We had such a wonderful stay at Y Felin - perfect in every way. We arrived to the most generous and delicious welcome pack which we enjoyed through the week. The cottage was beautifully and thoughtfully furnished and decorated to provide a really lovely comfortable and cosy space to relax in. We particularly appreciated the location and the peace Read moreand quiet with beautiful scenery and walks from the door. We had some unusually warm weather but by the end of the week it was chilly enough to enjoy the woodburner in the evenings which made it even cosier. It was very hard to leave at the end of the holiday and we hope to return; a truly special place - thank you. Hide

Beautiful comfortable cottage. Everything worked well, and with ease, lovely and clean. You feel the owners have really thought about the comfort and need of guests. We have stayed in quite a few holiday cottages, and this is in our top 3, cleanliness is important to us & we couldnt fault any area. We even had a fresh dressing gown each. The welcomRead moree pack was like nothing we have experienced before, and such delicious products. Thankyou so much to Gwen & Daffyd for sharing this beautiful place & going above and beyond. We will definitely be booking again. Hide

One of the loveliest cottages we have stayed in. Lovely location, very peaceful, enjoyed wandering down to our own stretch of the river and walks straight out from the house. Beautifully and comfortably furnished, and as others have mentioned a very good welcome hamper. And the cafe in Dinas Mawddwy deserves a recommendation too.

A beautiful and well-equipped cottage in a lovely location. We loved our week here and didn't want to leave. It was so peaceful, just the sound of sheep and the river, with fantastic walks directly from the cottage. It's remote, so take food with you. The coffee shop in the village does excellent cake!

The owner always provides a warm welcome and contactable, the cottage is always immaculate, and the location is idyllic, so peaceful and calming.
