Cysgod Y Garn Reviews

Emma
From the start, we could tell this place had something special about it. We kicked back on the outdoor furniture after a long 5-hour drive, feeling pretty relaxed already. The owners greeted us with a delicious traditional Welsh Bara Brith-absolutely lovely. The views from the property were breathtaking, really adding to the charm. The house had loads of characterand the bedrooms were spacious and comfy. Plus, the modern pod with bifold doors and Jacuzzi was just perfect for unwinding. Really enjoyed our stay!

We had a fantastic time at Cysgod Y Garn! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home. Clear directions and good communication made everything simple. The house was spot on-spacious bedrooms and really comfy beds. The kitchen was well-stockedand we loved relaxing outside on the garden furniture, especially with the lovely weather. The hot tub was a real treatand parking for 4-5 cars was no problem at all. Would definitely recommend it!
Emma Clarke
We absolutely loved the location and the lovely property. It was a fantastic holiday for our whole family, from little ones to seniors. There's so much to explore nearby and Lake Bala is just stunning. Just a heads up-bring your own milk, tea, or coffee since none are supplied on arrival, although a yummy cake was a nice touch! Also, don't forget to pack kitchen roll and extra toilet rolls because only one of each was provided. Overall, a great stay with just a few little things to remember!
