"An amazing cottage, peaceful, stunning views and well equipped."
We had a really comfortable stay, the cottage is stylishly furnished and has everything you need for a relaxing break. Good location and lots to see locally. Definitely 5 star!
Many thanks for being excellent guests and for this great review. So pleased you had such a good holiday at Llyn Noddfa. Property Owner

"Llyn Noddfa was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in."
From the quality of the furnishings and bed linen and the comfortable beds to the wonderful views from the house and garden especially the master bedroom it made for the perfect week. I also have to mention the wild water swimming in the lake which a number of our party really enjoyed a really life affirming way to start the day! A really great place to stay and we would love to come back!
Thank you for this excellent review and for being such great guests. The way in which the whole family enjoyed wild swimming in our lake was truly impressive. We hope you will come again. Property Owner

"We loved this property."
The views are amazing and it is a warm and welcoming house with all amenities including an excellent kitchen and dining area. We didn’t use the pool or the wild swimming lake because of the weather but both looked inviting and a great addition to the property. The dog area is secure so we never worried about letting the dog out into the garden area. The welcome pack included milk and Welsh butter and was a very nice touch. Would highly recommend to people wanting to explore this part of Wales and stay in a high quality property.
Thank you for this great review. I am so pleased you had a good stay at Llyn Noddfa. You were excellent guests. Property Owner

"We had an excellent stay at Llyn Noddfa - a beautiful property in a great location!"
We made good use of the lake for wild swimming each morning and evening - a lovely small lake perfect for a refreshing dip and swim. The pool and games room were great too. Thank you so much Robert and Carey, we will definitely come back.
Thank you for your great review. I am delighted that you had such a successful stay. We were pleased to see you enjoying wild swimming in the lake and that you made the most of the other facilities. Thank you for being such considerate guests. Please come and stay again. Property Owner

"A lovely holiday cottage, plenty of space and well looked after."
Hosts were very kind and helpful, very good communication with us. Fenced off garden was perfect for the dogs, and the swimming pool was perfect for the kids! The home made brownies left for us on arrival were delicious, all in all a good base for us, and a lovely week had by all.
Thank you for your very positive review. It is always nice to have such great feedback. Thank you for being excellent guests. You certainly made the most of the pool,which was lovely to see, despite some mixed weather. Property Owner

"We had a fantastic time at Lynn Noddfa."
The welcome pack was very much appreciated with home made chocolate brownies and a loaf, the wine went down very well. Thank you Robert and Carey for making us feel so welcome. The house is spacious and well equipped although there was no plastic tableware for use at the pool or the patio, we went out and bought our own, better to be safe. The beds were very comfortable and all 8 of us had 7 great nights sleep. The views are beautiful and the pool was amazing we were lucky to have some sunny days. Be careful on the first right turn when turning down the first lane as we encountered a few lorries. We would thoroughly recommend this property for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. Thanks again Robert and Carey.
Thank you for your lovely review. Reading these comments gives us so much pleasure. Plastic tableware is a good idea; thank you. I am so happy that you had such a good visit. Thank you for watering our pot plants while we were away and for leaving Llyn Noddfa so spotless. Property Owner

"This was our second visit."
The owners were lovely and welcoming and left a much appreciated welcome gift. The shortbread was very good. The house itself was just like our first visit. Perfect for what we wanted. Loads of space, great garden space for the dogs to run round in and overall very relaxing, almost like a home away from home.
So pleased you had a good second visit. Thank you for being excellent guests and for leaving the place spotless. Your review comments are highly appreciated. Property Owner

"A really nice place to stay There were 6 of us so maybe an extra sofa in the lounge would be helpful if 8 were going."
Super swimming pool and the games room although not glamorous is perfect for the damp days. Views to die for. especially from the kitchen and main bedroom. The hosts Robert and his wife are so friendly and helpful
I am so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your half-term stay and that you were able to make good use of the pool and games barn. Thank you for your feed back. Regarding your point about another sofa in the sitting-room, we don't think there is enough space for a third sofa and there is already enough seating for 9 people which is ample. Property Owner

"This is a fantastic property that catered for all our needs."

