Top Cottage Reviews

Top Cottage has been beautifully renovated and modernised There are 50 steps ... Top Cottage has been beautifully renovated and modernised There are 50 steps but the views from the lounge and bedrooms are lovely and staying on ''The Rock'' or Old Town is so worth it I recommend walking up to the hill behind and the various viewpoints Dinas Oleu, Frenchman's Grave, Cae Fadog, 100 Steps, and across to the Panarama Viewpoint in one direction and Gelfachan abandoned village and the Welsh Flag Viewpoint in the other Top Cottage and Barmouth I would happily recommend
I had a lovely stay in Top Cottage in February. The location is great, tucked away from the noise of the road with an elevated view of the estuary. The main bed was so amazingly comfortable I wish I had looked at the make of the mattress! The twin beds would be better suited for kids as they are a little more insubstantial, but it would make a really cosy place for a family break. Great walks and food places nearby and loads of TV streaming options and games for a rainy day.

Well equipped and the lounge and views were beautiful. There needs to be more information regarding the steps. There wasn't enough fuel for our 3 night stay, there was a small bin bag full of ice cubes in the freezer, which I thought was disgusting. When we stripped the bed there was stains on the mattress protector, not nice to see and not from us!!
A lovely cosy cottage, fantastic views and so much character, it was a lovely place to stay.
