Reviews
The Cottage is a proper 'home from home' in a lovely setting. It is fitted out to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely return in years to come.
The cottage had everything we needed and the garden was lovely to sit in in the evening sun. There was lots to do in the nearby area. The miniature railway in the village was lovely and the train/ferry to Barmouth made for a good day out. There was lots of lovely walks such as blue lake and railway bridge to Barmouth. We would definitely book the cottage again.
The cottage just felt like home, have been there several times and enjoyed going there each time.
Surprisingly spacious, and would be comfortable for a group of five.
Lovely, well presented terraced cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage seemed to have everything we needed, even down to DVDs to watch and games to play in the evening. Fairbourne, the nearest village, has a main line railway station, a miniature steam railway, a lovely beach, and the best value for money fish and chip shop. We had a lovely week, and felt very at home in the cottage.
The cottage was very homely and had everything needed for a self catering property. The garden was perfect for sitting out in in the evening. We loved the chickens. The cottage was suitably located so that everything we wanted to visit was not too far away. Despite being warned about Wales' wet weather we had a fantastic week of sunshine. We were impressed with the milk and bread etc which was there when we arrived. There was plenty of information about Fairbourne and the local amenities. A perfect holiday home for grown ups or families. Thanks.
The cottage was excellent, very clean and nice touches such as a bottle of wine, biscuit,s milk and tea and coffee were already there for us. We all enjoyed our stay there.
Cottage was to an excellent standard, location within easy reach of great beaches, would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful cottage and lovely arrival. Found cake tins in the cupboard, amazing, next time I'll be prepared to make a cake.
Convenient access to public transport. The property itself was comfortable, warm and very well equipped. Also there was sufficient cleaning materials and equipment to allow us to leave the cottage how we found it. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.
The Cottage was lovely, well decorated, warm and welcoming and there was a welcome of essentials. The bed linen and towels were clean and of very good quality. We had a nice, peaceful week.
Quality furnishings, comfy beds, milk, bread and wine on arrival, cleaning at the end of our first week. Digital radios and video recorder were great. Decent selection of books.
Great location and fantastically equipped cottage.
The accommodation was lovely with plenty of living space and decent size bedrooms. The welcome provisions were very good too. A short walk to the beach and lots of walks nearby to explore, or even a train service up or down the coast meant the car hardly moved from the parking space.
The amount of games and books left in the property are excellent for families.
A well appointed cottage with a good garden in a good location.
Railway Cottage is a lovely, well equipped property in a beautiful setting.
The location was good, lots of lovely walks and the shops provided everything in Fairbourne. Stunning scenery, very warm and a very comfortable cottage. All amenities provided for. Bottle of wine, milk and bread on arrival. Also, sugar, coffee and tea. Extremely nice welcome. We were very happy all round and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.
The finishing touches always make a difference, we received milk and bread on our arrival, plastic plates and bowls so we didn't have to worry about the children breaking the crockery, washing up liquid and hand soap. These little things make an excellent property become a superlative one. Excellent value for a spacious property. The Location was very accessible for the whole of Snowdonia, but if you didn't want to travel far there are some excellent places right on your doorstop.
