Luxury One Bedroom Studio Cottage on a Working Farm | Stabal-Byrdir

We had the most incredible time at Stabal Byrdir. The cottage is stunning and well laid out. Great shower room. Superkingsize bed, which is very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed (could do with a couple extra glasses as we have water by the bed)
The view is simply stunning, made even better by two lovely Jack Russell’s who come to visit and the chicken and the ducks. You are on a farm, but you wouldn’t notice it.
The access road is very good, tarmac right up to the door, from the main road down in Dyffryn Arduddwy. Quite a few passing places, so no bother.
Lots to do in the area. Portmeirion 45 mins drive away, castle Harlech. We ventured down to Tywyn and spent the day on the steam train. Got the ferry boat from Barmouth over to Fairbourne.
We were booked for 12 nights, but had to cut short, as a quick hospital visit was needed for me. Great nhs at Porthmadog hospital and was back at the cottage in a couple of hours. Sorry we had to cut short as we loved our time there. Thank you Louise for yummy lemon cake and welcome pack. Thank you also for allowing us to stay in your little piece of heaven. J&M x

Stabal-Byrdir is a Gem of a place to stay. The peace, the Tranquility, absolutely fabulous. My first time with Dioni and it won’t be my last……Kate and I give 10/10

See you again soon

We have really enjoyed our 4th stay at Stabal – Byrdir. The cottage is lovely and has everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location is perfect for walking in the hills behind the cottage and we also enjoyed visiting the beautiful beach at Dyffryn Arduddwy. The stunning weather helped!
We also enjoyed the visits to our front door from the ducks and chicken!
Many thanks for the lemon drizzle cake and eggs on arrival. We really enjoyed them

We had a fabulous stay, the scenery and people were amazing. Highly recommend this peaceful retreat.

Wow what a fabulous cottage, wonderful welcome basket. Beautiful clean and spacious cottage.
We found in November the dark lanes were a little more difficult to find.
Good directions we soon found our cottage, and locals kindly helping us.
Highly recommend a stay here for peace and tranquil walks.
Thank you for your hospitality

This was our 2nd stay this year at this cottage and again, did not disappoint. The bed is comfortable with a nice ensuite shower room. The main room is a good size with everything that we needed with a cosy gas fire that soon warmed the room on the couple of cooler evenings we had.
The views outside from the patio are beautiful and the peace and quiet is priceless.
We look forward to returning to Stabal Byrdir again.

Very nice cottage, with a amazing view !

This was our third stay at Stabal- Byrdir and another lovely stay … so very peaceful and great views. The property was very clean & comfortable. Great location for the beach, for walking and for trips a little further afield.
Thank you for the little welcome pack & a great stay.

We had a lovely 3 days at Byrdir, small but ideal for a couple. We were very comfortable. Harlech Castle well worth a visit and went on walks in Beddgelert and Dolgelau. Our 3 days were finished off at Norbar and the food was fantastic.
Hope to visit again soon.

To say we enjoyed our stay at Stabal-Bydir is an understatement. We had a gloriously sunny private patio to sit on with wonderful views. The cottage itself had everything we needed with a large comfortable bed, a big plus for me and a good shower in an ensuite bathroom.
Our hosts had provided a delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake and eggs from their hens who will introduce themselves to you as they saunter around the gardens.
The information and local maps provided were really useful and helped us find a stunning beach we would otherwise have missed.
We enjoyed our stay here so much that we have booked a return visit in 3 months time.

We have just returned from spending a lovely weekend staying in the Stabal-Byrdir cottage. A beautiful cottage, comfortable and peaceful. We were grateful for fine weather to be able to walk to and along Dyffryn beach and also visit Portmeirion and Harlech, and at the end of the day relax in the garden and enjoy the views from the cottage. Louise is a fantastic host and similarly to other guests we very much enjoyed her lemon drizzle cake.

Stabal-Byrdir is a super cottage in a great location at the foot of the Rhinog hills. We were able to walk direct from the cottage which was a very warm and welcoming place to return to at the end of the day. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped and has wonderful sea views from the outdoor seating. We will return, hopefully with better weather.

Super location with fantastic views and a fun drive up narrow road to farm.Loved the lemon drizzle cake and the eggs were great for breakfast.

Lovely cosy cottage with sea views. Great spot to explore this area. Very clean and well equipped. Wouldn’t hesitate to use Dioni again.

