Short February Half Term break

We had a cosy time in this cottage, which was good as the weather was pretty rubbish. We couldn't enjoy the lovely views until late each day as we were envelopped in thick fog. However, it was a perfect hideaway and we enjoyed the log fire. Plenty of exploring in the area but you need a sturdy car to get about!

Peaceful location near Snowdonia with a beautiful view

My partner and I stayed for 4 nights and loved it! It was a good location for exploring the castles in Northern Wales as well as Snowdonia National Park. It rained part of our trip but we were able to watch two beautiful sunsets from the house and walk by the sheep farms that are all around. The hosts were great with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend for a peaceful stay.

Fantastic little cottage with wonderful garden and views

Wonderful old cottage up on a hill with magnificent views of the valley below and the coast! We took our dog for a little New Year walking holiday and we loved the place. Has everything you need including a lovely roaring fire, the bedrooms warm and cosy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and the north Wales coastline. The owners were very communicative and attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended!

Perfect location for our family get together

We wanted somewhere rural and quiet and the location of Play Hafod was a pleasant surprise when we arrived. The cottage and garden are immaculately maintained with everything needed for any length of stay. Warm and cosy on wet days and amazing views and sunsets in good weather. Very well located for short journeys into the Llyn peninsula or Snowdonia but tempting to get back early to the cottage and enjoy the view and facilities provided. Some good walks from the front door.

Beautiful Rural Cottage

Beautiful cottage, spectacular scenery (when the weather is clear) Our weather wasn't great (storm Katherine!!) so low cloud obscured the view in the mornings. Gorgeous location, we met the hosts and they are lovely. Lots of places to visit. I have mobility issues otherwise a walk up on the hills would have been wonderful. Very well equipped and we would definitely come back.

Fantastic start to 2023

Booked the cottage for a long New Year weekend and hoped it would be good. Everything about the cottage was above our expectations. Hosts fantastic communications and welcome, property stunning location, property totally fantastic facilities and utterly spotless, great little welcome pack, superb location for Snowdonia, Criccieth, Pwllheli, Carnarvon. To be honest did not need a trip out log burner on, views of the bays utterly great. You may guess we really loved this place and would 100% suggest you try it.

Plas Hafod

The cottage was well laid out and very clean in a fantastic location. On arrival the owner had a bag of rubbish to pick up from property as we turned up a little early. This was no problem and we were made very welcome with reassurance if we needed anything it would be dealt with quickly. A small welcome package was a very nice touch and with the sunsets and star gazing being some of the best we have seen it won't be long before we go back again. Thank you for such a fantastic break away.

Tolles Cottage in Panoramalage

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus, in dem wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt haben. Sehr schöne Schlafzimmer mit super Betten sowie eine bestens ausgestattete Küche. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die absolut ruhige Lage auf einer Anhöhe inmitten von Wiesen war ein Traum und ist für Naturliebhaber sehr zu empfehlen. Siwsan und Neil waren sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir würden jederzeit gern wiederkommen. Thank you very much for these perfect holidays in your lovely cottage!

Plas Hafod - a gem!

We had a fantastic 4 nights at Plas Hafod. The cottage is beautifully remote yet easy to find with Siwsan’s expert directions! The property itself was immaculately clean and well appointed and we immediately felt at ease, even Ted our 3 year old terrier loved it! The garden is secure and he enjoyed exploring it while we took in the jaw dropping views. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise and kept us going with treats for the duration of our stay! Great walks on the doorstep and so much to do and see within half an hour’s drive. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone thinking of staying in the foothills of Snowdonia. We’re already checking diaries to see when we can return! Thank you Siwsan and Neil!

Excellent property, in the hills surrounded by pure country side. Lovely setting and views. Property itself was excellent condition, modern living quarters with new amenities with stunning views. Garden was fenced in so dogs had free roam there. Only spent a few days here but the whole family will be returning again in the future

This place is truly stunning. The accomodation is immaculate, the hosts are very friendly and on site if you need them. You can walk straight up on to one of the best ridge walks in Snowdonia from the front door one way, and have amazing sea views with stunning sun sets the other. We will be back for sure.
