Absolutely wonderful place to stay! The location is stunning, the house is clean, comfortable and well equipped and the hot tub is a fantastic bonus. Very easy to get to everything Eryri has to offer. We had a wonderful week exploring and it was a joy to come back and relax in the house and hot tub each evening.

A beautiful well equipped cottage set in a stunning valley. Plenty of walking straight from the door, with lots of 2000+ foot summits easily achievable. Its so quiet, just the sound of the stream running past the end of the garden and a multitude of pheasants squawking! The fully secure garden is a massive benefit, our dog was quite happy trottRead moreing about in it and we were confident he was safe with no chance of getting to any farm animals. Its well located for beaches on the west coast of Wales, Barmouth is a lovely resort and only 30 minutes away. And there's good access to Dolgellau and Machynlleth, both are worth a visit. We'll certainly be visiting again. Hide

We had the most lovely time here. Everything we needed was provided. We had a Morrisons delivery for food and visited the local bakery for honey buns which were incredible! The hosts were utterly lovely- and very kind. We hope to come back soon! I just wish we were closer so we could visit frequently!

Very well appointed, comfortable & homely. Very quiet rural setting. Very relaxing. The hot tub lovely & private. The drive from the village to the property is a narrow lane just over a mile with some passing points, care needed, but its worth the drive. Had a food delivery by Morrisons which meant we were self sufficient.
