  This is the best holiday we've had a for a long time.

  North Wales is just beautiful and Grafog Cottage was an absolute treat. From start to finish, we felt very welcome and little things like the bara brith and fresh eggs from the farm made it even more welcoming. It felt like a home from home and I could have stayed all summer. Being an older cottage I was worried the ceilings would be low but we had ample head room so at 6 foot 2 we had no issues. The enclosed garden was lovely and we enjoyed many a mealtime out on the picnic table and used the barbecue. The dog was very happy and the kids had space to run around. The floors creak and the doors squeak but it's full of character and you can tell the owners put the time and effort into making it cosy and welcoming. It is well equipped and don't think we wanted for anything in terms of facilities. Plenty hot water when you need it, just remember to pop on the boiler in the laundry room. There's also a rotary dryer out the back if the weather allows. The sitting room was comfortable for watching Wimbledon. If I could bring my own mattress, I don't think I would ever leave. Away from the cottage, the farm shop at Inigo Jones is a must for BBQ supplies, fruit and veg. They do a brilliant Welsh breakfast in the adjacent cafe. I've not been to such a friendly place in a long time. We went to Anglesey Transport Museum at Serena's recommendation and was a good day out for petrolheads young and old. Sygun Copper Mine was also a popular trip. Other highlights included trips to Betws-y-Coed, Great Orme, Llandudno promenade, Pwllheli, Beddgelert and Caernarfon. The coastal drive down to Porthmadog is also beautiful. Closer to home there are walks for the dog right from the farm cottage that take you down on to the Caernarfon-Bryncir cycle-path. We didn't want to leave and we've already booked for next year. The next time we'll be bringing the bikes though!

  This was a delightful cottage .

  We had 5 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room . The cottage was spotless on arrival and Simon and Serena were always on hand to answer our queries . The garden was lovely and was very secure for our 2 dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There was a hamper on arrival which we were very grateful for and a further batch of fresh eggs were delivered mid week. We ate in most nights which we found to be a pleasant experience and had great fun trying to master the Aga! In fact one night we managed to produce a very tasty meal with fresh produce from the local farm shop and butchers which was within walking distance . We did eat out one night and can recommend the Goat Inn - super food , and well staffed which is not so usual these days . The cottage is very well situated in a peaceful location for exploring all of Snowdonia . All in all we regard this cottage as one of the best we have stayed in so far and would highly recommend. In fact , we have decided to return next year!

  Far Beyond our expectations!

  ! The biggest problem you'll have is getting it free for time you want!! A barn conversion par excellence really, really, nice,in quiet location between Bangor & Snowdon Gwen the owner left a welcome pack ,showed us around and put the timings We Wanted on the boiler !! Even left Tea Towels!! so we were always warm, the WiFi was good too,& parking just outside with only two low steps down to bedroom the other wise flat ground floor layout was ideal for my wife, The location makes it only minutes drive from Snowdon Railway & mountain paths, and very near the Menai bridge to Anglesey, plus,Zip Wire & Port Merion & Flestiniog Railway are only a bit further,all without having to endure the Bangor town traffic,!!! Bangor being approx 10 minutes drive away. It looks possible to get buses into Bangor or Llanberris from about quarter of mile away but obviously easier to explore if you have your own transport All in all a great place to stay if visiting the area,

  Grafog farm cottage is beautiful, we didn’t want to leave.

  The hosts have really thought of everything, it really is like a home from home. It was also so clean and tidy. The kitchen is so well equipped, beds are comfortable, plenty of towels and all other amenities you could need for your stay. The fireplace in the living room is beautiful, on arriving at the farm house the hosts had pre-made the fire for us, put ice in the freezer and left a lovely welcome basket of goodies, fresh eggs and milk and butter in the fridge, so gratefully appreciated after a long drive. The location is perfect for exploring, beautiful beaches, castles, lakes, mountains and zip worlds all within an hours drive at the most. We met Simon and he happily showed our boys their horses and was very friendly, I have also had email contact with Serena as we left an item behind that she kindly offered to post on to us. I would definitely recommend this beautiful farm house and we would love to go back, thank you for a lovely holiday.

  We had a lovely stay.

  The beds and bedding were high quality. We loved the massive hot tub, plenty of room in and stayed hot. Garden fully secure for our dog which was reassuring, she didn't want to leave. We had Tesco delivered to us and we wouldn't have had to leave the house all week if we didn't need to! Could walk the dog from the doorstep. The road to the cottage passed the farmhouse has pot holes and some is single track but just drive slowly. Was so quiet and peaceful, much needed break from our stressful lives. Didn't need the fire as we had lovely weather and the heating system works well if needed. TV in Cosy living area has apps with netflix etc. We have rebooked for next year for a week. Only feedback to owner would be that it would be helpful to have some hooks for towels in downstairs bathroom. We also couldn't get the TV working in the sunroom sitting area but that could just be us not doing something right! See you next November!
