“A lovely barn conversion in a very scenic location with amazing views from the hot tub on the patio, being a family group of ten with three dogs it was perfect for my wifes 60th birthday get together.”

Having the owners next door and being so friendly it made the weekend all the better. Thankyou

Charlotte October 2024

“We spent a fabulous weekend here to celebrate my husband’s 40th.”

There were 5 adults, 4 children under 5 and 2 dogs. We had so much space, everything had been thought about and we didn’t want for anything. The kitchen was brilliantly well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the kids loved the huge bath. We also all enjoyed the hot tub - the views are spectacular and the photos don’t do it justice! Plus the owners are so friendly. If you’re looking for somewhere for a big get together then this is the one. It’s also close by to some absolutely beautiful places.

- Charlotte, October 2024
Kate September 2024

“What a fabulous place.”

We recently stayed here for a week (4 generations and 2 dogs!). Plenty of room for everyone. The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Loads of kitchen equipment, 2 brand new TVs and the hot tub with it's marvellous view was really great. The hosts were lovely and helpful too. Would love to go back!

- Kate, September 2024
Samantha August 2024

“Absolutely fabulous time at the property.”

Our children all loved the working farm element just next door and we as adults, enjoyed it too. Fabulous hosts, very inclusive and helpful. An absolute pleasure to stay here. We will definitely be back!

William August 2024

“We had a lovely holiday, the house is well equipped and comfortable.”

It is in a quiet location and you will not be disturbed by any traffic noise. The hot tub was a lovely place to relax and enjoy the views of the valley. The owners were on hand and they made a lovely Welsh Bara Brith to welcome us into their property. Would definitely stay here again if we wanted this part of Wales - thank you.

- William, August 2024
Natasha August 2024

“Our week stay was perfect, so much room for us all.”

The house had everything we needed and more. The surroundings are beautiful and makes the stay so relaxing.

Thanks for a great holidays for us all.

“Stopped recently as our first family cottage getaway, didn’t know what to expect & we were all presently surprised!”

We were met with a warm greetings from both our hosts (& a tasty Bara Brith!), nothing was too much trouble. The grandkids loved being invited to collect eggs from the chickens, and playing ball with the dog. The house was beautiful, as was the local walks. Would definitely book again in the future, can’t wait! From Rose, Rob & the kids & grandkids … all 11 of us!

- Rosemary, January 2024

Thanks for your review. We look forward to having you all back at some point to help with those chickens and to exercise the dogs. Property Owner

The owners were so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much bother for them. The views are absolutely stunning! The house came equipped with everything that we needed and we enjoyed lots of family game nights around the large table in the living room with the log burner on. Would highly recommend this holiday home to any large families.

Corinne June 2023

“Simply stunning location.”

Perfect barn conversion for our family of 10 adults, one baby and three dogs. Hot tub brilliant. Lots to see and do nearby but could just stay there all week looking at the views! Lovely, friendly owners. Thank you so much for such a great week!

- Corinne, June 2023

Glad to hear you had a great time. See you again soon. Property Owner
Sian May 2023

“The photos did not do this property justice - the location was spectactularly beautiful!”

The barn was very well equipped and even with 11 of us + 3 dogs we still had plenty of space. Mr & Mrs Jones were so friendly, accommodating and helpful - they could not have made us feel more welcome offering us fresh eggs and advice on where to go. The only very small negative would be the mattresses on the beds could do with replacing. But a small price to pay for such a wonderful holiday house / location.

- Sian, May 2023

Thanks for the review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Leanne May 2023

Take us back to wales! Words can’t really describe how awesome this place is. No picture will give it justice. A wow when driving up to it, A welcoming homely feel as soon as you walk through the door, extremely Clean throughout and there is everything you need. The views are stunning. The well maintained garden and inviting hot tub makes it feel even more magical. Both adults and kids had the best of times and what a memory to Cherish.

“The place was exactly as described in the listing.”

It was beautiful, clean and had everything you could’ve needed. The views of the surrounding countryside were amazing and everyone really enjoyed them in the hot tub. The owners were super friendly and were very helpful. 11 of us stayed here for a family 50th wedding anniversary celebration and we all had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this place and hope to be able to come back soon.

