Real cosy cottage with everything you need. Stunning location, great place to stay to get away and to visit multiple locations in and around Snowdonia.
Louise
Second time staying here, amazing cottage. Watching stars in the hot tub definitely a bonus. Pure peacefulness, cuppa coffee whilst watching the sheep graze. Coming from a City, this is the place to be. We will be back.
Helen
Wonderful stay at Meini Hirion, cottage is in a beautiful location, surrounded by countryside. The village nearby is quite remote so bring own groceries is best.

Maria
Really lovely stay in this cute cottage surrounded by rolling fields of lambs. Kitchen very well equipped, even with an air fryer. Hot tub was a great bonus after long hikes. The cottage is attached to the owners house and garden/hot tub is overlooked. But we barely saw the owners. The location is quite out of the way, just a warning if youre wantiRead moreng easy/quick access to popular walks and places. It was 45 mins to Betws-y-Coed. Hide

Everything about the cottage was great and suited us and our dog. The conservatory was ideal for leaving muddy boots and coats after a day out walking. It was adequately equipped and the welsh cakes on arrival were appreciated. The dressing room was a lovely extra room to relax in with ample wardrobe space. The hot tub was a bonus- taking in the viRead moreews and a glass/ bot of bubbly! Owners were friendly and lived next door, but never intruded. Highly recomended cottage if you want a relaxing break.

Ian
Excellent location and facilities are 1st class .Would highly recommend the cottage and we'll definitely stay here again
Sandra
A lovely break in the scenic and amazingly diverse Snowdonia, the cottage is in the middle of nowhere surrounded by rolling countryside with just sheep for neighbours - very quiet only showing an interest while we sat in the hot tub looking out towards the hills around us. A walkers paradise, we took our bikes too as the property had an outside sto re. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything that you would need and more. Owners were very friendly and helpful. A definite revisit.
Will
Cottage was superb and cozy. Enjoyed the peace and quiet the cottage and location offered. Watched the stars in the hot tub!
Victoria
Fantastic secluded location if you want to switch off from everyday life. Comfortable and well presented cottage with all amenities you need for a self catered stay.
Sally
Fabulous cottage off the beaten track with superb views. Facilities very good and spotlessly clean. Hot tub with a view just added to the perfection.
Rebecca
A spectacular location, it is down a long and slightly rough driveway, so don't be put off and think you're in the wrong place - signs already up are very helpful. Cottage is cosy with everything you need, warm and comfortable, conservatory useful for wet clothes and lovely on a sunny day. Hot tub feels private and views are amazing, owners extreme ly helpful. Just a note, be aware due to height of bathroom, we could not stand under the shower, inconvenient but not a major issue, a lovely stay!
Tracey
Love the place like it that much been 3 times hot tub is the making the cottage is cosy nice log fire definitely go back to get away from anything
Caroline
A gem of a cottage, the ideal spot to recharge the batteries and escape the madness of day to day life. The cottage had everything you could ask for hot tub, log burner and amazing views.
Alan
Cottage and surrounding is beautiful and hot tub amazing. Make sure you take enough stuff with you as you are in middle of nowhere which is amazing. Very quiet and lovely setting..
Abby
Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere - perfect for a break away from normality! Closest town is a 10 minute drive which is ideal. Hot tub was lovely, and cottage was warm and cosy. Only saw the owners once but they were very helpful with anything we needed. Would stay again, although probably in the Summer rather than October.
Daniel
Beautiful cottage, in a beautiful part of the country. Owners were very welcoming. Perfect getaway from the city lifestyle.
Sarah
Fab little cottage, amazing views and lovely quiet rural location. Well equipped with everything you could need, the hot tub was amazing and the hosts are so friendly. Lots of local takeaways and places to eat out in Bala and plenty of exploring to be done. Really enjoyed our week away.
Cecil
Cottage is quiet with great views. Well appointed with everything we needed.
Liz
A very comfortable cottage, with a lovely hot tub and amazing views. The property is reached via a single track path through a cow field. Perfect if you are looking for a very quiet getaway. Do not expect pubs, restaurants or shops within walking distance. The owners property is adjoined to the cottage and although they are friendly, there are time s when they will be using their hot tub or garden at the same time as yourself.
Jim
If you want to walk to the pub, this cottage might not be for you. But if you want to sit in the hot tub and not hear a human sound, then it might be ideal. Very comfortable and well equipped cottage, in a truly beautiful location. View over the valley below is just incredible. Pretty perfect.
Jack
We had a lovely stay the cottage. It was clean, peaceful and well presented. With views that are truly unspoilt it's impossible to not have a relaxing stay.
Richard
Amazing location - quiet doesn't do it justice. We used the glass area on the back of the cottage most of the time - the views are to die for. Hot tub amazing - again incredible views. Cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Would definitely go again.
Sharon
Lovely views from a quirky cottage, conservatory was good on a wet day.
