Tyn Y Gorlan

We had a great stay.

Sian and husband was great. Love the decor of the cottage. Views to die for. 3 adults 6 small dogs. Plenty of room for all. The highlight was Ernie the farm dog he was a delight to see every day. Yes he leaves a poo parcel. If your a dog lover it doesn't matter. It's his territory so embrace him. He's gorgeous. We will defo return. ❤️❤️❤️. Chris Trish Joy 6 pooches

We loved our stay at Tyn y Gorlan, Set in a beautiful, peaceful rural location, mountain and farm views .

.Comfortable and well equipped, cosy beds and welcoming owners who were always around and happy to help, It comfortably accommodated eight adults and five dogs. It’s an excellent base for walking, exploring and days out, a car is essential for reaching shops and attractions.After a day exploring, it was lovely to return to such a quiet and relaxing setting, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The property is especially dog-friendly, with a large, enclosed garden and sheep and cows next door. Our dogs loved it, and we appreciated knowing they couldn’t escape. Dog owners should note that Ernie, the friendly local farm dog, is a frequent visitor and can squeeze through very small gaps!. He is lovely, but this may be worth considering if your dogs are unsociable or if you have a female dog in season. A wonderful, peaceful countryside retreat for a large group and several dogs, with scenic mountain views and everything needed for a relaxing stay .

We had a great week here August 15th onwards, 6 adults, 3 children and 3 dogs.

The House is set well out the small village up a tight lane, but this is an endearing feature, we found it wonderful. It's got all you'd need, 2 living rooms, a large kitchen and a large Bathroom, 3 bedrooms and 2 put up beds should you need, outside the kids could have fun on a large lawn, this could do with a bit of a tidy round the borders. 3 car parking. And view's to die for, we've all said we felt relaxed. Sian spoke to us on arrival and before we left, lovely lady.sure all that book will enjoy.

We had a lovely time at the cottage, the location was amazing, right in the middle of nowhere with the only neighbours being sheep, cows and horses, and the occasional, very friendly farm dog.

No night pollution meant some fantastic views of the night sky, and if you have never seen the Milky Way properly then this is the place to come!!! No real niggles about the accommodation, it did the job and was lovely, but in one of the generous lounges the two settees were a tad hard.

Wonderful views.

Brilliant for our dogs, not even our chihuahuas escaped and we could let them out without any worries. Sian and family so helpful, DVD player wouldn't work, a quick phone call and they were there, old taken away and few hours later a new one arrived, set up and everything sorted. The whole family were Wonderful. Everything we needed was there and we also took advantage of offered dog sitting as we wanted to visit portering.

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage had everything we needed. Was cosy, clean and comfortable. Really comfortable beds . The most amazing views , having the sheep, lambs and cows around was so sweet. Our dogs loved it. It is very out of the way and a bit of an adventure to find it but it is worth it !

Really lovely stay, everything we needed to hand, comfy beds and lovely location, listening to the birds singing and lambs jumping.

Had the best time , the kids loved it they loved the horses , we would book againg

Our second stay at Tyn Y Gorlan, it won’t be our last.

We loved every second of our stay here, the cottage is homely and cosy. The location is superb, there are so many great places to visit in the area too. One week just isn’t enough !!! 10/10

Wonderful cottage.

Wonderful host. 5 stars and will definitely be coming again.

A lovely New Year break away with my friends and our 3 dogs.

The house over looks stunning views. The horses visited every day and enjoyed their carrots and apples, also the dogs liked roaming around the gardens. There's plenty of room in the kitchen for us enjoy all of our meals together and play games too. There is also plenty of room upstairs, with each bedroom having comfortable beds.

Sein met us in the village and took us to the cottage it is a tricky find but like all things easy once you know how.

The property is a good size and had everything we needed perhaps a bread knife would be a good addition Loads of farm animals sheep cows chickens and horses The 3 farm dogs are cunning at getting in the garden despite all the fences Close for local attractions and shopping at Porthmadog is good and we tried three of the takeaways all good tasty food. Would I go again most certainly 4 people 6 dogs room for all

1/11/2025-15/11/2025 Vanessa, Simon,Jellie, Lizzie, Celia, Pauline Millie, Mufin, Maple, Malig and Harry Our 5th stay at the cottage and as usual we had an amazing stay.

