Snowdonia quarryman's cottage.

Welcome to my gorgeous one bed miner's cottage. Set in the heart of Snowdonia it has views across Angelsey and the Irish Sea. The inside is deceptively spacious, and is ideal for a couple or small family who want to get away from it all. Recently rebuilt 8 years ago to a high standard this cottage features all mod cons, double glazing, full central heating, and unlike most stone Welsh cottages in the area it's warm, light, and dry! The lounge and kitchen are open plan, with a raised ceiling into the roofline. The main feature of the lounge is the original stone fireplace that defines that cottage feel. A fully equipped kitchen with double electric oven, hob,fridge and Microwave. The bedroom and bathroom are entered from an adjoining doorway. The bedroom has a double bed, a wardrobe and cupboards for your use. The bathroom has a shower/bath combination. The front of the house overlooks miles of open countryside and villages, all the way across to Hollyhead on Angelsey some 25 miles away. The Irish Sea can be seen from the bench seat in the front garden. ` To the rear of the property is a small shed where guests can store their bikes and on the flat roof there is a large decked area for enjoying the sunshine. Easy road side parking to the front of the property, a key will be inside a keysafe near the front door. I often work away so it would be unusual to see me, but my friendly neighbours will be able to help with any enquires. I am often in the area at weekends. Fell free to contact me at any time with any questions, and I'll be more than happy to help. Being set in Snowdonia it has so much to offer the visitor. The house itself is set high on a hill side. Simply standing outside gives you amazing views, the sun sets in front of the house in the summer months so it's not unusual to see all the neighbours sat outside in the evening, with a bbq and a drink. Walking out of the front door brings you immediately into the mountains. You are spoilt for choice for things to do, walking, climbing, mountain biking, fishing, photography, great places to eat, the list goes on and on. Nearby attractions are the Dinorwic Slate Quarries, these were at one time one of the largest quarries in the world, these are just a mile away, great for walking, biking and exploration. The nearby village of Llanberis is a mecca for walkers and climbers alike, with easy access to Snowdon and it's Mountain Railway, and also from there into the famous Lllanberis Pass and Ogwen Valleys. Zip World, is a few minutes drive away, this is the longest zip wire in the Northern Hemisphere and is over a mile long. Then there is Angelsey, with it's stunning scenery and attractions there is plenty for everyone, it's beaches are exceptional. Easy access by car to all areas, walking and cycling is a pleasure from here too. Buses run from outside the house to Bangor and Caernarfon, but having a car would make for an easier trip. A the cottage is in Snowdonia, the mountains are in close proximity to the sea so the weather here has it's own micro climate. Always be prepared for every weather and you'll be fine.

We stayed in John's place for 3 nights. We could not see each other face to face. But everything was well-prepared. The house was really clean and warm. We did not have a car in our vacation, it is a better idea to have. However, the bus station is 15 minutes walk and you can find bus to every routes like Bangor,Caernafon, Llanberis or etc. But number of bus service is not so often. So, I strongly recommend that, to check of bus times from the station. If you make this, you won't face with any problem. I can say for John, he was always helpful, always answered my phone when I called him. It was a pleasure to stay in his place. Thanks John..

Had an absolutely brilliant time at the cottage. John provided us with a wealth of information before we arrived and very kindly let us use his many climbing and scrambling guides during our stay. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and stress free break. Great location - only 5 minute drive from Llanberis.

Laura2015-02-12T00:00:00Z

The cottage was perfectly located for everything we wanted to do. It was a lovely place to come back and relax in, with fantastic views! We enjoyed looking at the maps on the walls plotting our days!

Rhiannon2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Great for price. Good size cottage for couples and lovely views across the valley. Lovely two days spent exploring area - we'd recommend Newborough beach!(John's suggestion). Some of furniture is dated but functional. Overall good stay. Thanks.

Emily2017-01-27T00:00:00Z

Perfect and wonderful space! The location of the cottage couldn't be better: mountains and sea are just a couple of minutes away (by car). The cottage itself is very cosy and tastefully designed - especially the two windows in the roof and the many different lights in the ceiling create a warm and bright atmosphere. The area is amazing and you could take weeks to stay there and discover it new day by day!

Felix2015-08-13T00:00:00Z

Brilliant cottage in a beautiful setting - it had everything we needed and was clean and cosy, with a v comfy bed! It was perfect as a base for walks around Snowdonia, and very close to Anglesey too. John sent us an email with clear instructions on how to find the cottage, and with helpful suggestions for things to see and do. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Christina2015-08-28T00:00:00Z

The cottage is very cozy and well equipped, we were very comfortable there. It's in a good location but the car/bike is a must if you want to explore the area. Snowdonia is beautiful and we will definetly come back in summer. Thank you for a great stay!

Aleksandra2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

The cottage was perfect, great local info provided by John, great local walks and amazing views all around. The cottage was very homely, loved the books which handily matched my interests - photography, food, Montains...would recommend to anyone and will hopefully return someday!

The cabin is located in stunning scenery, nestled midway between Carningli Mountain, Ty-Canol ancient oak woodland & the foothills of the Preselis & only 3 miles from the sea. With an outdoor hot tub, it's easy to kick back and relax.

Our fully insulated wooden cabin is just a couple of miles from Newport, Pembrokeshire. The cabin perches on the top of one of a series of 3 nearby mounds (the origin of which is still unclear, but you can see the other two from the garden) and over looks stunning scenery. The building is sunny, warm, light and airy, with a woodburning stove for when the weather is cooler. The water is heated by solar panels and a log boiler down in the main house. The newly installed hotub and garden has views stretching for miles and you can sit back and enjoy incredible sunsets behind carningli mountain. Guests and friends often tell us that they have not slept and relaxed so well for a long time. Maybe it's because there are very few places left in Britain where you cannot hear the hum of a busy road or the sound of vehicles every few minutes. Here at the cosy Cabin, the small lanes are extremely quiet and you are completely surrounded by nature. All around you are hills, mountains, wooded valleys, streams and great mature oaks, ash and sycamore. Execpt for the neighbouring farm buildings, you could easily believe that you are tens if not hundreds of miles from civilisation, yet just over the side of Carningli (the rocky mountain you can see from the garden) and only 3 miles away is the small bustling town of Newport. Newport is a tiny town that has an incredible variety of attractions including farmers market (on Mondays), award winning cafes, pubs and restaurants, local shops and art gallery and of course the sea with a beautiful sandy beach, cliff walks and sanddunes. Before going into more detail I need to be clear on the location and type of property this is. The cabin has a compost loo which is a dry system that works without a flush, where the waste is converted into fertile soil for the apple trees. The loo does not smell bad in case you were wondering, but is not the same as a flush toilet. Access to the cabin involves some steep steps and an uneven path with some leaves and loose small stones. It is not a modern set-up with a tarmac driveway with all the latest mod-cons (unless you're talking super comfortable beds, cooking, showering and hotub!) The best thing to do before booking is read through a number of reviews as well as much of the description as possible to get a feel for the place to make sure it's right for you. The cabin is open plan with a large curtain to separate the downstairs bedroom. There is a double bed downstairs and a double mattress upstairs, and a travel cot if needed. We only make up the downstairs bed when there is one person or a couple staying, but if you'd prefer to sleep upstairs, just let us know before your stay. There is a fantastic shower and a compost toilet. The garden has chairs and there is a veranda for undercover outside dining. The outdoor electric hot tub is partly powered by the solar panels in the garden (as is the whole cabin), and it is hot and ready to use all the time. While we do provide a set of towels (one bath towel and one hand towel per guest), it might be an idea to bring an extra towel for the hot tub, and maybe a dressing gown. Some slip on shoes would also be useful for going between the cabin and the hot tub. As we are out in the sticks, mobile service is intermittent, but most networks can get signal somewhere, even if it means a short walk into the field or up the road. There is no landline or internet in the cabin. If you really do need to go online (for work for example) then you could use the wifi in the house, but please check before booking. We have been toying with the idea of getting the cabin connected, however, every single guest (even those that were expecting wifi) have told us at the end of their stay they were so happy not be distracted by their mobile phones, email etc. And that their experience was so much richer for it that we should definitely not introduce it... being cut off from social media addiction for even just a few days is incredibly relaxing and refreshing and is so rare these days. It is easy to forget how good for the mind and getting rid of stress the experience of spending quality time together, reading, playing games, talking and being able to completely relax is. So if you are worried about off screen for a few days, don't be as it really does make for a fantastic experience. Many of pubs etc in newport do have free wifi if you do need to get online. The cabin is self catering, and the kitchen is fully equipped, with a fridge, kettle, toaster and a new induction cooker and Samsung oven which are super efficient and a pleasure to use (when its not rented we go up and use the oven as it is far better then ours!). Some basics are provided, like salt, pepper, some herbs and spices and cooking oil. There will be complimentary tea and coffee (ground, for the caffetiere). There is no washing machine, but I would be happy to do a wash for you at a cost of £2.50 a load. There is no dryer, but there is a drying line outside the cabin, and a launderette in Newport. Bedding and bathroom towels are provided. An organic veg and fruit box can be pre-ordered for delivery if you are here on a Monday. There are local yoga sessions (1 mile away), as well as a host of other types of other activities close at hand. Please ask for details.ì

