Tyn y Maen is a cosy little bungalow, not luxurious but comfortable and quiet. Great for dogs as secure garden although no local walks. Very hot when we were there so the owner was happy for us to leave our 2 dogs in the bungalow when we went out.

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage.The location and views are stunning and the pictures dont do justice with regards to the lovely big garden which is fully enclosed for dogs.The cottage was clean and well kept and was great value for money.It had everything needed and all of the beds were really comfortable so had a great night's sleep.Would definitely book this cottage again.

On the plus side this cottage is in an amazing area close to beaches and plenty to do within 20 to 30 minutes. On the minus side it needs a total revamp it's very old fashioned and needs a thorough deep clean. Daughter took her clothes off the shelf in the bedroom to pack to come home and they were covered in dust, the bedroom lampshade is filthy and rusty, the kitchen is poorly equipped only three tumblers for supposedly 6 people and no wooden spoons or food turners etc, it is a struggle to lock the back door too. Lovely to see the horses in the field next door and this could be such a nice place, even the garden is full of weeds and untidy you sit at the garden table with grass growing between your feet. Such a shame because we loved the area and would come back in a heartbeat if only the place was cleaner