What a wonderful place to stay! First of all good directions which we found first time.  A beautiful and quiet peaceful place. Cottage spotlessly clean with all you could need in the kitchen. A wonderful welcome pack. Home produced lemon drizzle cake which was delicious and home produced eggs from the chickens. A wonderfully comfortable bed – huge!! The bathroom and shower was also clean and lovely to return back to after a busy day out. The view from cottage was stunning. Looking over fields and to the sea. Local wildlife making an appearance as well!! 5 stars a definite!!

Yet another lovely stay at Stabal-Byrdir. Thankyou for your hospitality, Gwion and Louise

Lovely modernised cottage with wonderful views. Many thanks to Louise for the eggs and lovely lemon cake. I agree with other comments about an armchair but also the need for a small saucepan. Didn’t enjoy running the gauntlet of the narrow lane but apart from this it was perfect.

The venue was perfect.
A quiet escape in the countryside.
The cottage is finished to a wonderful spec with everything you need. Spotlessly clean.
Welcome pack of essentials, including eggs from the farm and a freshly baked cake was a lovely surprise – and delicious.
Definitely recommend this accommodation without a doubt.

A beautiful location if you want peace and quiet… What can I say… We have been staying at Byrdir for several years now, we come back at least once a year…we have stayed in different cottages but this is our favourite… You can walk from the door out into the hills and a few minutes drive and your on the amazing beaches, accommodation is modern fixtures but traditional style… Cosy and warm very clean and tidy … We will always come back here just because it’s a brilliant base to go on adventures…
Got to also recommend the Norbar, a brilliant bar and seafood restaurant…..
Thanks Louise and Gwion for another great holiday and see you again very soon xx

We stayed for a week at Stabal-Byrdir. We were fortunate with the weather so saw Snowdonia at its best. Bodnant Gardens and Powis Castle are worth a visit especially during spring. Locally Llandanwg beach is great and also the beach cafe. Among the sand dunes is St Tanwg’s Church. Tha Hafan Artro Hotel and pub in Llanbedr have a varied pub menu at reasonable prices. The cottage is ideal for anyone with mobility problems being all on one level. The cottage is set among a small group of converted farm buildings, has its own private garden with views towards the sea. We enjoyed Louis’s drizzle cake and free range eggs. Hope to return very soon.

We have really enjoyed our stay in Stabal Byrdir. The cottage is very well equipped and is warm and comfortable to return to after a day out in the mixed conditions we experienced in April. It is set in a beautiful location with very easy access to the Rhinogydd hills. We found some excellent walks from the cottage. We strongly recommend the ice cream in Harlech. We are already planning to return

Just had a superb midweek at Stabal Byrdir. Very peaceful, lovely huge bed and everything we needed on hand. Would not hesitate to book again and recommend

A lovely location looking out to Cardigan Bay and it’s beautiful sunsets. The cottage was clean and cosy, with a modern feel. Lovely hot shower. Well equipped for 2 people, but could have done with vegetable knife and bigger cafetiere. Luckily only met one vehicle on the narrow lane. Diolch for the delicious cake and eggs.

Had a lovely stay in September. The accommodation was lovely. It was very well equipped and comfortable, though an armchair as well as the two seater sofa would make a welcome enhancement. We had very good weather which made the location and view even more special. We were able to charge our car which was an added bonus. Would love to stay there again.

We have really enjoyed our return visit to Stabel-Byrdir. Such a comfortable, clean cottage in a great location. Ideal for walking. On this short stay, as the weather was so hot and sunny, we visited the local beach & swam in the sea …it was lovely!
Of an evening we would sit looking out to sea and watch the sun going down … perfect and so peaceful.
We also visited Portmeirion, a short drive away which was beautiful.
Thanks for a lovely stay and thank you for the delicious lemon cake & fresh eggs.

Yet another great stay at Stabal-Byrdir. Just love the place. This year we even had a visit from a couple of sheep as well as the dogs and chickens. The only suggestion I would make is there could be an easy chair as well as the sofa. It’s big enough to fit one in. But wouldn’t stop us coming back again and again. Pity we didn’t bump into Gwion and Louise this year always like a chat and catch up. See you next time.

