too much trouble for Menna the owner, fresh cream scones left ready for our arrival and a phone call to check everything is ok. Dog friendly and plenty of walks available down to the estuary with views across to Portmeirion. Highly recommended.

"This property is very homely, nice comfy beds and plenty of equipment."
Everything you need is on hand. We couldn't get the TV to work so we contacted Mrs Evans and she was really helpful so we were able to watch the Rugby.
The only down side if you have mobility issues would be it is on a very steep hill but of course this has a silver lining the view is great.
Thanks for the lovely cake Meena and it was a pleasure meeting you.

"Beautiful cottage in an idyllic spot."
Stunning views including that of Portmeirion across the estuary. Plenty to do within easy reach, such as previously mentioned Portmeirion, Ffestiniog steam trains, Mt Snowdon (recommend early booking for funicular), Greenwood adventures, Harlech beach, slate caverns and lovely walks taking in forests, lakes, mountains, sand dunes and waterfalls. Cosy cottage with fresh, airy bedrooms and comfy sitting room. Warm heater if needed (central heating if v cold)! Dining room too. Parking for a few cars. Well-kept outdoor space behind cottage, for outdoor dining, children to play in and adults to sit and take in the sunset on a balmy evening. Would definitely visit again! ❤️

"Lovely private bungalow, today and clean, however double bed was not great very wobbly and creaky, could definitely do with investing in new bed."
Lovely village, with great views, however bungalow looks out onto busy rd, so noise can vary, personally it didn't bother us to much, not as much as the uncomfortable bed.
Also dishwasher wasn't working whilst we were there, not a massive problem for us, but would have been nice to know beforehand.
Overall a plesant stay, I would book again if new bed was purchased, maybe invest in a king size bed for extra comfort.
Love the fact that this house has a small chest freezer as well as small table top freezer in dining room. Comfortable lounge area, and we'll thought out kitchen, shower is also lovely.

"As a retired couple we picked this cottage for peace and quiet, the view and hopefully a lovely garden to relax in, eat and drink."
To read a book, to rest, listen to the birds and wildlife. Sadly, nothing in the listings/pictures mentioned that the cottage was right by the busy main road leading to and from the main towns. We could not sit out in the vast beautiful garden and admire the view, because of the noise. My partner 70, does not enjoy driving, but we felt forced out to find peace and quiet. Only to find many of the town's restaurants and cafes closed or not serving food. Very disappointed and although the hospitality from the owner was a lovely welcome it didn't make up for our hardship. Our dog loved it. If he could holiday alone, he would be back next year. Both feeling a little depressed actually. J & E. Lancashire

"I had a great week at Tirionfa."
The cottage was well equipped, clean and comfortable and as described on the website. The Welsh cakes, butter, fresh milk in the fridge and tea and coffee available on arrival was very welcoming. The owner returned my call quickly on arrival. I met her son later in the week who was great to chat to about farming. As well as a visitor book, the cottage provides really helpful details of amenities, suggestions and directions of places to visit. The village pub is friendly and welcoming. There is a Spa, chip shop, and other outlets in the next village. The area is friendly and I felt "at home" - a big thank you to everyone I met for being so welcoming. There were plenty of activities such as the steam train in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle and the beach which are dog and family friendly. I can certainly recommend Tirionfa as a super base for a memorable holiday.

"A massive issue for us was the the departure time of 9am on the final day."
Until we arrived, it was always stated as 10am (and continued to be on the Sykes website during our stay). With our family dynamic, there was no way we could be ready to depart by 9am so we needed to leave the afternoon before. This meant we lost a chunk of our holiday which was very unfortunate. If we had known about the 9am departure time, we'd have never booked the cottage.
Aside from that, it's a nice cottage in a lovely part of Wales. The only other negative was the double bed which seemed fragile and many of the slats moved freely underneath. It was hard to get a good night's sleep!

"Beautiful cottage, the best yet that I have stayed in."
As far as I and my family are concerned it was perfect for our needs. A lovely greeting by the owner who also had prepared Welsh Cakes and had the kettle ready for a cup of tea after our journey. The cottage was in a lovely setting looking across the estuary to Portmerion. However, the weather was awful which we had not expected, very misty and heavy rain which was disappointing. The Ship Aground in the village served very well prepared meals after 6 pm but not open during the day for lunch. We found it difficult to find somewhere for meal, it was mainly snack type meals. Kerfoots in Porthmadog was about the best for lunchtime eating. Unfortunately because of circumstances beyond our control, we had to come home on the Thursday which was a huge disappointment as we had been very comfortable in this beautiful bungalow.
