  A deceptively spacious and beautifully located cottage. On arrival the cottage looks small as you park outside, but once you enter and walk through the full size of the property becomes evident. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all downstairs with the cottage being built into the hillside. This provides for some great cottage features. Our undoubted highlight was the patio leading out from the kitchen with clear glass wall surrounds. The views over the countryside and coast beyond were stunning - Bardsey just visible! With comfortable outdoor seating (cushions in outside storage box) and pleasant sunshine, we spent a lot of time relaxing there! Walking up from the patio there is a large area of cut grass (a narrow field almost), completely fenced and dog safe. A perfect place to let the dogs run or to stroll and admire the views. The stairs leading down to the bedrooms are rather steep and might not be suitable for some, although a bolted gate is at the top for safety. The bedrooms were very well presented with excellent bathroom and en-suite. The lounge was very comfortable with four two-three seater sofas and a luxury dog bed! The kitchen was very well equipped with ability to open out the doors onto the patio. Although it was tempting to just stay at the cottage, the Llyn Peninsula is a lovely area to explore with several areas of National Trust protected coastline and wonderful walks. Abersoch, just a 5 minute drive away, is a lovely coastal town with several nice places to eat, including great fish and chips! Overall a delightful property and I would certainly be happy to stay again.

  Amazing!Beautiful!

  Tranquil!Relaxing! We have had the most chilled weekend at the big house, absolutely fabulous. Perfect little getaway. The children loved the safe space & hidden doorway! Teenagers happy with phones working!The adults loved the separate lounge! Fires lit, rugby on Tv & beers, super chilled! Fully equipped kitchen, everything & anything you need. Just over 10mins to Tesco in Porthmadog if you need anything, dogs loved the run on the estuary, I sat & enjoyed the views, spectacular! The clear skies, the wildlife- owls calling to each other & birds of prey, fantastic! We caravan in this area so know it well, but to stay in the Big house was a treat- and a fabulous treat at that. Only thing I'd possibly mention is a sign at the bottom of the drive? We didn't arrive until 8pm, very dark & ended up on the loggers property a bit lower down! Don't use postcode use what 3 words & you won't go wrong! Will definitely recommend & Hope to return again. Thankyou for a much needed & well deserved Relaxing weekend :-)

  We had a lovely week at Big House.

  The house is clean, comfortable and well-equipped and the layout with the connected annex really worked for our family. The location is great with easy access to Harlech and Porthmadog for a good range of shops and cafes. Unfortunately, it rained for the whole week so we weren’t able to make the most of the lovely garden and beautiful views but the wood burning stove meant it was a cosy place to hunker down with a glass of wine and some board games. The only negatives were some issues with the shower not draining properly in the annex bathroom but the biggest concern for us was the very steep driveway and the blind spot for exiting on to the road. We felt like we were taking our lives in our hands every time we left the property and I really feel that a mirror is necessary at the bottom of the driveway. Otherwise, a great stay in a beautiful house in a fabulous location!

  We had a wonderful week at Carreg Wen.

  The cottage has wonderful views and is very comfortable, homely and spacious. We were blessed with the weather most of the week so spent many hours on the wonderful patio. It was difficult to find in the dark - look out for the red and white chain across the drive. The owners were very friendly and we loved watching them work in the fields with their sheep and sheepdogs. The kitchen could do with a few more bits and bobs as most things were a bit thin on the ground; however, we managed and it didn't spoil our visit. The extra fridge / freezer in the utility room was very welcome, especially for our beer and wine, also with lots of room to store things. It is a lovely area to explore and we particularly enjoyed our walk and paddle on the glorious beach. We would highly recommend this cottage and would not hesitate to return when back in the area.
