Reviews
"Lovely cottage, beautifully finished with a superbly equipped kitchen. As we stayed in an exceptionally wet and cold February the log burner was a necessity but keep us very cosy and the games cupboard was helpful too. Great location lots of places to see and activities to do for all ages. Would recommend"
"Cottage is absolutely lovely, as others have said a real home from home and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen and dining area are especially fab (I had kitchen envy!). Special note: unlike alot of rental properties we've stayed in, the kitchen was really well stocked with lots of mugs, glasses, wine glasses etc - quite literally everything you could think of and plenty of them too (so you don't have to wash up every 5 minutes). Beds were extremely comfortable and bedrooms spacious. Lots of information in the cottage on great local walks and things to do prepared by the owner - we did quite a few and highly recomend the Tan-y-Grisiau reservoir (finished off with a fab all day breakfast at the car park cafe!). Allow a good couple of hours for this walk. Brilliant base for getting to Snowdonia and Betws y Coed (waterfalls) and obviously for all the Zip World locations which were a big hit with the teenagers. Really feel like we got away from it all and fell in love with area and The Old Post Office. Would happily, and will hopefully, go back for another stay."
"This is a great base to visit Snowdonia National Park. There are great walks around the area and the locals are very friendly. We were amazed by the owners attention to detail, the kitchen is very large and well equipped with good quality crockery, glassware and cutlery. There is even a wine fridge. The Prosecco, welsh cakes and even a dog treat was a nice touch as a welcome. All the rooms are very well decorated and presented, the towels were of good quality. There are great views of the mountains from the back terraces. We would definitely stay here again."
"This rental is a lovely place. Clean, well furnished and a good location to visit Snowdon and area. The local pub is friendly and only 5 minute walk. The Indian restaurant in the town is very good. The accommodation has a folder with plenty tips on where to visit. Great views from garden."
"Highly recommended, home from home, with every imenity covered from coffee maker to wine fridge. Beautiful views from garden. Close to shop and great places to visit. Owner very friendly and helpful, lovely touch with presco, Welsh cakes and chocolate, plenty information leaflets"
"The Old Post Office is in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, and is an exceptionally comfortable and well equipped house. The location among the mountains is stunning, especially from the garden. The owners have gone to great care to ensure that every possible item required for a relaxing stay has been provided."
"What can I say, other than this cottage is PERFECT! Highly recommend staying here. They have thought of everything, very well equipped, a home from home with lovely finishing touches. Good location with lots of attractions near by Snowdonia, Zip World, Portmeirion, Barmouth beach just to name a few! Thank you again for having us :)"
"We had a lovely stay in the Old Post Office. It is a very well stocked and comfortable house that is beautifully presented. It is positioned in an area that is a great starting point for visiting other areas in North Wales and in particular the Zip world locations. The terraced garden out the back has stunning views on a clear day and is a perfect place to enjoy the Prosecco kindly left by Sarah."
"We have recently returned from a stay at the Old Post Office. Such a beautiful house, with very comfortable surroundings. The house is very tastefully decorated and the owners obviously have a good eye for detail. The bottle of Cava , scones & chocolates on the pillow were very kind touches. The garden again was perfect, sadly we never got to enjoy it due to the rain. Would highly recommend this accommodation was 1st class in every way"
"Although the weather was not great - an awful journey through the rain, wind and floods we had a fantastic time. Would.d recommend the National Trust sites in the area and the dogs loved the beaches which are accessible to them at this time of year. The most important thing was the Old Post Office which offered so much."
"Nuff said....Fantastic kitchen.... well appointed cottage, well recommended, I'd stay again.... Thanks for a great week "
"Perfect from start to finish the Old Post Office is immaculate with everything you need and then some. Wish we would have had nicer weather so we could have tried the outside space but I suppose you cant have everything. Scenery is spectacular and pubs and shops 2 minutes and 5 minutes walk. Lovely week. Lynn and Ben the owners ave thought of everything and the wine and welsh cakes were a lovely touch. Thank you so much."
"We are a family of four with Henry the Cavalier King Charles we had a fab time at the Old Post Office, it was so well epuipped and lovely furnishings it felt like home from home! We would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to bust North Wales."
"On arrival we found the house to be welcoming, fresh and pristine and the complimentary prosecco and bara brith a really lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house,it was just perfect for us all. It was a real home from home, with lovely thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen was really well equipped, the bathrooms were pristine and the lovely thick towels and quality beds and bedding were just the icing on the cake. It is also in a great location with many attractions only within a few miles. Weather permitting there is also a lovely walk up past the old mill and great views from the top. We will definitely be back"
"I can only agree with what other visitors have said. A great property, extremely clean, spacious and well equipped. Beautiful terraced gardens at the rear of the property. Within good travelling distance to Snowdonia, Betwys-y-Coed, Portmadog and only an hours drive to Anglesey."
"Our stay at the old post office was exceptional. Spotlessly clean, fantastic facilities and a fantastic spot to visit the close towns of Harlech, Porthmadog and Barmouth. Outstanding scenery in the heart of snowdonia, the zip wire and underground trampolines that were 2 minutes down the road was an amazing bonus that kept our teenage kids occupied. Not to mention the extremely friendly and dog friendly pub a 30 second walk from the house to keep us occupied!! I cannot fault the facilities of the old post office and would certainly return there again. Thank you for having us. "
"The Old Post Office has everything you will need for your holiday. It is finished to a really high standard, with lots of little touches that make it special. The kitchen is very well equipped, the downstairs living area/dining area is very spacious yet it all feels very cosy. All of the bedrooms have lovely theme to them, with nice little touches that make you feel very welcome. The local area is great, lots to see and do. A visit to Borth-y-Gest is a must such beautiful beaches. We will definitely be going back!"
