  This lovely cottage is tiny.

  It is not suitable for large people or those with any sort of mobility issues. It is situated on the main road between Barmouth and Dolgellu and the traffic is fast and frequent. Parking is a shallow bay that has spaces for the cottage and the adjacent cottage. The key safe is all the way to the right of the cottage currently under a bush so a torch or phone light needs to be used to see the numbers. There is a step up into the accommodation, coat hooks to the left but no where to put wellies or muddy boots so bring something to put down. The windows are double glazed so that noise is at a minimum. There is a low sofa, a small tv with sky box which (as has been mentioned in previous reviews) is fairly useless because of it's positioning. The small kitchen is basically but adequately equipped. There is a small table and two chairs and a welsh dresser which houses the plates and cooking casserole dishes. The bathroom has a heated towel rail, a fan heater and a small wash basin. There is an 8 inch step up into the shower. The shower is electric and we found it difficult to regulate. The water drains slowly and fills the shower tray quickly so long hot showers are not advised. The toilet is a saniflo system which is noisy and makes the cottage lights flicker. The stairs to the upper floor are steep. The upstairs room is spacious and delightful. The tv is small and has freeview. There are two chairs and a coffee table at the window with room around them that doesn't obstruct the very comfortable double bed. Towels, four pillows and a duvet are provided but there are additional textiles in the blanketbox. A small waist high hanging rail has 7 hangers, and there is a chest of drawers for storage as well. Velux windows for ventilation and a fire escape door. Outside the terrace is very nice but reached by steep stairs which have no hand rail. It is warm, dry and clean and we enjoyed our stay despite the inclement weather.

  Really excellent accommodation in an ideal place.

  The holiday let was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Great views of Dolgellau and the Cadair Idris mountains with sheep and cows in the field at the back, stayed here about 3 years ago and since then the kitchen has been refurbished to a lovely standard. Owner is next door but leaves you alone. I guess the only negative was being used to a much larger smart TV at home the TV was small and had limited freeview channels; an internet connection to the TV would help, not that we go on holiday to watch TV but the weather was cold for June. Ideal base for some lovely beach resorts and Eryri National Park. We found Bedgellert lovely, Betwys-coed very touristy with rip-off prices. Done 3 of the walks in the guest book, Torrent walk is free , close by and excellent. Saw dolphins at Tywyn which is a lovely place with a great beach. Would highly recommend.

  Perfect holiday accommodation.

  Very comfortable and clean. Lovely views from windows - fields at the rear and mountain views from the front. Comfortable bed and good shower. 10 minute walk into Dolgellau down hill. Quite steep on the way back. We hired electric bikes from Dolgellau Cycles - very nice man in the shop. We cycled the Mawddach Trail - very flat and easy ride to Barmouth. Very clean beaches at Fairfield, Towyn, Aberdyfi (good fish and chip shop on the front) and Barmouth. Lovely ride on Talyllyn Railway to Dolgoch waterfalls. We booked Sunday lunch at The Torrent Walk Hotel which was delicious and the small plate option is very good value with a lovely rhubarb crumble to follow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Penty and highly recommend this property.

  The converted barn was superb, beautifully decorated and in an amazing location.

  The property had every home comfort and luxury that you could wish for, the views from the balcony are unbeatable watching the sun rise and set over the mountains. We loved being surrounded by the sheep, cows, horses and visits from the cats during the week. The owners were really friendly and helpful and we definitely intend to return as the whole holiday was brilliant. The area of Snowdonia is wonderful for walking, cycling, sight seeing and relaxing, what an amazing part of the world. We specifically came to stay in the area for the Mach loop where fast jets practice low level flying but the mountain walks are really great too, loads of castles and tourist attractions in all directions.

  The best cottage we have ever stayed at as a family.

  5 ***** standard. The views of the mountains from the upstairs living area are outstanding. The cows and sheep with their young, which was the back garden view, was just beautiful. The cottage itself has everything you need and more. I took everything with me as have stayed at many properties that didn't have eg a tea towel / washing up liquid etc but I brought it all home again as Dawn who manages the property has made sure absolutely everything is catered for. We had a welcome gift when we arrived too which was delicious! I would highly recommend this property and hope to return. Well done Y Penty.
