We loved this cottage. It was so comfortable for us and our toddler. The views were fantastic and it was only a short beautiful drive to Barmouth and the coast. The cottage was spotless and nicely furnished, couldnt fault it. Plenty of great walks from the door. We are already thinking of a return trip.

Beautiful cottage in stunning location. If you want to leave the world and traffic behind then this is the place for you. Only noise you will hear is from the sheep bleating in the fields.

Great cottage in a peaceful location as described. Spacious and well equipped. Access road is narrow and steep in places but very few other vehicles. We had cuckoos just outside the garden and enjoyed sitting out listening to them on warm evenings. Blinds are missing from the main bedroom windows which need replacing ASAP as it means the sun wakesRead more you up at 5am in summer which is a bit early for a holiday! Also we couldn't work out how to switch the outdoor lights off to be able to see the stars more clearly. Hide
