The only issue we faced was the WiFi connection. But it didn't affect our stay.

Our stay at the Barn was absolutely wonderful. It was like a home away from home, comfortable and clean. Jane was very helpful and was just a phone call away. It's so close to the beach which has the most beautiful sunsets with unspoilt snand and not many tourists. We were welcomed by Jane with lovely Welsh cakes and milk in the fridge, ready for a cup of tea. The games room is the cherry on top. If you don't feel like going out, you have a games room right next to you. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering.

Absolutely nothing, Ystumgwern has to be the best venue my Son & I have stayed at in North Wales, hand down!

There's too much to list in such a short paragraph but you wont be disappointed if you stay. Jane the host is superb, generous & considerate as well as highly informative. We had milk, Welsh teacakes & Barra Brith in our welcome pack to the property. All the fixtures, fittings, crockery etc are of the highest quality & we had no issues whatsoever. Although we didn't have the greatest weather, the central heating set to 20-21 degrees was more than adequate for both of us "just right" as my son pointed out. The Wi-Fi for Rural Wales is very good, no buffering when watching content in the evening via online streaming services such as Netflix or Disney+ on our own devices. The accommodation, Sgubor was simply stunning, the pictures that I took just do not do it justice & my son commented "Daddy this place is so nice, can we live here!" I concurred without question. Although a working farm we didn't hear any machinery in the early hours of late in the evening, you do however notice "animal smells" when outside but nothing too bad at all!

The weather. Not to self: Must go earlier in the season next time.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The best we have ever stayed in to date. It was lovely and clean, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. There is a laundry room, a drying room, an amazing games room (pool table, table tennis, board games, books, DVDs and much more). There is an outside eating area, unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind enough for us to use it. The hostess (Jane) was perfect, nothing was too much, when it became obvious that my wife would struggle with the stairs leading to the flat (very bad Arthritis in her foot) Jane very quickly moved us to a ground floor flat. I would have no hesitation to book this accommodation again. Thank you Jane for making our stay so enjoyable.

Nothing really. The weather could have been kinder. The oven is gas, as I am not used to that found bit different to know what temperature to use. So ate out more, which wasn't a problem

This holiday flat exceeded our expectations. It was lovely and clean, the crockery was Denby not just plain white and looks new. It was really nicely decorated. They have thought of most things with a laundry room, great games room with a pool table and table tennis and board games. If the weather had been kinder there's an outside eating area with option to use a barbecue. The host was really friendly, would be very happy to stay there again. The shower was the best shower I have used in either a hotel or holiday home. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable. There's some nice eating areas within a few minutes in the car.

The phone network wasn't great, so couldn't get in contact with anyone. But WiFi is available at the property.

The location was very peaceful. There is a game room that facilitates many indoor games. The owner of the property - Jane, is a wonderful person, very helpful and welcoming. Loved our stay here, would absolutely love to visit again.

An amazing place. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and tidy. We were greeted with fresh flowers, and some delicious Welsh snacks. We had everything we needed in the apartment. The owners were so friendly and they were always willing to help you. Beautiful views and a great area for exploring.

Nothing to dislike

I met the owner, Jane, at the property and she was warm and very friendly from the very first words she spoke. The property itself was homely, spacious, well equipped and warm. If there were any problems Jane's family were nearby but I didn't need any help. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well every night. Parking was at the property. Being on a working farm it was fun watching the animals and some were real characters. It also had great views of the local countryside, down towards the beach. Jane provided me with some books on suggested walks and recommended the Precipice Walk, Dolgellau which I did and had some great views. I used the property to explore Southern Snowdonia, the old tin mines, Portmeirion and the Mach Loop. I loved the nearby town of Barmouth, its beach and the Mawddach Estuary - I wish I had longer to explore it more. I would stay here again and recommend the property for singles and couples.

The only thing I would mention is the room we had was up a flight of outdoor steps which were beautiful but if you struggle on your legs you might want a room downstairs.

We had a warm welcome, the lady who owns it was very friendly. They have cow’s there which I loved, there was no noise, even though we knew other people were staying it’s very quiet and you can come and go as you like. Accommodation was comfortable, clean, beautiful bed, everything you need is there, all we needed to bring was clothes, toiletries and food. I forgot my hairdryer but there was one supplied. There is heating, a fire, constant hot water, lovely shower and bath. The kitchen is finished to a high standard with oven, stove, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The area is great for lots of trips to nearby beaches and towns. Lots of little villages nearby and pubs, restaurants. This was a great escape for us.

Wi-fi

JANE was a very welcoming host ,we were very lucky with the weather but on dodgy days we played in the games room which was very well equipped. There is a seaside about a mile or so called Barmouth which the children would love. Scenery lovely.

Very clean and tidy.

rain could have stopped on Thursday!! nothing could be improved with the property

excellent games room with so many different things to do, very cosy gas fire and central heating, lovely host, couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming

Stayed in October 2021

Relaxing, quiet,, very clean, comfy, modern while still retaining the period features. Games room is a bonus, when it's raining or you just want to hang out on site. Host is friendly. Plenty of parking space. Great as a base if you want to explore beautiful Wales.

we liked the tranquil location. the beds were comfortable and we slept well. it was a 30 min walk to the beach but well worth the exercise; it didnt take long to get to any beach in this area by car either. jane was lovely and left a afternoon snack, with tea, coffee and milk in the fridge; which is a very kind thing to do. everything you need for self catering was provided and all equipment was in good quality & in good condition. washers & dryer available. games room, benches & tables outside, small park area, bbq's available also. would recommend a stay

Stayed in September 2021

Location was a little out of the way and quite a trek to the beach but central for most things by car.

Clean and comfortable with beautiful scenery during our drives. The games room was a god send as the children used it daily.

Stayed in August 2021

Superb accommodation in a beautiful location. Jane and her son were fabulous hosts and everywhere was spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed that is was a working farm. It is super safe for kids and an excellent base for exploration of the coast and mountains
