“Great homely home, loads of space and very private.”

Welcome gifts much appreciated thanks and very well equipped home. Secure garden for the dogs was great, comms with the owner was great and the views...wow. We had an amazing time, helped by a week of winter sunshine but such a cosy base it wouldn't have mattered if we had been rained in. Great location too, so close to a main road (although doesn't feel like it) for access to beaches, sights and adventures. Will definately be coming back.

“Tyddyn was every think needed in accomodation.”

My dog thought the enclosed garden was great. The owner's were very friendly and came round with in minutes with a spare bulb to replace light not working at the top of stairs. Thanks Mr&Mrs Evans . I will be back.

“This was our 4th stay at Tyddyn and have booked again for next year.”

It is a well appointed cottage with a large enclosed garden. Has everything you need which makes it a home from home. Railway station within walking distance as is the beach.

- Carol, October 2025
Pat October 2025

“We have just spent a very happy week at Tyddyn despite the weather!”

A securely enclosed garden is perfect for dogs (and children). I found some nice short local walks while my friend enjoyed the Panorama Walk. There is a lovely riverside walk from the Ysgethin Inn and the pub's food was excellent.

“Beautiful house, beautiful garden and beautiful view.”

Once of the best holiday properties we have ever stayed in. Immaculately clean and extremely well furnished with absolutely everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Thank you to the owners for the unexpected gift of of wine, bara brith and other items. We highly recommend you visit Tyddyn and would not hesitate to visit again ourselves.

- Caroline, September 2025
Jane September 2025

“Lovely cottage clean and well equipped kitchen, beds were comfortable and despite the terrible weather we had we enjoyed our stay, friendly owner and the bara brith was excellent.”

My wife nicked the wine so cannot comment, I would recommend this cottage with its great views, thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Elizabeth September 2025

“Tyddyn is a beautiful, detatched cottage with all the comforts of home.”

The garden is enclosed with plenty of space for our 4 legged friend to run around and set in wonderful countryside. We visited many beautiful beaches, towns and villages and also a drive around Anglesey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything the property had to offer. Appliances all very easy to use, beds very comfortable and a great shower. Thank you for letting us stay at your property.

- Elizabeth, September 2025
Deb August 2025

“We had a really lovely stay at Tyddyn.”

A family of 5 adults, a toddler, baby and 2 dogs - the property fitted the bill completely, as advertised, including the enclosed garden around the whole property. It was very well equipped, everything I went to use, it had. It is ideally located, just a short drive to several nearby sandy beaches and towns/places to visit. We would certainly return in the future when our grandsons are a little older.

- Deb, August 2025
Jonathan and Clare July 2025

Tina June 2025

“This was a perfect house in ideal location.”

We felt at home and the owner was lovely. It was everything we could have asked for and we had the best holiday ever. Have been coming to the area for over 50 years and will definitely return to this house next year if possible. Nothing compared to this in our experience. The dogs loved it too as they had freedom of a safe garden. Could not recommend it more. Perfect! Tina Carroll

“Great week at Tyddyn.”

Beautiful, well equipped house with incredible views. So much to do just a short drive away. First time staying here but hopefully will not be the last!

“We have stayed at Tyddyn several times over the last 4 years, we love it so much that we never book anywhere else now!”

everything is always perfect, the house is absolutely beautiful, clean comfortable and is well equipped with anything you may need! Theres no fault at all that i could pick, it’s our favourite place ever. Any issues (should you have any whilst staying) and the owners are lovely and more than happy to help. Thankyou for so many great stays Ann & Family we cannot wait to book again.

- Samantha, March 2025
Laura March 2025

“Wow! What a place!”