- Sian, April 2023

“Another wonderful stay at Ysgubor Pwlliago.”

It makes for a perfect place for all of the family to come together. There were 8 adults in total plus 2 dogs. All found the house very comfortable, beautifully decorated and had everything we need. The owners are beyond helpful if you need anything during your stay and we loved meeting their new puppies. Thank you for another perfect holiday.

- Jade, November 2022
David October 2022

“This is a lovely warm holiday house on a working sheep farm great for a friends reunion across all ages.”

Lots to do locally and plenty of good walking. The owners are very friendly- the kids loved seeing the new born collie puppies - and we welcomed the emphasis on recycling when using the well equipped kitchen.

- David, October 2022
Sarah September 2022

“We had a wonderful holiday as a group of six adults and three dogs.”

The barn has the most amazing views and fantastic walks right from the door step. The owners are lovely and welcomed us on the first day with some cake which was delicious with a cup of tea. Highly recommended

- Sarah, September 2022
Keith September 2022

“An absolute gem of a place.”

So quiet and peaceful. Everything about our stay was perfect. From the cake we were given on arrival to the utter pleasure we all had in the hot tub. The rooms were well furnished and we all slept well. The kitchen was spacious and so well fitted with pots, utensils, cutlery and China. A perfect way to celebrate our golden wedding with the family. Thank you- we will be back

- Keith, September 2022
Kathryn July 2022

“Amazing location, wonderful home for our stay and superb owners who added so much to our experience.”

- Kathryn, July 2022
Martin July 2022

“Really easy booking and very comfortable with what felt like everything we needed for cooking and washing etc.”

Perhaps need to update some of the places to visit, the Craft Centre near Lake Vrynwer was not as open as the information suggested. Overall a fantastic week, enjoyed by everyone!

Louisa July 2022

“We had such an amazing stay, the views were unbeatable, the property had ...”

We had such an amazing stay, the views were unbeatable, the property had everything you needed, lovely hosts, and we will definitely be returning x

- Louisa, July 2022
Denise June 2022

“Holiday accommodation was fantastic, owners were the best we have ever dealt with.”

We all had a fantastic holiday and will book again. However Sykes customer services were not so good over the last two years. They will blame the pandemic but we were all living through it, they should have had a better process of dealing with customer queries.

- Denise, June 2022
Lauren May 2022

“The cottage where we stayed was absolutely beautiful - the photos really did not do it justice.”

It was superbly clean and cosy, ideal for the big group of us and our 3 dogs. Not to mention that the owners went above and beyond to help us when my car broke down on the first day! We accidentally left a few bits behind and they sent it straight to us. The owners and their 3 collies are a delight and we enjoyed getting to meet their dogs too! The hot tub was cleaned every morning for us and each bedroom/bathroom was stunning. Our needs were catered for perfectly too, especially considering we also had two babies with us. We would happily stay here again, hopefully next time with a more reliable car to take us home! When we return to Wales we would definitely seek to stay in this property again. There were lots of walking trails and sights nearby, and plenty of excursions only a short drive away. My only advice would be to bring as much food with you as you can, as the nearest supermarkets are about a 30 minute drive away. Thanks again for a perfect holiday, it was our first time in Wales and we will definitely be back!

- Lauren, May 2022
Matthew May 2022

“It’s a great barn conversion with a great location.”

The hosts are brilliant we went with the whole extended family including 2 young children. One which loves tractors so the farmer took him out on the tractor to go feed the sheep it’s something which is over and above. The facilities within the barn are great from the kitchen appliances to the space within the living areas and also the bedrooms. Would definitely recommend and also return.

- Matthew, May 2022
Gillian April 2022

“Amazing views, position and house couldn’t ask for more.”

Owner and family were exceptional and aloud my grandchildren to participate in some farm activities which they loved. Mrs Jones baked for us on arrival and they were both very friendly. Thank you so much .

- Gillian, April 2022

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to see you back on the farm in the future. Property Owner

Tracy April 2022

“Lovely stay.”

The homeowners were very helpful with all of our enquiries. If you like to get away from it all this is the ideal place to go. The house is great with amazing views. Only downside was the WiFi was almost non existent, but were told that they are upgrading it soon.