North Pembrokeshire is much quieter than the south and has a unique combination of rocky outcrops, stunning beaches and coastal path, wooded valleys and enclaves, friendly neighbours and a night sky with hardly any light pollution, resulting in a fantastic the view of the stars. The more well-known stunning beaches of Newport, Poppit and Whitesands are interspersed with little gems that are much quieter and actually often much more beautiful such as Cwm Yr Eglwys only a few miles away. The neighbourhood is a mix of traditional welsh farmers, smallholdings and people that have chosen a sustainable path and live off the land (this includes communities such as Lamas and Brithdier as well as groups of families that share giant vegetable growing plots and a cow where each household takes a turn at milking!), stone farmhouses and cottages interspersed with hobbit style dwellings and homes made from natural materials. The Gwaun Valley that starts at our property is a sight in itself. Its vast densely wooded sides leads down to a welsh community that has culturally changed very little for centuries. They still celebrate their own new year, have a primary school still running strong with only 27 pupils in total and have a pub that is old as they come and only serve beer from jugs. There are plenty of beautiful sights and places of interest within walking distance along beautiful winding quiet backroads. The large organically farmed field next door with the large oak tree atop an ancient mound is ours and provides a stunning short walk or sports/activity ground (we have football nets to borrow), depending on the livestock! Ty canol woods (less than 1 mile away) is home to an ancient stunted oak woodland, rocky outcrops and carpeted in mosses and lichens, it is like walking into a fairytale book. The woods lead on to the larger rocky outcrops of Carnau meibion Owen which looks out to the preseli hills and also the ancient burial chamber of Pentre Ifan. The heather strewn slopes of Carningli mountain (less than 1 mile away) are well worth a climb, the views from on top are spectacular. Newport has a stunning large sandy beach with dunes and is great for swimming. The town of Newport has become famous for its array of great cafes, restaurants and shops including a wholefood shop, butchers, hardware store, fishmongers (specialising in locally caught fish), pharmacy, newsagents, craft collective, antique centre, Spar and a local produce market on a Monday morning. Our closest neighbours (300 yards ish), Simon and Kerry at Tyriet farm have opened a micro brewery (Bluestone brewing co.), and you can drop in and pick up a bottle or three of their finest ales.

We loved our stay in Wales. Maya's home was quiet, peaceful and comfortable. It is an absolutely stunningly beautiful location...the scenery dreams are made of. My wife, daughter and I were able to explore the southern Welsh coast from here. My only regret is that we couldn't stay more than three days. We could have easily spent a week We had everything we needed including the wood fired hot tub.

Darin2015-08-18T00:00:00Z

We had a super time at this lovely cabin, myself and my two boys (8 and 5) having a four day trip at the beginning of the summer hols. Pleasantly private up and around Maya and Robin's house with a great private garden with a gate leading out into a beautiful field. It is a very nicely put together cabin with a good kitchen which makes self catering easy. Everything is pretty much described in the listing. The composting loo is an experience in itself! The brewery is well worth a visit - fantastic beer in bottles as well as on tap. The area is lovely and very pretty - highlights: Climbing Mynydd Carningli, swimming on Cym-Yr-Eglwys beach, walking in woods at Ty Canol, walking the Gorge path at the nature reserve at Cilgerran. Lowlights: a day of "welsh" weather, Cardigan castle is expensive and dull. Highly recommended.

Chris2015-07-30T00:00:00Z

This is an enchanting place, perfect. Loved everything about it. It has a very special and unique atmosphere...filled with loveliness and mindfulness. Felt very peaceful there, like coming home to oneself. No wifi was big bonus...great to be away from all the hubbub. The whole space is filled with beauty. Being just a couple of miles away from the amazing coastal path is fab. Surely this is one of the best spots in the world. Hot tub and glorious wood burner meant rainy days had their own delights. Big thank you to Maya and lovely family for sharing this beautiful place. Didn't want to leave.

Georgeanne2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay in Robin and Maya's cabin. We arrived on a wet and windy October afternoon but the place was warm and cosy and we were made to feel very welcome. Robin and Maya were friendly and helpful hosts and gave us lots of information about places we could explore. The cabin was very clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, and we were really impressed by the induction cooker. The local area is very pretty and a good place for walks. We're hoping to go again with more time to explore further.

Phillip2014-11-02T00:00:00Z

Staying here was a highlight of our wonderful trip! Robin and Maya have created a comfortable and "cool" cabin and we enjoyed staying here very much, for many reasons. Robin and Maya were excellent hosts, friendly and fun and attentive, providing great advice about the area. They are a charming and lovely young family. The shower is fantastic - the best water pressure! They provide comfortable large towels and hand towels, comfortable beds and bedding, a fireplace/stove that warms the entire space with a glowing radiant heat, appealing architecture and decor, a kettle and press in the equipped kitchen for making great coffee to have on one of two beautiful outdoor patio spaces....and the setting! Rolling green pastures, a rushing brook nearby, and a mountain to hike on the way to the charming town of Newport, about 3 miles away. Plus, there is a brewery - Bluestone Brewing - 3 minutes away. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Suanne2015-03-22T00:00:00Z

The cabin is set in the middle of fairy tale countryside and a short drive from Newport. On a nice sunny day we couldn't wish for more, on a rainy windy day there is a fantastic micro brewery next door! Great for travellers who are looking for a close contact with nature!

Gorazd2015-05-14T00:00:00Z

Lovely place, friendly hosts. My children had an amazing time playing in the gardens and on the rope swing, trampoline! Would defiantly go back.

Dominic 2014-08-16T00:00:00Z

Had an amazing stay at this little cabin! Place was perfect and cosy (though still would be big enough for 4) and the hot tub is an absolute gem, in a really scenic and quiet location and not far from a town with all you need. Will definitely be back again!

A magical place in a beautiful area of Wales with a great host. Loved all the quirky features. The valley and river setting was incredible. Can't wait to go back!

Aceel & Stewart2015-05-28T00:00:00Z

We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived and throughout our stay. It was an idyllic setting and perfect for outdoor minded people. We fell in love with the cabins from the photos on the website and they lived up to out expectations. Thank you Stuart, we look forward to visiting you again and exploring more of your beautiful surroundings and trying out the sauna next time. Many thanks.

WENDY2014-09-28T00:00:00Z

What an absolute gem snuggled in to the Welsh valleys. We absolutely loved our trip and Stuart was a wonderful host.

Leona2014-10-31T00:00:00Z

Stuart was the perfect host, very helpful but unobtrusive. The site is beautiful and well set up. Our only problem was the terrible weather!

Thomas2015-08-28T00:00:00Z

Amazing cabin and amazing hot bath. Though it was quite difficult to find the place and there were no signal on my phone. So for a moment, I thought we would never found the place :( Very friendly host and an unforgettable experience.

Xiaoli2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved staying in this cabin, it was so wonderfully beautiful and was more than we could ever expect.

Carmen2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Stuart has an incredibly wicked sense of humour and you can tell by the accommodation offered. The shower was one of the best I have ever had and we regret we didn't have a bath too!!! You will know what I mean the minute you arrive. The location is stunning as Lake Vyrnwy and we absolutely loved our short stay. Stuart went the extra mile and even gave me my first experience of a quad bike. We were invited to join him for dinner at the Taverna and Stuart doubled as a Taxi driver as well as a host. We were very grateful. A great stay and much fun.

Zoe2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time at Stuarts Cabins. He was a wonderful host, he met us when we were lost, he took us on a tour to see the lake and dam. Stuart was there for anything you needed but also gave you your space when you wanted it. The cabins themselves were great, really well equipped and all bedding and towels were provided. The sauna was awesome, it got really hot quickly and it was easy to maintain. The outdoor bath and shower was a nice touch and definitely something to experience no matter the weather (we bathed at midnight in the rain :)). All in all a excellent night away and would recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to stay again and will stay for longer.

Kirstie Allsopp's Best of Both worlds programme on Channel 4 featured this romantic getaway for two.

