We had such a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Wales. The location is absolutely perfect right inside Coed-y-Brenin forest, which made it ideal for exploring the park and enjoying the incredible scenery and walks on the doorstep. It felt beautifully secluded and peaceful (with great views), yet still within easy reach of all the activitiRead morees on offer at the coast and in the mountains. The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable and extremely well-equipped it had everything we needed and we enjoyed the log burner. There was also plenty of space for our group of four adults, two children and a dog. John and Mae were such warm, welcoming hosts, and we appreciated the privacy they gave us. A great cottage in a fantastic area with with loads to do for all ages - were already talking about coming back and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it! Hide

If you like peace and quiet on your holiday this is the place for you A beautiful spot in the mountains with fabulous views and lovely walks right from your front door, but only a short drive to towns and beaches. Three generations of us stayed and had a wonderful holiday. This was our second visit.

A fantastic stay at Maesgwyn Farm Cottage. Spotlessly clean & homely, our wonderful hosts Mae & John were incredibly welcoming making for a very comfortable and enjoyable weeks stay. Perfectly located for exploring the coast and mountains of Snowdonia with activities to suit all family members. We stayed with our 2 year old and dog who had the bestRead more time scampering up mountains, playing by Afons & Coeds, running on the beaches & playing in the waves at Harlech. If you're into mountain bike riding, there is a track right by the house which would be a lot of fun! Spectacular views from the outdoor terrace too. A truly special location and we would highly recommend to anyone. Hide

Lovely cottage tucked well away. All things youd want to visit in N Wales are less than an hours drive away. We loved the setting and the nature around us, especially the bats and owls.
