Perfect break to see the New Year in! Thoughtful host with lots of little extras to make you feel right at home.

Very cozy place, with everything needed to enjoy a quiet time! Fireplace and BBQ helped a lot, but otherwise the house was fully packed to make cooking and serving food easy We booked Xmas time and the house had lots of Xmas lights (we brought our own ones, but didn’t have to put them, cause the house was already decorated). It even had a small wooden Xmas tree, which we used to put presents Also, the bathroom/hot water supply was amazing.

We had a wonderful weekend stay in Uwch-Y-Mor. It looked beautiful surrounded by the autuminal colours and Welsh nature. Inside it was really warm, beautifully decorated and cosy! It made it really easy to just slow down and relax. From a practical perspective – the house was really well stocked with anything we needed, and was in a great location for exploring the villages and nature of North Wales.
Shelley
The cottage is really cosy & very well appointed. We arrived in the dark, so it was a lovely surprise to wake up to such a stunning view in the morning. The communication from the host, Gwen, was great and she replied to any messages very promptly. She had left fresh flowers and a number of goodies for us, which were much appreciated and there were plenty of suggestions of things to do in the local area. We had a wonderful time and hope that next time we can stay longer!
Fabien
Very charming cottage, well-equipped, in a very nice place. The host was proactive and responsive during our interactions.

The cottage is beautiful and charming. Its location with sea views in the middle of the sheep fields delighted us. It is very well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed the terrace thanks to the sunny and pleasant evenings.
Sarah
We had a wonderful week in this lovely cottage. It was immaculately clean on our arrival. We were a family group of 5, ranging in age from 15 to 86, plus a dog. Everything had been considered, to make our stay comfortable and stress free. The wi-fi is good, and the rainfall shower is very good. The views from the garden, porch and upstairs bedrooms across to Anglesey are amazing, especially at sun set. Wonderful walks on the doorstep along a tumbling little river.
Christie
Lovely stay at this cosy cottage! Very clean and lovely comfy beds, would stay again!
Rachel Adams
Cottage was extremely warm and comfortable – the welcome pack was a lovely and much appreciated addition. Great location to both Anglesey and Conwy so plenty of places to visit regardless of weather, especially for dog walks to. Would not hesitate to return – definitely one of our favourite locations. Thanks.
Fiona
We had a truly memorable holiday, everything we were imagining it to be and more. The cottage was lovely, well equipped and with a cupboard full of basic cooking ingredients so for those who want to cook, there’s a variety of spices codiments etc. The welcome pack was much appreciated expecially for the fact that we arrived in the early hours of the morning. Gwen provided us with loads of information and was very responsive. Everything is well explained, how appliances work etc. There are some lovely walks from the cottage and a Coop is about 15 minute walk away. We rented a car and there’s ample space for parking. My favourite part was watching the view from the porch while sipping tea and waving to the friendly neighbour walking his dogs. I had a good feeling about this cottage right from the first time it came up on my search and I’m so glad that it was the one we chose. We were a family of 5 and my children loved it too. I would love to return and would definitely stay there again.
Laura
Outstanding! Beautiful, comfortable cottage, so well equipped. Rainfall shower was brilliant, and the second loo upstairs so handy. Easy access by car to Conwy, Betws-y-Coed and Caernarfon. Canāt recommend this gorgeous cottage enough!
Laura Rose
The most comfortable cottage! We loved our stay. The house is the best equipped of any holiday let weāve stayed in, everything was comfortable, excellent rainfall shower and the second loo upstairs is so handy! The views are stunning. Absolutely 5 star!
Helen Bush
We had a lovely two week holiday here! We are a family of four including a young baby and we had everything we needed to make comfortable living. The owner Gwen was very helpful and quick to respond. The pantry and kitchen supplies were really useful. Plus there was a few quirky things in the cottage to add to the experience! The views are amazing and the WIFI worked well for an online job interview. Having the EV charger was really handy and took the stress out of finding somewhere. If I had to say something that wasn’t so great, this would only be the upstairs loo is very small – not a problem for us and definitely better to have it rather than not. We really appreciated having a mid stay change of linen and cottage refresh – a very thorough job. Great to have local produce in the welcome pack. A big thank you to Gwen and the housekeeper/cleaner/gardener for making everything so nice. We would definitely come back again š