There is something about this thatched cottage that brings out the romance. We have hosted many honeymooners, couples that become engaged while here, and anniversary trips. It is simply lovely and cosy in an architecturally unique building near to the Welsh coast. Our situation provides guests with an excellent base to explore the many local attractions and the Coastal Path. By staying at Ffynnon Oer Isaf you will avoid the tourist crowds while being able to dip into the beach villages (or the water) as you please. If you wish to bring a dog please inquire first. Ffynnon Oer is ideally located. We are located on a good road so guests can easily hop in their car for a quick explore. Our guests enjoy the fact that Ffynnon Oer is a “hot spot” (compared to other holiday locations). We offer reliable internet with wi-fi so you can sit on the sofa and plan your next adventure. Most guests receive a decent mobile signal. No worries about having to roam around in a field or hilltop trying to get a signal! On top of all its practical advantages, the cottage itself will be one of the highlights of your trip. Ffynnon Oer Isaf is one of the best surviving examples of an eighteenth century clom cottages in Wales. It is Grade II listed in recognition of its “outstanding architectural interest. “ The cottage was built around 1750, and although there have been alterations, the interior arrangement and many details are original to that time. The “crogloffts” are traditional sleeping platforms that were once common in West Wales, as were wickerwork chimneys such as the one seen here. Apart from doing repair work, no one has built in clom in this area for well over a century. The walls are protected with a traditional limewash and the oak crucks and roof structure are all original and untouched since the eighteenth century. Our gardens are lovely any time of the year. Even in winter, there are over 20 different varieties of snowdrops. The front of the house is planted with a rose and herb garden. Please cut the roses and herbs for your enjoyment. We are dog friendly; however, our garden is not fully enclosed. Canine visitors adore the coastal path or exploring the countryside. Bath towels, bed linens, and bathroom welcome pack are included. The house is situated in a small hamlet of houses. We are near to the beaches of ceredigion, Aberaeron (15 minutes), Llangranog (30 minutes) Lampeter, the Llanerchaeron estate, Aberystwyth (35 minutes) and lovely dining at Ty Mawr Mansion which has been awarded five stars from VisitWales. Paragliding and walking is popular in the area. This property is co-located with another property that sleeps six. Both can be booked at the same time for a large party of eight. Please visit our blog for more photos, latest news and things to do in the area. Airbnb will not allow the posting of a URL. You can find our blog by searching for "Tales from Wales" and the words "spring water cottages" or add my name, "Melise."

Everyone loves the drama of the Welsh coast. The peaceful view of sheep across the meadow and our lovely gardens. View our blog for lots of ideas on what to do and where to eat: search for 'springwater cottages" plus my name, "Melise" to find the blog. Please note: the house name is Ffynnon Oer Isaf. There is a gate at the front that says Ffynnon Oer in the grille work.

Melise's cottage is nothing short of magical! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here and would recommend it to anyone considering it

Calum2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our stay at Melise's cottage! The location is idyllic and the cottage itself is exceptional. Other posts have mentioned how the photos do not do it justice and we completely agree. The cottage is very spacious and perfectly comfortable for two people. Melise was away during our stay but Petra the housekeeper was lovely and helpful - providing us with additional firewood and even calling in on Boxing day to check the hot water! All in all our stay over Christmas was fantastic, we would highly recommend!

Matt2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

A fantastic place to stay, the pictures don't do it justice, will definitely be back again

martin2015-03-04T00:00:00Z

We had the dreamiest stay at Melisa's place. The location is a wonderful base close to so many gorgeous walks and adventures. The cottage is utterly charming and I'm counting down until we can come stay again! Thank you so much for facilitating the perfect weekend getaway.

Laura2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Had a wonderful time in this beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Excellent value for money and help was at hand for any queries x thank you melise x

Melanie 2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Perfect communication, location, accommodation for relaxation!! phew don't know why I just did that! Met by the lovely Petra who made us feel welcomed and was well informed about the area and our house. Couldn't fault it if we tried and we will be back sooner than you think!!

David2015-06-11T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage - we had a wonderful stay here at New Year and would love to come back someday. It's a beautiful part of the country. Melise (the owner) was very helpful and super-quick at responding to emails and Petra the housekeeper also very nice and always on hand to sort out anything we needed.

Jo2015-01-03T00:00:00Z

Melise and Petra were great; they knew it was my husband and I's little getaway after our very recent wedding and so there was a bottle of lovely fizz , flowers and chocolates awaiting us! Such a lovely thought! The cottage itself was simply perfect; the ideal place to return to at the end of a day exploring the surrounding countryside or coastal walk. It was fantastically cosy and kitted out perfectly. The bed was super comfy too :) The weather was much kinder to us than it had been for our wedding and we took full advantage of that. our 3 night stay was absolutely exactly what we hoped for and we can't thank Melise enough for offering it on AirBnB and Petra for looking after it so well. We definitely hope to pop back in the future! Warmest Wishes, Mrs Whitmore!

We loved our little flat in Cardigan. Penny was a great host and we loved learning the history of the building. Penny was very accommodating and friendly. Everything was beautiful and exactly like the photos. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thanks so much.

Catherine2016-04-04T00:00:00Z

I have never experienced a host going so far above and beyond. Penny is a hospitality saint. Not only did she make up a cozy little bed for my daughter next to mine, but she invited us for home made pizzas at her own home and let my little girl play with her cats and cuddle with her guinea pig Bruce. Totally above and beyond. And oh, the flat itself is spectacular and comfy with lots of character. This is a wonderful home base from which to explore the whole southwest of Wales. I particularly recommend the hike from Moylgrove to the Witch's Cauldron, a collapsed seaside cavern. We med some local seals here and enjoyed the waterfall.

Had a fantastic stay in this beautiful part of the world, made all the better for Penny's hospitality and brilliant recommendations of unmissable spots in the local area. The accommodation was lovely and very comfortable, situated in a perfect location. A wonderful way to start off our Welsh adventure!

Jennifer2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Penny was wonderful, perfectly accommodating and very knowledgable about the area. The apartment was stunning and our only regret was that we would have stayed longer if we could have.

Bret2014-06-21T00:00:00Z

Penny was a very accommodating, warm and fun host. She even knows how essential it is for one to have tea when you arrive-such a gem! Penny's place is a little haven. Perfectly located in Cardigan with beautiful walks on your doorstop (we recommend the Otter trail just over the river) and beauty spots, such as Mwnt, short drives away. The location allows you to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time. Do consider visiting New Quay if you fancy a dolphin spotting boat trip and a good walk from Poppit Sands to Newport via the coastal path. The room itself is a space of peace and tranquillity with all the things you require for a comfortable stay. It was beautifully clean and fresh when we arrived with the lovely touch of some fresh flowers on the kitchen top. No complaints at all! Thank you for a thoroughly wonderful stay. We look forward to returning!

Piers2015-06-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Penny (5 days, July 2016) left nothing to be desired! The lovingly and comfortably furnished studio is located in the upper part of a fully restored house from the 18th century. From there, everything is within walking distance: restaurants and cafés, the 'High Street' with its small shops, the River Teifi and the Castle. We are of our accommodation losgewandert right direction Wildlife Centre or Poppit Sands, a wide range of beautiful coastal walks are within 15 - to reach 30 minutes drive by car. Even with public transportation Cardigan is well connected. When Penny we felt from the first moment at home - it was very flexible with arrival and departure, always had a great recommendation for dinner or a day trip, and is just a great, personable hostess. We recommend!

Christina2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Penny was a lovely host, she greeted us when we arrived and talked us through the local area. The flat was perfect, such a great use of space and very cosy!

Thea2016-01-06T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Penny's apartment. The location is very convenient for Cardigan town centre and the nearby walks and sights. The apartment was beautiful, spotlessly clean and well-furnished. Penny was a friendly and welcoming host, with lots of good tips about where to go and what to see. I would definitely try to stay here again if visiting the area.

Six bed, Beautiful Edwardian home perfect for large family groups

Wonderful 6 bed Edwardian home in Mumbles Gower Peninsular, Wales. It's a beautiful, light, bright, warm house with roaring fires in the winter and right by the beach for sea bathing in the summer. A great family or couples space. Comfortably sleeps 11 adults with an extra child's bed and cot room to take a large family group. (Extra sofa beds & cots also available if you need them) Guests will have access to all areas of the house and garden as well as parking spaces for up to 5 cars at a push. We are not likely to meet much except at check in and check out times but will be available by text, phone, email if you need us for anything. Langland, Mumbles is a stone's throw from the family beaches of Rotherslade and Langland (2 minutes walk). The ever popular Mumbles with its seaside restaurants and boutique shops is a short walk in the other direction. There are two bus stops 400 meters from the house at the end of the lane busses going up the hill are generally heading towards The Gower peninsular and busses going down hill generally towards Mumbles and Swansea, they are fairly frequent not usually more than 20 minutes. We have an Apple TV system We don't charge cleaning fees :-) We don't charge for extra people :-) Check In Flexible (there's a coded key box) and Check out 11 at busy times but we are flexible with this when we can be, it depends on what other booking we have that day to prepare for.

Our house is 2 minutes on foot from Rotherslade and Langland beach which are great for swimming, surfing and paddle boarding in the summer and beautiful, bleak walks in the winter. There is access to the coast path and is a great walking spot. The fishing village of Mumbles is 4 minutes on foot in the opposite direction with a choice of bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours. Plus all the amenities that you might need from pharmacies and Post Office, to supermarkets, butchers, fishmongers, etc. The Mumbles front is great for easy walking and cycling. Our house is also a great base for exploring The Gower and West Wales by car.

