Bwthyn yr Helyg (Willow Cottage)

If you want peace and quiet surrounded by nature this cottage is perfect for you.

The hosts were really friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that the velux windows to the upstairs bedrooms didn't have blinds so they were very bright and warm. Fitting black out blinds would be a massive improvement.

Lovely property in quiet location.

Super nice hosts. Ideal location as near to beaches. Porthmadog, Ffestiniog railway, Carnarfon etc.

Amazing cottage owners are friendly would definitely recommend and we will be back in the future thank you so much

A lovely stay at a lovely property with some amazing views.

My children had a great time and loved the play area.

The property was well kept and comfortable.

Very well equipped kitchen with everything you might need. Underfloor heating was great and kept us lovely and warm. Very helpful and friendly owners. We had a lovely break, thank you.

Lovely, peaceful place to stay, yet handy for nearby locations.

Very friendly hosts & the opportunity to practice speaking Welsh! We loved it. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

I would strongly recommend this venue.

It is a working small holding.The family are well known in the area , not least as the host puts articles on social media about biodiversity on their land. It is an excellent site from which to explore this beautiful peninsular. If you like nature, birdwatching, sea swimming, visiting ancient churches and monuments, varied geology and, landscape this is a brilliant place to be. It was for the poet R.S. Thomas.

We all had an amazing stay, great cottage!

Would recommend to anyone!

The owners are incredibly friendly but the cottage interior is very, very tired.

It's quite depressing when you're on holiday with the promise of a really nice place to stay, to get there and find kitchen cupboard doors are hanging off, there's a strange bit of collapsed floor in the kitchen covered by a rug, the toilet is leaking, the mouldy shower head is held on with gaffer tape and tie wraps, bathroom mirror is cracked, kitchen extractor has no buttons in it so none of it works. The place although accepting dogs, definitely smells of dog! I'm not sure the kitchen garden existed? It all seemed very idyllic but was disappointing. Someone needs to spend a week repainting, washing rugs, fixing broken items and giving the place a bit of TLC.

The cottage was truly fantastic, the location to explore sea and mountains was exceptional and the welcome provided by the owners was superlative.

I will be recommending this property to all who want to visit the wonderful Llyn Peninsula.

This is a beautifully sited property and the owners are lovely,.

My only observation is that it is getting ready for a refresh of decor and some of the internal facilities. It would also benefit from a how to cottage guide, like using the oven and TV and how to log into the WiFi. Also where best to visit in the local area, and if and when there are local markets etc, something I am used to finding in other holiday homes we have visited.

Friendly owners, nice gardens to rome and cosy cottage.

Wonderfu

Absolutely beautiful cottage, unfortunately we didn't have the weather to fully use all the facilities (Storm Dudley & Eunice) lovely surroundings & I can imagine in the better weather it would be gorgeous.

There's plenty to do in the area & with an hours drive you can reach so many places. We stayed in Willow cottage which was comfortable if getting to the point of needing updating, the shower door was off the rail, there were a couple of lights not working, just little trivial things, but overall very nice, we'll happily go back there & maybe take the other cottages as well for a large family holiday. The hosts are welcoming & when we had a problem with a toaster they were attentive & the issue was fixed straight away.

Really lovely location, people who run cottages where very welcoming, Only negitive was the road track to reach property only short but needs to be better maintained lots of potholes but still a fantastic break.

Very helpful owners who are on site,comfortable cottage set in a lovely area with good access to the North Welsh area and beautiful mountains.

Fantastic accommodation, clean and comfortable.

Surrounded by stunning scenery. Close to great facilities.

Really well equipped and homely accommodation with friendly hosts.

My second visit and I wasn’t disappointed. Thank you

The owners were lovely friendly people and knew lots of different places of interest to visit and our cottage was lovely,also for dog owners there is an enclosed field where our dogs would happily of spent the week.

Will definitely be returning

This cottage complex is fantanstic for young children I took my 3 & 4 year old grandsons and there was a specific play area as well as numerous bikes and ride ons.

The location is very rural and quiet with fantastic views.

We were welcomed on arrival by very friendly hosts. This is a very child-friendly place to stay as there is a play area and various outdoor toys are provided. The hosts have thought of everything, the accommodation was spotless, wish we had been able to stay for longer!

The kitchen is in need of an update, but it’s such a lovely place to go you can forgive it.

we had a relaxing few days the weather was perfect sitting out eating lunch in tea shirts in Feb ,it was so warm.

Ann and her family that own and run the cottages were lovely nothing was to much trouble . we will return.

a really nice cottage and setting

The location is excellent and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners was first class.

Friendly but not overbearing is a hard line to achieve and they did it. We were even lent a blender to do our soup with. The facilities were brilliant and the underfloor heating was a blessing when coming in from a brisk, windy walk. We wanted for nothing and having towels supplied was great. The children really enjoyed being on the park and the adults loved ... The silence. No sounds except for birds, sheep and the occasional dog bark. Coming from a city when you can hear traffic all the time it was a Godsend. Our only cons: The mezzanine floor is lovely, but we would recommend at least a heavy pair of curtains over it. Our boys had this room and they struggled to a- get to sleep and b- we woken by the light in the morning. Perhaps some new mattresses would be good... I din't struggle personally, but my daughter in the downstairs bedroom found it a little lumpy.

The location for us was well located for what we wanted to do in Northern Wales.

The facilities provided were very good and accommodating. We all had a great time.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week, the cottage & hosts were fabulous & made myself & my husband, my two boisterous boys & our little BT dog feel very welcome.

The scenery is beautiful with views over towards Abersoch & Snowdonia, we will definitely be back. Andrea Lewis
