STS Grade 3 "We were recently invited to view the renovations inside The Tree House and were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and inviting the property is. It's no wonder everyone enjoys returning to this lovely property."

Open countryside and farmland surround this 18th century stone farmhouse and converted granary, with a private indoor swimming pool, situated near the village of Llangybi, between the seaside village of Criccieth (5 mls) and the market town of Pwllheli (7 mls). Porthmadog and the sandy beaches of Black Rock Sands are 10 mls. It has been recently decorated and furnished in a style contemporary to the age of the cottage, which complements the original features such as the open fire in the large inglenook fireplace. It has many returning guests that enjoy the homely welcome the house offers. There is one downstairs bedroom, 3 bedrooms in the farmhouse and 2 further bedrooms in the attached granary, accessed by a second staircase. There is a gated drive, a large parking area to the front and the whole of the garden and grounds are surrounded by a 4 ft stone wall. There are two small ponds in the back garden - one for the fish and the other a bridged wildlife pond for frogs and newts.
The serene countryside setting has a wealth of country lanes, bridle paths and footpaths to wander to enjoy the fresh air. Particularly beautiful nearby is the hidden valley of Cwm Pennant, which follows the river Dwyfor upstream for enjoyable walking and rambling. Criccieth (5 mls) has a historic castle and a quaint selection of shops and good restaurants. Porthmadog (10 mls) is most noted for its leisure harbour and the Ffestiniog Railways steam trains, it too has gift shops and restaurants to please all tastes. The mountains of the Snowdonia National Park is just beyond Porthmadog with Beddgelert village (16 mls) nestling at the foot of Snowdon, Portmeirion 'Italianate' village (13 mls).

Guest Comments:
SM (August 2022): 4.2 STARS "Family holiday celebrating a special birthday. Loved the property, had great character and plenty of room for 13 of us. I would recommend that the owners look at providing fans in the height of the season due to the rooms being very hot, and although a hoover is in the property to keep tidy a mop and bucket would be useful too. (Maybe there was one but we couldn't locate it) The pool was fantastic a good size that could accommodate a large family, much fun was had here. A wonderful holiday with lots of laughter. The property was just ideal and at a reasonable price. I would look at returning in the future with my family."

Mrs S (Sept. 2021): 3 STARS "Cottage was good value based upon facilities offered. The pool was great, but the cottage needs a bit of upgrading and some new mattresses on the beds are a must." Feedback passed on to Property Owner.

Mrs K (Sept. 2020): "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Good attention given to COVID-19 precautions. Location of cottage really good, was peaceful and beautiful gardens, but also close to get out to beaches and attractions. Pool brilliant for family. Owners have thought of everything to make guests stay brilliant."
Mrs A (April, 2019):"We had a lovely family holiday at the Cottage which included the lovely swimming pool which was such a plus with all the children."
Mrs W (April, 2019):"The house was In the perfect location for an action packed, extended family holiday in Snowdonia as well as being the perfect 'retreat' for rest and relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful house and gardens and the location in the countryside suited our needs, providing a central location for our explorations."
Mrs E (October, 2018): "The farmhouse was lovely plenty of space the only minus was the beds were uncomfortable ,the gardens were lovely and to sit quietly in the snug and watch the birds in the garden was special the swimming pool was excellent was in there twice every day."
Miss C (September, 2018): "Nice house with all the necessary. Clean and comfy, just like what I saw in the pictures. The swimming pool amazing. To find the house you must follow the link to the front door otherwise (in the paperwork from STS) a bit difficult to find. It was a lovely week."
