Reviews

I love staying at this cottage I love all I can hear are sheep and birds- it is so peaceful and relaxing, seeing the new born lambs is great, even when one tries to escape the field The views from the patio are amazing, the mountains behind and the sea at the front. The sun sets never disappoint Owners are great hosts

Mrs G,

Beudy Gwenoliaid was a wonderful place to stay for a week, a short hop down to the beach, and a pleasant walk along the Promenade into Barmouth. It was lovely being within a working farm with sheep for neighbours, and very friendly owners. The cottage is well kitted out and very comfortable.

Mr W,

Lovely spot backing onto fields above the main road. Can’t hear the cars - only the waves! Simply but well decorated “upside down” house, with living space above and bedrooms below. Means the living space has masses of light and sea views, opening onto a terrace with a sturdy picnic bench that was ideal for our young family. Highly recommended.

Mrs W,

Great cottage in a lovely location, nice to hear the waves, see the sheep in the fields. Enjoyed chatting with owner Gareth. Close enough to Barmouth for the beach and cafes etc but nice to retreat to the cottage and relax.

Mrs D,

Our cottage, Beudy Gwenoliaid, was very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay there.

Mr C,

This was our third visit to this property and it’s sister property. The hosts are friendly and helpful. It is highly likely that we will be returning

Mr Mick W,

Lovely light and airy property upstairs with sun in the morning and most of the day on the patio,with wonderful sea views, and beautiful sunsets over the sea in the evening from the kitchen 'balcony' window. Hosts very pleasant and available but not intrusive.

Mrs L,

Location

This beautiful, detached Barmouth holiday cottage is located in Llanaber, 1 mile from Barmouth (shops, restaurants, bars etc) on the North Wales coast. A very short walk to the nearest beach and just a 5 minute walk to Barmouth’s amazing blue flag beach. Beudy Gwenoliaid cottage with sea views also benefits from having one foot in the countryside, with walks leading to the hills from the doorstep.

And then you have Mawddach Way, including the beautiful Barmouth Bridge crossing that can be joined 1 mile away. It has been said that there is "no better walk than from Barmouth through to Dolgellau other than from Dolgellau to Barmouth". The views of the Snowdonia mountains sweeping down to the Mawddach estuary are phenomenal, an experience not to be missed, especially at sunset.

10 miles north along the coast is the picturesque village of Harlech with its nationally and internationally renowned golf course in a breathtaking setting, dominated by the brooding presence of Harlech Castle. For keen mountain bikers, the world renowned Coed y Brenin mountain biking centre is also nearby.

The ferry crossing from Barmouth to Fairbourne and the steam train at Fairbourne offers another great day out, just minutes from this beautiful Barmouth holiday cottage with sea views. If you have time, the Italian village of Portmeirion is also worth a visit and with Snowdonia National Park being so close, a walk to the top of Snowdon could well be on the cards.
