Lee “The description and the pictures do not do the lodge justice.”
In person the lodge is much bigger than expected, with everything a family of seven could need for a holiday. Easy communication with the owner, lovely peaceful location, with lots to see and do, not too far away.

We had a lovely week

Cole “Amazing place would come again!”
- Cole, July 2024Nichola “Adults (x5) family break at this wonderful lodge.”
Like home-from-home. Comfortable, cozy & well equipped. Fantastic location, easy to reach places of interest, with good public transport links if needed. Sitting on the verander early morning was a treat with the local small birds confidently visiting. Owners are helpful & on hand if needed. Would definitely return for another stay.
- Nichola, June 2024Hi Nichola, thank you for your lovely feedback, it is lovely when we have played a part in an enjoyable holiday. Welcome anytime, Sharon. Property Owner
Richard “This lodge is a real gem.”
Such a lovely place to stay in very peaceful surroundings. The lodge is very well equipped to cope with the majority of people’s needs and the owners have thought of everything you might need in the course of your stay, including games and films. It’s hard to find fault with this beautiful lodge, but on a dark miserable rainy day, the kitchen is a little dark. A couple of extra spotlights would be worth putting in. Comfort wise, the sofas aren’t the comfiest, but we’re used to something more “up right”. Our sister and brother in law changed beds after the first two nights as they found the bed a little too soft for them. It’s impossible to cater for every one. The cleanliness of the lodge was excellent apart from crumbs under the placemats on the dining table which had been beautifully laid up for us. Over all 9.5 out of 10.
- Richard, May 2024Hi Richard, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback, we really want guests to enjoy their time there, much appreciated, Sharon. Property Owner
Milly “We had a lovely time at this lodge.”
It was a really cosy weekend. The beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was amazing, only a minute walk to the pub and nice walks in the country side. Thanks!
- Milly, November 2023Thank you for leaving feedback, we're so pleased you enjoyed your time at the lodge, Sharon and Graham. Property Owner
Tammy “Home from home, has everything you need to have a lovely relaxing break away.”
Hot tub would make it even better!
- Tammy, November 2023Hi Tammy, so pleased you enjoyed your time at the lodge. Sorry there is no hot tub it's a personal preference on our part. Kind regards Sharon and Graham. Property Owner
David “A very enjoyable stay at the lodge.”
The facilities are good and we were comfortable. The lodge was clean and tidy and we liked the utility toom, a boon for families. One minor gripe, it would have been nice to be able to use the barbeque.
- David, June 2023Thank you for your comments David, I wish you had asked us about the bbq we could have given you access. Unfortunately we had to restrict access to the bbq due to misuse. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time at the lodge, thank you. Property Owner
Masud “Lodge was perfect for family.”
Let cation is also convenient to visit lots of beaches, mountain, waterfall and specially walking trails. Good and well maintained lodge.
- Masud, June 2023Thank you so much Masud, it's lovely to have positive comments, so pleased you had an enjoyable holiday Property Owner
Charles “I stayed at this site a few years ago and had no problem recommending to my group aging from mid 70 to 83 ,for peace quite with lovely views.”
We got told days before we came some work going on outside but finish Monday it didnt, so we got work site till thur not all day but in mornings ,as we thought we have few days sitting out side and on the Wednesday just want to sit and chat, we recorded the noise we had to put up with that day and I tried both numbers left not getting answer.I did get voice message but due to ill health was wrong time to talk. We went looking forward to relax ing break and booked this for what we thought would get and couldn't have got more different if i had booked Butlins. As I said not saying it wasn't all the time but always when we didn't want it
- Charles, May 2023Steve “Property was first class and could ask no more from a holiday location.”
- Steve, May 2023Thank you Steve, very kind of you and much appreciated. Property Owner
Angela “A well appointed lodge with everything you need.”
Good quality beds, bedding and towels. I would suggest a set of better quality saucepans as the nonstick ones available were badly scratched and we didn't want to use them. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend such a nice house in a beautiful setting.
- Angela, April 2023Hi Angela, Thank you for your feedback. I think you are possibly referring to the larger saucepans as the small ones were replaced recently. I will get the larger ones replaced ASAP. I'm so pleased that you had a good holiday. Property Owner
David “Lovely lodge in nice surroundings in quiet village.”
Nice big rooms and and comfy beds, does get very warm upstairs in the night (well did for us) so we turned heating right down before bed.
- David, March 2023Philip “Very comfortable base from which to enjoy Snowdonia.”
- Philip, August 2022Thank you foe your feedback, kind regards. Property Owner
W Jane “The property is very dark inside & needs better lighting.”
Main bedroom is too small for a double bed & on suite is cramped with mirror at chest height & no facilities for make up mirror & hair dryer mirror plug access. Folder needs updating as out of date & general lack of information I.e. firelighters found on last day! Curtains in the lounge but none over the double entrance doors. Overall not good value for money, however our Grandsons had a great time.
