“Llety'r Bugail, Dolgellau” Llety'r Bugail is a fantastic property set right on the uplands above Dolgellau, with fabulous views over Cadair Idris and the mountain ranges. It was beautifully clean, well equipped and, more than anything else, dry! The North Welsh weather let us down for the first time ever, but since this was about our 40th trip, it is hardly indicative of what one can normally expect. The area was beautifully quiet, with few but very friendly neighbours, and there was enough wildlife to keep the most ardent of naturalists quiet for a goodly while. As a result of little or no light pollution, particularly late at night, the night skies were absolutely outstanding, and the provision of patio furniture enhanced the experience. There are plenty of shops nearby to assuage the hunger of all but the greediest of tourists, and the cottage is a great centre for exploring all of Gwynedd and beyond. We had a superb week, and greatly enjoyed what was provided. As an added bonus, the blackberry bushes were in full fruit, so the resultant pies/crumbles were a joy to behold, and something that the supermarket didn't supply. (Mind you, they did provide the custard!) All round, an excellent place to get away from the lunatic world we all live in, and recharge the addled brain.

“Fantastic views, Really felt we were in the heart of Wales.” The service was fine, we could phone the owner for information or her eggs. We were never intruded upon, but felt she was there to help if need be, give local info about restaurants or beaches. We liked the home, it had a cottage feel with all mod cons including a washing machine in an outhouse. The only snag about the beds was that my daughter [45 yrs] slept on the spare bed in the double bedroom. She found it incredibly hard and woke up stiff and painful. She didn't want to share the double bed with me, found me disturbing [up in the night.] We had to go a few miles into Betswy Coed for food, but the Spar there had everything we wanted and stayed open late every day so shopping was not a problem. The distance to all the different mountains took quite a while to get to, the situation was good, but perhaps not quite as central as we would have liked. Not a big deal really, but we only had a week and we wanted to do so much, a lot of our time was travelling. I liked the views over such a vast skyline of hills and the lovely wild flowers, streams and walks straight from the house. We didn't like sky television, couldn't see the programmes we wanted, they couldn't be found. The boys liked the peace of the place - they had come from the busy city of Shanghai, but being boys, they wanted to play football and found the garden a bit too small for that. I don't think they were too impressed with the games room, but as we were out most of time, these issues were minor. I know they enjoyed their holiday immensely, they had wanted to go to Wales for a long time and they reffered to the fields, the sheep, the beaches and their different hikes many times when they got back to my home. They wrote and thanked me warmly when they went back to Shanghai.

“Very good” The bungalow was lovely and clean and comfortable although our dog didn't like the laminate flooring as his legs splayed! Weather was awful (torrential rain and gale force winds almost non-stop from arrival) so only one day we could actually see the beautiful view. We left on the Thursday instead of staying the full week but that was no reflection on the bungalow at all, really was home from home with all the white goods readily available. Overall would like to re-visit one day if only we could guarantee the weather!!

“Value for money in the Welsh countryside” Friendly greeting from Farmer's wife next door. Property was ideal for large family group (3 generations from teenage to 60s). Lots of bathrooms and different areas. Very popular was the hot tub and games room. Farmer drove us up the local Mountain and we walked back down. It may be too remote for some but was ideal for us

“Where mountains meet the sea” We had a wonderfull time in this house. A part of our holiday we stayed with our 3 teenagers. 1 week another family of five(friends) stayed with us. The house is comfortable, has very nice views (sea and mountains) The housekeeper is friendly and is helpfull if anything is not working. The walks on the beach-Shell Island, from the house to the hills and the Snowdon region will stay in our remembrance.

“a relaxing experience” Knowing the area extremily well and just wanting a quiet winter half term break with our five and six year olds, we were far from disappointed with Hen argoed. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Loved the history of the cottage with its modern amenities. As we experienced fab weather for February, the view at the top of the lane in a morning, and out of the bathroom window(on tip toes) set you up for the day. Can't fault it and wouldn't hesitate in going again or recommending.

