Darn Isaf Reviews

David
Cosy, comfortable, spacious and well equipped cottage in a remote idyllic location. Welcoming hosts and a variety of fine local walks from the doorstep.
Susanne
The most perfect setting! Peaceful and relaxing, friendly host. Cottage was spotless and lots of high quality amenities available. Would definitely return again.
Sarah
Had a wonderful break to Snowdonia, this little cottage was a cracking base for our adventures. Views are phenomenal. Owners of the cottage were on site, very friendly without intrusion. All the little extras were provided which was so helpful, the dishwasher tablets, the washing liquids, the paper towels, the cloths, extra towels greatly appreciated due to the wet weather - they had thought of everything and it made our stay much easier. Wifi isn't reliable, if you are bringing work with you on your holiday that can be tricky, other than that though, this place is great.
Stephen
Characterful farmhouse location with lovely surrounding scenery and walks. Also very good for exploring the wider area, with lots of choices. We would have been happy to stay longer than a week such was the uniqueness of the property, the surroundings and places to visit.
Kayley
We had an amazing stay at the beautiful cottage! The nearby walks were lovely and the cottage was very well equipped. The owners of the cottage were very warm and friendly and they let us feed their lambs which was a real dream come true!! We would love to stay again and would recommend it to anyone.

No hesitation in recommending Darn Isaf to potential guests. Welcoming owners, beautiful location, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen & cosy living space. Thank you for the fabulous fresh flowers and a memorable holiday. We hope to return.
John
Fantastic, country cottage, beautiful features such as its spiral stone staircase made the stay very special. The owners are friendly and attentive and made this a perfect stay.
Sue
The location is wonderfully quiet & peaceful with glorious views on every side. There are plenty of walks from the door up to the lake & the hills. The house is spacious, warm & comfortable with the large, well equipped kitchen especially appreciated by this family of enthusiastic cooks. The beds are very comfortable & there is constant hot water. Our hosts were lovely people, really friendly & helpful but not at all intrusive. Darn Isaf is a perfect place to enjoy a holiday in beautiful countryside; a red kite patrols the fields nearby, stonechats sit on the fence posts in the lane and there were loads of blackberries for crumble.
Jonathan
Couldnâ??t fault our holiday! A truly beautiful setting
Josiane
An excellent location and peaceful setting. The cottage is well equipped and the owners very friendly.
Paul
Stunning cottage with some stunning period feature such as the stone spiral staircase. The cottage is large and furnished very well. The owners are very friendly and were a pleasure to chat to.
Nicola
This was a lovely place to stay. We were there in a cold and wet week in July, and it was great to have fuel for the stove so we could dry our boots by the fire. The kitchen was particularly well equipped, the place was really homely and our hosts were great.
Elaine
Excellent so well equipped and furnished beautifully. A lovely working farm . We couldnâ??t fault it.
Andy
A lovely large house on a working farm in a hidden valley. Two bathrooms was a bonus, lots of space to relax in. We enjoyed a nice all up the valley from the property. Well placed for exploring Snowdonia and the coast. Fabulous hotel sets thank you.
Peter
Minor issue really but TV in lounge needs to be able to receive HD i.e. Sky box would not receive BBC because all BBC programs are now HD not SD. Also would be great if upstairs bathroom had a shower curtain. These were minor issues and did not bother us at I offer these as suggestions only.
