A spotlessly clean and well a furnished holiday let. The house is amazing and set in a beautiful part of Wales. Beds were comfortable and the towels super soft. We would highly recommend this cottage and will return. Many thanks to the owners for their kind words at such a difficult time for us.

We are just home from an amazing stay at this beautiful house , we were staying with a very young baby so cleanliness was the uppermost importance and this house is just spotless, everything down to the beautiful smell of the bed sheets (would love to know what you use ) fresh flowers in all the rooms downstairs was a lovely touch , but the freshly baked scones that you could smell as you entered the house were just amazing , I really can’t say enough good things about our stay , we all just loved it , a lovely warm welcome awaits you and we really didn’t want to go home , we all said another couple of nights would have been perfect , thank you so much for having us and helping to make baby Harry’s first little holiday such a perfect one x

We had a great stay at Ficerdy. The property is immaculate. Lots of space, spotlessly clean and the Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely touch. We throughly enjoyed our stay which provides a great location for numerous local walks. We particularly enjoyed Aberglaswyn gorge and walking in the foothills of Snowdon from Llanberis. We had one very rainy day, but visited Bounce Below at Blanaeu Ffestiniog, which the children loved. The property is very well equipped and finished to a high standard. The only point to note is that for heavy users of the internet, the broadband is quite weak, and easily overwhelmed if you’re using multiple devices. If streaming movies / games etc. is crucial to your holiday (it isn’t for us, and it was quite nice to be forced off your phone!), then it maybe isn’t for you. We, however, would very happily stay here again. Nest was on hand to greet us on arrival, and a very small problem we had with a low battery in a smoke alarm was dealt with very quickly. Highly recommended.

We visited 10-15 October 21 and had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house.
The property is spotlessly clean and the welcome pack of scones (with cream, jam and butter), fresh flowers in the downstairs rooms and wine was most welcome.
The weather was kind to us so we were able to get out and about and enjoy to trips to Anglesey, Conwy, Llandudno, Bangor and enjoy fabulous walks in the Snowdonia Mountains.
At the end of a full day it was a joy to return to the house and rest in home from home surroundings.

Ficerdy is one, if not the best holiday cottage/house we have ever stayed in! (and we’ve stayed in a lot)!
Nest and Gwyl are the most amazing hosts. There when you need them or not if you don’t. The property is SPOTLESSLY CLEAN and very well equipped too. It is also in a great position for discovering North Wales beautiful countryside and attractions. We highly recommend that you try this property if you want a comfortable, relaxing staycation in North Wales! One small thing (and its not a criticism) we would have liked to see more standard lamps or ambient lighting in the downstairs rooms? We bought some of our own lights along and moved a bedside lamp from upstairs into the living room to give the property a more cosy feel.

Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. We had a fantastic week back in July and will definitely be booking again.
The house is beautifully set out and absolutely spotless, and the location was perfect for days out in Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.
We’re looking forward to visiting again!

Beautiful holiday home and spotlessly clean- felt at home straight away. We’ve had a lovely break and enjoyed our walks in Snowdonia & the Llyn Peninsula- our favourite walk was Cwm Idwal and Devils Kitchen, the scenery was amazing. Check out the National Trust website for Snowdonia and Llyn Peninsula for walks & car parks- well worth it! Thank you for the scones and wine- very much appreciated!

We have just returned from a week staying Ficerdy, and what a fabulous stay! The hosts couldnt have been more welcoming and helpful – made a very relaxing stay.
The quality of property was exceptional – very high standard maintained throughout from the amenities to the soft furnishings. The games trunk was brilliant for our 3 year old on a rainy day, and the added bonus of washing machine / tumble dryer and separate utility area just made everything so easy!
Absolutely fantastic property, hosts, area and would definitely return!

The property is tastefully renovated and furnished, spacious, very clean, enhanced by flowers, a welcome pack of wine and scones and had great Christmas decorations including a huge tree.Beds are comfortable and with two sitting rooms it is quite versatile if some want to watch tv or play cards and others want to do something else of an evening or on a rainy day.The owners have clearly gone to a lot of trouble to make this property attractive and cosy – we enjoyed a week from just after Christmas into New Year when there is still plenty to do in this area even though it is out of season.

Elegant and beautiful, a mix of antique and contemporary, a delight to stay here. One of the cleanest places we have stayed. Lovely welcome pack. We had a great view of buzzards from the windows and some lovely little lambs!
We stayed in Feb for a celebration but I forgot to post feedback at the time.

