10/10
Lovely cottage, in a truely wonderful location.
This home is rather arty and unique. Tastefully restored with love by the owner. It is small but plenty big enough for one mum and a lanky son. We thought it could have been a little cleaner; crumbs under cushions, sticky balcony, but as my son said "not bad enough to complain about". The kitchen has everything you need - I took my cook pot so didn't use it much.
There is a shop in the village for basics and a Co-op 10 minutes away in Blanaeu Ffestiniog.
The shower area is small but had good pressure and was always hot. We were perfectly happy with it.
The garden is shared and I only used it for morning tea but found it charming. Why would you want to sit in it anyway with Snowdonia on your doorstep? The setting is absolutely amazing with RHAEADR CYNFAL over the road, a 15 minute walk away; the waterfall,
and viaduct are beautiful, and we only ever met one other family there! We took the steam train from Porth Madoc, did the Precipice Walk at Dolgellau, and visited the beach at Morfa Nefyn - my son went up Snowden. There are many more tourist attractions if you want them and stunning scenery everywhere.
Someone in a review complained about the road at the front, I have stayed in many places ruined by traffic but this was not one of them. I could not hear it when I was in bed. We could hear singing at the community centre over the road which was lovely. There is a school tucked away so I imagine traffic will increase in term time.
Me and my son had a perfect break here and came back well rested, I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
