Bwthyn Ger Afon (Riverplace Cottage)

Lovely cottage wonderful setting

Great place lovely experience ten out of ten, owners made it magic with welcome gifts.

A wonderful place to stay, peaceful, comfortable and with lots of lovely extras that make a holiday very special.

The perfect base for touring the many country houses & pretty little villages. Follow the path up the mountain behind the cottage to find a lake & amazing views. The Blaenau Ffestiniog railway runs behind the cottage and is well worth a trip. Another 5* cottage for Sykes!!

Lovely cottage, great location to explore Snowdonia, nice personal touches on arrival, would definitely return 1 day

Lovely and quiet cottage clean and tidy and the Welcome gifts were lovely Angie and Rich were lovely and helpful too the sceney and walks around the cottage were lovely and a good base to stay to get to go around North Wales .

Hope to come back in the future.

Very cozy and lovely equipped house in a beautiful calm area, perfect for hiking, many possibilities straight from the house without driving.

Our two dogs also felt very well.

Definitely a home from home .

When arriving thought it was someones home. Lights on ...flowers in window...so pretty. Ideal location to explore Snowdonia. AProper Welsh village with shops for supplies.Riverside setting pretty, parking easy outside the prorperty.The welcome pack was lovely and treats for the dogs also a lovely touch .The owners were at end of phone for any help needed .In the words of Arnie....I will be back .

The cottage is beautiful and cosy.

The owners thought of everything even the dogs got a welcome pack with treats and blankets. We had a lovely welcome pack which we loved. The neighbours were lovely and friendly. The cottage is ideally situated if you travel by car but there are wonderful walks as well I can't recommend it enough I would go back today. Good luck to future guests your in for a treat.

A small cottage but perfectly formed, the attention to detail from the dog blankets and treats to the pillow mist and handmade soaps made for a luxurious and relaxing stay.

The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed and the owners could not have been more accommodating. Plenty of hot water and fuel for the wood burner which was needed as we had heavy snow and sub zero temperatures. My only quibble and it is a minor one is that the settees were not as comfortable as I would have liked however the bed made up for this . A beautiful setting with walks right from the front door hope to return x

The cottage was a perfect home away from home for us and our dog.

It's in a really convenient location for exploring Snowdonia and there are several walks from the door which is also great. The cottage had everything we needed and we would highly recommend it!

Amazing property perfect for a relaxing weekend!

Angie and Rich were really friendly and accommodating. The cottage was very homely and the bed was super comfy. I’m currently looking at when I can next come and stay!

What a superb find!

Perfectly located for access to the western hills (great to walk straight from the door) and to explore further afield. Cottage is immaculate and well furnished; the bedroom is a delight, and it is obvious a lot of thought went into the interior design. Add to that the attention to detail for supplies left by the owners for your visit and it makes for the perfect place to relax.

This is a gem of a cottage, absolutely ideal for couples - especially if they have a fur baby like us!

Clean, cosy and really homely with lots of little extras provided. The location is perfect, easily accessible and in a really pretty area with lots of walks from the door. We would love to return at some point!

We loved our stay, there was everything we needed plus a few extras from owners.

Beautiful surroundings. Would definitely recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week in a lovely cottage.

Great location for exploring Snowdonia and the seaside. Lots of great walks from the cottage, such as the ruined slate quarries at Cwmorthin and Rhosydd. The cottage itself was clean, cosy and very well equipped. A nice touch was the welcoming pack from the owners.

Slightly smaller than what we are used to, and toilet not being on the same floor as bedroom meant not full marks for comfort, though the brochure did describe this.

Loved the welcome treats that the owner left for us, very well-equipped cottage.

Great location lovely and quiet.

So dark an quiet on a night, Great location for walking.Nice seating on front.Thanks for all the extras.

Cosy cottage in a beautiful area, with excellent walks nearby.

Charming little cottage close to everything you would need, peaceful location and equipped to provide a home from home.

Highly recommended

Lovely cottage, comfortable and well presented by the owners.

Ideally located for exploring the local area and beyond.

We loved our stay at this cottage!

From the moment we walked into the house to find all of the little extra’s the owners had left us. Its location really is good as well, you don't have far to drive to many of the places to visit around you (Porthmadog, Harlech, Criccieth & Beddgelert all within 30 minutes) We would certainly recommend staying here if you want to explore North Wales or even just for a relaxing get a way!

The cottage was even better than the listing did it justice.

A beautiful cottage, in a beautiful location and a great base to get to numerous sites. It was extremely clean and had everything you would need. There was a bottle of wine and biscuits left for us and some biscuits and blankets for the dogs. They had even thought of essentials. Lightbulbs, batteries, torch, salt, pepper, cooking spray, tin foil, cleaning items, the list goes on. The owners went above and beyond, anywhere else, I have stayed. They even provided details of local places to visit/eat, telephone numbers and also where to get food etc. The cottage had been laid out well. It felt spacious even though alot had to be fitted in. There were even DVDs and books for you to use. The bedroom was especially beautiful. Chocolates and even sleep spray had been left as a gift The bedding was high quality, as was the mattress. Highly recommend you visit. I will definitely be returning.