Great cottage in a lovely place. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable, with lovely views We had a peaceful and relaxing week here and would certainly book again

We have just returned after our third visit to this beautiful property, it is always a struggle to leave and make our way home.
The property is ideally situated with beautiful views over the bay, very peaceful and quiet, but within easy reach of the
towns on the coastline, Barmouth, Harlech and Porthmadog and of course the lovely sandy beaches.
The property is clean and well equipped, Wi Fi is included for those of us that can’t live without the internet basically everything you could want for a self catering holiday, the local butchers in the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy is well worth a visit, it is also the local Spar grocery store and stocks most of your every day requirements.
North Wales has some of the most stunning scenery and is great for Hikers, Photographers or people that just need to
re connect with mother nature, we are busy planning our next visit as I write this review.
This property is Highly recommended.
Tony and Annette Beaumont.

Great Cottage, lemon Cake and bits was a Bonus, lovely area around Barmouth and Snowdonia.
Will return again with Grandson, He will enjoy some of the Children things to do, as well has the Beach, the Steam Train Journey, ETC, Thanks Louise.

Had a fantastic break at Stabal-Byrdir. Beautiful scenery up in the hills and the constant birdsong is a lovely atmosphere to relax in! Friendly chickens, dogs and ducks along with the owners too. Not to mention a rather nice cake on arrival!
Loved it!
Will be back!
Ian & Kathryn

This is a lovely cottage in a great location, perfect for exploring the Rhinogydd hills. The cottage was very well equipped and had fantastic sea views from the patio at the front of the house. We also enjoyed the regular visits of the chickens. A very relaxing holiday with no need to drive far.

Stayed at Stabal-Byrdir March 22nd-March 26th. All I can say is what an idyllic place.The studio was well equipped and so comfortable. To sit and have breakfast outside, overlooking farmland and the sea, every morning was just wonderful. Byrdir is ideally situated for the most fantastic walks ,directly from your door. We were so lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the fantastic views. A bit of a hike down to the village but an enjoyable one. Would certainly recommend this place to anyone. Loved it. Dioni never disappoints ….Thank you Louise, family and animals.

We had a beautiful, relaxing stay here at Stabal Byrdir. With a very hectic home life, it was the perfect place to wind down for a few days. Amazing views, very clean and comfortable with everything you need. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend with the added bonus of the hamper basket, especially the lemon drizzle cake. Perfect!

I thoroughly enjoyed a long, winter stay at Stabal-Byrdir this January (2022).

It is a fabulous studio cottage set in a wonderful location. This is my second stay at Byrdir, as I had a lovely short stay at Ty Gwair-Bydir in the summer of 2021 – I was equally impressed.

The facilities were great and had everything I needed. It was warm and cosy and had a lovely feel to it.

The location is perfect for my interests (Hiking/Paddle Boarding/Wildlife) as I can walk from the cottage to the Southern Rhinogydd mountains, explore the surrounding area via footpaths and lanes and pop into Dyffryn Ardudwy for essentials.

I only used my car once in the week I stayed there as I was happy to explore the area on foot! It’s worth getting the map out and going for an explore!

With the beach, Harlech and Barmouth not too far a drive away it’s a great location to explore this part of North Wales & the Welsh coast.

The host, Louise, is lovely (as is her homemade lemon drizzle cake) and the site is very relaxing. Having the resident Hens and Ducks around makes for a lovely atmosphere.

I look forward to returning in the future and I highly recommend.

We enjoyed a warm and comfortable week in this cottage. It is up in the hills along a narrow lane so best arrive during daylight but the isolation provides the most wonderful view of the stars at night. Plenty of walks from your doorstep and easy access to Barmouth to Harlech. Very tasty lemon cake and eggs, thank you Louise.

This was our third stay at Stabal -Byrdir and as usual we loved it. The place is great and offers everything we look for, great location, easy access to all local facilities while still being away from it all.
Thanks once again to the team there, we’re already booked to come back.
Happy new year!!

Lovely stone cottage with everything you need. Very helpful host. Beautiful location
Try and get there during daylight

After another tough year, we were so grateful to enjoy another peaceful break in this lovely, cosy cottage. We were treated to some beautiful sunsets and some (bracing!) walks around the lanes and along the beach. Thank you once again to the hosts for the welcome hamper, and the frequent visits from the chickens put a smile on our face. We can’t wait for the next time!