We had a fantastic stay in James and Hester's wonderful house. James greeted us on arrival and was friendly, helpful and informative. Our party contained 6 adults, 3 young children and 3 babies but we never once felt cramped for room. The house is very spacious and the children loved the garden and well-stocked playroom. The open plan kitchen is great for cooking without having to miss out on any fun and the dining room is perfect for grand meals before retiring to the comfortable sofas and log fire.

Tom2016-04-02T00:00:00Z

A very nice house with unique features. Spacious double bedrooms for adults and bunk/fun bedrooms for children. Great comfort if stays in. 5min walk to the south beach and enjoy some locally prepared breakfast, or 20min walk to Mumbles high street and visit the pier/lighthouse.

Jasse2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

I stayed at James and Hester's property recently with a group of friends. It's a lovely, spacious, and interesting property with plenty of room for dining and entertaining. The house was very clean, has comfy beds, and was kitted out with tourist info: James was in touch leading up to the hire period and was very helpful with suggestions regarding what to do in the area and always on hand to quickly respond to any queries. The property is located in a peaceful neighbourhood about 10 mins walk from the town and sea front. We all had a great time and would definitely recommend this listing to any one with a large family or big group of friends that would like to experience Swansea Bay whilst staying in a great place. Emma

Emma2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

James and Heather have a beautiful house which is exactly as shown in the photos. Everything is tastefully decorated. The bedrooms are large and spacious with extra beds and cots so perfect for a large group with children. All bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs and access to the house is up a steep slope so older guests would struggle.

Joanna2016-05-20T00:00:00Z

James was excellent. The house was absolutely brilliant for 10 adults for a 30th birthday party. Very cosy. Mumbles itself is a great little town - check out the tiny real ale pub nearby - Mumbles Ale House I think. Am already investigating coming back with all the family.

Andrew2016-04-05T00:00:00Z

Huge wonderful house, easy walk to the sea, sensible walk to the town.

Andy2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Excellent- could nt ask for more

Helen2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay in this property for an Easter break with our extended family. It is well furnished and our hosts were very helpful in planning how our large group could best be accommodated in the various bedrooms. The house is very flexible - parents can gather around the kitchen with its settee and table, and the younger generation can gather in the lounge/dining room. There are two large dining tables that can be placed together to seat up to 10 people. The location is perfect. The house is a three minute walk from the beach, and walking distance from the centre of Mumbles. The house is well furnished with loads of bedding and towels provided. It is very homely with lots of quirky touches. Plenty of logs were provided for the log burners which we needed as storm Katie passed through. Our hosts were very responsive to our requests and resolved any minor issues quickly. We were met on arrival and made welcome. Everything was clean and all beds were made and laid out as we had agreed beforehand. This house is highly recommended for large groups!

Wooden Cabin in the Forest

Cozy wooden cabin in the heart of Wales set amongst the forest of beautiful Abergwesyn. Great base for walkers, bikers and cyclists or as a romantic getaway.

Cozy wooden cabin in the heart of Wales set amongst the forests of beautiful Abergwesyn. Great base for adventurers, walkers, bikers and cyclists or as a romantic getaway. Single room wooden 'glamping' cabin with outside under cover kitchen facilities. Separate toilet, sink and hot water shower in nearby barn. The cabin is located near to the owner's cottage, but is very private, and has it's own garden area with space for an extra tent. No other properties are visible from the cabin. Well behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement, and must be kept on a lead at all times outside the cabin. As required by the guests Stunning scenery, wildlife, wild swimming, mountain walking or biking, fabulous drives, and starry starry nights. Excellent pub food three miles away. The cabin is rural so a car, bike or bicycles are a necessity. Private parking is available.

Stunning scenery, wildlife, wild swimming, mountain walking or biking, fabulous drives, and starry starry nights. Excellent pub nearby.

We arrived at the cabin to a warm welcome from Janine. She showed us around and told us everything we needed to know for our stay. The cabin was amazing, everything u need is there. We really enjoyed our time at the cabin and wish we booked 2 nights instead of 1. Perfect for a romantic stay for 2. I would recommend this cabin for a great escape from city life and technology. We would 100% go back again

Kira2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Amazing location, perfect for escaping from modern tech and relaxing, with a very welcoming host. We've shared our photos and already have friends that want to book the "Cabin" in the future. I'm sure we'll be back too :)

Ross2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

We didn't see much of Janine but she had made good contact with us and left the key safe for our arrival. We had a lot of privacy which was great. The cabin in cute. The area is wonderful. Thank you Janine. Best regards.

Sue Alorah 2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

I had a lovely night in a perfect little cabin tucked away on the side of a wooded valley. It was very cosy despite the cold night with heated blankets and a space heater and I loved cooking my dinner on the open fire. It felt the perfect combination of being a little like camping but with all the home comforts and was wonderfully secluded and quiet with just the sound of the stream and the wind in the firs. Some fabulous walks right from the doorstep (I didn't see or hear anyone else in a four hour walk, wonderfully remote!)

Caroline2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

Very lovely located place. Close to many attractions. Nice host. Overall very good

Rafal2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

We stayed for one night and one night was not enough! This cabin is one of the most beautiful little retreats going in mid-Wales. There are all the facilities you'd need, and it is still super homely and outdoorsy. Janine is an absolutely wonderful host, and will recommend nearby places to go.

Mike2016-05-03T00:00:00Z

Janine was welcoming, provided clear directions and the cabin was clean and well-equipped. Very enjoyable stay.

Jeff2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

Janine was very welcoming and had made us some Welsh cakes for our arrival. The cabin is nicely furnished with plenty of blankets which we found essential to keep warm during our trip as there is no insulation and the electric heater struggled to heat the entire cabin. Would definitely recommend bringing plenty of layers. Having an area for a campfire was really good with all necessary equipment provided, as well as kitchen essentials and some food. The bathroom was fine however we found the shower lacked water pressure and was either freezing cold or much too hot. On the plus side we were able to run a hot bath. Overall we would recommend the cabin but feel it is better suited to the warmer summer months.

Christopher2012-09-30T00:00:00Z

The house is really lovely and is in a really nice area. It was a lovely walk to the main st and the hosts were really friendly and make amazing coffee.

Cheryl2014-06-06T00:00:00Z

We loved the house. It really is a funky urban jungle. Loved the bathroom, the comfy bed, the healthy breakfast, helpful tourist tips and friendly hospitality.

Toni2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

A little patch of paradise in a residential neighbourhood. The bed was comfortable and we loved the decor - the house felt incredibly homely! Yan made us feel welcome and was very attentive! Good location (around a 15 minute walk to the city centre) yet situated in a quiet residential street. Overall a great stay at a great price, especially since breakfast was provided!

Sam2017-02-18T00:00:00Z

I have stayed here a number of times and its always excellent. highly recommended

Richard2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

My Dad and I spent a wonderful weekend in Cardiff at David's and Yan's house. We really enjoyed our stay. We had our privat bathroom, which was really roomy and our bedroom was beautiful. I loved the bright and colourful walls in the house! We didn't meet David but Yan was a wonderful host. She prepared a wonderful breakfast and we loved the tea she had ready for us. I hope to be back one day. Anaïs

Natacha2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

This was our first stay with Airbnb and could not have had a better experience, location was perfect for what we needed, house is stunning, spotlessly clean, Yan was lovely, we had lovely fresh fruit and coffee this morning, perfect

Ashlee2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful experience. The only gripe would be the towels were scratchy, but if that's the worst thing that happened I think we're doing alright. Breakfast was delicious. The place is beautiful. Just as described. *hint* Really cool pub a block away, follow the awesome street art.

Tenby Town Centre AMAZING Location

Right in the heart of the beautiful historic Pembrokeshire seaside town of Tenby you will find this 1 bedroom apartment with views overlooking the cobbled town square itself.

Right in the heart of the beautiful historic Pembrokeshire seaside town of Tenby you will find this 1 bedroom apartment with views overlooking the cobbled town square itself. Comfortable second floor apartment overlooking the town square from its large bay window, a great place to watch the world go by with your morning coffee. Only footsteps away from the stunning blue flag beaches, shops, restaurants, wine bars and public houses. During the summer months you can enjoy al fresco dining as the town centre is pedestrianised between 11am - 5pm. Private side street access. Entire apartment including all basic amenities. Please note the apartment is on the 2nd floor so there are a few steps. Keeps us nice and active in our old age!! We are only next door so if you need anything at all, whether it be a cup of sugar or some local knowledge just give us a knock or drop us a text. So much to say.....Tenby is widely known as the jewel in Pembrokeshire's crown. However if you wish to venture outside the town walls you will find everything from historic castles, stunning coastal walks, national park sites to crazy golf, go karting and a theme park. The area has so much to offer it would be impossible to list it all here however we have left some tourist info in the apartment and we have lived here all our lives so happy to point you in the right direction. Also please remember there will be some residual noise from the town as you will be based within the heart of it.

