We are a family of 9, ages ranging from 11years old to 75 and Y Tylwyth catered for all our needs. Very clean, and we where shocked by the size of the property, it is very spacious. A warm welcome from the owner who was on hand if we had any questions. A lovely addition is the wonderful selection of books and games in the library and my teenager loved the pool table. Enclosed garden space for the dogs allowed them to enjoy the outdoor space without having to be on the lead - we hope to return. Thank you

House is absolutely stunning with amazing views and perfectly proportioned for the amount of guests we had. Bonus having three bathrooms especially when we all arrived back freezing cold from climbing Snowdon. The games room is a great addition and was enjoyed by all and the dining room perfect for the amount of people. Garden nice and secure for the dogs too. Welcome basket was very nice touch we will definitely book again.
