Lovely holiday

The cottage worked well for us with our late teen/ early 20s kids. Lots to do in the area and the cottage was a calm base to come home to. Fab views and all essential amenities provided

Fantastic stay

The property was great, fantastic views of the surrounding areas. Includes garden which created a wonderful time for the little one to play and explore. Highly recommend this place with good access to beaches, woodlands and mountains which allows you to relax and immerse yourself in the wilderness of Wales. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future.

A great base in a great area

We had a fabulous week here in September, much helped by superb weather. Its impossible to review the cottage without mentioning the wonderful view across the river towards Cader Idris through the huge living room window. Our dog spent a lot of time gazing out of it at the sheep. The accommodation feels very spacious, you have all you need and bed was extremely comfortable. The garden is lovely on a sunny day, and Sally the host was very approachable and helpful. Also, the pizza place 300m away is excellent.

Sehr gute Lage im südlichen Snowdownia

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Wohnung ist groß und gut ausgestattet mit tollem Blick auf den Cader Idris. Haben viele Ausflüge unternommen und die Strände in der Umgebung genossen. Unsere Kinder haben die Scheune mit Billard-Tisch geliebt

The Best View in Mid Wales

A super cottage with excellent facilities for our party of 4adults and one Border Terrier. Ideally located for travel to nearby places of interest. Superb view of Cadre Idris from the large lounge picture window. We will certainly recomend it.

Peaceful & relxed break in lovely area

The owners,Alice & Martin,live on the same site as the cottage we rented.They were very pleasant & helpful throughout our stay.The cottage was fully equipped and comfortable with a lounge area overlooking the Mawddach estuary and Cader Idris mountain through a large picture window. The 2 dwellings were alone beside the road to Barmouth ,convenient for other towns and walks in all directions in this beautiful area. Ideal for for a relaxed break .

Enjoyable stay

One of the reasons for booking the cottage was the view of Cadir Idris over the estuary. That was brilliant! If you’re looking for ‘The Ritz’ then I’m afraid you might be disappointed. However the cottage is clean, comfortable and is in a great location. Sally the owner was very friendly and helpful. We had a great week
