Hafod-y-Gors, Fairbourne

I think the best indication of how much we love staying here and it's clear from the visitors' book that so many people do is that we booked to come again in November while we were still here. HafodyGors was already a welcoming, comfy and clean place to stay, but the additions just elevate it further from the new floors and blinds in the conservatories I NEED those blinds to the flash new toaster in the kitchen. And there's an amazing Henry Hoover which I got to use as we like to leave it as spotless as when we arrived. Fairbourne is a gem of a village, too. The neighbours are unfailingly friendly without being overwhelming and we indulged in amazing kebabs from the Food Station and great fish and chips from the chippy. See you in November!!

Perfect stay in a clean comfortable house. Location good for shops, walks and scenery, especially from the rear conservatory. Enclosed garden so perfect for letting dogs out. Garden furniture meant sitting outside was a pleasure. Kitchen well equipped for those evenings eating at home and cooking breakfast. Couldnt fault anything.

A very enjoyable stay at Hafodygors. Lovely to wake up after a comfortable night's sleep to see the view across the fields to the mountains. The rear conservatory was great for having breakfast with the morning sunshine. Handy to have the beach, shops and a chippy near by, and easy access to nearby towns and attractions.

This was our second stay at No. 52. Having thoroughly enjoyed our first visit in 2024 not only did we book for November 2025, but we have already booked for 2026! Just as we did last time, we felt immediately at home when we arrived. It is smart, clean, warm and comfortable and, vital in November, a cosy place to return to after a bracing trip out. The views from the bedrooms are to be envied! Imagine waking up to those every day. Fairbourne itself has everything you could need the sea the views the shop and food choices, plus the road and rail links it's a 5 minute walk to the station and the shops. So to say we're eagerly looking forward to our third visit next year is something of an understatement. It was a privilige to stay somewhere that is just like a home from home.

We had a lovely 4 nights here we aim to return.

A delightful place to have a relaxing break. On arrival found everything was well prepared and spotlessly clean. For a holiday let, It was refreshingly unusual to find that there was comfortable furniture to sit in too ! Some heating in the bedrooms and a little more hot water capacity would be nice. A washing machine would also be a welcome addition given the shocking cost and facilities of the Fairbourne launderette!! Overall little else to complain about, and would be very happy to return again.

A comfortable and welcoming holiday home in a pleasant location. The view from the comfortable seating in the rear conservatory is stunning, leading to much time spent in there. The full facilities to hand in Hafod y Gors make for a most enjoyable stay.

The accommodation was lovely and clean and everything you need for a self catering holiday and cosy with lovely views

Our third time in Fairbourne, which we love! Our first time in this bungalow but it was comfy and cosy! Loved the little conservatory at the back overlooking the bay to Barmouth perfect for reading, watching the horses and sheep and the weather! Bungalow had two double bedrooms and comfy sofas for the rainy days! Kitchen is well equipped with fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Hope to return.

This it the second time I have been to this property and I can find no fault. There is an addition of a decking area which helps not to tread any dirt into the property and is a very cosy place to sit to enjoy breakfast. The milk and eggs are a very welcoming gift. I wont hesitate to re book for next year.

A very comfortable property with all the facilities one would expect. Milk, eggs, tea, coffee and sugar provided very helpful on arrival. An eclectic collection of cds and books! Although it did not affect our holiday some redecoration and repair is in order to bring this property up to a full 5 stars.

Always a lovely stay in this bright clean homely bungalow. The new decking and plants in the garden make for a very relaxing place to sit Julia is a star she keeps it spotless We shall definitely be back again

Lovely home from home and my third stay here. i think that speaks for itself. Everything clean and tidy on arrival. The decking and patio set round the back a great new addition. Will be booking soon for 2026. If not sooner.

We really enjoyed out stay! The place is well placed in Fairbourne, not too far to walk to the beach or the shops, nicely in the middle. For its small size it had so much space and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was very well stocked, one of the best we have stayed in for cooking equipment and we loved that they managed to fit a dishwasher in. The dining room in the front conservatoryporch was lovely to sit in the sun and have dinner in the evenings or play games. The lounge was comfy, sofa and chairs perfect for a comfortable evening watching films. The bathroom was very nice, looks recently refurbished. Good shower strength which is a walk in and a separate bath. We are always on the look out for places with walk in showers for my grandparents so will be brining them here for that. The super king bed was wonderful comfy, soft and we slept like a dream. We didn't use the double bed room but lots of storage. The real winning element of this place is the views. We spent so much time with tea in bed in the morning watching the sun rise with the horses, sheep, cows, birds and pheasants roaming about. Breakfast in the back conservatory or in the back garden made this place a definite one we will come back to. The dog loved it too, very grateful to be able to let her out in the garden and not worry. It's not a 5 star, plush, cottage but it's comfy, clean, well stocked and cracking views. Will be back!

