“We had a wonderful week at Grafog farm.”

The Welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. The house was so homely and comfortable that it really was a home from home. Serena and Simon were lovely hosts, always friendly and caring. We enjoyed visiting Elvis and Alfie, the horses every morning and also seeing the new foal. The area is great for visiting Llyn and we particularly liked visiting the Dorothea quarry just a short distance away. It was great for photography. We hope to come back soon.

Lovely to have you to visit, glad you enjoyed Dorothea quarry at Nantlle it is very interesting and so much history. Hopefully you had some great photos from that area. Thank you for visiting and for the kind words. Best wishes, Simon, Serena, Elvis & Alfie! Property Owner

“Grafog farm cottage is beautiful, we didn’t want to leave.”

The hosts have really thought of everything, it really is like a home from home. It was also so clean and tidy. The kitchen is so well equipped, beds are comfortable, plenty of towels and all other amenities you could need for your stay. The fireplace in the living room is beautiful, on arriving at the farm house the hosts had pre-made the fire for us, put ice in the freezer and left a lovely welcome basket of goodies, fresh eggs and milk and butter in the fridge, so gratefully appreciated after a long drive. The location is perfect for exploring, beautiful beaches, castles, lakes, mountains and zip worlds all within an hours drive at the most. We met Simon and he happily showed our boys their horses and was very friendly, I have also had email contact with Serena as we left an item behind that she kindly offered to post on to us. I would definitely recommend this beautiful farm house and we would love to go back, thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Rachel, August 2024

We are very pleased you all enjoyed your stay here. All the horses love the attention! Thank you for your lovely review, and may see you all again at some point. Best wishes, Simon & Serena Property Owner
Siobhan August 2024

“No other word for it "Perfect" Thankbyou so much for the welcome pack & the eggs on the doorstep in the morning.”

We would have stayed another week if we could. Loved the horses, Elvis was a delight. Thank you, memories were made with the family. Xx

- Siobhan, August 2024

We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday here, and thank you for taking the time to write a very kind review. Elvis loves cuddles and likes to see all the comings and goings from his stable! Thank you all Take care Simon & Serena x Property Owner
Rebecca April 2024

“We very much enjoyed our stay in Grafog Cottage.”

The cottage was perfect and Simon and Serena were excellent hosts. Thank you very much for the extremely generous welcome hamper and all the eggs! We have been to many cottages over the years and this was certainly one of the best - well located for Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula and Anglesey, beautifully decorated, cosy and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.

- Rebecca, April 2024

Thank you so much for the kind words. Sorry the sun didn’t make much of an appearance for your visit, but glad you managed to enjoy the area. Take care and have a lovely summer, Simon & Serena Property Owner
Samantha February 2024

“We have just returned from a wonderful few days away staying at Grafog Cottage having wished that we had booked to stay for a week.”

It is such a beautiful cottage with everything you could wish for provided and such comfy beds - our children were very happy to have a double bed each too! Our dog loved the garden and settling down in front of the aga and the log burner. The welcome gifts from the owners were a lovely surprise when we arrived. The location is perfect for exploring so many beautiful areas - Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula or Anglesey are just a short drive away. We’re already thinking about when we will be able to come back to stay.

- Samantha, February 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to write the lovely review. Glad you enjoyed the break, clever dog knows the best spots to snooze! Best wishes , Simon & Serena. Property Owner
Chad October 2023

“Very lovely and kind owners who live next door.”

Place was clean and very homey. Kids said the cottage was the best part of the holiday.

- Chad, October 2023

Thank you for visiting Grafog, glad the children enjoyed the holiday and the cottage Property Owner
Anne September 2023

“This was a delightful cottage .”

