to get started.

Delicious home cooked breakfast! Bed super comfy. Fire downstairs was lovely

Caroline, United Kingdom

Jane and Robin were the perfect hosts, the area is so quiet, the bed was really comfortable, the breakfasts are amazing, really high quality produce is used. (The black pudding is a must try) as is the homemade preserves. We will definitely be going back for a winter break, the 3 days we have just spent at the Forecast were so relaxing. Thanks Jane and Robin for a great relaxing 3 days, see you again soon I hope.

Stuart, United Kingdom

Hosts were terrific, couldn't do enough and the breakfasts were fabulous.

Phil, United Kingdom

I initially booked this particular B&B only as a means to be able to go up to Snowden the next day. What I encountered instead was a beautifully preserved 600 year old house which had been converted into a bed and breakfast. Most of the original architecture was well preserved and decorated accordingly. It was tucked away in a farm away from the road, but not so far that you wouldn't be back out on the main road in a couple of minutes. This created a nice sheltered space with a strong feeling of home. To cap it all off, the food they served was spectacular!

Syed, United Kingdom

Amazing historic house and unbelievable location in Snowdonia National Park! Breakfast was amazing and our hosts were phenomenal. Would recommend to anyone!

Harrison, Canada

Very friendly hosts. Enjoyed the food; well presented and prepared to our taste.

Madhavan, United Kingdom

Beautiful setting, very quiet and peaceful and just 3 bedrooms so expect to receive a very personal service at The Firecat.

Kp2014, United Kingdom

Hotel was small and privately owned by an amazing couple, who worked hard together looking after us. The food was freshly cooked, using best quality local produce. The room was extremely comfortable and very clean. We enjoyed the comfort of a lounge with a roaring fire.

Marian, United Kingdom

Great location. Lovely room. Great living room. Amazing history. Robin and Jane are lovely people who made us feel at home. The food was some of the best we have ever had. Attention to detail was second to none. Extremely clean. Amazing views.

Its about an hour and a half away from Snowden. Not the properties fault but lack of my own research. However it is only 15 minutes away from Cadair Idris!

Breakfast was mean - one tiny fried egg,only one sausage, slice of mushroom. Premier Inn can provide king size beds! No bath. Owner was nosy and although invited to enjoy the lounge - occupied it as well! Noisy plumbing - due to bore hole water supply.
Not a lot.