We have just returned from a week at Gwens cottage , what a fabulous week weāve had ! The cottage is lovely , the garden areas are wonderful & the views are amazing ! The location of the cottage is perfect for visiting Conway / Llandudno / Betws y coed & Anglesey , it really is a perfect spot ! We made the most of the garden each evening when we got back from our days out, we enjoyed the evening sun looking across at the beautiful beach & sea with a nice glass of wine , it was so peaceful .. The Co-op in the village is very well stocked & we made a few trips here to get fresh Welsh bread & fresh meat for the many bbqs we did ! We also ate at The Gladstone in Penmenmawr ( 5 mins in a car ) it has a great beer garden & is dog friendly ! Food was really good / great prices & very friendly smiley staff . We also ate at The Seagrass down by the beach , amazing breakfast, lots specials on the board ! We also visited the cafe right next to the beach & enjoyed delicious cake& coffee.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful. Itās in a peaceful area surrounded by lush woodland and fields. The cottage is decorated in an elegant and simple way and you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter, local cakes, is a very thoughtful addition as well as the fresh flowers on the dining table. We will definitely be back as itās the perfect place to unwind and explore the local area.

The cottage was excellent exactly as described in a lovely setting overlooking the sea. The cottage was exceptionally clean and with all the amenities. The shower is great! Only drawback was the lack of a local place to eat but we travelled to Llandudno and Conwy were there are plenty of wanting places. Overall an excellent stay

This is one of my favourite holiday cottages without doubt. A real home from home. Cosy, warm , plenty of character and perfectly situated for walks, visits to the seaside and all that is on offer in Beautiful North Wales. We were welcomed from the date of booking to the arrival date. Loads of information, plenty of recommendations and excellent communication. The cottage is a real gem and I highly recommend it. Thank you so much Gwen for sharing your home.

WE HAD THE MOST COMFORTABLE STAY IN THE COTTAGE. EVERYTHING WAS JUST PERFECT, HOMELY, WARM TOUCHES IN EACH ROOM, SQUEAKY CLEAN HOUSE, CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT LAYOUT, AND STUNNING VIEWS OF THE SEA AND MOUNTAINS. THE COTTAGE AND SURROUNDS ARE SO PEACEFUL, ONE CAN BUT RELAX AND UNWIND. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WISHING TO STAY IN NORTH WALES.
Jon
Really well presented, superb kitchen and bathroom facilities. Fantastic views and well maintained property. Communication with the Host was excellent from start to finish. Very appreciative of the welcome pack. Ideal for visiting Anglesey and Conwy and the surrounding area, including many walks in the immediate vicinity. Beautiful part of North Wales.

We loved the cottage. It was beautifully decorated, incredibly clean and the attention to detail was wonderful. We loved the detail about the family history of the cottage (lived in by a children\’s author) and if you are looking for a place where you could also sit at a desk and look out to the sea and write a novel – this is the place for you. One of our favourite ever holiday cottages!
Linda
We had a wonderful holiday with superb weather. The cottage was cosy with a lovely garden.

We had an amazing holiday, the cottage was everything we could have wished for!
It has a lovely cosy homely feel to it which makes you start your holiday from the moment you step through the door.
Spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
The weather was superb and so we made good use of the garden either in the morning or after a day out.
Gwen asked if we had any dietary requirements and when she found out we had people on a Gluten Free diet the welcome pack was beyond expectations, something I have never experienced before!
Gwen was also very helpful before our visit with information on places to visit and local walks.
We had our 3year old grandson with us and the cottage had lots of toys both inside and outside in the shed to keep him happy. The kite was a big hit with him to take to the beach. All in all we had a fabulous holiday and look forward to returning soon.

