Guests say
Rhosmair is a delightful cottage in Barmouth, highly praised for its breathtaking sea views, spacious layout, and peaceful setting. Guests consistently mention the stunning sunsets, proximity to the beach and town, and the welcoming atmosphere. Many appreciated thoughtful touches on arrival and found the property well-equipped. While some noted minor wear and less comfortable lounge furniture, the overall experience remains very positive, with many guests returning for repeat stays. The property offers a memorable base for exploring the area and enjoying the Welsh coast.
Guests generally found the property clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Some minor wear was mentioned, but this did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is repeatedly described as outstanding, with spectacular views over the bay and easy access to Barmouth, the beach, and local walks. The peaceful setting and proximity to attractions are major highlights.
Most guests found the beds comfortable and the house spacious, but several reviews mention that the lounge furniture is not supportive, especially for those with back issues. This slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped and spacious, with hot water and good amenities. Some guests noted that certain items and furnishings could benefit from updating, but overall facilities are satisfactory.
Many guests appreciated the welcome packs with essentials like milk, cake, and eggs. While these thoughtful touches are frequently mentioned, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

This was our second stay at Rhosmair and the views from the patio are beautiful.I believe the kitchen refurb will have now started and look forward to seeing the new look.I am wondering if additional hanging space could be added to the second bedroom as there seems to be a locked cupboard in the corner? Also bigger drawers in that room like in the main and twin rooms would be great.We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again in the future

Firstly, thank you to the owners for the welcome food package, very kind and much appreciated. The directions to the property refer to a ‘BT’ telephone box in a lay-by adjacent to the property. There is NO phone box anymore so missed the location in both directions. The view was spectacular and the garden private. If you have a bad back there is no comfortable seating in the living area. The ‘short’ walk into Barmouth is for the fit and young, we used the car. The beds were comfy and the water was always hot, all in all a pleasant stay.

Outstanding location and views. We did many costal walks using Llanaber station.Had some issues with the house - which we know the owners are working to resolve - and we are grateful for the compensation due to this.
