Why you love Gelli Gron (Open Pastures)

Gelli Gron is a lovely house - so spacious & comfortable and the surrounding views are beautiful. We have had a great week's holiday in spite of the fact the weather has been changeable - brilliant sunshine, driving rain & gale force winds at times! However we have been to several beaches, and a lovely National Trust house and done lots of walking. Also met up with our family who are stayoing in Porthmadog. Thank you! Thanks for a wonderful week! Super house.

Lovely house and views. House spotless on arrival.

Smith family, Northants

A lovely long holiday here. We've enjoyed staying here again in this warm, spacious and well equipped house, with lovely views. Thanks to Arwel for his helpfulness. The weather has been mainly good, including some fantastic sunny days, and most of the rain has been at night. We've done lots of walking, mainly in the mountains, but also coastal, and we are still discovering near walks, as well repeating old favourites. One particular highlight was watching 5 seals playing in the sea close to the beach below the Welsh Language Centre.
