Y Bwthyn

A lovely well thought out self catering property, very well equipped and comfortable.

The accommodation was great.

If you're looking to stay somewhere quiet with beautiful surroundings, this is the perfect location. Su was a great host. The house has all the necessary kitchen essentials and then some. She also provided guides for walking trails nearby. I would definitely recommend trying this cottage.

When you’re looking for a cottage to rent you look at the glowing reviews and book accordingly, only to find it’s not quite up to scratch.

In this case believe the reviews, the cottage is outstanding; it is beautifully and tastefully decorated, it has everything you could need, Sue the owner is very welcoming and lives next door to the cottage which is a converted chapel in a very rural, quiet, picturesque setting. The landscape on the journey to it through the valley is fantastic as is the view from the patio. There are walks from the cottage which we would like to explore when we come back for a longer stay and the temperature is below 30 degrees C! (The cottage was quite cool even in these temperatures). Very highly recommended.

It was a amazing cottage, such a beautiful and well thought through, the best equipped self catering we have ever visited.

Sue went above and beyond to make the house cozy and clean was spotless. She was a lovely host and even posted left items to us. Nothing to fault, best place we have ever stayed.

Brilliant cottage, location and host.

The cottage was exceptional.

It is spacious, comfortable and has everything you need. The cottage is very clean through out. It is in a wonderful part of Wales with lots of walks and plenty to see and do nearby. But it was always lovely to come back to the cottage to relax in peace with a drink and watch the birds and sheep. The owners are friendly and informative of the local area. This was our second visit but it won’t be our last.

Sue the host was wonderful, everything you need is in the cottage, very clean and comfortable, really enjoyed our break and my little dog poppy was very settled there.

A comfortable and very well equipped, dog-friendly cottage for 6 people.

Perfectly placed to walk in the local area (Cader Idris and Dysinni Valley close by). Quiet lanes and 10 minutes' drive to shops for provisions. Lots of information provided for local walks and points of interest. If you take a dog be aware there are lots of cattle around as well as sheep so plan your route carefully. Would highly recommend this cottage and would hope to return one day.

We loved our stay at Y Bwthyn, it's lovely property in beautiful location.

The cottage is very well maintained and equipped, with thoughtful extras. Sue is a great host and made us feel very welcome.

Loved the cottage comfortable and relaxing spotlessly clean and welcoming sue are the perfect host excellent base for travelling around thank you sue carole and Anrew

Fantastic holiday!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Y Bwthyn, it’s perfect for our needs. Lovely location, the children enjoy exploring the outdoors. Great that there is parking for two vehicles. Not far from Tywyn and Aberdovey where we spent most of our days on the beach. Cottage itself is clean, well equipped, perfect for a family holiday. Sue the owner is lovely, warm and welcoming, great communication and we especially enjoyed the hamper on arrival. My son went crazy for the Welsh cakes! We will DEFINITELY be visiting again.

The cottage is wonderful.

A beautiful, peaceful setting, just a short drive from Tywyn. Facilities were first class. Sue really has put a lot of effort and pride into the property. Looking forward to our next visit.

This was a great holiday cottage with excellent amenities.

It was close to a range of excellent walks and also the beach. Our host Sue had left a welcoming pack for us which was really appreciated on arrival. She also went above and beyond by trying to find the owner of some items that had left behind at the property and then posting them to us once identified! We will definitely be re-booking this property.

A lovely cottage, great facilities and attention to detail.

Couldn't fault it!

Y Bwthyn is a beautiful cottage which is in wonderful countryside.

Clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Our host Sue could not do enough for us and went out of her way ensure everything was in place to make sure our stay was as memorable as possible. We all had a wonderful time and I would have no hesitation in recommending Y Bwthyn to anybody. Thank you.

Amazing place, Sue is an amazing host

The cottage is beautiful, it is cosy, high standard of presentation with all amenities, just like being home from home.

Cannot fault the information provided, exceptional guidance about facilities, where to go etc. such a beautiful setting. Would certainly recommend as a place to stay when visiting the area.

We enjoyed our stay, although it wasn’t mentioned that the location was in the middle of a graveyard!

Road to and from extremely narrow Lots of cobwebs everywhere, there are actually feather dusters for these in a cupboard!!!

The cottage had everything we needed.

It was cosy and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely delightful stay over 4 nights in this very peaceful, wildlife rich location.

