  Everything was fully explained. The property was warm, clean, and comfortable. It's in a delightful location with views over the surrounding countryside and with easy access to resorts and the Wales Coast Path. We had an enjoyable stay.

• "I brought two friends to stay in a beautiful place."

  My twelfth visit to the cottages and I am always made so welcome. Russ checked we had settled in and we met the lovely new puppy. Beautiful countryside whether the coast or into the mountains. Loved the steam train from Porthmadog and the village of Portmeirion.

  This was our second visit and cannot recommend it enough. Owners are really friendly and on hand in case of issues (we didn’t have any) and recommendations. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

• "We absolutely love Garden Cottage and return year on year."

  It works so well for us as a family with 2 children and a small dog. Russ and Karen keep it & the grounds immaculate. The kitchen is fantastically well stocked with equipment and the welcome gift of bara brith and the pant du cider is gorgeous! Absolutely would recommend! Russ is always on hand and nothing is too much trouble. We love the boats and all the fantastic beaches and days out that are a stones throw from the cottage. Would also recommend eating at The Goat and the deli in Borth y Gest.

• "I can’t fault this property."

  We were met on arrival by the owner Russ, who explained how to work the TV, central heating etc. He also gave us ideas of dog friendly places to go and pubs to eat at. The cottage was cleaned to a high standard & the grounds are beautifully maintained. There is a private outside area with plenty of seating and a table. The welcome gift of homemade Bara Brith was delicious. There is a small lake on site with some boats if you fancy paddling around. I would highly recommend this cottage.

• "We absolutely loved our stay in the Garden Cottage."

  It’s in a gorgeous setting, great views and is really quiet, and the cottage itself had everything we needed. It was super clean, cozy and comfortable with everything you could ask for. It’s in a great location for Portmeirion, Porthmadog, Betws-y-Coed, and Snowdonia. North Wales is fabulous - the views of the mountains, beaches and coastal areas were so lovely. We could not have asked for more and would highly recommend it. Thank you!

  Great comfortable cottage with everything you could need. Russ and Karen and so friendly and helpful, top hosts! Beautiful gardens to explore, including a beautiful lake to chill out on (boat available) or next to! We had a fantastic time, weather was very kind to us and we were able to visit some great places in North Wales most less than 30-40 min drive from the cottage.

  .....wow wow wow. We had booked very very last minute for a week's break for myself and my 3 children, upon arrival I was greeted by the owner Russ, he was fantastic from the beginning to the end, showed us round the cottage and the stunning grounds, offered my kids to help him feed his geese and sheep if they would like. There is a beautiful lake on the grounds were you can either swim in it or go out on the little boats, or simply sit and relax reading a book. The cottage itself was stunning, very clean and homely, beds were very comfortable, plenty of room to put all your belongings. If you love a bath like I do, you will love the baths, lovely and deep and taps on the side! We most definately will be going back again in the summer it was a fantastic trip.

  Great location for Snowdon and other walks. Met on arrival and given a tour of facilities.

We hope to book this cottage again next year.

• "Absolutely beautiful location, cottage and surrounding gardens."

  Came here in the middle of a heatwave where it was unbearably hot so to have a garden where my dog could come in and out and not be able to escape from was great, needed the airflow through the cottage. Place was clean and tidy when we got there, hosts were amazing and friendly as were the people staying in the neighbouring cottage. Great location even if you have a disabled person like I did, stairs were fine for her considering she finds new stairs hard to go up and down, she took to those easy. Close to Porthmadog which is dog friendly, loved taking my dog there and close to Herlech Beach too for a good run for the dog. 100% recommend, I'd give all the stars and hoping I'll be back one day to continue my exploration of Wales. Thank you guys for giving us a wonderful stay.
