“Fantastic property in a stunning setting with mountain and lake views.”

The cottage was really comfortable and homely. The owner Lis was really helpful and friendly. We can't wait to stay again.

“This cottage is a real gem and a credit to Lis who was the perfect host.”

Furnished with everything you could possibly need and with such a homely feel what more could you want. In the heart of Snowdonia National Park wonderful scenery wraps itself around you in an embrace of everchanging beauty. The quiet of the surroundings is wonderful but, you are also in touching distance if you do want more with all the beautiful seaside resorts to be had in the region. There is only one downstairs bathroom but this was a small price to pay. We found it had the right mix of authenticity and comfort that made for a lovely break.

“A very nice and comfortable cottage in an ideal location for exploring Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Lynn peninsula.”

It was very well equipped and had everything we needed and more. Wi-fi was fast and reliable and everywhere had been cleaned to a high standard. The views from the back of the property were amazing. We were warmly welcomed by Lis and much enjoyed the Welsh cakes and bara brith, very tasty. We have already booked a return visit next year

“We have had a wonderful time in your lovely home and have fallen in love with the views and the area.”

The house was so clean, warm, cosy and comfortable. Thank you so much for your warm welcome and delicious welsh cakes and bara brith. We are very sad to be leaving

Maura October 2023

“The accommodation was perfect for our needs.”

It is a small three bedroom property with amazing views and a wonderful property manager (Miss Roberts) right next door. Miss Roberts went out of her way to recommend places to visit and restaurants to try and was a true joy to meet. I would highly recommend staying at this property if looking for a rural setting not too far from a host of sights to see.

“Just finishing our first holiday at Perthi and we’re very sad to be leaving.”

Already booked a week for next Summer! Lis is a fantastic hostess and has really looked after us this week. A great Welsh welcome to start our break with home baked Bara Brith, Welsh cakes fresh out of the oven. Absolutely delicious, best we have tasted! Plus all we needed to make a lovely cup of tea to go with it! Lis is a great source of local knowledge which proved very useful from places to go out for the day as well as local walks.  The cottage itself is clean, very comfortable and well maintained. Lis puts a lot of hard work in to taking care of the place and it shows. Great attention to detail even down to asking the ages of our children and providing age/gender appropriate bed linen which they all loved. There are books and dvds for all ages as well as a selection of games for those rainy days. Wi-Fi was great with no issues. Kitchen well stocked for families.   Location is good for travelling round North Wales and Anglesey. Local beach Dinas is lovely for the family, convenient parking and facilities. Local town Penygroes is just down the road for local supermarket, takeaways etc.   Altogether if you’re looking for somewhere cosy, comfortable with the most breathtaking scenery you couldn’t make a better choice than Perthi. Diolch Lis, in the words of Arni “We will be back!” Xx♥️

Dirk July 2023

“This was such a lovely little house to stay in.”

Granted, with a family of five it might be considered a bit on the small side, but with a bit of furniture rearranging we managed just fine. The kitchen is superb, fully equipped, the views are amazing and the location is literally a stone's throw from the amazing Snowdonia area. But the real selling point of this house is its owner. We had such a warm welcome with a traditional home baked Welsh cake and a tin full of freshly baked cupcakes. Furthermore, she is helpful and eager to share her knowledge of the area. In short, this house is a perfect homebase to explore the amazing North Wales countryside.

“This cottage is a must visit if you love mountain scenery and looking for an authentic Welsh experience.”

It is next to a beautiful lake and is so quiet you can hear constant nature sounds. The cottage is clean, cared for and retains lots original features, I had everything I needed.I could park my car right outside the front door. Liz puts in a lot of effort to make your stay enjoyable and is a lovely lady she even left me cake on arrival. Michael. Sheffield.

Tineke April 2023

“For a week in Spring we stayed with three adults at this very beautiful cottage.”

Every day we overlooked the lake and mountains from the kitchen window and had a different spectacle, depending on the weather, varying from very crisp, golden and blue to dramatically windy and dark, all good. We felt cosy and at home from home, very much part of the Welsh experience, authentic because of how Lis presents the cottage and garden and the slate miners history. She had baked bara brith and welsh cakes for us plus left us milk and tea as a welcome! Also during the week the contact was pleasant and helpful, she gave us lots of lovely ideas where to go and what to see. We made mountain walks, visited the beach at Dinas Dinlle and had a great time in Caernarfon, Beddgelert, Rhosgadfan and Porthmadog, fantastic drives through the wild mountains, in the evenings the beauty of the village itself. We are interested in history and nature and did not have enough time to do and visit everything. There are also all kinds of crafts workshops to attend in the area. For the more practical things like a good supermarket or take away places the village Penygroes is nearby. The house itself is spacious and furnished as a proper home, very comfortable. The garden is fantastic. All in all restful and adventurous with a touch of magic. A great holiday, diolch (I had to put in one word of Welsh at least).

- Tineke, April 2023
Alexander April 2023

“Lis (The Host) was fantastic, an incredibly warm welcome with a boiled Kettle and Home cooked food to welcome us into the cottage.”

A really homely feel and a helping hand next door if you ever had any issues. The cottage had so much character and had everything you needed for a stay longer than ours. Everything was clean and maintained to a high standard, and I can say I will be back!

- Alexander, April 2023
Jane April 2023

“Lovely cottage, great welcome from Liz (home made baked good & kettle warmed) Fully kitted out for our self catering stay, want for nothing.”