We had 5 adults and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room . The cottage was spotless on arrival and Simon and Serena were always on hand to answer our queries . The garden was lovely and was very secure for our 2 dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There was a hamper on arrival which we were very grateful for and a further batch of fresh eggs were delivered mid week. We ate in most nights which we found to be a pleasant experience and had great fun trying to master the Aga! In fact one night we managed to produce a very tasty meal with fresh produce from the local farm shop and butchers which was within walking distance . We did eat out one night and can recommend the Goat Inn - super food , and well staffed which is not so usual these days . The cottage is very well situated in a peaceful location for exploring all of Snowdonia . All in all we regard this cottage as one of the best we have stayed in so far and would highly recommend. In fact , we have decided to return next year!

- Anne, September 2023

We really appreciate your very kind words Anne. So happy you and the family (and the four legged part of the family! Property Owner
Dunstan September 2023

“A really lovely cottage - very well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a great location.”

- Dunstan, September 2023

Thank you for visiting, we try and have the cottage with everything guests may need (hopefully a home from home!) Glad the weather was kind for some sight seeing. Simon & Serena Property Owner
Sally September 2023

“A very enjoyable stay in a comfortable cottage, perfect hosts and a beautiful area.”

Couldn't fault it, even the weather was excellent! It is worth noting that there is some road noise and a small campsite adjacent to the garden of the property, so not completely isolated.

- Sally, September 2023

Thank you for the review Sally. Sykes did previously mention there was a small campsite adjacent, but it seems they have now amended it without our knowledge! We have been in touch with them to rectify the write up again for future guests. Property Owner
Margaret August 2023

“We have just returned from a two week family stay at Grafog Farm.”

What an amazing place. Serena and Simon have thought of everything. We have stayed at numerous cottages and this one by far was the best equipped. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen and lounge were great for the 7 of us and has adequate seating. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable with plenty of storage. A well appointed bathroom with both bath and store are shower was fine for everyone. The downstairs toilet was a godsend. On arrival we were greeted with a wonderful welcome package that had everything you could wish for. Grafog Farm is set within the working farm but equally private. Mr Kellogg, the family rooster didn’t really bother us. The Sheep Gees came frequently to see what was going on.

- Margaret, August 2023

Thank you for the very kind review Margaret. So glad you and the family enjoyed the area and the cottage, and had a lovely break despite the weather in summer! Maurice, Robin and Barry (the Sheep Gees) are a nosy lot Property Owner
Denise June 2023

“What a fabulous cottage, truly a home from home.”

Spotlessly clean and well equipped, with spacious rooms very nicely decorated and furnished. The hosts have very thoughtfully provided the cottage with everything their guests could need and the welcome basket left for us on arrival was an additional very pleasant surprise. There are lots of brochures, maps and information about the area, as well as instructions for all the appliances. We didn’t want for anything. Grafog Cottage is private, but not isolate, with plenty of parking and its own garden which isn’t overlooked. Its location was perfect for us; a 10 minute drive into Caernarfon and 20-40 minutes easy driving to just about every where else in the Snowdonia region, including Llanberis, Anglesey, Conwy, Llyn Peninsula, Harlech and Portmeirion. Don’t hesitate – book it!

- Denise, June 2023

Thank you very much for the lovely review. We are pleased you had a great time exploring what North Wales has to offer. We seem to be in a good location for those who want to go out and explore the area. Best wishes Simon & Serena. Property Owner
Sally April 2023

“We arrived to an immaculately clean house.”

There was a beautiful hamper included. We were greated when we arrived, and the owners were always on hand if we need them. Equally we felt like we had complete privacy and didn't feel intruded upon at all. The rear garden is very dog secure which was wonderful and very important to us with our escape artist collie. The instructions for everything in the house were clear and easy to follow. The wood burner was laid ready to light with a few nights of wood and paper to get us started. The beds are comfortable and the whole house was always warm. There is a footpath accessible from the top of the farm without having to cross a road, but there is also a cycle path just on the other side of the road with great access to surrounding villages. It was quiet and beautiful and just what we needed thank you!