Lots of Quality family time together, film nights and games ect. Weather took a turn on the last day, but we were warm and cosy inside. Sian was brilliant yet again nothing was too much trouble for her. We’ll be back again soon !!!.

Have had a wonderful week at this cottage along with glorious weather too.

Sian, the owner, was very helpful, as was her son - very friendly and at the end of the phone if needed. Cottage is warm and cosy and beds so comfy was hard to get up! Plenty of walking, exploring the area and then the peace and quiet in the evenings to chill out and relax - just perfect! Visited Porthmadog, Criccieth, Borth-y-Gest, and Harlech, where the ruins of Harlech Castle are worth a visit, (fab dog friendly cafe there), along with Harlech Beach which was a firm favourite - long sandy beaches where the dogs could run and have a paddle. Recommend the Bryn Arms at Gellilydan for Sunday Carvery and the Oakeley Arms Hotel at Maentwrog, and the Victoria Inn, Llanbedr, for lunches - all reasonably priced, warm friendly staff, and very dog friendly. Highly recommend this cottage and will definately be returning!

My ex husband and I stayed at this amazing cottage with our three dogs.

The house itself was clean, well equipped the host Sian had thought of everything. Visits from sheep, cows and farm dogs at the gate was amusing and kids would love it. We so appreciated the rapid response from Sian and her husband when I managed to flatten the battery on our car. We would love to visit again and would 100% reccomend to everyone without hesitation

Brilliant location.

Dogs had wonderful time. Family so helpful. Will look to return

Lovely cottage.

Great views. Fab that we could all take our dogs. 5 in total. Secure garden keeping both children and pets safe. Great family place to stay. Its location suited us, nothing about.

Lovely cottage.

Big bonus was the neighbours ie: sheep with lambs and cows with their calves. No road noise except for the occasional farm traffic which didn't bother us at all. Very restful stay.

We loved Tyn Y Gorlan.

From booking to arrival & beyond Sian and family were so helpful and made us feel very welcome. Think Sian booked the weather for us too

We all had a great great time 2 adults and 5 dogs.

Everything was great very comfortable everything we needed. Even the Wi-Fi which was great. Location was amazing very quiet. Not too far to Black Rock Sands which is our favourite beach. Lovely outdoor enclosed space to sit out in. The girls (dogs) didn’t want to leave. Will definitely be back, hopefully sooner rather than later fingers crossed

Our second visit to this idyllic cottage.

Well equipped, spotlessly clean, with a wonderful host. Dog friendly with plenty of walks close by. Off the beaten track, but with great internet connection. What's not to like !

Absolutely amazing cottage in a superb location.

We took 6 dogs with us and we had an absolutely brilliant time and will definitely return. It is in a peaceful location about a mile and a half from the nearest village which doesn't have a shop so just stock up with food and drink for cozy evenings indoors if you are using this during the winter,as we did. Porthmadog and Criccieth are not too far away . We went a couple of weeks before Xmas and we still talk about our long weekend away. The dogs and children with us loved the place. Real home from home and so dog friendly. Credit to the owners who have made this a magical place to visit .

We have just returned from an amazing stay.

The cottage was warm and welcoming. We even had Christmas decorations which was a lovely touch. The garden was lovely for the dogs fully enclosed and safe. The location is beautiful set among the mountains very peaceful but a short drive away to local amenities The property is well kept and comfortable. There was only three of us so it seemed huge. It is ideal for a large family. The host was lovely. She met us at the property and explained everything. She even text us to check all was ok I would definitely return again

This is our 4th Visit to Tyn Y Gorlan and we loved being here as much as ever.

