The six person cottage might be five star, and the two person cottage might have sufficient points actually bringing it within the 5 point band (but without the actual award due to the lack of a dishwasher), but the best thing must nevertheless be the location - see banner picture above taken from our garden. You dont need to be standing up to see this, just sit at the really comfortable table and bench set and admire the view over a drink. Still having spent quite a bit, making the cottages as comfortable as we can, we had best explain the features of the cottages!

The Two Person Cottage, Beudy Bach

As will be seen from the adjacent internal picture, the living room is open up to the rafters and benefits from a log-burning stove giving an open yet truly cosy feeling, wthout in anyway feeling confined.

As well as being comfortably furnished the room also has a television, video, DVD player and stereo CD/radio system.

The sitting room has the benefit of French doors which open out onto a small garden with good quality garden furniture.

The bedroom has a comfortable double bed with extra thick mattress with ample wardrobe space.

In the bathroom there is a full suite including a bath with good quality shower over. The dining kitchen, rebuilt in 2010 is fully fitted and benefits from a full size  halogen (far more responsive than traditional) electric cooker, washing machine , fridge and microwave. There is every gadget and utensil you will need for your holiday along with really good quality crockery and glassware.

This cottage has its own private parking space to the rear.  In the december 2010 inspection as a result of the improvements made, the cottage was graded for the first time with sufficient points as would entitle it to a five star grading.

However there are various further pre-requisitethat even cottages with five star quality have to meet before such a grading can formally be awarded, and one pre-requisite that we dont have is a dishwasher, so it remains formally a four star graded cottage - although the points given in the quality assessment should hopefully say a lot!

The Six Person Cottage, Beudy Gwyn

This extremely spacious and detached cottage, has consistently been graded the very maximum 5 Stars by the Welsh Tourism Board, (and indeed achieved this grading very comfortably indeed, gaining extra points each year, reflecting the fact that we never rest on our laurels).

It has unlimited hot water and central heating via a combi-boiler, has one bathroom (full sized bath with shower attachment), a further good sized en-suite shower room and a third toilet room.

The kitchen is fully equipped as you would expect of a cottage of this quality. In the kitchen is a table seating 6 (for those who choose to eat in this room rather than the dining room), washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer and microwave.

The cooker is again halogen for greater flexibility. The crockery, utensils and glassware are of the highest quality and should be more than sufficient for guests' needs.

Off the main hallway is a good-sized living room. There is an open log burning fire, three good quality leather/fabric settees and again off this room is an extremely light and airy dining room which is open to the rafters, with attractive dining table seating up to ten people (in case any visitors drop by!).

This room has patio doors (which can thus be seen on the exterior picture) opening onto a large decking / patio, which has ample outdoor seating if you fancy eating al fresco!

Off this room is the ground floor bedroom, seen on the right of the external photograph, again very light airy and indeed spacious and this principal bedroom benefits from a good sized quality en-suite and a king size bed.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, one a double and one a twin both comfortably furnished with good quality bed linen mattresses and beds. Both rooms have ample wardrobe and drawer space.

We do not believe that any of our guests who have visited us would dispute our assertion that the cottage is indeed spacious, light airy comfortable and smart!

All furniture beds, bedding and furnishings are of the highest quality with extra thick mattresses, and are tastefully appointed. There is a small glass porch to the side of the property which is ideal for sipping your G&T in. (if you chose this porch in preference to either of the two outside patio areas) More mundanely, there is a telephone in the property .  There are in fact three televisions with dvds in this cottage (one in the living room and others in two of the bedrooms), two of the  flat-screen variety. All three tvs pick up freeview programmes, the one in the main living room also having Freeview Sky with Sky Plus  but no subscription packages.

General Information Applicable to both Cottages

The cottages are well equipped with information folders, which provide advice on the attractions, beaches, walks, cycling and perhaps most importantly, eating and drinking establishments. The leaflets on the commercial and similar attractions are sorted in order of proximity to the cottages). There is also a kids folder in the larger cottage. Guests are assured a warm welcome.  There is a shed in which bikes may be stored. Electricity, heating and linen is included in the rental. We also provide an initial supply of toilet rolls, washing up liquid and kitchen rolls and likewise (from November to March) an initial supply of logs kindling wood and firelighters to reduce the amount, which needs to be brought in the car. Towels are not provided, except to guests from overseas. We will be shortly amending our web site with further interior pictures on Beudy Gwyn, but in the meantime if you would like  some to be sent by e mail to you, please do not hesitate to e mail us for this purpose