So much to say.....Tenby is widely known as the jewel in Pembrokeshire's crown. However if you wish to venture outside the town walls you will find everything from historic castles, stunning coastal walks, national park sites to crazy golf, go karting and a theme park.

The apartment was great; clean, modern, great location. Linzi was a fantastic host; flexible on times, friendly and thoughtful enough to leave out a gift on arrival as it was my birthday. Would highly recommend.

Chris2014-12-07T00:00:00Z

Thankyou for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. The flat was perfect, a great location with everything we needed and some lovely little extras. Tenby is a stunning little town with plenty to occupy you; coastal walks, shops, restaurants, beaches, boat trips etc We will definitely be back again! Thanks linzi!

Kat2015-06-29T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at Linzi's place. It was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Its location in Tenby is the best - right in the middle of town. Tenby is very walkable and everything you need is close by. There is a Tesco Express about a minute's walk away. Many good places to eat right are outside the door. Linzi is a great host - she met us at the train and was available for us if we needed her. We could not have asked for more.

Amanda2015-06-04T00:00:00Z

Linzi was a wonderful host, full of tips and advice! The apartment was stunning and really clean, everything smelled like flowers and there were lovely little touches to make me feel right at home. The location was amazing, right in the centre of town and a short walk to the station. Tenby is a wonderfully beautiful town and Linzis hospitality and her beautiful apartment made it all the more memorable. Thanks Linzi!

Nicole2015-05-12T00:00:00Z

Lovely apartment with even the smallest detail thought about - in a fab location, communication was brilliant and host very flexible with check in times, will definitely be back to stay again Thanks again Em

Emma2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

The apartment is situated perfectly on the high st. Parking is only a short walk away. Directions and communication from Linzi were easily followed. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a short break and although we did not cook all utensils, cutlery and crockery are provided. We had a great stay and it was so much nicer than staying in a hotel room.

Simon2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Excellent location, perfect for access to all nearby areas and the town itself. We could not have wished for a better short break.

donna2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

We loved our short stay in Tenby, great central location and a lovely clean apartment with great facilities and finishing touches, felt very homely and well looked after by Linzi.

Luxury LoftApartment Nr City Centre with Parking

In Canton, a fabulous light filled spacious apartment with amazing décor perfect for singles, couples, a romantic retreat, a group of friends, families and business travel. A stone's throw from City Centre with easy quick transport links or walking. 15/20 min walk to City Centre . 10 min walk to Cardiff City Stadium. The stunning galleried bedroom area is on a mezzanine level overlooking a large living area. Secure Private Parking and Bike Shed in gated courtyard and outside seating area.

This stylish unique and arty apartment really has the WOW factor and is approx. 840 square feet (78 square metres), It is located in an architect designed conversion of a pub dating back to 1898 (with original features). The high tall windows are a real focal point to the apartment . You will have the whole apartment to yourself and you will find milk, yummy croissants/pastries, coffee, tea and condiments. The apartment is a unique space set over 3 levels - as you walk in you have the bedroom and living area to the right (upstairs to the bedroom, downstairs to the living room), the bathroom straight ahead and the kitchen around and to the left. The bathroom and kitchen have ceramic tile flooring and the rest of the apartment has oak flooring. The beautiful bedroom area is located on a galleried mezzanine level with a contemporary glass and polished chrome balustrade looking out over the the living/dining area. There are high ceilings and tall windows which let the light flood into the apartment. There is a clothes rail with wooden hangers, ample storage for clothes and the bed has beautifully soft cotton satin sheets. The large living/dining area (18ft x 19ft) has 2 sofas ( one a comfortable sofa bed) under the overhang of the mezzanine for privacy, . plus a huge squashy large bean bag as well as a glass dining table and a SMART television/dvd player. There is also super-fast Wi-Fi (70Mbps). There is a wall-mounted electric fireplace which gives a focal point to the room and a Bose bluetooth speaker so you can listen to your own music. One of the high walls (double-height) has little recessed alcoves with blue mood lighting.

The contemporary bathroom features an L-shaped bath with a powerful shower, shaver plug and heated towel rail with huge , fluffy, soft Ralph Lauren bath sheets - perfect after a candlelit bubble bath (bubble bath supplied!)

Easy access to everything Cardiff has to offer. Principality Stadium and Cardiff City Stadium. Music and Concert Venues, wide range of restaurants, bars, nightspots and cool cocktail lounges. Cardiff Bay with the Welsh Millenium Centre, Wales national home for the performing Arts and the home of Welsh National Opera, Dr Who Experience, Mermaid Quay, Techniquest and a wide selection of restaurants, bars and cafes. The apartment is close to the Taff Trail running alongside the River Taff which is a popular walking and cycle path providing exceptional views and scenery over 55 miles between Cardiff Bay and Brecon. Bring your own bikes and leave them in the secure bike shed or hire them when you get here. Canton where the apartment is located or "Treganna" in Welsh, is a multicultural area to the west of Cardiff city centre and is very convenient for all the Cardiff attractions, shops, restaurants and bars. Canton had a huge influx of Irish immigrants in the 19th century, so perhaps this is why there are so many lively local pubs around the district. Speaking of which - the apartment itself is in an architect-designed conversion of a pub dating back to 1898 and a small part of the building has been retained as a pub - The Lansdowne Pub. The pub serves real ales, Weiss beers, good cider, proper pub food - as well as pickled eggs! It also won the prestgious CAMRA Cardiff pub of the year in 2014 and 2015. Generally you will not hear any noise from the pub - the only time you might hear some noise is if there is a Wales rugby match on! If you have not experienced a Welsh rugby match in Wales before we would recommend you get stuck in and soak up the atmosphere! It's not just pubs in Canton - it's also home to the HQ for arty folk in Cardiff -Chapter Arts Centre - which describes itself as "an ambitious, multi-artform cultural space that presents and produces international art, performance and film alongside a dynamic social space." The area offers a lot due to its multicultural society. The cocktail of cultures makes it one of the most vibrant and diverse in Cardiff, which is good news for those who like to eat out. Whether you're into dim sum, fancy a taste of British aka 'fish & chips', or Mediterranean floats your boat, Canton has it all. For your day-to-day needs there is a small cornershop about a minute's walk away and a larger Co-Operative supermarket about a 5 minute walk away where you should be able to buy pretty much everything you need for your stay. In terms of Sports, Cardiff City football stadium is around 10 minutes walk and the Principality is around 20 minutes walk. Easy access to all the attractions Cardiff offers.

Caroline was very welcoming and friendly. The apartment was a lot better than we expected. Unique and luxurious with the best possible amenities. Definitely staying again when in Cardiff.

Sahil2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

Fantastic apartment, clean, tidy and modern just as shown in the photos and described. Caroline made us very welcome and we found every thing we needed.

Daryl2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Caroline's beautiful apartment for one night having come to see a concert at the principality stadium. We were taken back by the spacious and homey abode and were made to feel very comfortable and welcome immediately. Could not fault anything with the flat or with the service, will definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend staying here. 10/10

Jon2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

What a lovely apartment and a wonderful host.. Caroline met us at the apartment and showed us around on arrival, and after left us to settle in. We really enjoyed our stay there the apartment itself is wonderful and in a convenient location, the wifi and amenities where fantastic. Caroline left us fresh milk and croissants which was such a lovely gesture. First time I've used Airbnb and I can safely say I will be sure to use it again and hope to have a similar experience. Thanks again Caroline and we will be back :-) Niki

Niki2016-03-21T00:00:00Z

Caroline was a great host - she was very accommodating and able to respond to any requests or concerns quickly. The apartment itself is beautiful and modern and looks exactly like the pictures. Would stay here again!

Sauhin2016-05-28T00:00:00Z

Caroline's apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. Our son slept on the sofa bed and we slept on the mezzanine. Because of the layout this meant we could hear him easily and vice-versa, which suited us well but might not be ideal for other families. The secure parking was such a bonus and meant we didn't have to stress about finding a space at the end of a busy. Caroline has really thought about every need and created a comfortable space.

Danielle2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

Apartment is really nice, Caroline was fantastic and would highly recommend staying here!

Ashley2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Three of us went away none of us knowing Cardiff at all. Before we left Caroline emailed wishing us a good weekend and to phone her if we needed anything. Once we got there she was in contact with us by text making sure we were OK and had found everything. She had left milk and croissants which was a lovely touch. The apartment was lovely, well equipped, clean and modern and her book with what to see and do, restaurants, etc was very informative. Went to a fab tapas restaurant just 15 min walk away. You are spoilt for choice in Cardiff as its full of great restaurants. The bus into Cardiff was 5 min walk away so it was very convenient and we all loved Cardiff, everyone was so friendly - the bus driver told us exactly how to get into the centre and wrote down the bus no's we could take to get back. The pub next door was buzzing but you couldn't hear a thing in the apartment. Serves a decent glass of Sauvignon blanc! We would love to come back to Cardiff and definitely would stay here again.

