Bwthyn Yr Afon Reviews

GARY

We wanted peaceful/quiet cozy get away for 2 and that`s exactly what we got hot tub was great to relax in the cottage had everything, with the local pub just across the stream via a private footbridge 200yds max away was very good AAA+++++++++++++++++++

Alison

Second visit as a perfect cottage in a wonderful location. The dog loves the woods, as do we, and loved the changes every day. Pub is just as good and the addition of the ice cream by the beach made it a daily walk. Still so do much to see in the area we will be back.

Danielle

Fantastic, gorgeous little cottage. The garden is perfect for those with dogs, the hot tub is a welcome addition. We couldn't have asked for more. The private path to the pub was a welcome surprise too! We never met the owner but texted a couple of times and she was lovely and helpful. Only thing to be mindful of, is there's a very large holiday hoRead moreuse attached - We were lucky it wasn't hired our week, but for those who want complete seclusion worth considering. Superb location, lovely cottage! Hide

Dawn

Very spacious ground floor cottage in a peaceful coastal location Hot tub nice and relaxing after days out Plenty of nice places within easy reach, small train station,bus stop and beach close by. Little walk over private bridge to local pub was great bonus with nice Sunday carvery. Host's very pleasant and helpful.

Joanna

An absolutely wonderful little bungalow cottage! Location was lovely, away from noise, but only a few minutes away from the train station, Barmouth or the nearby beaches. The garden is so pretty, fully enclosed (if you had a dog). There is a big holiday house next door, but very cleverly done so their garden and hot tub is the opposite side to thisRead more one - we didn't hear any noise at all and each property doesn't overlook the other, so very nice in that respect. Hot tub amazing! Hide

Deirdre

Fabulous stay at this beautiful amazing property. It was very clean and comfortable. Every thing we needed was at our fingertips. The area was very quite and peaceful. A short walk to the beach and beautiful untouched woodlands on the doorstep. As well as the pub just a few minutes walk away. Lots of beaches within 20 minutes for dog walks. The hotRead more tub was a lovely bit of luxury and made it more relaxing. Everything was perfect and I'll definitely book again for next year. Hide

Ayesha

Had a fabulous stay, the garden is secure for our dog and he loved walking in the woodland at the rear of the property. The beaches are close by and dog friendly, recommend Black rock sands for a day trip, take a picnic, to park on the beach costs 8.00, but worth it for a day, there are toilets there too, left side dog friend lovely beach. OtherwisRead moree Benar beach and Barmouth beaches both have dog friendly spaces, Plenty of space for dog to run round and paddle or swim. Great Hot tub. Hide

Pauline

Fabulous cottage! Clean and fresh first impression. Cozy although rooms are spacious. Plenty hanger and storage for clothing in bedroom. We felt at home from the start. Cottage well furnished and kitchen well equipped. Lovely hot shower. The cottage in a secluded spot that hs access to a pub-a very short stroll down gravel path from the garden. CotRead moretage is a 10 minute walk from beach and talybont train station. Plenty walks around the talybont/barmouth area. Hot tub end of walking day bonus. Hide

Colin

a really enjoyable holiday in this delightful cottage.With its enclosed garden for my dog Gemma.Loverly walks and places to visit.The beaches are smashing .A pity the weather changed for rain at the end of the week but overall a great stay.

Cal

This was our second visit to this lovely little cottage. It's only a short walk to the picturesque woods and stream and to the beach perfect for walking the dog. The cottage is well equipped and nice and quiet. We are already thinking about booking again for next year.

Alison

The location attracted me to this cottage, by a wood and walking distance to a pub. We arrived at a little gem, clean comfortable and well equipped. The back garden is a sun trap and even in April we were able to use the hot tub and then sunbathe. The location is perfect if you like walking, the woods are magical and when we were there the bluebellRead mores were out. Walk in the wood or venture further if you like climbing hills. Walking distance to train and beach. Booked for Sept when we got home. Hide

Rachel

Cottage was cosy and well equipped. The little fenced garden was really useful and caught the sun in the afternoon. The little bridge over the river to the pub or lovely forest walks is great.

Anita

Love it here! Third time

Amanda

Cosy cottage in a great location for the beach and lots of walks. Pub was just out the gate and over a small bridge. The food was tasty and good value. The train station was half mile away and took only 7 mins to get to Barmouth. Great stay and would return.

David

Perfect location, had a fantastic week and the hot tub was a bonus after long walks. Would most definately return.

Tracey

The property was lovely and in a great location. Beautifully clean and comfortable, the enclosed garden for the dog really helped and the hot tub was well used after a days walking.

Natalie

We had a wonderful week, it was all decorated for Christmas and looked beautiful. Hosts a pleasure to deal with as always. Will definitely be back

Kia

We had a really lovely stay. Very clean and cosy, fairly private and beautiful area! Lovely walk up the river into the Forrest just at the back of the property, and a beautiful big beach just a 5 minute drive down the road. Cottage was gorgeous and the hot tub made it perfect! Would definitely come again.

Darren

Lovely little cottage ,great location

Louise

A lovely comfortable cottage plenty of room for 2 and a dog. The enclosed garden is good if you have a dog. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Ideal location for day's out to surrounding areas. A beach within walking distance or a short drive. The local pub just a walk away is dog friendly and serves good food. We would definitely stay there again.

