Self Catering Accommodation on a Working Farm | Faeldre

A lovely quiet place to stay, we took my parents and Aunt for the weekend. The cottage was beautifully decorated very clean and had everything we needed, with a lovely view across the fields to the sea. Lovely food in the Victoria Inn just up the road, Barmouth is close by which has a lovely beach and seafront. Hope to return again.

Faeldre is highly recommended. One of the best holiday homes we have stayed in! It\’s been converted to a high standard, is spacious enough for 5, extremely clean and well equipped. Set on a working farm (sheep & non-milking cows) in a beautiful rural location with fantastic views from the patio of the sun setting over the Llyn Peninsula. The property is close to both Barmouth and Harlech and an easy drive to great places for eating out including Ysgethin Inn, Talybont and the cafe balcony at Harlech castle (delicious cakes). Donna and the Thomas family are lovely, very welcoming and just next door if needed. Faeldre benefits from 2 large bathrooms, comfortable lounge and bedrooms, great kitchen, picture windows and the added bonus of a field where children can play safely. Smaller separate 2 person property Gegin-Faeldre is just behind – perfect.

This was our second stay at Faeldre. It is a beautiful cottage in a great location with stunning views and hospitable owners on hand to help if needed. The beaches in this area are hard to beat, it’s great walking territory and there are plenty of places to visit within easy driving distance, Portmeirion being a favourite of ours. Can highly recommend Faeldre for a relaxing break.

My wife and I had a lovely week’s stay at Faeldre. The accommodation had been beautifully converted and there was everything a family could need, including two shower rooms! The kitchen had been modernised to a high standard and the owners were very welcoming. It’s location is quite superb with views over farmland to the sea. Also views towards the Llyn Peninsula. In the evening there are stunning sunset views as the sun sinks behind the Llyn. Although this is a working farm it is a quiet location, away from the hustle and bustle of town/ city life. It is a great location to explore the broader western and north western coastline of Wales or visit Snowdonia if you do not mind crowds!! Highly recommended.

Faeldre exceeded our expectations! Beautifully clean and very well presented. Good quality kitchen and bathrooms – all in all 1st class accommodation in a beautiful rural unspoilt location.

Just what the doctor ordered! Fantastic cottage with amazing views. The children absolutely loved being on the farm and seeing the animals on their doorstep. Clean, quiet and modern cottage which was well equipped. Great location in between Barmouth and Harlech. Would love to return!

fantastic cottage, beautiful scenery, lovely family, recommend the cottage, 5 star

We had a wonderful stay at Faeldre. It was immaculately clean, well equipped and very well positioned between the amazing beach at Harlech and Barmouth town centre and beach. We especially enjoyed the glorious views from the cottage and being in a quiet and peaceful location with easy access to beautiful walks, lovely beaches and a good number of tourist attractions. If you are considering staying here, we would recommend the cottage without hesitation. Indeed, we expect to return!

Simply great family place to stay, especially after lockdown. I loved it.

Great 2 night stay at Faeldre. Comfortable and modern with all you need for a lovely break. Beautiful views. Didn’t get to meet the owners but enjoyed the Welsh cakes and butter. Thank you

We had a 3 night stay at the end of October & had a wonderful break.
The cottage is absolutely lovely, furnished to a high standard, with beautiful views.
The location is also superb, allowing you to explore the stunning coastline with ease.
We can’t thank you enough for making us feel so welcome & the cheese, butter & welsh cakes were a real nice touch – enjoyed with a few cups of tea!
This has definitely been one of our favourite stays in Wales thanks.

