  We found Ty Hir a comfortable place to stay with all the necessities for a relaxing break.

  The single track up to the barn which is adjacent to the owners home is a little daunting on first go, but soon becomes less so. It feels like you are in top of the world when you reach the accomodation and the views are amazing! Nb the direct view from the living room is disappointing but to each side, beautiful. If it were my place I'd swap the dresser for a comfy couch to sit with morning coffee and take in the view of Cnicht. We had a slight problem with the electricity supply on the first evening and morning but the owners were on hand for the weekend and were very friendly, approachable and helpful. It was sorted before we left. There is a private working farm next to the accomodation and the farmers there were very friendly. I would say this is probably not the best a property for people with mobility limitations as the parking outside the property is on quite rough, uneven ground. There is a short gentle sloping path from the gate to the accomodation.

  My two sons and I had a lovely week at Windycroft.

  The house was very clean, homely and had everything we needed. The views were amazing, they look good on the photos but are even better in real life. We loved sitting on the seats outside and watching out over the harbour and town below. The house is just around the corner from the Barmouth bridge and one of our favourite days out was walking across it to Fairbourne spending the day there and then getting the train back. Even on our one rainy day we didn’t feel like we were missing out by staying in as it was so cosy sitting and looking out of the windows. I think it would be a good house to stay in at any time of year. Yes there are steps up to the property but the views you get once up there easily make up for this and if you carry on up the steps there are walks you can go on and even more extensive views. The owner was very helpful and responsive and we would definitely stay again.

  Such a wonderful property in an ideal location in an ideal location.

  The house itself is well furnished with some thoughtful touches throughout. The views are stunning from the front of the house and we spent every morning and evening just watching the boats bobbing about in the harbour. Yes the steps up to it aren't ideal, but it's not that many and completely worth it when you get to the top, I counted 42, so not that many really. We used the parking permit to park on the large carpark near the beach which is a welcome addition to our holiday not having to pay for parking. We also used it when we went visiting other towns by using the list that was given to us, proved very helpful and is a thoughtful touch to be included in the stay at this property. Overall we were extremely impressed with our stay and the hosts were very helpful and communication was great. We look forward to visiting again soon. X

  November 2024 This is a very comfortable house with super views and we really enjoyed our stay here.

  Sitting by one of the windows with a cup of tea watching the the last of a beautiful sunset fade into darkness was a highlight. There are many things to do in the immediate vicinity and I really recommend climbing higher up the steps by the house and onto the hill for some fabulous walks and views. It was great having the parking permit and the 5-10 min walk to the car park not a problem - we were able to pull over on the side of the road by the house for a brief time to unload our luggage on arrival. The house is situated quite high above the main road into town but it is not at all noisy. You can hear the rattle of the occasional small train going past but all is very quiet at night. As many have commented on here, Dan the owner is very friendly and helpful and we really felt welcomed into this lovely home. Thank-you, Dan!

  The standard of cleaning was not as expected.

  There was cobwebs and dust everywhere on arrival and no hoover to clean up the rugs. The layout of the living space is odd and it would better to swap the dresser and table so that there was space to move the settee away from the cooker. We appreciate that it's on a working farm, but having sheepdogs kennelled outside the bedroom window that bark and howl from first light in the summer was disruptive. There needs to be more usable, newer crockery, glasses and cutlery, there was only one chopping board and baking tray! The mattresses were really comfortable but the bed frames need attention as parts are broken and they squeak. Outdoor seating would be a good addition. The owner dealt with the tv and broadband outage promptly.
