Nant y Garnedd Reviews

Amazing place and spectacular view , recommended to try
Honestly the most gorgeous holiday that I have ever been on. This was my first holiday with my boyfriend and we loved the location, the hobbit hole cannot believe we even had the chance to stay in one of these! and the farm life all around us
Really excited arriving to the location. Toilet Seat seemed broken Sink knob was a screw Shower kept falling off the wall as it was help up by a rusty screw Seemed like most of the 3 days was trying to heat that Tub! Review's regarding that were correct. It was very difficult to operate, and gets to optimum temperature on day 3. Shame. We rang up to say a Sheep was dying or died 2 feet from the tub and seating area, it took someone 4 hours to come and collect it.
Beautiful relaxing retreat cosy loved hot tub to be surrounded by nature would ... Beautiful relaxing retreat cosy loved hot tub to be surrounded by nature would definitely return and thoroughly recommend
Such a cute and neat little space tidy and tucked away in a soulrefreshing spot in the hills. We both loved it and would love to come back!
Amanda
Amazing property in a stunning location. Very well equipped with everything you need, and the bed was super comfy! We loved soaking in the hot tub, admiring the views, and watching and listening to the birds and the sheep!
Michelle
Absolutely amazing holiday. We didnt want to leave! The hobbit house was above and beyond what we expected. The interior was super clean, the exterior was mind blowing from seeing red kites circling, to sheep and lambs in the field saying hello, squirrels and an abundance of wild pheasants. Also Tornado jets going up the valley. The bed was so comfortable we slept for hours, sat on the sofa watching the wildlife and not forgetting the hot tub! 7 at night and sat in a hot bath watching the stars! We met the family who run it who were brilliant. They even brought my partners birthday present up to us delivered by Amazon! Cant wait to come back for another amazing week. Thank you
Zuzanna
Beautiful place, lovely views. We had an amazing time and we'll be definitely recommending the place to others. Thank you.
Nichola
Very comfortable and warm, we loved that we had an extra heater which really came in handy on those cold mornings! Complete silence around us which we really needed, it was perfect! The hobbit hole was an amazing experience so thank you!
Adebisi
The cabin is absolutely gorgeous, I really enjoyed staying here The only suggestion I would make is maybe provide mood lighting as the lighting was a bit too bright, and a softer tone or the ability to control the brightness of the lighting would make the stay exceptional.
What a beautiful and unique place to stay. We loved the property and it's quirkiness. It was beautiful and clean and comfortable. The welcome bottle of prosecco and crisps and treats was a lovely touch! It was a little smaller than we imagined but it was fine. It would have been good to have curtains on the living room for privacy and a coffee table. It was a little more remote than we had envisaged also but a great place to stay.
What a beautiful part of Wales. The 'hobbit' cottage was amazing and loved by ourselves and our two granddaughters age 9 and 12. So peaceful and the views were magnificent. The hot tub was used daily and very relaxing in such superb surroundings. Would love to go again sometime
Sharon
Love this place. Very private . Daily visits by sheep which is fun. Hosts are very friendly and very helpful. Hot tub was amazing. We did drive past because we came from the other direction . What 3 words would have been handy. The cooker and hob was easy to use. Plates and glass ect were high end itemsbrands , which is unusual for a holiday let . it made it all the more special. We had an amazing time. Definable recommend the Hobbit Hole for any special occasion or romantic get away.
Had a fantastic stay Nice location in the Welsh mountains. Quite, peaceful and very relaxing. Lovely accommodation and great wood fired hot tub.
The whole experience was excellent, great accommodation, fantastic setting, pleasant hosts. All in all a great weeks holiday.
We loved our bank holiday weekend! Such a lovely location, we relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed a couple of relaxing evenings in the outdoor dining area and a lovely day exploring Portmerian. The hobbit house was very clean and comfortable. Hosts were incredibly helpful.
We all had an amazing time at Nant y Garnedd especially our 2 little girls they had so much fun and didnt want to come home and keep asking to go back which we plan on doing in the near future.
Amazing property and such helpful owners. Everything was perfect.

The property was as described on the website. It was very clean and tidy and is in a very peaceful area with great views. The owners were really friendly and helpful if you wanted help with anything. Would highly recommend a stay there if you want a quiet, relaxing break. Would love to stay there again sometime.
Kathryn
We had a wonderful week in a quiet, beautiful location. The property was wellmaintained and tastefully appointed. It was too chilly for us to brave the hot tub, but I imagine it would be lovely when the weather is kinder. We loved watching the red kites flying across the valley.
Lovely experience from start to finish nothing was too much trouble for the owners! Lovely welcome gift and couldnt fault our short break will definitely go again and will be happy to try other Sykes properties if they are all to this standard!
Lee-ann
Lovely property surrounded by the most beautiful views. Compact but well laid out! Great space for 2 adults with plenty outside space. Lots of extra details which make the stay perfect. Great place to visit for total relaxation. The only thing I would say is the fridge is quite small and could only fit a few days fresh food. This was not an issue for us as we were our daily and there are lovely places to eat 20 minutes away. Highly recommend for a different experience! 55
Connor
Fantastic property and facilities. Brilliantly placed for peace and quiet with great views. Help on hand with more fire wood for the tub when required, very much appreciated. Postcode will take you right to the property, just ignore the yield road markings. It appears as a one way road but it isnt.
Michael
Great please very remote, perfect place to switch off. Hosts couldnt do enough for you & were always on hand when needed. Will definitely be going back.