Just returned from a fabulous week spent in this beautiful location. The house is absolutely stunning and has everything you could need. Welcome pack on arrival (fresh eggs, welsh butter, cheese and welsh cakes) is a lovely touch and the owners are so welcoming and friendly. Despite the weather being a bit hit and miss we made the most of the area visiting Barmouth, beautiful beaches, the castles in Harlech and Criccieth and the stunning Nantcol Waterfalls. Each day we looked forward to returning to the house and as it felt so relaxing and homely. The ultimate recommendation I could give would be that the husband (who doesn’t really do holidays) had such a great time and enjoyed the location so much that even he didn’t want to come home. An absolute gem and we can’t wait to return. Thank you

This cottage is the holiday- it’s original features are a delight, the decor is modern and clean and fresh. Each day we looked forward to coming back to a glass of wine on the patio looking out across the farm to the sea. Our children had so much fun playing on the farm. As everyone says the Thomas family are lovely and the welcome pack includes Welsh cheese, butter, Welsh cakes and farm eggs. There is a shared utility room outside of the cottage with washing machine, freezer and iron. We traveled to Llanberis for Snowdon about an hour away but this area is full of great beaches, walks and cycling. We missed out on Coed y Brenin for outdoor activities but did bounce below at zip world. Recommend Corris Craft Centre for kids things to do on a rainy day especially chocolate making but must book all activities in advance. Recommend hiring bikes in Barmouth for easy flat ride over bridge to Fairbourne or walk. Betws-Y-Coed worth a visit. Great holiday, thank you

We enjoyed a lovely week in the cottage. It was very clean and it is equipped to a high standard. The proximity to the mountains and the many beaches in the area make the cottage an ideal location. Our hosts were very friendly and we loved the regular visits from the sheep dog puppies. We plan to return.
Thank you.

We stayed at Faeldre for 2 weeks during June 2019. What a perfect place to switch off and relax! Beautiful views, with amazing sunsets over the Lleyn Peninsula! Brilliant location for exploring Snowdonia, mountains, rivers and beaches.
The owners are so friendly and helpful. We had a couple of issues which were very promptly and efficiently sorted out. The cottage is beautifully renovated with all mod cons (showers & kitchen excellent) and some quirky features, like an upstairs stair case to nowhere but a window with a view! I would prefer the freezer to be in the house, rather than in a separate room around the corner, but that’s a minor point really. The sofa suite is possibly a bit soft, but some don’t mind that.
Thanks for a great place to stay, in a stunning location. Thoroughly recommend.

Very beautiful and comfortable cottage. Really peaceful and relaxing. Great location to be able to get too lots of activities. Fabulous holiday in North Wales so much to see and do. Will definitely return soon.

Had a fabulous stay at Faeldre – the owners were really friendly. The cottage is beautiful with everything you need at hand. Set in a perfect location for going out to neighbouring towns.
Would definitely recommend a visit here.

Beautiful well appointed accommodation, well worth the visit.We could not fault it, and would recommend it to others.

Lovely stay – great cottage, comfortable, warm and two power showers after a hard days walking. A beautiful quiet location with Harlech and Barmouth a short drive away and some great beaches to enjoy what ever the weather. Thoroughly recommended.

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Faeldre, where we went as a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids aged 13, 8 & 21 months). Property is beautiful, clean and modern but retains some traditional features to give character and charm. Has all the basics you would need during your stay. We found the beds to be really comfortable and had a great sleep every night! The location is great for exploring North Wales and the views are stunning. It is one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in, and wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be returning to Faeldre on our next visit to North Wales.
Also, a big thanks to Donna, who found my son’s soft toy after we had left, and contacted me to tell me, and then sent it back to us in the post the same day! Diolch x

Our second stay at Faeldre. The cottage is still wonderfully clean, well-equipped and comfortable as well as being extremely well-located for visiting Snowdonia, the Llyn Peninsula and the north coast. Watching the sun set over the dunes from the cottage windows (or the garden if it’s a bit warmer!) can’t be beaten.

Just had a really lovely week in what I can only describe as a fabulous house. Set right on the farm, it has views down to the sea one way and the hills and mountains left, behind and right. It really is situated in an ideal place to explore the North West of Wales. And a walk along the fantastic local beaches is a great way to start or end the day. The owners were very welcoming and could not have been more helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending Faeldre if you were thinking of booking somewhere in this part of Wales. I will certainly be back for another stay. Thanks!

