  • Lynn

    The welcome gift of wine, bread and milk was much appreciated. Cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We did think the cottage needed some t l c and we did find that the front bedroom window is locked and could not be opened. Cottage is in a good location for visiting the surrounding area and attractions.

  • Sheree

    Every home comfort you could wish for. All in all a very nice and enjoyable stay and would recommend to all.

  • Helen

    Easy to find thanks to the detailed directions from the owner. A good base for exploring the area, such as Barmouth, Harlech and the Centre for Alternative Technology. We would recommend the Mermaid fish and chips in Barmouth and the George III restaurant.
