Amazing! Cwm Mawr sits in an amazing position above Porthmadog with stunning rural and coastal views. Ideally located to explore so much of what Eryri has to offer. The farmhouse is secluded and sits at the end of a farm track which was fairly easy to find after pinpointing on google maps! (///wins.lends.entitles). The farmhouse offers comfortable Read moretraditional accommodation which is clean and provides all the amenities you need. We had a relaxing and uninterrupted week enjoying the house and exploring local towns and castles! We will definately be back and thank you Non for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. Hide

We are very pleased to be able to add our praise to the many positive reviews about Cwm Mawr. We had a fabulous week in this warm, comfortable and homely farmhouse. Thank you for the welcome pack and for providing such a lovely place to stay. Everything was in place to meet our needs in terms of cooking, keeping warm and having a good night's sleepRead more! The location was perfect for exploring the mountains and gorgeous beaches nearby, though it was almost as good just staying at the farm. We would definitely recommend staying there. Hide

Fantastic cottage with spectacular views of the mountains and sea. Plenty of walks directly from the cottage and the beach and amenities are a short drive away. What a brilliant place to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet. The hosts are lovely people and very helpful to ensure you have a wonderful stay.

Warm (heating very efficient) and comfortable (especially beds!) despite the autumn winds and rain. Incredible views and a perfect spot for cloud watching. Lighting in the kitchen could do with some attention (but dim) and reading lights would be useful in lounge. Lovely welcome basket .Thank you. Will come again !