Lovely location and cottage is well equipped. Chickens seem to like the windowsill and kids found this hilarious! Super views and easy to get to (by car) local villages, pubs etc.. couple of things – ladies take a shower cap and there is no full length mirror. Also main bedroom mattress was not comfy at all, perhaps that’s just our taste. Overall a lovely stay in a quiet and peaceful location

We have just enjoyed a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage. The views are superb you can see for miles and the sunsets magnificent. The beaches are so near and plenty places near hand to visit. Our little grandson just loved iwatching the tractors and playing in the garden. We were able to bbq in the garden as the evenings were so nice. Hoe to come back again . xx

We stayed 5 days in Faeldre. The landlady Donna is very welcoming. Everything was perfect and clean in the house.
It feels like home.
Perfect location to discover Snowdonia, Anglesey, and the Peninsula.
The view from the House is great.

Thank you for a lovely Easter stay in your cottage, location was perfect for exploring North Wales, our children particularly enjoyed staying on a working farm with the new born lambs. The cottage was great the only complaint was tv reception was terrible, WiFi intermittent and the main bed was very soft , if they could be improved it would be a 5 Star place x

A superb cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage is well appointed & tastefully decorated, lovely & warm with great views to the sea & the Llyn peninsula.
One of the nicest holiday cottages we’ve stayed in, we look forward to coming back someday.

Couldn’t recommend this property more highly. Beautiful cottage in fabulous location with stunning views and friendly owners who live next door. We had a great holiday, the kids really enjoyed being on a working farm, loved the puppy and didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay.

We stayed here last October and had a lovely time!
Great to see the sheep and chickens each morning and a few minutes drive to the beaches
We had a bit of an emergency with on of our kids and Donna, the lovely owner, helped us with her welsh to find a hospital and sort our problem.
Lovely place to stay
Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Faeldre, one of the nicest holiday properties we have stayed in, well-equipped and in a beautiful setting. It was interesting staying on a farm. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Our first stay at Faeldre, and are genuinely hoping to return next year to this very clean, spacious and highly specified cottage, would highly recommend a stay here.

Just had a wonderful week staying at Faeldre. Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Spotlessly clean with a very well equipped kitchen. Our grandson, who is almost 4, loved the animals especially the 2 chickens who came to the kitchen window every morning. Lots of attractions for all ages within a short drive. Would highly recommend Faeldre.

We have just returned from a long weekend at Faeldre. The accommodation is lovely. Character with all the modern amenities. Very impressed with the well equipped kitchen (usually not the case in a holiday let!). Bathrooms were both finished to a very high standard. Fantastic views across the farm to the sea beyond and easy access to Snowdonia and the wider area. Fantastic part of Wales – highly recommended.

We’ve just had a great week at Faeldre with our two young children. They loved being on a working farm and looking out the window each morning to see what was going on and we loved the amazing house – so comfortable, clean and thoughtfully furnished. Great location too with fantastic beaches on the doorstep and within easy travelling distance of castles, trains and seaside towns! Thanks for a great stay.

We had a very good holiday which was enhanced by the lovely accomadation which was very comfortable and tastefully decorated needless to say spotlessly clean. Hope to return soon.

A truly wonderful place to stay, accommodation was sensational, tranquil and relaxing environment, welcome was lovely with cake, butter & cheese waiting for us on arrival, stunning scenery, beautiful places to visit, only one place for us to stay next time, would highly recommend this beautiful place.

We have just enjoyed a fantastic half term break at this lovely, comfortable cottage. It’s location enables you to enjoy seaside, mountains and rolling countryside. Lots of activities for children in the area especially the fantastic ‘Bounce Below’ in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Beautiful walks in Snowdonia and along the coast. Looking forward to returning and exploring more and we would definitely choose Faeldre again.

We spent a week at Faeldre Farm in July and it was just fantastic! The area is absolutely gorgeous with lots of things to do and Faeldre was just perfect for the five of us. A lovely home away from home which we can definitely recommend!

lovely cottage! cakes, biscuits and eggs left for us, much appreciated. great views, lovely and quiet. this is our 8th or 9th visit to this area, and this is at the top of the tree for quality. the chickens are funny.