- W Jane, August 2022Kevin “Excellent property and site everything you need and more well prepared and handy ...”
Excellent property and site everything you need and more well prepared and handy for amenities we were group of 4 adults an 18mnth and 3 year old, plenty of games for kids although we did have to put some out of reach of the little one definitely recommend
- Kevin, June 2022Hi Kevin, so pleased you had a good holiday and thank you for taking the time to leave comments, Kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Roy “Very spacious ,comfortable & well equiped .”
Nice private rear & side gardens. Very pleasant ,well kept & laid out site. Ample private parking directly by the Lodge.Only suggestion would be to put non-slip "mats " in the two showers ,as it can be slippy when they are being used & someone could fall..Overall an excellent experience. Fully recommend it .
- Roy, June 2022Lynn “Loved everything about our holiday accommodation was lovely and clean, area beautiful.”
Excellent thank you
- Lynn, May 2022Thank you so much Lynn, so pleased you had a good holiday, Sharon. Property Owner
Jane “The lodge was great, it is well equipped.”
Fantastic amount of kids games, Dvd's and even a games console. Having 3 shower/bathrooms was first class. Great location really quite at night. A problem with the WiFi and phone signal but who really cares we were on holiday and you are in Wales with all the mountains. Sharon was great. Will recommend to everyone we know and will be back.
- Jane, April 2022Hi Jane, thank you so much for your feedback. We are so pleased you had a good holiday. Welcome back any time, kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Gwyneth “All 7 of us Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
Cleanliness was out of this world with a lovely touch when walking in & seeing the table laid out ready. Absolutely stunning lodge inside & out
- Gwyneth, April 2022Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time at the lodge, and it's so kind of you to let other people know. Welcome back anytime, kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Victoria “Property was advertised as pet free which we picked due to childs allergies, ...”
Property was advertised as pet free which we picked due to childs allergies, however the welcome book stated that owners pets were still allowed in the property, this set off my child's allergies, there was visible pet hair on the rugs and in the bedrooms, apart from that it was a nice break away
- Victoria, April 2022Thank you for your feedback, whilst the property is pet free it does say on the website that the owner stays there from time to time with their pets, also we can never guarantee that an assistance dog has been in the property. We have tried to make the note more clear on the website by adding a further red note at the bottom of the page. Property Owner
Ian “Had a lovely week stay at the lodge with our daughter and our friends and their kids.”
The lodge was very well presented and very comfortable, no issues at all. Great location for exploring and the nearby pubs (especially the Victoria inn) were worth a visit or two
- Ian, October 2021Hi Ian, Thank you for your feedback it's very much appreciated. Regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Gillian “Sunset Lodge 6 is in a great location near the coast.”
The village is a short walk away and has a choice of pubs, and a small village shop which is surprisingly well stocked for its size. The lodge is in a very quiet and peaceful setting and feels very private even though you can see the other lodges. It has nearly everything you might need in the kitchen and laundry areas, but do take spare toilet roll, and kitchen scales if you are planning on baking. The lighting downstairs isn't great for reading/playing games but it does give a cosy atmosphere. However, there is an adjustable light by the dining table which helped a lot. There is also a selection of books and games to keep you (and any children) entertained. The bedrooms are a good size and the 2 upstairs have ensuite shower rooms with excellent showers. The owners are helpful and respond quickly to any queries and if we are visiting the area again, Sunset Lodge 6 will be our first choice.
- Gillian, October 2021Hi Gillian, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback it is much appreciated. I have added some kitchen scales now, my daughter also mentioned it when she was there, I'd never thought about it. Thanks again, Sharon. Property Owner
Will “Wonderful lodge, contained everything we needed during the holiday.”
Good selection of DVDs, games, XBOX games which the kids appreciated when the weather turned. Great location, Harlech beach is simply stunning. The mountains are always in view whichever way you look. Ynys Gifftan island in Porthmadog estuary is well worth a trip, visit 3 hrs either side of low tide when you can walk their across the sands (better before low tide as you'll want to stay a while). There's a tiny but surprisingly well stocked shop in the village. So many options for walks through the montains, something for every one. We loved visiting the old ruined settlements around and above Cwmorthin lake, good (sheltered) on a windy day.
- Will, August 2021Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time at the lodge, and it's so kind of you to let other people know. Welcome back anytime, kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Polly “The lodge stated that towels were provided, we were provided with 5 towels for 6 people so luckily we did bring towels with us.”
No hand towels or kitchen towels were provided. Also we were a party with 2 children, there were no bath mats for when leaving the bath or shower and with the wooden floor this was particularly dangerous. The lodge had been cleaned but there was dirt under the sofas, including lego pieces which our 10 month old son found. Luckily no harm done. There was clothing labels down the side of chest of drawers in the front bedroom upstairs. Also, the inform folder could do with updating for future guests. Other things were that the gardener arrived at 9am to cut the grass, we was about to enjoy breakfast on the terrace, another lodge started building work at 8 or 8.15 most mornings (pre-warning would be nice) another morning the gas bottles were changed, information like this could be shared so that you are aware as we understand these things have to be done.
