“Great location and property is really spacious - would definitely go back Doors need to fit better especially on the bathroom which has no lock.”

Pity that the wrong instructions for accessing the property were provided and we couldn't get an immediate reply from the mobiles provided when the wrong key code was given - a bit poor that we couldn't get it straight away after a 7 hour drive. Sykes number is nowhere to be found - only got it on an account password reset email! Sykes seemed to blame the owners rather than taking any sort of responsibility.

“Lovely barn conversion well stocked with everything we needed.”

It is I n the perfect location as a base to explore both the Welsh Mountains and Coast. Mountains,Towns,Beaches,Steam Trains and many other attractions only a short drive from this beautiful location. The location has got to be the most peaceful and quite location I have stayed, great place to relax, great to see and hear the wildlife (Ospreys, Bats, Owls a more). A special thanks to Alex and his team (it was great meeting you), always nice to meet owners giving a personal touch, especially when you’re made to feel so welcome.

“We came in January 2022.”

The same problems and complaints were still there in May 23!!! Broken shelf in the fridge so you can’t put milk in, Broken light in the bathroom, sharp door latches, paint flaking from the walls, fire pit full of water! Totally unusable! Nowhere to put your drinks in the lounge when you’re seated apart from the floor. All reported in Jan 22 and nothing been done.Beautiful place but totally neglected due to greed I feel.

- Tim, April 2023

Hi Tim, We always appreciate honest feedback and will rectify the points you have raised. We encourage our guests to get in contact with Menai/ Sykes or ourselves directly during their stay in order that, if identified early, issues are rectified as soon as possible to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. You reported these issues after you had departed from the property, in spite of having our personal telephone numbers to report issues should you wish to do so during your stay. You did not report any issues in January 2022 either to us or to Menai. On receiving your feedback, we have reached out through Menai to ask that you elaborate further on the issues you have identified, however you have chosen to not respond. Aside from your public comments, health and safety issues such as informing us after your departure that you got a splinter from the banister are vital that we get to the bottom of, to ensure you are kept safe and able to enjoy your stay to its full. With regards to the private communication on the number of dogs that were left inside the cottage whilst you were out, Menai have admitted fault on not passing correct information (your original booking information stated that you had no dogs staying). However, according to Menai your payment for the dogs staying is still outstanding. It is a shame to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. As requested by email, please feel free to get in touch to discuss further the issues that you had. Property Owner

“A wonderful little cottage situated amongst some beautiful surroundings, easy to locate, great parking and catered for all our needs.”

A perfect retreat to hit the hills from and would definitely re-visit in the future.

- Adam, July 2022
Karen July 2022

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, perfect for exploring Snowdonia National Park & the Llyn Peninsula - what a stunning area!”

The cottage itself is peaceful, with great outdoor space, and we spent a fantastic week there. It would however be remiss not to mention that there are a several things that need attention / replacing in the cottage: - Broken Velux window blind in twin bedroom (unsuccessfully being held down with black tape) - Broken light fitting/razor point in bathroom - Shower thermostat tap needs replacing (cannot control temperature) - Fridge needs replacing. One shelf missing & drips water all over food - Outdoor furniture needs replacing. Two of the four chairs are broken / falling apart. Such a shame because the outdoor space with BBQ/fire pit is fantastic. This property is no doubt a victim of its own success, as it is always booked up, however if the owner could block out some time to rectify these issues it would definitely offer a better experience for future visitors. All that said, we would highly recommend this property (with the issues sorted above) & would definitely consider staying there again ourselves.

- Karen, July 2022

Hi Karen, Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry that you had an experience of the broken elements within the cottage. The new Velux blind unfortunately was broken recently so is on order, along with a new fridge - we have been waiting for delivery in order to replace these on a handover day. As for the shower/ razor point/ outdoor furniture these must have been recent faults as they have not been reported to us previously so we are very grateful for you raising this with us and we fixed these immediately on receipt of your review. All the best, Alex Property Owner
Jessica May 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

The cottage was really homely and had everything we needed. Both the owner and caretaker were so welcoming and helpful. The area itself is equally as beautiful and we will definitely be back; we might even try out the eco barn next door!

