“Superb. Very, very clean, comfortable, well equipped.”

Good Wi-Fi (no mobile signal like all the area), shower. Great bed, TV (FreeSat), sofa, cooker. Lots of really thoughtful touches that I've never had before. Friendly owners. Plenty of parking in a very quiet location. Beddgelert only max 5 mins drive away. I liked it a lot!

Eifion October 2024

“Thank you for creating such an amazing holiday cottage.”

The cottage was immaculate when we arrived with a few goodies and starters thrown in. We were most impressed that so many toiletries were provided. A fabulous location with wonderful views. The cottage really did have everything we needed and was wonderfully comfortable. A great base. We wish we could have stayed longer.

“This was the cleanest property we have been in.”

Incredibly well stocked with everything and so peaceful it is the first time we would return to a property.The owners are to be congratulated.

Christine September 2024

“We have booked many different cottages over the years, but Cwm Caeth surpassed them all for a cosy, comfortable cottage in wonderful scenic and peaceful surroundings.”

Our hosts went above and beyond in making us welcome. We could not recommend it more highly.

Judith September 2024

“We had a wonderfully peaceful holiday at Cwm Caeth Cottage.”

Extremely comfortable bed and lounge area. We were made really welcome by the hosts on arrival. This cottage has a lovely atmosphere. We were especially grateful for the thoughtful little extras provided. After a day's walking (it's a fabulous area for the walks and hikes), it was such a relaxing cottage to return to; the glorious views are a bonus. Highly recommended.

Darrern August 2024

“Lovely place lovely people very friendly and welcoming, All the things that were there on arrival were a nice touch (welcome pack)….”

Only downside for us could’ve been a bit bigger bed. But we have super king at home and I work nights haha

Martin August 2024

“A very cosy and clean cottage in a perfect location.”

The location is very quite and ideal for walking trips and even for trips to the beach on nice days. Very friendly and nice owners who were very helpful on demand. We would love to come back.

Peter July 2024

“Richard and Lucy are model hosts next door to this compact, comfortable cottage for two people.”

It's beautifully situated, quiet and very well equipped with everything necessary for a self-catering stay, and just lovely to find fresh milk in the fridge, bara brith and all the makings for tea! We are fortunate to come regularly, and have booked again for next year.

- Peter, July 2024
Mary July 2024

Cath July 2024

“Beautiful little cottage in a gorgeous area of North Wales.”

Peaceful and quiet, with dark skies. The owners live on site and are lovely people. Love the place and can't wait to go back.

- Cath, July 2024
James June 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cwm caeth.”

So clean and cosy with great views. It would help people to write down the final part of the directions as there was no phone signal as we arrived so struggled a bit to find the cottage. The signal was perfect inside the cottage. Also if the bin instructions were all written in black not green as we failed to see the green on blue background till it was too late for collection.

Clare May 2024

“So sad that my holiday was blighted by a knee problem but the cottage was delightful .”

Very beautiful views and surroundings and very well situated for the hills , owners such lovely and helpful people without being intrusive .Important things like bed, cooker , bath , TV, small fridge freezer , cooking utensils , pans all excellent and very clean .The only negatives are not having control of the heating ( although owners are very attentive to your needs) and my personal dislike of non functional ornaments / clutter .

- Clare, May 2024
John May 2024

Cath March 2024

“We spent 3 nights at Cwm Caeth as it was our first visit.”

We intend to return! It is a beautiful place and the cottage was exceptionally well appointed. If you like peace and quiet , but with access to many other p!aces, then Nantmor is the place for you.

- Cath, March 2024
Stephen March 2024

“Cwm Caeth cottage is a wonderful place to stay, I've never had any reason to complain about the cottage and this was my 4th stay here.”

The hosts are great and always welcoming and helpful. A great base to explore the local area.

- Stephen, March 2024
Jillian November 2023

“Wonderful location, lots of effort gone into making guests comfortable (coffee, tea, milk, welsh cakes, shampoo, shaving gel etc etc!”

) Dog next door barked quite a lot- it didn't bother us but may be an issue for some guests Instructions to find you could be clearer- we never saw a signpost to Bryniffynnon. Would be clearer to say signpost to Nantmor and then left just before the big chapel. Not a criticism, just helpful hopefully Lovely 3 nights with you, thank you

- Jillian, November 2023
Stephen October 2023

“I had a very enjoyable time at Cwm Caeth cottage.”

The cottage is wonderful, it's an ideal place to stay. Clean, comfortable and peaceful location. Would recommend and gladly stay a third time.

- Stephen, October 2023
Wizz August 2023

“Bigger than it looks in the photos.”

Kitchen very well equipt with modern appliances and utensils. Hot tap in the bathroom sink twists the wrong way to normal - No problem, just takes a moment to get head around it. Generally exceptionally clean, but could do with a high level dusting and spider eviction. Beautiful location, very comfortable. We will definitely go back.

