Hot tub under the stars, great space for my dog in the garden with an enclosed fencing. All the equipment in the kitchen you could ever need to get your cook on. All the rooms are spacious and designed with Read morecomfort and cosyness in mind. Location is great for the hikes, Wales was made for, so many walks from the cottage and the local village with free parking. I'll be back very soon! Hide

Clare

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and in a beautiful location. Superb hot tub, perfect for when you get back to the cottage after long walks. Enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. We throughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again.

Sarah

Do not hesitate to stay here!! This was a return visit for us and we will be back again. The location is second to none. The valley is utterly beautiful with amazing walks from the doorstep. The garden is fully secure for dogs and has beautiful views all round. A perfect excuse to spend time in the hot tub! Inside is equipped with everything yoRead moreu'd need for a stay. If you need a trip away a rounded by countryside and no noise except wildlife then this is perfect. Hide

Linda

Very well appointed, comfortable & homely. Very quiet rural setting. Very relaxing. The hot tub lovely & private. The drive from the village to the property is a narrow lane just over a mile with some passing points, care needed, but its worth the drive. Had a food delivery by Morrisons which meant we were self sufficient.

Alison

Amazing stay ...View from cottage stunning...everything you need in cottage.Hot tub was a bonus after a day out. Welcome pack was appreciated.Beds where really comfy. Will definitely be back .

Lenka

Amazing location and we had such a amazing time, cottage and hot tube amazing and relaxed the best view on mountain and lovely animals around so defo very great experience and beautiful nature around, thanks so much definitely come back again

Joanne

Comfortable cottage in a wonderful location. Plenty of parking at the front and side of the house. The house is spacious and warm. The kitchen is homely and very warm due to the Rayburn and was brilliant for drying things over it on the rails. Plenty of kitchen equipment but the cooker temperature (not rayburn) is hit and miss. The living room is sRead morepacious with a log burner. Bedrooms are fine, clean and plugs in good places. Brilliant WiFi speed which is needed as the phone signal is nil in the valley. Loved using the hot tub whilst watching all the lambs playing in the fields. Its an idyllic place to stay for piece and quiet and would return. Hide

Chris

An amazing place to stay. Central to many amazing attractions, beautiful views, quiet, peacefull, dark nights with beautiful starry sky's when clear. Perfect for the hot tub and the Aga & Wood Stove is perfect in the colder weather. Make sure to look in the history of the area including Meirion Mill. 10 out of 10, can't wait to return.

Craig

Just had a fantastic week in this lovely cottage. The setting of the cottage is beautiful and very quiet with walks from the door. The cottage is very cosy and spacious perfect for spending quality time with the family. Would definitely recommend to others for a peaceful stay but close to lots of fantastic places to visit.

Rob

We had a fantastic time here and would love to come back. The owners were on hand throughout and happy to help and also left a lovely welcome basket. The setting for the cottage is beautiful and in a lovely part of Wales. We enjoyed some great days out and loved returning to the hot tub! A great week.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful tranquil location. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket too! Despite stormy weather during our stay we were snug in the cottage. Garden was reasonably secure for dogs, unless you have an escape artist. Really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Naomi

What a fantastic cottage in a lovely area. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and greatly enjoyed. The kitchen was well equipped and I enjoyed cooking whilst looking out at the mountains. The garden was a lovely size for our dogs to have a play in, and the hot tub was just what we needed after a day of walking. Would recommend and we'll hopefullRead morey be back soon! Hide

Lovely cottage, amazing location. We all loved sitting in the hot tub looking at the mountains and the wild life. North Wales has so much to offer we will definitely be back.

If you are looking to get away from it all but like home comforts this the definite place to be. Warm cosy comfortable isolated but close to the beautiful must see Snowdonia National park.

Jamie

Idyllic cottage set in the base of the valley close to Aran Fawddwy with access to amenities only a short drive away. This property has everything you could need for a family get away, the welcome basket of local produce was greatly appreciated. The hot tub is a bonus after days out walking and cycling.
