General Information
Over half a century of experience.
Back in 1950 we started letting the farmhouses and cottages in an area where our family have farmed for centuries. We are committed to providing quality accommodation. Our motto is "quality not quantity" and pride ourselves on the high standard of cleanliness and attention to detail at our cottages.
Quality of Life and Joys of Motoring
Landscape, seascape and scenery
Here you can experience environments with a civilised quality and tempo of life, where old fashioned courtesy and friendliness will impress you. Here you can experience the joys of motoring now rare throughout most of Europe. You can seek peace, tranquillity and solitude along the rural byroads, through the hills, the country lanes and the small coastal villages, you will not be disappointed!
Short Breaks
If you haven't visited Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula before why not come for a cozy Winter Break and see what you are missing! November is normally a beautiful mild autumn month of golden leaves and wonderful walks. December is wonderful for festive days out at Craft Fairs at local National Trust houses, Christmas shopping and curling up by the fire with a book. You will be amazed, too, at how early spring arrives - snowdrops and periwinkles in January, masses of daffodils and primroses in February - in March they are everywhere and followed by a mass of bluebells!! Why not escape for a while in one of our romantic cottages? We offer a 3 night weekend break (including a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night) or a 4 night midweek break from the 2nd week in November. The cottages are always warm & inviting with free logs supplied for Short Breaks for that roaring fire.
Honeymoons
For honeymooners we provide flowers, champagne on ice and chocolates with our compliments. Each cottage has truly romantic bedrooms of the Victorian age, with beautifully draped four-poster beds or brass beds, and lovely antiques, providing a truly special and memorable stay.
Pets
You are most welcome to bring your well behaved pet, subject to prior arrangement, provided you never allow your pet on the beds or furniture. We must also ask that you never leave a pet alone in the cottage while you are out . All dog fouling must be cleared and picked up from the grounds and garden. There are plenty of lovely walks for dogs and people, and fields where guests are welcome to exercise their dogs. This is a farming district with sheep and other livestock - please do not allow dogs out on their own.
Cots & Highchairs are available on request, but we do not provide any bedding for the cot (only a good quality mattress).
Cycle Storage: Each cottage has a safe, lockable shed or outbuilding for the safe storage of bikes or any other gear that you may wish to keep safely.
Fishing & Shooting: We have 180 acres of farmland around the cottages, where (by arrangement) you are welcomed to do some rough shooting. Also we have a mile stretch of the River Dwyfach where fishing can be done (in season) for brown trout and salmon.
Christmas & New Year Festivities: A comlimentary Christmas Tree, Lights and traditional country style decorations are provided at each cottage.
Safety: Each cottage has Smoke Alarms, a Fire Blanket and Fire Extinguisher.
Green Tourism: We operate a recycling policy and recycle glass, cans, tins, paper and plastic. A recycling box is provided at each cottage. Also, where appropriate low wattage, energy saving bulbs are in use.
BBQ: Each cottage has a small BBQ, but we do not provide charcoal.
Eating Out: Two and a half mile away from Rhos Cottages there are two pubs which serve excellent meals and also an Indian Restaurant. At Criccieth, 4 ˝ miles away there is a vast choice of restaurants, bistros and cafés with most being open all year.
Shopping: At Porthmadog there is a TESCO store; at Pwllheli an ASDA and at Caernafron a MORRISONS as well as a good choice of small family run butchers and traditional bakeries at Criccieth.