- Wizz, August 2023
Jill July 2023

“Beautiful cottage, which was clean and well equipped, super fluffy towels and comfortable bed, we loved the remoteness of the setting.”

Friendly owners without being intrusive. Thank you for the wee welcome gifts especially the Welsh cakes mmm and allowing us to pick some apples. Pasta bowls would be useful and a dust pan and brush so I could sweep up my cooking crumbs. Seems strange making comment on the quality and sharpness of the knives but when self catering this is very important (I brought my own knives but they did not get used at all this holiday :)) Loved all of the "nic nac" ornaments - me to a T. North Wales is a beautiful part of the country and we relived childhood memories - highlights were climbing Yr Wyddfa up and down in 6 hours and the train journey to Caernarvon. A BIG thank you from this Northumberland Couple.

- Jill, July 2023
Peter July 2023

“This is a gem of a holiiday cottage for 2.”

Richard, Lucy and Scarlett are so welcoming in an unobtrusive way. The fresh milk, tea and Welshcakes waiting for us were typical of their thoughtfulness and care. We had everything we needed,a dn have already booked for next year! Thanks.

- Peter, July 2023
Susan July 2023

“The perfect cottage to explore the snowdonia area.”

Very comfortable and spacious with little extras to make it home from home. Beautiful setting , absolutely perfick.

- Susan, July 2023
Veronica July 2023

“A lovely little cottage in a delightful location.”

The property was well-appointed, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. There was everything there that you could possibly need, with lots of extra little touches that all combined to make our stay very good indeed. The friendly owners are close by and on hand if needed, but are otherwise very discreet. We would definitely recommend a stay here. Excellent experience. Veronica and Richard (1st to 15th July 2023)

- Veronica, July 2023
Edward June 2023

Geraldeen May 2023

“We had a fabulous week at Cwm Caeth Cottage, which is situated in a beautiful and tranquil setting.”

It's also ideally placed for visiting numerous sites of interest in North Wales and, of course, there are many lovely walks nearby. Richard, Lucy & Gay are excellent hosts and we would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

- Geraldeen, May 2023
Angela April 2023

“Amazingly tranquil setting.”

Superb quality and comfort. Obviously a huge effort had been made by the delightful owners. Highly recommended for the views and the feeling of remoteness but within a short drive of all facilities and stunning locations to visit. I am sure that we will revisit in the future. Thank you.

- Angela, April 2023
Joanna March 2023

“I had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage, in such a gorgeous setting.”

The cottage had everything I needed and its location is handy for so many nearby places. The owners were very friendly and helpful and gave me a warm welcome. I would definitely reccomend this listing as a great place to stay. I will be coming back - hopefully with better weather this time!

- Joanna, March 2023
Richard September 2022

“This is a well furnished and comfortable cottage.”

As a base to explore the area the experience was enhanced by having such a warm lovely place to return to and relax. It was certainly a huge part of the holiday. We would certainly recommend it to our friends and family.

- Richard, September 2022
Lesley September 2022

“Wonderful week.”

Cottage cosy, very clean and had everything we needed. Owners very helpful, and even turned the heating on when it began to rain and get a bit chilly. Lovely little garden to sit in, read and have tea and scones! Will certainly be back. Thanks to Richard,Lucy,Gay and Scarlet.

- Lesley, September 2022
Robert Glyn September 2022

Brian August 2022

“A wonderful welcome to a wonderful cottage.”

Spotlessly clean in a very scenic views of the mountains. Full of querkey nic nacs and bits and bobs. Full supply of tea sugar and coffee, milk and other treats. Lucy and Richard very helpful but not in your face. Ideal for walkers and touring North Wales with bedleggert five minutes in the car and Porthmadog fifteen minutes. All in all a brilliant stay and will be going back.

“Cwm Caeth is in a lovely location, well equipped, friendly, welcoming owners, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

- Patricia Caroline, August 2022
M August 2022

“This is a beautiful cottage, with everything of the highest standard, reflecting the way of life of the owners.”

We had long conversations with them and care a lot about the same things. Both the welcome and farewell are treasures. The outlook and views are gorgeous. It would have been better for us to have been able to have a sofa bed in the lounge as a fallback. The directions to the cottage are badly in need of revision! The turning off the A4085, is marked by a 'BUS STOP SIGN and a dirty sign that reads Nantmor'. (There is no sign for the name of the road, and your directions are wrong at this point.) It should then say: 'Climb up steeply, over the Railtrack and uphill through Nantmor village till you see the Chapel on your left. Turn left in front of the Chapel and past the telephone box and keep going uphill till you reach a gate with Cwm Caith Farm on it. Open the gate to drive through and close it. Drive on and you will then see the farmhouse.' The only other point I would make about your services is this. We had decided to come to the area one night sooner and it so happened that Cwm Caith was available that one night extra. After phoning yourselves, I was told it would cost a staggering 140 pounds extra. So of course, I looked around and got fixed up for half that amount in Porthmadog.This huge sum was due I believe to extra insurance and admin., not a higher daily rent rate for the owners. This incident is the mainyy reason I have rated you at only 5.

