“The location and accomodation was perfect for our stay and the owner responded quicky to any questions we had regarding the property.”

- Damian, November 2024
Yupa October 2024

“The location was lovely and peaceful, making it ideal for stargazing at night.”

However, the heating could be on for a longer duration, and the bathroom extractor fan is not functioning. Additionally, the microwave requires a thorough cleaning or possibly replacement, and the kitchen tap needs to be either fixed or replaced.

- Yupa, October 2024
David September 2024

“If you want peace and quiet with gorgeous views then this fits the bill.”

The cottage was a good size, and comfortable. A sloping bedroom floor and sloping upstairs ceilings were quirky but, along with the wooden beams, it gave the place character. Location wise, we travelled out a lot and about an hour in either direction there was plenty to do and see. Overall, an enjoyable place to stay.

- David, September 2024
Claire June 2024

“Beautiful place and very tranquil.”

The advertising was misleading however, dogs cannot be let off in the garden which is shared. Some upgrading / repairs needed eg taps taped and leaking, outside woodwork needs repair and painting.

“No complaints at all, we had a smashing week.”

The cottage was spacious tidy and so peaceful with lovely scenic views from outside. From the cottage we enjoyed our bike rides ,walks and were certainly fitter at the end of the week than at the start.

Sarah April 2024

“It was beautiful, amazing, comfortable and relaxing.”

We were blown away by the cottage and would love to come back!!

Karin April 2024

“We loved our stay at Tegid cottage.”

Spacious cottage with good size, well equipped kitchen, the lounge was nice with the logburner and board games. Beautifully located just outside Bala, easy enough to drive in and get a few bits when needed.

Gemma March 2024

“We stayed here (2 adults, 2 children and a baby) over the Easter break.”

The cottage was clean and warm. The beds were so soft! The rooms were all a really decent size, we had everything we needed and there were even extra blankets. The landlady was lovely and we all had a brilliant time. The cottage was really easy to find and had some amazing views. We'd definitely go again

- Gemma, March 2024
Jo March 2024

“We had the most wonderful stay at Cyffdy Cottage.”

Situated in the middle of the countryside, with snowytop mountains as your backdrop. Evenings spent in front of the logfire after days of walking the local foothills. The cottage was peaceful and quiet, just what we needed. We would definitely like to come back and stay for longer - a week wasn’t long enough!

- Jo, March 2024
Helen March 2024

“Our second stay at this property and did not disappoint.”

Only problem was getting TV to work and nobody on site to assist.

- Helen, March 2024
Heather February 2024

“Cosy cottage, short drive from Bala.”

Great location with views and fabulous hikes on the doorstep. Loved the log burner in the evening after being out all day. The layout was different to expected: the kitchen is in the lower part of the building down a few steps. Only thing was single bed very bouncy, but that’s probably my preference!

- Heather, February 2024
Anna February 2024

“Had a great stay with beautiful scenery, thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait to come back.”

Cottage and facilities were brilliant and very comfy.

Susan January 2024

“This was one of the nicest cottages we've stayed in, and we've done about 40 with Sykes.”

, over last 5 years. One important drawback was it was extremely cold on arrival. Heating not set to come on till 4.00pm. It is a very large cottage and does not get very warm. The kitchen, which is big with vaulted ceiling was gorgeous but was too cold to eat in, only one radiator. Heating set by owner to go off at 10.00 am. Bk on 4.00pm till 9.00. We asked for heating to be on an extra hour which was happily done by owner. I am fully aware the building is very old but it has been modernised, but not enough well positioned radiators. Weather was horrendous first few days with storm Isha and Jocelyn. Consequently we stayed in more than would have liked. Log fire in lounge certainly helped and a small portable heater in kitchen helped. Plenty of throws and hot water bottles supplied. Beds very comfortable and settees also comfy. Did not use outside space due to weather. Walks from cottage well signposted. On a personal note we would rather have paid more and had option of putting heating on.

