• "What a gorgeous house."

  Alls I can say is the pics on the site absolutely don’t do the house any justice at all. It is clear the pics were taken before all the gorgeous and quirky decorations were put up and the kitchen FULLY fitted. We have been in many accommodations to find the kitchen is barely fitted out. There is an abundance of crockery, cutlery, glassware, cooking utensils, even provided cutlery and bowls for the little ones, which was very sweet. The welcome pack in the basket was a treat too. We have had different sized welcome packs in our time. It was lovely to receive locally produced items. We were blessed with the weather and managed to squeeze in a BBQ lunch and even managed to sit out in the beautiful garden before the clouds came over. The local spar just up the road in walking distance is quite well kitted out with an amazing award winning butchers who sells such a beautiful selection of meat. To the point we bought some more meat to take home and enjoy again. There are lovely walks around the area if you don’t want to take car out for a change. The beach is lovely. The walks can be as strenuous as you prefer and some can be wheelchair friendly if you need them. The pub up the road Ysgethin inn was recommended and didn’t disappoint. The staff were all welcoming and very friendly. We called in for a drink or two the first time during a walk, we went back for dinner a few days later. The food is beautiful. We were told the butcher from the Spar goes there for Sunday lunch. That’s where they get their meat from, so that speak volumes in itself. The only two criticisms we had about the house was the extremely tight driveway when you first enter the drive. sensors come into play a lot haha. And it would have been nice to control the heating ourselves. Given the time of year we went, sometimes getting up to 19.5 degrees on a cold morning didn’t cut it with all downstairs being open plan except for the utility room. With that being quite cold, we kept that door shut at all time to try and keep the heat in. We only lit the fire of an evening cos it would have been a waste if we were going out after breakfast. I had to phone the owner who had remote control of the heating, he put it up an extra degree!! All in all, we had a very comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable (we always take our own pillows so cannot comment). The towels had a lovely scent to them as did the soaps provided at every sink. Oh and while I’m on that subject, it was such a novelty to have all cleaning products, tin foil, cling film etc provided. You both thought of absolutely everything. We noticed you also provided a warm hose to wash away the muddy paws and different height bowls for the pooches in the garden as well as some tennis balls for them to play with. Simply amazing. We would love to come back again.

  We had a great week's break. Lovely log fires to keep us warm and a super enclosed garden. We would totally recommend this property for a holiday in North Wales/

• "Beautiful cottage in a very nice village."

  Dogs enjoyed the stay as well. Local shops are well stocked and only a short walk away. Visited Portmerreiron Aberystwyth and the Mach Loop. Difficult when you leave the driveway as someone parks their car just to be awkward, which makes is difficult to get out onto main road. The cottage is a testament to the owners with the amount of care and thought they've gone to to ensure a good stay.

  Exceptionally clean, warm and comfortable. Good size rooms. Lovely spacious feel. This was just the break we needed. The owners had thought of everything and gone the extra mile with regards to the small but very generous things like foil, cling film, washing up liquid etc - basic needs but make such a difference. Thank you The warm dog wash was a brilliant idea! We loved sitting in the garden (even in November!) watching the squirrels and woodpeckers. Would definitely recommend and return if visiting the area. Thank you for a fabulous stay! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

• "We completely agree with the previous glowing reviews of Tyn Ffynnon."

  It really is an exceptional property and certainly deserves its five star rating. The house has been renovated to a very high quality finish and is a credit to the owner’s obvious hard work and vision. No detail has been ignored. An absolute stroke of genius is the outside warm water dog shower which was a lifesaver on a couple of occasions! We had fabulous week staying here especially as the weather improved considerably for us. This enabled us to get out and about to explore this beautiful part of Wales. It has everything from stunning beaches, mountains, ancient woodlands, waterfalls, heritage steam railways and historic buildings in abundance. We enjoyed visiting many of these but barely scratched the surface. You would need a lifetime! Tyn Ffynnon is the perfect base to do it. Richard the owner checked in with us on arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. The welcome pack was extremely generous and included traditional Welsh produce which left us wanting more. On the subject of food, we can highly recommend the London House Stores/Butcher a few metres away. Excellent award winning sausages and salt marsh Welsh lamb are available here. Also the Food Emporium in Harlech has an amazing and unusual selection of cheeses. For a meal out we can recommend The Victoria Inn in Llanbedr only a few minutes drive away. Dog friendly. We would not hesitate to recommend Tyn Ffynnon as a place to stay and hope to return sometime. Thank you for the privilege of letting us experience it for a week.

  Renovated so tastefully with lots of thought put into the finishing touches too. Very clean, comfortable and well cared for. In a quiet location but within easy reach of beaches and the Snowdonia National Park. Would highly recommend. The driveway in is a little daunting at first but you do get used to it.

• "Lovely spacious house, with plenty of room for 6 adults, beautifully furnished with well thought out details in all rooms."

  Kitchen well equipped for those that prefer/need to cook whilst away. Garden large and well enclosed keeping pets safe. Thoughtful welcome gifts for both adults and pets alike. Charlie and Chantelle have put a lot of thought into making the holiday experience easier and a home from home including spare toilet rolls, washing up liquid, foil, wraps, soap all things you normally have to remember or go and buy. The dogs are not forgotten either with dog tags with their holiday home details and an outside warm tap to clean them up after a splendid run on the beach. House well located for visits with Barmouth and Harlech about 10/15 mins away and a beach within walking distance through the village. Would recommend to all.

  It's a gorgeous, spacious, well equipped property - with a great kitchen. Really comfy beds and sofas. The main bedroom and en-suite bathroom is fabulous. Property is down a little drive off the road through the village and is quiet and private. 30 minutes walk to the lovely beach; 10 minutes walk to railway station (destinations include Harlech; Porthmadog and Barmouth); 1 minute walk to bus stops (same destinations as trains) and handy little Spar and butcher 2 minutes walk away.

• "The cottage itself was beyond excellent."

  Every possible comfort and convenience was provided. Without doubt the best-appointed cottage we have ever stayed in. Our only issue was with the very narrow and difficult driveway. We both had quite large cars - as families going on holiday often do - and although there was a hint in the FINAL instructions to approach the driveway from one particular direction, we all felt that it would have been helpful in the INITIAL spec to have given some indication of this issue - perhaps even give an actual width measurement. We genuinely felt that if we had had our previous car, a BMW X5, we would not have been able to gain access at all. Our current X3 had millimetres to spare and getting in and out of the driveway was quite a hair-raising experience.