We had a great time, cottage was very good and clean,
great location for touring.
We met the chickens and sheep.
Thanks you for a lovely stay

ps
my dad is on the eldely side from the bedroom to bathroom there are steps down then steps up, five in total

Just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at Faeldre and really loved every minute. Cottage was well presented with everything we could have needed. Thank you for the Welsh treats on arrival too. Perfect location for our little boy who loved seeing the sheep, watching the shearing and talking to the friendly hens every morning. We used the cottage to explore mainly the area to the north and can highly recommend Abersoch, Portmeirion, Criccieth (especially Dylan’s restaurant), the Ffestioniog Railway, as well as the beautiful local beaches. Our visit to Llangollen standard gauge railway was also worth the longer trip. Still so much we could have done if only we could have stayed longer so sure we will return in the future.

Faeldre is a lovely spacious cottage in a great location. The stillness and wonderful views were just what we needed to escape the rush of the rat race. The property also wins best view from a wardrobe ( check out the sunset from the master bedroom wardrobe). We used the property as a springboard into the hills for walking and also down to the wonderful beach at Llandanwg.

We loved the cottage it had everything we needed, the owners next door were friendly & helpful. The views from the cottage were amazing & it made a good base for us to go exploring around that part of Wales! We would definitely return there!

We have just returned from a short break at Faeldre – what an absolutely fabulous cottage! Everything was very clean and well kept, comfortable and cosy. Delightful combination of rustic charm and modern comforts. Thank you for the little additional treats too, lovely surprise and most welcoming. The owners were genuinely friendly and helpful. It was most interesting to stay on a working farm. We already knew the area and can recommend the Welsh Highland and Ffestioniog Railways, as well as the beautiful local beaches, Harlech and Caernarvon castles and the area’s slate mines and heritage. The only downside was that we had not booked the cottage for longer! Would love to return soon! Diolch yn fawr.

We had a wonderful weekend!Great location. Thanks to the lovely owners

Just spent a lovely relaxing week in our favourite part of Wales. The accommodation was outstanding and the perfect place to spend a warm and cosy break. We instantly felt at home and was overwhelmed by the kindness that we received from the owners. It was great looking out on a working farm at this time of year. A gem of a find! We will be back. Thank you.

Wonderful weekend break – would have liked to have stayed for longer. Accommodation was outstanding in a stunning location. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming – even the weather was kind. Hope to return in the near future.

We have just returned from 4 days at the beautiful Faeldre. This cottage is tastefully decorated, warm and cozy at this chilly time of year. We were made to feel very welcome and the location was perfect. Our stay was all too short but we would love to return – soon!

Just returned from xmas break in Faeldre with the family. Absolutely perfect. The cottage is so modern yet it has retained many of its wonderful original features. It was spotless when we arrived and had all the features you would expect. The setting on the farm was beautiful and peaceful and the kids loved watching the cows and sheep. The owners were always available to help. We would definately return again!

A wonderful place to stay; a beautiful building that has been tastefully refurbed inside. Situated on the coast we woke up to beautiful views out across farmland and the sea, but within striking distance of Snowdonia. A very warm welcome from the owners as well! At the end of our holiday none of us wanted to leave as it felt like such a wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful accommodation and location, thanks to the owners who made us feel most welcome.

We just finished our two weeks holiday in Faeldre, I agree to all the comments before: A tastefully modernised house very well equipped on a high standard in a quiet environment made it easy to enjoy the stay and love coming back in the evening. The owners are extremely friendly and sympatric and welcomed us with an arrangement of eggs, butter and sweet.
Faeldre is perfectly situated near to the dunes and a stunning beach. For walkers a path starts just on the other site of the road, many great walks in Snowdonia are easy to reach.
Unfortunately the holidays ended much too fast, we`d love to come back soon!

We spent two weeks at Faeldre and really enjoyed our stay. We were exploring the mountains in gliders from the local airfield. The house was beautiful and in a stunning location. Access was easy, our hosts were very helpful and friendly. We even had nice weather. We hope to return to Faeldre and further explore the Llanbedr area. We have no adverse comments.

