Hidden cottage in the forest- Elan Valley
Lovely stay, stunning gardens - would have been good to know there are other holiday lets immediately next to the property the listing does give the impression it’s totally isolated but thankfully there were no guests in the other houses while we were there.

Cosy house with hot tub and stunning valley views
A wonderful place to stay. Easy to find, stunning views, relaxing and everything you could need. The N64 was great entertainment in the evening. Watching the birds in the morning is a great way to start the day, and a soak in the hot tub a great way to end it. Niamh, Dave and Osian are wonderful hosts, really helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning, thank you 😊

Sheep Dip Cottage - 5* Cyfie Farm, private hot tub
What a beautiful spot! I really needed a “break from it all” and this cottage had it all. Clean, warm, cosy in an absolutely stunning location. Surrounded by green fields and trees, animals, lakes and beautiful gardens. The hot tub was just Devine, especially at night when the fairy lights came on. I’ve never felt so toasty- the underfloor heating was so effective, especially as we had a cold weekend weatherwise. Welshpool is a lovely town to visit and the local waterfalls are stunning. We had a great walk around Lake Vrynwy and the Giants Hand is a must see. Lovely to see the farm animals, and the added bonus was a secure paddock for the dogs to run in. Thank you so much Theresa xxxx

Luxury hideaway with hot tub & amazing views
Throughly enjoyed my stay! Absolutely stunning surroundings, plenty to do and fab hosts in Lisa & Martin. Will definitely visit again!

Cottage for two with Hot tub on Mt Snowdon
Had a lovely weekend break at Rosie’s property, the location was excellent just off the Rhyd Ddu path and in a lovely quaint quiet area. The cottage had everything you could ask for and was very clean and tidy, the hot tub being a lovely little touch. Had a really great experience from start to finish, Rosie was very helpful and the instructions provided were excellent. Would recommend to anyone contemplating!

Tŷ Cacwn, cottage with stunning views and hot tub.
From the moment we arrived, this Airbnb truly exceeded all expectations. The views are nothing short of stunning, the setting was pure magic. The house itself had absolutely everything we could possibly need. Every detail was thoughtfully considered from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy, comfortable furnishings that made it feel like home instantly. Our host was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay. Quick to respond, full of great local tips, and genuinely welcoming (and it made all the difference). If you’re looking for peace, beauty, and a seamless getaway, this place is a gem. We can’t wait to return!

The Barn
Absolute perfection! It was exactly as described and the view was gorgeous. Andrew even helping with a flat tyre while we were there so the extra help was greatly appreciated

Hawddamor cottage with wood burner & ** Hot tub **
We stayed with our baby and 3 dogs. Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed, including high chair and books/toys. Perfect location and beautiful surroundings. Paul was great to chat to and gave good local reccomendations for dog walks, beaches and places to eat. Hot tub was ideal as well!! Would recommend

Romantic Grade 2 Listed Cottage in Maentwrog
We had a great stay in Catrin’s cottage. The location was ideal for us - in a picturesque, quiet village, but within easy driving distance of Portmeirion, Harlech Castle, the Ffestiniog Railway and all of the other attractions in and around the Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park. There was also an excellent restaurant and pub (The Grapes) within a few minutes’ walk - Sunday lunch there was a particular highlight. The cottage itself was cosy, comfortable, well designed and equipped with everything that we needed. The quirky design made the most of the available space, and the view of the Vale of Ffestiniog from the kitchen and bedroom windows was magnificent. The log burner was a bonus, especially as we ‘enjoyed’ some typical North Wales weather during our stay! Catrin was an excellent host, and the pre-check in information that she provided meant that we were able to find the cottage easily despite its secluded location. Overall highly recommended - we’d definitely stay again.

Romantic Cottage in Picturesque Maentwrog Village
What a beautiful place to stay! The cottage has been renovated to an extremely high standard. The quality of everything from the tableware to the bathroom fittings, all excellent. With really thoughtful welcoming touch’s. A truly special place to stay!

Hafod y Rhedwydd, an off-grid cottage in an SSSI
an amazing location, far away from it all. Exactly what I wanted!

