First point to note is steps to access back door and the kitchen, stairs are steep and bannister rail is low, its not mobility friendly and this isnt in the cottage description. Cottage is cosy albeit very much in need of some TLC. We had a significant issue with the cleanliness but this was dealt with immediately to our satisfaction. Lots of booksRead more, DVDS & games, plenty of seating. Kitchen/bathroom are rooms and appliances only - youll need to take everything else with you. Good info folder. Hide

Lots to like about this cottage. In a friendly, interesting village. Upstairs bright and airy with two good bedrooms .Hot water plentiful, efficient electric shower. Downstairs roomy with plenty of seating. Would be cosy in cooler weather. The kitchen is basic -difficult oven door, limited storage for guests own food. Garden perfect- secure with niRead morece seating area. Ideal for dogs. Parking not a problem. In short, homely rather than slick. Id be happy to return. Hide

The cottage location was in a fantastic location. It was a lovely village with a shop and pub and close to the beach. The cottage was cosy and the garden was peaceful near the river. The weather was beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the garden, enjoying the sound of the river and watching the birds. Sadly, the oven door was hard to shut and tRead morehere were no oven gloves, the oven also kept tripping the electric. We reported this to the owner and its being addressed by an electrician. Hide

The Cottage by the River was absolutely beautiful both inside and out, we had such a lovely time and were sad to leave. The cottage is so quaint and homely, we will be booking again for sure.

The cottage was situated in an ideal area if you wanted to explore the snowdonia area. It was very comfortable and cosy. The private garden was ideal if you had any pets with you on holiday.

We had a lovely week at By The River, very comfortable and homely cottage in a great area. The village is friendly with pretty lanes, many of which lead to the beach or train station, embellished by some fantastic creations by the local knitting group! Local pebble beach, nearby beautiful sands at Fairbourne, and many coastal and woodland walks. GrRead moreeat for dogs. Local trains and steam trains a highlight. Good access to Eryrl NP and Lleyn peninsular from a quieter and picturesque area. Will return Hide
