  Talkhouse Cottage is beautifully equipped with everything we needed.

  It was very comfortable with lots of space to move around and oodles of storage options. The kitchen was well laid out with cupboard space to put our food supplies in. The bathroom is spacious and well lit with the most luxurious towels ever. The bedroom was light and airy with 2 wardrobes and a set of drawers for our clothes. We slept very well in the comfortable bed although it was a little too warm for us. The proximity of the road and railway never disturbed us, apart from the one car with a noisy exhaust, even though we are light sleepers. Tim and Jackie are excellent hosts and were very quick to attend to our one issue, a wobbly chair. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, hubby loves Welsh cakes. Did not make use of the coffee pods as I am dairy intolerant, but the thought was there. Basic supplies like the tea, coffee etc and milk in the fridge all go to show how attentive these hosts are to details. We love the area with its hills, lanes and driving trails, as hubby is limited mobility we rarely walk anywhere but the amazing scenery nearby was amazing.

  This is one of the nicest holiday homes we've stayed in!

  For three adults and a dog, this home was spacious for all of us. The views were stunning. The kitchen/dining area was used a lot, especially for a Sunday Roast we cooked up. The fireplace was a great addition but the home's heating system was enough for us in the first place. The bedrooms were spacious with radiators, and also come with a separate electric heater that does wonders. The bathroom/shower facilities were even better than our own home! In terms of what to do around the area, there were National Parks, Forests, and Bala, and it's also fairly close to Barmouth and an hour's drive to Llandudno. We were lucky with the weather, which is why we got to do so many things. However, in the summer, there would be a lot more out there available for you to do. Overall, we would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a short stay in the North of Wales.

  We had a lovely relaxing week at Aran Cottage although the weather has been a bit wild at times but we were warm and cosy in the cottage with views to die for and watch the kite flying passed the cottage with other birds of prey.

  We have been to Cyffdy before and that week we were able to walk over hills and mountains but this time with the amount of rain over the passed few weeks we decided to walk else where. One day we went down to the white water rapids ,well worth a visit) We did a few walks around Bala down by the river and one sunny day we drove over to Barmouth and had walks along the beach. I would like to say thanks to Steph for the scones,jam,daffodils and card for my birthday which I celebrated there. The cottage is well equipped if you like cooking as I do .The slow cooker is a bonus and also having a television in the kitchen dining room so while you are preparing a meal you can catch up on what ever you want . The garden is dog friendly all the way round the cottage so you do not have to worry about your dog if you let him/she out . We will hopefully be returning

  This was our 2nd visit to Cyffdy cottages, this time staying in Aran as we thought the larger 2nd bedroom would suit our growing children.

  Cottage was lovely and the views were just stunning even with a glimpse of the lake from some windows. Plenty of enclosed outdoor space for our dog to safely wander outside the cottage and a lovely balcony area with outdoor seating to enjoy those magnificent views. Lovely to have the donkeys in the field next to us and they even began to recognise us when we came back after a day out! The grounds of Cyffdy are immaculate and provide a lovely space for the children to have a play. The trampoline and football goal are fab and nice for the children to have a little safe space. There are so many things to do in the surrounding areas to keep you very busy but it was always lovely to come back to our peaceful cottage at the end of the day where we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. Thank you again, we really didn’t want to go home!

  This was a beautiful and comfortable cottage with fantastic views.

  The cottage was very clean, and had everything you needed. The bedrooms had lovely views and the double bed was very comfortable. The owners are situated very close which was reassuring in case of problems. The cottage is only a five minute drive from Bala lake, so great for water sports enthusiasts. Bala itself is a lovely place with some unusual shops, the Indian restaurant and the Turkish restaurant are top notch. This is a fantastic cottage, in a fantastic location. Just one point the cottage is accessed by a flight 8 steps up to the front door, so not accessible for people with mobility difficulties. There are however other cottages that are accessible. We will definitely be returning to this cottage, highly recommend.