- Sally, April 2023

We also have a collie who can magically disappear! Glad you enjoyed the stay and thank you. Property Owner
Philippa April 2023

“We had a fantastic 4 night stay.”

The cottage is really lovely and cosy, especially loving the log fire and Aga! Perfect size for 6 people and was lovely and clean with all the facilities we needed. Also a great location to explore the local area.

- Philippa, April 2023

Hi all Glad Agatha the Aga was a hit, we do like coming home on a cold day walking to some warmth, so Agatha was purchased! Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a kind review. Best wishes Serena & Simon Property Owner
Eleanor March 2023

“Everything was absolutely perfect!”

Property was finished to such a high standard but still felt homely and comfortable for dogs. Hard flooring downstairs and a boot/utility room was ideal! Enclosed gardens too. Plenty of parking for my large truck. Beds and sofas were comfy and the shower was great, much needed after days out. Locations perfect for beaches, mountains, trips to Anglesey. Beautiful welcome package and fresh eggs during our stay, plus a good supply of logs (the fire was built for our first night, lovely touch thank you!) The animals there were gorgeous! Honestly couldn't recommend more and can't wait to go back. Hosts were both super approachable but respectful. Only down fall, the photos don't do it justice!

- Eleanor, March 2023

We cannot thank you enough for the lovely review. Anglesey has some great beaches and walks, hope Otto enjoyed them Property Owner
Amanda October 2022

“A beautiful, comfortable and home from home.”

It had everything we needed and more including thoughtful touches from the owners, such as a Smart TV and welcoming treats. Thank you for a wonderful stay and house.

- Amanda, October 2022

Thank you for your kind comments, we do try and make the cottage as homely, easy living as possible. Glad you all enjoyed it, thank you for visiting Property Owner
Megan September 2022

“Such a lovely cottage, so clean and tidy, had everything we needed and more, lovely sized rooms, great secure back garden for our dogs, big kitchen table so we could all eat our aga cooked meals at the table together!”

My sister Met Simon a couple of times and said he was lovely and asked if we had everything we needed which was really nice of him! Lovely surroundings and Serena and Simon's horses and cats (especially Socks!) Made our cosy days at the cottage really lovely. Great location, easy to access and close to some really lovely places worth visiting such as Beddgelert and Anglesey! Thank you both

- Megan, September 2022

Socks does like to greet everyone Property Owner
Sandra September 2022

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage.”

Came back rested as so peaceful yet attractions not far away. Try the local butchers at the farm shop. Beautiful and tasty meat. Will definitely return to Grafog farm. Thank you.

- Sandra, September 2022

Thank you Sandra. Really happy you had a relaxing peaceful break. Also thank you for mentioning Dafydd and his team at the butchers, perfect produce for tasty roasts or barbecues. We may see you again soon, best wishes Serena & Simon. Property Owner
Meryl September 2022

“A lovely clean, well equipped, comfortable cottage.”

We had a great family holiday and enjoyed exploring North Wales, close to the mountains and sea!

- Meryl, September 2022

Thank you for the kind feedback. We are lucky to have the super location where the hills and the sea is on the doorstep. Glad you enjoyed the area. Property Owner
Kathleen September 2022

“Lovely couple ,could not be more helpful.”

The cottage was prettier than expected in beautiful setting. Central to amenities and beaches only short drive away, all clean sandy beaches dog friendly too. Would love a cosy winter stay there too, it would be perfect.

- Kathleen, September 2022

Glad you enjoyed the beaches, there are many beautiful hideaway beaches to choose from for lovely walks. Thank you for staying. Property Owner
Claire August 2022

“A wonderful cottage to enjoy a week getting away from it all.”

The cottage was spotless and beautifully presented with a lovely basket of goodies for our arrival (including fresh eggs laid by the resident hens). We stayed during the summer but it would be a wonderful place to visit in the winter when you could really take advantage of the Aga and wonderful inglenook! The cottage had everything we needed and we particularly appreciated the large fridge and the utility room was perfect for the dogs.