Cosy nights by the fire, Games nights and 4 furbabies and long dog walks on the beach, I mean Whats not to love? Add to that the most beautiful, Cozy well equipped Cottage and stunning Views Imaginable and you’re in absolute heaven. Sian Was an absolute dream as usual, nothing was ever too much trouble for her and made our stay Incredible thank you sian. See you next year

The property is everything and more that larger family and pets could wish for.

Really well equipped kitchen, plenty of space and views to die for. My only concern was the low, squishy settees not ideal for hubby who has mobility problems but this would not be a problem for everyone. We all had a great week and Sian was a great host. Meeting is at the beginning of the holiday and explaining various things regarding the property.

Just spent a week here with my wife mother in law my mom and 6 dogs had a wonderful time owner was on the other end of the phone for anything we needed the views from the house a day garden are outstanding and it's fairly easy to drive to many towns or dog friendly beeches would definitely recommend and revisit

There were 8 humans and 5 doggies we found the house to be in a lovely location, with amazing views, it was a good base to explore Snowdon, Bedgerlert, zip world, bets y coed, Porthmadog with supermarkets not to far away.

Sian was lovely and was in contact throughout and even dog sat for us which was brilliant that we could go out and not have to worry or rush back.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming rural farm cottage in Wales with our family and five dogs, and it was a truly memorable experience.

The setting was wonderfully secluded, offering us the perfect opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the serene countryside. The cottage itself was cozy and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was how dog-friendly the property was, with plenty of space for our dogs to roam and explore the surrounding fields. The owners were very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay with our furry companions. However, we did notice a bit of mould in some areas of the cottage, which could have been addressed with a more thorough cleaning. While it didn’t significantly impact our enjoyment, a bit more attention to cleanliness would have made the stay even better. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the Welsh countryside. It's a great spot for families and dog lovers alike, and with just a few improvements, it could be truly exceptional

We loved our stay.

The property is in an amazing area with nothing much around you. It was our second visit. The dogs loved it - yes the farm dogs and a Jack Russell visited the garden but were all soon shooed away. Sian was lovely and kept communicating with us but left us to it too. Thanks for a great holiday xx

We had a fantastic time.

The property is in a beautiful, peaceful location ideal for our dogs.The property was well equipped with super comfy beds.We receceived a warm welcome and text information before our stay from the owner.We would definitely book again.

This was a very comfortable holiday cottage for seven adults, a baby and a dog.

Sian was very friendly and helpful, sorting out an issue that arose in the week very quickly. The location of the cottage is wonderful, with views of the Lleyn peninsula and the surrounding hills. Criccieth and Porthmadog are nearby and there are also lovely walks from the cottage itself. I hope we will be able to return someday.

Sian made us very welcome on our arrival by meeting us in the village and asking us to follow her as the cottage is lovely and remote.

She made sure we were okay with the everything before leaving us to enjoy our stay. The views are amazing 360 degrees. The only noise is the sheep and the birds so tranquil you could stay forever. The local places to visit were great with beaches which were mostly dog friendly and as we had 5 dogs were greatly enjoyed. There were also some nice peaceful walks around the cottage as well. Would certainly recommend staying here to anyone.

The house is in need of a thorough clean.

The garden is not suitably secure enough to keep dogs inside or the farm dogs out, particularly when the farm dogs came into the garden several times a day to wee on everything and leave their poop behind which we then had to clean up, this also meant we couldn’t let our dogs free roam in the garden as a couple are not dog friendly and they could get through the fence too. The showers were barely functional, imagine a watering can with a flower head on the can…. One of the lounge rooms furniture was so hard and uncomfortable to sit on, it was like sitting on concrete. The beds were ok. We were a group of 7 adults and 2 children. The fridge and freezer space was minimal. Overall our stay would have been much better if we had all had a little more comfort along with freedom to let the dogs in the garden without constant supervision. The location was perfect, beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings with lovely walks.

This is our second time staying here, we stayed here back in 2019 & we love it so relaxing the owner Sian is lovely & she is always there to answer any questions we have & always gets in touch before our stay.

We will definitely be back again, it's like home from home

One of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had.

