We’ve spent Christmas at the cottage and it was perfect! It was very cosy and spacious, very well equiped kitchen, the playroom had loads of toys for the kids and they’ve spent most of the time there. It is very remote but it was exactly what we wanted. Would deffinitely recommend it!

We had a lovely stay over new year. The cottage was amazing, very nice, quiet, remote location with beautiful scenery for 360 degrees around. Drive was generally ok although the track coming down to the house was very bumpy so might not suit a lower car. The bread, eggs and wine were much appreciated! Cottage was beautiful inside and out and managed to withstand the stormy weather (was a very cosy place to hole up!)

A perfect peaceful place to catch up with friends in a stunning country setting. The house is very remote but has enough bedrooms and living spaces for two families, so staying home together in a big cosy space made for a perfect relaxing getaway.
Mohammed
Great place to stay, kids especially enjoyed the play room. Bit difficult to find the place but the host was very helpful with instructions.

Nothing but great memories – to the hosts – thank you so much especially for the lovely welcome pack. To anyone looking to rent – this is where you need to book ! You will not regret it !

A beautiful farmhouse perfect for our mini break away with the grandparents in tow. The house was well equipped, very warm, easy to check in and super comfortable beds. My 3 boys all had a lovely time exploring the house, making use of the play room and watching the sheep and cows from the windows. My eldest is autistic and loved how close we got to the wind turbines too! The only real downside for us was quite how long the farm track to access the house was. We have a large 7-seat family car that isn’t a 4×4 which meant the drive felt somewhat precarious. But the pay off was the quiet and isolation which was fab! So just something to be aware of if you don’t have a car with a good floor height clearance.

We had a fantastic stay, the perfect base for our mountain biking weekend. Clean, tidy, beautiful location. Loads of space which for the 5 of us and all our gear was ideal! Will definitely rebook when we next visit the area.
Saqib
A lovely peaceful location. Couldn’t recommend enough for a private trip surrounded by nature. The Farmhouse was beautifully stocked and furnished:) 5 stars, would definitely recommend.

A lovely farmhouse in a remote location. Perfect for a peaceful private getaway.
Everything was left clean and ready for us and the house was well stocked and furnished 🙂

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful farmhouse, so full of character, and with views across the hills. Very well equipped and thoughtfully restored.
Isabel
We absolutely loved staying here, very private and peaceful. We all come from Manchester, Sheffield and London so it was lovely to be so remote in the countryside. The cottage was very clean and felt very homely. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Great stay, very secluded and private. Excellent host

We were a family party of 7 who very much enjoyed our stay at Cwmain Cottage.
We did however have a few snags. The free view box in the living room was broken (a couple of members of the party tried to tune it in to no avail) and the sofa felt damp, I suspect if the fire in the living room was lit this would have helped, but in July it was much too warm to light the fire in the evening. The oven needed a clean, as did some of the oven trays, which looked like they’d been used and put away by previous guests without having been cleaned terribly well. The grout and filter in the en suite shower also needed a clean.
All that being said, the house was spacious, well designed and beautifully and sympathetically decorated. It was exceptionally well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a short break, for all ages of guests. The beds were comfortable.
The property is remote and down a stone farm track with two gates that need opening and closing behind you. We enjoyed the location, but you do need to drive carefully down the track, particularly if you have a lower set car. There are plenty of places to visit only a short drive away from the cottage.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Isabel Hughes
We absolutely loved staying in your cottage. When we arrived, the cottage was very clean and felt very homely. We loved how remote it is, we all lived across Manchester, Sheffield and London so it was lovely to spend time in the countryside and have peace and quiet. Commuting to other areas was easy too as it was only 20 mins away. Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!
Ayesha Mehr
Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings. Cannot recommend enough. Fully equipped house with loads of space for a big party. A very helpful and kind host, nothing more you can ask of. Will definitely come again.
Jagjit Singh
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cwmain cottage last weekend. We were a group of 10 including three kids. Kids enojyed the play room and the outdoors too. Rooms were clean, beds were very comfortable, kitchen and utility room are great. Scenic views at the door step. Convenient location too for exploring surrounding areas such as Betws-y-Coed, Bala and Ogwen Valley. On our last day, we witnessed the Sheep shearing in the barn opposite and as kids never saw it before, they enjoyed it. Idyllic overall. Certain that we will plan another visit next year. Thank you so much.
Roxy
We really enjoyed our stay at Cwmain farmhouse cottage. It was perfect for two families and although very spacious, it was very cosy and had absolutely everything you could need – a home away from home. I also cannot rate the beds highly enough, we all slept so incredibly well!!! Perfect for a rural and peaceful escape in the countryside. Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back someday.
Stuart Toombs
Cwmain is a beautiful farmhouse. Very comfortable. It has everything needed for a short or long stay. It’s in the middle of stunning countryside and is very remote.
Yash Mukul
As anticipated from the pics and videos, the farmhouse was gorgeous both in location as well as interior setup. The only (and daily) niggle was the half mile or so of gravel/mud road which we had to carefully tread on with our hatchbacks – not sure it was advertised.
Other than that, the accomodation itself was very thoughtfully and tastefully prepped and we had a wonderful time! Many Thanks!