Artists cottage. Snug in Snowdonia

Come and relax in this quirky little home in the heart of Snowdonia. From the doorstep walk through the woods, along a river with waterfalls, into the mountains. 10 minutes drive to the sea. or Snowdon. Or a steam train ride.

Step over the threshold and make this your home for the length of your stay. Relax in the colourful spaces within- relish the quirky and lovingly chosen decor. Breath in the clean sweet air. Be soothed by sights and sounds around you- the gentle waterfall you can hear if you sit quietly downstairs. waking in the night to silence or the occasional owl hooting. The scent of log fires greets you as you return from a local walk. This is a 3 bed room terraced cottage in Snowdonia, at the edge of the Lleyn peninsula. It is close to the town of Porthmadog. Located on the A4085- a quiet road - easy access and no problem to find with a satnav. Parking has changed. due to some guest unfortunately misunderstanding instructions I can no longer offer access to the farm yard and must ask guests to park very carefully immediately outside the cottage. there is a line painted around the parking space- if you park outside this you risk being woken at dawn by an angry neighbour beeping their horn, or worse- banging on the door. you also risk having your car damaged (not by the angry neighbour but with a vehicle trying to squeeze past!) If you are in a party with 2 or more cars then the other drivers must park in one of the laybys- about five minutes walk from the cottage- you must contact me for information on this. If any guests park in the farm yard I will have to leave them a negative review. Hopefully in time the farmer will let me use the space again. The house has a good size sitting room with a wood burning stove- enough logs provided for your stay- extras can be bought from the local shop. a halogen heater and a small oil filled radiator are available for instant heat.Fire blanket, fire extinguisher, first aid kit and torch on shelf next to fire place. Lots of choice books and board games. Children's corner in living room with a little basket of small toys and books. I can provide a travel cot, push chair and highchair on request. There is a small tv with a DVD player and a selection of DVDs- but no TV reception. some people manage to pick up wi-fi- BT if you have it. Well equipped kitchen- electric fan oven, gas burner hob. Micro wave, electric kettle, toaster, cafetiere, fridge-freezer, plenty of utensils...even a rolling pin. Fire blanket next to cooker. Bath room with power shower and deep bath- the water is heated by the stove and gets really hot, there is also an electric emersion heater for summer time. Hair dryer, iron, ironing board and drying rack. shampoo and hand wash provided. all bed linen provided fresh pillow cases, duvet with cover and sheet - all changed for each new set of guests. Towels - provided on request for a surcharge of £15 per booking- ie, regardless of numbers of guests. tea towels provided. The house has three bedrooms. The main one has a double bed and vaulted ceiling- with views across to the mountains. Wardrobe and bedside table with lamp. middle room has a double bed, built in cupboard and bedside cupboard with lamp. The back bed room has twin beds, bedside cabinet and lamp. All beds have 15 tog non -feather duvets, duvet cover, pillow cases, sheets and mattress covers on all the beds. I change the bedding for every new set of guests. Disposable mattress protectors available on request for toddlers who are still getting used to big beds. There is also a blanket each and a hot water bottle for each bed for extra chilly nights- though the radiators should keep you warm. From the front door you can walk to famous horizontal climbing cliffs at Carreg Hyll Drem. Great for bouldering as well. Walk a bit further and follow the river and water falls along the quartz ridge to nearby mountain Cnicht, break your journey at the lovely Croesor cafe with home made cakes, art gallery and wood burning stove. Just up the road, an easy walk, is Brondanw Gardens, family home to Clough Williams Ellis who built Portmerion. There is a great little cafe there that sells crafts. Five minutes drive away are the Tremdog cliffs and the Eric Jones climbers cafe. Lots of cafes - all of them selling decent fresh coffee. A mile or so to the Pont Croesor RSPB Osprey nesting view site. The Osprey nest and breed- (average 3 chicks) between May and late September- they often can be seen from the house- flying home in the evenings. 5 miles away- The Italianate village Portmerion- made famous by the Prisoner and host to arts and music festival "6" in September There are steam train rides at Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways, both running from Porthmadog. Castles- Harlech and Criccieth- both about 9 miles away (in opposite directions) Caernarfon- about 15 miles away. 5 miles from wild beaches. Lakes, rivers and waterfalls within walking distance- perfect for wild swimmers. 15 minutes drive from Coed Y Brenin mountain bike trails. There is a very good pub (Brondanw Arms- known locally as The Ring) that stocks real ales and makes excellent food- a mile up the road- a pleasant walk there and back if you want to have a drink and not take the car. Also a mile away is a well stocked village shop with all you need including fresh veg and lots of local produce. It has a cafe and does a take away meal special each Friday. For bigger shops Porthmadog (5 miles away) has a Lidl, Aldi and Tesco, as well as a deli and a wholefood shop. The house has a good size sitting room with a wood burning stove- fuel provided. Well equipped kitchen. Bath room with power shower. Don't expect wi-fi or TV..phone reception is limited to the upstairs, front bedroom. The local pub and the village shop both have wi-fi. Do expect- glorious sunsets. The sound of a waterfall to lull you to sleep. For a small extra charge (£5) we can provide transport from Penrhyndeudraeth- Cambrian Coastline- station for people wanting to travel without cars-- the train comes direct from Birmingham International. I do need at least 2 weeks notice for this to be arranged. It will depend on my schedule. The house is close to a bus route which links to walks up Snowdon- Sherpa service. We live near by- the house is all to yourselves. Have a look at the Street View..if you twizzle it around you get a sense of the landscape- you can walk for many miles before coming to a reminder of the 21st century. This is the perfect getaway- see what it feels like to have a break from e-smog...free your mind a while. The internet will still be there when you go home.

this area has a long history of interesting visitors- when Clough Williams Ellis ( the creator of Portmerion) was alive he had all sorts of artistic and literary friends visiting and staying, sometimes for years! this has left a legacy of warm curiosity and a generous sprinkling of artists, musicians and writers who either live here or visit. it is a land of inspiration. Meirioneddshire has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe- thats why I leave the house key in such an accessible place, with no worries. One recent guest commented " I felt so safe staying here" relax- breath easy.

Annie made us feel very welcome, she had kindly left milk and welsh cakes. We loved the setting of the cottage, Annie had written out great walk instructions starting at the cottage. We used to visit Snowdonia regularly and it was lovely to be back in such beautiful countryside. The accommodation was comfortable, bearing in mind we had snow on the mountain tops, we spent money in the local shop on logs to keep the fire burning to keep warm. We could not park all that near the cottage. The local pub had good food and was friendly.

Lesley2016-03-08T00:00:00Z

We had a delightful weekend in this homely cottage hiding from the weather. Comfy and warm with plenty of firewood. The local pub Brondanw Arms had great food and beer and Beddgelert was just a short drive away, as were Portmeirion and Portmadog . Didn't get a chance to meet Annie but everything we needed was there when we arrived. Thanks, would certainly come again

William2016-02-21T00:00:00Z

The cottage was peaceful, clean and as described. Very good communication from Annie. Kitchen was fully equipped. (inc cafeteria). Beds very comfortable, would definitely go again and recommend.

Lyndsay2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

This flat is very well situated in Snowdonia. Although we only stayed 3 nights we felt we got a good taste of North Wales. The phone number we had for Annie was actually for her son so we had to let ourselves in. She arrived soon after and gave us a good intro to the flat and environs. Parking is a bit of a problem. Our car didn't fit in the space provided. I recommend hiring a smallish one so it will fit one the space. The local pub is a bust so go on to the next town to find a decent meal.

Bonnie2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

This was the perfect location for us to set up wedding HQ. Annie was welcoming and so helpful, even letting us extend our stay to help us out in the lead up to the big day. The cottage was perfect for us to have some relaxation time and the neighbours were so friendly. I loved the cosiness and the views and getting ready here on the wedding morning with my girls and parents was super special. Thank you Annie, we will definitely look forward to another visit, Angharad and Miles xx

Angharad2014-06-30T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at Annie's quirky and comfortable cottage in North Wales. The Welsh cakes on arrival were a warm welcome especially after getting a little lost due to limited Internet access. The local countryside is stunning with lovely walks near by. Great to use the fire at the end of each day. A very clean and comfortable stay that felt homely and welcoming. Excellent for 3 adults.

Rachel2014-09-12T00:00:00Z

Annie welcomed us friendly and explained everything to us in the house. The house is beautifully decorated and we immediately felt comfortable. The handwritten by Annie walks in the immediate area we came across a lot of fun and we had the weather on our side. With the late afternoon sun on the bench in front of the house could not be better.

