“Dear Jane, This is truly an amazing place in a fabulous location—it feels like stepping into a different world.”

The beauty of the mountains and the fresh, clean air made it so special. You are such an amazing host, and the homemade gluten-free Welsh cakes were absolutely delicious—I couldn’t find anything like them in the shops! The property itself was perfect. A big fridge-freezer, hob, oven, pots, plates—you’ve thought of everything we might need for a comfortable stay. The only small challenge was the WiFi signal, which made it a bit tricky when we were looking up places to visit or streaming a film in the evening. But honestly, everything else was beyond amazing. I left with tears in my eyes because it felt like leaving a second home. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you so much, Jane, for letting us stay in your wonderful place. Warm regards, Karina (with a pretty accent

“Thank you for the home baked items and milk etc, they were really good and much appreciated.”

The property was well equipped and comfortable. The upside down arrangement worked well in the hot conditions. A nice peaceful location.

Alison August 2025

“We had a lovely stay at this holiday cottage, which was spotlessly clean, spacious, and impressively well equipped.”

From kitchen essentials to cozy touches, everything had clearly been thought through with care. One of the highlights was the generous welcome left by the owner: home-baked sausage rolls, traditional Welsh cakes, bara brith, and even milk in the fridge. It was such a charming and personal gesture that made us feel instantly at home. The cottage itself is in a beautiful location, with scenic surroundings that are perfect for exploring or simply soaking in the peace and quiet. Overall, a delightful place to stay with thoughtful touches and a high standard of comfort.

Freya July 2025

“The property was a great location, quiet and private and only 10 minute drive to Llanberis.”

Jane was a lovely host, super responsive and also left us a table of baked goodies which were delightful!

Chris June 2025

“Very clean well maintained cottage.”

A lovely welcome afternoon tea was waiting for us, all freshly baked that day.

Warren May 2025

“II would like to extend a big thank you to Jane, who was very welcoming on arrival and the goodies were a welcome treat.”

Hafod was easily spacious enough for the two of us and four legged friend, bed was very comfortable and shower was really good. The kitchen was equiped with everything that could be required for self catering. I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who likes a peaceful relaxing environment.

- Warren, May 2025
Nicki May 2025

“Nice upside-down property in a lovely location.”

So quiet and lovely to watch all the birds around the barn. Great shower, comfy bed and all the facilities you would desire in a holiday cottage. Jane left us some lovely sausage rolls and cakes too. There is a lovely little grassed area at the side of the property. Although we can see now that 'garden' is marked as 'things to love' on the listing, there was nothing in the details of the property and so we didn't realise until we spoke to Jane later in the week. Jane is lovely, the property is lovely, and the location is fabulous for all that Snowdonia has to offer and we would definitely try to return to this cottage if we wanted to explore the area further. The only suggestions I would make is a 'mind your head' sign above the upper door as we are both fairly short but banged our heads twice, and maybe a couple of trays so we didn't have to sit at the table to eat. Everything else was perfect. Thank you

- Nicki, May 2025
Jane September 2024

“A lovely cottage.”

Well situated. Very quiet. The Hostess, Jane, made some lovely pastries and cakes, and there was even fresh milk in the fridge. Well situated for many amenities. We plan to go back next year. Would highly recommend.

Laura September 2024

“What can I say .”

.. other than fantastic! Best cottage we have stayed in. The proprietor Jane was lovely and welcoming. She had baked a Birthday cake for me upon arrival amongst some other welsh goodies ... Welsh cakes and Bira Brith. This really made my Birthday and stay one to remember. The location couldn't have been more perfect for us. The living space was superb ... cosy and inviting, the log burner on an evening was wonderful, loved reclining in the leather chair with a glass of red wine watching the flames flicker away. Our Springer Spaniel Biscuit loved been cosy after our long walks and exploring during the day. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we required to cook our meals. The bed was so comfy and we had amazing night's sleeps after exploring snowdonia national park. Absolutely loved the jacuzzi bath to unwind and soak our legs after some long hikes. Highly recommend anyone to stay here, super dog friendly and just perfect. I can't wait to go back infact, we were really sad to have to leave! Thank you for an amazing and memorable stay at Hafod cottage .

Lesley February 2024

“Wonderful little cottage in a peaceful country setting.”

It has everything you could ask for while on holiday. The bed was extremely comfortable set on the ground floor with a bathroom ensuite. The main living area upstairs was welcoming with reclining chairs fully fitted kitchen area and dining table. The goodies laid out on the table hand cooked by Jane,the owner, was a lovely touch. A lovely little hideaway set in peaceful surroundings well worth a second visit

“We enjoyed a wonderful week at Hafod.”