- Susan, January 2024
Stuart Jason January 2024

“January 15th-21st 2024.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tegid Cottage. We were greeted by owner Stephanie on our arrival, who was really friendly and welcoming. The cottage itself was beautiful, with views of the snow covered mountains. The lounge was very spacious with lovely deep chairs and a sofa. The addition of the log burner made it that extra bit more cosy on the winter evenings. The kitchen again was very spacious, equipped with everything you will need for the duration of your stay. The main bedroom was a good size, with plenty of storage, and the bed was super comfy and toasty warm. We don't usually sleep very well in an unfamiliar bed, but this wasn't the case in the cottage. We would have happily taken the bed home with us it was that comfy. The second bedroom we only used to store our photography equipment in, so we can't comment on comfort. The bathroom is the smallest room in the cottage. We found that it was best to have a bath, as the shower proved a little awkward to use due to the sloping ceiling and exposed beams. The water was always piping hot though, which was perfect for our bubble baths. We absolutely loved the Donkeys, Lily & Gruffalo, who live in the Paddock behind the cottage. We treated them to a couple of carrots each in the mornings, and a couple of ginger biscuits and a cuddle each before bed. We will definitely stay at the cottage again, and will recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Thanks Stephanie, see you again next time. Stuart & Kelly.

“Another excellent stay in Tegid.”

I've lost count of how many times I have returned, but this was somewhere around my tenth stay in this lovely cottage - that probably speaks for itself!. Can't think of a better way to spend Christmas than to sit by the log burner in the cosy lounge watching the wind and rain over the hills, with a Donkey looking in over the back fence! 10/10

“A beautiful cottage in great surroundings.”

Love the quirky features of the cottage and it was easy to get to. Everyone we met in North Wales were very friendly and extremely helpful. We had a great time and very good weather, unfortunately not enough time to see everything on our list, so guess we will be back in the future.

Richard September 2023

“What a fabulous cottage in such a wonderful peaceful location with incredible views over the mountainous scenery, yet just a 5 min drive down into the vibrant town and lake of Bala.”

This is without doubt the best furnished and equipped cottage we have holidayed in. Ideally situated with all that the Snowdon National Park has to offer within a short drive.

- Richard, September 2023
Elle July 2023

“Tegid Cottage is situated in a very rural and quiet setting, surrounded by the hills.”

Despite its remote location it is very easy to find. It is approx 7 minutes away from Bala where you can find a Co-Op and Spar for grocery shopping. The cottage is truly a gem and feels like a home. It has a modern kitchen with ample supplies, a lovely cosy living room with 3 sofas and open fire place. It has loads of board games and books. On the first floor there’s 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds and lots of storage space to put away clothes. The bathroom is equipped with a bath and shower head, which is powerful. Our children had lots of fun with the trampoline in the garden and they loved the two donkeys next to the cottage who they named Sam and Thomas! It’s an excellent location to explore Snowdonia National Park. Most attractions are within a 45 min drive. The weather was not great during our stay and it got quite cold in the mornings and evenings, but after contacting the owner, they put the heating on without any trouble. We would highly recommend Tegid Cottage for friends, people who seek peace and quiet or families with young children like us. Our dog was also most welcome. Book this place if you can, I imagine it is very popular!

Martin May 2023

“My wife and myself have just spent an amazing week at cyffiddy cottages, staying in Tegid.”

Everything about the cottage was perfect in every way . It was comfortable, warm and had every amenity you would need to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Being dog friendly was perfect for us, and we felt at home the minute we left the country road and made our way down the drive to these beautiful cottages. Location is perfect with many attractions within an hours drive and as near as a 10 minute drive to lake tegid and the lovely Market town of Bala. This is a perfect location, and we will be going back at some stage. Many thanks Stephanie and family for giving us the opportunity to stay in your amazing properties. Martin, Sophie and Millis the dog. Six out of five stars for us.

- Alison, December 2022
A December 2022

“Another delightful stay - the fourth time we've spent Christmas in Tegid.”

The only possible improvements I could suggest are upgrades to the bathroom and heating- but then having spoken to Adam and Stacy (the delightful owners), I know that both those things are already on the agenda for 2023 anyway. Look forward to seeing the progress when we next visit for Christmas 2023!

- A, December 2022
Claire September 2022

“Wow, just wow.”

