Ineke P., Jul 2026, Netherlands 🇳🇱
De cottage was comfortabel en van alle gemakken voorzien. We hebben niets gemist. Gewoon genoten van ons verblijf in prachtig Snowdonia.
De dagelijkse bezoekjes van de poes - Mrs. Lloyd - maakten het extra leuk.
We hebben gezwommen in de rivier vakbij de waterval. Heel koud, maar een schitterend plekje!
Er was niets dat ons niet beviel.
(De steile, smalle weg vanuit Bontddu naar het huis was - vooral de eerste keren - wel een uitdaging...!)

We had the most wonderful week. The cottage is in the perfect location, surrounded by beautiful hills and walks but a short driving distance to local amenities. Cottage was clean, cosy and in an idyllic setting to enjoy Welsh countryside. Kids loved going on local adventures. Some great pubs in the vicinity. Will be sure to book again.
Very good

Lovely quiet location. Hardly saw a soul. There were 5 of us so having 2 bathrooms was an asset. It’s well equipped and cosy. Firestick on the tv so able to watch Netflix etc with our own login .Lots of walks locally and only 15 minutes to Dolgellau with all the shopping facilities. Flowers and welcome pack a lovely touch.
