Anwen sent very detailed directions to the cottage , arrived to find a very lovely clean cottage
There was tea/ coffee and milk waiting for us there which was very welcome
The cottage was short of nothing, comfortable beds , amazing bathrooms and very cosy furnishings
The garden was a gorgeous sun trap with BBQ and seating
It was extremely quiet but not far away from civilisation/ shops/ beaches
Would highly recommend and definitely want to go back soon



Idyllic piece of tranquility

We returned for yet again a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of life. So love everything about this cottage from the character features to mod cons & most of all the sound of silence and restful sleep. Entertained by the wildlife in the garden , beautiful woodpeckers , finches and the three mischievous squirrels on the bird feeder. The cottage is situated perfectly for visiting local tourist spots and close to beaches and walks. The sun shone for us making it a truly wonderful week. Oh yes not to mention Anwen is truly a warm friendly host ensuring our stay had everything we needed. We will return .

The house was spotlessly clean, appointed with high quality furnishings and made a cosy, light and cheerful base.



Definitely will be coming back here when we are next around Snowdonia

Found out about This County Cottages by mother in law as they have been there 2 years prior, they absolutely loved it as well. First impressions were amazing, didn't expect the house to have such a homely feeling. Everything was there for us to use in the kitchen to cool meals or have a BBQ. The shower was lovely and we also had a choice of a bath which my husband loved.

The bed was very comfortable, and we both had great night's sleep whilst there.
Fields filled with sheep over lambing season with an amazing view from the bedroom windows.

Anwen was lovely, she kept in contact with us and saw us in the week we stayed. She was very helpful with where to eat and go from the visitor book she had left in the living room.

We will definitely be back.

Rhos Ddu is such a beautiful place to stay. It’s the perfect place to go if you are looking for peace and quiet. The house itself is really clean and cozy which made us feel right at home. Anwen the host is very attentive and is quick to respond to messages. We loved our stay at Rhos Ddu and we will definitely be back soon for another stay! Thanks Anwen!

This was the second time staying in this lovely cottage. Great location for peace and quiet, but also for exploring the area. Anwen always friendly and welcoming and always on hand if needed. Looking forward to visiting again soon.



Excellent location to visit North Wales, Snowdonia and of course the Llyn Peninsula. Lovely house.

The position of the house is perfect being right in the countryside. It is very quiet and there are lovely dark skies at night.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a lovely garden at the back and a small patio at the front. The master bedroom and en suite are bright and the steam shower is wonderful! The kitchen diner has all of the equipment needed.

There are lots of places to eat and drink in Criccieth which is only about 4 miles away. We had a lovely week exploring the area and the weather was very kind to us.

The cottage is immaculately kept. The finishing is very good. Anwen is a very nice host. The layout appeals to both family with kids or a romantic getaway. Arriving to the cottage can be mildly challenging the first time. The kitchen is very well equipped. If you are after peace and an excellent accommodation, look no further. Very well connected to Snowdonia area.



a delightful, well-equipped cottage in a very peaceful location

Spacious, warm, comfortable cottage, lovely little garden, views of fields and mountains. Excellently equipped, much better than comparable cottages we have stayed in: a freezer in utility room, range of kitchen knives that were actually sharp enough (!), plenty of storage, good range of pans, dishes, utensils (lack of any of these can be a pain), though kitchen scissors would have been useful. Portmeirion plates, bowls etc! Hand gel in the bathrooms very welcome. Large shower with jacuzzi jet options and lighting programmes was a great novelty in the en suite. Games and puzzles and a small selection of DVDs. We really enjoyed our stay, and would like to return. It's a really good base for exploring the Lleyn peninsula, the top half of the west coast, Snowdonia of course, and the north coast and Anglesey are also within reach. Large Tescos nearby in Porthmadog, and the little town of Criccieth close by on the coast is lovely and unspoilt, with castle remains on the headland with glorious views (on a good day!). The owners, on whose farm the cottage sits, are friendly and helpful (we had a minor issue with a tap) - left us in peace, but popped round within a day to check all was well.