I honestly have never been any where so beautiful and quirky. We had the best week we've ever had in Wales. It honestly didn't want to leave. It was so homely and comfortable with everything you needed. The little bundle for the fire when we got there was dellighful. The honest was lovely, informative and only at the end of the phone if needed. We are hoping to come back next year. Thank you for a lovely stay Stephanie ❤️

- Claire, September 2022
Gemma August 2022

“We absolutely loved our stay at Tegid, none of us wanted to leave.”

In fact we have rebooked for next year! The Cottage was clean and comfortable, with stacks of charm. The trampoline and outdoor play area were a huge bonus. Thanks so much, it was our best family holiday yet.

- Gemma, August 2022
Elizabeth August 2022

“What a wonderful stay at Tegid.”

The cottage is beautiful and set in stunning quiet surroundings with fantastic views. We loved the wooden seat looking out over the fields and sheep. The cottage allowed easy access to all the surrounding outdoor activities we were seeking. Running, hiking, paddle boarding on nearby Lake Bala and white water rafting. The cottage was always so comfortable to return to after an action packed day. We really didn’t want to leave! We are definitely going to book again for next year. Thank you to the welcoming and friendly hosts who made sure everything went smoothly and were there if we needed them.

- Elizabeth, August 2022
Jocelyn July 2022

“We enjoyed our stay very much.”

We knew exactly what we had to do on check in day via email with good directions. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. When we were at the cottage during daylight day were able to sit outside as is was such sunny weather. The location for visiting Wales was very good. The setting was very rural and pretty.

- Jocelyn, July 2022
Linda June 2022

“A gem of a cottage - very comfortable, well equipped and maintained.”

“A beautiful place to stay.”

Everything we needed was provided for us. The cottage was clean and tidy with really lovely outside spaces too, where we enjoyed the beautiful weather and views. Communication was perfect also. All information was provided for us. Highly recommended. Thank you

- David, June 2022
Michael June 2022

“An almost perfect cottage, the only thing it would need to make it perfect would be to update the bathroom.”

- Michael, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Noted and taken on board your feedback regarding the bathroom. Updating the bathroom in this cottage is on our plan for next winter when the cottage is quieter. We look forward to this upgrade as feel it would improve the already beautiful cottage to a higher level. Hopefully you can then visit again once the improvement has been carried out. Property Owner

Emily March 2022

“The cottage was a wonderful little retreat that was welcoming and very clean.”

It had lots of amenities and a helpful folder containing information about the local area and walks. The cottage is set amongst breathtaking scenery and walking out of your front door to a view of the mountains every day was very special. We particularly enjoyed snuggling down in the evenings in the cosy living room, with the log burner roaring. The hosts were very friendly and quick to respond to messages. I would highly recommend a stay in Tegid if you are looking for a peaceful break away.

- Emily, March 2022

Thank you for your great feedback on your stay at our Tegid Cottage here at Cyffdy Cottages. The views from the cottage are spectacular and we are very lucky to be situated in such a great location. We hope to see you back to stay again soon. Property Owner

Graham September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.”

Really lovely spot and lots to do. Cottage was excellent with full amenities. The two single beds in the second room were a little close together, but good if you've got kids.

- Graham, September 2021
Maynard September 2021

“The soft furnishings need replacing as they are tired and not very comfortable.”

There is a long standing leak in the bathroom also the tap in the washbasin is falling off.I would say that we would have liked a more hands on approach from the owners as we were told if we had any query to contact them by phone even though their house was just across the courtyard.

- Maynard, September 2021

Hi Mr Beddard, thank you for your feedback. We have now addressed the issue with the tap and also tried to make the sofa's more comfortable, however we have not had any complaints in regards to them being uncomfortable before. With regards to the contact by phone, yes we live across the road but due to us still being in a pandemic and us having a young family we try to limit contact with our guests in order to keep our family safe. We hope you understand this and hope you enjoyed your stay. Kind Regards Stacy. Property Owner

“This was our second stay at Cyffdy.”

Maria July 2021

“The cottage was lovely with all you could want for a home from home experience.”

