A group of 10 of us travelled from Newcastle under lyme to do Newborough Forest parkrun and climb Snowdon. Cottage was absolutely stunning. Immaculate, cosy and with everything you need. Just perfect.

Wow

This was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed at. Spotlessly clean, modern with old world charm and comfortable. Beautiful views from the garden where we enjoyed our breakfast every morning. The hosts have thought of everything to make our stay the best it could be. Very well placed for touring around and within walking distance of a fab pub. Perfect for us all and our 2 dogs. If you are thinking of booking you absolutely won’t be disappointed 😊

A perfect base for exploring the area.

The house was warm, comfortable and very well equipped. Our party of six (spanning three generations and from ages 1 to 70-something) all felt very much at home. When the weather allowed we really appreciated the picnic bench in the garden and the fabulous views across the valley that it afforded. And when the weather was less accommodating, the house was a cosy refuge with plenty to keep us all entertained. And of course the area is stunning with more to do than we could possibly fit in a week. I hope we’ll be able to return soon.

Ultramarathon/weekend with friends

Our group consisted 2 families who stayed for the weekend. The cottage is amazing, especially for families for whom it is very well catered with lots of books and games and secret spaces to play in. Also really well stocked with a plentiful supply of crockery, kitchen supplies etc, great communal spaces and a lovely garden. 2 of our group did an ultramarathon on the Saturday so didn’t get to spend as much time in the cottage as we would have liked, but it was a welcome place to return to after a long day out and I would love to return and spend more time there.

Oh my gosh!! This place exceeded all expectations!! It was amazing, like a tardis with amazing spaces around every corner! Beautiful extremely well equipped kitchen, great living room and seating area, lovely big garden for the summer (it rained the whole time we were there) perfect location for start of walking Snowdon only 20 mins away, as was a beautiful beach. Communication was great! Honestly couldn’t rave about this place enough!!

Unbelievable-Stunning-Unique

Just book it! That's my best advice! Six of us, who travel together often around the world, stayed at TYW for a week and from the moment we set foot in the cottage, spent a week talking about how much we love it there. The scenery is amazing and the walks on the footpaths down the road (each way) were full of vistas, sheep and mountains that are beyond picturesque. The house itself is a perfect base for exploring Snowdonia and all of North Wales. Angharad was terrific to work with. She even found us a chef to come into the cottage and cook for our friend's 50th birthday celebration (I highly recommend Justin. Ask Angharad about this). Angharad's recommendations for walks off the beaten path, restaurants and little day trips were perfect and she was more than happy to oblige. She was probably one of the most responsive VRBO owners I've ever dealt with. On some rainy mornings, we sat around the living room which is just loaded with comfort. The snug, the bedrooms and the incredibly large and well appointed kitchen made this house unique, homey and it is full of little decorations that had us constantly saying "we didn't notice this yesterday". I highly recommend this house and this area for your vacation.

Lovely place, poor communication

Booking this cottage was so easy and Angharad was so nice and welcoming in her first emails. Unfortunately this has changed when we needed a warmer cottage. After the first night, I had to call Angharad because it was really cold in the cottage and, as per the visitors information file, I have called to ask if we can do something about this. We also had a pregnat women in our group and she said that when she checked the thermostat at night as she was so cold that she could not sleep, the heating was off. The radiators from the bathrooms or bedrooms were allways off and the only source of heating was the wood burner from the living room, which was used only during the day therefore not really helpful. When I called and asked for a solution to our problem, Angharad was just telling me about how this could not be possible, because in 5 years no one made a complaint about this and she can check the temperature in the house and its impossible for us to not like the temperature. After keep trying to explain that it is not a good temperature for us and she kept interrupting me, I had to talk over her so that I can finish my sentence but guess what... she hung up on me. She emailed me later telling me that the best she can do is to set the temperature on 20 degrees at night and 23 during the day and if this is not enough we are free to leave and she will make a full refund. I would have left in that minute just because how disrespectful and unhelpful the owner was but after planning this holiday with my friends and familly with various activities, if we would have left we would lose another full day (at least) to find a house for 8 people, therefore we stayed and tried to do the best with what we had. We noticed that at night, the temperature was still at 18 degrees during our stay but at this point, I knew she will just not help us and tell us that our preferences do not matter as other guests never complained about the temperature. In our first day, we were happy that the parking has cameras and our car will be safe but it appears this is used to monitor when you get home and when you are leaving, as the owner was able to tell me the exact hour when we came back from lunch, so if you don't care for privacy this should not be an issue. The house is indeed fully equipped and it is a lovely place to spend time with family and friends. It is also close to a lot of fun and beautiful places( which we have visited) But our experience with the owner...-_-