Tyddyn is an absolute gem of a holiday cottage! It was so clean and beautifully presented. Well equipped and really everything you need. We were a party of 1 adult, a 3yr old a pair of grandparents and 2 little dogs - there was plenty of space for us all. The bedrooms are lovely and very comfortable. Stairs are a little steep but that's what you get in an old farmhouse. Gardens are great and very very secure for both children and pets. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Evans for the lovely bara brith, milk and wine. The area is amazing - go right out of the cottage to Barmouth which has a great range of knick-knack-eries, great places to eat and fish and chips from the Mermaid were some of the best we've ever had. The beaches are sandy and simply stunning. Go left and you head to Harlech with its amazing castle and beautiful beaches. The unassuming local Spar shop in the village has a truly wonderful butchers - everything we tried was high quality, great value and absolutely delicious. Honestly after 30 something years of holiday cottages this was the hardest to leave. 100% recommend and we will certainly be back.

- Laura, March 2025
Carolyn October 2024

“Mattress on master bed too hard so didn’t sleep well.”

Apart from that cottage is very well equipped. Instruction leaflet was tucked away in a kitchen drawer, might be better on display. Lovely views from cottage, nice walks nearby. I don’t know if the fields either side of the drive belong to the owner but there is barbed wire along the bottom of the fence hidden in the grass - our dog nearly got her face/eyes in it when sniffing in the grass the first time we walked her.

- Carolyn, October 2024
Graham September 2024

“WiFi actually had an internet connection unlike other properties we have tried in the past.”

Had everything we needed, even a proper sized toaster. 5 min walk to local shop. 10mins walk to local train station. Scenic train journeys up and down coast. Nice local beach. Enough lanes and footpaths for some cycling and walking. We enjoyed our stay.

- Graham, September 2024
Jill August 2024

“This was a lovely holiday cottage - so well equipped.”

The kitchen, especially, was a joy. The welcome cake and wine were very welcome! A minor quibble was the lack of a mirror in the small, but perfectly formed en suite. The house’s location was perfect for exploring the area and the neighbouring sheep and cattle were very friendly!

- Jill, August 2024
Jenny July 2024

“We love coming here and have always been very happy with our stays.”

It is the perfect house in the perfect location. We like it so much that we have already booked again for next year!

- Jenny, July 2024
Alison June 2024

“Overall we had a nice time and the house was very clean and well equipped.”

The upstairs space was good for 2 families. The beds were a bit hard. It was good to have an en-suite as extra bathroom but it is very small. (The soap dispenser leaks btw) Downstairs lounge was quite small and has been swapped round versus the pictures so that the dining table is in the larger room. So it was a bit snug for 4 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped. Outside space was nice but sadly couldn’t really use due to weather. The views are lovely however and you can see the sea. Overall a good stay for 3 nights.

- Alison, June 2024
Tanya June 2024

“On our arrival we found a cake, milk and butter - a very nice welcome touch !”

We, two adults and two dogs, had a great holiday.

- Tanya, June 2024

“Beautifully property in a picturesque location, all the comforts of home, would highly recommend”

- Stephen, May 2024
Debbie May 2024

“Absolutely beautiful property & beaches are amazing.”

Spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen & great outdoor space, very secure garden even for my little escape artist terrier. Just one thing, the listing could do with stating 'No dogs upstairs'. Apart from that very small thing 'Tyddyn' is an amazing holiday let, thank you.

- Debbie, May 2024
Faye March 2024

“A great property - very clean and well equipped.”

Lovely peaceful location. Had a great stay here and would definitely recommend to others.

“Very nice spacious property in very good location.”

Really enjoyed our stay.

- Mark, October 2023
Aisil October 2023

“We had a lovely stay at this property during our holiday in Wales.”

It's clean and private. It's also good for big family with dogs because the property has got a gate. It's close to beaches and about 30 minutes drive to SNOWDONIA, if you love to walk. This property is also close to shops, pubs and restaurants. You will enjoy your stay at this property. I recommend this property for those who want a private space during their holiday. Just take note, to call the owner for the postcode to find the property.

- Aisil, October 2023
Leah September 2023

“We enjoyed our stay in Tyddyn, its lovely house with beautiful views.”

we appreciated the welcome pack of milk, wine and fruitcake. The garden was perfect, and it was lovely to see the cows and sheep in the fields around the garden. The beds were so comfortable, the house was missing a few personal touches, it could have done with a mat by the back door, specially as we had such wet weather while away and the dogs coming in and out can make the floor quite wet and slippery. There was no airer if you didn't want to use the dryer, and it was wet and cold outside, no hair dryer, the bath towels were quite small. Would highly recommend.

