Garth Morthin The Barn

We had a fantastic stay here, would highly recommend.

One of the best places we’ve stayed at, thank you!

This was our second stay at The Barn,the first time being roughly 9 years ago.

The fact that we returned shows that we were very happy with the property the 1st time round.We were not disappointed as everything was just as we remembered it to be. The comfort and serenity of the place was very important to us and the views through the bi-fold doors are fantastic. We made good use of the games room which was wonderful. If I was to be critical about any aspect of The Barn,I would mention just a couple of things. Firstly wear and tear has taken its toll on the grouting between the slate floor tiles and some re-grouting is required. Secondly,one of our party dropped a battery which rolled under one of the beds and whilst we were able to get it back easily,it was noticeable that there was a build up of dust under the bed so perhaps a more thorough clean is needed from time to time.None of this would prevent my family from visiting again.

Brilliant cottage and private garden with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and hills.

Plenty of room for six people and two dogs. The kitchen had everything you could need and double sized fridge and freezer to stock up. The only downside was the smaller twin rooms were very hot at night for sleeping but we did have a heatwave for the whole of our stay so not surprising. Might be handy to have a couple of fans for such occasions. Overall we had a wonderful holiday.

The property was incredible, very nicely furnished and great surroundings.

Stunning location with panoramic views.

Lovely spacious cottage, and well equipped. Fully enclosed garden, which was great. Lovely to see all the sheep and cows so close over the fence line. The games room was the icing on the cake as we could all have some competitive fun

Loved it This was our first time at The Barn having stayed at the other 2 properties a number of times, All 3 properties are fantastic but having a dog, the enclosed garden made it so much more relaxing and would be our first choice with future bookings if available,

Stayed here last year,I gave it a 5

It was the perfect house for a family get together for 8 adults, 1 toddler and two dogs.

The house has everything you need and more. It is set in a beautiful location with stunning views.The games room is an added bonus. We will definitley be visiting again.

Great location with fantastic views and overall beautifuly created, but it needs a bit of TLC.

The downstairs shower has grout missing from between 2 tiles. The downstairs toiliet window has signs of mold in the top right corner. There were cobwebs and spiders in every room and the floors looked like they hadn't been washed for a while and all the corners of the floors had a build up of muck. There are only 7 bowls (should be at least 8). The blind at the kitchen sink window is covered in mess (basically the whole place needs a really deep clean and considering this is the beginning of the season what will it be like by the end of it). One of the larger saucepans (copper bottom with a large bolge in it) does not work on the cooker, this took some time to figure out on the 1st night why food was not cooking. The door to the games room is missing a hinge and so is difficult to close. There is a loose floor tile in the lounge area and several on the patio. The beds make an aweful noise when you get up (wakes partner when getting up in the middle of night) and the sound proofing between floors is none existent. Many of the utensils in the draw were covered in grease when we arrived. For a property of this quality build and cost it needs more attention to detail. The TV could do with being a smart TV, we had to cast from Husbands iPhone to enable brother to access his Sky account to watch his football (a 1st world problem but people expect these things these days).

A short stay in a well appointed cottage with beautiful views, it had everything you need

We stayed at the barn for the weekend with the family there was 8 of us in total, the house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a great weekend, plenty of parking and right near local amenities, would definitely stay again

Stunning property in a stunning location.

Super spacious with all the facilities needed. Great enclosed garden perfect for dogs. Games room was great for evening fun. Overall we had a fantastic break with our family making special memories and would 100% return.

Wonderful barn conversion.

Very high quality furnishings, heating and lighting. Fantastic views. Great location and easy access to shops. Very secure garden for our dog. This property has been equipped with very thoughtful detail.

The cottage certainly has the WOW factor,one of the best, if not the best, cottage weve ever stayed in, the views are second to none and the cottage itself was spacious and comfortable and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog.

Can't wait to return.

Fantastic Property, Great Location.

Great place in a fantastic location.

Had a lovely time with the family. Would 100% recommend this property.

