  We had a lovely time at Threshing Barn and the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. We had gone for a metal detecting weekend which was around 30 minutes drive from the cottage so this was a great base and allowed us to spend the weekend with friends partaking in our favourite hobby whilst having the comfort of a soft bed, shower and toilet as opposed to the limited amenities of the campsite! I marked down slightly on cleanliness and comfort for 2 reasons. Firstly there were a few cobwebs in the ceiling, however as this is a former barn and in a very rural location this is to be expected. Second reason was that the windows do not open very far. We were lucky to have some amazing weather, but this did mean the house got a bit warm through the day, particularly upstairs. There was a fan available and we took this upstairs which provided some comfort but an open window would have provided a bit more of a comfortable night! Apart from those 2 very minor things, everything was perfect. As I said the owners were very friendly and we spent time talking to them both, the location is fantastic for evening strolls and walks with the dogs. There is an enclosed meadow with a stream that the boys loved. Finding the house was very easy and parking not a problem. Mobile signal is best with o2 apparently which is who we are with so we had no problems but apparently other networks may struggle. Wifi in the house is pretty good too. Thanks very much, we hope to visit again in the future!! Tom & Marie

  We've just returned from a fabulous weeks stay at the wonderful Moelfre Cottage.

  What a wonderfully, cosy cottage and the decor is of a very high standard. Location is exactly what we were looking for, quite remote with stunning views of the mountains but also close enough to the lovely village of Llanbedr which has some lovely pubs to eat in, a convenience store and a cafe that serves lovely take away sandwiches for your travels. The owners of the cottage were very welcoming and friendly and we arrived to find some gorgeous looking cupcakes and they tasted delicious too, a lovely surprise. The owners also have a fabulous campsite just down the road from the cottage with a wonderful waterfall walk and a few other very scenic walks too. We walked there from the cottage, did the waterfalls walk and back again quite easily as a family but you can drive there. We spent a few days local as it is so beautiful there and walking/cycling in either direction from the cottage is a must to take in the scenic views. Harlech is 3 miles away and has a fantastic beach for the whole family, castle (well worth a visit) and some quaint shops. The ice cream parlour sells the best tasting ice cream that I have ever tasted tbh. We spent a couple of days at the beach too, stunning. Other pretty villages that are well worth a visit is Beddlegert and Bettws-y-Coed. We'll definitely return again.

  We have just returned from the most fabulous stay at Moelfre Cottage.

  I cannot fault the stay. From the minute we pulled up to the cottage it felt like home. The location of the cottage is breathtaking. Fabulous, unspoilt views and amazingly peaceful. Set amongst hills and near the farm, the cottage was a little piece of heaven.The little stream running through the back garden was beautiful and the children loved playing in it. Absolutely spotless cottage. The cottage was very well equipped. Bathrooms modern and clean. Bedrooms stunning. The views from every window in the house perfect. Owners were so friendly. Fresh baking on arrival a very thoughtful touch. Fabulous location for visiting Portmerion, Harlech castle and the local beaches. A must was going to Nancol Waterfalls and swimming in the stream. I would 100 percent recommend this cottage and location.

  Had a fantastic week at Moelfre cottage, really lovely property in a stunning location, it was clean and decorated beautifully also well equipped with lovely fluffy towels and the bed was so comfy.

  Loved the peace and quite and just hearing the sound of running water from the stream that runs along the garden, beautiful when you're sitting outside on the balcony and the stunning waterfalls that are not too far just down from the cottage. The cakes we found on arrival were exquisite and the owners were very welcoming and Eleri popped along to see us to check everything was ok. Lots of places to visit nearby, the Vic down in the village is a lovely pub and reasonably priced with a good menu. If we had a slight niggle it would be with the sofas which we found difficult to get comfy on but apart from that everything else we couldn't fault it, my partner also missed his coffeee machine so maybe one of these would make it perfect. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would be happy to return. Thank you

  The cottage had many excellent features, not least the superb situation and not forgetting the delicious cupcakes provided by the friendly owner.

  The main bed was especially comfortable. But there were a few niggles, some mentioned by previous tenants. The sofa was uncomfortable for any length of sitting. There was an unpleasant smell in one kitchen cupboard (only when opened). The lighting did not encourage reading - if only the quality ceiling lights in the kitchen and bedroom had also been installed across the main living area. We thought the heating was barely sufficient in the main room (November, 5-8C outside). It needed a 2nd radiator. We used the electric fan heater most of the time, especially in the morning and when returning late afternoon, to bring the temperature up to a reasonable level. Bedroom warmth was fine though. In summary, we wouldn't hesitate to rent in warmer months but wouldn't in the colder months.