Jennifer

Very beautiful location,calm and peaceful.The cottage was spotlessly clean.Looking forward to visiting again and would highly recommend.

Helene

Lovely little cottage next to a Brook and woodland walk with the local pub just over a private footbridge! Cottage has everything you'll need. It's clean and cozy with a fabulous hot tub. The bed is comfy and its very quiet and peacefully. Train station is a 10 - 15 minute walk (great for a night out in Barmouth) So many great places to go -Harlech Castle & beach, Portmerion, Porthmadog, Caernarfon Castle, Snowdonia so this is a perfect base. The owners were lovely and couldn't do enough.

Michelle

Absolutely perfect little apartment! It was perfect for 2 people, and everything we needed. The location was amazing, straight from the lovely enclosed garden into the beautiful woodlands, with a stunning stream that you can walk along. Pub 2 minute walk with lovely home cooked food. Talybont spar shop & post office around a mile and a half drive a way, beach only a mile to walk with fabulous views. The hot tub amazing! Some delicious treats on our arrival. Big thank you to the owners!

Karen

Lovely little cottage for two it was perfect for us to have a quiet place to relax in the garden and hot tub, everything you need in one place. Pub with good food two minutes away. Beaches 15 minutes walk away. Lots of places to visits by car. Contact with the owner via text if we needed anything and welcome message and safe journey home text. Love ly welcome pack containing local cakes. Welsh scones and eggs. Our mornings were rather overcast which was a shame but thats the UK weather.

Jacqueline

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings close to lovely beaches & a great woodland walk along the river behind the cottage.Close to local amenities but just far enough away to feel secluded & peaceful & the hot tub was a welcome addition.Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon

Roy

The cottage is situated in a lovely quiet location close to the River Ysgethin and the Ysgethin Inn which is dog friendly and good for the odd meal, very busy at our time of visit it being a Bank Holiday week. Cottage is comfortable but we did find the bed hard and the sofa not too comfy after a while, made use the table from the boot room as a cof fee table. Guest house close by which is not mentioned in the cottage blurb on the web site. The hot tub was used daily and weather was excellent.

Colin

This lovely little cottage is brilliant for the quiet holiday ,good enclose garden for my dog .Lots of good walks with beautiful countryside to take in.Not far from the great beach and surrounding towns and very friendly people.Hope to be back next year. Very happy holiday.

Cal

The cottage is lovely, very clean, the location is great right next to a stream and woods which was great for walking the dog. We would definitely be booking this cottage again in the future.

Anita

Everything thing you need, its warm n cosy and hot tub is a bonus!

Mark

Excellent cottage in a great location. Local pub just 300yards away across a small private bridge accessed from the cottage garden. The Beach is 20mins walk. The hot tube is superb.

Kenroy

A beautiful cottage in a great location. The cottage was very clean and had all the equipment any self caterer would need, walking in to the bedroom was amazing it smelled so fresh. We will definitely return

Ayesha

This cottage is a joy, relaxing, with ancient woods at rear of premises, our dog loved the walk in the woods.It's so peaceful hot tub for relaxing after long walks on the beach and in the woods. Has everything you need for a relaxing break would definitely recommend xx

Gretel

Fab little place. Very peaceful, great location. Lively walks to beach and along river. Lively little touch with mince pies, eggs and chocs and Xmas decs made it very cosy and they matched our Xmas tree, so added bonus !

Melanie

The cottage was lovely. So clean and bright. Lovely and warm. It had everything we needed & the bed was comfy so we slept well. My only criticism (if it is one) is that the hot tub is overlooked by the guest house next door so being a big girl, I felt too self conscious to use it (the website pics give the impression it's inside the 'hut thing' in the garden, but it's not - its on the patio outside. The owner is lovely & popped in twice to make sure we had everything we needed.

Karen

Lovely cottage in a great location. Perfect for dog walks in the woods or on the beach. Equipped with everything you could need and more, plenty of room to relax.

Janet

A warm, spacious cottage with a well equipped kitchen. The bed was comfortable. The porch was excellent for drying wet outer clothes as it had a radiator in it and a shoe rack for boots. Unfortunately it rained quite a lot when we were there. The Co op in Barmouth is very good for food shopping. The enclosed garden is secure for the dog and the wal ks in the adjacent woods are lovely. She wasn't too impressed by the number of acorns that got stuck in her paws but she enjoyed the walks.

Beverley

Very clean and well equipped. We found the bed a little hard for our tastes. Was in a nice position. Two minutes walk to pub and good food. About a mile walk to the beach. The hot tub was the star.

Ayesha

On arrival we found the cottage was found to be spotlessly clean and beautifully presented, it occupies a dream location next to ancient woodlands and a mountain stream. It is quiet but very convenient for beaches and local shopping towns. The cottage is very well equipped with all you need, and a secure garden with hot tub which is a bonus after a busy day.

Pat

Great location to explore Snowdonia. Quiet, relaxing and hot tub great after a day of walking. Excellent hosts and accommodation clean & tidy throughout.

Allan

Lovely cottage, beautiful location
