Perfect, relaxing week in a home away from home.

Pros: The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful location on a working sheep farm. Walks all around. The hosts cannot do enough for you but also respect your privacy. The cottage is well furnished and very cosy and comfortable.

Perfect getaway.

Pros: Perfect location with amazing views. Lovely owners and great property.

Cons: All good.

Pros: Fantastic for anyone with a dog as very dog friendly. Beautiful view from the house of open fields and sheep and newborn lambs! Excellent central location but peaceful as off main road. Wonderfully warm and wonderful welcoming gifts by the owners (bottle of Prosecco and Welsh produce, cakes and butter) and a box of chocolates, went above and beyond. The poperty was well equipped and fantastically clean.

Cons: Open access outside front door - as a working farm it could be dangerous with a dog if the dog ran out or a small child. Easily put a gate in the small courtyard to make this more secure. Fedback to the owner at the end of the stay and they have previously put interim gates on both sides but we didn't think to inform them to do so. A permanent fixture would be better as everytime the dog needed a wee (first thing in the morning, last thing at night, we had to put him on the lead and stand or walk back and forth in the small outside grassed/patio area as there are no gates to secure him to be out on his own).

A wonderful week - lots to do for three generations of family. We could have stayed twice as long.

Pros: Extraordinary location - the Rhinog mountains behind you, views of Cardigan bay to the West, and rolling Snowdonia all around. The landscape is very varied: within 2 miles of the house are mountains, bronze-age stone circles, moorland, lush old-growth woodland, river valleys and huge sandy beaches. It is national parkland so the footpaths are quite well maintained, but we found them almost unwalked, as people drive past to climb Snowdon instead. The cottage is well-equipped for cooking - a spacious kitchen and details that are often forgotten like sufficient mixing bowls and a peeler. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. Mr and Mrs Evans, on whose organic farm the property sits, are very kind: they took care to make sure we were ok, and took our washing in one day when it rained.

Cons: Nothing from my point of view. My teenagers said they couldn't get Netflix to work on the big tv, though we saw this as a bonus.
