“We have just come back from a wonderful week away in this beautiful cottage.”

The surroundings and the views are amazing. The track up is very narrow but if you take it steady we had no problems. The cottage itself had everything you need, kitchen well stocked, clean bathroom, cupboards for storage. The owners were next door and available if needed and were very helpful and kind. The place had a huge amount of land and garden space, totally terrier proof with sheep and cows just through the fencing. Our Patterdale who normally is very interested in sheep couldn't care less after 24 hours! Beaches are nearby, I'd recommend Criccieth, quieter and huge stretches dog friendly. Black rock was busy and a lot of cars on the beach. Tesco was 2 miles away, in Porthmadog with all local amenities too. We visited Glasfryn Parc where our 8yr old enjoyed go-karting, kayaking and archery. There are castles close by too. We took the Mountain Prince train ride for an afternoon, private compartment which was dog friendly! Brilliant time. We will definitely come back to this property. I was very sad to leave. We miss the views, the garden, the tranquility, but perhaps most of all the friendly dog Toffee who lived next door who managed to tame our Patterdale and become part of the holiday experience for us too!

Mrs Ataei June 2021

“We loved the cottage!”

The peace, fresh air and walks straight from the door were a real highlight. Must say we were initially a little daunted by the track leading up the property - possibly because it was late and we'd had a long drive - but it was absolutely fine for the average car. The cottage itself was charming - beautifully presented, clean and with fast internet (helpful for uploading the countless photographs I took of the amazing scenery!). Highly recommended.

“We had the best time in this beautiful home away from home.”

The conversion of this old barn has been done with great attention to detail. The house disappears in its beautiful surroundings, the hills, the mountains and the fields full of sheep and little lambs in the spring. Inside, the space has been tastefully decorated and every room is comfortable, convenient and cosy. Outside we were lucky enough to have amazing weather which gave us a chance to enjoy fully the outdoor table and enjoy the magnificent views as much as we could. We met housecarer Jon who was super friendly and very helpful. This house is also very well situated to discover the surroundings, perfectly positioned between PorthMadog and Criccieth, with lots of eating options, even in Covid times. We discovered the Llyn peninsula and Snowdonia National Park and we definitely will be coming back!

“Perfect Location, amazing house to relax and admire the views.”

Mr Nicholls May 2019

“PLUS: Lovely cottage with perfect seclusion and plenty of doorstep walks.”

Also, the garden was huge with fabulous views and perfectly private and suitable for a dog. MINUS: An anti-slip bath mat should be provided for the shower. Vital. That's the only thing.

“Lovely barn conversion with sheep for neighbours.”

Quiet, cosy, well equipped and comfortable inside, with sea views from the garden and upstairs bedroom. The drive from the road up to the house looks daunting but is manageable if taken steadily, and if the sheep move! Porthmadog, Criccieth and the surrounding area are beautiful.

- Roger Wood, Oct 2017

“The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful setting and conveniently situated for all the fabulous beaches of the Llyn Penisula.”

The gardens were lovely with great views - although we couldn't make the most of them due to the weather! Great walk to Borth-Y-Gest straight from the door and just a five minute drive into Porthmadog for supplies.

Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
