Secluded hill top cottage in the heart of Snowdonia National Park

The location was perfect, lovely surroundings and walks. We felt that the property was not perfectly clean, some crockery/utensils dirty. Broken main light bulb in one bedroom, couldn't replace. Grill on gas cooker would not turn up to a high flame, so couldn't cook on it. Wooden crockery drainer dirty. The was no smoke detector in the property, which is a legal requirement in all holiday cottages.

A truly stunning location, set in 30 acres of green to walk around (including a swimming lake ten mins away on foot). The view from the veranda, overlooking miles of mountain is just incredible. We spent as much time as we could sitting thete and it fast became one of our favourite places in the world. When we weren’t doing that, there are lots of things to see and do in the surrounding area. Can strongly recommend.

Would highly recommend it. Staying at Maentwrog is like stepping back in time, has the feel of a 1950s cottage and has not been overly modernised like many places and is furnished in that period. Saying that there had plenty of hot water, the stove is good, beds are comfy and the shower is a power shower. No microwave though. The cottage is quite big so plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen could do with a bit of a sort out so there is somewhere for guests food and crockery could do with an update but everything was clean. Has weak Wifi but our Mobiles got decent coverage so planning days out was OK. Very tranquil location, the route up to the cottage is a fun drive and a bit of ground clearance is definitely required, very low slung cars would struggle. It only takes about 5 mins to get down though and then you are away on decent roads so getting places is easy enough. All in all a lovely place to stay.

This home is special. A combination of breathtaking scenery and superb location, very comfortable abode with everything you need whilst giving the feeling of wild country living escapism. The decor and Noelles wonderful paintings add serenity and interest to the cottage. My family all connected to this place immensely.

Beautiful authentic cottage, with glorious views across Snowdonia. Lovely walks straight outside your door. Hosts well organised and very welcoming.

We can’t believe how quickly our week at the cottage has gone, arriving after a long car journey felt quite magical, the setting is just stunning. The cottage had everything we needed and our 16 and 17 year olds absolutely loved it. Admittedly we were extremely lucky with the weather, swimming at beach or lake every day, frequently both!! If you don’t mind the hairpin bends up the track I would strongly recommend a holiday here in the mountains!

We had an amazing two weeks in Noelle's cottage, which served as a fantastic base to explore Snowdonia. We travelled with dogs who loved the walks straight out from the cottage. Noelle's son Ned was on hand to offer help and advice during our stay. If you're looking for peace and tranquility away from the crowds then this is the ideal place. The whole family absolutely loved it!

We had a great, relaxing week staying in this cosy cottage located in a beautiful wooded valley. We loved the quirky kitchen and dining area with lovely warm Rayburn. We did lots of walking straight from the cottage and enjoyed a dip in the swimming lake. The whole area was fantastically beautiful. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

This is a beautiful cottage in a truly spectacular location. Easy access to stunning woodland walks and within short driving distance to a variety of pretty villages, the Ffestiniog Railway, Portmeirion and beaches. The host was very helpful suggesting local beaches and walks. Cottage itself was clean and cosy, especially in the evenings when we had the wood burner crackling - bliss. We had a magical week in this lovely cottage and very stunning part of Wales.

Lovely cottage, good size with three children and a dog. The views and woodland around are amazing, it’s great being able to walk from your front door.
