We loved this cottage. It was so comfortable for us and our toddler. The views were fantastic and it was only a short beautiful drive to Barmouth and the coast. The cottage was spotless and nicely furnished, couldnâ??t fault it. Plenty of great walks from the door. We are already thinking of a return trip.

Beautiful cottage in stunning location. If you want to leave the world and traffic behind then this is the place for you. Only noise you will hear is from the sheep bleating in the fields.

Het huisje was voorzien van alle comfort en was zeer netjes! De eigenaars waren bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De omgeving overtrof alle verwachtingen.

It is a magic place and we had the most relaxing stay ever. The property itsel is very nice, clean and tidy and Sarah and Bryn are fantastic hosts.. We were lucky to be there in the lambing season and been awaken by baa in Baamouth was amazing. If you want to sleep well and long, switch off, walk around the farm in beatuil countryside of Snowdonia, it is the right place for you. We will be back.
