    Lovely quality fixtures and fittings, and very clean. Spacious cottage located in a great rural area with mountains at the rear of the property and a distant sea view just down the road. Ideally located for many of the attractions of Snowdonia.

    A break is definitely what we got, thanks to this beautiful cottage. We are very grateful to have found somewhere that was so wonderful . The scenery on our doorstep was breathtaking, the cottage was incredibly comfortable and very well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed having sheep as our neighbours for a week. We all thought the cupcakes and jelly babies were delicious Thank you for helping to put us back together with your beautiful cottage .

  • "Absolutely loved the cottage and setting, the decor was beautiful and the furnishings were comfy."

    The garden was lovely and we spent many evenings sitting out enjoying the sunshine and using the fire pit. The feedback I would give is that having just one bathroom and no separate toilet wasn’t always sufficient for a family of 4. If you were to consider a downstairs toilet extension I’m sure this would enhance the stay. Also I know it’s a working farm and the sheep are free roaming, but there was sheep poo everywhere, a consideration to having the parking area fenced off so that the sheep couldn’t enter would help.

  • "Cefn Uchaf Cottage surpassed all expectations."

    The attention to detail was very much appreciated, the table laid for dinner and the amazing home-made butterfly cakes. Cefn Uchaf is a homely cottage set in the most glorious landscape on a tiny mountain road leading to nowhere in particular. It is beautifully decorated to the highest standard and was extremely comfortable. The luxurious bedding and quality beds made for a good night’s sleep and the spacious bathroom was ample for us three girls, meeting for the first time since covid. I had chosen this cottage for our annual walking holiday as I had been keen to explore the Rhiniog mountain range which is off the beaten track. Walking through Drws Ardudwy on the first day to the sound-track of a cuckoo was a dream come true as was the walk along the Roman Steps the following day (two cars needed for that as we set off from Cwm Bychan and walked back through Drws Ardudwy into Cwm Nantcol). We stopped off to see the famous Salem chapel and painting and explored the gurgling river and waterfalls after dinner. We are keen to return and feel very blessed to have been able to stay in this wonderful part of Wales. Diolch Eleri. Thank you Eleri for a wonderful wonderful stay.

    The only sounds were of the natural variety including sheep, lambs, buzzards and the odd drumming of a woodpecker. Lots of walks straight from the door, and beautiful beaches close by makes this an ideal location for all tastes. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and the bed was one of the best we have slept in! Lovely homemade cakes on arrival and made to feel welcome with a visit from our host when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this cottage for anybody wanting a peaceful holiday in the countryside.

About the location

LLANBEDR

Harlech 3 miles; Barmouth 8 miles.

The pretty village of Llanbedr quietly nestles in ancient woodland between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline. Situated next to the beautiful River Artro, and boasting a mild climate due to its unusual positioning behind the high dunes of a nature reserve, this charming village has an exciting array of wildlife and birds, handy local shops, bike hire and mountain walks on your doorstep, as well as two excellent pubs. The small town of Harlech is just 3 miles away and boasts the World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle, a majestic 13th century stronghold, the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants and the most magnificent six-mile long sandy beach, perfect for wonderful walks and family fun. Nearby Barmouth offers the amazing Panorama Walk along the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, providing breathtaking vistas, which were described by John Ruskin as “the most sublime view in Europe” and also a harbour from which you can catch a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway, or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.
