• "A fantastic property in a stunning location."

  This was my 3rd stay there and it delivers every time. The property is comfortable, warm and has everything you need. The owners are really helpful and kind. They gave me loads of advice before my visit in terms of things I could do with my sister. I love the animals there as well. I hope to return to this property next year. Imy sister and I had a wonderful time.

• "Had a lovely stay here, owners were really friendly and helpful, they live next door but were not intrusive, was nice chatting to them about the area etc."

  LOVED Bella the pony in the paddock next to the cottage and tramp the cob horse in one next to that. Great cottage, everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is now a new comfy fabric corner sofa in the conservatory and the brown sofa seen in current photos of the conservatory is now in the lounge area replacing the bar stools by breakfast bar. we loved our stay, the only comment/recommendation I would make is maybe get some new pillows as the ones had a slight greasy hair smell, but I just bought myself some to use as I needed new ones at homes anyway. The tv worked perfectly fine for us after I realised the first day that the cable had worked lose at the back of the tv once I moved the bracket arm. Wifi and phone signal were good, in fact better than we have at home. Nice to hear the Steam trains going past and the sound of the river was relaxing. Would return again in the future without a doubt if we come back to the area. great location to visit all the places in North wales we wanted to visit. Was nice and rural without being remote. great secure garden for our dog.

• "Lovely accommodation in a rural setting but a great base for exploring the surrounding areas and Anglesey."

  The accommodation was well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. I loved the big comfy corner sofa in the conservatory, which was lovely to relax after a long day exploring.(it’s a new sofa that isn’t in the photos) The enclosed garden was great for our dogs. The bed was huge and comfy for a good nights sleep (but needs more pillows). The heating was good for chilly mornings, even though we went the first week in September. We didn’t need to use the log Burner but the storage heaters were great. The only downside was the tv, it only had apps, not freeview. Overall a lovely place to stay and friendly host, who was there if you needed help with anything but not intrusive.

  The tv is a smart tv which has both apps and a full suite of freeview channels Property Owner

• "We have been coming here for many years now and find the cottage has everything we require for a home from home stay."

  Paul is on hand if required and the whole stay is relaxing and very comfortable and easy, especially with dogs and enclosed garden. The peace and quiet and location are ideal for venturing north south east or west . The facilities ensure everything you require is available - electric arga , dishwasher , washing machine , shower or bath, wood burner, private garden all included.

  The enclosed garden was very welcome for our 2 dogs and they especially loved meeting the horses in the field next door! The owners were very friendly and welcoming and it was in a good location to explore the local area.

• "We had a wonderful 7 night stay with our dog at Y Buarth."

  The property is comfortable and peaceful. The hosts Karen and Paul checked we had everything we needed on arrival and then left us to settle in. The scenery is lovely and the horse and pony in the next field a bonus. We enjoyed feeding them carrots and apples. The property is conveniently related to nearby attractions. We hope and plan to return to Y Buarth. Lynda, Bill and Bridget

• "I have known the existence of this holiday cottage for years and wanted to stay largely due to many positive reviews."

  Initial reactions on being shown in by the owner were good. Spacious and warm and clean. I think what stuck in my mind was seeing pictures of an Aga and reading comments from previous holiday makers about the lovely warmth it gave. It's been replaced by a very lovely electric range which is only warm whilst in use. The night storage heaters are not adequate for such an old stone dwelling and several were not working at all. A little kindling and wood is provided but would only be sufficient for up to two short evenings. After that you have to buy your own logs which we were reluctant to do for several reasons. Basic warmth and continual ongoing warmth should be included at the owners expense. The en suite bedroom smells of damp (from the shower) and there's a lot of damp in the conservatory. We weren't really able to use the conservatory due to the very wet and windy weather which was a shame as the sofa in there is more comfortable than the one in the living room. Overall it wasn't a bad holiday and the place is ok overall. We have stayed in far better and worse. In the summer months it might be very different. With the patio doors in the big bedroom flung open and the conservatory ones it would be lovely in sunny weather.

• "Lovely place to stay for exploring North Wales, especially Anglesey."

  We wanted somewhere quiet enough for our dogs over New Year’s and this was ideal and just as described, we didn’t hear any fireworks at all. Spacious property with lovely kitchen space and log burner. New sofa in conservatory (very comfy) and in living area - not shown in listing photos. Warm and comfortable rooms. Ideal space for dogs to roam in the back. A couple of minor hygiene issues but nothing that impacted our stay. Thank you for having us!

• "Y Buarth is a lovely, cosy, well maintained cottage in beautiful surroundings and excellently placed for towns, nature reserves and walks."

  The pictures simply do not do it justice, it by far exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed and more, and the owners and their family are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We loved that you can go through a gate in the garden, into a field which leads down to the river. It is truly beautiful and peaceful down there. In the field are two friendly rescue horses who love carrots and the owners also have rescue dogs and cats who are gorgeous. We had the best week ever and will definitely be returning. We cannot recommend Y Buarth enough.

  But did not heat bedrooms up because heaters in bedrooms did not work mother had to go to bed with coat on because of cold and she has arthritis.seating in living area not very comfortable to low and hard cushions to sit on.paul owner text to say speak to daughter if have problems because he was not there but she avoided us did not want to speak. a man turned up with his case saying he had rented the cottage and we had to explane to him that we were not due to leave untill following day. Also mould was present in the shower room The only conversation we had was with the man who turned up with his suitcase I think we will stick to staying in caravans and leave cottages alone.

• "Great place for a quiet break."

  Very friendly & helpful host who lives next to the property, but never intruded on our holiday. The conservatory is a welcome addition to the property. The location of the property is at the end of a private lane, thus very quiet and off the beaten track. Facilities are good although the bedroom got quite chilly and could do with some form of heating. All in all highly recommended.

• "It was a beautiful cottage in the lanes of Waunfawr."

  We were not disturbed by the owners who lived next door but if we needed anything they were very helpful and polite. The location was just outside of the village and it was very quiet and peaceful. The garden was dog friendly and backed on to a field with 2 horses in it. The horses were not disturbed by the dog. As my husband is older the seats in the lounge were too low for him to get in and out of so we spent most of our time in the conservatory. One of the blinds were broken and I advised the owner who already knew and said he was going to mend. The last 2 comments did not detract from a lovely & comfortable cottage.

  The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage for our clothes etc. There was an ensuite shower and loo plus a family bathroom with a hand held shower over the tub. And plenty of hot water. The views were lovely as were the two ponies, dogs and cats. There was a terrace which we used daily just to chill and enjoy the views. Our hosts were very friendly and chatty without being intrusive. All in all a perfect holiday for us and we will definitely be booking another stay. Thank you Paul and Karen for a lovely time.

  Quiet location, friendly horses in the field besides the garden, relaxing sound of the river flowing nearby. The cottage owners were kind enough to put the heating on before we arrived, very welcoming. Clean and plenty of towels and pillows. Beds were comfortable. Enough wood for an evening around the furnace. Slight issue with the kitchen sink hot tap, the pressure was quite poor and it took quite some time to heat up. Also, some of the lamps' lightbulbs needed changing. I want to thank the owners for posting back my remote control (that I left at the cottage), a very kind gesture indeed! If ever we're in North Wales we'd happily stay again. All the best.

  It's nice and quiet with a dog secure area and plenty of fields to take the dog for walks. The area is isolated enough to be peaceful yet close enough to places like Caernarfon and Bangor if anything is needed. Be aware that if using an Electric car that the charger infrastructure in N Wales is very poor, you may have to travel to Bangor or even Holyhead to get a rapid charge, there are more coming online however.