- Tracy, April 2022

Dear Tracy, thank you for your review. Yes, finally, fibre broadband has arrived in the valley and it is being installed next week. We hope to have a much faster connection very soon! Property Owner

Rachael December 2021

“What more could we have asked for in a Christmas Holiday Home.”

This property was perfect so well thought out and designed. The kitchen was a cooks dream with every piece of equipment needed to feed 12 people. Having 2 living spaces was ideal with 4 adults and 7 children. There was plenty of space. The hot tub is a fantastic bonus. Mr and Mrs Jones we’re fantastic hosts and we’re available if needed and had really thought through there holiday rental. I’ve never visited a holiday rental where everything just worked we all genuinely couldn’t find a negative. The setting is idyllic with some amazing walks and views. We aim to return again in the summer time to be able to make full use of the surrounding walks. I will forever recommend visiting here it was perfect.

- Rachael, December 2021

Thank you for your kind words and we are glad you found the place the perfect place to stay for Christmas. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

Kayleigh November 2021

“No heating or electricity on the friday and saturday morning or afternoon.”

Wasn't able to use the hot tub due to this. Had to cook and boil water on the fire in the back room. Not a good experience at all

- Kayleigh, November 2021

We are sorry that Storm Arwen caused unprecedented and widespread power cuts across the UK to millions of people, including most of North Wales, during your visit. We worked hard to ensure you had enough fuel for both log burners (including the wood-powered stove in the snug), a generator supplying electricity as soon as we realised the power was off on Saturday morning (albeit like most generators, it is not powerful enough to heat a large body of water like a hot tub which, you did not mention, was fine and in full use on Friday evening) and cooked your party a large meal on the Saturday evening with very little thanks from your party. Property Owner
Albert November 2021

“Our second visit to this wonderful accommodation with no problems except perhaps the weak WiFi signal which takes a bit of getting used to!”

This was a family group of 11 with dogs who all fitted in perfectly and had a fantastic weeks holiday.

- Albert, November 2021
Jade November 2021

“My whole family (8 adults in total) all enjoyed a wonderful stay at Ysgubor Pwlliago.”

The area was stunning, the cottage is extremely spacious and has excellent facilities on offer. The hot tub was brand new prior to our arrival and was a must at the end of each day beneath the stars looking out at the valley. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and made excellent recommendations during our entire stay. The walk out of the house and up to the reservoir was beautiful and a perfect morning walk for our two spaniels - watch out for all the pheasants! While they do tell you you are on a working farm, it may need to be made clearer that you are in the hub of the working farm with the farmers house, working dog kennels and equipment around you. While this wasn’t an issue during our stay as we quite liked to see the ongoing work, it was a bit of a surprise to us as the listing did make it seem as if we were in a more remote location.

- Jade, November 2021
Catherine September 2021

“Had such an amazing week at the holiday house in September 2021, a much needed break.”

The owners were very welcome, around when you needed them, yet left you to your own devices. The house itself and the views were beyond what we expected, highly recommend!

- Catherine, September 2021
Victoria July 2021

“Absolutely wonderful week at Y Sgubor Pwilliago.”

On arrival the house was spotlessly clean, beds really comfortable with high quality bedlinen and large soft towels. We were late and had arranged an Asda food delivery but our hosts had taken this in for us and packed away all the chilled items in the fridge. The house is even bigger than it looks in the pictures and is a stunning barn conversion. Everything you could possibly need is provided in the kitchen and the hot tub was fantastic and well appreciated by all of us. Mr and Mrs Jones were extremely friendly and helpful, the house is situated on a working farm so you are not completely isolated but also at the top of a big hill so there are stunning views. Plenty of room for all of us, we would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone for a really lovely holiday.

- Victoria, July 2021
Beryl July 2021

“Y sgabor is in the most beautiful location.”

Just what was needed after the year my family have had!!! Peace and quiet...green fields, hills with trees and the sound of birdsong and bleating of the sheep. Mr and Mrs Jones were friendly, informative,there when we needed them and not otherwise. I can't recommend their cottage highly enough. Wonderful relaxing time and I won't mention that great hot-tub !!! Thank you

- Beryl, July 2021
Charlotte April 2021

“Fantastic holiday accommodation in a idyllic spot.”