- Leah, September 2023
Joanne September 2023

“We always used to stay when my daughter was as little , cottage is just as fab as it was then.”

Perfect location , great cottage and now and en suite:

- Joanne, September 2023

“Lovely well maintained cottage.”

Can’t think of anything to improve it.!!

- Julie, September 2023
Richard August 2023

“A beautiful property with amazing views and such a lovely setting.”

Beds were so comfy and issues we had were delt with immediately. Only negative is the bath, it's great for kids and if you are short but being 5ft8 it was very short and shallow for me :(. Other than that the house is amazing. We had a bottle of red wine and a very tasty fruit cake as a welcome gift, which was a really nice touch. We were are party of 2 adults, 4 boys aged between 7 - 17 years and 2 dogs and the house had plenty of room for us all. Would definitely come back again in the future.

- Richard, August 2023
Ophelia August 2023

“We had a lovely week in Tyddyn.”

The listing I think mentions that there are farm animals in the adjacent field - which meant we had to keep our bigger dog out of the garden - as he could easily have jumped the wall. So a great enclosed garden for smaller dogs but not for any dogs interested in bunnies or sheep. The cottage is comfy and well fitted out - I loved the great power shower and comfy mattress and the peace and quiet and the wonderful view. Good apples too on the trees. And a lovely welcome cake and bottle of wine was great after our trek from London.

- Ophelia, August 2023
Alan July 2023

“Lovely cottage in a superb location.”

Everything there you could possibly need. Beds extremely comfortable , and views amazing. As we arrived early, the owner allowed us to park at the cottage whilst we went off exploring, before the cottage was ready, this was much appreciated

- Alan, July 2023
John July 2023

“Lovely cottage.”

Totally enclosed garden for the dog. Everything there that you need. Will be returning.

- John, July 2023
Carolyn June 2023

“Beautiful property and very comfortable.”

Nice enclosed gardens with cows and sheep roaming in the fields to the side. Bedrooms very comfortable with lovely views of the sea in the near distance. The only issue we had was finding the place initially, as it is not labelled at the driveway entrance, so it took us a couple of attempts to find it. But we had a very enjoyable holiday and would go back again.

- Carolyn, June 2023
Paul June 2023

“We had a great time at the cottage .”

Everything was as described and lovely and peaceful. There was no catalogue of dos and donts so we spent the week entirely at ease . Lovely area and beautiful walks and the dogs both loved it too . Only thing I would suggest would be blackout blinds in the bedrooms as it’s light very early in the summer and the sun shone through very bright at 5am. Great cottage and location . 5 stars !!!

- Paul, June 2023
Robert June 2023

“A lovely cottage with beautiful views of the setting sun and the sanddunes of Dyffryn Beach.”

Easy walking to the beach, shops and the Dyffryn Estate pub, longer walk to the ysgethin Inn which is a nice dog friendly pub. Ann the owner was very friendly and helpful and we soon be back again.

- Robert, June 2023
Nicola May 2023

“Fantastic holiday house; exceptionally clean , really well equipt with amazing views.”

Thank you very much - we would highly recommend this property

- Nicola, May 2023
Russell May 2023

“A really nice cottage, great location for either driving or getting train down to Barmouth.”

The garden was great for the young kids to run around, being well set back from the road and gated. The cottage was clean and tidy and we all had a great holiday there. Minor notes for improvement, the sofas are a bit deep/low for the older guests. There are several different instructions sheets for the house, just one would be easier to follow. given the stairs are quite steep a stair gate would be useful for children.

- Russell, May 2023
Karen March 2023

“A very comfortable, well-equipped cottage with a great kitchen.”

Very easy to feel at home. Exceptionally clean. Excellent garden for the dogs. Only caveat: ensuite shower cubicle is not very big. I was fine but not for husband but shower over bath more than makes up for it. Heating timing might benefit from adjustment as morning fine but didnt come on after that except for our last night. Freestanding heaters excellent. Perfect location.