Christina2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Had such a lovely stay at Annie's cottage. It was the perfect girly get away for our adventurous weekend trekking up mount snowdon. the cottage was beautiful and the neighbourhood was quiet and relaxing. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

Unique attic room: very central and quiet.

A comfortable attic room in an older house with plenty of character, very close to everything in Cardiff - only 5-10 minutes walk from the bus and train stations, city centre, Cardiff Castle etc. A comfortable double futon bed + up to 2 single beds available. The room is up a wooden stair-ladder so you do need to be a bit 'fit' and is peaceful and private, away from the rest of the house. We'll make sure you feel welcome, and help any way we can to make your stay in Cardiff an enjoyable one.

This attic room is very peaceful, with a view out over the city rooftops to Cardiff Castle, the rugby stadium, and the city centre. It has a comfortable double futon and a single bed (with option for another bed and possibly a foam mattress on the floor), so is suitable for a couple plus 1, 2, or 3 single people. Use of kitchen, and back garden. Fast wi-fi, city centre maps, guide books etc. available Je parle francais - y hablo espanol tambien. My Welsh isn't so good, though!

Riverside is a friendly multicultural community with plenty of character and some great local bars and cafes. There is a farmers market (which I started many years ago) every Sunday morning very close to my house, selling excellent fresh local Welsh food of all kinds. It's a great place to meet people

excellent reception, the room is spacious and comfortable, the host is jovial and friendly. beautiful hens on the back, and excellent breakfast (thank you Steve!) convenient parking in front of the house, and walk you arrive in the center. Highly recommended!

Stefano2016-03-10T00:00:00Z

Steve is sooooo nice! The attic room is unique and everything is clean. So lucky to hear their family playing music together. Although it was raining heavily at my arrival in Cardiff, I had a great time staying in his cosy house. It's 5 min walk to train station and also close to the city centre. I left a pendant, but he posted it to me in time.

Elvis2015-05-15T00:00:00Z

It was my first time using the airb&b app. We enjoyed the 2days stay at Steve place!;) thank you so much!

Asyiqin2015-06-20T00:00:00Z

We had only a short time at Steve's place, but he was a great host. Beautiful quirky house, awesome attic room with a ladder that made you feel like you were sleeping in a treehouse. Location pretty much unbeatable. Probably the best AirBnB deal we've ever had.

Cale2014-04-07T00:00:00Z

Stay at Steve's house was really good. Location of the house is convenient - close to city centre. Steve is a friendly and cheerful person and a great host. We could use kitchen aminities, washing machine etc. You can definitely feel like home at Steve's place. Maria&Paweł

Maria2014-09-19T00:00:00Z

Steve was very welcoming when I arrived at the house and as this was my first time using airbnb for a room rather than apartment he certainly put me at ease. He also was good at being in touch and making sure he was there to meet and greet. The area is spitting distance from the town centre and is a fantastically diverse part of Cardiff - making it very useful for transport and the stadium. The wifi was excellent and having a key just to bob in and out was great. The room is as described and was perfectly clean so no complaints there, although the bathroom less so. Bedding was fresh and clean and a towel was provided. The view out from attic windows was lovely - overlooking the stadium. A couple of notes of caution - if you do not like heights or ladders then this is not for you as getting in and out of the loft is quite an experience. Also, as someone who used to work for the fire service and for local government I do not believe if this was a registered B&B this would be legal as being in an attic without a fire escape or fire doors would be acceptable under both council building regulations and something called the Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order 2005.

Richard2014-09-24T00:00:00Z

Steve is very cool guy, friendly and willing. The room is nice and include useful leaflets about Cardiff and Wales. Location is in the calm area near to the city centre. We really enjoyed our stay and we did not encounter any problems. We would recommend it.

Silvia2015-05-02T00:00:00Z

Steve was friendly and helpful. Our space was warm and comfortable. Great stay.

A converted railway carriage for 5 on the very edge of Cardigan Bay. No neighbours, just you and the waves...and dolphins as Europe's largest colony live year-round! Sleeps 5 in 2 bedrooms! WIFI & woodburner. INSTANT BOOK - Calendar updated daily :)

INSTANT BOOK - My calendar is updated every day of the year so you may 'Instant Book' with confidence. :) No need to ask 'if available'. The carriage is snug ALL year round - panel radiators in every room and, woodburner, and double glazing. What's included? Basically just bring yourselves, and food and drink. The bed/s are made (according to number staying) with 100% cotton linen, towels & teatowels provided, fresh dishcloth every time (and washing up liquid, and liquid soap, and first few toilet rolls). First basket of logs (and kindling, paper, matches) for the woodburner. The kitchen is equipped. All you need is to relax, get out on the veranda with your drink of choice, and start looking for dolphins! Conde Nast Traveller - Top Five 'best spots to enjoy the British Seaside' 'This carriage has reached her final staging post - between the beaches of Aberporth and Tresaith. The only neighbours are the birds...this is the perfect place for toasting crumpets after a day's walking or dolphin-spotting' (Sally Shalam for Conde Naste Traveller magazine). Enjoy some of the finest views in Wales from our converted Edwardian railway carriage located on the coastal footpath between the sandy beaches at Aberporth and Tresaith. Many guests see Europe's largest colony of bottle-nose dolphins in the bay in front, and direct access to the heritage coast footpath makes our carriage the ideal location for exploring the West Wales coast. Peaceful location with no roads within 300 yards. You can catch sea bass and mackerel on lines from the rocks in front of the carriage. In Detail - All rooms in the carriage are lined in oak, are insulated and have panel heaters so are suitable for use all year round. We love it when it is stormy in winter! WIFI provided free of charge, works in every room (note we've never had any problem with it, and to our knowledge it always works, but like any accommodation provider we cannot guarantee WIFI) Kitchen with cooker, microwave etc. Fairly basic as kitchens go but better views than most you'll have used! Fridge with small freezer compartment. Door to rear covered patio 'the train platform'. 'Salon' with woodburner (first basket of fuel supplied). Two sofas Verandah with views to the front. benches and table. Bedroom Compartment 1: standard size Double bed, wardrobe etc, luggage racks! It's compact, but cosy. Fitted wardrobe and dressing table. Hairdryer. Bedroom Compartment 2: Standard size Double bed + one narrow train bunk (suitable only for child). Again, note it's compact! Dining Compartment: It wouldn't be a train without one! 1930s Oak dining suite. Shower Room with quality quadrant shower, toilet etc. Heated chrome towel rail and blast fan for warmth when you get out of the shower. Garden (enclosed) with access to sea, picnic bench, also private patio to rear WIFI included free of charge, but, like in any accommodation, cannot be guaranteed. Always worked so far :)

(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) the Ceredigion coastal footpath and you'll see why I love it! Location between two of UK's best sandy, Blue-Flag beaches - Aberporth and Tresaith.

Greg, from the start, was a great host: He ensured that we had clear communication, and, without delay, addressed each and every query which we had. As our first holiday break organised through AirBnB, it could not have run more smoothly. The accommodation was jam-packed with character: The majority of the original features of the carriage remain, and are maintained to a high standard. My son absolutely loved it, and thought he was in a Harry Potter movie! I can very safely say that the views from the accommodation are nothing short of spectacular: An incredible cliff-top view of the Irish Sea, with the Welsh hills in the far distance. As a place to stay, we have never been in a more atmospheric environment, and I would be prepared to recommend this holiday, with confidence, to anyone.

Richard2015-11-23T00:00:00Z

Beautiful carriage, lots of character and very cosey during what was some very bad weather. It was clean, tidy and very well equipped. The location is great, short walk to several beaches and pubs. The ship in Treziath is excellent. Couldn't have asked for more. The WiFi however is very poor, we weren't bothered about this at all but if you needed it for work then you'd be better off going to a near by pub for a reliable connection. Again what do you need WiFi for with views like Wendy has. Thanks Greg!

Paul2016-02-09T00:00:00Z

Wendy is a delightful place to stay in the perfect spot to get away from it all. The descriptions are accurate, the accommodation cosy and full of character yet has everything that you may need.

Danielle2016-03-29T00:00:00Z

I booked the train carriage for my sister and her family as a birthday present. The directions made sense and everything was as described. It is a charming place and I would highly recommend to other guests. Thank you Greg and Yvonne.

JOHN2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

From start to finish a really well run, off the beaten track break. Pictures and description match experience, booking a breeze, communication efficient but not OTT and on arrival you have everything you need. Carriage is fun, cosy, well equipped and right on the coastal walk. Would very happily stay at another of Greg's places after Aberporth.

