Guests say

Guests have had a delightful experience at Ysgubor, praising the warm hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Evans and the property's tranquil location with stunning views. The cottage's charm, spaciousness, and amenities like the hot tub and games room are recurrent highlights. While some guests noted areas for improvement, the overall sentiment is one of satisfaction and a desire to return.

Most guests found the property to be comfortable and well-equipped, though a few mentioned it could benefit from a deeper clean and tidier cupboards. The positive remarks suggest good general cleanliness, but the minor criticisms slightly affect the score.

The location is consistently lauded for its beautiful scenery and tranquility, with many guests appreciating the peaceful setting and proximity to walking areas. The positive feedback indicates a high level of satisfaction with the location.

The comfort of the cottage is generally praised, especially the communal areas and the ample space provided. However, some guests mentioned that certain beds were uncomfortable and that some rooms could be improved, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities like the hot tub, games room, and kitchen are well-received, but there are several mentions of the need for updates and maintenance. The hot tub's popularity boosts the score, but the maintenance issues cannot be overlooked.

While the reviews reflect the owners' hospitality and the property's provision of games and books, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

About this property

Tucked away on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd, is this stunning five-bedroom farmhouse Ysgubor. Enjoying a superb location within the breath-taking Snowdonia National Park, situated on a 500-acre hill working organic farm and surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain scenery, Ysgubor is a fantastic dog-friendly choice for couples, friends and families to escape to. The interior boasts a wealth of character and original features, including oak beams, exposed stonework, an inglenook fireplace and slate flagged floors, it is hard not to feel right at home! The property benefits from several off-road parking spaces, an enclosed rear garden where you can fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco with a mountain backdrop, and an enclosed front garden with furniture and bubbling hot tub, perfect for sinking back among the bubbles with a panoramic view! On the ground floor, the chef of the group will have all they need to conjure up delicious feasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, ready to enjoy at the dining table in front of the woodburning stove as you toast to a memorable getaway. After dinner, curl up with a good book in the snug for two, enjoy relaxing with loved ones in the large sitting room in front of a much-loved film on the TV, as your pooches snuggle up in front of the crackling woodburning stove, or head through to the games room to enjoy a game of pool. Completing the ground floor is a lovely double bedroom served by a shower room, ideal for those with limited mobility.

    Lovely time had would totally recommend this property and owners

  • Janet

    Could do with a good make over. Had a clean everything before use in cupboards as was covered in previous occupants food. Although fridge's appeared to work they they had a strange smell about them. Place definitely left cleaner when we left. Large bedroom off the kitchen was not suitable for anyone over 5ft 5inches due to low door frame. Other large bedroom was difficult to sleep in due to no blind up at sky light window which shone down onto bed early morning. Games room could have had more games to keep children happy. Distance from anywhere that was of interest was generally an hour and a half away. Hot tub lovely. Owners lovely to speak to.

    We enjoyed our stay, plenty of room for all of us. We were a party of 6 adults, 5 teenagers and two dogs. Location is perfect for exploring the area. Short drive to Dolgellau and plenty of walks from the house.