We have stayed at Rhos Ddu for several years. We love it because of its comfort, cleanliness, countryside location and the friendly helpfulness of Anwen, the owner. The cottage is situated off a country lane and overlooks fields and cows. There is plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. and the bedrooms are comfortable as are the modern bathrooms. Can thoroughly recommend this cottage.

A peaceful, rural location with lovely views of the mountains. Very comfortable and extremely well equipped for self catering.
The owner was very helpful and greeted us on arrival.
Well placed for visiting both Snowdonia and coastal resorts.
We had everything we needed for a very good holiday.
Would definitely return if holidaying in this area.



Excellent house in private location very close to numerous attractions and beautiful beaches.

Generally excellent condition of house apart from a few issues with some lamps around house not working and batteries in iPod dock does not work therefore no radio.Batteries in one remote corroded so could not swap over. Garden very overgrown and full of weeds. Grass not cut. Broken washing line which I tried to repair a few of the lines. These items can easily be fixed by a simple check list of items to be inspected prior to a new holidaymaker arriving. BBQ in shed but did not use because it did not look very clean. This is a shame as we were very pleased with the house cleanliness, facilities and its location and these minor items spoil the overall opinion of this property. If you put a comments book in the house requesting customers to register any items not working or items that need attention this would alleviate these comments in the review.

This is our second stay in this cottage and enjoyed just as much as the first time. Facilities within the cottage are superb. The locality is definitely rural although easy reach with a car. We love it and would certainly recommend it.



Happy holidays!

Me and my family (including one dog) had a lovely time at Rhos Ddu. The cottage is set in beautiful and peaceful area which is ideal for anyone wanting to 'get away from it all'. On arrival we were welcomed by the owner and always felt we could contact her if any problems arose. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The steam shower was a big treat for me but all the facilities were good. The dog had a garden to play in and there were no shortage of walks available down the surrounding country lanes. Looking from the windows upstairs there was farmland as far as the eye could see. We certainly intend to visit again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rhos Ddu.



A great place !

Love this place. Been coming to these cottages since 1996, firstly with two children, now just me and the wife. Always a great welcome, clean, tidy and very comfortable. The cottages are updated with regard to fixtures and fitting and redecorated regularly to maintain high standards.

This was our second stay at rhos ddu, which we initially chose for being well equipped and dog friendly, and in a rural location. Clean and comfortable, with everything you need for an extended stay, the large kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of storage. the bedrooms have excellent views of the surrounding countryside, and the kingsize bed is extremely comfortable. The en suite has a steam shower cabinet - what a treat!
We had a very relaxing time here, it's a perfect winter stay when the light is fading and activities are limited. It's so nice to come back to.
It's a short drive to criccieth and porthmadog and is a great base from which to explore the northern coastline. We would definitely return here, and would highly recommend it.
The owner, Anwen, has ensured this cottage is a perfect retreat at any time of year.



A great relaxing stay!

Me and my friend stayed here over new year, it was a lovely comfortable stay really is a home from home. Just far enough away from amenities you can relax. Plenty of places to go walking and not far from the coast.

Had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone.

Homely, comfortable and with a very high standard of modern appliances including modern integrated kitchen and diner, modern bright bathroom and separate modern bright shower room which boasts an LED steam shower with massage jets with two individual seats. The bathroom has a blackout blind to optimise the effect. Adequately suited to dogs with a nice big garden and well away from main road. Beds are comfortable. All windows are double glazed and you’ll want to go back just as we do. Just hope this review doesn’t me my chances of booking are any less because I’m being honest. It’s lovely!! In addition, Anwen or a family member will greet you shortly after arrival to see if all is well with you and to welcome you.

Excellent cottage for Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. Great location in a very quiet location on a working farm run by a lovely very helpful couple.

Thank you for your lovely comments. The peace and quiet provides very relaxing surroundings at Rhos Ddu and it is not too far off the beaten track. Within a few minutes your on the main road and can head off in any direction. Be it Snowdon or The Llyn Peninsula.

Couldn't fault it.

Thank you Stuart for leaving a review on "Up Front Reviews". It's nice to know that everything met with your approval. It was lovely to meet you both and I hope you'll retrun one day. Snowdonia has so much to offer and a warm welcome awaits you.
