Peaceful location near Snowdonia with a beautiful view

My partner and I stayed for 4 nights and loved it! It was a good location for exploring the castles in Northern Wales as well as Snowdonia National Park. It rained part of our trip but we were able to watch two beautiful sunsets from the house and walk by the sheep farms that are all around. The hosts were great with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend for a peaceful stay.

Perfect location for our family get together

We wanted somewhere rural and quiet and the location of Play Hafod was a pleasant surprise when we arrived. The cottage and garden are immaculately maintained with everything needed for any length of stay. Warm and cosy on wet days and amazing views and sunsets in good weather. Very well located for short journeys into the Llyn peninsula or Snowdonia but tempting to get back early to the cottage and enjoy the view and facilities provided. Some good walks from the front door.

Fantastic little cottage with wonderful garden and views

Wonderful old cottage up on a hill with magnificent views of the valley below and the coast! We took our dog for a little New Year walking holiday and we loved the place. Has everything you need including a lovely roaring fire, the bedrooms warm and cosy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and the north Wales coastline. The owners were very communicative and attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended!

Short February Half Term break

We had a cosy time in this cottage, which was good as the weather was pretty rubbish. We couldn't enjoy the lovely views until late each day as we were envelopped in thick fog. However, it was a perfect hideaway and we enjoyed the log fire. Plenty of exploring in the area but you need a sturdy car to get about!

Beautiful Rural Cottage

Beautiful cottage, spectacular scenery (when the weather is clear) Our weather wasn't great (storm Katherine!!) so low cloud obscured the view in the mornings. Gorgeous location, we met the hosts and they are lovely. Lots of places to visit. I have mobility issues otherwise a walk up on the hills would have been wonderful. Very well equipped and we would definitely come back.

Fantastic start to 2023

Booked the cottage for a long New Year weekend and hoped it would be good. Everything about the cottage was above our expectations. Hosts fantastic communications and welcome, property stunning location, property totally fantastic facilities and utterly spotless, great little welcome pack, superb location for Snowdonia, Criccieth, Pwllheli, Carnarvon. To be honest did not need a trip out log burner on, views of the bays utterly great. You may guess we really loved this place and would 100% suggest you try it.

Plas Hafod

The cottage was well laid out and very clean in a fantastic location. On arrival the owner had a bag of rubbish to pick up from property as we turned up a little early. This was no problem and we were made very welcome with reassurance if we needed anything it would be dealt with quickly. A small welcome package was a very nice touch and with the sunsets and star gazing being some of the best we have seen it won't be long before we go back again. Thank you for such a fantastic break away.

We come to Wales once a year to disconnect from our busy lives, and this little cottage was absolutely perfect for that. It feels beautifully isolated, in the best possible way, peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by stunning views you can enjoy right from the kitchen patio doors or while relaxing in the garden. The garden itself is fully secure, which was ideal for our dog, Archie, who loved having the space to roam safely.The cottage has everything you could possibly need, and everything is so thoughtfully put together. All the amenities are easy to use and clearly set up, which made our stay so relaxing. It’s clear the hosts have put real care into making sure guests feel comfortable and supported. They were available if we needed anything but also gave us complete privacy, which we really appreciated.Little touches like guides, maps, and books about the local area were such a bonus, they helped us plan our days out and discover new spots nearby. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a place that’s been built around the needs of people who want to truly enjoy a few days in Wales. Outstanding stay, we’ll definitely be back next year!

Un endroit magnifique où il est agréable de rentrer après avoir explorer la région. Tout y est pour se sentir bien. Un petit panier d'accueil à l'arrivée avec quelques produits et une bouteille. La vue est exceptionnelle, tout est nickel, un petit jardin clôturé pour le chien,juste parfait. Neil et Siwsan ont le sens de l'accueil. Nous avons crevé un pneu 5 minutes avant d'arriver, Neil est venu nous aider et nous a recommandé un garage pour fixer le problème. Le sens du confort, de l'accueil, des détails qui font que l'on se sent bien. Quelques soucis internet qui ont été très vite réglés. Une semaine c'était un peu court pour découvrir la région. Merci et belle continuation.