- Claire, August 2022

Thank you for the wonderful kind words, glad you all enjoyed the break in the cottage. The dogs would love the inglenook in the colder months Property Owner
Esther July 2022

“We had a very comfortable stay and a fantastic holiday in this lovely cottage.”

Plenty of space and everything you would need. The area is beautiful and the location is great with easy access to beaches, mountains and sightseeing . Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

So pleased you all enjoyed your stay with us, in the most glorious weather! Thank you so much for the recommendation. Property Owner

Jane July 2022

“Our cottage was absolutely perfect for our family holiday, our hosts were very welcoming and always on hand if we needed anything.”

Location was also perfect for where we wanted to visit. This was the first time for a cottage holiday and definitely will not be the last, Thankyou.

- Jane, July 2022

Thank you Jane for your kind feedback. We are glad you could all enjoy a family holiday together, even in the heatwave! So glad you managed to visit the places on your list. Best wishes Simon & Serena. Property Owner
Mike June 2022

“Fantastic property, ideally situated for Snowdonia.”

The property itself is spacious, with four good sized rooms, perfect for larger family getaways. Upon entering the property we found that the owners had provided a 'welcome hamper' containing many essentials, which was a really nice touch. We were also provided with fresh eggs from the farm which were absolutely delicious. All-in-all a fantastic property run by lovely people, we can't wait to return!

- Mike, June 2022

Tea and cake always helps after a long journey! Glad you all enjoyed the farmhouse and the area, may see you again in the future. Thank you. Property Owner
Andrew June 2022

“Grafog is a cosy and well equipped cottage.”

The owners, Simon and Serena, live next door. They were amazing hosts, friendly and always helpful. Grafog has a great big kitchen, and we enjoyed the challenge of learning to cook on an Aga. There’s plenty of parking, a secluded garden, and decent WiFi. A second bathroom would be a bonus for a larger group. Grafog is set back from a main road which means fast access north to Caernarfon and south to Criccieth and Porthmadog. If you cross the main road there’s a very long cycle track which is great for walking the dog. We’d happily return to Grafog; recommended.

- Andrew, June 2022

Thank you for the kind feedback and for visiting Grafog. Lovely to have met you and perhaps will see you again at some point. Property Owner
Christine May 2022

“We loved the cottage clean warm and comfortable.”

It is well equipped and spacious. The location was good for access to the National park and the Llyn peninsula. Excellent for dog owners! Hosts were helpful but mot intrusive.

- Christine, May 2022

Glad you enjoyed the area and especially Glynllifon Park, it is a beautiful place. Thank you all for visiting. Property Owner
Emma April 2022

“Beautiful cottage.”

Only improvement we would recommend is, given the property accepts dogs it was a shame that the back garden isnt secure.

- Emma, April 2022

Thank you for the feedback. It is slightly difficult to fully enclose the garden for agile dogs, but we hope the use of the two acre field was of help to exercise the three dogs and keep them happy. Thank you for visiting. Property Owner
Chris March 2022

“Great cottage, couldn't fault anything!”

Great location, clean, friendly owners Strongly recommend and I would book again!

- Chris, March 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay, thank you for the kind words. Property Owner
Karolynne February 2022

“The cottage was absolutely wonderful.”

A lovely selection of goodies had been left for us and the house was spotless. It was a perfect size for a family of 5 with a teenager and 2 grown up children as they all had their own room. Lovely kitchen with everything we could possibly need. Perfect location for visiting attractions like Zip World, Anglesey, Portmeirion, Llanberis and Caernarfon Castle to name but a few. Tesco and Morrisons just down the road for shopping - we booked a Tesco delivery for the day after we arrived. The fresh eggs from the farm were most welcome... absolutely delicious. Storm Eunice meant we had to stay in for our last day but we spent a lazy day playing the games in the cottage with the fire roaring. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Karolynne, February 2022

Thank you so much for the recommendation , glad Eunice didn’t spoil the break too much! Property Owner
Martin December 2021

Great location for access to the mountains, and a lovely cottage too. Absolutely recommended.

