The location is highly praised for its awe-inspiring views and peacefulness, with direct access to walks and proximity to beaches and towns. Some guests found it difficult to find in the dark, and the mucky ground by the gate was a drawback for a few, but the secluded and picturesque setting is a highlight for many.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of the quality of the beds and the cosiness of the living spaces. The presence of a log burner and underfloor heating are appreciated. A minor issue with a bed frame causing discomfort is noted, but overall, the comfort of the property is well-regarded.
The property is well-equipped with modern facilities, including a well-stocked kitchen and spacious bathrooms. However, some guests experienced issues with a shower holder and outdoor lighting, suggesting some areas could benefit from maintenance. The presence of games and books is a plus.
While many reviews mention the property's well-equipped nature and comfortable furnishings, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Tywyn 4 miles, Aberdovey 8 miles. Peniarth Ganol is a beautifully renovated farmhouse set close to a working farm, hidden within the magnificent Snowdonia National Park near the village of Llanegryn. A rural pet-friendly cottage boasting superb views of Craig yr Deryn and the Dysynni Valley, this spacious dwelling is the perfect base for large families or friends of eight eager to explore the North Wales countryside. As you make your way through the farmyard and pull up to the property, be sure to appreciate the character and charm of the stone-fronted walls and breath-taking surroundings. Grab your bags and head into the warmth of the utility room where you will find a shoe rack, washing machine and a traditional drying rack, great for kicking off your mud-splattered boots after a long country walk and throwing your dirty clothes in the washing machine before you enjoy a lovely warm shower in the nearby contemporary shower room. Once you're feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, make your way through to the traditional cottage kitchen with attractive oak worktops, striking original stone fireplace and a wide selection of appliances for you to use as you prepare a hearty lunch for the whole group. Serve up at the dining table as you discuss your plans for the evening and look forward to the many more action-packed days planned for the remainder of the holiday. Place the dishes in the dishwasher and clear the table before getting the fire going by placing a log on the woodburning stove whilst the others gather on the sofas to select a blockbuster movie for all to enjoy, from Netflix on the Smart TV. Later in the evening grab a board game from the many available and delight in some friendly competition around the dining table. Tuck the children up in the bunk bedroom and send them off to sleep with their favourite bedtime story before heading back downstairs and cracking open a bottle of wine. As the entertaining evening draws to a close, pick yourself up and carry yourself off to bed; there are three further bedrooms to choose from including a roomy king-size, a delightful double and a twin bedroom, all finished with charming oak furniture and crisp white bedding. Indulge in a morning soak in the beautiful roll top bath with claw feet that can be found in the first-floor bathroom, complete with an overhead shower, hand basin and WC. Play with the kids on the lawn on a warm summer's day whilst the chef of the group prepares a picnic, so you can bask in the sunshine as you dine alfresco. Perfectly located in the Dysynni Valley and a short drive to the start of the walk up Cadair Idris, these two popular locations are great for starting a family ramble. Start your day outdoors with a hike up Craig Yr Deryn and embrace the magnificent landscapes before descending back to the property and heading to the historical Castell y Bere. In Tywyn why not visit the small Talyllyn Railway, perfect for some steam train spotting or hop on the train at Fairbourne Railway for a scenic journey with picturesque views. Take the Barmouth Ferry over to Barmouth Harbour for a stroll along the beach before hitting up the local shops for a souvenir to remind you of your holiday and dining in one of the local cafes. Visit the popular seaside town of Aberdovey, a small village on the side of the River Dyfi in Gwynedd, a perfect spot for weekend coastal walks. Whether you're exploring the Slate Caverns in Harlech or learning to surf in Snowdonia, make your next holiday a memorable one at Peniarth Ganol.

Ne place foarte mult. Bucataria este complet utilata. Living ul este mare si spatios, cu un semineu tare dragut. Dormitoarele sunt ok, paturi si perne confortabile. Un singur minus : echipa de curatenie nu prea isi face treaba. Anul acesta de revelion am avut un mic incident, ni s a stricat cuptorul, dar proprietarii au fost foarte draguti si ne au trimis un cuptor mic de blat apoi ne au returnat 50% din suma platita.

Itâs incredibly quiet and peaceful, with stunning views of Bird Rock right from the property. Despite feeling secluded, itâs just a short drive to Tywyn, where you can find all the essentials. There are also some great pubs serving food and fantastic places to visit even closer by. The cottage is by far the most well-equipped weâve ever stayed inâyou could easily cook a full Christmas dinner here! Itâs the only place weâve visited that even has pint glasses, much to my husbandâs delight. The king-size bed is exceptionally comfortable as well. We loved it so much weâve already booked again for next year!