The views and the surrounding countryside was amazing. The owner was friendly and very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. Had an amazing time

- Maria, July 2021
Glenda June 2021

“Beautiful, well equipped cottage in an idyllic country setting.”

It was far enough away off the beaten track, so no traffic noise, just the lambs bleating and bird song. Our hosts Stephanie and Stacy were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Plenty of local information on places to visit, including a book on beautiful walks nearby. Bala is closeby with a lovely lake and watersports, shops and restaurants. Also impressed that Coeliacs are catered for in Bala. Harlech castle and Portmeirion within easy travelling distance. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Glenda, June 2021
Penny June 2021

“Amazing! We would highly recommend this cottage.”

The cottage itself has absolutely everything you could want - it's a home from home. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, and they have thought of everything to give a perfect experience. The cottage was spotlesslly clean on arrival and everything you see in the description is exactly as described and infact exceeded our expectations, especially the brand new kitchen and fresh decor. The area itself is so quiet and tranquil, and yet within a few minutes drive of local amenities, and within an hour of beautiful seaside towns including Barmouth. We will have no hesitation in going back to this property - thank you for a wonderful experience.

- Penny, June 2021
Joseph May 2021

“It was all really good thanks.”

We enjoyed the place. Good kitchen. Only downside was that the only blackout blind was in the bathroom.

- Joseph, May 2021
Sarah May 2021

“This was a lovely holiday home in beautiful surroundings.”

The house is well equipped - especially the kitchen. The only thing missing would be a stand up shower but we managed fine. Our boys loved the outdoor spaces and especially the trampoline! The beds were very comfy. The owners were really lovely. All in all we had a great week!

- Sarah, May 2021

Gemma September 2020

“Beautiful cottage.”

Booked for partners birthday with our two dogs and had a wonderful time. Very cosy and comfy with everything we needed and more. Thank you. The cottage and area are amazing and it will be a holiday to remember. The cottage lacked in cleanliness however. Cobwebs all over lighshades, dust everywhere and dog chewed treat left under bed from previous guests which our dogs smelt out immediately. Lightbulbs out everywhere so lacked light. And watermarks over mirror and taps in bathroom upon arrival. Would be ideal to be able to turn heating on/off as when we stayed in the cottage during the day due to rain it was cold in house, except living room with log burner. This didn’t affect our stay however working in the line of service I would expect a higher standard of cleaning. All in all we enjoyed our holiday thoroughly and communication with staff was excellent through texting. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful cottage.

- Gemma, September 2020
Stanley September 2020

“Stunning cottage , fulfilled expectations and beyond , spotless accommodation would definitely recommend”

- Stanley, September 2020
Paul September 2020

The property was well decorated and had great facilities (excellent kitchen) . The grounds were kept beautifully. Nice local town and every meal out was really good quality at a fair price. Had an excellent week.

- Paul, September 2020
Jacinta August 2020

“Cottage in an excellent location, near to beautiful lake and shops but still in a quiet, tranquil rural area with stunning views.”

Everything provided at the cottage, very comfortable and very clean. We loved the fenced-off area outside that the dog could go in and also the children loved the outdoor trampoline.

- Jacinta, August 2020
Tracy March 2020

“Very friendly and the cottage was superb.”

Everything you needed if you book this cottage you will not be disappointed.

Roger January 2020

“Beautiful quirky cottage that you really couldn't help but be impressed by, and the setting was lovely.”

The host, Stephanie, was so welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. We will definitely be going back.

- Roger, January 2020
Thomas January 2020

“The cottage itself is in a lovely and peaceful location with beautiful views across lovely Welsh contryside, and it has everything that you could wish for to enjoy your break.”

If I was to nit pick at anything, then I would say that the cottage is suited for a couple or young family, but would not be suitable for 4 adults as the second bedroom is very small, and even though there is a shower over the bath, it cannot be used as a shower due to the roof space. Also, some people may struggle witht he internet connection as we were only able to get a 300kbps at best, but that suited us fine as we wanted to get away from it all. All in all, we would highly recommend this cottage.

- Thomas, January 2020
Grainne January 2020

“The cottage was perfect!”

