Gallestra

Beautifully quiet and cosy cottage in a wonderful location. The house is full of character, you just need to remember to duck a lot of the time (low doorframes). The kitchen was really well equipped which made cooking and mealtimes a real pleasure. Lovely also to have the company of the sheep outside.

We had a marvellous short stay at Gallestra. The house itself is lovely, so interesting and comfortable too. We appreciated the extra hygeine precautions that had been taken for our safety. Gallestra is set in such a magnificent landscape and we did some memorable walks, and had fun in the evenings playing family games without the distractions of tv, phones etc.

A large farmhouse cottage in a stunning location. Loads of original features, but with all the modern conveniences you need.

Such an incredible location. The lack of Wifi and of near neighbours, bar the sheep and the swallows meant the best sleep we have had in years. Such beautiful walks from the door. The only downside to the comfortable and well equipped cottage were the low lintels - one of our party ended up with a mild concussion! Tall people must duck! (Might be worth padding out the lintels somehow.) Overall great though.

Beautiful house. Beautiful location.

This is the second time we have stayed at gallestra and most certainly will not be the last. This property is an absolute joy to spend our well earned holidays. Our dogs love the garden area and so did the children. We have complete ease of mind letting them unsupervised in the garden due to the amazing remote location. The views are nothing short of spectacular and alfresco dining is a must when staying at gallestra. On the rainy days and breakfast times we enjoy using the kitchen area for dining. Its is always clean and welcoming with all the ammeniaties you could require even in these crazy times. We explored the amazing countryside mountains and lakes that is litterally on your door step. Thanks so much for another brilliant comfortable stay.

Thank you for a relaxing holiday. The cottage was lovely, very clean and cosy. The location was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at Gallestra, which is in a beautiful location. The cottage is very comfortable with good facilities and lovely decor. We would definitely return for another stay. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you.

Gallestra is a magical place, very secluded, with only the sheep for company as you enjoy the wonderful view. The weather was very mixed for our stay, as you would expect in Wales, but there was still masses for us to do - beach days, mountain walking, lakeside sitting, forest exploring, slate mines, steam trains, pub food...I could go on. A great holiday for a family (and a dog). We left wishing we had more time to stay.

We had a great time at Gallestra and enjoyed being off grid and unplugged in beautiful surroundings. The house is full of character and well equipped in the kitchen even with Portmeirion China. We enjoyed eating in the garden over the amazing views and listening to all the birds. We explored near and far. Great walks from the doorstep into landscape more like Northern Spain than Wales to me and also scaled Cader Idris and Rhinog Fawr up the Roman Steps which was fabulous. We also enjoyed incredible beaches below Porthmadog and around Llyn Peninsular partic cove and coastal walks around Port Iago. Also enjoyed Atlantic Rainforest walk when torrential. We had dogs with us so did not eat out though heard good things about George 111 by the bridge. Baker, Butcher and veg shop in Dollgellau all v friendly and good. We also discovered a blackcurrent goosberry cross called a Joscaberry in The WI Thursday morning fair at the ship. Delicious ! Thanks Megan!