- Karen, March 2023
David December 2022

“Love the property, we have been going to this property for 6 years now and love it.”

The only thing we feel it could do with is a wood burner instead of the little electric heater it has which doesn't do much to warm up the rooms in winter. Also the little flame light didn't work either so you didn't even get a fire like glow.

- David, December 2022
Rhyan October 2022

“Second time staying here with the family including the dog.”

Secure garden, quick responses from Anne and peaceful. Will be back again I’m sure. Thank you

- Sally, September 2022
Alan August 2022

“Tyddyn what a lovely cottage to rent for a week with a nice view across to the sand dunes & a great base to explore the Snowdonia national park.”

We enjoyed waking up in the morning to see the cows & sheep in the fields around the house. The Owners made us feel very welcome & would suggest this cottage to anybody looking to explore Snowdonia. Thanks for a great stay.

- Alan, August 2022
Clare July 2022

“We arrived at Tyddn on a very hot Saturday evening, it looked exactly as it did in the pictures from the outside.”

Inside was spotlessly clean, everything you could need was in there.. again very clean. There was even a delicious Welsh Bara Brith waiting for us! The beds were really comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the living room comfortable and the garden perfect and completely enclosed for our dog. We visited Barmouth and Harlech beach, both 10 mins away.. went to Porthmadog 25 mins away.. and some beautiful waterfalls nearby. We all had an amazing week, we actually managed to pick the hottest week on record to holiday... so all in all, the perfect holiday for us! We would absolutely come back to Tyddn. Thank you

- Clare, July 2022
Wheldon June 2022

“Tyddyn is an absolute gem!”

On arrival we were greeted with a with a complimentary bottle of wine and my favourite Welsh cake. The personal touches were evident everywhere. Even dog bowls and blankets were supplied as we had specified that we were bringing a pet. The garden is secure and dog friendly. In fact everything about the house was perfect! It was clean and tidy and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location has views across the bay, ideal for watching the amazing sunsets, and central for visiting the North Wales coast. I have stopped at many locations in the area and I can honestly say that this is the best I have experienced. I literally cannot fault Tyddyn at all. I will definitely book again.

- Wheldon, June 2022
J May 2022

“Both us and the dogs had a fantastic holiday.”

Many walks for the dogs very close to the cottage. The garden was very dog friendly and very safe. The cottage itself was homely and exactly as described. We would certainly return - to the cottage - another year.

- J, May 2022
Meyrick April 2022

“A very well appointed cottage, comfortable, excellent location with large enclosed garden for the 2 dogs.”

Highly recommended.

- Meyrick, April 2022
Karen March 2022

“This property was an absolute delight to stay in.”

In particular the views from the kitchen at sunset looking out over the sea with the mountains backdropped behind was breath taking. The garden is perfect for the dog, the cottage itself is charming. Great location for planning day trips along the coast or into Snowdonia. Worth mentioning that the internet was almost non-functioning so be sure to have your own 4G if that is important to you. Impossible for that to detract from such a wonderful location and stay.

- Karen, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback, and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The owner has confirmed that the internet connection is working fine, and the current guests have confirmed that there are no issues, however we are sorry if you experienced any issues. Thank you again for your comments. Property Owner
Jackie November 2021

“We had a wonderful stay at Tyddyn, lovely cottage with an enclosed garden for the dogs.”

Beautiful stretch of sandy beach within walking distance. Close enough to Anglesey and Snowdon. It certainly ticked all our boxes. The wine and cake was a welcoming touch. We would definitely book again.

- Jackie, November 2021
Diane November 2021

“We have had a lovely stay and thank the owners for making the house so clean and comfortable.”

