We really enjoyed our weekend. We went to get away from fireworks and peace was exactly what we got. Fields to all sides. Anwen came to say hi and made some suggestions about local attractions. We loved our stay and will go back again. Highly recommend.

We've stayed at Rhos Country Cottages many times over the last 20 or so years and we've never been disappointed. This time we stayed at Rhos Ddu, the smaller of the cottages and our favourite. The cottage is well maintained and the owners regularly update/refurbish the properties. There are two modern bath/shower rooms so we have one each which is lovely. The bed is really comfortable and we always have a good night's sleep in the solitude of the countryside. It's lovely to see the friendly cows in the field opposite when you pull up the blinds first thing in the morning. The kitchen/diner is large and well equipped, our favourite room.

The cottage is perfectly positioned to enjoy Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula. Beautiful quiet beaches for walking, the mountains and forests. Some excellent pubs in the vicinity too, although you would need to drive or take a taxi.

The owners are very friendly and always come to say hello.

Thank you for another lovely stay, we will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rhos Ddu it’s a very well appointed and well equipped cottage and its own beautiful garden up a private drive. It’s was very peaceful and secluded. The cottage is in an ideal position for getting to lots of places. It was very good for our young Labrador dog too as it’s so safe and there are several walks and beaches for swimming in not too far away. He enjoyed watching the cows and the sheep nearby too.

The owner Anwen was very friendly and helpful. She left us to our own devices whilst always being a phone call or text message away if we needed anything

The cottages was everything that you might need for an enjoyable holiday in north Wales

We had a lovely stay at Rhos Ddu, which was very clean and well equipped. Anwen had kindly provided all the basics needed - tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, washing up liquid, hand sanitiser, foil, cling film, cleaning materials etc. and a carton of milk. The property was lovely and warm, the master bedroom was very comfortable and the garden was sunny and pleasant to sit in. We would definitely like to return to Rhos cottages again.

Couldn't have asked for a better holiday, it makes you feel at home straight away, we were able to bring our well behaved animals. Over our stay there were lambs in the field next to us which was amazing, very quiet area.
Cannot wait to go back for our next holiday.

Again, another lovely stay at Rhos Dhu. As always the cottage was clean, comfortable and warm. Lovely welcome from Anwen, our perfect host. Spent each day on various beaches then late afternoon and early evening sat in the garden, as the weather was perfect. Stanley, our dog, loves it here. Would highly recommend all of Anwen's cottages.

We had a wonderful stay at Rhos Ddu with our two dogs. The location of the cottage was excellent - in the "middle of nowhere" but within easy reach (by car) of Criccieth and the environs. The cottage was clean and tidy and the owner, Anwen, was very pleasant and helpful. It was a great base to explore North Wales, which is a great part of the country. We recommend buying bird seed/fat balls for the bird table and bird feeders, as we got a lovely display of blue tits, coal tits, great tits and nuthatches - along with the occasional couple of squirrels! The only "issue" (and it wasn't really an issue at all) was the slow internet speed - but this is expected, I guess, out in the countryside. I would highly recommend Rhos Ddu for your next holiday.

It was our second time staying here and certainly not our last.
Very much home from home with everything you would need.
The host is always at the end of phone and responds to messages quickly.
Remote and quiet, the silence is almost deafening- it was just what we wanted.
We cannot recommend Rhos Ddu highly enough

We had a fantastic week at Rhos Ddu. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. Everything in the cottage was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated - the shower was fantastic! We had a warm welcome from Anwen who was on hand nearby in case we needed her.
It was great to be able to do lovely walks along the quiet lanes from the doorstep and the cottage was in a great position for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and beyond.
We would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely stay here again if we head back to this area for a holiday.

We stayed at Rhos Ddu with our two spaniels, Betsy and Millie who loved the cottage with its large garden. The cottage a traditional detached Welsh house with a modern well equipped kitchen and granite work tops leading to a separate area for dining where you can look out onto the lovely Welsh landscape. The traditional cosy sitting room is perfect after a day at the beach (only a short drive away). The master bedroom has a modern en-suite with a "state of the art" shower which we found great fun to use!
The second double bedroom is also comfortably furnished and another separate modern bathroom can also be found off the landing at the top of the stairs.
Anwen the owner of the cottage makes sure everything is spotless and gives you a warm welcome. We will certainly book Rhos Ddu again if we visit North Wales.