A beautiful cottage in foothills of snowdonia and a few minutes drive from Anglesey. Location was perfect. The cottage is well equipped and immaculate. It is very comfortable and well supplied with what you need for your stay. Jane, the owner, is on hand if you need anything and provides a very warm welcome with her wonderful bakes! Thanks Jane they were delicious and very much appreciated. The dogs were welcome too and thoroughly enjoyed their stay too. Thank you very much

Michael September 2023

“We arrived (after a long journey from the northeast) around 4 pm.”

Mrs Pierce was there to greet us, and she provided a nice selection of baked goodies to enjoy with our tea. Her Welshcakes are excellent! Hafod is one of four cottages (the farm also does B&B). Downstairs double bedroom and bathroom, newly stairs to upper floor with lounge/kitchen/dining area. Property well appointed: fridge/freezer, dish washer (although we didn't use), lots of kitchen and dining accessories, washing machine and tumble dryer downstairs. All towels and tea towels provided. Good WiFi connection. Ty Mawr Farm is a great location to explore coast, Anglesey, Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. Not far from anywhere! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Hafod (or one of the other cottages) for visitors wanting to explore North Wales. Lots of attractions- we spent time at National Trust and Cadw properties, and to RSP at South Stack. Despite the poor forecasts, the weather was great.

Shirley June 2023

“Havod, was exactly as expected.”

A perfect upside down holiday cottage for two. Situated around a courtyard of 4 cottages on a working farm you were surrounded by perfect peace and tranquility. Couple that with the wonderful mountains we were loving it. Jane was amazing. She had furnished the dining table with delicious home made goodies on our arrival. She was always on hand for any questions we had. Such a lovely lady. The comfort in the cottage was fabulous. We slept like logs in the sumptuous beds. There is a really decent sized shower and a bubble bath. The upstairs kitchen and lounge were extremely well equipped and comfortable. We had a wonderful holiday and are aiming to return with our family . Thank you Jane

- Shirley, June 2023
Chris May 2023

“Hafod is a great place to stay, Jane couldn't be more helpful in settling us in and baked us left us some lovely cakes and sausage rolls also a jug of milk, a good start to the holiday and when we left she also made us a fruit loaf, much appreciated Jane.”

- Chris, May 2023

“Lovely place.”

Greeted with sausage rolls and cakes, scrumptious! Would recommend this place to all couples!

- Debra, April 2023
Jean September 2022

“We had a wonderful few days staying at Hafod.”

Jane, the owner, welcomed us (with cake specially made to meet our dietary needs) and the cottage was warm, comfortable and very well equipped, including the little things like washing up liquid and kitchen roll, that are sometimes not provided. There was space for the dogs to relieve themselves and outside stairs to the upper floor so our old dog didn't have to negotiate the spiral staircase. The only very little niggle was that the armchairs, described as recliners, no longer reclined! A really good self-catering cottage that I would recommend to anyone. Thankyou, Jane!

- Jean, September 2022
Sarah August 2022

Maureen August 2021

“Felt at home as soon as we walked in.”

There were home made cakes waiting for us when we arrived, which were very welcome as we hadn't eaten all day. Superb location for getting everywhere for exploring and walking. Jane, our host, was welcoming, her door was always open. She went out of her way one morning by giving us a lift to Bangor bus station so we could get the bus to Llandudno after our car got locked in the local shopping centre car park. We had a fabulous holiday and only wished we could have stayed two weeks rather than one. Highly recommended.

- Maureen, August 2021
Beata July 2021

“We had a wonderful week at Hafod cottage.”

The peaceful environment was full of cute animals, the owner was very friendly and helpful and let me hand feed a lamb which I will never forget :). Cottage was charming and cosy and had most stuff you usually need, and the owner was happy to help with anything we were missing.

- Beata, July 2021
Pat June 2021

“Had a lovely week in this ‘upside down’ cottage.”

Spotlessly clean and comfortable with everything you need. It is a good base from which to visit lots of the beautiful places of north wales. Jane, the owner, lives on site and was welcoming and makes the most delicious cakes - a really thoughtful touch on arrival to find cakes on the table and milk in the fridge - a brilliant start to a holiday, thank you Jane.

“Hafod cottage is a little gem of a place.”