Glyndwr Barn
We spent three lovely nights in Glyndwr Barn. The barn has been sympathetically restored and allows the history of the timber and stone building to be the star of the show. The setting is beautiful with uninterrupted cascading views of the verdent Welsh hills. It's very tranquil and a great place to sit outside and listen to the birds and take in the majesty off beautiful Wales. The barn was very clean any welcoming. Local eggs, milk, butter and Welsh cakes and treats were much appreciated. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. It's truly a rural idyll but close enough to the A5 to get you to all the breathtaking beauty and bounty of North Wales.

Yellowstone cottage.
Lovely cottage and a great host,

Characterful Farm Cottage off the beaten track
The cottage is just beautiful and Pete and Julie were very kind hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and our kids loved the horses. We would definitely recommend this place.

Cosy Cottage in Corris-One wellbehaved dog welcome
A beautiful traditional cottage in Corris. Just 5 mins drive from the Mindfordd path of Cader Idris car park. Tea/coffee and sugar and condiments in the kitchen. Good selection of cooking utensils. Large bedroom, plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. Drawers. Cleaning products were useful as house was immaculately clean. Warm and cosy downstairs with a beautiful small outdoor back area. The sheltered spaces were super cute. Local Shop is only open Wednesday-Saturday. Quite little village, pub is 1 minute walk away.

Owl Cottage, Goetre Hall, Meifod Mid Wales
Fantastic stay, out of the way and felt like we had un plugged which is exactly what we wanted, local knowledge in the guide was great and we had fantastic walks and views on our doorstep. Freshly made cake was also waiting for us when we arrived and Steve was a great host. Thankyou again

Stunning Country Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Hafan. It’s a beautiful cottage, very well appointed, everything has been thought of. It’s a real home from home. We would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends (in fact we already have!)

Cwt Glo eco cottage Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)/ Zip World
This Airbnb was adorable, cozy and perfect for a few days exploring the Snowdonia and Anglesey areas. It’s central to a lot of the activities in the area. The hosts included thoughtful touches. Would definitely stay again.

Glanydon - Romantic Getaway near Cadair Idris.
My partner and I had a wonderful time at Glanydon cottage. The cottage itself is really cosy and homely, with a well equipped kitchen. Ceri, our host, was so wonderfully welcoming - even bringing my partner a Birthday card! Ceri left some delicious homemade breakfast bits - a special shout out to the pineapple jam and granola - as well as some lovely cakes on arrival. Corris is a beautiful village, with a lively pub & Idris stores nearby for a nice coffee, and there are some beautiful walks in the area, including several starting from the front door. Overall, we felt right at home and we’ll certainly be visiting again :)

Cae Iago
Stayed for two nights while climbing in Snowdonia, was a beautiful base camp. Very quiet and peaceful area. Aaron’s instructions for getting to the airbnb were super clear & his recommendations for food were great. (Plas Yn Dre do amazing food) Would stay again, especially when the weather is nice.

The Hovel, cosy country cottage
The Hovel is a wonderful cottage set in the most beautiful gardens. We walked round the gardens a few evenings and each time found a bit we hadn't seen before. Our kids loved the trampoline and playfort. The accomodation itself is warm and welcoming, the kids greatly appreciated the homemade bread and bowl of jellybeans on arrival. They also enjoyed cosying up round the log burner and watching a film using the projector on the inevitable rainy days. Hosts were lovely and welcoming but not intrusive. They also make great cakes in the cafe! The dogs were an added bonus for us, my daughter had a little cry when we left them on the final day. Location wise the cottage is perfectly situated for accessing both mid and North Wales with lots of places to visit within an hour's drive through breathtaking scenery. I couldn't sum it up better than my husband saying on our final day that it might well be his favourite place on earth.

Beautiful, High Quality, Riverside Cottage
We had a fabulous 5 nights at Jon & Amie’s little cottage. It was spotless and well appointed, although a tray for taking food and drink outside would be a useful addition. The location is stunning and we didn’t find the close proximity to the road and bridge any problem; the road is surprisingly busy and you must take great care when driving out of the parking space. Overall it was excellent! Thank you Jon and Amie!!

Cosy Snowdonia cottage with panoramic sea views
Just one point , we are quite elderly and the furniture in the lounge is very low and we struggled to get up off it, we got round that by putting all the pillows off the beds to higher it , also the path down to the cottage from the parking space is quite uneven , we are 80 and 75 but it wouldn’t be a problem for anyone surefooted . The balcony is just FANTASTIC

Capel Pennant
Absolutely fantastic - excellent location and great little clean place with everything you could need. Fantastic hosts and great value for money, would definitely stay again!
