The cottage has been beautifully restored and is in a perfect setting, with local amenities but feeling so calm and peaceful. It is very well equipped, and fixtures, fittings and bedding are all of great quality. We'll absolutely be staying again.

Spent a relaxing week at Ochr y Rhiw with our two dogs who loved the river and long walks every day. They were exhausted. Beautiful cottage well equipped with everything you need. I didn't even have to do washing when I got home. Good location if you're a plane spotter. 15mins from Mach loop. Torrent walk 15mins drive away. And Barmouth beachRead more is 30mins away and fish and chips from the Mermaid are the best. Hide

Absolutely perfect location for our family holiday with three grandchildren, busy days ended with playing in the stream. Those villagers that we met were extremely friendly and their Village Hall is now open for 5 per hour for snooker.sadly we were too busy dam building, but perhaps another year.

The first thing we noticed when we arrived was just how close the next door neighbour's property is and that they overlooked where we were staying. However this was never really an issue except on the day of our arrival (which was also the day of the Queen's funeral) when they were playing very loud music which was quite upsetting especially becausRead moree after a 7 hour drive to get there all we wanted was to enjoy a quiet drink next to the babbling stream. Another matter that surprised us was the steep drive down to the house. We were warned about this by the owner just prior to the holiday commencing so we elected to take our 4x4 SUV rather than our estate car. And I'm so glad we did because the estate car would easily have bottomed out and grounded for sure. However, none of these were a major issue and certainly never detracted nor spoiled our break in any way. in fact overall we had a really fabulous stay and loved everything about the cottage which is a credit to the owners. Thank you. Hide

Ease of booking. The cottage was absolutely wonderful, and just as described on the website and photos. Fully stocked with everything you need for your break away. Perfect location and lots of communication with the owners re. things to do locally and how to manage everything at the property - will definitely be booking again.
