The cottage was extremely cozy and comfortable. Everything you need for a good stay was there. Clean and lovingly decorated. The hostess was very attentive and responds very quickly and friendly to questions. Also very pleasant was the possibility to charge the car at the cottage. In short, highly recommended for your pleasant stay in Porthmadog!

A very warm, cosy retreat in a stunning location

This is a really cosy, warm cottage, situated just a short walk from a lovely beach. We were made to feel very welcome straight away and the fresh flowers, milk and welsh cakes were a lovely welcoming touch. The cottage has everything you need and plenty of maps and guidebooks to help you make the most of your stay, whatever the weather. Perfectly located for exploring Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula... we will definitely look to return!

We enjoyed our stay at Morfa Bychan. The cottage was comfortable and very clean. A great spot for exploring the magical Llyn peninsular. Branwen was an attentive host and responded immediately to our requests.

Just perfect !

A beautiful cottage. Well equipped with everything you would need. Branwen the owner has made it so comfy and cosy with lots of finishing touches . There is plenty of room upstairs and downstairs and the kitchen and bathroom are modern and bright. Look out for the rabbits and the squirrels in the garden and you will also hear the owls. We had lovely and relaxing stay....just wished we had booked a longer stay.

A wonderful cottage in a beautiful location

The cottage and garden were even nicer and a bit bigger than the photographs and reviews suggested. It was near many beautiful walks through woods and along sandy paths to stunningly beautiful and deserted sandy coves, or to Borth y Gest with a bistro and cafe. (They do get very busy and The Moorings was booked up well ahead, so we didn't eat there. Very handy shop in the village for most supplies and a fish and chip shop too. The weather was quite wet and sometimes cool when we were there (in August) but it really didn't matter, lots of good books and outdoors many beautiful beaches, mountains, small towns and castles to visit. Branwen was there if needed and replied promptly to texts but respected out space and left us to enjoy our holiday.