Our stay at Rhos Ddu was delayed from last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions, and we were looking forward to our stay after so long. We were not disappointed. The cottage is in a beautiful quiet location and is marvellously appointed. The two double bedrooms, en-suite and bathroom suited all our needs very well. While the kitchen had everything you could image having in your own kitchen, let alone one for a holiday. With a young grandson with us for our first week, access to a washing machine and a large garden to run around were especially welcome.
The location is excellent for touring around the area, with a short ride to Criccieth and Porthmadog, and access to a nearby trunk road for trips further afield. We only tried a few places to eat locally, yet more were on offer, so anyone taking a welcome break from cooking would be well supplied.
We would be very happy to return to Rhos Ddu again, and would hope that the weather was as good as during our visit this year.



Lovely place, will definitely be back.

An absolute gem of a place, run by lovely people. The cottage is set in beautiful countryside and is located perfectly for all activities...never more than a 30 min drive for everything we wanted to do. The cottage itself is clean and tidy, and really well appointed with anything you might need. Anwen was very kind and helpful, making the whole experience top notch. You must stay here!

We were delighted with Rhos Ddu it was clean, spacious, well maintained and had all the facilities we could wish for. Anwen was particularly helpful and visited us twice during our stay. The location is great albeit with some narrow lanes around and about. Our neighbours were a herd of dairy cows and their calves and a flock of sheep. A lovely part of the world and definitely somewhere we would stay again should the opportunity arise. No hesitation giving this property 5 stars.

Rhos Ddu is a lovely spacious cottage with great facilities, the kitchen is very well equipped, bathrooms are both modern and the two bedrooms are comfy with gorgeous views. We also enjoyed making use of the large garden and barbecue. The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring numerous attractions and beautiful beaches in North Wales. Anwen was super helpful and friendly, we would 100% recommend and hope to return in the near future.

My wife and I have stayed in this cottage twice and enjoyed both times. It's pleasantly situated with one adjacent property, very quiet, surrounded by farmland. There's plenty of parking space. Its private garden has a patio, a lawn and the usual equipment. Inside, it's comfortably furnished with a good kitchen - the Portmeirion crockery shows that nice attention to detail which characterises the fittings.
There are lots of good things to do nearby. There are pleasant walks right from the door, for example, and my jogging on the lanes round about was largely undisturbed by traffic.
Our children used to play on the beach in Criccieth ( about 3 miles away ) but now we caught the train there and made trips along the beautiful coast to Harlech and Barmouth and, once, just to the first stop along, Porthmadog, from where we walked back along the coast to Criccieth.

The house is in a very quiet and peaceful location surrounded by beautiful countryside, with just the cows and sheep for company.
This is a lovely setting and ideal place to relax and unwind and not too far to travel to Criccieth/Porthmadog. We had a great holiday could not have been better and our thanks to Anwen who made us so welcome. The facilities are excellent and everything you could want is provided, super shower. The cottage certainly lives up to the 5 star rating and you could not wish for a better place to stay.

Rhos Ddu is an excellent cottage in a lovely peaceful location, ideal as a base for exploring the Lleyn Peninsular and North Wales.
Whilst you can enjoy the rural location you are only a few miles from the main routes, the best of both worlds!
The cottage is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, spacious, very clean and tidy, a home from home, and very relaxing.
Anwen and her husband couldn't be better hosts, were always keen to help if necessary, but were not intrusive at all.
We have also stayed more than once at nearby Hendre (3 bedrooms), another of the Rhos Country Cottages, which we also loved,
We would not hesitate to recommend any of Anwen's properties and would certainly stay again if visiting North Wales.

