Y Buarth

We love Y Buarth.

This was our second stay and we are just booking our third. Love the setting, the space inside and out, and the horses. Everything just works perfectly for us.

Lovely helpful owners.

Beautiful cottage , quiet and peaceful environment, amazing views. Central for many activities. Highly recommended .

Cottage was perfect for 4 adults, not too big but room enough to be comfortable

Lovely cottage, secluded but not far from shops/pubs, friendly owner

I love staying at this property.

It never disappoints. Beautiful location; beautiful, clean, comfortable, well appointed home; kind and caring owners, what more can I ask for? I can't wait to return.

A lovely property in a wonderful location.

The host could not have been more friendly or more helpful. The cottage was so peaceful and quiet, and the conservatory was a joy to sit in. The best bit was the incredible dark skies at night. This is a great place to stay - I would definitely recommend this property.

very good

Great place to stay!

the cottage is clean comparable and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners live next door and we’re there if we needed them but definitely not intrusive. The area is beautiful with a great pub in the village. And there are lots of lovely walks in the surrounding area. The garden was very secure for our dogs which meant we could relax when we were out in the garden. Overall a great holiday we would definitely recommend

Lovely cottage down a long track so very peaceful.

Horses and a pony in field nextdoor Handy spot for Snowdonia The bedrooms are quite small but as there were only 2 of us we used second bedroom as a dressing room. Shower is very small and a large person might struggle On the whole, we loved it.

Location beautiful, host friendly and helpful,accommodation is getting ready for updating

We stayed here for the weekend when we walked up Snowden.

It was lovely and peaceful. Lots of little extras like cooking oil, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid already there. Already re-booked to come back with the kids

Wonderful find.

Will definitely return

We loved staying there.

A perfect place for everyone, dogs, a small child, mum & grandma! Everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable. It was warm & we appreciated the basics that were provided, milk, loo rolls, kitchen supplies & even dog towels & poo bags. Thanks xxx

The cottage was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully situated.

The views and the horses were a delight, as was dozing on the sofa in the sunny conservatory, or spending cosy evenings by the log burner. Paul was friendly, but unobtrusive.

This cottage is the perfect choice for a quiet tranquil holiday Warm welcoming unobtrusive hosts, coupled with three horses whatmkee can one want

This was our fourth or fifth visit, we love the area and are always delighted to return to Y Buarth.

The cottage has everything we need and indeed want. Set in a stunning, peaceful area. Owners readily available for any queries and are welcoming. We will be back!

Another lovely stay in this peaceful cottage.

We were pleased to see our previous comments of a poker for the fire and side / coffee tables had been acted upon so swiftly. Hope to return again.

An amazing property in an amazing location.

If you want stunning views and have right on the doorstep both mountains and the sea then this is the right place. You can drive 20 minutes east to get to Llanberis and 20 minutes west to Caernarfon for the town, the castle and the beaches. The cottage itself has everything you need (although some kitchen scales could be a useful addition) Paul was really helpful when we arrived and showed us where everything was and how to manage the heating system. We were here for a very cold weekend and the log burner was an added bonus. There is plenty of room for 4 people and lots of space for your dogs to run and play. The back garden is secure if you have bigger dogs, but if your dogs are smaller then you will need to keep an eye on them or keep them on a lead.

Lovely cosy cottage but plenty of room for 4 adults and a dog.

Very peaceful setting. Easy access to a wide selection of activities, a nice area to visit. Owners on site if needed, warm welcome but not obtrusive. We all relaxed and enjoyed meeting the horses. Have already rebooked a longer stay. everything we needed in the kitchen and beds were super comfy. A real gem.

A fantastic property in a stunning location.

This was my 3rd stay there and it delivers every time. The property is comfortable, warm and has everything you need. The owners are really helpful and kind. They gave me loads of advice before my visit in terms of things I could do with my sister. I love the animals there as well. I hope to return to this property next year. Imy sister and I had a wonderful time.

Everything was just perfect.

