What our customers say about their holidays

  As we opened the door Wow!

  This felt like a much loved home not a holiday let. A state of the art kitchen, it all looked brand new. Fully equipped, Eirian has thought of everything. Three lovely comfy sofas in the sitting room and books describing the surrounding area on the coffee table. From every room there are stunning views of the mountains surrounding Maes Meillion. The three bedrooms are lovely, comfortable beds, we slept well, excellent showers too. Outside, comfortable garden furniture and a covered eating area with a BBQ. So peaceful with just the sound of birdsong, the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. We loved the raised flower beds, Eirian is a very talented gardener with an eye for colour. The front borders particularly, an array of beautiful plants set against the backdrop of the mountains behind is stunning. Last but not least, Eirian herself, warm and welcoming and so helpful, there was a loaf of Bara Brith and Welsh butter waiting for us, a lovely touch. Maes Meillion deserves more than five stars, we certainly plan to visit this beautiful immaculate house again.

  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 cottage was delightful with great views of the beach and the sea. However there was no information as to how to access the beach which would have been really useful. We discovered towards the end of our holiday that there was access on to the beach south of the railway station. It is possible to access the beach by going through the caravan site across the road from the cottage but it was signed “site clientele only”. We think more information regarding beach access would have been really useful. Online info stated there would be a welcome pack on our arrival, however this constituted a packet of Welsh cakes and a small carton of milk. We don’t consider this to be a welcome pack. Either a proper welcome pack should be provided or mention of it deleted from the website. However we had a very pleasant stay overall.

  ***PERFECT*** This is the only word to describe Maes Meillion.

  We enjoyed a wonderful week in April at this property - enhanced by lovely sunny weather! The garden backs on to fields which were full of new born lambs bleating and birds singing - it was just so relaxing! The kitchen at Maes Meillion is the best equipped we have ever experienced in a holiday cottage. The whole property has been lovingly presented by Eirian, who is on hand just next door should you need her (very friendly but certainly not intrusive). If you are into walking and cycling - there are plenty of options to cater for all abilities - all within a 20 minute drive. We wish Eirian every success in her new business venture (though we would prefer this place to remain a secret, as it is bound to be fully booked after all the positive reviews being left!)

  We really enjoyed our holiday at this cottage.

  It’s small but cozy, even with our two whippets! The cottage has everything you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom. The best part was probably the enclosed outside area with a roofed seating space. We had a lovely barbecue and sat by the fire when it got colder. The location is amazing and it was easy to get to all the main hikes. It’s also just a 5 min walk to a fantastic pub - George III - by the quaint toll bridge over the estuary. The host was very helpful and quick to respond too. Although it wasn’t a problem for me, the only thing was that the spiral staircase was very steep and rather narrow, which my partner found a bit harder to navigate. Overall, though, we and our hounds loved our holiday at Y Bwthyn. Thank you for having us!
