“Our family group had an age range of between 2 1/2 Years and 91 Years, the farmhouse accommodated all 9 of us comfortably.”

The furnishings and decoration were great and the bathrooms and en suites as good as we've ever experienced, very spacious and with great Baths and showers. The Hot Tub, and close proximity of the Holiday park facilities , swimming Pool, Softplay, amusements etc meant even when weather not at its best there was always things for Kids to do. We all had a great stay and would definitely return.

“The Farmhouse has so much potential for being an outstanding place to stay .”

.. great house with space, fantastic garden (our g'children loved the trains over the fence), the hot tub ... However it is let down on the small things ... no 'hamper as promised when we arrived (it only came 24 hrs after we arrived after 2 phone calls) and then it was just bread, milk, butter and a small packet of Welsh cakes ... hardly a hamper; the fridge in the kitchen has missing shelves and nothing to put bottles in ... and the fridge in the utility room was not working properly; the table outside was absolutely filthy when we arrived ... a quick wipe was all that was needed; while we understand we had access to the camp site facilities there was no mention of this in the folder at the house so we didn't know what there was or how to access it ... we also had to phone reception for the correct wi-fi password. Only small things but having spent £1284 for 4 nights we expected a bit better.

“Our group of ten all had a really enjoyable stay.”

The property was very clean, spacious and fitted out to a very good standard. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus. Very convenient as well as close to the local station. It was also a bonus to have the reception close by as the wonderful staff there were able to sort out a few minor wrinkles without any fuss. Thankyou. Highly recommended.

Nicola March 2025

“We really enjoyed our stay,bathrooms and bedrooms were great spaces, the hot tub was a great addition, as was the pool table.”

The kitchen was well equipped although a little on the small side.The location was great,with Barmouth and Snowdonia within easy reach. The WiFi connectivity could have been better, and there were some maintenance issues with both dish washer and tumble dryer. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay, and would go again .A slightly later checkout would be desirable. Many thanks.

“This accomodation is one of the best we have stayed in.”

Huge House, very well equiped kitchen. Evenings were spent in the hot tub, playing pool, or playing board games in the kitchen. We had a 5 year old, so the small soft play area in the caravan site opposite was a god send (Free of Charge). Also the pool {Free to use}, in the caravan site could be booked for your family in 1 hour slots. Their was also family entertainment at their other site 10 min walk away. All in all a great time was had by all.

Hayley July 2024

“Had a fabulous stay in wales.”

The cottage had everything we needed with loads of space and the recently added pool table and hot tub made it extra special with something to do for everyone. The train station was fab and only 5min walk which took you straight into lovely Barmouth but trains don’t run very often so you need to be organised and we never heard the train in the house. Sunnysands which is part the Lyons group campsite where the the swimming pool is and bingo is a 10 min drive but we loved Bingo so worth it. We went to Ysgethin pub which is a 10 min walk and well worth it to have a beer in the picturesque garden by the stream. Overall I would recommend this cottage and everything we did like Snowdon, zip lining, white water rafting, Portmeirion was only an hours drive away. Hopefully we’ll come back to Wales soon!

“The house was in a perfect location and was well equipped with everything we needed.”

- Tracey, May 2024
Patricia March 2024

“For a group of seven it was a lovely large house, though the kitchen size was a bit limiting - not much the owners can do about that!”

One single bedroom was without a wardrobe - I think that should be rectified as there was plenty of room for one and it would avoid the person in that room having to use wardrobe space in another room.

- Patricia, March 2024
Geoffrey September 2023

“Property very nice and quiet.”

Bedrooms extremely comfortable with lovely bathrooms. Trains were not running during our stay but concerned that it might be noisy had they been.

- Geoffrey, September 2023
James July 2023

“This is a great holiday home in a good location for easy access to the sandy beach or to drive into Snowdonia .”

The kitchen is not huge but it is very well equipped with a handy hatch to the dining room. Otherwise the house is spacious and very comfortable with great bathrooms. The garden with its playhouse was perfect for our young grandchildren, if only the weather had allowed us to use the outside dining area. As others have mentioned the WiFi is poor unless you are close to the router. Overall a very good holiday home and we would happily return.