- Graham, September 2020
Jane August 2020

“A lovely cosy cottage for 2 in a spectacular and very quiet location which was just what we wanted.”

The upside down layout, wood burner and spa bath made it an extra nice experience. The owner is lovely, helpful and very freindly and makes exceedingly good cakes! All Covid secure measures were in place and we felt very safe. The Peak restaurant in nearby Llanberis is highly recommended.

- Jane, August 2020
Jovana August 2020

“The cottage was fantastic, really spacious and beautiful.”

Jane was so welcoming and kind, she even left us some cakes to have on arrival, and packed us some to go on departure. Numerous stunning walks to do nearby, especially great if you have a pup with you. Would definitely return.

- Jovana, August 2020
David August 2020

“We had a great time, the cottages are ideally situated, and the peace and quiet is to be treasured.”

The owner, Jane is very friendly, and the holiday started with her home made cakes, on the table, when we arrived

- David, August 2020
Alison August 2019

“The cottage was lovely and a lovely warm welcome from Jane with some delicious cakes, tea & coffee waiting for us.”

Our dog wouldn’t go up and down the spiral staircase but as there were outside steps to upstairs lounge this wasn’t an issue

- Alison, August 2019
Fern June 2019

Kay December 2018

“This was a lovely Christmas Break.”

Jane the host was lovely, we had cakes and sausage rolls which were amazing upon arrival... Really couldn't fault a thing, we would recommend it to anyone. Chickens roaming around freely, lovely to see. Well located to get into Snowdonia or up onto Anglesey.. Topped off with a roaring log fire to curl up in front of during the dark winter evenings, for a Winter break we very much enjoyed it.

- Kay, December 2018
John September 2018

“A very pleasant stay at Hafod situated in the perfect and most convenient spot for almost every where.”

- John, September 2018
Barry July 2018

“Harold is a great cottage for a couple to take a quiet break.”

The cottage was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities that anyone could need. The only criticism is that it a short drive away from shops, pubs or restaurants but it is only a short drive

- Barry, July 2018
Maureen July 2018

“Brilliant cottage, upside down with downstairs bedroom.”

Facilities and welcome pack brilliant, cakes and biscuits lasted a few days. Great location to access Snowdonia, Anglesey and the coastal attractions. would recommend to anyone except disabled who could struggle, however there are other cottages on site on one level.

- Maureen, July 2018
Richard June 2018

“As an elderly couple, we found that there were some issues with the cottage which in our mind should be addressed.”

1. A non slip rubber mat should be provided for the bath. 2. A support handle should be fitted to assist in getting in and out of the bath. 3. Suggest that the entrance to the cottage should be updated by fitting small windows to allow fresh air into the sleeping area. 4. The fridge/freezer door needs attention. Where the rubber seal of the door engages with the fridge contact becomes unattached after a short period of time due to overheating of the door sill. Potential fire hazard. We did not see the caretaker/owner before our departure to pass on our findings, we would be grateful if you could do this on our behalf. Many thanks.

- Richard, June 2018
Andy April 2018

“Excellent value for money.”

A lovely cosy upside down cottage with all the facilities and a jacuzzi bath to help soothe aching limbs after climbing Snowdon. Perfectly located for either visiting Snowdonia Natonal Park or exploring nearby Bangor and Anglesey. Jane the owner had everything ready for us on our arrival, including some delicious home made cakes!

- Andy, April 2018
Dan March 2018

“Good location for hiking.”

Cosy cottage with a few perks like a Jacuzzi bath, very powerful shower, king size bed, big fire, washer, dryer, dishwasher, hair dryer, good pans, but lacking a good knife. Lambs at back door and cow's mooing in the evening giving a nice countryside experience. Really enjoyed our stay here.

- Dan, March 2018

Julie March 2018

“We enjoyed our stay at Hafod.”

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our self catering holiday and more. Great outdoor space to roam with dogs and Jane went over and above the welcome was warm and friendly and the sausage rolls andtea and cake really was the icing on the cake. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone and can't wait for our next visit.

- Julie, March 2018
Sarah February 2018

“We had a fantastic time over our 4 night stay.”

The bathroom was fully equpit, the jacuzzi bath was a massive plus. Kitchen and living room were also lovely and came with most things we needed. We needed to buy washing up liquid and sponges however but that wasn't a major issue. Even though it was a little cold at night, the cottage had loads of blankets and a thick quilt which kept us comfortable. Overall was a fantastic stay and we would happily return to Hafod again! Was the perfect couples retreat!