The cottage is idyllic it as all the charms of the countryside that town folk like us would love to retire to permanently. 7 days is definitely not long enough to stay in this gem of a cottage with your four legged best friends. The countryside surrounding the cottage is so beautiful and rugged and you are nestled between Snowdonia and criccieth in a beautiful semi isolation boasting both mountains and seaside that you can hike straight from the house discovering all the walks this abode's location offers on its doorstep. Black Rock sands near Porthmadog was our dogs favourite haunt running between the waters edge and the sand dunes on every dogs dream the sniffari. Returning to the cottage's warm fires in the evening tired after long glorious walks with our five fur buddies was heavenly. The pups stretched out on the rug in front of the fire and us snuggled on the cosy couches was so heart warming as they dreamed of their daytime adventures noses and paws twitching and we reflected on ours. But the cottage is so tranquil, cosy and homely that staying home and reading a book in this beautiful country cottage is just as appealing and fulfilling There is nothing hotel like about this holiday let it feels like home your ideal home. The enclosed garden is large even for a golden doodle a springer spaniel and 3 large sproodles. There is also 12 acres of land adjacent to the cottage for your furry friends and you to explore but livestock sometimes grazes the field so just be mindful of this. The kitchen/ dining room is spacious well stocked with utensils and equipment enabling you to cook up anything you wish to make, needs a teapot however for us Yorkshire folk lol tea is black gold to us Sian . The shops are not to far away in porthmadog so supplies can be topped up anytime and the nearby village of portmeirion from the prisoner can be explored in all its mediterranean glory. The bedrooms are spacious, beautiful and the beds comfortable and warm There is a lovely deep bath upstairs and a gorgeous shower for relaxing and pampering tired muscles after all the fresh air and long walks Sian is lovely and allows you to relax in privacy whilst still keeping in touch via text if required. I will be booking again for another wonderful winter experience thank you Sian for sharing my family and I's dream cottage. It was winter when we came so was cold so we can not comment on what the sunny days at this property are like my bet is just as wonderful ,

Just perfect.

...

Stayed here in Nov 23 for one week and could not fault our stay.

Everything was perfect from the location (secluded but not too far away from towns/beaches/walks) to the size & cleanliness of the house and facilities available we couldn’t have wished for more. Siân was very lovely and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely visit again soon!

The fact that this is our 3rd stay at the cottage in as many years speaks volumes.

Once again we found the perfect combination of rest, relaxation and some much needed family time, with all our pups with us. We absolutely love it at the house, its a world away from the normal stresses and strains of day to day life. We were once again transported into a place with exceptional views and the most stunning surroundings, so much so that we all feel so sad when its time to pack up and leave. The house was once again perfect, spotlessly clean, wonderfully cosy, and set up to make us all feel welcome, including special arrangements once again being made by Sian for the disabled member of our group. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and once again she made it clear that she was just a text away should we need her, which is always reassuring. We have booked to return for a 4th time next year, but for two weeks next time, because trust me, one week in that cosy cottage, surrounded by those beautiful views, could never be enough.

Fantastic holiday home!

We all really enjoyed our self's plenty of space for us all ! Beautiful views , the dogs enjoyed the large garden and space out side, sian was there if you needed anything, lovely stay thankyou.

A very disappointing stay here.

Not what we expected after reading all the raving reviews. We arrived to a broken front door which meant we couldn't lock the property all week; the owner promised it would be looked at but we never heard from her all week about it. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable. None of the bedroom bins had been emptied from the previous guests. The toaster was also broken. The dishwasher has a dodgy button which meant it was pot luck if it worked or not. My daughter dropped something under the sofa and when we moved it to get it there were clumps of dog hair. The window in one of the bedrooms was locked shut and no key was available. The brown sofas are rock hard. The property does have a lovely large garden, however it is fenced with a strand of barbed wire at the top. The visiting dogs jumped the fence every day to use the garden as a toilet - we had to pick up dog mess every day from them. Cleanliness was not the best either - dead plants in the kitchen, worn out 'trinkets' and the previous occupants dirty dish clothes. Everything about the property is basic, (take your own knives!) I have raised all of these issue with the owner but so far have not received a reply.

