Llwyniarth Reviews

Alexander
Fantastic cottage and location, I love the remoteness
Martyn
This is probably one of the best cottages we have stayed in. The location is amazing and if you want to get away from it all this is the place. We have a slightly nervous and reactive dog and this was perfect for him with excellent walks on the doorstep. The cottage was homely and well equiped. We wish we could have stayed longer than 7days and will certain return again.
Alistair
Fatastic house in a beautiful isolated spot ideally located for exploring Snowdonia National Park, at the base of Cadr Idris.
Barthold
A wonderful house in a wonderful region
Johanna
Wow!! What an incredible place! A stunning location with eye watering views and interesting walks from all angles. With the most comfortable beds in a very beautiful, spacious, thoughtfully equipped cottage. Walking distance to the local town was 30 minutes through stunning windy paths. We absolutely loved it! Thank you.
Kelly
This is by far the best cottage we have stayed in, the location is perfect if you want peace and tranquility, it stands alone surrounded by beautiful scenery, the cottage is extremely clean and is very well equipped with everything you will need for your stay, the beds are super comfortable so you are guaranteed a good night sleep. There are walks straight from the door which were perfect for when my Husband took himself off to the Mach Loop. Would we stay here again, absolutely, we didnâ??t want to leave after our two weeks!
Victor
Brilliant location but a very difficult track up to the cottage so real caution needed in places.
Rhodri
A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Perfect for exploring the Dolgellau area.
Ian
What a fabulous find! It snowed whilst we were there, it was a picture perfect winter wonderland. The area is wild and wonderful, log fire perfect for cozying in, Dolgellau fab bakery, walks to Penmaenpool a must. Overall, one of the best places we have ever stayed in, would love to come back as part of our country we know too little of. Thank you
Alexander
Great location, very comfortable with stunning views
Sophie
Fantastic cottage ! It has everything you need, the view is fabulous, the surrounding is so quiet and you can walk from the cottage. We had a perfect week !
Margaret Ruth
Five of us stayed for a special occasion and loved the house and the surroundings. Very good information beforehand and extremely comfortable and well-equipped, and also a welcome food basket. Once the low cloud had dissipated we had the most wonderful views and walks.
Jordon
Great place to stay with some amenities just 2 miles away in a small farmers village with several great pubs for food and a proper local butchers as well as an amazing bakery. Views from the house were spectacular and was even better at night and early morning.
Michael
A wonderful cottage in an idyllic and remote location. Stunning views and walks from the cottage door, or within 10 minutes drive. The cottage itself was spotless and very well equipped and comfortable for a family holiday. The sky at night here is staggering due the location. We are biased as we love the Dolgellau area, T H Roberts, the Stag inn, craft cooperative etc in Dolgellau and cycle trails nearby. Then return to the cosy fire in Llwyniarth and star gazing.
John
Fabulous spacious cottage in an amazing peaceful location. Lots of space and the cottage is very well maintained and modern. We spent a lovely Christmas and very much enjoyed our stay.