What a great place to holiday in!

Super house in super countryside. Spectacular views. I have even bought a Stressless chair after sitting in one in this place!

This property is truly spectacular and in a wonderful location.

I would have given it a 10/10 apart from the fact that it wasn't quite pristine afew cobwebs around and the large glass doors needed a clean, hand prints on glass from previous occupants also leather furniture needed wiping down. Might seem petty but attention to detail is what gets top marks.

Lovely place in a beautiful location.

Easy access to everything. Place is amazing with everything you need.

Fantastic property in a wonderful location.

Have booked to go back next year already.

Fantastic, so good I got on the phone and booked it for next year, breathtaking view's and yet a short hop to in my opinion the best beach in Wales black rock sands, a family break with daughter and grand kids and dogs, games room was a bonus, open plan living with everyone all together, one or two things missing, ie,CD player, dvd player not working, can't wait to get back there, it's a credit to the owner and cleaning staff.

This property was amazing and would highly recommend, in a rural location with only three properties, games room to share across the three and beautiful views out into the overlooking farmers fields with sheep and cows just right next to you.

Had everything we needed and when the weather was sunny then having the patio doors to open in the back was a god send to allow the dogs to roam in and out. The only reason why I marked down the ‘Facilities and Maintenance’ is because of the following: 1. We noticed that one of the kitchen doors were hanging off the hinge on arrival (I fixed that) 2. We wanted to watch a DVD from the vast amount supplied in the games room however the DVDs sound in the living room area was not working. 3. We had to swap batteries within the remote controls for TVs because they were dead or didn’t have any. 4. Some light bulbs were out in the rooms however the bedside light did work. We absolutely loved the place and the above did not hinder our stay but would be great if these could be checked on a regular basis to make sure it doesn’t spoil anyone else’s stay in the future (which is why I mentioned as useful feedback)

This holiday home was the perfect location, close to fabulous beaches, Snowdonia, Portmerion.

It had everything you could possibly need for a home away from home. The garden was safe and secure for our dogs surrounded by wonderful views of the hills and surrounding countryside. We were blessed with a week of warm sunshine and benefitted from the bifold doors and BBQ. The games room was an excellent addition. The whole place was set up really well and brilliant for large family gatherings if you were to rent out the stables and farmhouse too. The only thing lacking was outdoor cushions for the sun loungers and some warm throws for the couches for chilly evenings. But the barn was warm with great underfloor heating and log burner. We felt the barn needed a touch of extra cleaning specifically the windows, overlooking the garden to fully appreciate the view and sills and tops of furniture were dusty. But the rest was perfect. We will definitely be back and are already looking for our next holiday.

Absolutely amazing property.

Beautiful inside and the surrounding countryside is fantastic. Perfect base for exploring the local area. The games room is a fantastic addition and the kids absolutely loved it (the adults too!) We would definitely return!

Super property, nice open plan layout for entertaining, great views, clean and comfortable.

Really enjoyed our stay.

This is a fantastic property set in the ideal surroundings, we will definitely be back again.

We stayed at the The Stables at Garth Morthin earlier in the year and that was another brilliant property. The proximity to Porthmadog and Black Rock Sands beach is perfect (only 5-10 mins to both) but the rural setting makes you think that you are in the middle of nowhere. These are probably the best all round holiday lets that we have stayed in, and we have stayed in properties all over North/ Mid Wales in the last 15 years.

Loved it, can’t wait to return!

Great Cottage - spacious and well set out, lovely enclosed rear garden.

Part of a complex of three but set out so that no one overlooks anybody else.

Wow!

What an amazing place to stay! High spec, well maintained and equipped. Shame about the weather we had but you can't have it all....

The cottage was a wow factor.

Lovely location.

Spacious and comfortable.

Good base for the beach and Snowdon. Is surrounded by a beautiful working farm with cows and sheep- garden safely enclosed but keep an eye on small dogs, and don’t forget to bring fly spray!!!! Happily recommend and would stay again. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay , amazing views and the property it self was Wow !