“great location” what a great place to stay. The conversion is worth 9/10, everything you need. Great place to visit north wales, would recommend it to anyone

“Everything you could wish for” Everything about this cottage was perfect. It was beautifully furnished and such a great size. We stayed here for a family get together with 8 adults. Kitchen and dining area very spacious and great for socialising. Utility room to wash and dry our hiking gear. A fabulous downstairs bathroom and a great living room with a huge TV. Lovely area outside - not warm enough for us to sit outside but can imagine how nice it would be in summer. I took so many things I simply didn't need so it was like being home from home. Very clean and tidy upon arrival. would definitely go again. Gwynn, the owners son was extremely friendly and informative. It was nice to see the photos of how the barn was developed.

“Llwyngwril” Bungalow with car parking driveway, situated on sparsely frequented main road between Fairbourne and Twyn and ideally placed for accessing scenic tourist spots surrounding the Cader Idris massif. Good views of the Irish Sea and the Lleyn Peninsula. Only five minutes walk to local pebble peach where sea otters and porpoises may be seen in the spring and summer of the year. Pleasant neighbours abut the property.

“Peaceful ,comfortable, ideal location for visiting Snowdonia.” We were greeted with welsh cakes they were scrumptious. Although we were told the water was from a spring and may be discolored, we could taste nothing different to our own tap water. we felt that we were catered for in every way and would recommend this cottage to any one and everyone. We would like to say a really big thank you to the owners,they did us proud. The cottage is located 3 miles from Llanbedr, down some narrow country lanes, it is off the beaten track really quiet, it is also very cosy and warm. Brian & Patricia Farthing / Alan & Julie Frost

“A perfect get-away-from-it-all cottage!” The cottage was very well-equipped and decorated to a high standard. There was an excellent personal welcome from the owner. There were great views from the garden (when not misty!) We would definitely be happy to return one day.

“We all had a superb stay, enjoying everything the owners offered” We were very well lokked after from the moment we arrived until we left. The cottage was lovely, ideal for 2 people. Maintained to a very good standard with everything that we needed. The hosts gave us such a lovely welcome pack and superb service.We loved the most informative Welcome Pack with very accurate walk details. The hosts certainly go that extra mile to ensure you have a most enjoyable stay!

“Great place to stay!” Really lovely cottage, which although is on a main road, when inside you don't hear the traffic at all. Nothing negative to say - nice beds, nice facilities, nice kitchen, great log burner... a really well presented place. And a great location from which to explore snowdonia. 10 out of 10!

“Fell in love with Pensarn Hall.” Had a wonderful time staying here, clean,warm, and very comforable,all kitchen equipment supplied, absolutely loved it, didnt want to leave Central for all the places we wanted to visit. My only little ctiticism would be, that it wasn't sign posted and we had terrible trouble finding it, had to go and ask in the shop.

“Super holiday” Super cottage and a wonderfully peaceful holiday. We have already booked for next year. Kind regards Marilyn and Peter Billingham

“Perfect Location” Beautiful experience in a great location , we can't wait to go back and retrace our week in Borth y gest . Accomodation first class with every consideration catered for , and right on the coastal walk route with amazing views . A short walk in to Porthmadoc and a short drive to many small but beautiful towns , you won't be disappointed

“Breathtaking Luxury, a great family break!” Fabulous house and grounds, very excellent helpfull staff. Local pub has great staff and food.

“Delightful bolthole in beautiful setting” This traditional Welsh cottage was located just a stones throw from the beach and harbour. We were spoilt for choice as to which stunning beach or woodland walk to take each day as there were so many beautiful destinations within easy reach on foot. The cottage is attractive, cosy, compact, comfortable, welcoming and well equipped. Pretty and enclosed front and back gardens enabled us to sit out and enjoy the sun at both the beginning and end of the day.
