Here is the perfect spot to put your feet up and enjoy the views of the pretty front garden, and the countryside stretching across the Afon Dwyryd estuary to Portmeirion. The garden is a delight, the large, sloped lawn being great for children and the dog to play outside on, with mature trees framing the country vistas. It is a wonderful, inviting space where you can sit and relax with a good book, or enjoy a glass of wine late into warm summer evenings.

Everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen. Very good location to visit nearby places of interest and walks. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and beautiful view from the lounge window. Lovely walk from the cottage across the road along the estuary with views of Portmeirion and Yr Wyddfa. Owners were exceptionally lovely.

We believe that the scenery paintings in the main bedroom are superfluous as the live scenery from the picture window was amazing and inspiring! Clearly God's creation always surpasses man's creations! Such a wonderful and memorable holiday! Thank you.

Talsarnau was a good base for visiting surrounding areas. Spotlessly clean, and everything you might need was provided. Plus a lovely welcome gift on arrival which included flowers, tea, coffee, milk and cakes.
