We had a wonderful stay in Cwm Mawr. The cozy farmhouse made us feel at home right away. With it’s stunning views of the Welsh mountains Cwm Mawr is a very special place. Our hosts, the Griffith family, were super nice and always helpful.

Very good – agree with all the other reviews – great location to enjoy both the hills and the sea. Highly recommend Beddgelert and its surrounding hills and the Ty Coch Inn near Nefyn.

What a beautiful property! When we arrived there was a wonderful gift package, the house was nice and warm and inviting and everything was in place for a fabulous 3 weeks. It was on the cooler side for the time of year, but that did not stop us from enjoying everything the area had to offer. We took walks from the house every day and became quite familiar with the area. The beds are comfy, the kitchen was so big that the 4 of us could really stretch our legs. It was such a delight to wake up every morning and open the curtains and enjoy the 600 sheep that were all around us. Thank you Non and Lolo for welcoming us into your home. I hope we will return some day.

The cottage was lovely with amazing views, clean and cosy Welcome pack was very appreciated. Lots of room and a very child/ dog friendly garden. the only thing we felt was needed was more glasses, plenty of wine glasses only 4 tumblers. A drying rack for dishes would also be handy. Overall a wonderful cottage ,we would highly recommend it.

Cwm Mawr in a lovely quiet location. Long track to get there but you can see any vehicles on the road from a long way off. Great for walking. Goat Inn at Bryncir a great new find.

A wonderful stay at this lovely cosy cottage. It is well equipped and very comfortable. We loved sitting in the sun room with a cup of tea watching the view! The aga gives a wonderful ambient heat and ensures the cottage never feels chilly, there is an additional boiler to top up on cold days(we rarely used it) and an open fire to light – which we loved! The views are fabulous and the setting so peaceful – just the bleating of lambs as company! We were fortunate to have an Osprey flying above us when in the garden one morning. It was great that there was no WiFi as it meant we played board games! Tesco’s deliver to the cottage it is great to do an order before arrival – we thoroughly enjoyed the welsh cakes and wine left as a welcome whilst we waited for the order! The younger members enjoyed the walk down to Tremadog for drinks and the Y Swgar restaurant is wonderful when you don’t fancy cooking! It is a great base for exploring Snowdonia and the coast. A wonderful stay in a wonderful location – thank you!

Cosy farmhouse in a beautiful location. Did a couple of walks straight from the property and the higher peaks are a short drive away. The farmhouse is nicely decorated, warm and peaceful. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Great little farmhouse, perched on top of one of the UK’s best climbing cliff! We stayed here a few years ago and loved it. We returned with 2 four year olds and baby and loved it even more!
So much space for the kids to run around, and great for them to see all the farm animals. There are some stunning beaches just nearby and you’re a stone’s throw from the mountains of Snowdonia inland.
The cottage is very comfortable and has a lovely log burner. There was a wet room added since our first stay, finished to a high standard and perfect for washing down Sandy kids after a day On the beach!
The only thing we could have maybe done with is Wi-Fi, although the 4G signal was good.
We absolutely love this place and we will be back again!

A lovely old farm house with lots of character. The views are stunning.
We had an amazing two week family holiday. The owners were very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Wow! What a stunning location this cottage boasts! We loved the views of farmland, wild flower meadows, hills, mountains and estuary. The cottage itself is spacious and nicely furnished, the large kitchen and utility room a godsend with all we needed supplied. The lounge and bedrooms are comfy, and the little sun room looking out to Harlech a bonus. We had a week of beautiful sunshine but I imagine Cwm Mawr would be appealing and amenable even when weather is wet or cold – a great place to unwind, regardless. The garden is safe for dogs and there are walks through meadows and farmland from the doorstep. Our Gordon Setter had a whale of a time. The remoteness of the property was a delight yet shops and other amenities just minutes away by car. The welcome gifts from the owners were much appreciated. Just a couple of heads-ups for anyone going – take towels as there were only a few supplied and be prepared for one bedroom to be very warm if weather is good as it does not have an openable window. Fridge is quite small. Would definitely recommend this place to all and hope to return myself.

We had a fantastic stay at the end of May – the weather helped but the location would have made it stunning regardless – if remote and beautiful is what you’re after this is the one for you. Cosy cottage in a Welsh wilderness – lovely! Helpful & friendly owners too – thanks Non & Iolo xx

Just got home from a lovely week at Cwm Mawr. Weather fantastic fortunately but the place would be great in any weather. So peaceful. Discovered Golden Fleece in Tremadoc – great place for pub food. Da iawn!

