A fantastic stay at Maesgwyn Farm Cottage. Spotlessly clean & homely, our wonderful hosts Mae & John were incredibly welcoming making for a very comfortable and enjoyable weeks stay. Perfectly located for exploring the coast and mountains of Snowdonia with activities to suit all family members. We stayed with our 2 year old and dog who had the bestRead more time scampering up mountains, playing by Afons & Coeds, running on the beaches & playing in the waves at Harlech. If you're into mountain bike riding, there is a track right by the house which would be a lot of fun! Spectacular views from the outdoor terrace too. A truly special location and we would highly recommend to anyone. Hide

We were delighted with the lovely farm house. In every respect it was superb. Extremely comfortable. Very clean and well equipped and the location was second to none with many lovely walks on the doorstep and beautiful beaches within half an hours drive. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

Lovely cottage tucked well away. All things youd want to visit in N Wales are less than an hours drive away. We loved the setting and the nature around us, especially the bats and owls.

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, it is in a beautiful location surrounded by lovely views. The cottage was really cosy and warm, the log burner was really good, kept us lovely and warm, especially when it snowed. The bedrooms are lovely and comfy, the lounge as well, its a great base for exploring the area.