We had a lovely week at stabal bydir, perfect place to relax and unwind. The cottage was very welcoming comfortable and clean. Lovely beaches nearby, lots of walks to discover and the views just amazing. We were very lucky with the weather as on our return autumn has well and truly settled in.

One of the most peaceful places you could possibly stay. Wonderful views, perfect location and lovely hosts. The ideal place to relax and unwind.

Delighted with our stay at Stabal- Byrdir. Accommodation was lovely. We found it very comfortable and clean. Ideally located for walking.
Would highly recommend and we look forward to returning.
Thank you for the welcome hamper. Lemon drizzle cake was delicious!

We had a wonderful short stay at Stabal Byrdir. So beautiful and peaceful. We were very lucky with the weather which gave us some amazing sunsets to see when sat out at night and the house was exactly what we needed for a couple of nights. Our little girl loved the visits from the chickens and the dogs. The welcome hamper was brilliant and so appreciated as was the homemade lemon drizzle cake which was just gorgeous! Thank you!

What a lovely spot, so peaceful. Loved our stay in this great little cottage which was very comfortable. Well placed for so many attractions, beaches & walks. We packed a lot into a long weekend but are looking forward to coming back & seeing more of the area.

We very much enjoyed our short break at Stabal-Byrdir which was very comfortable.
Even though the weather was a little unkind we still enjoyed walking along Dyffryn beach whatever the weather.

We have really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cosy cottage in such a peaceful location. thank you for the cake, eggs and rest of the welcome tray. We found plenty of walks and more still to do so will certainly be back.

A wonderful place to stay in Snowdonia. Very helpful and welcoming owners, beautiful views and wonderful walking. The accommodation is cosy and comfortable. The whole place is very peaceful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a first-rate place to stay in Snowdonia.

Another great stay at stabal-byrdir .lovely comfortable cottage, warm and cosy .guiet and peaceful. Beautiful views of the sea anc sunsets. We were so lucky with the weather and did lots of walking . Thanks for eggs and cake ,see you again soon

The year 2020 will go down in most people’s memory for all the wrong reasons Ours included.
But one thing we will be able to remember with a big smile on our face is our stay at Dyffryn Ardudwy and STABAL-BYRDIR in particular, it really was our ray of sunshine in a somewhat dull and dismal year, very peaceful warm and cosy with a much appreciated welcome pack (yes the lemon drizzle cake was delicious).
Loved the visits from the chickens, ducks and not forgetting the dogs of course, We were lucky enough to see some wonderful sunsets and the views around the area are stunning.
We had read the glowing reviews of this property and can honestly say they are well deserved, we can’t wait to return at sometime in the future, when, hopefully all this craziness Will be no more.
Thank you so much for bringing a little bit of sunshine into our year.

In these difficult and uncertain times we’re all living in, there has never been a greater need for a beautiful, peaceful and isolated location to spend a few days resting and getting away from it all. So we booked our third visit to Stabal-Byrdir, and after a tough year without any sort of break, we were more than ready for a holiday, and we loved every minute of it. We explored some of the surrounding countryside and were rewarded with spectacular views of the sea and mountains. The cottage was bright, clean and cosy, and we enjoyed the company of the various animals throughout our stay! Thank you also for the farm eggs, home-made cake and crisps – all delicious and very much appreciated. We already can’t wait to be back again very soon!

A truly delightful cottage with everything we needed and a wonderful view. It felt so peaceful and along with other reviews we loved being visited by the chicks and ducks!! Highly recommended.

Enjoyed a 5 night stay in this very well kept, warm cosy cottage.
A good base for exploring this area which was also a good place to return to when the weather is typically British.
First stay here but will return.

This was our second stay in Stabal-Byrdir, and we loved it just as much as the first time. In fact on both occasions we were blessed with glorious sunshine, so we used the opportunity this time to explore the surroundings – we very nearly made it to the top of Moelfre! The cottage is so cosy and full of light – a few more basic kitchen utensils would have been nice (as we like to do our own cooking), but apart from that we were very comfortable. The fresh eggs and Welsh-made crisps were a nice touch, and the homemade lemon drizzle cake was to die for! We also loved the frequent visits by the dogs, cat, chickens and ducks… Overall a wonderful idyllic escape from the rigours of modern life, so thank you very much!