I very much hope that I will be back again next year.

had a lovely stay here, owners were really friendly and helpful, they live next door but were not intrusive, was nice chatting to them about the area etc.

LOVED Bella the pony in the paddock next to the cottage and tramp the cob horse in one next to that. Great cottage, everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is now a new comfy fabric corner sofa in the conservatory and the brown sofa seen in current photos of the conservatory is now in the lounge area replacing the bar stools by breakfast bar. we loved our stay, the only comment/recommendation I would make is maybe get some new pillows as the ones had a slight greasy hair smell, but I just bought myself some to use as I needed new ones at homes anyway. The tv worked perfectly fine for us after I realised the first day that the cable had worked lose at the back of the tv once I moved the bracket arm. Wifi and phone signal were good, in fact better than we have at home. Nice to hear the Steam trains going past and the sound of the river was relaxing. Would return again in the future without a doubt if we come back to the area. great location to visit all the places in North wales we wanted to visit. Was nice and rural without being remote. great secure garden for our dog.

Lovely accommodation in a rural setting but a great base for exploring the surrounding areas and Anglesey.

The accommodation was well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. I loved the big comfy corner sofa in the conservatory, which was lovely to relax after a long day exploring.(it’s a new sofa that isn’t in the photos) The enclosed garden was great for our dogs. The bed was huge and comfy for a good nights sleep (but needs more pillows). The heating was good for chilly mornings, even though we went the first week in September. We didn’t need to use the log Burner but the storage heaters were great. The only downside was the tv, it only had apps, not freeview. Overall a lovely place to stay and friendly host, who was there if you needed help with anything but not intrusive.

We enjoyed our stay very much, lovely warm welcome from Paul.

The mattresses could be improved, otherwise all good. Loved the conservatory and the view across to the hill.

We had a lovely stay at Y Buarth.

The enclosed garden was very welcome for our 2 dogs and they especially loved meeting the horses in the field next door! The owners were very friendly and welcoming and it was in a good location to explore the local area.

Lovely property, friendly helpful owner, great location.

This was our 2nd visit and I'm sure we'll be back.

every thing first class

We have been coming here for many years now and find the cottage has everything we require for a home from home stay.

Paul is on hand if required and the whole stay is relaxing and very comfortable and easy, especially with dogs and enclosed garden. The peace and quiet and location are ideal for venturing north south east or west . The facilities ensure everything you require is available - electric arga , dishwasher , washing machine , shower or bath, wood burner, private garden all included.

A very comfortable cottage.

Friendly owners. Very secluded for a truly peaceful stay. Just a few minutes drive to mountains, forest and beach. Can't fault the stay. Would recommend it to anyone.

We had a wonderful 7 night stay with our dog at Y Buarth.

The property is comfortable and peaceful. The hosts Karen and Paul checked we had everything we needed on arrival and then left us to settle in. The scenery is lovely and the horse and pony in the next field a bonus. We enjoyed feeding them carrots and apples. The property is conveniently related to nearby attractions. We hope and plan to return to Y Buarth. Lynda, Bill and Bridget

Very impressed with this cottage.

Lovely location near main road but in a peaceful setting. Clean and warm with great WiFi, cooker and hosts. Hoping to return again soon!

The cottage was exactly as described, cosy, welcoming and well equipped.

It was good to meet the owner and know he was nearby. Thoroughly recommended!

Beautiful well presented and equipped cottage, owners are very welcoming and helpful.

Will defo be booking for the same place again. We had a fantastic holiday. Thank you

I have known the existence of this holiday cottage for years and wanted to stay largely due to many positive reviews.

Initial reactions on being shown in by the owner were good. Spacious and warm and clean. I think what stuck in my mind was seeing pictures of an Aga and reading comments from previous holiday makers about the lovely warmth it gave. It's been replaced by a very lovely electric range which is only warm whilst in use. The night storage heaters are not adequate for such an old stone dwelling and several were not working at all. A little kindling and wood is provided but would only be sufficient for up to two short evenings. After that you have to buy your own logs which we were reluctant to do for several reasons. Basic warmth and continual ongoing warmth should be included at the owners expense. The en suite bedroom smells of damp (from the shower) and there's a lot of damp in the conservatory. We weren't really able to use the conservatory due to the very wet and windy weather which was a shame as the sofa in there is more comfortable than the one in the living room. Overall it wasn't a bad holiday and the place is ok overall. We have stayed in far better and worse. In the summer months it might be very different. With the patio doors in the big bedroom flung open and the conservatory ones it would be lovely in sunny weather.

