    Gilfach Goch (Red Hollow) Farm is a self-catering, three bedroom Cottage that sleeps 5 but on the…read moresame farm there is a four bedroom converted barn conversion that sleeps eight. It is a grade 2 listed 400 year old traditional Welsh Farm house situated in heart of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The cottage is oak beamed with slate floors on a 60 acre Welsh hill farm overlooking the sea and Shell Island. It has a Crog loft with 3 interconnecting bedrooms and a bathroom. Down stairs there is a living room with wood burning stove, a dinning room (with a wood burning stove) and a modern fitted kitchen. The cottage is secluded and approached down a 1/2 mile private drive, yet it is only a mile from the village of Llanbedr. The Barn Conversion named Ty Gwenol sleeps eight.. This is a conversion of two barns dating from the 17th century with many original features and extensive exposed beams and oak floor. It has a large modern farmhouse kitchen/diner and the lounge has the original high barn ceiling with the exposed A frame timbers. There are 4 twin bedrooms in all. Bedroom 1 is upstairs in the main barn and has exposed beams. Bedroom 2 is situated downstairs has an adjoining shower room with wash basin and toilet. Bedroom 3 is in the new extension. Bedroom 4 has a high original oak beamed ceiling with an ensuite shower room, washbasin and toilet. This bedroom also features a kitchenette and is the room we often choose if available as this also has its own separate entrance. There is also a full sized bathroom with shower over the bath. Outside is a patio area and lawned garden overlooking farmland and the coast. Through the woods to the back is a large stone circled fire pit and if you ask Roger and Lesley nicely you may even get an night under the stars round a camp fire. There is parking for 3 cars I will be totally transparent and say this farm is owned by a member of my family and although you may expect a little bias, I am reviewing this after staying in all of the parts of the farm, talking to countless guests and hoping that others more unconnected with the family will back this review up. Many of the people I have met staying at the same time as me have been there before, booking once or twice a year and returning regularly. I think the accommodation is great value for money, the surroundings beautiful and the spot is a great base for exploring North Wales. Should you also want to do some adventure activities, Roger and Les can cater there too!

    I seem to have been converted to 'posh camping.' A group of friends and I stayed in a camping barn…read moreup in the Peak district a while ago...so when we decided to have another exploring weekend in Wales, we looked for something similar. This bunkhouse is brilliant! I know it isn't really camping when you sleep in a dry, warm bed...but it is far more pleasant. - There is room for 16 people to sleep (there were only 10 of us, so we had extra room!) - If you managed to fill the space, it would cost less the £9 each per night - There is plenty of room to eat, chat, play board games downstairs, while the beds are all upstairs - It is heated...so good when Wales throws it's chilliest rain at you - There are showers and loos (although you have to go outside to use them!) - There are 4 gas cooking hobs, a fridge and plenty of pans, implements, plates and cups...so you can cook for yourselves if you like It is the perfect place to stay if you would like to climb Snowdon, or take part in some of the other "bach ventures." We saw a huge group of kids use this place as a base for kayaking on bank holiday Monday, and there were posters showing they also offer climbing/trekking activities if that is your thing. There is also plenty of space for tents/camping.

    Let's begin with the positives. The bunkhouse is situated in a great location, between Beddgelert…read moreand Caernarfon, and is within easy reach of most of the Snowdonia National Park, and the pillowcases and sheets were fresh. And now the negatives. It may be that, once, this bunkhouse was well cared for, clean and loved. No longer, however. I stayed here with a group of friends in September, 2015. I've worked in Outdoor Education, camped, stayed in bothies, bunkhouses and hostels, and I'm sorry to say that Pentre Bach missed the mark. The communal area hadn't been cleaned for a long time: there were spiders' webs with trussed up wood lice, old food in the fridge and a blown can of beans on top of it. Upstairs, the mattresses were covered with mattress protectors that had clearly seen, and survived, long campaigns. The toilets and the showers across the yard were serviceable, but the showers spilled a good percentage down the walls before reaching the shower-heads and, again, the condition of the buildings and the fittings was tired and grubby. The owners have an outdoor activities enterprise as well as the bunkhouse - it would be of benefit if they extended the rigorous standards that they must, perforce, apply to that venture, to their bunkhouse.
