Great Location great hosts.

The quality of the property was of the standard to meet all of our needs. The stand out point for us was the open communication with the owners. Learning from past experiences, having the reassurances that if needed help, support and advice were available. 5 star indeed. Dave and Jayne and Hector.

Amazing Trip

Lovely property in a quiet area , close to beach and amazing views. Waking up in the morning to sound of sheep grazing and little to no car noise was fantastic. Just note that mobile phone signal at the house was next to non-existant but there was WiFi at the property which mitigated for this.

A great stay

We loved our time here. Although the weather wasn’t great, we enjoyed wonderful walks on the beach - particularly crossing the bridge to Barmouth. The hills behind the house are beautiful too, and the whole area is just lovely. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the novelty of having a record player - so much so that we’ve come home and bought one! I left something behind and Eloise kindly offered to post it back to me too. We’d definitely return!

Perfect holiday home

We have had the best week at this holiday home. House was beautiful, clean and spacious with everything needed. Perfect for the dog and really secure, lovely walks on the sea front and mostly dog friendly beaches. The hot tub was divine after walking on the beaches for hours! It’s is a 10 minute walk to the beach in either direction with stunning scenery everywhere. The village of Fairbourne has lots of amenities, the chippy is great and the bar and grill is lovely for a meal. We went on a day trip or two and took the train to Barmouth which was really cheap and lovely. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Thank you Eloise for making us feel welcome and looked after.

As advertised lovely cottage in Snowdonia

This was a perfect little getaway, the cottage had everything we needed just remember to take own towels. The owner called us day before to remind us, great communication. Location fab we walked to local train station and then took train and ferry to Barmouth which was a lovely day out. The next day was cloudy so read through the information owner had kindly left and decided to visit the Magic lantern cinema which was great experience. The hot tub was definitely what attracted us to stay here and it was everything we hoped for, lovely garden and when sun out it was just perfect. I would highly recommend this property to anyone you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much would love to visit again

Really beautifully located cosy cottage with gorgeous big hot tub

Lovely and clean little cottage with open fire. Only 10 mins walk to a beautiful beach and 6 mins walk to train station - then 10 minutes train journey to Barmouth which is a lot quicker than the drive around the estuary. Great location for walks in the hills or on beaches. Host was wonderful - got in touch to explain checking in and recommended local places to visit and eat.
