Absolutely gorgeous location to stay, who could say no to waking up, walking out of the bedroom to see out the large windows at the sea. Doesn't get any better than that. Seeing the sunset of a night time with a nice drink, food and some good music or tv. I can't honestly say anything bad about this place it was an absolutely wonderful holiday that we both missed as soon as we left and had been at our happiest enjoying everything this place had to offer. What can i say but THIS PLACE IS WORTH STAYING AT. Mick and Jan were so welcoming and made us feel at home. 100000000/10 love this place and will be going again.

Magical setting on a hillside farm overlooking the sea. Walking distance from the beautiful town of Barmouth and easy access to fantastic hikes. We did the Panorama Trail, which was specatcular. Mick and Jan are lovely and have fully equipped the cottage.

What a great stay I had here. Beautiful sea view,and really Jan and Mike made sure everything was cared for in the cottage. Even the smallest details were thought of. Every morning I walked to the beach with my dogs,and every evening I could see the sunset from the cottage. I came to Snowdonia for the national park,but because of the holiday everything there was booked.That’s how I came here. But I was so glad I did,even if it meant I had to drive for an hour every day. But coming back to the quiet cabin with sea view and all the animals was just perfect. Thank you Jan and Mike

Only gave the location 5 stars as I couldn't give it 20. Very nice place great views. Animals next door. The Barn was converted to a high standard and the beds are very comfortable. The owners were very attentive but not intrusive. Very relaxing stay.

Myself, my wife and our springer spaniel had a lovely relaxing few days here. Stunning location with magnificent sea views. Only a short walk to the beach and Barmouth. The accomodation was immaculately clean. Fresh eggs were available from the chickens that you could help yourself to. The hosts were available should you need them but left us alone to enjoy our time. Would have no hesitation in recommending. We booked another stay whilst there.

What an utterly beautiful place, with absolutely lovely owners. If you’re looking for a hub to explore from then come back to stunning views, this is it. I was so impressed with the owners attention to detail - all our needs and wants were met, the house was immaculate and they don’t charge extra for 2 or less dogs! We also really loved the horses, ducks, chickens, dogs and sheep!