Highly recommended for those that want to get away from it all and enjoy outdoor pursuits.

- Charlotte, April 2021
Sharon October 2020

“All lovely except the double bunk made the double bed unusable as the single above is too low everything else was lovely def recommend great cottage.”

Nearest shop /pub at least 5 miles supermarket 9miles Asda lovely quiet retreat.

- Sharon, October 2020
Andrew September 2020

“The hot tub was broken.”

We only booked the cottage because it had a hot tub, so we were disappointed that it wasn't working properly. Apart from that, the cottage was lovely and location has beautiful views. We had a nice stay overall

- Andrew, September 2020

We are very sorry that not all the features of the hot tub were not working on this occasion. One of the two pumps broke during lockdown and we struggled to have it repaired quickly due to a backlog created by the extended closure of our repairs people. We can confirm that we have now successfully managed to have the hot tub repaired and hope to see you again soon. We are glad you managed to enjoy your stay otherwise. Property Owner
Anthony August 2020

“Excellent cottage, which was spotlessly clean, and very well equipped for a large group.”

2 living rooms were ideal for our group. Large American fridge freezer in the kitchen, and another fridge in the utility room was very good. The Hot Tub was fabulous for all and our two Grandchildren loved it. The beds were all solid with good mattresses and very comfortable. We always had plenty of hot water. The owners were lovely, very friendly and they even brought their border collie puppies to show my 3 year old grandson. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Anthony, August 2020
Emily July 2020

“Great holiday location, venue was amazing and catered for a group of 9 of us.”

- Emily, July 2020
Sylvia July 2020

“Absolutely brilliant holiday.”

Facilities brilliant enough room for all. Even the beds were really comfy which is something most cottages fail on. Owners on site and rally helpful and on hand if needed. Hot tub and surroundings were picture perfect can’t wait to come back.

- Sylvia, July 2020
Lisa February 2020

“Set in the most stunning surroundings, the barn was beautiful, spacious and extremely clean!”

Mr and Mrs Smith were happy to help with any questions we had and were quick to help when we had a problem after a power cut due to a storm. Everything has been thought of with this property having a variety of books, DVD’s, games which came in handy with the weather we had. Also plenty of kitchen equipment with a lovely gesture of a welcoming cake on arrival. The hot tub was a huge bonus and was kept clean and checked every morning. Despite the weather we managed some stunning walks and enjoyed the spacious barn

- Lisa, February 2020
Roy December 2019

“Never been away at Christmas but it was brilliant to spend it all together in 1 place.”

- Roy, December 2019
Julie November 2019

“This is our third stay and as usual was a wonderful stay.”

Mr and Mrs Jones were as helpful as ever and the accommodation and surrounding area is beautiful. Cottage is very well maintained and is very well equipped.Would highly recommend the property and will visit again.Hot tub was fantastic and very clean, the views from this are amazing.If you want to get away from it all then this is perfect,but not too far away. Lake Vrnwy is worth a visit and we had a lovely meal at the local hotel.

- Julie, November 2019
Joanna November 2019

“Really lovely cottage, had great fun in the hot tub.”

Perfect size cottage for our group size of 8 adults and 2 children under 2yrs. Will probably try and find a cottage for our next friends get together somewhere a bit closer to things to do. Also not an easy place to find in the dark, would recommend people make sure to arrive in the daytime.

- Joanna, November 2019

- Ashleigh, September 2019
Maura September 2019

“This beautiful home was situated in the stunning welsh countryside.”

The home was beautiful and comfortable and was well kitted out for our short stay. The hot tub was lovely, and the house was comfortable for a large group with plenty of space. Communication was fantastic prior to arrival and during our stay. We very much look forward to staying again in the future!

- Maura, September 2019

Beds were really comfy!

Janet May 2019

James December 2018

“We had an excellent New Year break at Y'Sgubor.”

The cottage is spacious, clean and had all the facilities we needed. The views from outside are stunning and the hot tub is a great addition. We'd have no hesitation in recommending it, or coming back ourselves!