The cottage is a lovely cosy haven and I really appreciated the care that went into making it a home from home. Beautiful setting and the cake lived up to expectations! I would just like to mention that the shower door needs attention as it was so stiff I thought if I shut it I wouldn’t be able to get out!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Stabal Byrdyr. Cottage is perfect for two, immaculately clean and everything thought of. We were blessed with the weather and enjoyed fantastic views, across the fields to the sea, from the terrace. Such a great spot to explore from. Louise and Gwion are so friendly and helpful and we just loved being greeted by the welcome party – the ducks, chooks and dogs – when we returned home each evening! We will definitely be returning. Dioni really stands out from the herd as far as holiday cottages go.

A really enjoyable stay. Very relaxing and ideal for two people. Great views and lucky with some good weather. Well placed to visit North Wales. A visit from the chickens is amusing just don’t be fooled by there looks as I am sure they would share the cottage with you. Highly recommend this cottage if you want peace and quiet. Will be back for another visit.

Great stay as usual. This is our little bit of heaven. Great views and a great place to stay. Had the ducks and the Chickens knocking on the door and the dogs always wanted to play. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a lovely relaxing time at the cottage Stabal Byrdir. We found the cottage and the amenities excellent, the homely touches delicious,the view fabulous and the tranquility unsurpassed. Thanks for a friendly welcome and a lovely stay.

Our second stay at this group of cottages was as good as if not better than the first time. We enjoyed the quiet, the well appointed spaces, the welcome basket (with fantastic homemade cake) and the numerous animal interactions. These cottages provide you with everything you might need from a short stay. Highly recommended and, given the choice, we would return for a third stay here. The owners and operators are to be commended.

We have just stayed there for 1 week. Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. It is very peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very clean and cosy. Hosts were were very welcoming plus the homemade lemon drizzle cake – delicious! With many thanks.

A lovely peaceful 3 days .Stabal Byrdir was just as described clean cosy and all the ‘mod cons’ with excellent views and surrounding scenery. Sadly – no wine or flowers as described in the Welcome hamper but delicious home made lemon drizzle cake !

Just arrived home from our second stay at Stabal-Byrdir this year and we have already booked for another week at the end of July, so we must like it there! In fact we don’t just like it but LOVE it there. The accommodation is comfortable, the view is superb, walking to die for . Louise and Gwion are very friendly and helpful hosts and they now have a VW California camper van to hire at very reasonable rates (gomushroom.com). We have stayed at 3 other Dioni cottages and they are all of high standards though Stabal is our favorite, so much so we could move there!

We enjoyed every minute of the holiday , the cottage was perfect , Janet says the lemon cake was Yummy ( she didn’t share ) we loved all the animals especially the Dear Sweet Pig and the scenery from the cottage was amazing ,thanks for the Duck eggs.we will certainly recommend you to anyone who is interested , Thank You .

We really enjoyed our stay in Stable-Birdyr. The cottage was very comfortable and cosy. Thank you for the delicious lemon drizzle cake, the fresh eggs and the yummy crisps

Absolutely loved our stay! We were made very welcome by Louise and Co. and the complimentary treats were a lovely extra. The cottage was gorgeous inside and out; we couldn’t fault it.

Nice little place. Cosy, clean and peaceful. Fire on, wine poured.. chill out.

Betty. We had a really nice greeting from the owner Louise, and a really nice basket of goodies including was a lovely lemon drizzle cake home made very nice with a cuppa, the cottage was just perfect location and beautiful inside very clean and comfortable beautiful gardens we was greated every morning with there 2 dogs very friendly, we only had 3 nights it wasn’t long enough but would have liked to stay longer next time we will , the only problem we had was getting WiFi on our mobile and iPad In the cottage sometimes it was ok but I must say we would return again sometime recommend this cottage so many places to visit from here thank you for our lovely holiday

Betty 4th sept We had 3 nights at this beautiful cottage but wished we had booked for more nights,the greeting from the owner was very welcoming she left us a lovely home made lemon drizzle cake it was yummy went down very well with a brew, and other good that we used, the weather was really good for us they had 2 dogs that came round every morning to say hello, the vews from the cottage were beautiful, we slept very well bed was comfy, we only had one problem we couldn’t get a signal on our mobile they had WiFi but we would return and recommend

We very much enjoyed staying in Stabal-Byrdir, a lovely quiet place – and cooler than the coast in the very hot weather, with cooling breezes most evenings. We would definitely come back if we return to this special part of Wales.

