Ysgubor Reviews

The listing said towels were provided so we didnt take any, luckily the Georgia sent towels round apologetically, which we were very thankful for, as it was an error on the Sykes site, owners had told Sykes towels were no longer provided but website not updated. Catastrophy averted but couldve been a huge problem being a group of 9. Lovely house with everything else we could need, the children would entertain themselves playing hide and seek it was that large. Wood burners were lovely and the huge dining table seated everyone and was lovely to sit all together whilst the fire was on and eat together. Everyone loved the hot tub especially the children and it was never any trouble to get it topped up when the children were splashing water everywhere. Short drives to Bala and Barmouth and the town of Dolgellau, which was very pretty and quaint with an array of shops and pubs. The fish and chip shop there is great, the fish was amazing.