“Simply WOW !”

A perfectly peaceful cottage, set in amongst beautiful scenery. Every relaxing holidaying need catered for. Some lovely walks close by, especially the river walk to the picturesque village of Beddgelert. We would definately go again

“A beautiful cottage just perfect for 2!”

A fabulous and friendly welcome and a great base to explore the walks and towns around. A peaceful place to unwind and recharge! Thank you.

- Natasha, July 2022
Peter July 2022

“Clean, neat, extremely well-provided.”

Everything that two people could need in a compact space convenient for lovely hills. NB this is compact - for two people!

- Peter, July 2022
Bryan July 2022

“This is a very special place and we agree with the constant 5* reviews that confirm this!”

The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and happy to help with any questions (they live opposite). The situation is just breathtaking and you have your own little garden and table and chairs with an unspoilt view of the mountains. It is so quiet and peaceful with just the noise of the birds and sheep (or rain if you are unlucky - although we had perfect weather for 95% of the time). The cottage is quite small but perfect for two people and is tastefully decorated with a functional kitchen. Unlike many properties, so much is provided and the welcome pack is amazing (certainly no need to go shopping for a day). Another nice touch was the provision of "emergency" toiletries. Very highly recommended - you will not be disappointed!. P.S. Our SatNav found it first time with the Postcode!

Malcolm July 2022

“Beautiful area, very welcoming couple, every thing you need for a relaxing holiday.”

Breath taking scenery all around.

- Malcolm, July 2022
Brian June 2022

“Lovely warm welcome, spotlessly clean throughout.”

If you forget anything, don't worry, little extras all over, tea coffee sugar, small deodorant, toothpaste and more. Very scenic setting with mountains all around. Couple of miles from beddgelert with a shop with most requirements, few pubs restaurants etc. Walks from the cottage itself. Really comfy bed ,wardrobe space. Comfy room diner with very good utensils. Lisa and Richard on hand if needed and all in all a top cottage with the snowdonia national park on your doorstep.

- Brian, June 2022
Michael June 2022

“Enough for our needs for our holiday.”

Small but O.K. Settee uncomfortable.

- Michael, June 2022
Arnold June 2022

“The Cottage was very well prepared with a selection of Tea/Coffee, milk welsh cakes and biscuits.”

All Instructions were very clear and the cottage was clean and nicely decorated and there was a selection of leaflets on places to visit. There was also a small garden area with table and chairs for sitting outside. The fact that the owners lived on the opposite side of the farm track meant that if there had been any problems (which there wasn't) they would have been easily contactable . The owners were also very friendly and helpful with advice on places to visit and the best places to eat out in the area.

Linda April 2022

“Well! What could be more perfect for a quiet, comfortable break than Cwm-Caeth cottage?”

Nothing we think. Beautiful location, stunning views, spaciuos yet cosy, comfortable and really well appointed beyond being adequate. Every need provided for, plus lots of tasteful little ornamental extras to compliment the homely decor. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, including old Charlie the dog, altogether a perfect holiday experience. We'll be back.

- Linda, April 2022
Susan April 2022

“The perfect holiday retreat, no Internet, so complete peace.”

An extremely well presented cottage, a bit awkward to find as sat nav doesn't recognise farm. Your directions need to be better. We will definitely go again.

- Susan, April 2022

Thank you so much for your comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We actually do have internet and it is in the information booklet for the password so sorry you didn't see this, we will put up a sign so easier to find, we will contact Sykes for a review on the directions, Thanks for your comments and look forward to seeing you in the future ;-) Property Owner

“Lovely cosy cottage in a stunning location.”

Hosts were very welcoming and provided lots of little extras. It was very clean and comfortable and felt like a home from home. Beautiful walks to Beddgelert ( about an hr). The steam train goes from Nantmor , although wasn’t running when we stayed there. Location is very central to visit most of Snowdonia within an hour driving. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

About the location

BEDDGELERT

Porthmadog 7.7 miles; Caernarfon 12.8 miles.

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A 20 minute stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’ most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon. Beddgelert is famed for its monument to the Welsh Prince Llewelyn's dog, whom the Prince killed thinking it had attacked and killed his son, only to discover afterwards it had been defending his son from a savage wolf attack. With Porthmadog, Portmeirion, Borth y Gest and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula easily reached, this is an ideal location for a Welsh holiday.

Please note: This property accepts a minimum of 7 night stays.