Having decided to stay-cation this year and having had several years of family holidays at Rhos Ddu in the 70s, my mum and I were delighted with our holiday at Rhos Ddu this year.
The farmhouse/cottage has been beautifully updated and extended, with a new kitchen and modernised bathroom and ensuite, since we were last there 40 years ago, but it still retains many of the old features that I remembered and that bring such warmth, familiarity and cosiness. The cottage was clean and tidy everywhere and felt very safe, which is vital in these Covid times.
We had forgotten how beautiful the views were and how clear the skies at night. We were also very lucky with the weather!
It was really fabulous to see Anwen again after so many years and reminisce about the passing years and we could not have asked for a warmer welcome from her. We very much look forward to future visits and catching up with Anwen again.

A comfortable stay in what is most definitely a 5 star property. Although we were pre warned by the owners that due to covid 19 certain items would be removed including that there would not be a welcome hamper-however, a vase of flowers and a bottle of wine would have been appreciated instead.



Anwen replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking time to do a review and for all your kind words. You were so blessed with beautiful weather to enjoy Snowdonia at its best. Hope you'll return one day, with Covid19 being history, when we can all move around freely without social distancing. Anwen

This cottage was spotlessly clean and well stocked. Port meirion crockery was a pleasant surprise. Comfy beds. Lovely modern bathrooms and powerful showers. Secluded location with one other cottage next door, but not encroaching on each other’s privacy at all. A delight to wake to cows in one field and sheep in another, right outside the windows. Very central location to visit snowdonia/beaches/Anglesey. Very peaceful and faultless hospitality and communication from our host Anwen. Would happily return.

The property is in a great, quiet location and yet only about 10 minutes from Criccieth. The property was of a high standard, very clean and well presented. Out of the master bedroom we could see sheep from one window and cows and calves from another which we thoroughly enjoyed. Anwen was a great and welcoming host and we would highly recommend staying at the Rhos Cottages.

This was my second stay at Rhos Ddu and once again Anwen was the perfect hostess. The cottage is always sparkling clean on arrival. There are fields all around with sheep and cows so the views, particularly from the main bedroom, are lovely. It is a very peaceful area with few local houses and minimal traffic. Anwen and her husband are extremely friendly and helpful. I intend to return very soon.

We have stayed at Rhos Cottages on a number of occasions this being the first time at Rhos Ddu.
As always it failed to disappoint us.
The cottage was beautifully presented, VERY clean and had every thing that we needed as a family.
The location of this property and the other Rhos Cottages is simply Idillic with stunning surroundings and views.
The owner Anwen always gives you a warm welcome, an extra special touch being a birthday banner hanging in the kitchen upon entering the property.
We have already re-booked for next year and can't wait to return for yet another relaxing break in beautiful North Wales.
You are not to far away from the attractions within the snowdonia and surrounding areas.
We would highly reccommend staying at Rhos Cottages.

We very much enjoyed our recent stay in Rhos Ddh cottage and found it an excellent base from which to visit the Llyn peninsula, Caernarfon, Harlech, the railways from Porthmadog, Portmerion village and of course lovely Criccieth itself which is only 4 miles from the cottage.
The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. The only sound was an owl hooting!
Booking the holiday was easy and we were able to alter the normal start date which was very helpful. If we stay in the area again we will most certainly stay here if we can.

Rhos Ddu is a lovely cosy cottage in a scenic and rural location. The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean with a nice big garden which was handy for our dog.

Rhos Ddu is within easy reach of Criccieth, and many other places of interest, including some beautiful beaches on the Llyn Peninsula, most of which are dog friendly.

We would definitely recommend this cottage and would certainly stay there again.

Rhos Ddu is a delightful cottage with peace and quiet and perfect views to the surrounding mountains. The cottage is extremely well equipped and comfortable, the beds extremely comfortable, and the garden is private and a good size for young children to let off steam! This part of Wales is absolutely marvellous for family holidays, and the nearby seaside town Criccieth is lovely. Anwen was a helpful and welcoming host, and we would definitely like to return sometime.

We hired two adjacent houses whose large safe gardens were ideal for our six young grandchildren and two dogs . A highlight was seeing a huge hare in a nearby field. Diolch

Very peaceful location, yet only a few miles from beach, shops and places to eat. The cottage was a lovely mix of old and new furniture and the beds very comfortable. Special mention for the owners, who are kind, friendly and very welcoming. Lots to do in the area or just stay put and watch the cows in the field at the front of the cottage. A most enjoyable week and we would thoroughly recommend.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