Yet again a fantastic stay at Stabal Byrdir. Very relaxing and great fun with Del and the other animals. A wonderful location and freindly owners.

Another lovely stay in a Dioni cottage .Very comfortable and peaceful .

Just back from 4 nights break at the converted stable.

It had been carefully and sympathetically transformed and was very clean and well equipped. I think that the sofa cushions needed refilling – we recently had our 20 year old sofa cushions done and they look and feel like new. Despite a long set of instructions we were unable to use the oven – maybe because we have never used a combination oven before. The table was really too small for us. The garden was delightful and it was nice to sit outside snd have a cup of tea with the complimentary lemon drizzle cake and receive visits from the dogs, chickens, ducks and cat.

I would not hesitate to visit again or recommend it to friends. We had an excellent stay.

[…] LUXURY ONE BEDROOM COTTAGE ON A WORKING FARM | STABAL-BYRDIR […]

Just had a 3 night stay in your lovely cottage everything we needed lovely views loved the dogs, ducks, and chickens who came every morning to say hello. This is a lovely spot would certainly return here and the cottage is kept in tip top condition comfy beds, great shower etc.

We’ve visited this beautiful part of the country several times, but this was our first visit to Byrdir – and we were very impressed! The cottage felt so light and spacious, the farm eggs and homemade cake were delicious, and the panoramic views were stunning. The animals (dogs, cat, chickens and ducks) kept us amused as well! We would highly recommend staying here.

This is our 3rd visit to byrdir and our 2nd stay at stabal cottage in less than a year…. We love coming here as it’s so peaceful and so close to the Rhinog mountains.. Lovely accommodation always spotlessly clean and well equipped and the views are amazing…. The beaches are beautiful and within a 10 minute drive.. Would recommend the norbar just past Talybont for an evening drink or meal and also went to Dylans restaurant at Criccieth this time and it was lovely… Thanks Gwion for arranging our very last minute arrival and to Louise for the cake which was yum eaten on top of Ylethr
See you both soon and good luck with the 3 peaks Gwion x

Had a lovely stay over the Easter long weekend. The cottage is well decked out with all you could need and larger towns like Barmout & Harlech are a short drive away in case you need anything extra.

We love staying at the cottages through Dioni. The YouTube videos are a Wonderfull way to choose our next cottage. Byrdir farm is one of our favourite locations and all it’s cottages are designed to an exceptionally high standard and cleanliness. Previous comments from guests have been acted upon and large dinner plates are provided. All the family including the dogs, hens and cat are very friendly but if you want, will leave you alone. We are looking forward to coming back for another holiday, the problem will be deciding which cottage. Moelfe is the cosiest and has the most comfortable bed, Stabal has the more comfortable couch. Other factors, Moelfre has a log burner, Stabal has the gas burner stove. Looking forward to farm fresh eggs, lemon cake and bottle of Cider provided in the welcome pack in each cottage. So in true Gwion style, thumbs up and “Bye” (Love the videos!!!)

What a lovely cottage to stay at! The perfect location, tucked away within stunning scenery. The cottage itself was immaculately presented and really well thought out. The kitchen provided everything we needed and the cooking facilities were absolutely spotless. We are looking to plan a return visit soon. Thank you!

From walking through the door it was like home from home. Well maintained and furnishings of a very high standard. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and the visits from the chickens and ducks were a welcome change. Would highly recommend.

Great place hard to find when is fog

We had a lovely time in the cottage. It was beautiful and very quite except for storm Brian but that didn’t stop us from going out and looking at the shops in the village. We met the pig and the hens which was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed. If I have to complain about anything there was no large dinner plates so eating a meal of a small plate was hard. The mattress was very uncomfortable so we went home with bad backs but this is minor issues. The lemon cake was to die for as my hubby ate the lot. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back

Thanks for a lovely stay again at Byrdir. Since our last visit the alterations that you have made have made it much easier for self catering, although we missed Louise’s breakfasts! The welcome hamper was a nice touch, which we enjoyed. Spotlessly clean and we loved the new fittings and layout.The wi-fi was also appreciated especially as our phones couldn’t pick up a signal.We are already missing Del, Cariad and Gilbert as well the visits from the chickens.It feels like a second home to us, so we’ll be back, hopefully soon.