- James, July 2023
Ruth July 2023

“This house was fantastic for our big family holiday birthday celebrations, the bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms were of a very high standard and very comfortable as well as the sitting rooms, the kitchen needs a bit of tlc, some of the door handles were missing off the kitchen doors , the dinning area is lovely but it a squeeze for 10 persons as 4 have to sit on a bench, we did not use the BBQ but it looks a bit tired , we visited the swimming pool at the sister camp site which was fab you book an hour slot, kids liked the soft play, we all loved the amusement arcades, and the long walks across the beach just down the road.”

Ninteen 57 restaurant was also brilliant they looked after us very well, the happy hour was much appreciated , we all really loved our stay in this beautiful house , and the location is perfect to explore nearby Barmouth and we also had dinner at Norbar restaurants, it's a little more pricey but really lovely food and the views are stunning. Many memories made for my family from 9 to 80 years old

- Ruth, July 2023
Alison June 2023

“Property was great, well equipped kitchen, brilliant garden.”

Use of stair gates and cots was a great bonus. Was a shame there was a small charcoal bbq in the garden when listing photos showed a large gas one and was a struggle to get signal on tv's in the bedrooms. WiFi was rubbish if you were not sat in the room where the router was. Bedrooms were very spacious and loads of bathrooms too. Use of the local swimming pool was a great addition too. Would recommend and stay again.

- Alison, June 2023
Debbie May 2023

“This house has everything you need for a family holiday.”

Lots of space and places to spend a bit of quiet time if you want. Good location and the beach is a short walk away. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils. Bbq needs an update. It was a bonus having access to a small pool and soft play area on next campsite.

- Debbie, May 2023
James April 2023

“Beautiful property, spacious, light and comfortable, had all we needed, situated near the railway, though you wouldn't know, great access to other areas, such as Harlech, Barmouth.”

Also had a little welcome pack of food. Enjoyed our stay immensely

- James, April 2023
Jackie March 2023

“The house is fabulous!”

It suited our family party of 10 perfectly. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautifully presented, with quality linen and fittings. The downstairs space is great, with room to spread out, and a utility room for coats shoes and bags. We only cooked brunch but the kitchen had everything needed to cater for 10 people. The children were well provided for, with outdoor space, and games and DVDs for inside entertainment. However, there were a couple of issues... The website advertised WiFi access and use of a swimming pool, and this influenced our choice of property. But there was no information in the house about accessing the WiFi, and I had no joy when I tried to contact the owner. Also, when we took the children to the neighbouring caravan park to swim, the pool was closed until Easter, despite the fact that I had phoned to check just a few days previously whether it was open. I believe the house has undergone a recent change in ownership/management (eg the contact name on Sykes website is out of date) so maybe they are still putting final arrangements in place. It would have been helpful if this was mentioned when we booked. However, once these issues are solved we would definitely stay again.

- Jackie, March 2023
Joanna November 2022

“The property is excellent and very spacious and comfortable.”

We were pleased to find large pans in the kitchen, suitable for a family group's meals. The only thing we would have liked added was a cafetiere. Great position near the beach and the pool at Sunnysands was lovely. Really good value for money.

- Joanna, November 2022
Callum September 2022

“Wonderful stay that provided our party with all the amenities we needed to make an absolutely incredible week!”

Well kept and the perfect blend of cozy and rustic. My only disappointment was being unable to bring the dog with us, but the area and home more then made up for it. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of holidaying around North Wales, well worth the stay!

- Callum, September 2022
Susan September 2022

“Fantastic house.”

Comfy and clean. Fantastic location. Lots of amenities close by. would definitely recommend. However, bring your own favourite utensils from your kitchen because the kitchen is poorly equipped for 10 people.

- Susan, September 2022
Sara July 2022

“Second visit to Tyddyn Goronwy.”