- Jessica, May 2022
Michael May 2022

“Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property?”

This will be shared with the property owner. We loved the area and the cottage was comfortable but we thought it needed updating. The kitchen tap was loose and the light and shaver socket over the mirror in the bathroom was coming away from the wall and didn't work. This was probably because the cover wasn't on it. This could of been a problem for us as there was knowhere to plug in an electric tooth brush charger. Fortunately we brought an an adapter with us. These were only small things and they didn't spoil our holiday but we felt they should of been sorted before changeover. Another thing that would of been useful is a list of emergency phone numbers for doctors,vets etc and the password for the WiFi writen down so we wouldn't have to search for it on the back of the router.

“Just a three small comments, a simple lock on the WC/bathroom door would be useful and maybe larger towels.”

My wife was disappointed with the quality of the towels. A mirror in the double bedroom would also be useful However just small points and we were extremely pleased with the property and would recommend it

Our second visit and we had a very relaxing time both out on walks and in the cottage itself which is very comfortable and well stocked with all that is needed

Jean December 2021

“Another perfect stay at one of our favourite holiday cottages.”

It was great to be back. Quiet and peaceful, with beautiful views yet close to good local amenities. The weather was not as kind to us this time but that did not affect our enjoyment - we just spent more time relaxing in front of the log burner on the really rainy days! Great to see the progress on the eco barn next door as well - very impressed with the thought and care that has gone into every inch of the work there. Thanks again to you both for a lovely stay.

- Jean, December 2021
Val September 2021

“This cottage is in a perfect location to explore Snowdonia and the Welsh coast.”

There are so many options of things to do, mountains to walk up, places to eat etc. within a short drive of the cottage. It is easily accessible with good roads in, lots of parking yet it manages to feel completely off the beaten track. It's very comfortable with everything you would need for your stay to hand and a nice space to spend time in. It is definitely worth checking this place out!

“Our third stay at his lovely cottage speaks for itself”

- Stuart, May 2021
Jerry April 2021

“The property was excellent and it was wonderful to find about how it had been renovated with the use of local materials and workforce.”

Alex, owner, explained how he is doing everything as environmentally friendly as possible. Comfortably furnished and very clean and well maintained. A nice quiet surrounding with none of the sounds we live with daily-neighbours, city sounds. Nice views from the cottage and a patio area to relax in. The location was excellent and easy to get to beaches and local hills for walks. It was also interesting to see how the second cottage is being finalised for occupation.

- Jerry, April 2021
Jean October 2020

“Our third stay in this lovely, well-equipped cottage in 18 months.”

As usual, we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful, peaceful stay again - just what we needed. Lots to explore in the local area by day and relaxing in front of the log burner by night was just perfect. Poppy the dog's particular favourites are Black Rock Sands beach and the cottage's paddock. We look forward to our next visit.

- Jean, October 2020
Tom September 2020

“Love N. Wales and this was a cracking spot and a great location for climbing, walking and beaches!”

Accommodation was clean and comfortable but if I were to be picky it would have been nice to have a welcome pack about the property with WIFI code written down! Only one door could be unlocked but that’s not especially important! But don’t know what the second key was for! On the booking it mentions laundry and towels provided but there were no towels! Not an issue at all as we appreciate that these are very different times and we brought our own, but just needs to amend the website! All in all a great time was had and we would not Hesitate to recommend the property. Tom

“Modern, yet cosy and traditional cottage in great surroundings We were two couples with a dog and really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage is modern and has great traditional features. We felt really at home and would love to stay here again on our next holiday to Snowdonia. The place was very clean and our dog just loved the fireplace!

- Thommes, February 2020
Jean December 2019

“Our second holiday this year at this lovely, cosy cottage.”

Superb location with fabulous views. Quiet and tranquil, but close to local towns and villages for shopping and amenities. Perfect base to explore this beautiful area in Wales. Thank you to Alex and Zanna for another great stay.

Julia October 2019

“What put us off was the visit and constant drive pasts of the caretaker.”

