Stayed at this beautiful farmhouse in December 2025. Lovely welcome from the hosts Robin and Jayne. The property dates back to the fifteenth century, retaining its character with a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a large log burner which was always roaring. The bedroom we stayed in was so cosy with a large and comfortable four poster bed and delightful en suite. The food was first class, so good that we dined there for both nights of our stay. Robin is very passionate about his cooking and the presentation and flavours were exceptional. It was a nice touch that Robin introduced each course with a detailed description of the ingredients and where they were sourced. The location is stunning, surrounded by mountains and we will undoubtedly be returning in the summer to sample the amazing food and welcome.

My wife and I stayed at Firecat at the end of November, and I cant recommend enough. As a Chef working at rosette and Michelin level establishments, I find it quite difficult to eat out, well not any more the Firecat is now my go to, from the amazing Welsh breakfast with cockles and lava, perfect poached eggs and fresh sourdough bread...definitely a stand out..I had it everyday . And that was just the start of it, everything was locally sourced and seasonal, Then the dinner....just wow, the plumpest king scallop, beautifully seared, balanced with a bernaise sauce cooked to perfection 👌..then we were spoilt with Welsh black beef fillet, again fantastic, cooked exactly 💯 on point, vegetables were clearly picked that day from the grounds, balanced with deglaised pan juices, paired with a stunning chianti, at this point I didnt want it to stop, ...bread and butter pudding with a lavender and tellicherry black pepper icecream, definitely a stand out dish. Then stunning locally sourced cheese board raw honey , fresh rosemary and port. In my opinion Firecat deserves at least 3 Rosettes. And the accommodation is 5 star. Set in the snowdonia national park, you couldn't find a more beautiful area to explore. We will be back for more.

If you're lucky enough to secure one of the 3 rooms at this glorious 15th century cottage, which is the Firecat Country House B&B. I urge you to grab the opportunity with both hands. Robin & Jane have crafted an experience slightly off the beaten track that promises and delivers rural Wales embodied with a touch of luxury. From the *OUTSTANDING* seasonally & lovingly prepared local foods to the careful attention to detail within the rooms. Guests will find their delight of comfort and palette are at the top of the Firecats priority list. We will definitely be returning! To be able to drift off to sleep, listening to the gentle meandering of the river interspersed with the odd Pheasants call is a treat I can't wait to have circled on my calendar once more.

An unforgettable experience My friend and I had the pleasure of staying with Robin and Jane at their wonderful B&B for 3 days – and it was nothing less than magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth, kindness and a hospitality that went straight to our hearts. The place is located in the most idyllic setting, surrounded by majestic mountains and a small river. And when we arrived, we instantly fell in love with The Firecat. And we had not even met Jane, Robin and his amazing food yet. Every morning we were spoiled with the most delicious breakfast, far beyond what we had expected – homemade, flavorful and served with love and pride. In the evening, Robin worked his magic in the kitchen and served gourmet meals that invited all of our taste buds to the party. His creativity and ability to present the food beautifully and invitingly was impressive, and the quality was absolutely top class. It was clear, why he has won awards – it was a taste experience beyond the ordinary. And it was served with an intelligent and humorous conversation regarding cooking and countless other topics. The fireplace and candles created the perfect atmosphere. We can highly recommend a stay with Robin and Jane. It's not just a place to stay – it's an experience you take home with you in your heart. When we left them, we felt that we said goodbye to our friends - not strangers, we had only known for 3 days. Thank you Jane and Robin. We will meet again.

Myself and hubby enjoyed a very pleasant weekend a away, in this little gem of a find, in lower Snowdonia. Robin and Carole were such lovely hosts in their 600 year old beautiful guest home. Highly recommended and would definitely visit again.

Two night stay at the cosy Firecat, we stayed in the Firecat room , There are 3 rooms in the house , Bathroom is spacious and quality fittings with a shower that you dont want to leave. Firecat room has period furniture and a four post luxury bed. A great nights sleep is a given. Hosts are very friendly and Robin is masterchef standard (maybe better) , We had Lamb shank, tuna steak, Baked brisket all were delicious, we booked B and B and evening meals extra to bill. Breakfasts were a treat. english full for me and my wife had the welsh breakfast - both empty plates. . We would go back in a shot

Wonderful secret gem. Amazing food and incredible host. So quiet abd in the most remarkable setting. Very friendly. Lots if interesting books. It feels like a real escape. So much nicer than the better known cousin in Snowdonia.....................................

Wow... Wow... Wow!!! If something is this good it's definitely worth shouting about!!! Can not thank our hosts, Robin and Jane enough for looking after us and going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and relaxed while we stayed in their beautiful country cottage retreat. Robin is such an interesting and intelligent gentlemen, his knowledge of food and quality products is extensive, we had breakfast on both mornings and wow... it certainly blew us away!!! The quality and the way it was cooked was perfection.... even our tomato was delicious!!!! The cottage was cosy, beautiful and full of history and the surrounding gardens were peaceful, the perfect way to spend a evening of relaxing after a long days walk and activities, and if your lucky you may just see the army fighter jets flying low over the cottage!!! It's certainly a spectacle!!!! Jane was also lovely, welcoming us and chatting away making us feel at home, the rooms were very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, even smelling of freshly washed laundry!!!! If your looking for somewhere to spend your time this is certainly the place for a relaxed, getaway. Can not thank Robin and Jane enough. Will definitely be seeing you again... till next time, take care xx

This is an amazing find. We booked at the last minute and were warmly greeted with a pot of tea, sitting in the garden overlooking the stunning countryside. Our host Robin helpfully answered all our questions about the history of the house and its construction. Despite the very short notice we had given of our stay, Robin provided a superb meal of same-day fresh scallops for me and tender lamb for my husband. This was followed by the best bread and butter pudding we have ever had with home made ice-cream. The wine was wonderful. Robin has an extensive knowledge of food and nutrition and the meal reflected this. Our room was beautiful, with a beautiful four poster bed and an excellent shower. The breakfast was perfect. Robin and Jane are excellent hosts and stood at the door waving us off. We recommend this B&B most highly.

Robin and Jane were excellent hosts and welcomed to their home after a long day of driving. The tranquil setting off the beaten track was ideal for us and we had a good sleep in a comfortable bed with the sound of the river at the bottom of the garden. It was an old house full of character. The breakfast was authentic - the most traditional Welsh breakfast we have had. Don't forget to ask Robin where the name 'Firecat' came from.........
