  Our stay at Ty Glan Yr Afon was great.

  When we arrive the house was warm and cosy and the welcoming bottle of wine, welsh cakes, milk and fresh flowers was much appreciated. The kitchen was well equiped with plenty of cupboard space, so much so it took me a time to find everything! The downstairs bathroom, hanging space and washroom were very useful for wet boots and drying towels etc. The sitting room was spacious with comfy sofas. We did not need to light the log burner but it looked great. The upstairs bedrooms were all a good size and well furnished. We slept in the room above the kitchen and the bed was extremely comfortable. I always bring a mattress topper when I go away, it stayed in the truck this time! The upstairs bathroom was adequate with plenty of hot water, I like a good soak after a long walk. The outside space was great, with the sound of river very restful. This was spoiled on the weekend by the very noisy motorbikes going up the ORPA. We brought our dog and she loved the fact we could walk from the door along the many beautiful routes up into the hills and down along the river. We easily found a different route every day and still have plenty of other places to go next time we come. Thank you so much for our excellent holiday we would definitely recommend Ty Gan Yr Afon and will be back.

  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.

  The cottage was delightful with great views of the beach and the sea. However there was no information as to how to access the beach which would have been really useful. We discovered towards the end of our holiday that there was access on to the beach south of the railway station. It is possible to access the beach by going through the caravan site across the road from the cottage but it was signed “site clientele only”. We think more information regarding beach access would have been really useful. Online info stated there would be a welcome pack on our arrival, however this constituted a packet of Welsh cakes and a small carton of milk. We don’t consider this to be a welcome pack. Either a proper welcome pack should be provided or mention of it deleted from the website. However we had a very pleasant stay overall.

  A small under the worktop fridge does not provide enough space to store food for 5 people especially when on arrival on opening the fridge door to find all the shelves in the door absent.

  This meant we could not store anything such as milk or wine in an upright position once opened. We spoke to the owner about this but he just said he didn't know about it as his sister dealt with the cottage .Also, as noted by a previous guest the oven cannot get to temperature as the door will not close properly. There is a very steep hair pin bend when leaving the main road to get to the cottage which is a bit scary, thankfully we never met a car coming the other way. The cottage is in a lovely setting and very peaceful and quiet with some great walks straight from the door. We had good weather and were able to use the many seating areas surrounding the cottage I hesitate to call it a garden as it really is just an open grassy space.

  A fantastic cottage set in a peaceful and beautiful location with stunning scenery on the doorstep.

  We walked a few of the local footpaths which were fantastic. The property is located up a narrow road, but it is very quiet with plenty of pull in places for vehicles to pass. It is situated close to many places of interest . We spent time in Barmouth, waked the Mawddach path (whilst the children cycled), visited Port Meirion and my husband and I even got in time to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia). The beds were the most comfortable ones we have slept on and combined with the sound of the river at night we slept amazingly! The cottage is really well equipped and has everything you need. The outdoor seating was fantastic for an afternoon cup of tea! The hosts were super helpful and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay; we loved it!