Great location , lovely cottage well kept and presented , good facilities, very comfortable stay Excellent communication from owners

A lovely cosy, comfortable home from home cottage, with thoughtful extra touches for both us & our dog.

Great location for exploring the Snowdonia area & further a field. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic holiday , the owners have really thought of everything .

Definitely will be back . Loved all the small extras and home touches . Dogs felt very much at home . The location is definitely one of the best as it is central to the whole of snowdonia , meaning everything is at your doorstep. Will definitely book again

We were drawn to your cottage by the positive reviews of others who had stayed there and we were not disappointed.

Thank you for all the lovely treats and thoughtful touches that showed you take great care in making this little place as cosy as possible. We found the location to be very practical and well placed for exploring the area in general; I’m certain we will visit again in the near future and stay a bit longer. Mark & Judy

Lovely little cottage down a very quiet lane.

Very clean and had everything we needed. Really close to lovely walks and Black Rock Sands just a short drive away which is a great beach for dogs. Thank you so much for the little extras.

We had a lovely break in this gorgeous cottage, with plenty of facilities, a lovely wood burner.

A very roomy bed room, a well equipped kitchen. There were lots of lovely goodies around the cottage for both our selves and Oscar a four legged friend. The weather was not the best to enable us to sit outside but outside seating both back and front. A very quite location. Totally recommend the accommodation, there is a lovely lakeside cafe a few minutes walk away. An ideal spot for both local walks and a base for other local destinations.

We had a fabulous time!

Thank you so much. The cottage was warm and cosy and had everything we needed. We will back soon I hope.

Wonderful cosy cottage with everything you would need for a home from home holiday experience.

Easily placed for exploring the whole of Snowdonia, Anglesey and much more. The local shops stock all the essentials too. Angie and Rich were on hand should we need them, but the cottage was perfect and the little welcoming touches made such a difference. Brilliant for dogs too, they even got their own goodies too! Came back totally relaxed. Would highly recommend and will visit again.

The cottage was brilliant, the owners had truly thought of everything!

It was cosy and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay there. There was so much within easy reach of the cottage and we loved exploring the area.

The host's Angie and Rich have created a wonderful home from home.

The cottage is one of the nicest I've stayed in. The decor and furniture are of a very high standard. Lot's of treats left for us and our dog on arrival which was very kind and the milk was very thoughtful. Very well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The shower was very powerful and the bed extremely comfortable. Ample walks from the doorstep and short car journeys to the beaches at Porthmadog and Criccieth. Close to Mt. Snowden and Betws y Coed. We had a wonderful week of walking and climbing in glorious sunshine. We will definitely be returning and can highly recommend staying at the cottage.

We had fab time the place is perfect

Fantastic place ,well situated.

Everything was supplied in Cottage with unexpected extras left by owner.

Very clean the little touches like sanitiser wipes dog blankets much appreciated the cottage was very quiet peaceful comfortable just what we wanted

Great cottage in an amazing location.

Ideal for walking in surrounding area and within short distance of many brilliant historical places .

The cottage was really comfortable and a really special place for a couple to enjoy.

Everything was supplied and the owner had left contact details should there be any questions or anything else we required which was really appreciated. The village was tranquil with lots of lovely walks around and only 1 1/2 mile walk to the nearest town. I would highly recommend this property, cozy wee lounge, big spacious bedroom, outdoor space both back and front, a place to enjoy

Great location and a splendid and quaint little cottage.

The owners went above and beyond their hospitality with the gifts that was left for us

The perfect cottage to stay in to explore North Wales.

The owners have thought of everything, it was a proper home from home.

Perfect little cottage.

Cleanliness and little extras provided by owners are 1st class.

This was the best equipped holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

The welcome pack was excellent and the spices and general cooking extras were very much appreciated. Angie (the owner) seems to have thought of everything from boxes of tissues all over the place to a very well produced visitors information book. Everything about this cottage says its owners know what they are doing when it come to holiday lets. The cottage is wonderfully situated for exploring the Snowdonia area and the North Wales coast. Eating out is really good with many different place to dine and if you live in the 'rip off' South East you will find the prices very reasonable. Thank you Angie and Rich.

Definately recommend this deluxe comfortable and quiet cottage in a beautiful location within easy reach of all Snowdonias mountains and coastal areas.

This lovely comfy clean cottage is a little a gem, a great base for exploring Snowdonia.

A warm welcome pack was left by the owners for ourselves and the dog! Angie and Rich thought of everything down to the bottle of wine and dog treats to the chocolates left on the pillows.