What a fantastic & beautiful location, with hills & mountains to the west & coastline to the east - short drive to access all, our week's weather was not kind so didn't get to do local walks, so many lambs at Easter time, cute! After our days out head home for a comfortable & cosy relaxing evening. We filled our week with - SUPS at Llyn Gwynant, National Slate Museum & High Ropes at Padarn Country Park, Drive to Nant Gwrtheyrn - stunning location & walk, with a lovely cafe, flapjack was amazing, visit to Caernarfon, Conwy castle and Fish & Chips in Llandudno, trip on the Ffestiniog railway - Portmadog to Beddgelert, finishing week off with Deep Mine Tour & Underground Golf at Penrhyn Quarries, Bethesda before heading home - well worth a visit - as a Unesco World Heritage Area, filled with history of the slate mining industry - lots to explore & see

“Perthi was warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

We really enjoyed our stay. We were made very welcome and thank you, Lis for the excellent Bara Brith, Welsh cakes and loan of books. The views from the house are stunning and the location gives quick access to the mountains and coast. We shall definitely be returning next year.

“Thank you, Lis, for a wonderful stay.”

I really don't want to leave so soon! We have had a wonderful time - relaxing and interesting. Love the location, both the house and within reach of so many beautiful places too. Thank you especially for the many extra touches that you have put in to make it a home from home.

Janine April 2022

“We had a lovely stay for our first visit to Wales.”

Lis made us feel very welcome with added touches of treats for us and our daughters. The cottage was clean and comfortable and a good base for us to meet our friends in Beddgelert. My daughters enjoyed seeing the chickens and sheep at the bottom of the garden. Wished we could of stayed longer as so much to see and do. We would really like to return to the cottage in the future. Janine and family

Janet October 2021

“Perthi is a cosy terraced cottage with everything myself and friend needed for a stay in Snowdonia.”

The location of Nantlle is good for both the coastal resorts of Lleyn peninsular and the Snowdon range, so long as you have a car. It is a lovely quiet village with local walks and views but only a short drive from Pen y groes for provisions etc. The cottage is comfortable, with good beds, comfy lounge and a small kitchen with everything needed for self-catering. The small shower-room with toilet is downstairs, but that was fine for us. Lis the owner was very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely come again.

- Janet, October 2021
Mandy September 2021

“Perfect cottage in a perfect location kitted out with everything you could possibly need.”

Great walks straight from the front door. Lovely owners made us very welcome and nothing too much trouble. Definitely would like to to return.

Marcin September 2021

“Great place to use as a base to travel around Wales.”

Home is well equipped in a very quiet area with a great view to mountains and a lake. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in there.

- Marcin, September 2021
Alison August 2021

“This was a lovely little cottage, and we chose it for its location, easy access to Snowdonia, Llyn, the coast, Anglesey, and the wonderful views, walks and swims from the cottage.”

What we did find, is that for 4 adults (parents + 2 grown up children), we needed more space (we couldn’t eat together for example, without rearranging furniture), so it was a bit small for us. For a couple, or 3 people though, it’s big enough and ideally located. Owner was extremely welcoming and helpful.

- Alison, August 2021
Claire July 2021

“Absolutely gorgeous setting in a charming and cosy cottage.”

So peaceful, mountain views, lovely lake for swimming (entrance a 5 minute walk from cottage) and a central location for visiting all the attractions on our ‘Snowdonia list’.

Wales is such a beautiful Country, what ever the weather. We were greeted with a home made Welsh Bara Brith cake, which is my new favourite food, supplied on by our warm and friendly host. thank you very much

“The cottage was comfortable, welcoming and very well equipped.”

We slept well in the comfortable bed and it was very quiet. The landlady was extremely friendly and ready to help and give advice about the area. The location was superb: very close to a beautiful lake with views over the hills and farmland. Very close to Snowdonia National Park and a short drive to Anglesea and the Llyn Peninsula. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

“Our stay was fantastic.”

Our host was friendly and helpful. The home was lovely and comfortable. The surrounding area was stunning and it is situated perfectly within Snowdonia, we cannot wait to return!

Benjamin August 2019

“We received a wonderful welcome from the owner Lis and her husband, which included home made cake and biscuits on arrival.”

The house was exceptionally clean, the cleanest holiday cottage we have ever stayed in! The kitchen was really well equipped, it lacked nothing that we needed. Our children enjoyed the good selection of books on the landing. The location of Nantlle is amazing, very quiet and peaceful and in one of the most beautiful valleys in Snowdonia and there was a lake close by which the children enjoyed swimming in. There are lots of places to visit and things to do in the area, we particularly enjoyed the Steam Railways and the Slate Museum. We forgot something small and Lis very kindly posted it to us. We would definitely recommend this cottage!

- Benjamin, August 2019
Evangelie July 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy traditional cottage.”

Lis welcomed us warmly with tea and bara brith and we felt very at home in this well equipped house. Beautiful scenery and a great location on the edge of the mountains but not far from the coast. Thank you for a great stay!

- Evangelie, July 2019
Fiona Dagenais Aug 2018

“Lis's cottage is so well equipped, she really has thought of everything, and was spotless.”

We ate out in the evening sunshine in the lovely little garden most evenings. Plenty of space to sleep 5 upstairs. The peace and quiet was amazing and the view from the back of the house to die for. Having Lis next door was a huge bonus - from her friendly chat, help with where to go, fresh eggs from her hens and a play with Thomas, the cat.

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Lis was waiting when we arrived with home made bara brith and flapjacks. It had everything we needed and was a great location. Nice quiet village but only about just over 30 mins max drive from Caernarfon castle, Llanberis for Snowden, Porthmadog and Bounce Below.

“Lovely, cosy, character property in beautiful tranquil location within reach of numerous tourist attractions/destinations.”

Owners of property who live next door are very welcoming and helpful and allowed us to access their wifi for which we were very grateful.The property is well equipped and I believe it to be a bargain at the price. We had a lovely five days in early June 2016,the weather was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
