Jackie United Kingdom

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely home run by lovely people. The setting is wonderful, very secluded although easy to reach from the main road. Robin is a fantastic cook and we strongly recommend trying his evening menu! Breakfasts were out of this world, fantastic really. The bed is very comfy. Good shower and water pressure. Jane is very thorough about the cleaning, all the premises were immaculately clean and pleasant. As a bonus, the property sits on a natural well, so the tap water is simply delicious! We added some extra nights to our stay and we honestly did not want to leave :-)

Laura United Kingdom

Everything! Jane and Robin could not have been warmer and kinder and more brilliant as hosts. The cottage is beautiful and the surroundings picturesque. Our room was comfy and quiet and the breakfast was divine! Robin cooked steak and duck one evening for us and it was perfect ( one of us is a chef and he was impressed). The holiday exceeded expectations and I would unequivocally recommend a stay with Jane and Robin at the Firecat.

Michael United Kingdom

we loved all of the original features. The location is stunning and the owners couldn’t do enough for us. Made us feel welcome and even provided an early breakfast as we had to leave early.

Nichola United Kingdom

Best B&B we've stayed at for years. Very high quality, beautiful building and rooms, perfect peaceful environment. Treated like royalty from when we arrived to when we left. Amazing delicious breakfast. Would love to stay again one day.

Martin United Kingdom

The location is stunning with an equally stunning property

Jim United Kingdom

Beautifully designed and decorated. Cosy and quiet in a fantastic natural area.

Andras United Kingdom

This was such a wonderful place to stay. My room was perfect and so comfortabe (and stunning); breakfast was exceptional (some of the best sausages I've ever had); and the dinner was Michelin-quality. Robin and Jane are some of the loveliest hosts and I can't wait to book again.

Alex Taiwan

A wonderful stay in a stunning location, our room was beautiful, full of character and with gorgeous views over the river and hills. The breakfast was amazing, Robin is a fantastic chef and Jane gave us really helpful information for things to do and see in the local area. Thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Clare United Kingdom

What an amazing last minute find this was after deciding to visit Barnmouth. We were so amazed to find a beautifully restored cottage which has been tastefully and respectably decorated to keep a modern twist on period furniture. Each room has it's own charm and beauty. Staff were incredibly attentive and breakfast was delicious. The grounds are breathtaking and I would definitely recommend. The pub 15mins walk away does cheaper food for evening meals which we took advantage of. The other rooms we were shown didnt have this problem though. In the process of making an outdoor hot tub which will have incredible views. Cant wait to go back and visit when it's in place.