Fantastic house and holiday with nice fine weather. The house is lovely and clean with all you need for a wonderful stay and the owners just next door to
help if needed. Shame we had to leave as we could easily of stayed another week . Thank you for a great week.

Just returned from a lovely week in the very comfortable, clean and cosy Faeldre Cottage. Brilliantly placed for touring the North West corner of beautiful Wales. Loved the views,sunsets and waking up to the sounds of a working farm. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

We’ve just had a great week at Faeldre despite the rather inclement weather! The cottage is extremely comfortable with all mod cons – great to have 2 bathrooms with 5 adults staying. We loved sitting on the patio with amazing views when the weather allowed. Highlight of the week was a trip up Snowdon by train, although we walked the 5 miles down. Tip – you need to book the train in advance online. Harlech is great too, with a castle & an amazing 4 mile sandy beach. Thanks to the friendly owners for a very enjoyable stay.

We had a fantastic week in Wales! The perfect location for a family with young children: beaches, beautiful walks, pubs, mountain views… We’ll be back!
Faeldre is a very clean, cosy, comfortable, modern cottage with nice views and lots of open space around the house. The owners are very very nice and helpful. We enjoyed every minute! Thank you very much!

We spent a wonderful week at Faeldre. The house is very comfy, spacious, clean and has stunning views. Perfectly situated for touring the area. The sunny weather over the week was just perfect. The owners are very friendly and gave us a warm welcome with some goodies in the fridge. It was our first time in Wales, it certainly won’t be the last. Thank you!

We had a lovely week at Faeldre Farm. The views were wonderful and the Farmhouse was excellent. Our grand-daughter went to the lambs every day and didn’t want to go home. The owners were very friendly. A great location to explore this part of Wales. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

We spent a lovely relaxing week at Faeldre Farm. The scenery was amazing and the Farmhouse was modern, clean and spacious. Our daughter helped to feed the lambs and didn’t want to come home. The owners were friendly and there was a warm welcome including milk, welsh cheese and home made Easter biscuits. A great location to explore this part of Wales. We recommend the Titan Zipwire, Harlech Castle, Portmeirion and the very tasty award winning fish and chips from the Mermaid Fish & Chip Shop in Barmouth (near the railway station). The beaches were beautiful and the sunsets were stunning. Hope to visit again!

What a great cottage, absolutely spotless, could not fault it. Children loved visiting the lambing shed on the farm. Great walks nearby and lovely beaches. A great cottage to retreat to from the Welsh weather!

What more can I say……the comments below say it all!!!
Will definitely be back!!
Thank you so much!

We stayed at Faeldre in October half term and even though the weather was not lovely every day the comfort of this beautiful cottage more than made up for it. Great location and lovely area to explore. Would love to come back in the summer.

brilliant place to stay, accomadation faultless. Owners very welcoming. Left some homemade welsh cakes,cheese,butter and fresh eggs for us on arrival, will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed at Faeldre at the beginning of September. The cottage is finished to a very high standard and we were made very welcome. Great views from the cottage and good location for touring the area. We could not have asked for any better for a very relaxing holiday and the weather was an added bonus!
Thank you both for making us feel at home in your lovely cottage and we hope to return in the not too distant future.

From the moment we arrived we felt totally relaxed in this beautiful house. The house was perfect with everything you would need, including wonderful views over the coast and countryside. Great hosts, very welcoming, great location, very tranquil, can’t wait to return. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

Faeldre is perfectly situated to allow enjoyment of nearby, beautiful beaches and easy access to the mountains. Well appointed with tasteful decor, this cottage is very comfortable for a family holiday and whilst on a working farm, very quiet. Stunning views and very welcoming owners next door make this a destination we would happily recommend.

We just enjoyed a fabulous week at Faeldre. The accommodation has been finished to a very high standard and the owners who live next door to the house could not have been more welcoming or helpful! Our 3.5 year old loved being on a working farm, he even got to sit in a big digger! The area offers a wealth of things to do come rain or shine. Huge variety of local beaches, easy access to Snowdonia, every drive has a breathtaking view, we’ll certainly be back to this part of Wales! Thank you x
