Recently refurbished historic family farmhouse | Allt-Goch

Lovely rural cottage, perfect for a family break.

A great place to live and stay with friends or children
A location of absolute calm and tranquility. Kitchen and living room on one side, second living room on the other with views of the countryside and surrounding peaks, with afternoon and evening sun! All the equipment we needed was available. Nothing was missing. Comfortable rooms and cozy beds. A fantastic stay!
More wood to fuel the stove, but that’s still a minor detail.

We had a lovely time staying at Allt Goch. The locality was really stunning and had a completely away from it all feel to it. A real home from home, the house had everything we needed and it was great to have different indoor and outdoor places and spaces to sit We visited lots of places nearby including Portmerion, Porthmadog and Barmouth. The beaches at Harlech and Barmouth were simply stunning – the dogs loved them.

Exceptional location, really helpful owners, perfect stay!

Allt Goch is an absolutely stunning farmhouse with beautiful original features. It was very spacious for a large family and had everything we needed to hand. It was delightfully peaceful and the views of surrounding fields were enchanting. If you are looking for somewhere to get away from it all Allt Goch is the perfect place. Thanks for having us!

We had a lovely time and found the location and the well equipped property perfect for our family get away. For us the only drawback was the fencing around the garden, we didn’t feel it was secure enough to leave the dogs in the garden unattended due to sheep grazing on the adjacent land and ended up keeping them on a lead most of the time, with minimal investment the fencing could be made a lot more secure without detracting from the views making the experience better for everyone. Putting this aside we had a lovely time and would 100% recommend this property and would more than happily visit again. 🙂

We stayed at Allt-Goch for a week at the end of May 2025. Everything about the house was terrific. Located in beautiful North Wales, it was perfect for our family holiday. It won’t be long until we’re back.

Fabulous comfortable farmhouse in a beautiful location. Lovely well equipped kitchen made it a pleasure to cook. The weather was on our side , I mean who would have thought you could wear just a t shirt on the beach in November however we made use of the log burner on an evening & the dogs loved curling up in front of it after a day of exploring. Lovely walk from the house down to the waterfalls. Only down point is the garden although fully enclosed is not escape proof as the fence is jumpable if a dog so wished & possibly a smaller one could go underneath. Mine weren’t bothered as they were much more interested in posing on the old milk churn! but could be a problem for some. Overall the perfect place to chill & unwind & def one to return too

Four adults and two dogs had a wonderful two-week stay at Allt Goch.

The location is superb with the house being set between the mountains and the sea. It’s detached so it’s incredibly peaceful and very private. Yes, it’s a working farm, but we only saw one person during our two weeks and they were delightful and very interesting to chat to.

The house was very clean and comfortable and we all slept well in our respective beds. The kitchen was a dream for me to cook for my family as there was plenty of space, a good size fridge/freezer, and great cooker. The lounge is incredibly spacious and gave us all plenty of space to spread out.

We made use of the log burner on a day after returning for a wet walk. It was so cozy to sit around it together, dogs asleep at our feet, hot drinks flowing, chatting together and passing the time.

The sunsets were absolutely stunning to watch from the lounge/garden. The garden is secure for dogs/children but it’s not escape proof. We kept our dogs on lead the whole time for this reason, especially with it being a working farm. It wasn’t a bother for us, but a bigger dog could easily jump the fence or a small dog get through the fence gaps. A tall fence would only spoil the beautiful views so it really wasn’t an issue.

All in all it’s a great house and we enjoyed our stay so much that we’ve booked another two weeks for next year.

There are a few small things to feedback on but none of it affected our enjoyment of the property:

1. The internet signal was very poor. Upon looking around for the router I noticed it was in a cupboard next to the fuse box. I left it be but it’s worth a note to the owners that such a location can damage the router. Being shut away can also negatively affect the signal. This meant it was difficult to watch on demand TV, and trying to use mobile data on phones was tricky due to the location.

2. The thermostat was in a locked box. It’s set for an hour in the morning and evening There is an option to boost the duration the heating is on. However, I often found it too hot when the heating came on so would have liked to have been able to better manage the heating myself. I’ve rented lots of holiday lets and have never seen this setup before.

These are not big issues but if tweaked would certainly be a huge bonus.

My husband, myself, five young people and a dog spent a brilliant week at this beautiful farmhouse. There was loads of space for us all. The beds are all very comfortable, we used the two upstairs showers, which are both powerful and hot. The kitchen area is very well equipped and we did lots of cooking. It’s lovely to eat in the kitchen and have a lounge in the same space to all be together. There is another lounge with TV for even more relaxing!
We loved the views from nearly all the windows and being able to do long and short walks right from the front door.

Overall, a tastefully decorated and furnished, large, historic, warm farmhouse in stunning surroundings, with super helpful and responsive hosts. Would 100% recommend this property.