30th May – 3rd June
We loved your quirky cottage. It is full of character and wonderful little items dotted around the place. The cottage is located in a lovely location with great views of the coast and great for dog walks around the village. We were lucky enough to meet both sets of neighbours for our short stay and both families were very friendly and stopped to have a good natter.
While we were here we managed to visit Penrhyn Castle, Penmon lighthouse (which was great to see close up and also from the cottage) Llanberis Slate Museum and train ride with the dog and even a lovely ice cream, Traeth Mawr beach (which was lovely and quieter than Newborough beach). On a number of occasions we headed down to the promenade , we were even lucky enough to see a beautiful sunset. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future .
Thank you

My wife and I visited Uwch y Mor for the first time in May. The first thing we noticed was its idyllic location, with stunning views from this beautiful cottage and its garden of fabulous scenery including the mountains and sea. On entry we found the cottage spotlessly clean throughout and well stocked. A few local treats were included in the kitchen.
The village is easily accessible by vehicle, or on foot and has all the necessary pubs, shops and take aways to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
The cottage provided a good base for our walks and excursions, which included Bangor, Llandudno, Portmeirion, Conwy, Betws y Coed and the local nature reserve alongside the seafront of LLanfairfechan.
We had a lovely, relaxing holiday and look forward to returning next year. My wife called the cottage her dream house ā Steve Hyde, Newbury, Berks
Le Feuvre Family
Our stay at Uwch-y-mor was great. The cottage is lovely, the surrounding areas are stunning and we will definitely be back. It’s so nice to find a holiday cottage that is so homely and well looked after. Gwen was a great host, really helpful – even made some tailored suggestions for things to do during get changeable April weather with 2 young kids.
The cottage is roomy, cosy, well equipped and to a high standard. Lots of nice personal touches and those little things that make a difference. My sons eyes lit up when seeing the box of retro Lego. It seems like Gwen has thought of everything and we cannot fault our stay at Uwch-y-mor.
There’s so much to do, so close by that we will have to return and we’re already looking forward to.
Thank you Dioni and Gwen for a our great holiday and memories.
Briony
I can’t praise Uwch Y Mor highly enough! Our group of four had the most wonderful stay here. We felt completely at home and didn’t want to leave. The cottage is beautiful, incredibly comfortable and well equipped. Spoilt for choice with things to do nearby – lots of footpaths on the hills and mountains behind the cottage and lots to see and do within a 30 minute drive or less. Highly recommend and would love to return!
Tina eaton
Had a fantastic time in this beautiful cottage, our 21 month granddaughter loved the surprises in the shed, and the box of toys in the house. The view from the garden was lovely and we sat relax and played ever evening. Anglesey was great loved the beachās had great fun, thank you for everything, made our holiday perfect just what we needed
Saunders family
We enjoyed a fabulous short break in this superb cottage in July. One of the best cottages we’ve ever rented, it felt instantly comfortable and welcoming. Brilliant decor,facilities and features, and a view of the Straits and Anglesey that you could never tire of. Ground floor bedroom and bathroom ideal for our older guest, and sitting out on the raised patio watching sunset form over Penmon is unforgettable. We look forward to staying here again, thank you

It has been a joy to get away from home for a week, in such a beautiful part of the world.
The cottage was spotless, had everything we could need and was very comfortable, we slept very well! I loved the shower, and the log burner was very easy to use and made us toasty warm on the evening we lit it.
We had mixed weather which made for some dramatic views over the Menai Strait and up the mountains. The nature reserves along the coast from Llanfairfechan were an unexpected pleasure – we have done lots of walks – would recommend Newborough beach and Llanddwyn, so beautiful, take a picnic!!
Aber Falls was a lovely walk, the oak woodland is full of birds.
If you enjoy visiting gardens, Bodnant is on another level! Highly recommend.
We had a full and relaxing week, the goodies left were delicious and well appreciated. THANK YOU!