Lovely rural farm house which my whole family stayed in. Enough space for all of us. The kids especially loved the toy room, couldn’t get them out of there at times, this was a very nice touch and good use of the space that the house has

A beautiful farmhouse in a stunning location; peaceful and rural. The decor is great and all the rooms have character and charm. Really well equipped kitchen and lots of space for the 8 of us. No need for the play room for our group but would definitely be great for young families. we had a fantastic stay, helped by the gorgeous sunshine. Only downside was the difficulty unlocking the door with the key provided as it took some wriggling and a bit of strength, but otherwise, perfect.

We loved it! Our stay was amazing. We were 2 families in this property. Very comfortable. Enough room for all of us (4 adults and 5 kids). The kitchen was great. The play room was really nice for the kids. Reduced screen time 🙂 We really had a fantastic time. Thank you!!

What a fantastic family accommodating cottage. We were a party of 9 adults celebrating a 60th birthday. Had a fantastic 3 nights. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything thought of and the larder was excellent for keeping the refreshments in and the cake🍾🥂 🎂 The standard of furnishings and every room including bathrooms was perfect… incl towels and bedding. Very secluded and down a long large stoned drive with lots of sheep and 2 gates to open each time you go out but we managed it -although very slowly. Beautiful views and sunsets and no neighbours to upset! We will certainly be going again thank you so much 👏🏼

We (2 families of 4) had a great stay in this beautiful and spacious farmhouse not far from Bala, and only 50 minutes from Snowdon.
It was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the surrounding is beautiful and quiet.
Thx for having us!

very private cottage which was brilliant for us. a bit tricky to get to but instructions provided are very clear. perfect for a family trip. we had 3 young children who were easily entertained thanks to the playroom full of toys! plenty of field space to run around. lovely fires and cosy rooms and fully equipped kitchen. would have liked to have seen some basics like tea bags and coffee provided but not a major issue and certainly wouldn’t stop us from booking again. i would recommend the miniature steam railway which we got to Bala for a short day trip.

Lovely cottage in a nice remote location. It was a bit of an adventure finding the cottage in the dark, but all instructions sent were accurate and detailed. The cottage has a great lay out for families with young kids. The kids playroom is large and well equipped. There is plenty of space to relax and plenty to do inside and out.

Lovely large house, kids enjoyed all the toys and books. Warm and cosy for a December weekend away. Very helpful host because my parents car needed assistance as the battery went flat and they helped re-start it. Would come back

Our family just had the most wonderful holiday in Cwmain. It is in the middle of nowhere which suited us poor city dwellers down to the ground. The house has everything we could wish for and the joy of quiet surroundings with only the sound of the rustling leaves, birds and sheep was bliss. Our 6 year old loved the toyroom and discovered the joy of a 500 piece puzzle and learning to play chess which was a real bonus. Our teens and young adults had an excellent internet connection for gaming and watching when the weather wasn’t up to scratch (we were very lucky with the weather mostly!). All in all this holiday home was a perfect location to explore the incredible scenery around us. Such beautiful hiking to be had. Thank you Fiona (owner of the property) for your prompt answers to our questions.
Mark Harris
Really lovely cottage, full of character, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Perfect for two families to share. We had a lovely time exploring the local reservoirs, lakes and hillsides as well as spending many happy hours in a house well set up for children.

The holiday cottage is lovely and has every amenity you could want. The cottage is a little remote but the plus side to this is that you have the most amazing views. We would definitely recvomend the cottage. One thing to be noted is the long road down to the farm which you need to take slowly. We had an amazing time and visited lots of places which were within half to 1 hour away.

A wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage! As a large group, we really appreciated the excellent facilities, including a huge fridge, lots of freezer space, high quality washing machine and dryer, plenty of bathrooms/toilets and fantastic variety of toys and books. We loved the breathtaking views and amazing variety of scenery only a short walk/drive away. The owners were really helpful, even posting an item to us that we had left behind. Many thanks! Definitely recommend this lovely home away from home.

We had a lovely few days are Cwmein, lovely cottage in glorious countryside. Plenty of space and really lovely decor throughout. We climbed Snowdon and walked near Bala lake & visited Port Merion. Lovely remote spot as a change from lockdown, thanks.

Lovely cottage – nice rooms. Good location (be warned it is 10 mins drive down a very long a slow driveway beyond the postcode). very remote which is great. It is not clear how private it is – and it is very private. Lovely. We saw a farmer twice and that was it. The only criticism is that we went for a working week away (with colleagues) and the broadband was not useable. We ended up using 4G from our phones instead (great phone signal) but this cost us money. SO maybe just don’t expect the broadband to be good enough to use properly.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. It is ideal for children with a safe environment for them to explore freely. We stayed here as 3 family groups coming together for a celebration and it provided a perfect set up for this.
Would thoroughly recommend the white water rafting experience nearby – expensive but awesome!

