Reviews

Beautiful cottage on a gorgeous working farm, It was great to meet the cows and sheep! The hot tub was really appreciated after taking in some of the local hikes and we also really enjoyed visiting the local heritage railway. We will definitely be back!

Mrs J,

Found this place perfect for us. It was very clean and well equipped. The hot tub was perfect at the end of a long day.

Ms A,

A beautiful cottage in a stunning and peaceful location. The owners were really friendly and helpful.

Mrs D,

We had a lovely 3 night break at the property, which is stocked with everything you need for your stay. The owners were welcoming and very thoughtful, bringing a toy digger for our one year old to borrow. He absolutely loved playing with it, and we really appreciated the kind gesture. Having the cot, stair gates, and high chair helped enormously, and being able to use the hot tub was a lovely bonus. Would definitely recommend this property to others.

Mrs C,

Rural cottage with stunning views of mountains and down to sea. Good location to explore the southern part of Snowdonia national park.

Mrs A,

A lovely warm welcome, a superbly located property with everything we needed and all spotlessly clean. Couple this with such wonderful scenery and you couldn't really ask for more.

Mr C,

What a beautiful home in a stunning location! Super clean home with everything you need. Fabulous walks, stunning views. Perfect for all the family, 100% can’t wait to come back!!

Mrs B,

Lovely property with beautiful views. Very friendly owners.

Mrs A,

We loved Isgubor y Waun, at first sight. It is surrounded by fields, with mountains beyond and a view of the sea and coastline. The house is equipped with everything one could possibly need. Mrs Davies, the owner, called in to welcome us and left us a welcome gift of bread, eggs, milk and delicious lemon cake. The hot tub was a fun addition and well used, at the end of our days out. The children loved being invited to see the week old calf, with her mother. We are three generations and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. It was hard to say goodbye.

Mrs B,

Lovely location. Surrounded by fields and mountains. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Mr John C,
