  • John

    We had one suggestion and they have already have the item on order. The owners were magnificent.

  • Clare

    The kitchen/lounge/dining room and conservatory in particular are stunning. Beautifully furnished with large windows to make the most of the views and the awesome sunsets. The owners have thought of everything and are very easy to contact if you need anything, they had left some lovely edible goodies on arrival. We found the location to be a great base for touring Snowdonia, although I would have been happy to sit in Cartref for the week watching the sheep, birds and the view. We had a great holiday and felt Cartref was a 'home from home'.

  • Linda

    Mari the owner is lovely! Everything you could possibly need is there....very well equipped & extremely comfortable. It was so relaxing to watch the sheep in the field in the morning & evening. Within easy reach Porthmadog with lots of shops, Harlech's stunning beach & an hour away Snowdon of course. Thank you we had a great holiday .