Jonathan2016-03-22T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our all too brief stay in Wendy! The weather was glorious, which helped as we were able to have breakfasts and evening meals outside on the verandah or in the garden, overlooking wonderful sea and coastal views - we even spotted Dolphins! Having said that, once it went dark and damp (British August weather!) it was fantastic to come inside to the lit log burner and snuggle up with more wine (we drank plenty whilst there!) and s book. We adored the decor in Wendy - the wood paneling, the long train corridor with lights and railway posters, the old leather suitcases, the Cody lounge and the verandah. It's so peaceful - I downloaded stuff onto my iPad to watch whilst there but didn't watch any of it - so much nicer to just enjoy the view and the peace. We did enjoy the radio though - good fun having it belting out music whilst preparing prawns and scallops one night and fillet steak the next!! Who would want to eat out when you have such a perfect view from Wendy! We walked the coastal path to Tresaith and stopped for a pint at the Ship overlooking the beach then walked on to the National Trust beach Penbryn, walked back to the Ship for another pint then back to Wendy - fab! Aberporth is also lovely and the local stores near the car park sell great logs which we bought for the second night. We also visited Mwnt, an incredible NT beach and piece of coast with superb views. The flowers in the garden at Wendy. were lovely and I cut fuchsias, montbretia and dog roses for a glass jug on the verandah - nice to have and I left them for the next visitors. On the minus side, there were only 3 knives (tricky if here had been 4 of us) and a couple of the lovely vintage Welsh rail travel posters in the bedrooms are getting torn and tatty and need replacing as everything else is so lovely. A wonderful, unique experience - we will certainly be back!

Sue2015-08-18T00:00:00Z

We had a very detailed description of the wonderful location of the wagon; had to drag there a small adventure in itself, all things for a family of 5 about half a kilometer, but the effort was fully compensated by the breathtaking location and stylish interior of the wagon and the private setting and quiet by the car-free location. Everything was as described. Thank you for this beautiful experience. Family Nürnberger

Silke2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

Loved every single moment of our stay. The coastal path is wide and easy to walk along, stunning views. Saw dolphins every day. The carriage is very cosy, warm and comfortable. Saw lots of dog walkers who were friendly and interested in 'Wendy'. It would be fantastic to have more history on this grand old lady to read about in the carriage and any old photos framed on the walls. All the local shops were fine for what we needed as we were more interested in the wildlife along the bay and I couldn't bare to be too far away from such a gorgeous holiday home. We even saw 4 rainbows appear across the sea within half an hour, just such a beautiful place.Can't fault our stay. Would love to come back again soon. We would both highly recommend this beautiful part of Wales and 'Wendy' :0)

Small stone Bothy in tranquil garden with stunning views over Clwydian hills. Pretty self contained bothy with double sofa bed, wood burning stove, compost loo, private, own parking, tea making facilities,use of shower in main house.

This is a secluded romantic self contained space in a beautiful setting with a small wood burning stove, private parking and stunning views.

This is a peaceful neighbourhood, steeped in history. Set in tranquil countryside with stunning views and tranquillity. With private parking, bus stop 100 metres away and public house 100 metres away.

The bothy was just the best. Stayed here with my little 2 year old lad. Nice, cosy, quiet, and safe. The people in the nearby pub were all so friendly too. We will defo be back. Thank you for everything, Jenny!

Gary2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Stayed for the weekend to get some writing done. Quiet, peaceful setting, lovely warm log burner and back up electric heaters too!

Jasmin2016-12-11T00:00:00Z

The bothy is a real, old stone cottage. It is incredibly charming and some of the details are just lovely (window casements!). We were greeted by fresh sweet peas s not a hotel.

Lorien2014-07-26T00:00:00Z

Lovely little hidey-hole, kept snug with two heaters and a wood fire if needed. Jenny and Gary were generous and kind hosts. We'll hopefully be back!

Rebecca2014-10-08T00:00:00Z

Lovely little place in a scenic area....the local pub is very friendly. Very cosy and the host Jenny is lovely x

Lisa2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

Jenny was great, bothy was lovely, location was stunning.

Madeleine2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

My partner and I have just had a lovely weekend at this great little bothy. It's just as described, if not better! The views are lovely, there is ample parking and it was in a lovely spot. It's nice and cosy, equipped with extras like tea-making facilities, including chocolate biscuits! The log burner was lovely and made the place feel snug. There are also two electric heaters which keep the place warm. There is a fantastic pub literally seconds away from bothy. The girls who run it are great and have only recently started to serve food, which is throughly recommended. Despite the pub being so close, though, you wouldn't know as we didn't hear a thing! We felt completely secluded-it was perfect! Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Jenny, as she was away, but she left instructions for us and offered to stay in contact should we need anything. Yes, it's basic; we didn't have any shower facilities as Jenny was away, there should be an outdoor matt too as it was quite muddy outside and we ended up walking some mud in, and the sofa bed was quite small, but all in all, we would definitely recommend this place and will visit again.

Sam2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

Very convenient, in a nice location and the host was really helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The bothy itself is very stylish, not with extreme comforts or services, but ideal for us who were looking for an inexpensive convenient stay in North Wales. The hosts were discrete, helpful and friendly. Thank you!

What a fantastic place to stay! I went with a small group of friends and it was exactly what we wanted, managing to be spacious and also warm and cosy. The hot tub was a great plus, and we enjoyed the fact that there were dogs and cats rocking about. We were very looked after, and given lots of advice on where to go; waterfall walks, and the Big Pit definitely recommended! A good distance to the village (walkable in about 20 mins, if you're (URL HIDDEN) can get very dark!), but that is what we wanted, to feel like we were properly in the countryside (as we all live in London), and the star gazing was fab. We had a good meal in the local pub one night, and went to The White Horse another night, which is worth the 10 minute drive because the food was fantastic! We also cooked one evening and found the kitchen very usable. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for us, thanks so much.

We loved our 2 nights stay! It was so well priced and having the hot tub made out weekend. A group of girls met for a well over due get together to which we never left the building. There are some amazing walks near by which the host gave us all the instructions but we were enjoying the comfort and atmosphere in the house. We did run out of bread which the host very quickly messaged and helped us out. We will be staying again. Thank you

Nicola 2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Our stay here was excellent. Received all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and the hosts were very friendly. The home was cosy and conveniently located in the Brecon Beacons.

Kayleigh2016-11-01T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at the house- ideal for what we needed and had lovely informative hosts. A good location if you want to walk up Pen y Fan and do the 4 waterfalls trail with walking behind Sgwd yr Eira waterfall being a highlight! We hired the hot tub too for our stay and that was great! Thank you / Diolch :)

We had only one short night in Snowdonia but it was a very comfortable home away from home. Julie had thought of everything to make our stay a success, and we loved our first taste of Welsh cakes. Thanks Julie and family!

We had a great stay at the woodland retreat, it was definitely the relaxing break that we were craving! Julie was such a welcoming host and ensured that the heaters and electric blanket were on for when we arrived! The location is great, the apartment was clean and had everything that we needed and the wifi worked throughout our stay! We will definitely be back!

Julie and her Family made us feel very welcome and right at home. The cottage was cosey and charming and had everything we needed to concentrate on making the most of our vacation. Julie was very helpfull with every problem. It is the perfect base to explore Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey.

Had a lovely stay at Julie and Geoffs place, both very friendly, were relaxed about arrival and leaving times and helpful with our questions of how best to get around the area. Perfect location for Zipworld, just a short walk away. Thank very much!

We had such a wonderful stay at caban y coed! It is charming and cozy, and had everything we needed during our adventure in Snowdonia. The location is perfect for exploring the mountains or strolling around coastal towns. Julie and Geoff were wonderful hosts! They are warm and welcoming, and they instantly made us feel like friends rather than visitors. We really appreciated how they went the extra mile (literally!) to accommodate us when our travel plans went awry. We would recommend them as hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing stay off the beaten path in North Wales. In fact, we can't wait to be back some day!

Almost frightened to leave feedback in case it makes it harder to book here in the future!... the accommodation was just so good and right for us and Julie and Geoff were so hospitable and friendly. Thanks!

5 Star Rating for Julie and her hidden gem of a cottage! Julie really made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived and immediately we knew we'd made a great choice! The weather was pretty terrible and so we couldn't venture outside at all during our stay but were quite happy to so as our new home for the day and night was fantastically cosy!! The house was already stocked with teabags, milk, coffee and even a little tiny box of chocolates as it was Valentines day when we arrived which was very sweet of our host. The little touches from the host and all around the house is what makes it extra special, a great little selection of books to read, scrabble board, a range of literature about the areas history and attractions also. I could go on and on, but I'll end my review by thanking our host for a wonderful time and next time we'll be staying longer!!

We had a lovely winter break in Julie and Geoff's retreat even in a rain soaked February! With the heaters and electric blanket we were able to escape from the weather when we needed to; but well placed to get out and about. The scenery was beautiful of course and easily walkable. Julie very kindly provides basic provisions and Welsh cakes! We would recommend going to The White Eagle on Holy Island for a Sunday lunch especially. We highly recommend this cottage.