Lovely place to stay for exploring North Wales, especially Anglesey.

We wanted somewhere quiet enough for our dogs over New Year’s and this was ideal and just as described, we didn’t hear any fireworks at all. Spacious property with lovely kitchen space and log burner. New sofa in conservatory (very comfy) and in living area - not shown in listing photos. Warm and comfortable rooms. Ideal space for dogs to roam in the back. A couple of minor hygiene issues but nothing that impacted our stay. Thank you for having us!

Y Buarth is a lovely, cosy, well maintained cottage in beautiful surroundings and excellently placed for towns, nature reserves and walks.

The pictures simply do not do it justice, it by far exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed and more, and the owners and their family are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We loved that you can go through a gate in the garden, into a field which leads down to the river. It is truly beautiful and peaceful down there. In the field are two friendly rescue horses who love carrots and the owners also have rescue dogs and cats who are gorgeous. We had the best week ever and will definitely be returning. We cannot recommend Y Buarth enough.

Putting it quite simply, Y Buarth was just perfect.

It was clean and comfortable, the owners were wonderful and I am just awaiting confirmation of my leave for next year so that I can book Y Buarth again.

This is a firm favourite location, we love the area, but equally love the cottage and it’s its location.

From the moment you meet the owners, you are confident they want you to have the best possible holiday and you would only have to ask, and they would help. Big thank you!

on arrival it was a cold day The cold cottage had a log fire with only 3 small logs to use so I had to go out to the shop to buy logs.

but did not heat bedrooms up because heaters in bedrooms did not work mother had to go to bed with coat on because of cold and she has arthritis.seating in living area not very comfortable to low and hard cushions to sit on.paul owner text to say speak to daughter if have problems because he was not there but she avoided us did not want to speak. a man turned up with his case saying he had rented the cottage and we had to explane to him that we were not due to leave untill following day. Also mould was present in the shower room The only conversation we had was with the man who turned up with his suitcase I think we will stick to staying in caravans and leave cottages alone.

Great place for a quiet break.

Very friendly & helpful host who lives next to the property, but never intruded on our holiday. The conservatory is a welcome addition to the property. The location of the property is at the end of a private lane, thus very quiet and off the beaten track. Facilities are good although the bedroom got quite chilly and could do with some form of heating. All in all highly recommended.

It was a beautiful cottage in the lanes of Waunfawr.

We were not disturbed by the owners who lived next door but if we needed anything they were very helpful and polite. The location was just outside of the village and it was very quiet and peaceful. The garden was dog friendly and backed on to a field with 2 horses in it. The horses were not disturbed by the dog. As my husband is older the seats in the lounge were too low for him to get in and out of so we spent most of our time in the conservatory. One of the blinds were broken and I advised the owner who already knew and said he was going to mend. The last 2 comments did not detract from a lovely & comfortable cottage.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

The accommodation was perfect, facilities were great and in such a stunning location. It was great to allow our dog to play outside in a safe enclosed garden. We hope to be back soon, thank you

We come back year after year because this cottage has everything for a super Welsh holiday

Third visit, beautiful location.

Thank you for sharing it! We have already booked our next visit.

We stayed in a converted barn which was well laid out with plenty of light due to several skylights.

The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of storage for our clothes etc. There was an ensuite shower and loo plus a family bathroom with a hand held shower over the tub. And plenty of hot water. The views were lovely as were the two ponies, dogs and cats. There was a terrace which we used daily just to chill and enjoy the views. Our hosts were very friendly and chatty without being intrusive. All in all a perfect holiday for us and we will definitely be booking another stay. Thank you Paul and Karen for a lovely time.