Will definitely be going back . Had the best time . Thankyou

Lovely property with beautiful views, I can highly recommend Garth Morthin The Barn.

Beautiful Stunning and Perfect.

Our third trip to Garth Morthin in a year!

! The Barn is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Location is perfect for visiting the most beautiful places in North Wales. We as a family highly recommend ;)

Beautiful surrounding a very relaxing weekend will be returing soon

This was our first visit to Garth Morthin The Barn and we had a lovely stay.

The property was immaculate, all appliances etc worked well and we all found the beds very comfy! The lighting system in the house and surround sound music was brilliant! The surrounding area is breathtaking and Garth Morthin is the perfect base to explore and rest & unwind in. We would definitely go back!

Had a very relaxed and comfortable week.

Great accommodation in a fabulous location. Was a little disappointed that the dishwasher didn't work.

This was our first time visiting the barn we were truly overwhelmed with how perfect it was.

There was literally nothing missing. The barn was so cosy and comfortable. We were close by to all local beaches and walks for the dogs. Would highly recommend. We were there for one week and we didn’t want to go home. We booked again for next year.

Loved this cottage, absolutely great.

Hope too return.

So far the best place we stayed at, very cozy and beautiful barn, have all what needs and sea side and town in 10min drive away, wonderful place!

We us family and friends felt in love and dogs too … Will definitely stay in there again.!

The owner was responsive when a problem with the toaster.

The property is in a beautiful location with great views from inside and from the lovely gardens. We had a great time overall. Facilities were generally good but we found a lot of minor issues that start to stack up. The washing machine was out of order for the full week, the toaster was replaced when reported to be tripping the electrics, the conservatory leaked on the first night (under extreme conditions), no welcome pack with even basics like a pint of milk. No condiments other than pepper. I usually find some bits and bobs from previous guests (eg, herbs, cooking oil etc) there was nothing. No surface spray. As stated all relatively minor issues but for a property circa £1800 for a week you expect more. The main issue for us was the cleanliness of the property. At a glance the property was well presented, bedding was fresh and clean but the floors were filthy. The sofas has crumbs and dirt under them. The tiled floors throughout the open plan living areas appeared to have only been vacuumed as they were filthy when wiped. The surface of the dining table was also dirty with food and crumbs engrained in the cracks. I don't think the owner is local and you can tell. It wouldn't take much to turn around what is essentially a lovely property. All in all a great holiday and property but lacking in attention to detail.

Fantastic barn in a stunning setting.

Well equipped and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. We had one query with the owner who was quick to respond and extremely friendly and helpful.

The Barn is home from home.

The view is amazing the resident Peacock was lovely and friendly. The back garden is fully enclosed and made the stay all the more enjoyable the patio furniture and sun loungers were used as the weather was gorgeous. We will definitely stay again. The property is clean and well maintained.

Great Cottage, really enjoy the location, with excellent facilities a few minutes away on the car, weather shops of the beach.

Looking forward to returning in October already!

Garth Morthin is a beautiful converted barn in an idyllic situation surrounded by rolling countryside… once there you feel totally relaxed!

The barn is equipped with everything needed for a fabulous holiday it’s very comfortable inside and very bright and airy….. maybe a couple of sun loungers would just finish off what is a perfect place to stay! The games room would be great for anyone with children.. it would certainly keep them amused for hours! Absolutely loved the birds that visited so many different species and of course our daily visits from the peacock! We would definitely return and would consider this our new favourite! ☺️

Wow this is an amazing property - the views, the location and a wonderful place to gain many happy family memories.

We are already planning to re-visit, as it ticks all the boxes for us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property. Perfect in every way!!

Stunning place.

8 of us stayed for a golf trip and we will be sure to book for next year. Amazing accommodation, views, facilities. Even had a resident Peacock. Great place. Cannot recommend enough

A lovely property with beautiful views, a lots of peace and quiet.

Well equipped with everything you need.