What a gorgeous place we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back very soon,beaches are amazing and so close for the rhinogs,recommend the Norbar for drinks and food just on the Barmouth Road,loved all the ducks coming to visit every day…
Many thanks Louise and Gwion we shall see you again this autumn

Wonderful stay and beutiful location. Everything you could wish for when considering a relaxing holiday.Thank you very much.

Perfect!!!
Our second visit this year.The Stabl at Brydir is cosy, well equipped with fabulous views and is truly our favourite place to stay in Wales.
Many thanks to Louise for the delicious lemon drizzle cake and to Gwion’s for the cider.
See you again soon!!!!

A first time visit to North Wales for me (a return trip for my husband). What a wonderful surprise. Our cottage was just lovely, very comfortable, with views out across the countryside to the sea. We had been left a delicious and welcoming home made cake and eggs from the farm chickens! The diversity of the terrain in this part of the world is awesome. One day we were in the mountains, the next on the beach, the following in a valley following a wooded path to a waterfall. Slate mines, castles and steam trains kept us busy and occupied. Far too much to do for just the short time we were there. So…. we will just have to return! Our thanks for a great week.

A very comfortable cottage in an attractive rural setting. Thank you for the welcome pack it was greatly appreciated. The weather during our stay was very good and we had a great time visiting many places that we had been to in the past. We will miss the chickens and dogs visiting us eah day.

Beautiful cottage, warm and welcoming and a pleasure to return to each evening after a day exploring the many local attractions.Thank you for the welcome pack the lemon drizzle cake was delicious. We had lovely weather for our eight day stay and the roads were so quiet which was just as well considering the narrow lanes we used

A delightful property in a beautiful location and just perfect for our needs. Fabulous walking country following the old drovers paths around Bontddu and the Rhinogs. An amazing walk up to the deserted slate mining villages above Blaenau Festiniog is a must.
We have had a wonderful time.
Many thanks to the owners for the lovely basket of goodies and also the visiting chickens and dogs! We felt very much at home!

Stable at Byrdir fabulous, comfy, well equipped pad in a beautiful peaceful setting. Wonderful walks from the gate.Thank you Louise for the delicious homemade cake it went down a treat.
See you again soon. Janet & George

We have been visiting Byrdir for the past 15 years and the Stable is our favourite pad. Gwion and Louise are fabulous hosts and have done a superb job in upgrading the Stabl but it still has a homely feel. It is spacious and well equipped and has terrific views across the fields to the Llyn penninsula and Shell Island. There are lovely walks from Byrdir in all directions. One of our favourites is to Lanbeder via Rhaeadr Falls.
See you again later in the year Gwion and Louise.
Jan & George

An amazing weekend in such a lovely little cottage. We spent a great weekend relaxing with surprising OK weather for march!! Very rural location but amazing especially to escape the city life style we have.

Only point we have……..We had to buy our own ‘dinner plates’ as they were too small. We have left them there though for other guest to use 🙂 !!

If your lucky enough to have the lemon cake made make sure you pop the spa for some custard…. It was amazing on a Sunday evening when the mist and rain come down and we had the log fire on with a cheeky bottle of wine watching a movie 🙂

The pig, ducks, chickens and dog are sooo cute!! We would come back just to see these 🙂

What a wonderful few days in this stunning location and the weather was kind to us too – bonus! Perfect place to relax and well situated to explore the coastline and mountain walks. (Care – easy to get lost!!) Enjoyed watching the sunsets over the sea.
A special thank you for the thoughtful welcome pack.
Would be useful to have a visitor book in the cottage to share favourite walks / places to eat. Can recommend Sunday lunch at Ael Y Bryn Hotel at the bottom of the lane, the beach and cafe at Llanfair and the tearoom, Llew Glas, in the square in Harlech.

Gordon & myself had a lovely fun filled holiday in Wales, we could fully relax and recharge our batteries in Stabal-Byrdir after our sightseeing expeditions and that bed was so inviting to ease our aching limbs, to us Stabal-Byrdir was the perfect place to stay and relax.

Had forgotten what a wonderfully beautiful place North Wales was. We had a wonderful restful time at Stabal Bydir, everything was as described! Would love to come back at some time in the future!

A wonderful cottage with accompanying peace and quiet. A perfect destination to explore Barmouth and Snowdonia. Fabulous!

