Beautiful house with everything you need for a quiet break in Wales. Very clean and extremely comfortable . Plenty of hot water to use after a long day walking . Great for dogs as easy access to the garden from the large kitchen . Owners live next door and will assist you with anything you need .

Talafon is first class. All the furniture, bedding, kitchen equipment etc. are all high quality. The location is superb with beautiful views. The owners, Christine and Gareth were very welcoming. This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

Immaculately presented, comfortable and spacious cottage with absolutely everything you might need. Friendly owners live next door but the cottage is very private and has a lovely secluded garden - perfect for our dog. The location is an ideal base for visiting this very scenic area - both Harlech and Criccieth castles are nearby, along with a choice of various quiet beaches. We ate out a number of times and were very pleased with the food and service received. Would recommend a visit.
