Guest Comments:
CT (Jan 2024): 5 STARS "Instructions to finding the house were clear but we struggled at first- glad we arrived when it was light. The location is the biggest selling point , along with three bathrooms. We loved the area as there is so much to see and do. Would definitely stay again.
GG (July 2023): 3.8 STARS "First time visit to Portmerion and Snowdonia. A wonderful week away staying at the artists cottage providing Breathtaking views surrounded by mountains, and walking distance from Portmerion. The cottage is delightful and suitably equipped ( although in need of some modernisation ). Highly recommended :)"
SPC (May 2023): 5 STARS "Already planning next visit. Location unbeatable ( though steady driving on the public Bridle Path - advice not a criticism , adds to the secluded charm) Lots of space inside and out , beautiful garden and spectacular views . Very well equipped and nice touch of the welcome tea, coffee & Welsh Cakes - thank you Gwen ! This was our third year of visiting and it gets better each time ! Our extended family now range from 4 to 75 and everyone was catered for - the cottage is on split levels but there are handy grab rails and the brand new walk-in shower is excellent !"