"Review for Llyn-Noddfa Date of arrival (12th August 2023) Wow!"
Such a beautiful accommodation in a stunning location with amazing hosts! What more could you ask for? The barn has been converted to a very high standard with everything you need for a great stay. Such a peaceful setting with great views of the lake and valleys. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and left a lovely welcome pack. They were on hand to answer any questions but were not in any way intrusive. The use of a lovely swimming pool was an added bonus. We would highly recommend this property and would love to visit again!
Thanks for the great review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. You were excellent guests. We would be delighted to welcome you back here again. Property Owner

"Llyn Noddfa is a fabulous place and we had a lovely time."
Lovely communal spaces allow everyone to join together or to spread out. The rooms were bright and comfortable, particularly the master bedroom with its floor to ceiling windows! Modern facilities, plenty of hot water for all 7 of us and comfortable beds! We used the pool every day even though the weather was mixed as it was warm and sheltered. The grounds were great for the dogs who had a whale of a time and we had no worries about losing our terrier or collie from the garden, although a smaller dog would need supervising carefully. Robert and his wife were very welcoming and helpful so we enjoyed our stay hugely. We would recommend a holiday here.
Thank you for the lovely review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your week with us. You certainly made the most of the opportunities despite the rather mixed weather. Thank you for being excellent guests. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Llyn Noddfa."
The property was superb and in such a beautiful and peaceful setting. The host (Robert) was very friendly and accommodating and always available when we had any questions. Robert also gave us some excellent suggestions of places to visit during our stay. The property was very well equipped with quality appliances and extremely comfortable beds. The added benefit of the swimming pool was fantastic! We also really appreciated the generous welcome pack, such a thoughtful touch. We didn’t want to leave!
Thank you for this great review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your two weeks with us. You were perfect guests and I was impressed with your sense of adventure. It was brilliant that you got to see the puffins on Skomer. Property Owner

"If you need a quiet place to chill and take in breathtaking views of the Welsh Valley, this is the place to go."
Stunning sunrises and sunsets. Master bedroom with uninterrupted views of the Valley. Good photography points to capture wildlife. Safe secure garden for young children and dogs. Good use of a shared swimming pool. All the amenities you have if you were home. Hosts are very welcoming and have made a barn into a beautiful home for visitors.

"Wonderful barn conversion."
Great location and masses of space for us all to share and not feel cramped. Beautifully done conversion, contemporary and with plenty of bathrooms. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, with useful tips on local places to visit. All the family ( we took our younger daughter and her family) really enjoyed staying here and were very comfortable. We were left a great welcome pack, which made us feel truly valued. The touch of some homemade brownies was excellent and they were lovely. Beds were very comfortable, the combination of modern and antique furniture great and separate living/tv room was useful, but we enjoyed spending our time together in the kitchen/living/dining room. Waking up in the morning to that view from the main bedroom, across the countryside was just amazing. We had terrible, wet weather, but because of the spacious surroundings didn’t feel confined at all. We all would have liked to stay longer and my husband and I can’t wait to bring our older daughter and her family to spend time together in these wonderful surroundings. Thank you so much for sharing this delightful home with us.
Thank you very much for this detailed and really positive review. You were excellent guests and we enjoyed getting to know you. I hope you visit us again and are rewarded with better weather. Property Owner

"It's hard to express just how much we enjoyed our break at Llyn Noddfa in Broad Oak."
The accommodation was outstanding and the views/grounds were simply stunning. If we were going to design and furnish a barn conversion ourselves, then this would be the template we'd use. It's clean and crisp without being sterile, comforting and homely without feeling like you're intruding into someone else's home. Our visit was in late January and so we decided not to try out the open water swimming lake, but maybe we'll brave it when we go back in the summer! The owners, who live in the next door property, were there to greet us on arrival and wave us off on departure. They made it clear they were available to us during our stay if we needed them, but wouldn't intrude on us otherwise. They were perfect hosts. We spent our days walking with our dogs on the hills and in the forests at Troserch and Gorlech, both a relatively short drive away. We ate each night in the accommodation making full use of the excellent kitchen and dining area. There are some good pubs etc nearby but we chose to 'cook, eat and flop' at the barn instead after our long days. I highly recommend Llyn Noddfa!
Thank you very much for this outstanding review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much. You were excellent guests and I do hope you will come again. Property Owner

"We stayed over for 5 nights over New Year and we were not disappointed."
Llyn Noddfa is a special place. A newly converted barn in beautiful surroundings. On arrival we were welcomed by Robert and Carey who were lovely people and couldn’t do enough for us. we were a party of 2 families with 2 children each and a small dog, there was plenty of room for all of us. We really didn’t want to leave. thanks guys