At 8:18 on our 1st morning he came calling, his hand on the door handle ready to step in. Fair enough he came to tell us that the extractor fan wasn’t working but surely this could have been written in a note. I was in my PJ’s making chit chat - no thanks I’m on hols. I felt I was being watched the whole time. On check out at 9:40 he arrives again with mop & bucket in hand, at 10.05 barges in so please be prompt with check out time. Unfortunately I got the times mixed with a previous cottage who’s check out time was 11am, :( The crockery was filthy had to be rewashed before use, upstairs was cheaply finished and let the place down. Take plenty of loo roll, only one supplied, cheap brand at that. For such a beautiful renovated cottage the finishing touches let it down, why has everyone got to shop at IKEA. The location however was top marks for us

- Julia, October 2019
Patricia September 2019

“Tyn Llwyn Cornel is absolutely lovely in a beautiful tranquil location - surrounded by sheep, cows and stunning mountain views, staying here is extremely relaxing, a place where you can sit back and enjoy nature.”

Very comfortable, cosy, and well-equipped, this is the perfect base to explore the beaches and mountains of Snowdonia. I highly recommend Tyn Llwyn Cornel and would love to return - the same goes for our dog who had a whale of a time!!

Lovell July 2019

“Stayed at this beautiful barn for a weeks holiday and wasn’t disappointed.”

Set in lovely grounds and close to lots of different attractions and beaches. The barn was modern with a rustic feel and had everything we needed for a family of 4. The owner Alex was great and easy to contact with any questions. He gave me loads of info before the stay about the area and different things to do there. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. Can’t wait to return

“A wonderful, very peaceful location with fabulous views close to local amenities and all that Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia have to offer.”

Lovely, secure paddock area - we loved the extra touches like the huge log bench, the slate plinth table and the new tree planting. Perfect location for our very nervous rescue dog too. Many thanks to Alex - such a friendly, helpful owner (as were all the people we met locally). Can't wait to go back.

Ian Little Jul 2018

“On the approach my daughter asked why were we staying in a bus shelter.”

The cottage is dwarfed by the magnificent surroundings. Certainly much larger inside than it appears outside. Very well equipped and comfortable. Some lovely craftsman furniture. Very quiet country location apart from the occasional toot of a steam train chuffing across the vista. We even spotted an Osprey hunting in the paddock. Just one warning, the bathroom is downstairs and the stairs are quite steep if you don't have 100% mobility. There is so much to see and do in North Wales I'm sure we'll be back soon.

The property

The quality and detail that has gone into this dear little cottage is superb, both inside and out.

With a subtle mountain theme, perfect for its' setting, much of the individual furniture has been hand crafted from local wood - we adore the coat hooks! "Tyn Llwyn Cornel is a superb renovation of a derelict stone barn, perfect for exploring the superb coastline, magical valleys and the majestic mountains of the Snowdonia National Park." Keen ramblers and climbers will enjoy the close proximity of The Moelwyns, Cnicht (the Welsh Matterhorn!) and Tremadog Rocks.

With central heating and a wood burning stove, it is so warm and welcoming to return to.

In addition to the guides and maps at the cottage, the owner is an Army and Civilian Mountain Leader and happy to offer advice on rambling and walking activities. A short walk from the cottage takes you to the Glaslyn Osprey Centre where you can watch these spectacular birds raise their young.

You can also grab a snack and a coffee while waiting to take a scenic ride on the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog narrow gauge railways. Just a mile away is the popular hostelry, Brondanw Arms (known locally as The Ring) and a village shop.

Enjoy the tranquillity, peace and nature of the cottage location while also being just a short drive from the coast and many of the area's best visitor attractions - including the Welsh Highland Railway which is only 200m away! Take a look at the goings-on at Tyn Llwyn Cornel on the Instagram page.

BEDDGELERT

The picturesque village of Beddgelert lies in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Beddgelert is a bustling village with arts and craft shops, tea rooms, welcoming pubs, including Saracens Head and the Royal Goat, and restaurants, centred around the Afon Glaslyn river. A leisurely stroll along the river will take you to the Aberglaslyn Pass, one of North Wales’s most famous beauty spots. The Welsh Highland Steam Railway passes through the village on its journey from Porthmadog to Caernarfon.
