"This is a lovely cottage with stunning countryside views from the lounge and kitchen window. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. My only negative would be that the mattresses need changing on the beds. Its nicely decorated with plenty of room. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the ground floor with a open plan kitchen, dining table and lounge on the first floor. A bottle of wine, chocolates, welsh cakes and a bara brith cake greeted us upon arrival. In the area there is a Tesco extra which is about a 5 to 10 minute drive away. Also Harveys an American restaurant is next to Tesco and Mc Donalds close by. Would definitely recommend Zip World, Portmeirion and the steam train ride from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog. There is so much to do in North Wales with unspolit countryside and stunning waterfalls. We had a lovely time and would love to return one day."

"WoW! what an amazing venue and location! We booked The Ridge for a special family event and it did not disappoint. It was above expectations and they were already high from viewing the brochures and google maps! The house is immense and beautifully furnished and appointed with solid and stylish furniture. The rooms are huge and comfortable. The house was spotless clean and uncluttered. All of that pales into insignificance when you see the views! Every room looks over the sea on on to Snowdonia National Park. Huge windows and a number of patios and balconies and the jetty all allowed us to feel we were at one with the scenery - boats bobbing by, the tide coming in and out, the weather rolling in and out. Magnificent! lovely pub to walk to either on the road or the beach ( time it right!). local shops and towns a short drive away. Super beaches a short drive away."

"This was a comfortable house to stay in but we found the mattresses uncomfortable and the lighting throughout inadequate. My son's room had no bedside table or bedside light. The fridge was only partly equipped with no shelving on the door so we had to take trays out to put bottles in. There was no welcome pack so we had to call up for the wifi code. On the second day the wifi stopped working altogether. The bedrooms could use a chair to put clothes on, and the kitchen could do with some wooden spoons as we cooked in. Most importantly, the directions given to get to the cottage weren't specific enough. There is no name on the property at all, and we arrived at night. The contact was nice enough to come out and guide us in! Nice house, just a few points to work on."

"I stayed at Ynys Wen with 5 family members in April. It was a very comfortable let, and we enjoyed our stay. It was quite cold, as it snowed on the mountains on our first night there, and I'm pleased to say the heating worked very well. Some of us were from the Southern Hemisphere and needed a bit of warmth! The lounges were both very comfortable. However, the remote for the DVD player in the main lounge did not work, which made it a bit inconvenient. I also had a problem with the shower in the main bathroom. I could only get hot or cold water, nothing in between. I'd also suggest some shelves for toiletries in the showers and bathrooms. The WiFi coverage was spotty, as soon as more than one device was connected. Otherwise, lovely."

"The house is clean, comfortable and well-decorated, and Mr and Mrs Farrall were excellent hosts. The personal welcome and guided tour of the house from Mrs Farrall, plus welcome pack, made us feel very much at home, and we were impressed that Mr Farrall very kindly came round and changed the bathroom light for us when the lightbulb went. Gwalchmai is a quiet village but is in easy reach by car of the North Wales coast and all parts of Anglesey, so it is a good base for a family holiday. We found plenty to do even on the rainy days. The local supermarkets at Llangefni are easy to get to by car, and for papers, milk, bread and other everyday supplies, the local shop is easy to walk to. I would recommend this property for a family holiday."