Dream holiday!

! The Barn is absolutely beautiful, garden and views breathtaking and dog friendly . Porthmadog is a wonderful little town with lovely pubs and the best fish and chips ever!! So many wonderful things to do, from a twenty minute walk to the Black Rock beach. Three castles and many beautiful towns within one hour drive. We are already planning our next trip, sadly fully booked until October:) We hope you enjoy your trip as much as we have. Phil, Fran, Tom, Lauren , Luke & Niamh xx

Fabulous holiday with our 3 granddaughters .

Kitchen has everything ,spacious living room with views of open fields and mountains ,and comfortable beds . Short drive to the beach and town which has the Glaslyn Tandoori Indian for great food and service . Sygun Copper mine is well worth a visit . Would definitely book again in the future

Beautiful property enjoyed everything about our stay.

Looking to make it an annual trip. Thankyou

6th time of staying here / its just perfect

I would imagine that a stay here in summer would be amazing as it's in a great location, we were here end of October so weather wasn't that great.

We were 7 adults staying here but the 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds in them are quite small, ideal for kids. The rest of the house is open plan with plenty of room etc.

Absolutely brilliant- will definitely book again

The Barn Makes for the best holiday accommodation, hence we keep returning every year.

The views at the rear of the property are the best we have come across from any accommodation we have stayed in, the garden is secure for our dogs who love looking over the wall at their neighbouring sheep, and the barn itself is luxury. The location is perfect to visit many surrounding towns/villages. We will return every year to get our ‘barn fix’

Stayed here in August, 2 families of 4 with a dog.

We had a wonderful time and really couldn't fault the property. Very modern open plan feel downstairs with all the facilities required for our stay. Secluded and peaceful with wonderful views and a big enough garden for the kids to play lots of games. Paul was always at the end of the phone if we needed anything and was extremely helpful in recommending places to go.

We have all had a lovely holiday at The Barn , Garth Morthin.

Beautiful scenery all round , half hour walk to the beach at Black Rock sands. Owned by a very nice chap who was very welcoming . Great games room we had a lot of laughs in there. Would definitely recommend this property to family & friends.

Lovely place to stay.

The view is amazing, so peaceful, wonderful scenery. The Barn is very big ample space for everyone. Kitchen is very modern and well equipt. We loved the games room, lots to do in there, snooker, darts and football table. Loads of board games to use, plus dvds. The location of the Barn is excellent, very close to Porthmadog centre, and also the black rock beach.

A really excellent property for a family holiday.

All the comfort, space and facilities that you could ever need. The shared games room is equally perfect and is great fun. The owner clearly cares and is keen to help in any way. Very highly recommended.

4th stay and back again in November - just perfect in every way !

The property is fantastic and well situated.

It’s just a shame there were some problems with cleanliness and a broken cot. Having said that the owners responded very positively, promised to replace the cot and arranged to investigate at further at hand over.

Fantastic house.

Every amenity you could think of. Great views and lots of different walking opportunities. Many different beaches in easy distance. Grandchildren loved the garden. A daily visit from a peacock became a highlight too. The games room an added asset.

We had a brilliant holiday at The Barn.

Great location with stunning views. The property's facilities were second to none with everything you could possibly need. The Games room was an added bonus and kept the men in the family busy in the early evenings. We will not hesitate in recommending The Barn to our family and friends. Thank you

perfect property cant wait to return in juna

barn is almost perfect and we are going back 3 times this year!

!! - the only thing that spoils it is that the beds are too small which is a shame as the rooms could take king size beds .. also the fire needs overhaul as the flue keeps closing and causes excessive smoke

Our 4th stay - really lovely cottage in great location, very clean and well stocked.

Highly recommended. Beds not the most comfortable (but that is a personal preference only). We would however very strongly recommend some wire or similar on the gates at the side and the back of garden to make the rear garden fully 100% dog proof - especially with the sheep just the other side of the fence. We resorted to using garden furniture to block the back gate from our small terrier who was able to fit through it easily.

