There was a lovely stream in the garden which the children enjoyed playing in, and the house had everything we needed. There are gorgeous walks straight from the house - both into Dolgellau and also up the mountainside, and the spectacular views of Cadair Idris look over the valley, making it a perfect setting. Huw & Rhian were so welcoming and forthcoming, and their dogs were a total charm. Thank you so much for a brilliant holiday!!!!

The location is perfect, especially if you enjoying watching the planes fly over. The owners were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We were even lucky to see some of the first day of the sheep sheering. Everyone works so hard on farms and it was a pleasure to stay on a working farm to see just a small bit of what they do. Thank you for sharing your slice of Wales with us.
