Trefaes Newydd

We booked this cottage as it stated "up to 2 well behaved dogs welcome".. We have one very well behaved and friendly cockapoo so we booked. Little did we know (as it was not stated on the cottage description) that 3 possessive/aggressive dogs lived in the owners cottage just a stones throw away from the rental cottage. Upon arrival (approx. 5:30pm on Sat 4th Sept), we were confronted by the owners 3 dogs barking at our car. This is not abnormal (so we thought) so we got out of the car to say hello. We quickly realised that the dogs were not friendly as they were barking/snarling/jumping up and showing teeth to our dog. It got our of hand so much so that we had to pick our dog up and get in to the cottage to keep him safe. The dogs were trying to bite our dog and one of them got his tail in their mouth. The owner just looked on aghast and did not say a word. She just tried to get the dogs under control but failed miserably. This unfortunately set the tone for the remainder of our week holiday. We were unable to sit outside on the patio area as the 3 dogs from the owners were left to wander around. We had to check that the outside area was clear every time we left the cottage to go out for the day because of the unfriendly dogs and their behaviour towards us all and our dog. The 3 dogs were left to their own devices so they were frequently barking at the patio doors of the rental cottage. Later in the week a further dog joined in (making a total of 4 dogs that the owner had) and all dogs barked at us when we were in the property, leaving the property and returning to the property. It was no fun at all and not relaxing in the slightest. The owner (female) did make an attempt to apologise to us and said " I didn't sleep at all last night, I don't know what's got in to the dogs". That was it, there was no attempt at controlling the dogs whatsoever. What would have been useful is (1) if the owners of the cottage had control of their dogs, (2) if the owners of the cottage did not let their dogs into the outside area that they rent out as a holiday cottage, (3) if the owner cleaned up after their dogs and not allow them foul in the area or access area to the cottage that they rent out. It was a lovely location, and a nice enough cottage but the dogs ruined our break. Making us all anxious and not at all relaxed. Obviously we like dogs, we have our own, but this was unacceptable for a holiday rental.

Lovely holiday- just difficult walking the dogs straight out from the cottage and it would have been easier if the garden areas had been self contained.. Lovely owners too.i

We stayed here for a week, found the accommodation to be very clean, warm, and we really enjoyed staying there.. Its location is perfect being fairly central for Pithwelli, Abersoch, Aberdaron, and all the beaches around the area. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and tucked out of the way we would highly recommend it .

Great holiday, lovely hosts

Lovely comfortable cottage in very peaceful area, the very friendly owners .... Lovely comfortable cottage in very peaceful area, the very friendly owners allowed our three dogs, highly recommended A++++ mike + pam Chester

Information on heating controls and waste disposal arrangements would avoid having to ask; though the owners were very friendly and helpful..

The cottage was situated so that all destinations we visited were near by.. The cottage was in a lovely quite area and the view from the lounge window was very picturesque. We had all the ameneties we required. Ann and Roger were very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay it was very relaxing

Lovely break away with children a little too far out for us, but a great rural location the children enjoyed being out in the country .. Ann and Roger made us all feel very welcome and allowed the children to feed the horses and help on their land.

Our hosts were very helpful and the location is delightful, far from anywhere with fantastic views.. Broadband only worked in two rooms but that was not really an issue.

Peaceful and quite. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

We would thoroughly recommend this well equipped and renovated cottage. The owners Roger and Anne were both very friendly and welcoming. Found to be excellent value for money

Lovely romantic weekend away.. The cottage itself is modern and beautiful, everything spotlessly clean. The view of the hills and horses was an added bonus. The underfloor heating in the cottage felt so good in the winter months and the log fire heated the whole cottage and made it so cosy! Will definitely be back here. Ideal for Abersoch lovers!

This was a lovely clean cottage and the owners who lived next door were very nice.

The cottage is bright,clean,well arranged and very comfortable. It suited us ideally with our 2 dogs. We were made very welcome by owners. The whole atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. This is very rural farmland, the owners property being next door is helpful. Fabulous weather obviously helped the whole experience but feel that even in inclement weather the cottage would be very cosy and warm. The owners also welcomed our visiting friends. We didn't have to restrict our dogs and they walked happily with the owners 2 (Springers). This was a real bonus for us.