We stayed here for 11 nights and it was magical. Wonderful views, total peace, and such a beautiful area. We will try and take some short breaks as well as another holiday there.

A lovely relaxing week, thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was quiet, peaceful, very comfortable, and was perfectly located for a range of activities, – walking, sight-seeing, beaches, train rides, shopping, and a whole lot more. Best of all, we were left to our resources, and were not bothered by anyone. The perfect relax! And we loved the animals! Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

Had yet another great stay at Byrdir, came home yesterday. Such a lovely place to stay with a great atmosphere and lovely hosts Louise & Gwion. Stabil Byrdir is perfect, with everything you need for a great holiday, would recommend to any couple.

First class accommodation in beautiful countryside with lots of lovely walks and incredible views. We booked three nights at short notice using the very good online system. A lovely welcome pack and visits from the chickens and dogs. Lots of places to visit, too many in the time we had so we shall have to return hopefully.

We loved our stay. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable & clean. Welcome tray og eggs, home made cake & lovely Welsh coffee appreciated. The cottage was a pleasure to return to after a day exploring. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making our holiday in Wales so fantastic. Not only is this part of Wales so beautiful with its varied landscape but the location of the cottage and the amenities provided are all excellent. Impossible to think of anything that could improve the place. Even the weather was good!

The accommodation was superb, clean,well equipped and tastefully decorated… and in a perfect location. Very peaceful and relaxing. Would love to come back soon….

Can’t put into words how perfect this barn was … want to keep it a secret !!!!!! Amazing well equipped accommodation in a perfect location. Worth every single penny. Gwion & Louise & their wonderful parents (who happened to know my Welsh Lockett family !!) gave the us most amazing welcome. Didn’t want to leave EVER … perfect in every way & will be back next year !!!! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL xxxxxx

We spent 3 nights at this lovely cottage and really enjoyed it. The cottage was equipped to a very high standard and had everything we needed. The whole area was beautiful and we felt truly relaxed. Hope to visit again.

We have been coming here since 2006 and intend to continue doing so. Everything is just right for us. What more can I say?

We have just had another lovely few days at Byrdir – this time we enjoyed the recently refurbished Stabal-Byrdir cottage which was delightful – very well equipped with everything we needed. We also enjoyed Louise’s fabulous Welsh cakes and fresh farm eggs. A delightful place to recuperate after a too long walk over the hills near Cwm Bychan!

Beautiful and clean cottage with gorgeous views out over the sea. Peaceful setting. Comfy bed, lovely bathroom, nice touches like homemade Welsh cakes and fresh eggs in the breakfast hamper. Would very happily stay here again – thank you!

This is a fantastic property that I can highly recommend. It’s a good size for two people, has all the comforts and space that you’d need. Very cute, country character cottage. Has a great view of the farm lands and the ocean where you can watch the sun setting. The linen on the beds and the duvet are very high quality and very comfortable. And the living flame fire is a very nice touch. We had a great time here and didn’t want to leave!

We had a fantastic time in your cottage over Christmas, so relaxing and comfortable. Enjoyed feeding the pig.
Thank you

Comfortable and well-appointed accommodation in a scenic rural location. Nice touches from Louise and Gwion made this a wonderful stay.

Lovely cottage with amazing views and sunsets. We had great weather and enjoyed the tranquility of Byrdir while not being too far from the village, Harlech and Barmouth. The cottage was very warm and comfortable with modern kitchen and bathroom. The bed is enormous and very comfortable. We just had a lovely 4 night break and I didn’t want it to end.

Would highly recommend a stay here it is very comfortable and in a beautiful rural location and now has wifi. The owners including their very friendly dogs are so welcoming. Look forward to returning soon.

wonderful cotttage, comfy sofa, big comfy bed, bright and airy with a view to the sea, so quiet and peaceful we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.
went to harlech to eat out, “soul food” near the main carpark, fantastic food, wife says best meal out in years (she is vegetarian) and mine was top notch too.
thanks louise for a lovely weekend

A gorgeous cottage, we spent a wonderful week relaxing. We arrived to beautiful weather and a fantastic home made cake. The accommodation is first class and we were made to feel very welcome. Great rural location with the most amazing views, and close to incredible beaches…. just what we needed to recharge our batteries, thank you for a perfect stay!