We stayed in the barn (previously stayed in the stables which is also lovely) for my 40th birthday, and it was simply amazing, we didn’t want to leave and we have rebooked for next year.

The views from the barn are breathtaking, and it feels like home from home, and our two dogs loved it there. So sad to leave and already looking forward to going back.

“Lovely barn in a peaceful location.

” Very relaxing and comfortable for the whole family, with a secure garden ideal for our 2 very small dogs. The views from the barn are amazing and very secluded. Local supermarkets and beaches only a few miles away.

Lovely barn in a fantastic location.

Very comfortable furnishings and secure garden ideal for a very happy collie that could watch the sheep in the adjacent fields! The barn has all the utensils and equipment needed, some a little tired but still adequate. We would definitely recommend this accommodation for a relaxed and secluded holiday, with local supermarkets and beaches only a few miles away.

Second time of staying here.

Beautiful relaxing property set in stunning location. Had a broken sofa leg when we arrived but was sorted and replaced the very next day. Excellent host. Would highly recommend.

An excellent property in an excellent location.

Well equipped and clean throughout. We had a very enjoyable family holiday. Thanks to Sykes and the owners.

The location was perfect.

Near a beach and some country paths for walking.

Lovely cottage with spectacular views.

Close to the beach and plenty off walking trails. Cottage is well kept and very up to date despite being in the middle of nowhere.

A beautiful barn and gorgeous location in North Wales.

The cottage was perfect for two couples with plenty of space and comfortable seating and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need. It was also perfect for our two dogs with a safe and secluded garden and access to many dog friendly beaches (from September) and coastal and country walks.

Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage.

A well equipped kitchen and a great oven where we cooked all our meals for a week for 6 people including 2 who were vegetarian, as restaurants were only just opening after lockdown, and only doing takeaway all our meals had to be cooked in the cottage. Everything was spotless and we felt safe there, beds were good but an improvement from double to kingsize would be welcome. Our dog and granddaughter were secure as the garden was fenced off with gates, it was peaceful and in the midst of great countryside Only one problem was the rubbish was only collected by the council every three weeks, so the green bins and the recycling tubs were almost full when we arrived, as there are three cottages on the site. The internet had only just been upgraded days before we arrived, and had teething problems ,it was almost impossible for more than 2 people to get Connected to the internet which then crashed after half an hour. The owner tried his best to sort it with his tech company, so hopefully the problem is now resolved.

This is a beautiful barn located in a fantastic place for beach, hill and town but lacking attention to maintenance and housekeeping internally.

There is a long list of ‘snags’ that would be easily put right with more attention to detail which this barn definitely deserves. I don’t know if these would be the responsibility of the owner or of Sykes cottages but am happy to discuss these with both to help raise the standard to outstanding!

Despite the weather, rain, wind, Storm Dennis.

.. We all had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful and can't speak highly enough of the interior and the amazing views!!

This cottage is absolutely stunning we had an amazing holiday , so peaceful but not far from the beach with amazing view,s off Snowdonia very much enjoyable .

the property is outstanding - listing is spot on.

price is reasonable and locations is superb

We do at least two cottage holidays per year and this is by far the best one we have stayed in and believe me we have stayed in a few !

!!!!

Lovely house in a beautiful setting.

Had outstanding views over farmland and hills. Excellent open plan architecture and well appointed kitchen A problem with hot water was speedily dealt with. The sofas were comfortable but shabby. Rather short on side plates Could have done with a floor brush rather than just a Henry. So small things; a very pleasant holiday - will be coming back Philippa

The property was spacious with fantastic views.

We loved relaxing in the garden with the bifold doors open, looking at the beautiful scenery and watching the cows and sheep wander by. We had difficulty finding the property from the post code though, as Google Maps was convinced that the road we needed to take was not a through road and it tried to send us down a field track! The owner was very helpful on the phone though. Make sure you read and print off the instructions about how to find the property. One of the twin rooms is very compact, more suitable for children than a couple. Twin beds cannot be pushed together unless you leave the door open! We loved nearby beach, not crowded even on the hot days. The sand is so soft, great for walking on and building sandcastles! The property feels very private and secluded, but there are lots of convenient supermarkets and restaurants within a short drive, and some great local restaurants. Perfect for relaxing with the family. We would love to come back again.

