Guests say
Tyddyn Goronwy is a well-received cottage with guests praising its spaciousness, comfort, and cleanliness. Its proximity to the beach and local amenities, along with a lovely garden, make it a desirable location. While some guests experienced issues with WiFi and access to advertised facilities, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently describe the property as spotless and very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the house.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local pubs, and attractions, with a train station nearby for convenient travel. Some concerns about the proximity to caravan sites and a railway line are noted, but they do not significantly detract from the overall positive reception.
Reviewers frequently mention the comfort of the property, highlighting the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and spacious bathrooms. The property seems to cater well to large groups and families.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen equipment and outdoor amenities. However, there are several mentions of issues with WiFi, and some guests were disappointed with the availability of the swimming pool and other advertised facilities, leading to a slightly lower score.
While some guests mention a welcome pack of food, there are not enough references to assess the consistency of such gestures. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that future guests will receive the same.

! The setting around the farmhouse is peaceful, beautiful! The house was very comfortable, tho an extra seat in living would have been useful for the 9 of us! Beds were very comfy and rooms clean, lovely!! The WiFi could have been better!

The furnishings and decoration were great and the bathrooms and en suites as good as we've ever experienced, very spacious and with great Baths and showers. The Hot Tub, and close proximity of the Holiday park facilities , swimming Pool, Softplay, amusements etc meant even when weather not at its best there was always things for Kids to do. We all had a great stay and would definitely return.

.. great house with space, fantastic garden (our g'children loved the trains over the fence), the hot tub ... However it is let down on the small things ... no 'hamper as promised when we arrived (it only came 24 hrs after we arrived after 2 phone calls) and then it was just bread, milk, butter and a small packet of Welsh cakes ... hardly a hamper; the fridge in the kitchen has missing shelves and nothing to put bottles in ... and the fridge in the utility room was not working properly; the table outside was absolutely filthy when we arrived ... a quick wipe was all that was needed; while we understand we had access to the camp site facilities there was no mention of this in the folder at the house so we didn't know what there was or how to access it ... we also had to phone reception for the correct wi-fi password. Only small things but having spent £1284 for 4 nights we expected a bit better.