Just back from a fabulous week at Y Buarth.

Roomy, very clean and comfortable (really comfy bed!) - everything needed to make the holiday a delight. Perfect garden and field with stream for the dog -hard to find this much room for a GSD. Centrally located for all we wanted to do. Now to convince the OH to re-book.

Fabulous 4 Days in Fabulous accommodation.

. Everything we could have hoped for… We will be back …

Loved our stay.

Quiet location, friendly horses in the field besides the garden, relaxing sound of the river flowing nearby. The cottage owners were kind enough to put the heating on before we arrived, very welcoming. Clean and plenty of towels and pillows. Beds were comfortable. Enough wood for an evening around the furnace. Slight issue with the kitchen sink hot tap, the pressure was quite poor and it took quite some time to heat up. Also, some of the lamps' lightbulbs needed changing. I want to thank the owners for posting back my remote control (that I left at the cottage), a very kind gesture indeed! If ever we're in North Wales we'd happily stay again. All the best.

What a wonderful place to stay and relax Everything you need is catered for Owners so friendly and knowledgeable about the area and places to go Would defiantly highly recommend and would love to stay again Thanks so much

Fabulous little cottage with everything you need to keep you comfortable, great access for walks up snowdon and the surrounding area.

Shop with in walking distance with good selection, also pub within walking distance. Depending on time of year though, it may not be open which I found out. Owners there to welcome and explain how to use things in the cottage. Would definitely recommend and will be returning, thank you.

A lovely, comfortable cottage with everything we needed for the time we stayed.

Quiet and a lovely place to stay in the hills of Wales. Diolch!

Beautiful cottage, very cosy and comfortable.

The owner was there to greet us. He was very helpful, showing us around and explaining how the aga worked. Great surrounds very peaceful. Would love to go back sometime.

A nice quiet area but handy for all local areas.

Safe area for the dogs. Arga lovely and warm. Cottage roomy and comfortable, hosts very friendly. Would stay again.

What a beautiful place to have a holiday.

We absolutely loved it there. The peace and quiet and all the beautiful views are amazing. Loved having the horses in the field and walking the dogs to the stream at the bottom of the field. The bungalow is so cosy and warm. It was fun using the Aga (never had so many hot drinks) ;) Paul and Karen are extremely friendly and makes you feel welcome as soon as you arrive. The week went far to fast as we really didn't want to leave.. We will definitely be back as soon as we can... Thank you..

Exactly what we expected, The cottage totally met our expectations in both Cleanliness and comfort.

Ideally placed for all the major locations , Zip world, Snowdon and the coast.

Really enjoyed our stay.

It's nice and quiet with a dog secure area and plenty of fields to take the dog for walks. The area is isolated enough to be peaceful yet close enough to places like Caernarfon and Bangor if anything is needed. Be aware that if using an Electric car that the charger infrastructure in N Wales is very poor, you may have to travel to Bangor or even Holyhead to get a rapid charge, there are more coming online however.

Y Buarth is a wonderful place to stay.

Very cosy, comfortable and well equipped, in a fantastic location from which to explore the area. The garden is lovely and perfect for dogs, safe, enclosed and lots to sniff! We thoroughly enjoyed our week here.

We all really enjoyed our stay.

It's ideally situated for visiting numerous locations. It can get very warm with the Aga, could possibly be too warm in summer. However we would definitely recommend and return.

Excellent accommodation.

Very quite and peaceful yet close to all the attractions. Comfy bed, slept well. Everything you need is there. The arga keeps the cottage very warm no need to use the log burner. Owners are on hand if you need anything, Paul and Karen. Would definitely book again. Excellent value for money.

We all enjoyed our stay at Y Buarth.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owners are pleasant, friendly and very helpful. We had a problem with our vehicle on the last day and the owner couldn't have been kinder or more understanding, which relieved the stressful situation no end. The cottage location was perfect for the type of holiday we wanted, relaxing but within easy reach of local attractions. My daughter and her partner are hoping to book again and take their teenage children next time!