August 2020 – A socially distanced perfect holiday!
Wow! We have had the ‘BEST’ time in this wonderful cottage. As a family of 5 with 3 young children we have found everything we need and really enjoyed time on a great Llanfairfechan beach – what a hidden gem it is here! The boys enjoyed using the kite and our little one enjoyed feeding the ducks too. As farmers we of course visited the local butcher and enjoyed lots of home cooked meals! My parents joined us for 3 nights and were also VERY impressed!
The food in the cupboards, flowers and Welsh food is a lovely touch. We have enjoyed visiting Aber Falls, Stack lighthouse and Zip World Forest for some high ropes and rollercoaster fun. They also enjoyed the lego!
The views have been spectacular, particularly the sunsets in between the thunderstorms. The weather has been soooo hot! (unusual for this country)
We will certainly be back in the future and a huge thank you Gwen for all your help leading up to our stay.
Diolch yn fawr iawn!

We all had a lovely stay, the cottage and surrounding areas were stunning. We went to Anglesey. Jenny and Marnie went into the smallest house, and we all had fish & chips and sat on the front to eat them. We also went to Colwyn Bay, which was really nice for Marnie to stretch her little legs on the beach. Last night (Wed) me and Jen went to the pub for a couple of hours and had a nice time talking to a few locals, although the walk back (stagger) was a bit scary Ha Ha.Thanks again for letting us stay Gwen, it was brill. We will def try to book again.
Best wishes, Martin, Jen, Sarah Marnie X
P.S. Thank you so much for the welcome basket, it was much appreciated.

The cottage is absolutely charming combining an old world charm with all the modern amenities you could possibly need! The views are beautiful, quiet surroundings, had all the board games and movies you could want for a rainy day and we were greeted with delicious Welsh products and a homemade cake! Would recommend for anyone that is looking for a charming and authentic place to stay!

The cottage was warm and cosy and perfect for our needs. It was lovely to have a well stocked larder to call on if we had forgotten anything. And the welcome gift of Welsh produce was very thoughtful. The location was perfect for exploring this part of Wales, but the highlight for us was sitting on the terrace and enjoying the sea view with a G&T!

We came with our two ageing parents and it was suitable – one in the downstairs bedroom and one in the twin bedroom.
They could not praise you enough for the cleanliness and warmth of the cottage.
All our needs were catered for and thank you for the extra welsh food items – a lovely thought.
Phil and I enjoyed the walks in the morning, Aber Falls, one directly behind the cottage and two larger ones on the North Wales Coastal Path.
In the afternoons there was plenty to see locally, for the older guests:
Penrhyn Castle, Conwy Bay, Anglesey and Llandudno.
A beautiful cottage and fabulous scenery.
Thank you – Annette, Phil Leach – Newtown.

A fun walk in the general direction of Aber Falls and some car trekking through the Llanberis Pass. Looking forward to our return visit.

We had an amazing time at the cottage. It is homely, has a soul and is warmly decorated. A true gem to spend a week away and relax. For anyone reading this we suggest exploring Anglesey, Snowdonia National Park but also venture further afield to cities such as Chester and Liverpool. Gwen thank you so much for allowing us to get to know Wales through your cottage. We will be back.

Lots to do and see, the views are wonderful here and so peaceful and tranquil. We had lovely walks on Anglesey and went to great Orm and castle in Caernarfon. The boys enjoyed our week here with the weather being kind to us. Beds very comfy, which always a bonus! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again

I have had the most delightful weekās holiday here and thank you once again for letting me stay. The cottage was clean, warm, welcoming and Iāve found it all very comfortable. I ate my breakfast every day in the little porch/conservatory. The views are just wonderful. It certainly is a magical place especially when you catch the sunset and the lights fade over the sands. How many 1000s or even millions of people before us have stood on this spot and watched that breathtaking sight
