  We stayed at Glyn Awel for a long weekend on Easter Bank Holiday.

  We had an amazing stay, and as a large family group of 12 there was ample space for all of us. The cottage was easy to get to, beautifully refurbished and the kitchen was fully stocked with adequate utensils and cutlery for cooking and serving. There are washing, drying and ironing facilities. On our arrival there was a hamper of tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits provided, which was a very nice gesture. The views are amazing and we found good walking trails nearby. The Watkins trail to climb Snowdonia is only a short walk from the cottage and there is also a nearby coffee shop. However, there were some issues during our stay. There was no welcome pack which normally includes instructions on how to use the heating system, kitchen appliances or details on refuse and recycling. There was only one bin in the kitchen which quickly filled up and there were no additional bin bags provided so we had to source our own. The bins outside the property were already completely full. The dishwasher did not work. The microwave was temperamental and on the last day the kettle stopped working. The shower room did not have a lock on the door and did not shut properly. The fan in the shower room was also very loud. In one of the double bedrooms we could not use the lamps as the lamp plugs did not reach the sockets, and there was no extension leads. There were no logs, kindling or fire lighters supplied for the stoves, this really should have been mentioned or a small starter pack would have been nice. The driveway is a bit steep and covered in loose shale stones. One of our cars struggled to enter the drive when it was wet. Also you need to be extra careful when entering and exiting the drive to avoid scraping the bottom of the cars. Despite these minor issues, it would not deter us from returning or recommending Glyn Awel to others.

  We really enjoyed our stay, the owners were friendly, available but not intrusive, our children enjoyed being shown around the farm.

  Despite how busy he was, nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was warm and cosy, the beds and sofas were comfy and the hot tub well maintained with powerful jets - what more could you want for a relaxing break?! Although an ideal location for peace and tranquility it is also located within easy driving access to walking routes, a lovely beach, supermarkets and velocity. There are many more things to do listed in the cottage information folder but I can only comment on the above things that we as a young family with a dog did. My only feedback (and this is trivial, hence why we didn’t disturb the owners about it at the time, because it didn’t spoil our stay) is that the cutlery was quite small and childlike plus there was only six of each crockery items which meant the dishwasher being used half loaded or you washing up several times a day in order to have clean plates for lunch time and evening meal. We really wished we’d stayed for more than four nights because we all enjoyed our stay here and would really consider a repeat stay.

  Hen Gapel Seion was beyond our expectations, the location was perfect and easy to get to with private parking space for two cars.

  When we walked in and saw it still retained some of the features from the existing chapel and how bright and open the living area was we were blown away. The doors to the large garden area folded right back and gave you a sense of freedom as you looked at the roaming hills behind, and immediately you felt relaxed. It got even better with the games room. It had a pool table and projecter which most nights we would would project music videos from YouTube whilst enjoying a drink and a game of pool. The beaches around the area were magnificent and just around 15-20min drive in eaither direction and a secluded beach just a walk away as well, which our dog loved. We had a couple of nights were we watched the sun set and go down over the sea from the large windows in the living area, which was magnificent. It was very clean and we were pleasently surprised with the Welsh cake and Proseco waiting for us when we got there. All in all, a perfect holiday and we will be will definitely be returning

  Property was clean and had sufficient space.

  Main issue is with the kitchen. We had the oven on for 20 minutes and it was still stone cold, so gave up with that. The hob was either burning things or really slow no in-between. No instructions were left about the bins so took initiative and just put it in the green bin outside. Also no instructions left about bedding or anything so have placed all dirty stuff on bed to be washed, but wasn't sure if this was what they wanted us to do. Parking was not allocated but there was a decent amount outside, some times a couple of houses down though. The steps up to the property are quite steep and there are steps going to the kitchen and master bedroom. The garden has multiple levels up separate flights of stairs. Toilet roll was placed in a cupboard downstairs, which is not expected, but at least there was some. Overall, ok for sleeping, but could not do anything fancy in the kitchen.

  This has been such a wonderful, peaceful & relaxing stay in the most beautiful countryside - on a good day you can see the top of Snowdon, but even if not, the scenery is glorious.

  A really lovely, thoughtful welcome pack and card awaited my arrival, together with such clean and comfortable accommodation. That bed was soooo relaxing and the best nights sleep I have had for ages!. Everything was well thought out and provided for both humans and dogs. The hosts are truly lovely and really care about your stay being the best it can be. The garden is just perfect, with plenty of outdoor places to sit as well as being that great area for the dog to sniff around and enjoy. Not forgetting the ideal secure parking right by the accommodation which is solely for the visitors use. I can not fault Tyn Clwt and the lovely owners, and will be booking again for myself and my dog. Whether you want to explore, walk or just stay in and relax this is perfect.