This is our 5th Sykes cottage, and by far the best!

Every thing you need is provided, even down to sandwich bags for your picnic! A beautiful cottage in a lovely scenic area, where no expense has been spared, we’ll definitely be back!

I've stayed in this cottage on more than one occasion and can really recommend it.

The small touches in the welcome pack are wonderful as is the attention to detail.

Lovely cottage ,lovely area,we had great weather which was a bonus,great area for exploring ,particularly loved Harlech castle and beautiful beach,and the magical portmeirion ,unfortunately had to cut our visit short (family berievment) but will definitely be back to the lovely river place cottage

Excellent cottage - very home from home feel.

Plenty of room for 2 people and 2 dogs. On 1 occasion were couldn't park our car as the parking spaces were all taken and you cannot park directly in front of the cottage as you would block the road. To be honest this wasn't really a problem for us. Its located in a beautiful area with plenty to see.

A great little cottage for two people; cosy, comfortable and charming with lots of character.

Superb welcome pack upon arrival! Lots of useful information about the local area made planing our week very simple. We will be back.

Cottage was in a great location for touring Snowdonia and the coast.

Details on website were accurate so no disappointments. Owners left drinks and snacks as a welcome - this gesture was appreciated. Large comfortable bed so ideal for great rest after an active day in hills. Would use this again without hesitation.

We had the most wonderful time staying at Bwthyn Ger Afon.

It is a lovely cottage; beautifully furnished and very stylish. The multi-fuel burner is a great advantage making the cottage cosy and warm. It is clean, comfortable and welcoming. The owners have thought of everything - a wonderful welcome pack including fuel for the fir and there are lots of extras including tea towels, washing up liquid, good local information book, books, games, dvds and even lavender spray for our pillows. The cottage is well placed for great walks or a short drive from other glorious places to visit. We felt welcomed and believe this to be one of the best cottages we have stayed in due to the attention to detail and comfort. We shall return.

The cottage was just perfect and the location ideal for all we wanted to do.

Considering we only decided the day before to visit wales and stay in a cottage, it all was sorted quickly and with no problems. Angie the owner was most helpful and left essentials and gifts of wine and chocolate .. a lovely touch.

This was the perfect cottage, in a perfect secluded location, very clean and everything we needed was there - including wooden chopping boards and sharp knives!

The wood/coal burner worked a treat to make a very cosy ambiance. We loved it and would return in a flash. Thank you.

A quiet little cottage with walks nearby.

The welcome pack was gratefully received. Cafe and Station a few minutes walk away and Blaenau Ffestiniog a 20 minute walk where there are shops and cafes.

very considerate hosts ensuring many extras that most top grade hotels would not provide.

location was excellent and the cottage perfect for our needs.

Gorgeous little cottage for two, perfect base for exploring the beautiful rivers, beaches, waterfalls and mountains of Snowdonia.

With a welcoming homely feel, the cottage is comfortable, beautifully decorated and has all those extras not necessarily expected from a self catering holiday home.

Lovely clean cottage.

Great for using as a base. Dog blanket, treats and poo bags provided which was wonderful. Lovely walks and a great cafe close by. Fantastic scenery. Would love to return again soon.

A very comfortable & lovely cottage that we have been to before.

The owner gives extra little things to the home which makes it just that,a home!

The cottage was lovely, clean and cosy.

The guest information was extremely good and very detailed telling us important and interesting things about the cottage and places to visit in the area. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could want with tea, coffee etc all provided. We had been left milk, wine, crisps and cake which was a lovely thought and most welcome after a long journey. Treats had also been left for our dog which he enjoyed. There are numerous walks in the locality and many places to go where you can sight see or walk.

A very pleasant comfortable cottage and a very enjoyable holiday

Tranquil surroundings, plenty of walks for all ages and capabilities.

Car required to appreciate all available in the area. Nearest supermarket is a drive away but provides everything you need.

An excellent cottage, thoughtfully provided with anything the guests might need.

The cottage we stopped in was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, everything we needed was provided and more, including treats for the dogs, and a bottle of wine for me!

There 8 days 5 of them terrible but my wife trapped a nerve in her back and I had to bring her home for medical care.

We will come back to finish what we did,nt see and to the same cottage it was outstanding and owner was so helpful. Richard Gray

The fourth time I've stayed at this lovely cottage and as always I found it extremely welcoming and comfortable.

A stunning welcome with such thoughtful items in the cottage and lovely treats left for us.

Everything was perfect. We loved the cottage and how comfortable and cosy we were. Will be highly recommending.

The property is secure for the dog in the front and the back gardens.

Good walking straight from the door. The owners Angie and Rich are available if required but are not intrusive.

A lovely cosy cottage.

Very well equipped For a comfortable stay and dog friendly.

The cottage and location great.

Cottage very cosy and very well equipped. Lots of great walks around. Had a wonderful week.