Main criterion for us was an enclosed space for the dog.

This cottage was perfect but the location and setting were also outstanding. Beautiful empty beaches nearby where our anxious and reactive dog was able to run free.

A fabulous location to really relax and unwind.

Cheerful and elegant decor with wonderful facilities. Really happy with our holiday. Would absolutely return.

The Barn is set in tranquil countryside.

The property Has superb facilities being short of nothing. We have stopped here before and will be booking for next year. The owners came over one weekend they have their own property next door, popped round to say hello with a bottle of wine. If you want a relaxing setting with the sounds of owls and sheep with a beach 1 Mile away stay here, great for dogs. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful few days in this idyllic cottage, the views are magnificent and we were very fortunate as the weather was magnificent.

We were excited to see if your photos of the property and were note dissappointed when we arrived. Fabulous place and would recommend to others.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Barn and it didn't disappoint again.

Clean, warm, welcoming and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen (although there were several items not there that had been the year before, although nothing that you would need on a daily basis.) Its a lovely walk on the footpath through the fields to the beach and we didn't need to use the cars everyday. The beach stretches as far as the eye can see and at low tide you can round the promontory at either end on the sand, however the dog friendly bit of beach doesn't include the area nearest the point with the caves and where you can walk round to Criccieth. Make sure you check the signs on the beach before taking dogs on there. Would definitely recommend staying here if you can get booked. We were already limited on times for next year !

This is our 3rd visit and we have already booked a 4th.

Really really clean and very well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting. There is a problem with the hot water system though as it went off after our 1st night and was off for 2 days. We phoned the owner who talked us through how to switch it back on on the boiler which wasn't easy and it kept going back off again repeatedly. This was a prior problem the owner was clearly aware of before we arrived as the front cover of the water boiler had already been removed. The only other dissapointment was on our last morning we were ready to vacate by 10am as per the rules but the gardener arrived at 7.30am to cut the grass with a noisy mower in front of the large glass windows leaving us with no privacy and then the caretaker/cleaner turned up at just after 9.30am and parked up to wait for us to leave. Not the quiet last few hours of peace and relaxation before our long journey home that we had paid for and planned. Despite these small issues though we really love the cottage and will be going back.

Amazing views with excellent condition lodge and will definitely visit again

Most amazing place to stay for a group!

Waking up to the best views and being a short walk from the beach was lovely. We stayed to celebrate my father in laws 50th and they have a games room and plenty of games for entertainment. Owner was super helpful and friendly! Would recommend to anyone !

We had to refire the Booker twice to get hot water as it kept going off.

Also there was no key for the log store so we had to go to Tesco to buy logs etc for the fire. Otherwise excellent stay - thankyou

Wonderful well equipped accommodation in a stunning location.

Beautiful cottage in lovely location.

Very high standard!! We will be returning! Ideal for a family or a group of friends, Porthmadog and tremadog on the doorstep. Snowdonia all around!!

The Barn has a great situation with fab views.

A short walk from Black Rock sands and Criccieth.

Kitchen equipment fantastic if you like cooking, WiFi slow at times.

House and gardens beautiful. I shall miss it! If you have a teenager not much to do if the weather is bad but that’s nothing to do with the house more about the area.

Fantastic property and location.

The attention to detail on the property is second to none. The location is great, everything within easy travelling but you still have a quiet remoteness when at the cottage. Had a problem with the hot water, but it was sorted out very quickly, the owner was amazing, that's what makes the difference, very impressed. There were three generations of family holidaying, teenagers, parents and grandparents and we all loved it and would go back.

This is our second year at the barn and we are seriously considering a third year.