Fantastic house in a great area with lovely views. Everything you could need is at the house, with a lovely garden to relax in. A 10 minute walk takes you to the fantastic beach. Lots of amenities around, with a great pub within walking distance (Ysgethin Inn). The pub is in a beautiful setting along the river.

- Sara, July 2022
Peter May 2022

“Nice to have some luxury on holiday with space and cleanlines in a good location.”

Thank you from Pete and family

- Peter, May 2022
Megan February 2022

“Gorgeous house in an ideal location, lots to do in the area, thank you for a lovely holiday, would be better if the WiFi reached the tv so you can watch Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube ect.”

Would give people something to do on a rainy day.

- Megan, February 2022

We are so pleased you enjoyed the house and area. We are sorry that you were not able to access your Netflix account etc, this is a first as we have not had this problem before. There is a 4G mast just up the road too. There are in excess of 100 DVD's to choose from in the drawers of the coffee table also. Property Owner
Paula November 2021

“We absolutely loved this house and its location.”

The house itself feels incredibly warm, cosy and welcoming. And the standard of décor was spot on. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable, with great bed linen. We would genuinely come back and stay here. And there aren't many places we would say that about.

- Paula, November 2021
Gill September 2021

“Lovely location for a group with young children, lots of space in house and Sandy beach within walking distance”

- Gill, September 2021
Beverly September 2021

- Linda, August 2021
Russell June 2021

“The house was fantastic.”

Great location and great size. The owner was very helpful before and throughout our stay, answering any questions and queries we had very promptly and thoroughly. The only negative was the lack of wifi, otherwise everything was spot on.

- Russell, June 2021
Liz June 2021

“The house was perfect for our family holiday”

- Liz, June 2021
Emma June 2021

“Really appreciated the welcome basket on arrival.”

- Emma, June 2021
Sharon May 2021

“Fantastic house, spacious,clean and most importantly comfy beds.”

We have 4 kids ranging from 1 year to 5 years old, they loved the garden which is huge and safe for them to run about in. Nice large outside table which was great as we ate breakfast & the evening meal in the garden most days as the weather was so good. Beach about 10 mins away. Station literally 2 minutes away, we caught the train to Fairbourne. It's great way to go up & down the coast if you want to avoid the traffic. Would book again.

- Sharon, May 2021
Janice September 2020

“The house was lovely, well kept, well equipped, very clean and we had a lovely time.”

WiFi was poor, no mention of house being beside a railway line In the description although the trains weren’t frequent or overly disturbing, Description said we would have the use of a swimming pool which wasn’t correct.

- Janice, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Customer comments are very important to us The swimming pool has been closed due to Covid 19 restrictions and will be available from March 2021 Property Owner
Sara September 2019

“Lovely house in a great place in Wales.”

Lots of walking can be done from the doorstep with a train station seconds walk away from the house. (You don't notice the noise!) Facilities ok, few issues with showers but reported them to owner on departing. Wouldn't hesitate to go back to Tyddyn Goronwy as we had a great week, despite the awful weather.

- Sara, September 2019
Mr Cox August 2019

“The house was immaculate, very well appointed, and the complimentary basket was very well appreciated when we arrived at the property.”

The property is even better than the photos suggest. The only minor issue which could be addressed simply by adding a trellis or some other natural screening, is that the adjacent camping site has a toilet / shower block immediately next to the house which does takeaway a degree of privacy. Kind regards, Michael Cox.

- Mr Cox, August 2019
Linda May 2019

“Our cottage was perfect for 10 friends meeting up for an annual holiday.”

We were situated close to Snowdon and Cader Idris for the fittest and a beautiful beach 5 minutes away for the rest. The nearby swimming pool was lovely and warm and often empty. The house had everything we needed. When one person asked for a lighter duvet, it was delivered very quickly. All staff were very friendly. We would all give the house full marks.

- Linda, May 2019
Elaine April 2019

“There is so much to say about this house and all good - it's under 10 minutes stroll to beach.”

A few minutes walk to the train to Barmouth/Harlech. The house itself is well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. We had three generations staying the youngest was five and the eldest over seventy and each and every-one of us enjoyed it. We hope to return and that in itself says it all. The older children complained about the speed of the Wifi but to us that was a bonus as we got them out and about more.

