Reviews of Groes Newydd
"The cottage is a haven! It is warm, tranquil, comfortable, peaceful with all the facilities a guest could expect from a holiday cottage in the Snowdonia countryside.The final road to get there is narrow steep with twists and turns but plenty of passing opportunities. The area is outstanding with views over the estuary, a lake within a few hundred yards behind the house and endless walking opportunities."

"The location is idyllic and the views were spectacular. The cottage is one of the best ones I have stayed in and I could quite easily live there. It's well equipped, well furnished and very homely. It was so relaxing and peaceful, I didn't want to come home. "

"The view and the location were so special - staring out the window, wandering up to the lake and the little chapel up the hill, watching the changing sky and the sea in the estuary, eating in the garden. The house is comfortable and just right - everything you need though nothing flashy. The area is less touristy and more rural than further north amongst the bigger hills, but still fantastic for walking and isolation. Had a perfect week - we were lucky with the weather too."

"So many things we particularly like about the cottage; the Aga, the wood burner, the location, WiFi, the views, the beaches, the mountains and the leisure centre in Porthmadog. We both love the cottage, it's the second time we have been and it's always warm, welcoming and a wonderful relaxing holiday retreat."

"This cottage is great if you enjoy the fresh air and walking. My partner and I and our dog loved the way we could start our walks from the front door of the cottage. This Easter it was bitterly cold in Snowdonia and the snow was still covering low lying hills as well as the peaks of the mountains. But that made it all the more beautiful.We were lucky in that although the weather was cold, it was dry. The cottage was well equipped, but our first evening there was quite a cold one. The wood for the wood stove was too damp to burn and the cottage would have benefited from someone airing the cottage,switching on the central heating prior to our arrival and putting a feather duster round to get rid of a few cobwebs. However, once we warmed the place up it was comfortable, the kids appreciated the wifi and the kitchen was kept warm by the Aga. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and loved the surrounding countryside. We found two or three nice pubs for food and drink, but one last observation. The local economy is in a bad way. Many of the pubs and restaurants are closing or a bit run down; public transport is virtually none existent, prices in the local shops are much higher than in the towns and despite it being Easter, there seemed to be very few people visiting the area."

"We had a lovely time at the cottage, we loved learning how to use an aga ! Not too difficult to get right with the local welsh lamb from the local butcher. Perfect location to enjoy lazy nights in at the log burner, with a good book (loads to thumb through on the cottage bookcase) Cottage was really homely, beds were wonderfully clean and comfortable, great for lazy long lies waking up to views of sunshine over the bay. We took our dog, there are plenty of pretty walks in the woodlands all around the cottage."