It’s an amazing place, in the heart of the country but 10 minutes from the sea and shops. Love it!

Beautiful property in a wonderful location close to beaches and mountains - accommodation is very comfortable with bedrooms over ground and first floors - a double and twin plus bathroom on each floor which makes it ideal for 2 couples or 2 families.

The huge lounge, dining and kitchen area is practical and well furnished and the ability to fold back all the patio doors (bifold) makes the patio into a seamless extension of the indoor space for perfect meals outside and relaxing over drinks while enjoying the views. Walled and fenced back garden is a safe space although dog owners need to be aware that that the fields around the property are likely to be full of sheep!

The building, location and facilities were excellent with the only negative being the cleanliness in a number of areas which unfortunately let the place down somewhat.

Our second visit to this wonderful cottage and hopefully not our last.

The owners have thought of everything you could ever need in this large and comfortable cottage.

Sykes Holidays merely acted as booking agents and provided little added value.

The holiday cottage was immaculate as always, thanks to the Catterall family for such a clean well appointed property.

A lovely place to spend a week with the family.

The barn was everything we hoped for and more. Well equipped kitchen, including a stick blender, electric hand mixer and slow cooker. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean as was the living area. Loved having the underfloor heating and we did have the log burner on one evening. Would like to be able to take more than two dogs and to be able to leave them in the Barn if they were contained as it precludes doing some activities as a family such as White Water Rafting and the Zip Wires. Lots of lovely walks from the doorstep and it is only 1 mile to the beach by road or slightly shorter by footpath. Great to have washing machine but weather wasn't always good enough to dry stuff outside.There is a clothes airer though and the huge glass doors across the back combined with the underfloor heating meant we could get stuff dry in 24 hours. Thoroughly recommend the Barn and we have already booked for next year.

Great property in a superb location.

The property is impressive with excellent facility and within easy reach of the Llyn Peninsula, Snowdonia and the beaches.

Amazing barn conversion, absolutely stunning.

Very comfy. We enjoyed every second there. We visited in March, so can only imagine how amazing it would be in the summer, however we couldn’t resist opening the bi fold doors to enjoy the scenery.

We are away as a group 2-3 times a year and always been pleased.

This was wonderful and really the best so far. I don’t know what would better it as it was perfect. Thank you so much!

What a great place to be!

excellent property Well appointed fantastic views and a delightful patio area, the garden is enclosed so our Border Collie could roam around without is having to worry. 15 minutes walk to the beach. A couple of lights out which we informed the owners to sort. It must be popular as we have tried to book it again in September but it is fully booked this year just about So in short if you want a get away from the crowds in rolling countryside in luxury no light pollution at night just the sounds of owls, go here. We will definitely be back as we have just booked for next March.

Beautiful property, owners were very helpful and friendly.

Would definitely book again.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location!

Everything required from a holiday let. We packed a few things that are normally missing (potato masher, fish slice, decent frying pan) we were pleasantly surprised that none were needed. More than equipped for a family of 7 plus dogs, we were so impressed we have tried to figure where we can slot in more time here. Only down side was the house is so well insulated that we struggled to make good use of the log burner but that is a probably the best negative that could be found :). All in All a lovely place in a great location, easy to get around, close to lots of main road links yet in the middle of nowhere. Black Rock beach is a must, our dogs loved it, with the added bonus you can drive on the beach so can pick your spot park up and walk as far as you wish!

A beautifully presented cottage in a perfect location.

Would definitely recommend.

The views we're amazing the beaches exceeded expectations.

The different breeds of birds counted about 10 The barn was extremely comfortable and warm would certainly book this property again.

Superb barn conversion in a great location.

The most suitable dog friendly place we have ever stopped at, large rear garden totally enclosed with lovely views

Lovely cottage but surprised how much prices have gone up next year on your website.

A beautiful cottage with stunning views and lots of peace and quiet unless you counted the sheep :-) Easy access to Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula as well as a few minutes from the huge beach at Black Rock Sands.