- Elaine, April 2019
David November 2018

“The house made us all feel “right at home”, very comfortable and cosy.”

We had a great time and made some fabulous family memories

- David, November 2018
Mike November 2018

“Excellent cottage.”

Well appointed, spacious, comfortable and great for a larger group of family or friends.

- Mike, November 2018
Sheila October 2018

“Most enjoyable holiday, great house very warm and comfortable”

- Sheila, October 2018
Maura H September 2018

“This is a perfect setting for a larger family group, or group of friends vacationing together.”

With two comfortable reception rooms, and a spacious dining room, six bedrooms (two en suite, plus two "family" bathrooms and two extra toilets) there is plenty of room for everyone in a large group. The house is decorated and equipped to a very high standard: even in the nicest self-catering house, there is usually one thing you would change or improve -- I can't think of a single thing The weather was wild and windy while we were there, but we managed to find brighter moments for great walks, and the beach is a short stroll from the house. There were some very interesting options for eating out, even within walking distance. Tyddyn Goronwy was a terrific find!

- Maura H, September 2018
Jane July 2018

“A lovely house - we want to pick it up and put it anywhere in the country where we are having a holiday !”

! It met all our varied needs and was so well equipped .

- Jane, July 2018
Virginia June 2018

“This home was perfect for our three families to share.”

It had every amenity that we needed for our holiday, including a helpful welcome hamper of food for our first breakfast upon arrival.

- Virginia, June 2018
Alan May 2018

“It was a lovely property and location.”

Lots of room for large family with all the facilities a family would wish for. There was no indication in the description that the property was surrounded by caravan sites nor that other facilities available e.g. swimming pool was a short drive away at another site. However this did not spoil our holiday as was out of season but could impact on others staying during high season. The owner was very helpful when we did have a couple of small queries.

- Alan, May 2018
Ian April 2018

“A lovely comfortable and spacious property ideally located for the beach, local pubs and restaurants and general sightseeing.”

Our party of 5 adults and 5 children( aged between 1 and 11 ) were more than adequately accommodated in the 3 storey house. There was a very generous welcome pack on our arrival and the information pack provided was very comprehensive covering lots of different subjects. The only downside was the WiFi wasn’t that brilliant but we managed and because of the local terrain it was probably only to be expexcted. The property owner, Sarah Williams, with whom I had 2 telephone conversations, was a very pleasant lady and was able to answer all my questions as well as give good advice. A great holiday was enjoyed by my entire family and I would highly recommend it to anyone who was thinking about it to rent.

- Ian, April 2018
Emma March 2018

“This property is ideal for two families to share.”

Great location too.

- Emma, March 2018
Margot October 2016

“The property exceeded our expectations.”

The property and all it's facilities, fittings and furniture was fantastic. The only comment would be that it is not made clear the swimming pool is located a mile away. We had a great family birthday get together.

- Margot, October 2016
Abbi May 2016

“The house is a beautiful, spacious, family home that is very comfortable and well-placed for road/rail and walking down to the beach.”

We would definitely book this property again and would highly recommend it.

- Abbi, May 2016
John April 2016

“A very comfortable house in a good location.”

- John, April 2016
Ann April 2016

“It was great for our big family gathering, the grandchildren loved the big baths!”

There was plenty of space and everyone was very comfortable. The heating was so efficient, we were warm all the time and the luxury of log fires was great. It is hard to mention everything, it was just an overall very nice place to stay.

- Ann, April 2016
Mala February 2016

“Tyddyn Goronwy was very comfortable and well maintained.”

We had a very cosy and warm winter break.

- Mala, February 2016
C October 2015

“The property was fantastic.”

Plenty of space, with decor and furnishings of a very high standard. We had a lovely time and are already talking about a return trip next year. The property is a short walk from the beach and very close to the train line for immediate travel. Highly recommended!

- C, October 2015
Terry October 2015

“This was an excellent house for a family gathering.”

