Character old cottage in gorgeous Snowdonia location

Cottage was absolutely perfect for us, comfy beds, comfy sofas, loved all the games, dvds etc. Will definitely be booking again. Location is perfect, 2 min walk to train station and only a mile and a half to a beautiful beach. Perfect for a quiet family holiday.

A Bad Experience of ‘Quirky’ - best check every detail WITH HOST before bookingQuirky definition: Unusual in an attractive/interesting way. OK if property listing is accurate at time of booking. For us It wasn’t.For mainly safety reasons I moved some of my family out after 1 day to another place costing 2K. 2 adults remained here to sleep only. UNSAFE KITCHEN ELECTRICS1.Exposed cooker wire into wall mounted socket above cooker is not compliant with safety regs.2.Use of 3 gang extension lead, sitting on kitchen worktop, overloaded with multiple appliances microwave/toaster/kettle is dangerous3.Old electric cooker (no PAT Test evidence ) loose knobs,no control info visibleAll 3 are a fire riskINACCURATE LISTING1.Entrance not wheelchair accessible2.Bedroom too small for bed size; Unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues, especially in the event of fire3. Gold sofabed in lounge not an option according to housekeeper saying ‘ not used, we tried once to get it out & back in, it nearly broke our backs’.4. Bedroom cupboards full of DVD’s/Video’s/Games & virtually no room for our clothes5. No BBQ, Fire Pit, useable garden furniture or mountain bikes on arrival until housekeeper loaned us hers.6. Rotting wooden picnic table gave our 10yr old a splinterHost apologised quickly to complaints & amended parts of his listing. However, as he’s ‘stuck’ in Croatia he wants me to provide a detailed itinerary of remaining listing inaccuracies - that’s not the guests job

Quirky, clean and a really good base for our walking holiday. Easy to get to Barmouth, and the walk to the George III is lovely Bed was very comfy. Love the fact it has solar!

A very quirky cosy cottage. Very warm . In an ideal spot in the country. Ideal for walkers, biker. Next to a walking trail with patthway to Fairbourne and Barmouth overlooking the estuary. Train station about a 5 min walk. The owner has left lots of equiptment to use, bikes surfboard etc. We had to 6 yr olds with us and they loved it

The property is indeed quirky but just as described in the listing, and suited us down to the ground as it was something different! Had everything we needed (with the exception of a freezer compartment in the fridge but minor point), and was clean and warm. Huge TV and good wifi. One of the best things for us was the availability of bikes, and we spent 2 of our our 4 days there riding in the beautiful local area. Also had body boards but we didn't have time to use them (and golf clubs etc). Would benefit from automated checking in details prior to the trip as communication with the owner was occasionally a little tricky. Would definitely stay again!

My wife and I and our seven year old son had an excellent stay in this characteristic and extremely comfortable cottage. An ideal location close to Barmouth and within walking distance of the local train station. Special thanks to Neil, the owner of this stunning cottage. We enjoyed our stay that much that we have already booked to stay again next year! Craig, Sophia and Harry
