Reviews

The owners work hard to ensure the cottage is just right. They even ensure that there are enough daily items for everyone staying.

Mr O,

The cottage is stunning, and so is the surroundings! I have never seen a better equipped kitchen before in a holiday home. This place is a real treat!

Mrs I,

A fantastic property in a truly beautiful part of Wales. We will certainly be back to this property in the future.

Mr P,

This is such a beautiful property and the owner has been very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The property has more than the basic things you need and the extra pillows, blankets are such a bonus! The view surrounding the property is breath taking and we also enjoyed bird watching from the sun lounge.

Mrs L,

Best equipped holiday cottage I've ever stayed in, everything you could need was there. Hosts were helpful and friendly. Views were amazing. Watching the various birds feeding was a delight. Being on the edge of the mach loop was a bonus we saw a number of jets flying over on their low flight training. We would definitely return.

Mrs S,

We had a very pleasant stay at this accommodation. Everything was there (e.g. spices to cook), as well as cleaning products, toilet paper and thank you for the gifts and the nice phonecall on arrival. The surroundings are stunning and there are a lot of birds in the garden, which is really nice, but guests should be aware that it is very remote and 30 minutes to the nearest village. We had a really nice time in a clean and really nice cottage with a lot of rooms.

Mrs V,

it was a very well equipped cottage in a lovely setting couldn't of asked for anything better.

Miss G,

wonderful owners,beautiful, peaceful place to relax, the view is breathtaking,I recommend it with all my heart.

Mrs R,

Our second stay at this wonderful cottage. It was just as delightful on our return trip and my favourite of all the holiday cottages we've ever stayed in. It goes without saying that we'll be back to stay in the future.

Mr T,

Absolute stunning location with unparalleled views in a small village. Depending on the weather the landscape was changing all the time. The cottage itself is homely and the best equipped property we have ever stayed in. The sun room at the rear was really comfortable and it was a joy to watch the varied bird life visiting the garden.

Mr T,

Overall 100% satisfied. I have no negative comments to make. Host was super. surrounded with lots of natural beauty. great place either to stay away from home spend few relaxing days or drive around to enjoy natural beauty. We had a great stay.

Mr S,

Map

This detached holiday cottage, Snowdonia National Park is located in the small, rural hamlet of Llanymawddwy and enjoys beautiful, open views across fields and mountains. Close to the foot of Aran Fawddwy, the highest mountain in Southern Snowdonia and near the highest pass in Wales which leads to Vyrnwy and Bala lakes with their wide range of watersports.

Dinas Mawddwy (4 miles) offers a lovely village pub / restaurant along with a Visitor shop/café. A further 2 miles brings you to the village of Mallwyd with a small grocery shop/Post office/Garage for fuel. At the other side of the highest pass in Wales, there is also another highly recommended pub / restaurant at Tafarn yr Eagles Inn, Llanuwchllyn near Bala (8.5 miles).

Maesmor holiday cottage, Snowdonia National Park is also central to three beautiful market towns; Dolgellau (13 miles), Bala (14 miles) and Machynlleth (17 miles). They are all worth a visit and offer a good range of shops and plenty of good restaurants, including ‘Y Meirionnydd’ in Dolgellau, ‘Number Twenty One’ in Machynlleth, ‘Cross Foxes’ and ‘Bwyty Mawddach’, both near Dolgellau. There is also a lovely café that offers free wifi at Dolgellau, called T.H.Roberts, Parliament House.

Amongst the range of things to do during your stay at Maesmor, the mountain walk over Aran Fawddwy is highly recommended – with the added bonus of having a village pub to welcome you at both ends. If you enjoy walking, Aran Benllyn and Cadair Idris also offer popular mountain walks. For a more relaxing day out, sit back and enjoy the views on Bala Lake Railway or the narrow gauge railway at Talyllyn. Snowdonia National Park has also been awarded the 'International Dark Sky Reserve' status and Bwlch y Groes Pass, (just 2 miles from the cottage) has been rated as one of the best places for 'star-gazing' within the National Park. Grid Reference SH 913232.

Other recommended days out include the RSPB Centre at Lake Vyrnwy, the Centre for Alternative Technology, Coed-y-Brenin mountain biking centre and Go Ape’s tree top adventures. The Dyfi Osprey Project and the Museum of Modern Art in Machynlleth are also worth a visit and if you have time, travel the Cambrian Coast Railway from Machynlleth to Pwllheli – one of the most scenic railway routes in the world.