Booked for a girlie weekend for four nights in November.
The house was really lovely, very comfortable and generously proportioned with amazing views.
A great place to bring a well-behaved dog, having a securely fenced garden.(Surrounded by fields with sheep and cattle).
We were lucky with the weather and had a very relaxing long weekend pottering on the local beaches, sitting in front of the fire and enjoying meals in the lovely big well-equipped kitchen made warm and homely by the Aga. The property is quite isolated and up a long track, at 4pm in November (when you’re allowed in) it is starting to get dark and after a longish journey to get there we didn’t really want to go straight out again in search of wood.
I would stay there again.

Amazing, remote feeling location but still only 10mins from a town. Made a really good base for a long weekend in North Wales.
The cottage was nice with plenty of space for 6 of us.
Very nice welcome pack which was appreciated.

The most peaceful place I’ve found. Stayed on the 6th may for two weeks. Loads to do in the area and walks literally just out the gate.
I couldn’t ask more from the cottage or the owners. Plenty of space for my Labrador to to stretch out and enjoy herself watching the lambs in the field behind the cottage.

Fantastic cottage in a awesome location with great views and plenty of dog walking places, would definitely consider booking again, only gripe was web site said there was a high chair but there wasn’t.

We stayed for a week from September 2nd, 2016.
This is a comfortable, roomy farmhouse which was quiet and peaceful for most of the time. Visitors with keen hearing, however, may wish to check the date of the annual ‘Festival No.6’ gathering at nearby Portmeirion which was clearly audible for three nights.
Apart from that irritation we enjoyed our stay …

We stayed in June 2016 for 1 week.
Positives – Beautiful location and wonderful views -large,delightful old fashioned cottage-comfortable bed- plenty of places to visit.Eating a meal outside on a sunny day is a delight.Peaceful and remote from other properties.
Slight negatives -Iolo had to turn the aga off because of the smell (fumes or fuel?),no soap was provided in the upstairs bathroom,no towel for the kitchen or downstairs cloakroom but these are really minor problems that did not detract from the pleasure of staying.

We had a fantastic week at Cwm Mawr-the farmhouse itself is roomy and comfortable and is in the most astonishingly beautiful position as long as you don’t want to do a lot of shopping on foot! We were lucky enough to have a heatwave all week – there are plenty of walks on the doorstep and it’s an ideal base for exploration, including the narrow gauge steam trains. We had a fantastic week

An amazing rural farmhouse, very comfortable with fantastic views, if you like peace and quiet this is the property for you. A must is a visit to Newborough Forest & Beach Anglesey, great mountain bike paths, lovely beach, dog friendly, BBQ & Picnic areas.

I enjoyed a lovely long weekend in this cottage during a rainy November weekend. The cottage is in an excellent location – remote with great views. The property itself is well cared for and the log fire and aga are big plus points as they keep the house so warm and cosy. Very spacious and a very comfy bed.

We enjoyed a peaceful and cosy 4 days over new year 2015 despite the wind and rain. The views are amazing, the walk into Tremadog manageable by us and our two children (8 & 10). The house is warm and comfortable and offers a great layout for a family. Lots to do locally and Porthmadog has all the shops you need. A great place to unwind.

Lovely location and cottage.
Comments from previous visitors are a true reflection of the property.
The cottage is very cosy,even in blustery November conditions! We enjoyed a lovely Sunday Lunch at The Moorings in Borth-Y-Gest, its very popular so would recommend booking!

We enjoyed a long weekend in October 2015. The farmhouse is very comfortable, and spacious for 6 adults and a toddler. The location is very peaceful, with stunning views and only 10/15 mins from shops, restaurants etc.
We enjoyed days out at local attractions and a meal at the Golden Fleece Inn in Tremadog.
Would love to go back.

We stayed from the 6th of June 2015 for one week.
Stunning location, lovely farmhouse especially having the Aga/Rayburn warmth in the kitchen. Lovely big fenced of lawn for the dog to run and play in. The track is quite long, but the view from the property makes up for it. Lots to do in the area. Had a lovely meal in Y Sgwâr restaurant in Tremadog.
Another of Dioni properties on our list to go back to.☺

“We stayed Monday 25th May 2015 for 5 nights. A lovely warm farmhouse, high up overlooking the sea. Comfortable beds, beautiful inglenook fire, stunning views.
The road is part track but easily navigated, and you are reasonably close to local amenities, considering the peaceful isolation. There is a lovely bakery in Porthmadog, The Big Rock Cafe, serving delightful cakes and the Butternut Squash Homity Pies were gorgeous. Plenty to do in the area and lots of information thoughtfully left by the owners.
Great fun and a relaxing break.