We stayed at Cwmain over Feb half term. It was perfect for 2 families and plenty of space for everyone. Beautifully decorated and really well equipped, the kids loved the playroom and we had everything we needed. Loved that the location was slightly remote, tucked away in the hills with lovely views but it was so easy to access all the best bits of Snowdonia. We enjoyed amazing weather for February and would like to return! Thank you.

Just returned from an amazing week at Cwmain. The house and setting is just beautiful. It had everything we needed, playroom for the kids, stunning bedrooms, games and above all it felt like the ultimate getaway. Far enough away from civilisation yet close enough to drive to shops and for days out. We loved the board games, full 4g signal for the kids tablets and sitting reading bedtime stories in the huge windowsills. We are definitely going to return and can’t wait. Thank you for a great week x

We have just come back from a long weekend at Cwmain with a group of eight friends, it is the perfect place for a group holiday. The house is spacious and beautifully finished and felt like a home immediately. Although the description says that it’s on a working farm, we never heard or saw anyone, it was the perfect quiet getaway. It’s a great location for exploring the area, you’re not far from so many stunning places. And if there’s a rainy day, what a great excuse to stay in front of the fire or cook up big meals in that lovely well equipped kitchen. I would love to come back for another stay…soon!

We really enjoyed our long weekend at Cwmain. It is in such a peaceful and tranquil location, with beautiful views across green fields filled with sheep and lambs. The cottage is furnished and decorated to a high standard, with a dedicated playroom to keep the younger ones (and some of the older ones!) entertained.

We stayed in Cwmain over Easter. We stayed there for three nights and four days. It was wonderful. The cottage was to the highest standard, all facilities were top class. Child room with the trampoline outside was awesome, my child of 4 years enjoyed it to the core. There were plenty for adults to like Barbecue, plenty of space to play cricket and lot of board games inside the house. The owner Fiona was very welcoming and she called us to ensure everything was alright. Will definitely book again.

Superb house. Was perfect for two families with young children. Plenty of room and accommodation for eight, with spare beds! Located in a lovely remote setting of rolling farm land, it was still easy to get to places. Sainsbury’s delivered without a problem.
Fantastic stay overall (agreed by all) and will be booking again!

We had a wonderful stay at Cwmain this summer. The house is in the most stunning location and all the rooms have been done up to a very high standard. The house is perfect for both adults and children, it even has a playroom complete with toys for all ages as well as a high chair and travel cot. There are lots of activities nearby to entertain the children and they all seemed to enjoy the week as much as we did!

Lovely house with everything you could need for a country break. We were lucky enough to have a sunny week and even had a family barbecue.
The final drive down was interesting with lambs keen to accompany you.
The kitchen was spacious and well equipped and all the rooms were finished to a very high standard.
Highly recommended.

Stayed in Cwmain with a group of girlfriends to celebrate my 50th birthday. What can I say it was amazing. Everything is of a very high standard. They provide everything you would ever need.
The weather was fab so sat and took in the view for hours.
Only thing I would say is that it is a little scare drive down the last lane. You need to take it VERY slowly. But the remoteness adds to the charm.
Fiona was lovely and welcoming.
WILL definitely be returning.

We celebrated our Daughter’s 18th Birthday at this beautiful cottage with our family and had a lovely weekend.. The wood burners are a wonderful feature and the cottage in general was outstanding.. We even had snow! Much to the excitement of our 3 year old son and nephews, beautiful views as well.. We didn’t want to leave..

Just to re-iterate what Alex has said. The house is superb, a very well thought out conversion, very tasteful, with beautiful bedrooms, lovely lounge and dining room and logs fires. Kitchen extremely well equipped. I would not hesitate to recommend the house, it was wonderful. We were lucky to have lovely weather, with the most amazing sunrise bathing the front rooms of the house in orange, fab, we will be back!

We spent a week in Cwmain recently. The farmhouse is just as described: beautifully refurbished and welcoming, with stunning views. It is equipped with every thing necessary for a comfortable stay. We particularly liked the set up of the bedrooms which provides maximum privacy.
The information pack we were given was most helpful.
We found the agency staff and the owner very approachable.
I would recommend Cwmain to anybody who wants peace and tranquility in an idyllic setting.
We would not hesitate to spend another holiday at Cwmain.

What a wonderful place! We had a brilliant time at Cwmain. It is a very special place, with spectacular views, luxurious comfort and yet a wonderful, warm homeliness. We totally loved it. The walking, fishing and local activities were many and varied, and we can’t ever see ourselves running out of things to do. I highly recommend this gorgeous house – best place I’ve stayed in for many, many years.

I have a feeling we will be returning to the Cwmain Cottage again!