The Property was really well maintained and had everything we needed, lots of room for just 4 of us and Molly

Y Bwthyn is a true hidden gem.

Susan the owner was so lovely and the welcome basket went down a treat. The cottage was just perfect. My disabled mother really benefited from the down stairs very large double bedroom and the e-suite wet room was beyond ideal. Y Bwthyn cottage was spotless and we wanted for nothing. There was everything that you could possible want. It was cosy but so roomy at the same time. The 2 upstairs bedrooms were also extremely spacious and the bathroom too. Susan was so friendly without being invasive. She was very informative about the history of Y Bwthyn. I honestly can't think of a single this that was not perfect. We may have only had a couple of days there but I would truly love to go again. I cannot recomend Y Bwthyn highly enough. Thank you Susan

Had a lovely stay proper home from home greeted on arrival by Sue and lovely welcome hamper.

Couldn't fault anything, no service on mobiles while at the property which we were informed of which was quite nice to be honest so proper chilled time out. All round comfy stay off the beaten track a little bit but highly recommend. We hope to go back.

Y Bwthyn was a real gem of a property, it had everything you could wish for .

It was extremely clean and very well equipped. It was very comfortable and in a beautiful setting. The host/ owner was delightful , easily accessible if needing advice or help but otherwise left you to your own devices.The welcome pack was excellent, some very useful goodies and information of attractions in the area.. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been longer. If the opportunity should arise it would be our number 1 choice of venue for the area.

Stayed in this property for the weekend and wished we booked longer as we didn't want to leave!

Sue the owner is friendly and approachable. The cottage is set surrounded by the most stunning views- we sat outside with a blanket and pot of tea both nights just soaking in the sights and listening to nothing but the wildlife. The cottage has been well thought out, with sky light windows to look out at the views from inside. The cottage iss spacious, clean, well equipped and the photos don't do it justice. Thank you again sue! We will definitely be back.

Fabulous cottage with everything you might possibly need.

Wonderful host who communicated extremely well- we hope to revisit soon

For our needs(6 adults a child and an infant)it was ideal,the location was fantastic,if you are interested in walking,nature,birds then we would 100% recommend it,facilities were great and Sue the owner(lives next door)was a fabulous host and a wealth of local knowledge,we would definitely return HP

A lovely spacious cottage, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

Only suggestion is providing a shower extension in upstairs bathroom. We will visiting with friends and had the upstairs bathroom and there was no shower facility upstairs. Sue the host lived in adjoining cottage and was so friendly and helpful. A lovely box of goodies to welcome us. Would thoroughly recommend and it wA a competitively priced too. Thanks again to Sue xx

Y Bwthyn is a lovely house situated on the end of a row of three isolated cottages in a secluded lane between the beautiful Talyllyn and Dysynni valleys.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with excellent standard of finish and facilities. The owner lives nearby and is very helpful and there is secure indoor storage available for a 2/3 bikes. If you want an escape which is nonetheless close to Cadair Idris and the seaside resort of Tywyn this is ideal. There are plenty of options for outdoor activities nearby. Whilst the access road is narrow and steep this limits passing traffic to local residents and there is adequate parking for three full size cars on the flat outside the cottage. We had a great stay and will return.

Great pre-visit care from Sue the owner, sent us information on the cottage and things to do in the area.

Brilliant welcome on arrival from Sue. We felt that the owner genuinely cares about her customers and is not just doing it for some additional retirement income. Property is clean, well appointed and very functional. We would definitely come back.

Sue, the host, was very helpful and friendly - met us on arrival to ensure we arrived ok and could get into the property etc and provided details on the area ahead of our visit.

The property was exactly as described, and clean. It was perfect for our group weekend away to climb Snowdon, which was approx. an hour and 25mins away. There isn't much nearby that is within walking distance so if you need anything from a meal out, takeaway, shop etc you will need to drive - but this wasn't an issue for us. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend!

We had a fabulous family stay at Y Bwthyn and would definitely return again.

The cottage was immaculate, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed and more after jam packed days of adventure. Was a little surprised to find the backyard was a graveyard, which wouldnt have been appropriate for our BBQ. It unsettled one of us for the first night and it's worth noting if you aren't comfortable with this sort of thing. We took our dog with us and even though we didn't use the blankets/bedding provided it was lovely to have the option. Sue left a welcome hamper which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The location was beautiful and quiet, and felt safe, even when walking the dog around midnight. It is a child friendly property and our girls are already asking when we can return.

