  Lovely cottage, tastefully converted from an attached stone outbuilding.

  The property owner was very friendly and helpful and was available if we needed any help. Comfortable furniture and lovely decor. Outside space was lovely but unfortunately as it was November we were unable to sit out and enjoy it. Kitchen was well equipped but I was intrigued why we should need 3 different ways of making a cup of coffee! In the end I went out and bought a jar of instant! Handy for the Spar supermarket which was well stocked. There were 3 maintenance issues which Peta was aware of and she assured us that they would be put right.(Two on the stairs and the cupboard on the landing which wouldn't stay closed) The only problem we found was the stairs, as they were steep, had a bend in them and the only 'aid' was a looped rope on the stone wall. It looked very attractive and was in keeping with the decor, but as two 80-year olds, we struggled to get up and down to the bedroom and the bathroom. From our point of view a rigid hand rail would have been better. The cottage was as advertised a 10 minute walk from the beach but as the road to it was down a very steep road, we only walked there once and were reluctant to drive to the car park at the bottom in case the car 'ran away' with us. The whole area is really beautiful and we felt we had missed out because we were restricted by our inability to walk very far. Perhaps we didn't read the information given for this cottage closely enough and we should have chosen somewhere different but all in all we enjoyed our stay there. However it is unlikely that we will go back.

  What a lovely little gem of a property!

  Away from it all, but near enough to the beach (1 mile) and the local shops/cafes. Really quiet other than the natural countryside noises and a total sun trap when the weather is nice, which it was all week. Some have commented on the lane going to the property which is indeed narrow, but its perfectly negotiable and I never actually encountered another vehicle when driving. For info I drive a 4x4 so unless you're trying to drive down a lorry I think you'll be ok. Perfect for walkers, with me and the dog clocking up over 90 miles in the week. The local pubs can get VERY busy on the weekend in summer as can the beach, but there are much quieter ones further afield in the car. The house is west facing, so can get VERY hot in the sun so best keep the curtains closed. It would benefit from blackout curtains in the bedroom such as those in the lounge but I guess this is down to personal preference. Please note there is also no washing machine here, so get your elbow grease ready for the handwash! Alternatively there is an laundry in the village. Hosts are tremendous and couldn't do enough. Local amenities are grand, including an emergency visit to the vets who couldn't help enough. All that remains to say is diolch!

  We had a great week Bwthyn Bach the cottage is really lovely and comfortable.

  Lovely touches like quality bedding and being in control of the heating was great. The welcome pack was very much appreciated too. There is a small garden out the back with a table and 2 chairs such a nice place to relax in the evening sunshine after a hard day's walking on the nearby coastal paths. We even had a visit from 3 little lambs in the garden that totally confused our dog when they started playing with her as she thinks she should do the chasing. The cottage is ideally situated with great walks and beachs in all directions right from the front door. Very close to major towns and only 30 Mile's or so from Snowdonia range of mountain walks. We had a couple of issues with kitchen equipment while we were there, which I mentioned to Peta the owner. Peta took the issues on board and took action to solve them. Thank you Peta for a lovely place to stay we will definitely be visiting again soon.

  On approaching Y Big you must follow the instructions provided by Liz and Dick , the owners in order to negotiate the narrow winding lane which becomes a track over the final half mile .

  On arrival you are welcomed by an amazing rural view and a splendidly restored and carefully modernised Welsh longhouse with period features as well as eco friendly ground sourced pumped heating and a wet room with shower , w.c. , bidet , and wash hand basin. The shower is unscreened, and must be mopped out after use.The kitchen diner is spacious and well equipped , with good natural light and countryside views via the excellent garden room/ conservatory . The lounge boasts comfortable leather sofas and a superb log burner , and the bedrooms are comfortably furnished with adequate storage , whilst the double has a useful en suite toilet and washbasin . We thoroughly enjoyed our week of relaxation in this lovely cottage set in beautiful peaceful countryside, and hope to return.

  We found the cottage very clean, the kitchen stocked with everything you would want, a great goody bag to greet us and the furniture and presentation lovely and homely - the outside picture does not do it justice.

  Just a few minutes walk from the back gate to the beach, an absolutely brilliant location. However there were 2 issues (ignoring the fact the electrics were switched off on arrival so the heating and fridge were not up to speed - to be fair Sykes dealt with this immediately and could not be faulted). The shower was very feeble (if that's a village wide problem with pressure there's not much can be done), and it went from cold to scalding with just a minor touch of the dial. Secondly the listing said the garden was secure which it wasn't - I could walk through the gaps in the hedge so our dog had no problem which was really annoying as it was 1 of the main reasons to pick the place - this description should be removed. Would definitely recommend, but not to those with pets.