Absolutely loved the property, from the views to how it had everything and more that we needed ,nothing was left out including the eggs and milk left for us plus a few things like salt, vinegar and all the tea and coffee,woukd highly recommend this holiday home.

To be honest I don't want anyone else to know how fantastic this place was. I think it's the first time we have been on holiday and not have to run out to buy dishcloths, toilet paper, etc, etc and if I did I found out there was an amazing mini mart up the road the best hummus and tomatos I have tasted in ages. It was so clean. Honestly the superlatives just go on. Big comfortable bed, settee, wifi, bath, heating, towels etc, etc. The only thing I am going to take next time is some chicken wire to fence off the ditch at the bottom of the garden we have Houdini dogs So, no please don't go there, leave it for me and mine!!!!!

We return to this property several times a year,it is spotlessly clean and the ... We return to this property several times a year,it is spotlessly clean and the views are superb, fairbourne is a quiet and relaxing place to have a holiday and the locals are very friendly

The property is lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The area is very nice and we were surprised with the filming days but it was lovely watching the filming being done.

HafodyGors has to be one of the nicest places we've stayed. We felt at home from the moment we stepped through the door and after a drive that was at times a bit stressful, that was a huge help to us. It is comfortable, warm, smart, clean and welcoming and if we could have smuggled the bathroom home in the car there's a good chance we would have done. The eggs and milk that were left for us was a lovely touch, too. The dog settled in right away, and to us that's the sign that somewhere feels like home. So, thanks for the opportunity to stay. All being well, this time was the only the first time.

Outstanding views from the property. Very comfortable and spotless. Ideally placed in the village for facilities and road and rail links.

A very comfortable and clean bungalow. Lovely garden space to relax in with a great view. All your essentials are provided and in good working order. Thankyou.

Lovely clean house with a great view and good access to beach and village. New suite was an improvement. Had a great stay. Only suggestion would be a new mattress in the bedroom on the left as the existing one is poor.

Lovely place lovely people cant wait to go back

Lovely time experienced in comfortable accommodation that suited our needs down to a tee. Stunning views from the back conservatory with most of our spare time in there. Did not watch TV once as the view looking out of the conservatory was more entertaining. The car was parked up the whole trip and when not walking used the train to go up and down the coast. Will certainly return as I love Fairbourne with its peace and tranquility unlike Barmouth.

The property was absolutely spotlessly clean and very well presented. The bungalow is very comfortable and well equipped. The views from the bedrooms and the rear conservatory are just stunning no matter what time of the day. Only a short walk to the village shops and pub. Seafront and beach also only a short walk so ideally located.

Brilliant location Bungalow was bright and airy Well stocked with essentials Comfortable and clean

Cleanliness and comfort were faultless. Kitchen well equipped. Bathroom very new and shower was lush. Views from the rear of the bungalow were fabulous. Handy for lots of walks, close to the beach and near enough to roads to make any car journey easy. One suggestion. Im not good with log ons and passwords. Might be useful to mention bringing passwords for netflix etc to future visitors. Apart from that perfect

A lovely cosy bungalow which was spotless and so peaceful. A great base with a short walk to the beach, shops and pub. Had everything we needed for a short stay. The beds were comfortable and the shower red hot. The kitchen was well equipped with milk and eggs on arrival which was a nice touch. We loved it and have booked again for August Suggestions Small chest freezer in the front porch.The little freezer compartment has limited space which could be a problem for longer stays. Addition of an air fryer or slow cooker would be welcomed as the oven took an age to heat up and must cost a fortune to do basic meal.

Very nice stay but dishwasher wasn't plumbed in. As I've arthritis, a dishwasher is important to me. Also lack of a decent fridge freezer. Kitchen really needs a bit of redesign. Also chairs not particularly comfy... gave me. So maybe a rethink on chairs. More comfy in back conservatory. All in all nevertheless I enjoyed my stay and would return

One of the best views ever! The bungalow was really clean and the milk and eggs were a perfect touch. I do think your sofa legs might need looking at though, not sure if they're just wonky or on their way out It was really nice to have access to the cleaning products so we could keep clean and tidy. Was cosy, comfy beds, comfy sofa and chairs. It has a really welcoming feel...just loved it and we'll definitely return.

