Cottages
Y Felin
Y Felin is in the rural village of Dyffryn Ardudwy in Snowdonia, half way between Harlech and Barmouth on the Cambrian Coast road. A short grassy drive leads up to a private but sunny garden. (It never rains in Wales, honest!) Slate stepping stones guide you to the front door of this beautiful, typically asymmetrical, 17th century stone cottage. Open the door and step onto the warm slates which cover... [Read more about this property...]

Llys Bennar
As we pushed past a fragrant camellia and crossed over a little stone bridge to get to the front door, we knew that Llys Bennar was going to be a bit special. An oak panelled hall way complete with antique chair and expensive looking pictures leads off to a well equipped kitchen which is filled with the mouth-watering smell of freshly baked bread, a much appreciated welcome gift from the owners, Sue...

Dolcymerau
We turned right in Llanbedr, (there’s only one right turn in the village, so not even I could get confused there) and wound our way up towards the picturesque Cwm Nantcol, a valley sitting between the Rhinog Mountains. The lane eventually led us to a peaceful courtyard area where Dolcymerau was set. It was springtime when we visited, the sun was shining, crocuses and daffodils were in full bloom...

Moelfre
Moelfre, named after the mountain behind the cottage, is a one bedroom barn conversion on a working welsh hill farm. It’s difficult for me to be objective when describing Moelfre as it’s one of the two self catering cottages that we let out ourselves here at Byrdir. But I hope you’ll agree when I say they’re nicely furnished and decorated. We’re certainly very proud with the way... [Read more about this property...]

Caerffynnon
Caerffynnon, a traditional stone built farmhouse, sits high above the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy and the beautiful Cambrian coast line. The cottage is surrounded by green fields on all sides and only a short drive to the beach. We were lucky enough to be there at shearing time. Aled and Tom worked hard on a hot summer’s day to relinquish all the sheep of their heavy woolen coats. I don’t think... [Read more about this property...]

Gilfach Goch
Gilfach Goch is one of the nicest barn conversions we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Roger and Lesley have done a fantastic job of transforming their 400 year old barn into a luxury holiday cottage.

Tasteful furniture and all the facilities you could wish for, serve testament to their attention to... [Read more about this property...]

And it’s been done very well. The slate floors, original exposed beams and exposed stonework ensure ensures that the character of this building remains. There are modern features of course. The slate floor is gently warmed by... [Read more about this property...]

Pant-Golau
Pant-Golau is Welsh for sunny or bright valley. And it certainly was the day we visited. This newly refurbished house is on the end of a charming little row of three cottages in a little hamlet called Pensarn. But the country setting belies what is quite a posh and modern property inside. Chic, I think, would be the right word. There’s a thoroughly modern kitchen-diner with all the facilities you...

Aweldyfi
My happy childhood holiday memories of sandy chips and wooden forks meant I really liked Aberdyfi from the minute we arrived. The wooden forks have been replaced by blue plastic ones but my chips drenched in vinegar tasted every bit as good. Add the harbour sounds and fresh sea and we all got that real ‘holiday’ feeling straight away. I should talk about the house. First of all, it’s in a great... [Read more about this property...]