Stephen September 2021

“Gorgeous characterful house, owners next door very friendly and helpful, small campsite next to house but very quiet when we visited.”

Very quiet location but 2 local villages only 2 mins by car, 20 mins walk, only 5 miles from Caernafon and Bangor, Angelsey etc. We would definitely recommend this property and would book again.

- Stephen, September 2021
Claire August 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Grafog farm.”

Serena and Simon we lovely and very welcoming. The cottage is very cosy and once we had got used to Doreen( the Rayburn) all was good. It is in a good central location we lots at things to do near by. Having the Lon eifion so close was great for the dogs to have a good safe run. Thank you so much for a very enjoyable holiday

- Claire, August 2021
Rachael July 2021

“The cottage was comfortable, extremely clean with nice outside space.”

Simon and Serena are great hosts, providing information as well as lots of fresh eggs. We had a throughly enjoyable week and would happily return

- Rachael, July 2021

“Beautiful house in a wonderful location.”

Really didn't want to go home. Lovely welcome goodies and fresh eggs throughout our stay. Very thoughtful hosts. Thanks so much.

- Rebecca, July 2021
Robin July 2021

“Excellent cottage, well located for touring.”

We had a fantastic week of weather so enjoyed the outside space and public rooms were great for our family gathering. Kitchen really well stocked and clean. Owners were really friendly and helpful, and lovely seeing their horses and chickens around. Only issue for us was that the floor is a bit uneven in the old cottage as you might expect but not perfect for infirm guests. Otherwise a brilliant week.

- Robin, July 2021
Helen June 2021

“This is the best holiday we've had a for a long time.”

North Wales is just beautiful and Grafog Cottage was an absolute treat. From start to finish, we felt very welcome and little things like the bara brith and fresh eggs from the farm made it even more welcoming. It felt like a home from home and I could have stayed all summer. Being an older cottage I was worried the ceilings would be low but we had ample head room so at 6 foot 2 we had no issues. The enclosed garden was lovely and we enjoyed many a mealtime out on the picnic table and used the barbecue. The dog was very happy and the kids had space to run around. The floors creak and the doors squeak but it's full of character and you can tell the owners put the time and effort into making it cosy and welcoming. It is well equipped and don't think we wanted for anything in terms of facilities. Plenty hot water when you need it, just remember to pop on the boiler in the laundry room. There's also a rotary dryer out the back if the weather allows. The sitting room was comfortable for watching Wimbledon. If I could bring my own mattress, I don't think I would ever leave. Away from the cottage, the farm shop at Inigo Jones is a must for BBQ supplies, fruit and veg. They do a brilliant Welsh breakfast in the adjacent cafe. I've not been to such a friendly place in a long time. We went to Anglesey Transport Museum at Serena's recommendation and was a good day out for petrolheads young and old. Sygun Copper Mine was also a popular trip. Other highlights included trips to Betws-y-Coed, Great Orme, Llandudno promenade, Pwllheli, Beddgelert and Caernarfon. The coastal drive down to Porthmadog is also beautiful. Closer to home there are walks for the dog right from the farm cottage that take you down on to the Caernarfon-Bryncir cycle-path. We didn't want to leave and we've already booked for next year. The next time we'll be bringing the bikes though!

- Helen, June 2021
Helen June 2021

“We had a lovely family stay at Grafog Farm Cottage, it was quiet and relaxing and had everything we could think of for a wonderful holiday.”