Very good value for money property Outstanding view of Barmouth from back of bungalow

Exceptionally clean, fully equipped, set in a quiet road only 10 minutes walk to the beach, friendly neibours, would recommend Hafod Y Gors. Sykes cottages booking system very straight forward, no problems at all,

Very nice property, comfortable and restful. There are a few things that need attention, but the owner is aware of these, they are only minor things. We do hope to return in the new year, we will see how things go at home.

Lovely little house by the sea. Every thing you need in this little cosy house. Enclosed back garden overlooking the mountains was amazing witha morning brew. Eggs and milk on arrival was a nice touch, after a drive you don't have to worry about milk for a nice cup of tea. Will be looking at my calendar to book my next stay.

Lovely peaceful with beautiful scenery. Well equipped and very clean. Friendly local people.

What an absolute little gem of a property. We took a last minute break so we got this property for a steal, so I didnt have high expectations, but I wasnt really expecting such a well appointed home. When I read the other reviews they said this place has everything you need, they really werent lying. Theres coffee and tea and condiments and all the crockery and cutlery and utensils you could ever need a knife sharpener would be a bonus so no need to bring anything. There was even foil and cling film and Tupperware to use. They supply you with loo rolls and kitchen towels and tea towels and bath towels, everything you could ever need. Theres blankets to snuggle up on the sofa with and even board games for those rainy nights. I bought an os map with me and decided to leave it there for the next occupiers to use. The place suited mum and I as it had two adult bedrooms rather than a double and a bunk room and we were both very comfortable. I read some comments about the bathroom being a little dated, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a brand new refurbished suite! I dont know how the owners managed to fit everything they did in that small room without it feeling cramped, but they did! The only thing that would have been handy is some hooks on the doors and maybe a suction hook for the shower screen for the hanging of towels. Also, could the owners put a squeegee in the bathroom to use after your shower. We like to use one after every shower to avoid water staining and makes it easier to clean on the last day we hope we left it as clean as we found it A couple of tips 1. We found the hot water a little tricky to work using the timer, but because the shower is electric, you only need it on for a short while to have enough for the washing up or a bath so its better just to turn it on with the switch and off straight after to avoid wasting electricity. 2. Make an effort to go to the little Fairbourne railway on your first day and add the gift aid option when asked, which gives you unlimited travel on it for a year just go to the booth each time to register your travel and dont lose your original ticket. We used it four times to either shorten the journey across to Barmouth or to shorten the return. And it was just a pleasant experience to ride it, so why not! We ended up not using our car for the whole week as we could get everywhere we wanted via footboattrain big and small. 3. The shop in the town really has everything and was better stocked than most village stores Ive been to and the breakfast at the little chippy was just the ticket to set you up for the day. 4. Penrhyn bar and grill is a great little village pub with a real community feel. We went on three occasions and it was always bustling and friendly we met an amazing and huge dog called idris with the most amazing eyes! 5. Get a heads up of the tide times and plan your dog walks accordingly as there really is no sandy aread for about 12 hours before high tide and 12 hours after. 6. If you fancy something a bit different or fancy for dinner, try foxglove restaurant in Barmouth. Its fully vegan Im not! but the food was exquisite. You get a set 5 course meal prepared by Luke which uses the most fresh and wonderful ingredients. Ive never seen or tasted anything like it before. Its all locally sourced where possible, foraged and organic produce so its ethical, which makes you feel a bit smug. It wasnt the most filling food and it is expensive, but what an experience! And they welcome dogs like family friends so its a real must for adventurous animal lovers! We got the train back at 2146 after a cocktail at a pub called The Tilman which I also highly recommend. Everyone we met was so friendly and everyone loved our two dogs. I would definitely consider coming back here again!

We had such a lovely holiday at HafodyGors. The weather was the very best ever, and we have been coming to Fairbourne and Barmouth too many years to remember. We loved this compact bungalow. Immaculately clean and well presented. Comfy beds. Lovely big enclosed garden for our Whippet. Yes the bathroom hasnt been refurbished yet, but it is clean and functional, and the shower was fine for me and Ive got long hair which takes a while to wash and rinse. Please owners, if you do reniew the bathroom can you keep the bath please, and just put a shower over? I was cold one evening after swimming and a lovely bath warmed me up! We loved your bungalow so much we have booked it for next summer!! Thanks.

Nice and quiet, own garden and a wonderful view on the back. The winter garden on the back is particular nice. Kitchen and bath are clean but got old.

Very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed our stay. Only downside was the shower was quite poor.

An excellent property extremely clean and fully equipped with everything we could want. The garden was lovely and very safe for our dogs. The little conservatory at the back was a lovely place to sit and watch the sun set. We were very pleased and enjoyed our stay. Would recommend this property
