  Lovely cottage in a great location; we reluctantly delayed the start of the break by 2 days due to extreme weather, both at home & journey.

  But once there the beautiful beaches within walking distance or a short drive more than made up for the disappointment. Cottage was very clean, extremely warm & cosy, and well thought out & equipped. It's larger than expected having seen the photos, and the garden was delightful, despite the season only just starting. It would be packed full of flowers, leaf and wildlife later in year, with a west facing raised patio area to enjoy the view and sun. Woke one day to thick layer of snow but it literally melted and disappeared by noon. Views of snowy mountains, all the way to Llyn Peninsular on bright days, thick banks of fog hugging valleys towards Caider Idris and Rhinogs was amazing. We imagine there'd be plenty of activity in nearby caravan parks in high season; power lines and trees felled by Storm Emma, let alone the cold weather just before arriving ensured the amount of holidaymaker travellers was minimal so we wandered the local area in peace. But even so I don't think the presence of many more people would put us off; the cottage locality makes up for that potential 'business'. Barmouth, Dyffryn and Harlech are just minutes away by car. Great pub literally minutes walk away and local restaurant serving authentic Italian amongst other dishes. Peaceful, very pretty and picturesque. Would love to go back; preferably not when The Beast from the East, Storm Emma and Pest from the West are brewing! However I suspect the cottage will be much in demand when word gets out and availability may become a problem in the future.

  Although not dog owners ourselves, we have friends who have dogs, but have never experienced such bad dog odour, everytime we walked into the property it smelt of wet dog.

  This could only be improved if the rugs in the property were deep cleaned or changed everytime a new guest was due. We had to buy air fresheners, but it only masked the smell temporarily. The microwave had not been cleaned on our arrival. The bathroom was clean though. We know now not to book a property that allows animals of any sort, to be fair with covid around properties were far and few between when I booked, plus the price was very fair, but we will recomend to our friends with dogs. The property itself was in a lovely location with a sea view. Although right next to a busy road we slept fine. Lovely village pub a couple of minutes walk away with a river running by and Tony's pizza place was great for meals too, but make sure you go an order 1.5 hrs before you want it, as very busy due to having so many caravan sites/camp sites around. We did have a few drunk people walking past and being very noisy who came from the camp site directly next to the cottage a couple of nights running.

  The cottage is in an ideal location with a short walk to the beach and immediate access to the mountains where there are plenty of walks with stunning views.

  It is a 2 minute walk to the nearest pub and a short drive to Barmouth. It was very busy during our stay due to school holidays and plenty of sunshine so it was super busy in Barmouth hence this cottage is away from the crowds but close enough to drive to if you want to visit Barmouth. We had one of our dogs with us and dogs are welcome on the beach in Talybont during summer unlike Barmouth so another reason why this cottage was ideal. The cottage itself is fully equipped with everything you would need and the owners are very helpful and can answer any questions you may have with a quick text message. The cottage is decorated to a high standard with lovely welsh stone walls and lots of history. The garden is beautiful with lots of established plants and places to relax. I didn't need the woodburners as it was great weather but I can imagine in the winter the woodburners wood be very cosy on a cold winters night. This cottage is exactly as the owners description and we hope to return.

  We had a wonderful stay at Y Bwthyn.

  The property has been cleverly renovated and has almost all it needs for a very comfortable stay. The garden is perfect and made our stay! We enjoyed lovely evenings sat outside with our dogs, and everything has been thought of in terms of outdoor comfort. In the cottage, there are a few things that would be helpful (e.g a hand towel upstairs and downstairs, a place to hang coats) but more importantly, I feel the owners and Sykes need to provide more information to potential visitors on the spiral staircase in the property. Living in a home with a spiral staircase, we thought it would be fine but it is a very narrow, steep spiral staircase which takes time and care to navigate. Not necessarily an issue, but it needs to be made clear so that future visitors can decide for themselves if it will pose them an issue. The area is gorgeous and as locals ourselves, we’d recommend the Mawddach trail, the Torrent Walk Hotel in Dolgellau and the George for drinks and food!

  The road is very busy with both walkers and cars which is mentioned in the description but the cottage only has curtains in the bedroom.

  Due to the layout this means people can see in to every area so privacy is an issue. We found the cottage to be well equipped but general cleaning was quite poor in the important areas: The shower screen and walls adjacent had thick soap scum and black mould. The bed had thick dust in the under drawers which made the empty one unusable and made us not want to use the extra pillows etc that were stored there. The dust was about an inch thick under the bed. I appreciate the bedroom is small but the bed was very small so I slept with my feet hanging over the edge. The kitchen cupboards could do with a wipe out as quite a bit of the crockery was 'sticky'. Likewise the low level areas in the kitchen were very dusty dirty and sticky. Overall we had a good holiday in a great location but would not stay here again
