Reviews

Beautiful old property that has a lovely feeling to it, in an excellent location.

Mr L,

Fantastic location for exploring the local area. The views from the cottage are beautiful- great for sitting in the garden to watch the sunset. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. The cottage is old but clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a great family holiday.

Mrs A,

lovely welcome enough for a cup of tea and a piece of bara brith. the garden was stunning no need to leave the cottage i could of sat in the garden all week but we filled the week with places to go which could of been done with or without an anorak

Mrs L,

Fantastic holiday staying in Taicroesion. We walked easily into Barmouth most days, along the beach. The homemade Bara Brith was actually to die for. We tried others during our trip but nothing compared to the homemade one left for us in the cottage. The cottage and gardens were amazing. Traditional farmhouse with all mod cons with some many characteristics features. The garden had some many nooks and crannies to it, it's was exciting to explore it. The house was exceptionally clean. All the rooms were a good size too. The beach across the road was great for dog walks and also went swimming. Lovely sandy beach when tide is out. Lovely to meet Gareth, the owner. Such a lovely man. Highly recommend this property.

Mrs S,

Lovely views, perfect spot for beach. Beautiful walks from there. Very old cottage with all mod cons .

Mrs R,

it was one of the most wonderful cottages my husband and i have ever stayed in. it was like going back in time but with everything you would ever need for a modern stay large tv modern instant heating witch we dident need cos the lovely big log burner was more than enough. the garden was amazing our little dog loved it and the most safest dog garden we have ever seen. glass wine watching the sunset over the sea will stay with me for ever. My husband is Welsh and stated it was the best Bara Brith [ Welsh Cake ] he has ever eaten.

Mrs P,

Beautiful property in a stunning location, the views from every window were amazing! The property was very well equipped and wonderfully clean. We had a lovely week and would look to go back again.

Ms D,

Map

This detached coastal cottage is located in Llanaber, 1 mile from Barmouth on the North Wales coast and just a 5 minute walk to an amazing blue flag beach. Conveniently close to Barmouth (shops, restaurants etc), the cottage also benefits from having one foot in the countryside, with walks leading to the hills from the doorstep.

And then you have Mawddach Way, including the beautiful Barmouth Bridge crossing that can be joined 1 mile away. It has been said that there is "no better walk than from Barmouth through to Dolgellau other than from Dolgellau to Barmouth". The views of the Snowdonia mountains sweeping down to the Mawddach estuary are phenomenal, an experience not to be missed, especially at sunset.

10 miles north along the coast is the picturesque village of Harlech with its nationally and internationally renowned golf course in a breathtaking setting, dominated by the brooding presence of Harlech Castle. For keen mountain bikers, the world renowned Coed y Brenin mountain biking centre is also within 10 miles.

The ferry crossing from Barmouth to Fairbourne and the steam train at Fairbourne offers another great day out, just minutes from Taicroesion cottage. If you have time, the Italian village of Portmeirion is also worth a visit and with Snowdonia National Park being so close, a walk to the top of Snowdon could well be on the cards.
