Guests say

Cefn Isaf is a well-received cottage in North Wales, praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and tranquil setting. Guests appreciate the property's rural charm, comfortable furnishings, and the thoughtful touches provided by the housekeepers. While some find the access track challenging and the check-in/out times inconvenient, the majority of reviews reflect a positive experience with many looking to return.

The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotless' and well-maintained by the housekeepers. This consistent praise across reviews justifies a high score.

The location is generally appreciated for its beauty and tranquility, with guests loving the rural setting and proximity to local attractions. However, some concerns about the steep and rough access track slightly lower the score.

Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the property spacious and the furnishings comfortable. The presence of modern conveniences like super fast broadband and smart TV also contribute to a high comfort level.

Facilities are well-regarded, especially the kitchen and entertainment options. Some guests suggest improvements like better-equipped kitchens and modernised TVs, which indicates room for enhancement.

While guests mention thoughtful gestures such as fresh flowers and a warm welcome, there is not enough consistent detail about gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Cefn Isaf is a holiday house in a truly wonderful location on the Llyn Peninsula. The sandy beach of Black Rock is a mile away, accessed via a quiet country lane. Jump in the car and then onto a steam train at the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. To see some more interesting architecture head to Portmeirion which was designed by the owner's great-uncle, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.



There is so much to do in this part of North Wales. Attractions, walks, cycle routes and activities. But you might struggle to tear yourself away from the relaxing haven that is Cefn Isaf. With its bright rooms, colourful furnishings and beamed ceilings, it really is a delight to spend family time here. A year-round family family friendly holiday house!

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

    Clean. Everything you would want. Housekeepers always helpful. The only think I dont like is the drive up to the property as it’s steep and bumpy.