A 5 Star holiday for us all.

Great cottage in a lovely setting highly recommend t to anyone.

Fantastic week in the barn conversion, it was well equipped and catered for every need, weather was pretty kind for the time of year, would definitely return to this cottage.

Only thing lacking was some festive decorations.

Totally awesome property -

Excellent barn restoration, clearly benefiting from serious capital investment for the development.

Set in an attractive scenic, apparently isolated, location yet within easy reach of supply shops at Porthmadoc. Lovely! The barn benefited from quality slate flooring throughout which ran into the patio area, accessed via bi-fold doors. Good outdoor seating and comfortable leather seating inside. Generally equipped to a high and comfortable standard. All in all an excellent property that few would feel unhappy with, however I do have a few small caveats that detract slightly: 1) Not really suited to 8 adults (well at least not 8 equally): - Two double rooms were pretty good and two twin bedded rooms were really pretty poor by comparison - only suitable for the "poor relations"! - The smaller twin rooms were really better suited to child accommodation and had VERY limited floor space. - One twin room had no wardrobe and only a very small chest (wardrobe cupboard across hall) - this would be better fitted as a single room. - Another twin had beds, end to end, and a very small, shabby wardrobe - quite out of keeping with remainder of barn furnishings. 2) Cleanliness and presentation not quite 5 star: - Whilst by no means filthy or squalid (as some low rated accommodation can be) the cleaning turnaround team should try harder. - It's churlish to suggest it's not a lovely property, but it's a little let down by minor issues detracting from it's 5 star potential. - e.g. Corners hadn't been properly cleaned in bathrooms. - e.g. One could easily find cob webs and a little dust via close inspection, suggesting only a superficial clean and a bedding/towel change. - T towels (minimal supply, despite direct query and assurance there were plenty) looked grubby. Of the two, one was more like a red towel. - Kitchen equipment was seemingly haphazardly arrayed in different cupboards, some proving hard to find. - Some equipment possibly missing. - I was glad I brought my own sharp knives and other kitchen kit (following kit query) so wasn't caught out - apart from T towels. 3) Technical kit / facilities generally good but a little variable: - Good to have a shared games room (pool table, books, CDs, DVDs etc) only issue was key not available until 3rd/4th day. - WiFi signal very poor and often unusable. Separate WiFi code advised during week - this was better, but still not great. - Chopping board set provided after we rang to say we couldn't find any boards (we did later find in an isolated cupboard) but this demonstrates the owner/Sykes commitment to delivering quality, which we appreciate. - Mugs were a little limited in number meaning regular re-cycling needed. Ideally there would be a few more. Plates probably OK. Glassware variable. We brought additional cookware to ensure we had that which we felt essential for self catering. - Lighting set-up was very elaborate and a little hard to operate with themed zone modes alone, not always suiting our needs. Quite hard to ascertain how to override for multi zone use. Whilst we liked, we felt it was perhaps "a bit to clever for it's own good" and needed clearer programming. Notwithstanding the above "niggles" the barn really is a quality property set in an ideal location and provides the basis for a most enjoyable stay. Provided one books, knowing that two small twin bed rooms are far below what the main two doubles offer then one won't be surprised. Don't expect the cleanliness of a daily serviced 5 star hotel and accept that all properties suffer from a little wear and tear and you will likely be delighted with this barn.

We are a family of 5.

All children are young adults now, we are all busy and this was a perfect retreat for us to come together for a few days and spend time together. Thank you

Apart from the fridge freezer not always working properly and only half the oven we had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful barn conversion,it had so much room and everything was of such quality and taste and the views were to die for,we would love to visit this place again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

The Barn was so great for our family holiday - so peaceful and quiet but so easy to get to so many places in the area - the beach, the Welsh railways from Porthmadog, Llyn peninsula, Beddgelert etc etc.

Plus we went further afield to the Talyllyn railway and Betys y Coed. With 2 small grandsons the fully enclosed garden, with sheep to see through the gate, was a real bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