Superb accomodation.

Y Bwthyn is a beautiful house, former chapel, in the tiny hamlet of Abertrinant. It’s a very peaceful & tranquil location where the only noises come from the wildlife. Inside it is very clean, well equipped & comfortable. Lots of information on things to do & places to see is provided. Sue was very friendly & helpful. The house is around 10-15 minutes from Tywyn, and is in easy reach of Dolgoch Falls, Abergynolwyn, Tal-y-llyn & Cadair Idris. We would definitely come back here for another stay. Thank you for letting us stay & making us so welcome Sue.

Everything in the cottage that we needed for a great holiday good for disabled persons down and upstairs bathrooms walk in shower down stairs.

Owner is very contactable and extremely accommodating very child friendly very quiet location could not have asked for a better place to wind down

The owner was very helpful and informative,cottage was equipped with everything you might need, a lovely location to get away from it all.

The cottage was absolutely lovely and the surrounding area is beautiful both to look at and explore.

We wanted for nothing as the cottage is very well equipped and very comfortable to stay in. The cottage owner was friendly, helpful and welcoming. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who wants a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A wonderful place to sit back, relax and unwind.

A beautiful location no noise no traffic a great rest.

Easy connections to lots of places great walks and wildlife. Would recommend to anyone had a lovely holiday the cottage was very well equipped, Sue is a great host and really helpful.

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

Perfect for our group of 5 adult walkers . Communication was excellent and the cottage was well equipped and spotless.

Beautiful cottage in fabulous location.

Gorgeous house pretty and clean and well kitted out. Sat nav and phones didn’t work at all maybe due to the weather. You need an ordnance survey map handy at ALL times. Needs a better explanation on the description for dogs. NO back garden, nowhere to walk dogs at the house (too many sheep, steep road) or let them outside for doggy business! Very dark at night and needed a torch to take dogs for toilet. Also it would have been even lovelier if the house had a log fire to come back to!!! But even after all this I would still recommend it to others! Ps Far too many jobs to do at the end of the stay like cleaning, washing, stripping beds. Also very sad not to get in until 4 and have to leave by 9.30. Seems a bit unjust!!!

Beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings,very peaceful and quiet.

Walks from the doorstep or the large dog friendly beach of Tywyn is a 10 minute drive away. Thanks to Sue for a very warm welcome, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home from home in gorgeous remote setting.

Sue is a delightful lady. Had a lovely holiday

What a fantastic holiday.

Location is great, the home is lovely and has everything you need. It was ample for my family of five and elderly parents. Really comfortable, clean and a really relaxing space to be in! Thank you Sue you really are a fantastic host. Nothing was too much trouble, and would love to revisit sometime!

Been booking cottages on Sykes for a number of years and I can honestly say this cottage was the best we have stayed at bar none.

Sue, the owner was lovely, friendly and had thought of everything to make the stay the best ever. Also the location is genuinely beautiful. Would recommend that anyone who wants to book a cottage in North Wales, look no further.

lovely quaint property.

exceptionally clean.so quiet in the beautiful countryside surroundings

We absolutely loved our stay at Y Bwthyn and not just because of the beautiful location!

The property was beautiful, everything was catered for. We took our two dogs and again everything has been thought about even down to tags with the address of the property and Sue's number incase the worse happens and the dogs get loose. This was a huge weight off my mind!! The stone floors take the stress away from worrying about the dogs shedding everywhere and they both loved the beds provided for them!! Thanks for a lovely stay I hope we got all the hair up

Very clean accommodation.

All facilities available for a short term stay at the cottage.

Fantastic property and stay

Brilliant place to stay - very quiet (except at Sheep feeding time), plenty of kitchen pots, pans, baking trays, utensils etc.

comfortable beds. Bright and airy, spotless.

You cannot find fault with this place you are met by the owner Sue who is very friendly and cannot do enough for you.

The place is very clean and tidy. It has all the facilities you could want. Most 3 bedroom sites have a double bed going to a single or bunk, Sues place has 3 brilliantly sized doubles The location Heaven !!!! A1 for a chill out tranquill stay without a doubt best holiday cottage i have stayed at 10/10

Loved the property and Sue who looks after it couldn't of been more helpful and friendly.