The kitchen was really well stocked with equipment which was great. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the hot water was really hot - great for long soaks in the bath. The surroundings were beautiful and the cottage is so close to Bala. I was slightly concerned I might be cold due to the time of year but the central heating was good and the log burner fabulous. The hosts were friendly and accessible. Would absolutely recommend.

- Grainne, January 2020

Beautiful views and great setting. Dog friendly safe garden area. Idea location for sightseeing and visiting the local areas. Supermarket in Bala just a few miles away.

Anonymous July 2019

“Excellent cottage and facilities.”

Found the settees too soft for our liking, as we struggled to get out of them. This is probably because we're old geezers! Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed our break.

- Anonymous, July 2019
Sandra May 2019

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Very spacious, comfortable and clean. Second bedroom was small but the space in the rest of the cottage more than made up for this. Highly recommended.

Graham March 2019

“Tegid near Parc BALA was above expectations the cottage had everything and more fantastic layout wonderful views and equipped so that you really didn't require anything.”

The owners contacted me early to ensure I had all details required prior to the start of our break. They were also available if required during the time we were there. Very friendly and accommodating owners

- Graham, March 2019
Jillian February 2019

“A lovely cottage we all felt at home as soon as we walked in even our border terrier !”

The enclosed area at the side of the cottage was ideal for our doggie as you knew he was safe. The views from the cottage are spectacular. The owner who lives across from the cottage is lovely and so are her family. If you like walking there are plenty of walks signposted from the road below the cottage so you wouldn't need to take your car. The large hallway was ideal for placing your walking boots etc . One of our highlights of our holiday was seeing the starlings do their murmuration flight around the cottage . Bala is only about a 3 mile drive from the cottage for any supplies you need or a look around the different shops cafes etc and plenty more walks out of here. We will be definitely returning

- Jillian, February 2019
Emma February 2019

“Tegid Cottage is beautiful and the views around are amazing.”

Definitely the place to go if you want to get away and relax, the cottage is quite large, it's deceiving from the outside. Great for dogs too as very quiet, not right on the road and the road it's off is a small lane only used lightly. The facilities are great, huge kitchen if you want to make your own food but just a few miles away is Bala with more than you need for food. I really couldn't have asked for more from the facilities provided. Thank you Steph for sharing that amazing little gem with the world!

- Emma, February 2019
Janet February 2019

Alan February 2019

“It was a delightful cottage which we enjoyed staying in very much, the setting was more than we had hoped for as the views and surrounding area were stunning.”

The cottage itself was nicely laid out, very pleasing to the eye, which created a nice atmosphere throughout. It was disappointing that the gas wood burner was out of commission in te living room as it was a little cool at times and we had looked forward to the fire effect for cosy evenings but the host, who was excellent and very welcoming, explained all this so it was just unfortunate timing that a repair or replacement was not available. The rest of the facilities were excellent, an amazing kitchen too. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would definitely return.

- Alan, February 2019
Katie January 2019

“Me and my partner stayed at this cottage and the pictures do not do it justice!”

It's so homey inside and the views and landscapes surrounding are breathtaking. Our 1 year old Labrador belle loved the walks around Bala Lake and the farmlands around the property. I would highly reccomend this property and would absolutely stay here again.

- Katie, January 2019
Steve October 2018

Helen August 2018

“What an amazing cottage with fantastic views.”

Yes you had to travel by car to go anywhere as unsafe to walk on the narrow lane but small price to pay for a luxury destination at a bargain price. It had everything you needed making our holiday relaxing.

- Helen, August 2018
Tracy June 2018

“We had a fabulous time.”

Steph and her family were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back

- Tracy, June 2018
Samantha June 2018

“The cottage was easily big enough for entertaining 4 people (massive lounge and kitchen/diner) but while the double bedroom was enormous the twin bedroom was snug.”

The outside space was lovely and there was a small adventure playground for any kids to use. Easily space for 2 cars to park. The owners lived opposite and were really helpful

- Samantha, June 2018
Janet May 2018

“Great location.”

Secluded but not too far from local amenities and Bala lake. Very peaceful holiday.
