Reviews

We had a great week at the cottage, somewhere that I would return in future. The cottage was spotlessly and well equipped, with everything we needed. The owner was really welcoming and the children had many questions about the farm, which he didn't get tired answering. Our closest neighbours made such relaxing noises (baa baa) The cottage was spacious and had a homely feeling, also a lovely patio area for dining. Nice finishing touches throughout, oh and the welcoming basket one of the best with fresh flowers

Ms Janet L,

Beautiful cottage in the mountains with stunning scenery. There wasn’t a single thing we could fault or any equipment we felt was lacking. The owners were lovely. It was extra special to be there during lambing season to see lots of newborn lambs. I’d go back tomorrow!

Ms Sarah B,

Our final visit of 2022 and we cannot wait for next spring. A lovely welcome package as usual and a feeling of coming to our second home. Travelled to Aberystwyth to the Vale of Rheidol Steam Railway - well worth it. Glad to see the village cafe still open. Just as friendly and welcoming as it has always been. Ending our visit with a meal at the Brigands - always delicious

Previous Customer,

Thank you for the use of this lovely cottage. Loads of walks in spite of winter weather. Loved walking across Barmouth Bridge. Thank you for the goodies!

Past Customer,

We had a wonderful time staying here. The cottage was charming and loved by all of us. The games room was definitely one of the best parts. The are is absolutely amazing even with the wind and rain! We took walks and discovered lots of bridges and streams. Thank you.

Past Customer,
