“A little gem of a cottage with fantastic outdoor facilities and glorious woodland settings one of the best we have stayed at , the narrow spiral staircase could be a problem for some as was the drive to the cottage, but the advantages were that we were in the heart of North Wales, short distance from the George 111 Hotel that provides excellent food and drink , we could have done with a small heater or radiator downstairs as not convenient to light the log burner before breakfast overall an excellent place to stay, hope to go back.”

“The cottage is really nice, well thought out and generally comfy.”

Just a couple of observations though, it could do with coat hooks in the living area as there is nowhere to hang your coat if it rains. It could also do with a larger sofa. It's a bit snug and not big enough. After a while it start to get really uncomfortable. Apart from that all was good and we will definitely be back.

“A lovely little cottage the garden area came in very handy as we were lucky to have gorgeous weather.”

The house was well equipped with everything. Would definitely recommend.

“The property was in a lovely location, and was of high quality.”

However, it was a bit disappointing that there was no welcome pack at all, one loo roll provided for 5 day stay and no hand wash in the bathroom, all minor issues but given the cost I think you’d think these may be included. The couch is small and meant that comfort was missing from downstairs area. However the kitchen had good facilities and all you could need and the bedroom was nice too! Being near the George pub and trail - such a pretty setting, was ideal. Overall a lovely break and stay.

“What a lovely modern cottage ideal for 2.”

Quite a home from home. Lovely and quiet location with a great outdoor space. Great walks from the property. The spiral staircase is quite different, however is very narrow, which could pose a problem with some people. Would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to return.

“We really enjoyed our holiday at this cottage.”

It’s small but cozy, even with our two whippets! The cottage has everything you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom. The best part was probably the enclosed outside area with a roofed seating space. We had a lovely barbecue and sat by the fire when it got colder. The location is amazing and it was easy to get to all the main hikes. It’s also just a 5 min walk to a fantastic pub - George III - by the quaint toll bridge over the estuary. The host was very helpful and quick to respond too. Although it wasn’t a problem for me, the only thing was that the spiral staircase was very steep and rather narrow, which my partner found a bit harder to navigate. Overall, though, we and our hounds loved our holiday at Y Bwthyn. Thank you for having us!

“A beautiful, cosy cottage with amazing views”

“We had a wonderful stay at Y Bwthyn.”

The property has been cleverly renovated and has almost all it needs for a very comfortable stay. The garden is perfect and made our stay! We enjoyed lovely evenings sat outside with our dogs, and everything has been thought of in terms of outdoor comfort. In the cottage, there are a few things that would be helpful (e.g a hand towel upstairs and downstairs, a place to hang coats) but more importantly, I feel the owners and Sykes need to provide more information to potential visitors on the spiral staircase in the property. Living in a home with a spiral staircase, we thought it would be fine but it is a very narrow, steep spiral staircase which takes time and care to navigate. Not necessarily an issue, but it needs to be made clear so that future visitors can decide for themselves if it will pose them an issue. The area is gorgeous and as locals ourselves, we’d recommend the Mawddach trail, the Torrent Walk Hotel in Dolgellau and the George for drinks and food!
