Groes Newydd is a well-liked cottage in North Wales, praised for its stunning views, cosy atmosphere, and suitability as a peaceful retreat. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the warmth provided by the AGA range. The surrounding area offers beautiful walks and the property is considered a great base for exploring Snowdonia. Some guests noted challenges with the steep access road and occasional maintenance issues, but overall, the cottage's charm and location provide a memorable stay.
Cleanliness
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found it welcoming and clean, others reported issues with cobwebs, leftover food in the dishwasher, and flea bites. The presence of dead flies and dust in some areas suggests room for improvement in cleaning routines.
Location
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, stunning views, and proximity to nature and local attractions. The challenging access via steep and narrow roads was noted, but many found it manageable and worth the reward of the cottage's setting.
Comfort
Guests generally found the cottage warm and cosy, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. The AGA range added to the comfort during cooler months. However, some discomfort was reported due to heat in the kitchen and master bedroom during sunny days.
Facilities
Facilities were deemed adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and good Wi-Fi. However, there were comments about the lack of a vacuum or brush, issues with the AGA, and a need for garden maintenance. The presence of a welcome pack was appreciated, although not consistently mentioned.

About this property
This traditional, stone-built, semi-detached cottage is set in an elevated, rural location, just five miles from Harlech and five miles from Porthmadog in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. Offering stunning panoramic views of the countryside down to the Tremadog Bay estuary, this charming Llandecwyn cottage is full of charm and character, with a welcoming woodburning stove and pretty, enclosed gardens. This cosy Llandecwyn cottage is an absolute delight with a comfy sitting room which enjoys superb views over the gardens down to the estuary, where you can watch the changing tides all day long. The kitchen is well equipped, with a breakfast table for further dining options, and upstairs are the bathroom and the bedrooms, both benefiting from far-reaching views. With Harlech and Porthmadog within five miles, this is an ideal touring base, but would equally suit walkers, writers, artists or outdoor enthusiasts due to its tranquil location, and with a small lake only 300 yards away, fishermen also benefit from its enviable position. A superb Llandecwyn cottage for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday all year round. Note: This cottage is next door to Ref 930206, together they sleep 6.
The scattered countryside hamlet of Llandecwyn is set in the middle of beautiful scenery, with mountains, lakes, hills and farmland all around. There is mountain biking and good walking from the hamlet, and the Snowdonia National Park awaits. The coastal town of Harlech, with its sandy beach, imposing castle and championship golf course, is only 7.5 miles away.
