As the day draws to a close, climb the stairs where you'll find four thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, a double and two twins, all benefiting from their own television, so you can snuggle up under the covers and drift off to the sound of your favourite show, alongside a snug single room, offering an intimate escape from the excitement. Prepare for a new day with a luxurious soak in the contemporary family bathroom, or if you'd prefer, kickstart you day with an invigorating rinse making use of the overhead shower.

Cae Lleci Reviews

Everything was beyond our expectations, they have everything you need and even more than you could think of. It was a great relaxing time for all of us. Thank you
We have been visiting Cae Lecci for years. ....even before it was revamped. The location is fabulous with the stream and the mountain views, yet only a 15 minute drive from Dolgellau....the four gates to open and shut notwithstanding. We loved the upgrades. My partner proposed to me whilst we were watching the sunset from the hot tub. I accepted, of course! But after our visit in October, may we suggest no more additions to the cottage now please. The pods are a bridge too far and interfere with natural ambience and views from the hot tub of the cottage. It's enough now. Most visitors now have everything they need!!!! Must give a shout out to the excellent cleaners and Roy, the property manager, who is responsive and helpful always.
The property was really well equiped and we felt at home straight away. The location is fantastic and a great get away from our normally busy lives. It is in no way a criticism but we thought the pod was unnecessary and not in keeping with the surroundings. We would love to go back.
Daniel
Clean and well equipped
What an amazing place, were already looking to rebook for next year ! The house is immaculate and couldnt have asked for a more cosy and spacious place to base ourselves for the week. Idyllic!
Beautiful location. Excellent outside space and stunning countryside for walks nearby. We loved the hot tub. The welcome box of provisions was very generous, and kitchen well equipped. Great property for a peaceful countryside break.
Christine
This cottage was perfect for 7 adults. There was plenty of room for everyone. The views were amazing a really peaceful retreat.
This is a fantastic property. Very well equipped and most of all its in the most stunning location. The river running past and the sheep all around are beautiful.
Kathryn
Lovely property. The outside area was beautiful. We had to give the hot tub a clean as when the jets had been on for a few mins the first time there was a good amount of scum possibly it hadnt been used for a while. Its states the property is pet friendly however in the written rules pets are only allowed in the kitchen and a hefty fine would be issued if any trace was left anywhere else in the house. All in all we had a lovely stay taking advantage of the family games available.
We did find a couple of dead rats outside during our stay which we disposed of. Absolutely lovely cottage with fantastic facilities, would really benefit from some sheltered outdoor seating for the winter months as its lovely outside in all weathers! Slightly disappointed to find out after booking that dogs must remain in the kitchen as I know mine would have loved to enjoy the fire of an evening! Completely understand but I think should be pointed out in the listing, there isnt much space in the kitchen for dogs beds as well as boots etc.
Amanda
Our second visit this year and it was lovely, even though it was wet all week very different to our sunny week in June. The creek was spectacular as the water rose, thundering past, and the views just as stunning. The garden and terraces are so well maintained, adding to the beautiful surroundings. Looking forward to staying again next year.
We have been using Sykes for a number of years and have always found the properties very good. Cae Lleci is a lovely property set in a beautiful area of Wales. The garden with river running through was lovely as were the walks surrounding it. The house was very clean and comfortable The table football was a bonus with the three boys. Maybe a few more table games would be good. An excellent property. Neil.
We all had a brilliant holiday with good weather, the house was so secluded & peacefull with the patio by the stream allowing us to have meals outside using the pizza oven. The cottage was comfortable & well equipped with lovely views towards cader idris & the surrounding countryside with the pretty stream running through next to the house. We only had one problem when whoever cut the grass allowed their dog to upend the bins & spread the waste everywhere & throw an empty drinks can down by the gate, no idea where the chicken carcass went!
Jennifer
It was very clean and well presented warm comfortable house. Beautiful location and stunning scenery. Gardens are lovely with stream running by. Would definitely go back. Lots to do in north wales too. Walks from the door
Wonderful property in a beautiful position. This has been the ninth time that we have stayed at Cae Lleci and we have enjoyed every one. The improvements made have been worthwhile though we would have still holidayed there had it been as it formerly was. I would suggest that a possible addition to the kitchen equipment would be a steamer.
Brilliant!, house is fantastic. Second time we have stayed. Location brilliant. Quality brilliant. Not a bad word for it. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!
What a superb place. Everything you could wish for was provided, to the smallest details. The owners had gone above and beyond to provide just that little extra to make a memorable stay. Of course the location alone was what made it, just breathtaking and away from all the stresses of life. A wonderful stay and we'll be back.
Robert
Superb property exactly as promised. Beautiful house in a stunning setting. Definitely recommend.
Loved the location. The property was well equipped with most things you could possibly need. The only thing missing was a lobby area for hanging wet coats and boots shoes etc. However. I would definitely visit Cae Leici again.
So peaceful ,lovely surroundings and listening to the stream , if you want a chill out holiday highly recommended.
Parmjit
Excellent property with all the amenities and more. Good location with stunning surroundings. Highly recommended for a quiet, comfortable, countryside holiday.
Absolutely stunning, perfect for all families. This house is set into some beautiful scenery and countryside, the house is perfect everything you need. The river in the garden is a massive bonus. The owner contacted us ahead of our visit, to explain the house had been renovated, it was absolutely faultless. We loved every minute and will be returning. Easy access to nearby paces to explore, Snowdon Summit, Portmeirion, Bala, Barmouth, Harlech and Zip world were a few of the places we visited.