The cottage was absolutely delightful and a very relaxing place to stay in North Wales.

It was very well equipped and the owner had provided everything that you could possibly want. Information about the area and things to do were sent prior to the visit so that one could plan well in advance. This was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended staying here. Thank you to Sue, the owner, for all your thoughtful touches.

We totally enjoyed the holiday home.

It is as described with a lot of detail given to all the small things as well. The views outside are breathtaking and it is 15 minutes from Cardigan Bay and it’s beautiful beaches. Cader Idris peak is close by but I wouldn’t recommend it tbh it’s a very difficult climb, and I’d say climb to the lake and back! The cottage has everything you’ll need for your comforts and perfect holiday. Lake Bala is only 45 minutes away. Local walks are gorgeous and we made use of the cemetery behind the house for pray and yoga which was very spiritual for us as a family. This is the perfect family home and we would happily come again. Sue is a lovely host and an amazing person. Thank you

Most enjoyable.

Everything was as expected.

Such lovely accommodation.

So clean and in good decoration. Fantastic host who was on hand to give advice and always friendly for a chat. Great communication too before hols started. Spacious accommodation with places to sit upstairs, in bedroom or the lounge. Only down side was no garden, there's a front patio to sit in the sun. But no where to have a BBQ or hang beach towels to air. That's the only negative I can think of. So many facilities and cooking things catered for. Such a lovely welcome hamper too.

We were very lucky with the weather so only used cottage as a base but was very comfortable and was what we expected.

Sue Wolfe is an exceptional host, with a wealth of knowledge of the wildlife and the area.

The cottage is a small piece of calm in an all too busy works. Every care is taken by Sue to ensure that everyone enjoys a carefree holiday.

The cottage was beautiful & set in a fabulous location .

Waking up to those views was amazing . Sue the owner was fantastic & gave us lots of hints and tips for the local area . I even left some items behind and she kindly posted them to us . Amazing holiday

The owner, Sue, couldn’t be more helpful or accommodating.

She was the perfect host, especially if you are wildlife mad like us. The cottage was absolutely spotless. Very good welcome pack provided too. Plenty to see and do.

I'm assuming that the first and last questions refer to Sykes in general and not specifically to Y Bwthyn.

As an agent your perfromance was perfectly satisfactory and met my expectations, no complaints. The cottage itself is outstanding in all respects, helped of course by the fact that the owner is close at hand and made us extremely welcome. Her local knowledge. helpfulness and enthusiasm are as outstanding as the cottage itself.

The place was immaculate, cozy and very clean.

The owner, Sue was very welcoming and very helpful, providing us with detail info about different places of interests.

FABULOUS.

One of the best kept secrets of Wales. Property and location were even better than expected. The cottage was very well equipped, even down to tea cosies and oven gloves. Very rural, although easy to find, but the hairpin bend is not for the faint-hearted. Spar and Co op in Tywyn sell most things, and you can even arrange deliveries from Asda and Tesco. Two slight niggles - no hook on the back of bathroom door for dressing gowns, and being open-plan I was aware of noise from the fridge when watching television. Lots of interesting places nearby, and a train ride along the coast is a must, but beware that not all cafes allow you to use their toilets. We will be back.

The host, Sue, was very friendly and provided us with all the nearby sightseeing information.

A good welcome goodie bag was much appreciated. The house is fully equipped with beautiful decor and is in a peaceful environment. Sue is a super communicator.

The cottage has been lovingly and thoughtfully renovated from the original chapel.

It was clean throughout. All rooms well equipped and comfortable, the kitchen worth a special mention - everything you need is there. Quiet location, near to both coast and mountains. Brilliant walks from the door. Bats, owls, kingfisher, kites, salmon to spot. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable host. Very good internet.

Thank you so much, we enjoyed our stay at Y Bwthyn enormously.