Just WOW ! Such a beautiful property in a really great location. The house was spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly want for a week of absolute bliss in the Welsh countryside. The scones & wine were a lovely treat and the beds were so comfy. Thank you Nest for being a truly wonderful host & we will return next year for sure.

Thank you to the hosts for such a warm Welsh welcome. My mother and I enjoyed a lovely week of peace and relaxation in this lovely home. Everything was pristine and I urge anyone to find something that wasn’t provided, the owners have thought of everything. Even though we stayed in November and there were a few blustery evenings, we were warm and cosy inside and lucky enough to enjoy some sunny days to earlier the area. We hope to return in the future during summer to make use of the outside area and privacy, it would be stunning. Thank you so much.

Lovely week for three generations of the same family. Delightful accommodation and a very welcome ‘welcome hamper’. Only suggestion would be for possible increased fridge space, but we loved the place and will definitely return.
So much to do in the area. Weather was kind and we spent much of week searching for excellent coffee and cake – personal favourite was Siop Coffi TH in Porthmadog (cheesecake recommended). In addition the search for best ice cream shop was won by the street vendor at the foot of Criccieth Castle by the beach.
Whole family loved crab fishing off the pier in Beaumaris and a trip to Trearddur Bay on Anglesey.
Wholeheartedly recommend the place.

From the moment Nest and Gwil welcomed us to the time we left, it was absolutely perfect. A beautiful house furnished to a very high standard in a beautiful and peaceful location. Ideal for visiting Portmeirion, Ffestiniog Railway, Snowdon and the Zip Slide, all of which we greatly enjoyed. A fantastic welcome from all of the Welsh people we met and a 100% great five days. A word of advice to anyone travelling from the London area. Avoid the M40/M6 route – go down the M4 into Wales and up through Builth Wells. Wonderful scenery and far less traffic.

From the lovely welcome from Nest and Gwil to the day we left, idyllic. A beautiful house, furnished to a high standard and ideally situated. We greatly appreciated the quiet! I would recommend it to anyone – there can’t be any better places to stay. Ideal for Ffestiniog, Portmeirion, Snowdon, Caernarfon and the Zip Slide, all of which we greatly enjoyed. We would love to go back, but it is unlikely. We have lots to do and are running out of time! A tip for anyone travelling from the south-east. Instead of the M25/M40/M6 route, go down the M4 and up through Buith Wells. About the same distance but takes about an hour longer. Far less traffic and stunning scenery all the way after Buith Wells.

This was a delightful period cottage, very tastefully decorated with every modern convenience needed. The owners were very warm and welcoming and we very much appreciated the treats left for us on our arrival. We were a family of six and found the house very spacious, it was an added bonus having the second living room which allowed for greater flexibility during our stay. The setting of the cottage was beautiful being surrounded by open fields and we very much enjoyed viewing the new spring lambs from the windows! The area was also very peaceful but only a short drive from many of the area’s attractions. We would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely holiday home.

The house was beautiful. Everything clean and fresh. The welcome pack was a very nice touch, the scones especially were lovely. There was plenty of space, with large bedrooms and even a wee snug in addition to the lounge. The large chest of games was inspiring, we sat and played them in front of the log fire, wonderful.

We had a lovely long weekend in March. The house was beautifully decorated and we were welcomed with freshly baked scones, flowers and some basic supplies including wine, which was much appreciated after a long journey. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and the house is located within easy reach of the beautiful welsh coastline and snowdonia. We would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again if in the area.

This house is absolutely lovely. So tastefully designed and furnished. Everything was well equipped, beautifully cosy and with extra touches that would make this pretty stand out above the rest. The host was super – so warm and welcoming and the extra touches were a really joy – the homemade scones, the tea and coffee, the wine, fresh flowers and birthday treats for my Father.
The house is perfectly situated – a rural location yet close to everywhere you would want to visit in Snowdonia and amenities a short distance away despite being tucked away in a quiet location.
The bedding and beds were so cosy, the log fire a delight, kitchen well equipped and the entire house was utterly spotless.
We would not hesitate to return. Thank you for making our weekend extra special.

The house was very recently decorated and stylish. The downstairs wc and shower was outside which wasn’t very convenient. We did recommend that the stairs would be safer with a hand rail. Otherwise everything was lovely.

A beautiful, very comfortable and quiet holiday cottage, which was an ideal base to explore the area. It had one of the most comfortable beds we have experienced in over 30 years of staying in holiday cottages! The owners were welcoming and friendly. When we next visit the area, we would, without hesitation, again stay in this cottage. If you are searching for somewhere to stay, stopping looking and book this cottage, you will not be disappointed!