It’s very conveniently located for Snowdon and surrounding attractions. The owners were always available if needed. The campsite is close however you wouldn’t even know it was there when your in the cottage as they have separated it with bushes and trees that totally surround the garden offering great privacy and a pretty view. It was my daughters 18th birthday on the day we arrived and she was welcomed to the cottage with a birthday cake and decorations making her day that much more special, a wonderful personal touch! We would not hesitate to visit again and very much recommend a stay to other holiday makers looking to visit the area.

- Helen, June 2021
Rachel September 2020

“Well positioned, well appointed farmhouse with a lovely garden to sit out in.”

Numerous castles, gardens, beaches and mountains all within an hour's drive. We were spoilt for choice of things to do. If you have allergies do note that one of the farm cats is very friendly and invites itself in. Would certainly recommend a stay here, especially as the owners are so pleasant and helpful.

- Rachel, September 2020
Paula August 2020

“Lovely spacious family cottage ,clean & comfortable.”

friendly owners,welcome pack on arrival wine, chocolates, Bura loaf,milk,butter and bread.plus as many free range eggs as you can eat.Felt like home from home, already planning to return next year.

- Paula, August 2020
Shelley August 2020

“Fabulous cottage of a considerable size which really suited our family gathering.”

The property retains all the period charm expected balanced alongside all of today’s modern conveniences. We loved the Rayburn, the chickens roaming and especially the eggs provided by the owners on your doorstep...a lovely touch. We unexpectedly had to take our dogs at the last hour as one required medication throughout the period and the owners were very accommodating. The property is centrally located and close to a variety of Holiday activities: beaches, walks, towns to explore and the obvious Yr Eryri (Snowdon). A great location which also boasts a doggy daycare centre close by so you can be dog free if required on the odd day ....if only to give them a rest while you continue to get out and about. Thank you Simon and Serena, you helped provide a really special holiday experience.

- Shelley, August 2020

s July 2020

“The cottage was amazing for so many reasons.”

Simon and Serena were so friendly and helpful. They gave us fresh eggs...logs for the fire. The place was extremely clean and spacious. The cottage was warm and water was constantly hot. The facilities and equipment was all new and there was so much provided for . All the added extras were so thoughtful. The cottage is in a great location to see all the beaches and mountains. The cottage is in a peaceful place and there is a beautiful wooded walk near the roundabout. Definitely visit again.

Brenda-dawn February 2020

“Good location, the property proved to be spacious, The large kitchen with a dining area was very good, very much on par with the traditional farm kitchen, which traditionally, was the hub of the farm.”

The four of us in the group spent much time sitting on the long bench seats that ran down the length of the equally long table. It was a pleasure to be able to sit around the table enjoying our meals and socialising, much in the same way as it would have been when it was a working farm. The lounge was roomy, with comfortable sofas. The wood stove was a little bit of a hassle. It was rather temperamental and somewhat difficult to manage. Despite operating the the air flow devices as per the instruction book, it was often a case of all or nothing. Upstairs the four bedrooms where all of a good size. They all had plenty of storage space, were clean and tidy with comfortable beds. The upstairs bathroom suite was modern, clean and tidy, complete with both a shower and and a very large bath were one could enjoy a long, leisurely soak. Overall, the group enjoyed their stay at the cottage.

- Brenda-dawn, February 2020
Harley February 2020

“We weathered not one, but two storms in this wonderful Welsh Farmhouse with warmth, wine and comfort.”

There was a lovely bara brith, a bottle of wine and half a dozen fresh eggs to greet us. The house was well appointed and comfortable. The living room waslarge enough for all us and a wonderful woodburning stove that kept us cozy throughout our stay, a great space for family fun. The kitchen has a great Rayburn stove and huge farmhouse kitchen table that was a brilliant space for all our meals. A cottage with real character, comfort and coziness!

- Harley, February 2020

Phil August 2019

“What a fabulous place!”