- Polly, June 2021Thank you for your email. Your comments have all been noted. Unfortunately, as you did not contact us during your stay we were not given the opportunity to rectify any issues for you. Should you choose to take a trip with ourselves again and find the property to be unsatisfactory, please ensure you contact ourselves immediately, as we will always endeavor to rectify any problems for our guests. Property Owner
Prue “Such a lovely lodge on a beautiful plot.”
Couldn’t ask for a nicer location.
- Prue, May 2021Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time at the lodge, and it's so kind of you to let other people know. Welcome back anytime, kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Brian “The location was good the Lodge was very comfortable.”
The local amenities were good with a village shop and local hotels serving good food and drink.
- Brian, May 2021Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time at the lodge, and it's so kind of you to let other people know. Welcome back anytime, kind regards, Sharon. Property Owner
Laura “This was a very last min booking (2days before) and Sykes emailed me this hidden Gem.”
It’s a perfect location, great price and had all the amenities in it you could need. It’s a home away from home with great views and a quiet location. We will defo be staying in this lodge again next year! The beds were comfy, there were towels available, the heating worked great and it also had a log burner. Kitchen was full of everything you needed it even had a ‘bit’ draw with sellotape, pins, blue tac and spare batteries. It had two en suits and a main bathroom so no arguing over the shower situ. It even had a utility room to clean up boots and hang coats out the way. It also to the rear had a little garden seating area which we would have used if it was sunny. A great balcony to sit and watch the world go by. Barmouth beach was only a 20 min drive away and the local pubs were very friendly and welcoming too. Overall an amazing staycation. Defo recommend !
- Laura, October 2020Robert “The gutters need maintenance, when it rained the overflow from the gutters drummed down on to the box outside the downstairs bedroom.”
Kept me awake for two nights.
- Robert, August 2020Peter “The best thing about the holiday we had was we did absolutely nothing.”
Both me and my partner work hard all year round so we wanted somewhere were we could just relax for a few days in piece and that's what we did .the cabin has everything to just do that.
- Peter, December 2019Erik “The Cottage was wonderful, really everything was there !”
It was clean, comfortable, well equiped and the park itself was nice and calm. The beach nearby wonderful for the dog who enjoyed her walkes every morning and afternoon, and so did we Nice to have a pub/restaurants close by (2 minute walk). We would lo ve to come back to this cottage.
- Erik, October 2019Nashan “Everything was as advertised!”
- Nashan, October 2019Kerry “Lodge and location was great .”
Owners were very responsive and thought of everything. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone and stay there again.
- Kerry, August 2019Deborah “Great location with stunning scenery everywhere you looked.”
The site is very peaceful with 3 pubs close by. Would highly recommend the snowdonia alpaca experience only 25minutes away. It’s a shame that the owner of the site does no longer want dogs as there are many lovely walks close by.
- Deborah, July 2019Richard “The accommodation was very good in terms of space, comfort, equipment and location.”
The village shop and restaurants, of which Ty Mawr was the best in our opinion, were within easy walking distance. Access to the beach by car was £7.50 a day at the nearby Shell Island camping site but cheap and easy at Llandanwg and Harlech within a ten minute drive north. Lots of attractive walking country inland from the house up the pretty Artro valley. An excellent base for Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway trips too starting thirty minutes away at Porthmadog via the new bridge at Perhyndeudraeth.
- Richard, June 2019Stephanie “We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”
The log cabin was perfect, it had everything we needed and was a great base for us to explore the area. We would definitely stay here again.
- Stephanie, April 2019Barry “Great location Llanbedr superb base balcony gets sun in afternoon so great for ...”
Great location Llanbedr superb base balcony gets sun in afternoon so great for relaxing with a drink after a days exploring
- Barry, March 2019Gareth “The lodge we stayed in was as described and very well equipped.”
It was in lovely small village which had two hotels both with bar/restaurant a pub, shop and cafe. We have a dog and all were dog friendly and had a good meal in the Hafan Artro. We would happily stay here again.
- Gareth, September 2018John “Excellent property well suited to our needs ground floor bedroom and bathroom plus two large bedrooms upstairs with en-suite shower and toilet facilities.”
Wifi and a porch which is perfect for relaxing with a brew. Ten minutes in the car to the closest beach and some good walks available from the front door. A nice football area for the children on site, in short enjoyed by all three generations of the family and we would use again.
- John, August 2018Colin “Everything about this holiday was perfect from the location to the accommodation .”
- Colin, August 2018Kay “Good facilities and comfort however Lodge was dark inside even during day and we had to have lights on to read.”
