Guests say
Y Bwthyn in Llanbedr is highly praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, convenient location near pubs and shops, and the scenic river setting. The cottage's dog-friendly approach and welcoming atmosphere, including treats for pets and guests, contribute to its charm. Its proximity to Snowdonia and local attractions makes it an ideal base for exploring.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'perfectly clean'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The location is frequently highlighted as great, with proximity to pubs, shops, and beautiful landscapes. The village setting and nearby river add to the appeal, although one mention of a busy side road suggests minor concerns.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the cottage cosy and well-furnished. The presence of a wood fire and underfloor heating are noted as particularly enjoyable features.
Facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, modern design, and maintenance. The presence of ensuite facilities and outdoor space are appreciated, though one comment on underfloor heating issues indicates a slight deduction.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through welcome packs and good communication. While these gestures are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, although likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This wonderful end-terrace cottage is situated in the centre of the village of Llanbedr, opposite the River Artro, close to both Harlech and Barmouth in the Snowdonia National Park. Ideal for a couple, small family or three friends, this delightful holiday home is an ideal base with many places to visit nearby. After parking up, you enter this lovely cottage into an inviting sitting room with a warming woodburning stove and then onto a light and airy kitchen/diner, equipped with all you could need for a memorable self-catering stay. From here are patio doors out onto a raised garden with AstroTurf and slate patio area. Up on the first floor are two charming bedrooms, a double and a twin, both of which have access to their own contemporary en-suites, one with bath and shower over, and the other with a shower. The village of Llanbedr has shops and two pubs, as well as offering bike hire, mountain walks and it’s also situated next to the dunes of a nature reserve and so a variety of wildlife can be seen. Just three miles away is the town of Harlech, which is well worth a visit with its wonderful castle and golf course, and both the resorts of Barmouth and Fairbourne are within reach. Travelling the other way will take you to Italianate village of Portmeirion, and the whole of the National Park can be explored with many walking and cycling routes, as well as venturing to the top of Mount Snowdon. Your adventure to North Wales begins at Y Bwthyn.
Tucked up in a thick forest between the Snowdonia Mountains (including the Rhinogs) and the beautiful golden sands of the North Wales coast is the picturesque settlement of Llanbedr. There are two great pubs in this picturesque village, which is located next to the picturesque River Artro and enjoys a mild climate thanks to its unusual position behind the high dunes of a nature reserve. The area also features a wide variety of wildlife and birds, convenient local shops, bike rental, and access to beautiful mountain walks. A mere four kilometres away, in the little town of Harlech, stands Harlech Castle, the most remarkable of Edward I's fortifications in North Wales and a World Heritage Site since its inclusion on the list in 1987. Golfers go to Harlech for its world-famous Royal St. David's course, but the town also has a beautiful six-mile long sandy beach, great for relaxing strolls and family enjoyment. The nearby town of Barmouth is home to the spectacular Panorama Walk along the stunning Mawddach Estuary, which boasts views that have been called "the most sublime view in Europe" by John Ruskin, as well as a harbour where you can take a ferry to Fairbourne and ride the miniature railway there or head out to sea and try your hand at mackerel fishing. This is an excellent vacation spot all year round due to the presence of Snowdonia National Park and the stunning Cardigan Bay.
