  This was a Christmas holiday week away with 12 Adults and 1 child and 1 baby.

  The house was in a lovely remote part of the Welsh countryside, which is what we wanted. The house was huge and we never felt on top of each other. We pre-ordered our food to be delivered. We wouldnt do that again. This was a mistake as many items were not available. There was a beautiful decorated Xmas tree and some lovely garlands around the fireplaces. The house had a lovely Christmas feel. The pool was a tad on the cold side but was used a couple of times. But the big winners for us was the massive hot tub and the pool table in the games room. My only criticism was that maybe a rubber mat or carpet runner would have helped around the pool table, as sometimes the ball could come off the table and damage the ceramic tiles. The bathrooms were all lovely and clean and the showers were lovely and powerful. The family bathroom was as big as a ballroom! All the bedrooms were tidy and bedding up to standard. One bed room had a little mould but other than that all the sleeping arrangements were met. There was plenty of space with a huge fridge/freezer and a washer dryer. The kitchen was large but getting a bit tired. The 2 dishwashers were great and in constant use! The toaster needs replacing as it took about 20 mins to do 2 slices and the utensils also need updating. We struggled to carved the meat. Also a few of the glass items had chips in and we struggled with the door and temperature on the oven. Overall, we had a lovely time and the area was beautiful and we would definitely go again. Next time we would go in the summer so we could take full advantage of the extensive grounds. The owner was also very helpful and accommodating. We would definitely recommend.

  This lovely old extended property worked well for the 15 of us staying for 3 nights but it would have been really helpful to have seen a floor plan of bedrooms when I booked, to know where to sleep the different age ranges & family groupings.

  The bedroom walls were quite thin & one of our party had a bad cough which kept others awake. I'd recommend taking earplugs! The cooker dials have no numbers on them, particularly the ovens: they have been rubbed off over the years. If I'd had a manual it might have been easier to judge temperatures and to see how the left hand oven/grill worked. It was very much 'hope for the best' which wasn't easy as I was cooking lasagnes & garlic bread for one meal. Also, when putting the right hand or left hand 'small hobs on, the large hobs came on at the same time! We washed drinking glasses by hand after managing to break 4 in the dishwasher. There was a drying rack, but no water catching tray to put under it so we put towels underneath & kept rotating them. There were no cords to be able to close the venetian blinds in the kitchen & dining areas. Not a problem in the winter, but when bright sunlight is streaming in...? The indoor pool, with the shower right next to it (again, a floor plan might have been handy, to know this?) was very popular with the youngsters in our party. The outdoor hot tub was accessed via the pool area & was lovely to use. I'm sorry that this all sounds quite negative, but the above are all things that I would like feedback on if I were running the place. A 3 night stay is not nearly long enough to do this beautifully situated property justice. We'd definitely return, but for at least a week next time .And at a warmer time of the year, to take full advantage of all the other outdoor activities supplied by the owners.

  Absolutely fantastic place, gorgeous panoramic views from the top of the hill and amazing views from the lodge and hot tub.

  Welcoming, helpful owners, activities such as quad tracking, paint balling and archery to enjoy and keep the family entertained, great landscapes to explore, clean, fully equipped and beautifully furnished to a high standard. Shops, supermarkets and restaurants easily accessible by car, along with lots of attractions to visit close by. We absolutely loved our stay! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, kids enjoyed playing football with the owners dog Skye and exploring the landscapes, we visited the British Ironworks Centre, Powys castle and Attingham Park, all worth a visit for a lovely day out. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, the kids had a great time toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and just enjoying their freedom outdoors in a safe and peaceful environment ❤️ Thanks again so much Nicky and Mike! Can’t wait for next time

  We all had a wonderful stay at Ty Newydd from a warm welcome and tour of the property off Arwel to discovering all of the excellent facilities, literally everything we could possibly want.

  The four teenagers we had with us made extremely good use of the swimming pool hot tub and the two acres at the rear for cricket rounders and badminton. The property inside is very spacious extremely well furnished and decorated ,and more than amply supplied crockery cutlery and cooking utensils. The games room with the pool table and table soccer was also a big success. A very nice touch was a delicious Victoria Sponge cake left for us, much appreciated as was the charcoal left for the BBQ. On maintenance generally excellent ,under the rim of the swimming pool had some green staining and some flagstones on the rear of the property were loose and very slippery when wet. The begonias around the property were beautiful and a very nice addition. Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Arwel Jones for a great stay.

  The Marshes is a lovely property with lots of space and a nice garden with fabulous views.

  Good facilities provided and very comfortable. Although it seems rural, it is only a short drive from shopping facilities. There is plenty to do in the area - would highly recommend Derwen Garden Centre for refreshments as well as plants and a children's maze. Further afield try Cross Foxes at Dolgellau for a meal and Barmouth for a good beach. Mrs Williams ( a lovely lady who owns the property) came by to make sure everything was okay and provided a very nice welcome pack. A teapot would be nice and the instructions need a revamp to make it easier to find. Wouldn't hesitate to return to this property.