We visit it often in our memories. It's a very beautiful, well presented Chapel house with spectacular views of the hillside. We were made to feel especially welcome with a lovely hamper of delicious treats. The milk in the fridge was joy to behold as we had not managed to purchase any on route and we were all ready for a cup of tea when we arrived!! The interior is well thought out and cosy. It was lovely to have both a bathroom and walk in shower. There is attention to detail with plug in nightlights to help navigate the property at night and a discreet stair gate to safeguard younger visitors. Y Bwthyn is situated in a very quite area with an abundance of wildlife. We enjoyed many a morning and evening watching the nesting Martins and pipistrelle bats flying around. The three free range sheep who would walk past the Chapel on an evening, pause to stare at us before munching on the hedgerow, made us smile as we sat out enjoying a nightcap in the property's front garden. The Velux windows in the property allowed the light and breath taking views to stream in, adding to the serenity and beauty of the property. There are lots of lovely walks in the vicinity, such as bird rock and an iron age fort, Castlle Y Bere and large lake for wild water swimming. Aberdovey, Tywn, Barmouth and Dolgoch falls are all well worth a visit. It was lovely having Sue, who owned the property, so close by, and we did enjoy our chats and seeing her amazing photographs of animals, birds and landscapes. Thank you very much for having us. The Jennings family

This is a great location for exploring Mid Wales.

Situated in a beautiful location and very quiet. Great facilities, good shower and on suit down stairs but could do with shower above the bath in the upstairs bathroom. Comes well recommended.

A gorgeous, comfortable cottage, excellently equipped with all mod cons in a tranquil, beautiful, rural location; my idea of heaven.

There was a Welcome Hamper on the table and Sue, the hostess, was most welcoming, very friendly and helpful with a a wealth of knowledge on wildlife and the area; there is so much more I could add. So I'm very happy to recommend Y Bwythyn for those who love life at the pace nature intended and I will be going back.

The cottage is beautiful and very thoughtfully equipped.

The only suggestion I can make is that there is a shower put in over the bath in the upstairs bathroom. Most people shower, and we were queueing up for the ensuite one downstairs.

A very welcoming host who made every effort to make sure our stay was most enjoable.

Very well equipped property, picture perfect scenery, extremely tranquil place. Could not have been a more perfect stay for our family. Hope to return soon.

the house was in a beautiful location with a beautiful scenery.

it was very peaceful and we would go back any day. thank you sue

The owner of this cottage is the most lovely, friendly person you could wish to meet.

We had an email before we arrived letting us know what we could find in the local area and even looked into where locally served Gluten free food for me. On arrival, we met the owner, found the key easily and discovered a thoughtful hamper containing everything you need to get the holiday started and some beautiful postcards of photos taken by the owner of the local area. The cottage itself is clean perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, we even made a birthday cake. The location of the cottage is very quiet but is ideally located for walking, the beach and the Talyllyn Railway. We had a fantastic two week holiday!!

Sue was very warm and welcoming.

She gave us lots of advice and information Can’t think of a fault

A lovely cottage and host.

We received above and beyond in terms of extras, a welcome hamper which was delightful, but also ample other bits and bobs such as toilet rolls, dustbin bags, dishwasher tablets and so on. Cottage was beautifully clean and well furnished. Wet room was fab for my parents along with the downstairs bedroom. Location is extremely peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed playing the board games that were provided, a proper family break. Upstairs could do with an additional shower over the bath, purely to ease congestion in the mornings in the downstairs shower room, but not a huge problem. Wifi was good. We thoroughly enjoyed our home from home.

lovely cottage very peaceful location.

plenty of wildlife to enjoy watching. owner very helpful and friendly. welcome pack very useful. cottage very well maintained, well equipped. 5 star accommodation. look forward to the next time we go there.

Super cottage .

- extremely thoughtfully equipped and with a very generous welcome pack . Amazing level of care provided by lovely friendly owner keen to help in any way. Very quiet , pretty location full of celtic charm, fascinating wildlife and with lots of places to visit nearby - beaches , mountains and interesting towns .Young grandchildren enjoyed the experience of a very different lifestyle!

The cottage was delightful and had everything we could possibly need.

The welcome pack was very nice. The location was perfect and quiet. Good wildlife spotting. Aberdovey is only a short drive and shops at Tawyn 15 minutes drive. A very comfortable cottage that I would happily return to.

MY HOLIDAY WAS PERFECT I ENJOYED EACH DAY .

IT WAS PEACE AND QUIET PEOPLE WAS NICE AND PLEASANT, WHICH WE DONT FIND THIS IN LONDON ANYMORE. WE VISITED LOTS OF PLACES AND WE WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK AGAIN. WEATHER WAS PERFECT.

Lovely welcome pack on arrival.

Owners where there to see us settle in. Everything was well equipped with almost everything brand new. Nice little town 10 min drive away with nice selection of restaurants and take aways.