The cottage was clean and tidy when we arrived, even though we were allowed to drop freezer stuff and luggage off a couple of hours early. Simon and Serena are fantastic hosts, and made us feel very welcome with a starter pack of bread, milk, Welsh cakes, and wine! Nothing was too much trouble and when we had a plumbing emergency, Simon dealt with it in a very prompt manner. Would I go again? Definetley! Would I recommend it? Oh yes! Thank you very much for a fantastic holiday!

- Phil, August 2019
Debbie July 2019

“Grafog Farm is lovely and a fantastic base for visiting beautiful North Wales.”

We had everything we needed in the accommodation and were welcomed and looked after very well.

Michelle July 2019

“I have used sykes cottages for around three years due to the standard of their cottages are very high .”

This cottage was one of their new listings and again this cottage did not disappoint The cottage is set on farming land and is laid back far from the road which is ideal for people travelling with pets . The location of the cottage is situated in North Wales therefore it make accessing Snowdonia , Lanberis , and Neuadd Dwyfor a short driving distance . There is a walking and cycling track across from the cottage which allows to to track right into Caernarfon where you come out directly behind the castle . This track is used by many so is safe to do . The cottage owner lives on site so if there is any problems they are on hand to help . I would recommend this cottage to people travelling in a large group due to the space and size .

- Michelle, July 2019
Bruce July 2019

“Stunning property, in a beautiful area of Wales.”

We found a real hidden gem in nearby Llyn Nantlle lake (our children spent hours swimming and canoeing there). The cottage owners were perfect hosts. Next time we visit, we will bring our horse too :)

- Bruce, July 2019
Angela June 2019

“The cottage is wonderful.”

Very clean. Plenty of equipment. The owners were lovely and were on hand if we needed advice but we didn't really see them at all despite being on site. Would use this cottage as a base again as it has great pubs and takeaways close at hand and is near the beaches and the mountains (and the Zip wire)

- Angela, June 2019
Judith June 2019

“Excellent amenities, friendly and welcoming hosts would highly recommend this property.”

- Judith, June 2019
Karen June 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grafog farm cottage.”

The cottage is in a great location for exploring the Snowdonia region and it contained everything we needed for our weeks stay. The owners are lovely, friendly people and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay at this cottage, we absolutely loved it & didn’t want to leave!

- Karen, June 2019
Moira May 2019

“The cottage is clean, comfortable and very well equipped - with good storage spaces and plenty of room.”

Parking is excellent. The cottage is well situated being set back from the road but in a convenient location to explore the area. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. A good holiday. Thank you.

- Moira, May 2019
Senga May 2019

“Fantastic cottage.”

Couldn’t have asked for any more. Lots of little extras which were very welcome and owners were also lovely. Great location for coast or hills.

- Senga, May 2019
Rachel May 2019

“We had a lovely stay in May.”

The house is lovely and spacious, we were there as 6 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs and it never felt cramped at all. The living room was a lot nicer than it looked on the pictures and the kitchen and utility are well equipped, everywhere was very clean and the bathroom is nice and modern. This is a great base, there are lots of places to visit within a 30 minute drive. There is a small campsite at the bottom of the garden, this wasn't an issue for us, there were only a couple of people staying there and there was no noise disruption, the garden is large and the campsite is mainly obstructed by trees. The blinds in the bedrooms are very thin so if you're travelling with a young child it might be worth taking a travel blind. The owner was nice and helpful and left fresh eggs from the chickens, we would stay here again if we were visiting this part of Wales.

- Rachel, May 2019

“The house was so comfortable the owners were very helpful.”

Getting lovely fresh eggs was great! The location for north wales was superb. Highly recommended. The only thing was it allows dogs but the garden isn’t secure to let them off so was a bit of a nuisance first thing in the morning at night as had to take them on lead.

“Gorgeous cottage in ideal location.”

The cottage was so cosy and beautifully decorated. The farm setting was lovely. The kitchen in particular was really nice, the Aga was excellent for cooking on. Owners were very kind and generous - giving us lovely fresh eggs from the farm which were perfect for breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Thank you.
