  The cottage was lovely and in an ideal spot and we were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated.

  First impressions were that the cottage was lovely and clean, nice towels and bed linen. The bed was very comfortable. In the kitchen there was every appliance/utensil wise that we needed. The sandwich maker was very marked so we didn't use that. There was an odour in the kitchen, around the oven area that wasn't particularly nice, we couldn't ascertain what it was it where it came from. We had a fly infestation up in the small landing toilet so maybe a supply of fly spray would have been handy, even though I hate using spray it would have been useful on this occasion. Luckily we had kept the door shut so they were mainly confined to that room although somehow they did make they way into the bathroom next to it. The water from the shower in the bath was very slow draining and when I checked on the last day as I was cleaning the bath I saw that the slow drainage was due to a clogged up plughole. This might be worth checking now and again to ensure water drains freely. The patio outside was lovely, had the sun and the sound of the running stream and birdsong was just idyllic, very restful. We were visited by several species of birds on the bird feeder including a regular woodpecker. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

  Had a truly memorable stay at ‘ The Ingle’ which was definitely enhanced by beautiful warm weather for our entire stay.

  The description was accurate so no surprises when we arrived. It is very tiny but the space available has been utilised well, and yes, the stairs are steep but you soon get used to them. Good shower and plenty of towels. Lovely comfy bed with fantastic views.The integral fridge is floor standing and the capacity is very minimal so I found it frustrating to use so just to be aware of this and also general storage space is mainly non existent. There is only one spotlight in the shower room and one evening as I put it on, it popped and fused the upstairs lighting circuit. I contacted Jo, the housekeeper, who was very helpful and managed to find out for us the location of the fuse box, and, after finding a spare bulb in the kitchen cupboard, we were back up and running again. It was Summer Bank Holiday during our stay so extremely busy in the town but so nice to escape the crowds and get back to The Ingle for some peace and tranquility and ‘those views’ The walks uphill from the back of the cottage were great with lots of options, also the ferry boat across to Fairbourne but just being there was a tonic in itself. No more to be said as the views say it all!!

  The cottage is in a fantastic location with stunning views.

  Parking is off road, on a steep hill, but ok to access. It’s comfortable and relatively clean. Extremely quiet. Unfortunately little things like Cobwebs in upper corners and dead flys on the windowsills let it down. Lots of feathers from the living room cushions on the floor and sofa. Not sure how long it had been since the cleaners had been in. Bathroom wasn’t particularly clean. Bedroom lamp missing a bulb. Disappointed not to have a welcome pack, especially after reading positive reviews on the essential items previously left for guests. What added insult to injury was the half finished pint of milk left in the fridge! And no bags in the bins! Appreciate it’s a self catering cottage, but you would expect essential basic items such as bin bags in the bins, especially the kitchen. Only had food waste bags in the cupboard. Not essential, but WiFi was poor, constantly dropping connection. Not great when trying to entertain a youngster on wet days. A deep clean and a refresh of some of the furniture would really boost the place.

  This place is a jewel, in a gorgeous setting with absolutely magnificent views, and a lovely garden.

  We spent many happy hours just looking out of the full height window at the estuary and mountains, and walking from the property. It is comfortably and tastefully furnished, with everything you need. There is plenty of space for two people, though four adults might find it a little crowded. The double bed is very comfortable but as often the case the single beds are less so. It was clean when we arrived, however there were a few frustrating things: in spite of being told there would be fire making materials for the wood burning stove, none were provided;1 toilet roll only was supplied, a tiny bit of washing up liquid, and just enough dishwashing tablets. There was a bulb missing in one of the bedside lights and the battery was flat on the kitchen clock. Looking at previous feedback in the comments book there seem to be a long list of minor housekeeping quibbles. It's a shame to dwell on such minor things, but they need fixing to make this a totally five star experience.

  Quirky little cottage in an outstanding position with the most amazing view but it has a few niggles (see other reviews) which are not being addressed.

  The shower does not drain properly, the tiny, tiny basin in the bathroom is totally inadequate, and alternative directions for access really should be given as the path closure has gone on for months. The steps access (133 of them in several short flights) is via St George's Lane (opposite The Tilman) - keep going up, past the benches, and just after the sandbags look for a narrow almost-hidden path to the left, in front of two cottages, The Ingle is just beyond these cottages. The accommodation is small but it is comfortable and well-equipped. The wifi was excellent, and parking permit provision brilliant. The position makes for excellent access to the hills above Barmouth as well as the town, but you do need to be fit, things get quite steep at times, and the staircase in the cottage is a glorified ladder. Travel light and with back-packs!