The availability of a swimming pool was a particular attraction.

- Terry, October 2015
Andrea September 2015

“The layout of the property was well thought out in terms of bedrooms and bathrooms, it ensured space and privacy for the whole party.”

The outdoor area was very good, incorporating table and chairs, a large garden for the children to play in and ample parking.

- Andrea, September 2015
Christian January 2015

“Beautiful setting, lovely open fires with a shed full of logs to burn, excellent.”

It was right next to the beech, with amazing views. We were a group of ten and there was plenty room to move around still, the house had a lovely homey feel and flowed through with excellent furnishings. It felt like you were staying in a friend's house, it had everything we all needed, and the welcome pack was lovely. Would love to live there, when we came back to our own home we felt we were in a rabbit hutch. Loved the three floors, also the en suite was lovely as well.

- Christian, January 2015
Sara July 2014

“House was great, very spacious and great to relax in after a day out.”

Lots of things to do in the area - walk to lovely beaches, up to Talybont to see the waterfalls, Lakes nearby and adventure stuff a drive to the North.

- Sara, July 2014
Kenneth June 2014

“Lots of space in this property - large rooms, excellent bathrooms, nicley furnished.”

The enclosed garden is great for young children. The property is adjacent to the railway station from which it's possible to go on a day away without the car - or to reach the property by rail - nevertheless the trains were hardly noticeable from the property itself. We enjoyed free access to a nearby swimming pool on several occasions.

- Kenneth, June 2014
Christine May 2014

“The house was beautiful and it was situated next to a railway line which gave you options of travel to different parts of the area.”

It was very quiet and peaceful.

- Christine, May 2014
Colette April 2014

“The standard of the house and location was excellent, the area has plenty of places to visit locally and walking distance from the beach.”

As an extended family group ranging from 8 years to 83 there was plenty of space for everyone to either read, play games,watch the birds in the garden,use the WiFi or just be together. The children found the house just the right size for hide and seek and the garden was big enough to have a good run around.

- Colette, April 2014
Valerie October 2013

“The house was very homely extremely clean and spacious.”

The beds were very comfortable. The house was in an excellent position, 5 minutes from the sea with a beautiful beach, there was so much to see and explore in this area. We had a fabulous holiday.

- Valerie, October 2013
John October 2013

“Beautiful location and accommodation.”

Private and secluded. Lots of room for the children. We really enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend the cottage.

- John, October 2013
Anya July 2013

“The quality of the house, very homely and luxurious.”

Very well equipped and good quality. Bathrooms were amazing.

- Anya, July 2013
Joan June 2013

“The property was very good; all we hoped for.”

It was a few minutes from the beach so excellent for a 4yr old and enough space in the garden for play.

- Joan, June 2013
Irene June 2013

“I could not fault the property.”

Everything was to a high standard. The WiFi worked very well and we enjoyed staying there very much. Ideal for large numbers. Would recommend.

- Irene, June 2013
Linda May 2013

“Second stay for our group, overall excellent.”

- Linda, May 2013
Serena April 2013

“The location of the house was great.”

As a large group with both children and adults the two living rooms worked very well. The welcome pack was the best we have had on such a holiday. A great place to stay and I would thoroughly recommend to everyone.

- Serena, April 2013
John December 2012

“Absolutely first-class holiday cottage!”

Superb location, great views, extremely helpful owner - impossible to fault.

- John, December 2012
Adrienne October 2012

“We love North Wales and the house was in a great location to show our family a good time.”

Plenty to do with our grandchildren within an hours drive. Property was very comfortable with plenty of room for our family without feeling on top of each other.

- Adrienne, October 2012
Linda September 2012

“The house was just right for a large family get together, the standard of accommodation was excellent and there was plenty of room to spread out when it rained!”

Access to the beach was a plus and the train station nearby made travel convenient and the children loved it.

- Linda, September 2012
Paul September 2012

“A superb base for our family of 8 adults and 3 babies/youngsters who loved the lawn!”

Good directions and easy access. The quality of the house, its appearance and facilities added to our general enjoyment of a great family holiday.