The wine and home made cake were a lovely gesture. The cottage is in a great location with several beautiful beaches on your doorstep, great for walking the dogs on at this time of year. You also have Snowdonia National Park to venture around so the best of both Worlds. Recommend the beach at sunset for the magnificent views. The house is immaculate with an enclosed garden, so we felt safe letting our dogs roam outside. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and gadgets. There is a kitchen table and a more formal dining area. The living room is comfortable and there is wi-fi. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 doubles and 2 singles and a bathroom. All in all a great, relaxing and very peaceful stay with very helpful owners.

- Diane, November 2021
Rhyan October 2021

“Had a great break with my family.”

Spacious enclosed garden for the dog to run around, such a quiet and peaceful stay only a short drive to get to Barmouth. Would definitely look to book again in the future. Thank you

- Rhyan, October 2021
Janice August 2021

“The house was spotlessly clean and facilities very good.”

A very delicious home made fruit cake and bottle of wine was a lovely gesture. Beautiful area, quiet and very relaxing.Garden is safe for dogs. Very friendy owners . Our only concern for our family was we had an elderly relative and the stairs are very steep which isnt in the description. I dont think the house is suitable for the elderly or anyone with mobility difficulties. Also shower and bath difficult. Would benefit from a walk in shower cubicle.

- Janice, August 2021
Jenny July 2021

“We have been several times before and absolutely love spending time at the farmhouse.”

The garden is perfect for our dogs as they thoroughly enjoy playing and we feel confident knowing that it is secure for them. A wonderful relaxing week- thank you Mrs Evans for your hospitality.

- Jenny, July 2021
Judith July 2021

“It was advertised as having a pub within a 2 minute walk which, as our party includes a disabled person who can't walk far, was one of the main reasons for booking this property.”

However, this pub was permanently closed and has been for many months but I notice that the property information has not changed. However, the cottage was lovely.

- Judith, July 2021
Victoria July 2021

“Beautiful property with stunning views, we had a great time and would definitely return.”

The beach is a lovely walk away about 30 to 40 minutes depending on your pace, or you can just drive 5 mins to Llanddwywe and take the turning down to the Dyffryn caravan site/ Benar beach where there is a car park for £3 for the day and some free roadside parking, and also public toilets. The beaches run along the whole coastline, so plenty of space, and dogs are allowed. Just a few small things about the property; There was no information on local things to do or directions on how to get to the beach, which would of been helpful. The garden is nice and secure for dogs however if you have a large dog who likes to jump they could jump the back wall, ours did! The curtains in bedroom are not black out or thick enough to block out any light so if you like a lie in you may struggle. It would be great to have a few more dishwasher tablets and toilet rolls, so it might be best to pack a few extra. Overall a great, clean property with amazing views in a fabulous location. There are plenty of amazing walks just a short drive away, and loads of great beaches. We loved our stay in Dyffryn Ardudwy and its surrounding area.

- Victoria, July 2021
V June 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

Great views. Enclosed garden perfect for our dogs. Future guests need to be aware two of the bedrooms have steps from the landing and in to the bathroom. Also the stairs are very steep.

Lynda May 2021

“This cottage and garden really were pet safe.”

We had a marvellous rest in the peace and quiet but only a short distance to the beach for the dogs to run and play. Views were breathtaking especially after over a year of shielding. Hope to be going back soon. Many, many thanks Mr Mrs Evans

- Lynda, May 2021
Karen May 2021

“We felt right at home as soon as we arrived with a warm welcome from the owners.”

Everything you could possibly need was provided and the beds were so comfy together with the private and secluded garden which was so lovely to sit and relax in with the dog able to run around with no fear of escaping. How nice to wake up and see the farm animals in the fields and see them close up through the kitchen window . The position of the farmhouse is ideal with Barmouth and Harlech so close by car and a shop in walking distance with a superb butchers that was so handy when spending a day indoors. All in all we had a wonderful relaxing time and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Karen, May 2021
Karen May 2021

“When we arrived at Tyddyn the cottage was welcoming, clean and comfy with plenty of space.”