- James, December 2018
Liz November 2018

“The barn conversion was perfect for our large group of 10 adults and 3 dogs.”

Downstairs is so spacious - at one end of the building is a lovely snug area that easily seated 8 people and had a log burner which heated the whole of the downstairs. The large kitchen was fully equipped with everything for cooking meals and the large table seated all of us for breakfasts. At the other end of the building is the fantastic living room/dining room with 3 large settees and 2 chairs so plenty of space for everyone. The dining table was great for gathering around for our evening meal. Upstairs the 5 bedrooms were more than adequate for our group - 2 were ensuite and the main bathroom had a lovely roll top bath and large walk in shower. The barn is located in a very remote area at the end of a 2 mile single track lane. This suited us perfectly as it was lovely to get away from everything and be surrounded by beautiful countryside. The views were stunning and it was great to sit in the hot tub and and look across at the hills and relax. We walked the 2 miles back to the village and enjoyed a couple of hours in The New Inn where we were welcomed by the locals and had a sing along. I will definitely book again.

- Liz, November 2018
Matthew November 2018

“Highly recommend.”

- Matthew, November 2018

Lovely spacious property with well equipped kitchen. Beautiful views from the hot tub. Would definitely recommend

- Joanne, September 2018
Christine September 2018

“Lovely rural setting, miles from anywhere so very quiet.”

Several walks around the area straight from the cottage and many more a short car ride away. The hot tub was a real bonus but it did switch itself off a couple of times although the farmer fixed it straightaway. Highly recommended.

- Christine, September 2018
Graham August 2018

“Wow what a view!”

We had booked Y Sgubor for a family birthday celebration and are enormously thankful to Mr and Mrs Jones for preparing the cottage for us, dealing with an online delivery and for being so quick to deal with a slight problem we encountered with fencing. We cannot praise them highly enough. Looking forward to staying here again at some point.

“Ceinwen and Emrys were the best hosts.”

The cottage was fabulous and they had thought of everything- even baking a Bara Brith for our arrival! :) We had such an enjoyable and relaxing break, we didnt want to leave, there was nothing we could fault. We are already planning our next visit as we all now want to move in and stay forever!

Karen June 2018

“We had an amazing week at Yscubor.”

We met up with family there for our son’s wedding and then spent a week exploring. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. It is a great base for exploring the local area and even further afield, we went to Barmouth one day which only took us an hour. The hosts are lovely and even left us a homemade Barabrith

David April 2018

“A beautiful, clean, comfortable holiday home!”

Hot tub is always a winner with gorgeous views and the sounds of countryside. Dogs barking on the first morning from about 4am was a pain. There were nine of us that either spent 2 or 3 nights there which meant large meals and LOTS of washing up. So for us to find the dishwasher not working was frustrating but to have only one single dish cloth to wash everything was also not good. Otherwise, absolutely SPOT-ON!!

Pam March 2018

“A very well stocked cottage making self catering easy.”

Melissa December 2017

“We had the most wonderful time at y sgubor for a family Christmas.”

When we arrived we were greeted with a home made hamper of goodies and we were shown around the house and everything was explained to us. The house was absolutely perfect for what we needed and had enough space for all of us...and more! The only thing we had an issue with during the week was the beds and 50% found that they couldn’t sleep well or woke up with back ache but the other half of us were fine so I think that’s just down to Home comforts. On our last day we were snowed in and the lovely couple in the house next door were so helpful. The lovely gentleman used his tractor to hold back all of our cars from sliding down the hill (one van and 3 cars). He spent a good couple of hours helping us and it was very much appreciated. We all had an absolutely magical Christmas and will definitely be returning in another couple of years. Thank you

- Melissa, December 2017

“We loved every aspect of our stay at y sgubor, from the beautifully restored barn conversion to the stunning views from all around.”

We walked from the doorstep and were right in the heart of the countryside. We found the location excellent being close enough to enjoy Snowdonia but closer to the cottage was lovely walks, waterfalls and a town nearby with good amenities. The owners were brilliant,from the local information they sent prior to arrival to help us plan our stay to being on hand to help (without invading our privacy). We can't wait to come back, thank you for a fabulous holiday.
