We arrived on a beautiful sunny evening to the wonderful cottage of Y Felin. We quickly settled in and were able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the garden, something we enjoyed throughout our stay. The location is ideal and there are plenty of local provisions. We enjoyed the local walks and beach aswell as the option of going further afield. We would not hesitate to recommend and re-book in the future.

It’s difficult to find something original to say about this beautiful area and the cosy cottage. We enjoyed a trip across the 1879 toll bridge over the Mawddach Estuary at Penmaenpool and a meal and a pint in the George III inn watching the birdlife and the cyclists/walkers making best use of an old railway track path. The line was closed by Beeching and the walk featured in one of Julia Bradbury’s TV programmes along old railway-track paths. The Nantcol waterfalls are worth a visit and you don’t need to be an intrepid climber to see them! For photographers, you must go to Portmerion, relive the “Prisoner” and take a walk in the woods that overlook the estuary. However, go early if you want to avoid the hoards of people that flock in. We visited Bennar Beach a few times – the walkway is featured in the picture – not because it is much different to other stretches of fine sand-dunes along the coast but there are toilets by the car-park, and this is an important consideration at our age!

The four of us (2 couples) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very well presented and well equipped character cottage. A first time to North Wales for all of us, we were all blown away by the breathtaking scenary of Snowdonia and the coastline. Staying in a traditional old cottage was the perfect compliment to this and what a great and private location Y Felin is in. We were comfortably able to reach the towns on our list; Betwsy y Coed, Caernarfon, Conwy, Pwellhi and Barmouth and return home in the evening to enjoy the wonderful peace and tranquillity of Y Felin.
We were able to make good use of the woodburner to keep us warm and cosy, it also created a wonderful ambiance as we played various games. The furthest of two pubs was only a 10 minute walk which allowed us to nip out for a swift half or two and enjoy some Wesh hospitality.
Y Felin created for us a very relaxing and comfortable break, none of us would hesitate to stay there again.

Thanks to Gwion’s flexibility we had a last minute change from Nant to Y Felin. We thought the mile long walk from the village would be a bit too much due to the heavy snowfall. We have visited the area many times and done lots of things but our pre-Christmas trip this year was more of a chill out. The boys loved the grounds of the cottage and spent lots of time playing in the snow. At times we even ventured further afield to go sledging or walk past the station and the holiday park to the sea. It was great to see the contrast between snow, sand and sea at the coastline. The cottage was fantastic, a great base for an active holiday or a warm comfortable environment just for relaxing. The underfloor heating was a real plus for the time of year. We will no doubt be back but we are now going to be spoilt for choice as to where we stay. Was looking forward to staying in Nant but Y Felin was a great venue.

We stayed at y feline for a long weekend and had an absolutely lovely time our lurcher Santa loved the beautiful sandy beech especially playing in the very big sand dunes!! The views from the property were wonderful and the house itself was so comfortable and beautifully furnished with a fab log burner that kept us snug. Property is in a great location as there are plenty of local shops and pubs and Barmouth and Harlech only 10 minutes drive away, we also went to Snowdon for the day which is just under an hours drive. Can’t wait to return and explore more of this beautiful part of Wales.

A cosy and well appointed traditional Welsh cottage with superb nearby unspoilt beaches and walking country. The cottage gardens are enclosed and dog-friendly. Having previously stayed at Byrdir b&b (also owned by Gwion and Louise), the cottage completely met our best expectations – same warm welcome and attention to detail. Thank you for the loan of the book , I will return it next time around.

Lovely, peaceful cottage. Weather raining – no surprise there then, – picked mushrooms in local field.
ideal place to excercise one of our slightly older 4 legged companions.

We didn’t do much, as we just chilled out after a recent family bereavement.
Next time will be more adventurous.
Welcome goodies very much appreciated.
Recommend local butcher, should have bought more meat to take home! , not being a huge meat eater high praise indeed.

We stayed at Y Felin for the last few days of May and first few of June, and had a lovely time. After a rainy day around Harlech (great castle), we then had a wonderfully hot and sunny week. We had bikes with us, and loved cycling along the beach cycle route; those miles of clean, sandy beaches are beautiful. Having such easy access to both coastal and mountain scenery was ideal.

We stayed at Y Felin for the last week in May 2010 and had a fantastic time. The sun was out and it was lovely and warm all week. The cottage was ideal for us ( 2 adults), with sea views from the bedrooms and a lovely garden for relaxing and enjoying an evening glass of wine in. The cottage had all the facilities we needed for the week and was in a good location .The garden was great for our Jack Russell as it was plenty big enough for him to run about in but also secure . The walk to the beach from the cottage is nice and we saw a great sunset . There is a pub by the railway crossing on the walk back to the cottage which does good food for supper. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Y Felin especially to those with a four legged family member. The booking process was easy and emails were answered promptly. Thank you.