- Paul, September 2012
Mrs Maher August 2012

“We have spent many years using holiday cottages and this has been the best cottage we have ever stayed in.”

The standard, comfort, decor, facilities (especially the bathrooms) surpassed everything we could have expected.

- Mrs Maher, August 2012
Gavin August 2012

“Spacious accommodation, close to the beach.”

- Gavin, August 2012
Christopher July 2012

“Location was good for visiting other places of interest in a beautiful part of Wales.”

Railway station at bottom of garden provided additional opportunities for getting about, and is in no way detrimental to the location of the property. The house provided ideal, well furnished and equipped, accommodation for our party of 7 adults and 2 grandchildren. The garden was ideal for their evening runabout before bedtime. Hens, sheep and horses next to the farm were also a hit.

- Christopher, July 2012
Patrick December 2011

“The care taken in preparing this house was much appreciated.”

The wifi, and Christmas decorations made a big difference. The heating was generous amidst difficult weather. The bedrooms and bathrooms and stunning!

- Patrick, December 2011
Alison November 2011

“Everything was great!”

Fantastic walks on the doorstep as was the train station. We could not have wished for a better place for a holiday break - even the weather was great! This house is like a home from home and we hope that we will return again next year.

- Alison, November 2011
Claire November 2011

“The cottage was excellent, probably the best property we have stayed in.”

We had plenty of room for the six adults and four children in our party. It was really well equipped and the furnishings, bedrooms and bathrooms were outstanding. We will definitely be back and would recommend this property to anyone with a large party. The beach was five minutes away and the swimming pool was an added bonus which the children enjoyed.

- Claire, November 2011
Carol September 2011

“This was a beautiful large house that allowed my family to spend time together in lovely surroundings.”

We could all eat together around the large table and relax together in the comfortable sitting room. It was next to the station which meant easy days out as buggies could be pushed onto the train.

- Carol, September 2011
Paula August 2011

“The house and furnishings could only be described as special.”

We've had a number of cottage holidays and the standard of this one beats all others! The house is spacious, and decorated and furnished to a very high standard, the bed and bathrooms were particularly spectacular. We were thrilled overall with our holiday and none of us wanted to go home at the end of the week!

- Paula, August 2011
Thomas June 2011

“A fabulous property and a real credit to the owners, one of the best holiday properties we have ever had the privilege to stay in!”

The welcome pack was excellent too!

- Thomas, June 2011
Clare June 2011

“The accommodation was absolutely first class, very comfortable and spacious.”

A perfect location near to the beach and the views of Mount Snowdon were amazing. My 18 month old son loved watching the trains pull into Talybont railway station. The complimentary hamper when we arrived was very welcoming and gratefully eaten, especially the delicious welsh cakes. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

- Clare, June 2011
Nick April 2011

“The accommodation was fantastic, exceptional in fact!”

A genuine home from home with high quality furnishings and in a fabulous location. Without hesitation we will be going back with more family and friends.

- Nick, April 2011
Claire March 2011

“This was our first holiday together as grown up siblings and the house enabled us to have a wonderful time whilst the luxury of escaping to our own space if we needed it.”

The house is beautiful and has been renovated to a very high standard with amazing bathrooms, décor and a homely feel. It was brilliant that fuel and heating was included, although we had a lovely sunny week in March. The family can't wait to go back again!

- Claire, March 2011
Adrian September 2010

“A lovely house in a lovely location.”

Very comfortable and spacious. Excellently done out, comfy beds, fantastic bedrooms and bathrooms. Views to the sea were fabulous. Very convenient for train rides into Barmouth. We had a lovely time, highly recommended.

- Adrian, September 2010
Ann September 2010

“The cottage is in a great location and perfect for our family 'get together' which included small children.”

The garden and beach were great for them to run around. The house was perfect for a glass of wine and watching the sea, and there was a pub close enough for a wander into Talybont before closing time. Fantastic!

- Ann, September 2010
John August 2010

“The proximity to the sea, just a short walk away, and the great surrounding area.”
