• "Certainly one of the most comfortable character cottages we have stayed in."

  A lovely layout in a peaceful and private location. Well equipped and beautifully clean. We felt at home immediately. We enjoyed seeing the farmer come and go having sheep and cattle next door though we were never disturbed by any noise. Conveniently near Blackrock Sands with its super fine sand and shallow shelving beach. Highly recommend a meal at the Caerwylan Hotel restaurant in Criccieth. Owner note - a cloth/sponge in each bathroom to wipe down water after showering would good, especially since water gets on the window sills. My son commented that his bed was uncomfortable in the twin room, door side. Many thanks for being so kind about our mistake with the departure date!

• "Excellent property."

  Far bigger and better than the photos on the website. Beautiful setting, wonderful views and all mod cons. The heating and lamps had been put on when we arrived so along with the fresh flowers we felt warmly greeted. Just a note but the garden is not enclosed for sprightly dogs that can jump low walls. We kept our dog on a lead as there were sheep loose in the garden area every day along with a peacock! This wasn’t a problem and enclosed fencing to the garden would certainly spoil the views and the ambience of the property. We did purchase a baking tray as none in the cottage but otherwise the kitchen was really well equipped . We had a lovely holiday, so peaceful and quiet and would highly recommend. We didn’t want to come home!

• "We had a wonderful stay in an idyllic spot."

  The cottage was lovely and we will return! The rain didn’t even put us off and Sunday was a perfect day. Our only slight negative was there were a few ruts in the long driveway which meant the cars grounded a few times. It was difficult to manoeuvre around them as it is a narrow drive. Thank you for a beautiful break with the family.

  Thank you for your kind comments, we are so glad you had a lovely stay with your family. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this feedback regarding the driveway, we will take this on board and act upon this in due course. We are so glad that enjoyed a beautiful break at the property and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

  This is a very spacious cottage with lovely furnishings. The kitchen is well equipped too which can't be said for many of the places we've stayed. It's in a very secluded location but is only a short drive from Porthmadog and there is access to Black Rock Sands. This is definitely somewhere we'd stay again!

  Thank you for your complimentary comments. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please do come back. Property Owner

• "A lovely cottage with every comfort and amenity."

  Feels like home as soon as you walk in and the layout and decor is really well considered. Great art on the walls as well, which is refreshing to see. The only thing we thought was a little stressful after such a chilled stay was the 9.30 am deadline to leave the cottage - I would question that one needs 7 hours to clean and prep for the next guests when arrival time is 4.30pm. Apart from that we would recommend this to anyone as a great holiday cottage.

  Thank you for your feedback, it is always welcome. I am delighted that you were happy with the house. I take your point about 7 hours for cleaning being a long time. Our housekeepers do an amazing job and will always try to accommodate any requests for early arrival or change of departure time and I would ask that this request is made in advance. Last year the house had more than 40 bookings so inevitably things breakdown and get broken and we try to get any maintenance done during this time, before the next guests arrive. Property Owner

  A stunning setting with views to the sea and mountains all in one vista!. Peaceful and detached but close to Porthmadog for one's essentials and within easy reach of many places of interest in North Wales. A perfect place to stay in this part of a beautiful country.

• "We loved the cottage and setting and felt very comfortable."

  We would love to return sometime in the future. We loved the separate boot room to ensure shoes and dog were able to be dealt with before entering the main house. We would normally find local leaflets to be in the house so perhaps this might be a consideration for the future along with local walks from the house.

• "A wonderfully calm and spacious house - really peaceful & relaxing, in a glorious situation."

  The views from every side were magnificent, especially Moel y Gest, which just had to be climbed. We found the beach at Criccieth much better than Black Rock sands where there were lots of jellyfish & nasty brown scum, so went there for our beach days. There were loads of blackberries & sloes to collect in the hedgerows - this year's sloe gin vintage will be a good one. All in all we had a great holiday & didn't want to leave Ty Mawr at the end of the week.

• "The accommodation: it was absolutely first class."

  We would have immediately rebooked for 2 weeks next year, but the price hike from last year's fees makes it unlikely that we will. We really cannot justify spending the increased price; which roughly works out to be roughly £300 per week more. Such a shame as we have been to this particular owners' properties on two previous occasions and would very much like to return.

• "We had expected towels, tea towels and some toilet rolls at property, but there were none."

  Some cushions for sofas would have been good too, but washing covers each week could be too much. However, it should be possible to wash towels for new guests each week and we had only been told to bring those needed for beach. We had arranged with you to bring our own pillows and did so, but these were at the property, so communication broke down somewhere along the line. At property, recycling guidance was years out of date and more materials are taken than listed in welcome guide. Council website has a simle guide at https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Residents/Bins-and-recycling/What-goes-into-the-bin/What-goes-into-the-bin.aspx - also a one-page PDF guide that can be downloaded and printed. It would be good if a food bin was provided, as collected by the council. Overall, property and holiday was very good.

  The house is finished to a high standard and is comfortable and stylish inside. The beds are comfortable. We were lucky enough to have sunny days and spent long evenings in the garden with just the sheep in the field next door for company. There are lots of walks and Blackrock Sands beach is just down the road. We think this wonderful beach is spoilt by people being allowed to their drive cars onto the beach, so we walked an extra 15 minutes over the hill to Criccieth where the beach is quiet and can be enjoyed in its natural setting.

  Beautiful setting and couldn’t fault the house at all. In true old farmhouse style the floors upstairs are uneven in places but the house has been fitted out well. Only downside was there was no parasol for the table and chairs outside which meant limited use of the table during the hottest days of the year so far. Overall fantastic secluded location, amazing views and a great family holiday.

• "We already had high hopes for this property from both the description and the photos, but the reality far exceeded our expectations."

  Set in a secluded spot in stunning countryside, everything from Ty Mawr's location to the sympathetic way the property has been renovated, made this the perfect holiday destination. The understated decor, attention to detail and facilities are first rate. From the moment you turn into the driveway and see this sturdy house nestled on the flanks of picturesque Moel y Guest, you feel at home. With nothing but the sound of swallows, bees, grasshoppers, and the occasional bleating and mooing from the sheep and cows on the neighbouring farm to break the silence, this is the perfect 'get away from it all' spot. We revelled in watching the swallows swoop and dive as we ate outside in the evening sunshine, felt pampered in the morning as our feet were warmed by the underfloor heating, and slept better than we have done in years. Surrounded by great walking country - we strolled over to Criccieth one night and along Black Rock Sands to Porthmadog on another- Ty Mawr is ideally located for days out in Snowdonia. Portmeirion is just a short drive away, and we went on both the Welsh Highland Railway to Caernarfon and the Ffestiniog Railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog from Porthmadog. We had intended to spend a day in Anglesey, but with so much to see and do on our doorstep, we sadly never made it. A week wasn't enough to explore a part of the UK we had never ventured into, or to enjoy staying in such an historic and luxurious holiday property. A good excuse to come back next year!