No issues, loved it.

Aga made whole living area so cosy we didn't get to light the fire!

Great property, larger than expected.

Aga VERY simple to use! Very friendly hosts, explained everything as soon as we arrived. Great communication leading up to our stay too. Loved our Christmas break here and will definitely stay again. Thank you

Great location, 10 mins from beach, 10 mins from snowdon and larger villages, well hidden, nice owners.

Very well equipped - literally everything you need. We'll come back

Lovely cottage and thoughtful, friendly owners.

Thank you

This was as described and the aga created cosy home to come back to on wet days.

Owners friendly and v helpful and prompt if any problem arose.

We had a friendly welcome and lovely stay in Y Buarth.

The cottage was lovely and warm all the time and there was everything we needed for the week. The dogs liked the garden and being able to explore the field also. Thank you for your great hospitality throughout our stay.

We loved the area and were it was situated.

It met all our needs. It was a shame we never got to meet the owners who lived next door as they were away but we did chat on the phone, and could contact them if any problems. So beautiful and warm . Loved the Aga. Would definitely go there again

Second time staying at this property.

Simply love it! Beautiful property, well appointed with and enclosed garden, ample parking and gorgeous views. Brilliant location to explore Snowdonia whether walking, biking or driving. Fantastic place to stay with brilliant hosts.

A lovely cottage situated down a long lane off the main road.

Very warm and cosy due to the AGA which was wonderful to return to after a long walk. Nice enclosed garden for our little dogs and a very private, sunny terrace at the back of the cottage. Fantastic location close to the beautiful historic town of Caernarfon. Lovely beaches and forrest walks not too far away .... Newborough a must. Paul the host could not have been more helpful.

Excellent warm & cosy cottage finally reached by a long & slightly rough track.

Don’t be put off by the Aga it was so easy. Within close reach of Snowdonias best bits.

This was a great time away visiting North Wales.

The cottage was great, everything you need plus the AGA which added to the experience. Very close to Caernarfon, about 10mins drive to access any shop you need plus visiting the joys of Caernarfon itself. We managed to squeeze a lot into our 7 day break including two steam train rides, Copper mine, Slate museum and not forgetting a day to climb Snowden itself. Highly recommended cottage and area. The owner Paul was also great, very welcoming and respected your privacy. 10/10

very good area for exploring snowdonia and coast outlook from cottage wonderfull

This is such a welcoming, comfortable, well-equipped and cosy place to stay.

The owners are very friendly and helpful as are their cute dogs and horses. I just loved sitting in the sun room looking over the fields and hills. Plus there is a generous, enclosed garden to enjoy. Loads to do and see plus outdoor activities to enjoy or challenge you. A place to return to.

The owner is so helpful and friendly it is a wonderful place to stay and is so peaceful l would have no hesitation to book again

Ideal place to explore Snowdonia and Anglesey.

Nice and quite away from the crowds

Brilliant hosts with great attention to details.

Well appointed, comfortable property in a great peaceful location. The perfect property and location whether you enjoy walking, cycling or simply relaxing down the beach. Loved it!

nice cottage very peaceful , like the animals .

Lovely well-equipped cottage, ideal for elderly couple, being all on one level.

Very comfortable and spacious, in a quiet rural location, with easy access to the whole of the north-eastern corner of Wales. The only problem we had was the unusually high heat and humidity in mid-August 2020, which was made even more unbearable due to the constant heat generated by the AGA cooker in the kitchen/living room, which couldn't be turned off.

Everything was lovely.

Location was great. Very close to many attractions yet very secluded.ldeal for nature enthusiasts. Very friendly hosts. Beds were huge and extremely comfortable. Perfect place for your next mountain adventure.

The location of the cottage is perfect.

It is less than 20 minutes drive to Llanberis, where there is so much to do and see. Perfect location for snowdon hiking as well. Shopping and beach is close also. The cottage itself is comfortable. Spectacular views from conservatory and garden, Paul is helpful and friendly. Overall very much enjoyed our stay, highly recommended.