The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and the stable door from there out into the garden was a great access and egress for our two dogs. The garden was ideal for us enclosed and safe for the dogs to explore. The garden furniture was great especially the bench by the backdoor which was a real sun trap. There was plenty of space upstairs all the bedrooms nicely decorated clean and bright. As there was only two of us so we used the bedroom over the kitchen which had fantastic views towards the beach and lots of sunlight. There is an easy walk to the beach which is so expansive and beautiful and plenty of hill walks above Harlech and Nantcol. All in all an excellent cottage would recommend.

- Karen, May 2021
Louise October 2020

“Beautiful holiday home!”

Plenty of room for my two dogs who also loved the garden space. Loved seeing the sea view every morning and having the private and quiet space. We loved staying at Tyddyn and hope to stay there again. It was made very clean and tidy for us. We had everything we needed there. We couldn't fault the place and any issues we had we're very little and worked itself out. Thank you to Mrs Evans for sharing her beautiful home with us. ☺️

“Lovely cottage nice welcoming bottle of wine when we got there.”

village was a bit dull covid and weather probably didn't help. wanted to take dogs on a deserted part of the beach couldnt find how to get there. but north wales very pretty and was hoping that the cottage was more secluded and out of the way this is the only reason wouldnt book cottage again the location not the cottage .

Lynn March 2019

“The farmhouse was in a perfect location for the area we wanted to explore and the owners were so kind they had made us cake and gave us a bottle of wine on arrival.”

The farmhouse was very comfortable and had all the amenities you required to make your stay home from home. The only thing I missed was there was no Wi-Fi connection but I knew that before I booked. Couldn't fault anything and I would definitely visit there again.

- Lynn, March 2019
Pat March 2019

Mrs.Evans made us feel very welcome with a lovely cake, bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. There were even coffee, tea bags ready for us to make a drink when we arrived. The kitchen is fantastic with everything you could possibly need. Bedrooms were stunning as was the bathroom. We loved our week here and would love to come again. Thank you Mr & Mrs. Evans.

Ann August 2018

“The cottage was beautiful and in a lovely setting with expansive views to the sea.”

It was clean and had plenty of facilities, especially in the kitchen, most of which we didn't use, but nice to know they were there if we had wanted to. It was a 20 minute walk to the local beach or 5 minutes in the car. The local railway station was only a 10 minute walk away. Couldn't have suited us better as there is so much to see around the area and the train rides were great, along the sea's edge. We had a fantastic week. The only drawback for us was that there was only one toilet, which was in the bathroom, upstairs, so it was difficult at times with 4 adults and 2 children, but, by the end of the week, we had some sort of routine!!!!! Would strongly recommend the cottage and were impressed by Sykes Cottages Ltd, for their communications and the handling of the holiday booking.

“The cottage was great, beautiful location although we missed it a couple of times from the road (sat back didn't pick it up) but we made it there!”

Nice cosy cottage, fitted 4 adults, 2 small dogs and 1 baby really well. And the kitchen had pretty much everything you could ever imagine to use

- Kathryn, September 2016
Linda September 2016

“We have been twice to Tyddyn and we're considering booking for next year but my husband has trouble with stairs and they are steep at this house.”

Also,there is only one toilet and it's quite inconvenient as it's in the bathroom so if someone's in there you have to wait.There is room for an ensuite or downstairs wc and I did mention this to the owners last year.Also I mentioned that the oven door didntclose properly and it still doesn't. The soft furnishings need replacing as the cushions are like wafers as they were last year and so are the pillows.Also the bathroom mats are worn and tatty.The house is lovely and is peaceful and yet near to amenities. We love it but will be looking for somewhere with downstairs facilities.Tyddyn now has a resurfaced drive which is great but a little more needs spending inside.

- Linda, September 2016
Tracy July 2016

“The cottage is in a beautiful location and is very peaceful and quiet - with just the sheep, cattle and seagulls for company.”

The owners live just next door but you don`t know they are there and were very pleasant when we did see them. It is in a good spot for the dog friendly beaches and our dogs just loved it. There is a hotel over the road from the cottage that serves good food and is also dog friendly. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We had one of our best weeks here - with the fabulous weather adding to our enjoyment - we sat outside and watched the sun go down on the longest day with a glass of wine! Perfect.