Sadly, a vindictive review, [guests can basically write what they like and as long as it's their 'opinion' despite the fact that she has no evidence to support it] She got caught out (lets face it - totally busted!!!) trying to claim the cottage was cold (it was 23 degrees - we have remote nest monitors) whilst the heating was on full blast and the door was left wide open! (They were actually sitting on the threshold having a cup of tea when we drove by!!!). It was just plane silly and probably a ploy to get a discount. We gave them the option of going as I'm not into playing games and I don't appreciate guests ringing me in such a passive aggressive manner, she sounded very well practiced and is obviously used to getting her way! They were was a group of eight young adults. I suggest you scroll past and read all our previous reviews before and after! Strangely we have opted not to host them again - but would like other hosts to be aware of her behaviour. The rest of the group were fine.

Beautiful cottage

Beautiful maze of a cottage, stunning views! Everything you could ever need is provided, lots of space and the children said it was the best house for playing hide and seek haha! Caernarfon is only a 10 minute drive away and Bangor 20 minutes. Only a Small shop nearby but only sells the necessities so a car is definitely needed if staying here. The kitchen is beautifully set out for family meals and entertaining, the children loved staying here, especially in the crog loft! Thank you angharad and Matt for a lovely stay and for always being on hand for any questions! Hope to stay again one day :-)

Wonderful Retreat Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage. It has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. the layout is very spacious yet every room felt warm and cozy. The kitchen dining area is the best equipped one I have every stayed in. Wake up to stunning views and enjoy a cuppa in the comfy window seat.

a perfect cottage for our perfect family holiday

This cottage was beautifully appointed yet retained a charming quaintness. It comfortably accommodated 6 adults and 2 children, and my grand-kids loved the attic room, which has been organized for children. We spent a lot of family time in the lovely kitchen with its spectacular vies of nearby hills. Angharad, who owns the cottage, was readily reached and provided ready support when needed. The cottage is also located in Waunfawr which was within easy reach of Caernarfon, Zipworld sites, Greenwood Family Farm, Anglesey and Snowdonia Mountain train. In short, I would recommend this cottage to any family or friends planning to visit North Wales.

Beautiful Cottage in the most Beautiful Surroundings.

This was our first experience holidaying with vrbo.com and it’s been a great one. Our hosts were incredibly helpful, the cottage absolutely stunning, the photos only give a glimpse of its character. The surrounding area is beautiful. We ventured to Beddgelert, Portmadog, Pwllheli, Caernarfon, Anglesey, Portmeirion and the summit of Snowdon while staying. After not being able to holiday together for over 2 years, we had the most amazing stay, unforgettable memories made! We were sad to leave and hope to return. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

We had a truly magical time at the cottage. It is ideally located to explore the mountains as well as the coast line. The cottage is spacious, luxurious and one can feel the love that was put into it. Communication with Angharad was superb. We hope we can stay there again at one point.

3 generation holiday

An exceptionally well equipped property with flexible sleeping arrangements that appealed to our primary school and teenage children. It was also easy to keep our dog within the appropriate areas of the house and garden. Angharad was a great host and very quick to respond to any questions we had. The area lends itself perfectly to a multi activity holiday - we often did different activities during the day and ate together at home in the evening. Beach, mountains, pretty villages, castles, zip wires and Surf Snowdonia are all within easy reach - it diesn’t Get better than this.

Stop scrolling. Book this cottage!

Hands down best rental cottage we’ve ever stayed in. From having everything you need to the gorgeous decor and layout (quirky and fun!) this cottage is just a delight. The view from the window seat is spectacular. Our 12yo loved relaxing in the Croft room, watching films and chilling out with a book. The deep bath (and wall mural) was heaven after long days walking and climbing. We enjoyed sitting in the sun chatting to the sheep in the field behind with a sundowner while the kids kicked a football around (to each other, no plants were damaged!) in the lovely garden. There’s a double fridge which was great for storing lots of drinks or if you’re going as two families. The beds are very comfortable. Angharad kept in touch with us - we had to reschedule twice due to lock downs - and made sure everything was ok during our visit too. Really lovely, friendly woman. Caernarfon is less than 15 mins away if you need to pop to Tesco. We had some lovely lunches out - The Heights in Llanberis and Y Stablau in Betws y Coed are worth a visit. We also bought some lovely cheese from the deli opposite Harlech Castle. There was a makers market in Beaumaris when went, bought some Anglesey Gin which I haven’t tried but I expect it’s really good! The castle is lovely - you can do the whole thing in around an hour. Best ice cream was at Portmeirion.
