Garth Farmhouse Reviews

Craig
My wife & I stayed here for a week, and the location was perfect for us in many ways. The cottage has ample space, with the option of an electric fireplace in one lounge, and a real fireplace in the other! The hot tub was great, and while there wasn't a bbq, we brought our own raised fire pit that worked perfectly for this. Llyn Tegid is a 10min drRead moreive from the cottage, and Eryri National Park is on your doorstep, so this is the perfect location as a base for exploring the countryside. Hide
Daniel
What a fantastic week away with our dog and 2 young boys!! The farmhouse is stunning! In a perfect idilic location with plenty of space inside and out! We enjoyed plenty of walks either straight out by foot from the home or a short drive away followed by a soak in the hot tub when we got back! We will definitely be returning in the near future.
Sylvia
A beautiful cottage very peaceful set near beautiful bala lakes With a lovely village nearby to get shopping The cottage is very comfortable with stunning views and a short walk to the steam.train station great area for walking dogs
Jacqui
A lovely house in a beautiful setting, very spacious and clean. Had everything we needed. Garden is very secure, so we didn't have to watch the dog every time he went out. Hot tub was an added bonus, perfect for easing stiff legs after a long day's walk.
Lorraine
This is a lovely place to stay so quiet and your away from everything and everyone. You have two living room areas with a tv in each so kids got to watch a movie whilst adults watch their own. My kids were fully excited by having tvs in every bedroom. The shower was perfect after a day of walking. There was only one downpoint by location and probabRead morely our own fault was the bigger supermarkets are quite a drive. There is a local co-op though in Bala. We went to Tesco in Porthmadog on a day out. Hide
Claire
Lovely week away in this cottage
Jemma
Amazing beautiful cottage in a tranquil location. Cottage in a working farm. Roberts family were lovely nothing too much trouble. The views are stunning. Cottage is warm and cosy. Hot tub was an added bonus. Beds-rooms good size. Perfect for the dog as outside secure hardening. Fields of cows and sheep all around . 5 mins walk from small village anRead mored 10 mins drive from Bala lake with shops and restaurants. Around hour from Barmouth. Perfect place to explore Snowdonia national park. Hide
Raymond
A minor point. The toilet has been fitted a little close to the end bathroom wall (about 3"). Moving both the toilet and the sink/vanity unit a little would be far more comfortable.
Andrew
We stayed here for a mountain biking trip and wanted something out the way but close enough to where we were riding. Located at the back of a farm the cottage had everything we needed and plenty of space. Nearest town bala was only 10mins in a taxi and the local pub also doubled as the shop aswell. All the locals were also friendly.
Abigail
Really lovely farmhouse, perfect for a quiet and relaxing UK break.
Simon
Lovely cottage to stay at in North Wales with plenty of room for a large family or group or friends. The kitchen was large with plenty of room and equipment for cooking. Highly recommend
Ruth
Fabulous cottage - spacious throughout & a well equipped kitchen. The views from the hot tub were such a bonus!
Ceri-Ann
Beautiful house in a fab location. The log burner was much appreciated with the typical Welsh weather we had! Would definitely recommend for a quiet get away.
Heather
Fantastic property, really comfortable and homey has everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and plenty of fridge and freezer space Owners are really friendly. Great for taking your dogs away as the back garden is fully enclosed
Bradley
We had a really lovely time, the cottage was lovely and cosy and the views were to die for! Shame we didnt book for longer. Generally all round great few days for our friends 30th birthday Thanks
Paul
My wife and I stayed here with our 2 dogs. The cottage is very spacious and offers all necessary facilities for the perfect stay including the Hot Tub which we really enjoyed. The garden area is completely secluded and can be locked off, which gave our dogs the freedom to run around without the worry of them escaping. The Kitchen is fully stocked wRead moreith ample cookware etc. We chose to eat in most nights and sample local produce, so the range oven worked well. Looking forward to our next trip! Hide
Clare
Had a fantastic stay at the family run farmhouse. Fully equipped with everything youd need. Owners have done an excellent job. Hot tub was a real treat to use too. Cant wait to visit again.
Jayne
Very clean and comfortable home from home. Great hot tub enjoyed by all. Hosts are very near by on farm and will do anything to make your stay fabulous. Even had lots of blackberries on the road up to the farm to pick. We will definitely be booking again xx
Teena
Lovely home to rent for a holiday. The area and surroundings,fantastic. Hot tub was up and running when we arrived and needed after a lot of,driving,hot weather,walking,sightseeing and zip wire,days out.
Karen
Beautiful place and area, would definately return.
Vik
Lovely place in the middle of nowhere. Hot tub was wonderful at night looking at the stars. Even the dog had a great time watching the farm animals and birds from the secure garden.
jemma
Great space for a trip away. We had 2 dogs with us and the area is enclosed so safe for them. So much room inside.
Rachel
We had a 3 night girls trip and it was wonderful. The house is so cute, so peaceful and fully relaxing. Because the area has no light pollution the night sky is absolutely amazing (especially for those of us from big cities). Its a short drive to Bala but we were solely interested in relaxing - there is a lot of lovely walking to do in the area tho ugh. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are comfortable. The owners are so lovely as well. We're all definitely coming back!
Chris
Lovely place to stay. Overlooking Bala lake which is accessible at the local village by a quaint steam train. The location is perfect if you like to be just outside everything, being on a working farm the property is at the top of the farm affording privacy. Inside the cottage is decorated with nice touches related to farm life. The garden has a ho t tub and views of the farm and faraway hills with a nice walk close by. Sometimes military planes fly overhead I even saw a red arrow! Amazing.
Caroline
Lovely cottage in a great location. We found the accommodation clean and well equipped with great views towards Bala. We visited Barmouth and Harlech which are well worth a visit and also drove to Llanberis to climb Snowden which is about an hour and a quarter drive away. Yr Eagles pub is worth a visit with decent food and Bala is a nice little tow n too. Hot tub is a real bonus. Would recommend this property.
Michelle
Lovely stay again this year. Weather was very kind to us again. Absolutely love this cottage and especially on a working farm. We will definitely be back again.
Rachel
Lovely cottage tucked away on a working farm. The location was perfect for the local high street in Bala and not too far to travel to snowdon, we also visited Barmouth, devil falls, Aberystwyth and Porthmadog, all roughly an hour away.
Ellie
This is a beautiful farmhouse in a peaceful setting. It's on a working farm but we didn't have any interruptions because of that, it was quite lovely to see the sheep and cows. The house is really well equipped and comfortable plus it was very clean throughout. For hikers you can set off right from the front door up the nearby Aran mountains which was a nice plus for us. Communication with the owner prior to arrival was prompt and friendly. Definitely recommend a stay here!
Abigail
Fabulous cottage on a working farm. We had a great stay and will come back for sure. Loved it.
Lisa
What a fantastic property. We loved all of it. Location, the family, the animals, the cottage and everything it had to offer. So much space. The kitchen had everything you could need. The wonderful open fire made for cosy evenings. Shame we only stayed 3 nights. We will defiantly be returning in the future. Have already recommended to friends and f amily.
Jack

Toney
The owners were lovely and accommodating. The cottage was well presented and in a beautiful part of Wales.
Gemma
Stayed here over the Christmas period . It was lovely a beautiful cottage in amazing picturesque setting. It was so comfortable like home from home . I am in love with the cottage and will definitely return . The sounds of the animals and the sheep in the fields makes it even more special especially when I have come from a built up town it was so r elaxing to go to the countryside . I could quite easily live in this cottage forever
Shirin

Beth

Amazing weekend!!