This property is excellent, it has everything required for a comfortable holiday.

The beds are very comfortable, and everything is spotlessly clean. It is also very well equipped, with great attention to detail. It’s location is perfect, very peaceful, yet within easy reach of all the local amenities. We would have no hesitation in returning to this property in the future.

We had a lovely holiday here.

If you’re looking for a peaceful holiday home in the country that allows dogs this place is for you. The holiday home is surrounded by fields and there is a farm nearby. A secure garden for our small dog. Sian the owner was helpful, we met at her home on check in day to show us exactly where the property was. This was really very good as the sat nav only took you so far down the country lane. We had a very comfortable stay. The kitchen had all you would need to be able to cook meals here if you wanted.To have a freezer in the kitchen was a bonus. We loved seeing the sheep, lambs, chickens and horses in the field’s surrounding the property. We were lucky to have been staying when a foal was born. The house was easy to keep clean as downstairs floors were ceramic tiles and rugs. Upstairs is carpeted except for the modern bathroom. We were lucky we had a warm spell of weather during our holiday but could keep the rooms cool easily as lots of windows could be opened. Ideally located for where we wanted to visit Portmeirion, Criccieth, Porthmadog & Harlech. Train service at Criccieth is very good.

Great location if you are looking for stunning views and peace and quiet.

The neighbours are sheep and chickens. Garden is not secure if your dog wants to get out. Everyday we had visits from a small terrier and sheep dogs who had no trouble getting in and out. Sian and family are very friendly and were on hand if needed. She recommended walking to the next house for eggs, amazing eggs!! The beds were super comfy and we all slept well. The cottage has 2 lounges so ideal for larger groups, the brown sofas were really hard but the red one was lovely. The tv in red lounge has Netflix so ideal with kids. I would recommend this cottage and will definitely visit again!

Everything was fantastic as always,Sian is very helpful and can’t do enough for you,this is our 3rd visit,and will be returning again,wales is a beautiful place to be

The property was very clean, specious and lovely location.

If you want to get away from busy life and this is the place to stay.

Lovely property and host.

Great views . Fantastic for a large family get away. Dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

If you are looking for a remote property then this is for you.

We had a family gathering comprising 6 adults, 1 child, 1 toddler and 2 dogs and the property had no problem accommodating us all. We found the cottage cosy and warm despite wintery conditions. It is well situated for exploring towns and beaches. It overlooks Criag Goch, a mountain that is worthy of ascending directly from the cottage. Our thanks to Sian for making us feel welcome. I would recommend this property.

Fantastic wee place with great views, plenty space, and an awesome host Plan to book again

Fantastic place.

Great hosts. Coming back next year !

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

This was our 2nd holiday at the cottage, and we booked to return next November before this holiday was even over. It’s such a warm and cosy place to be when the wind is howling and it’s pouring with rain. As a family we spent lots of quality time together along with our 5 family dogs, who absolutely adore it there, their tails never stopped wagging from the moment we arrived, they loved running on Black Rock Beach, it was lovely to see them chasing each other and again, the humans relished the stunning views. The cottage is immaculately clean and Sian, once again made us all feel incredibly welcome, nothing is too much trouble for her, she made it clear that she was just a text away should we need her, she’s a lovely lady, so friendly, we all love her to bits. We can’t wait to return next year, and don’t worry Sian, we won’t forget to make your chocolate cake

Beautiful house, we really enjoyed our stay.

The views from every window were spectacular. Nice comfy beds , had every thing we needed. Garden secure for dogs which was great. We loved that the house was nice and warm. Black Rock sands is only 20 mins away, you can drive onto the beach which was fantastic for my four dogs.

Enjoyed the holiday very much nothing was to much for the owners

The cottage was excellent location which catered for adult's and 5 dogs plenty of room for all.

.. great secure garden and the Owner check ins with us was lovely!!

This cottage has the best location of any cottage I have stayed in.

Completely away from everyone else in the middle of the countryside with a friendly horse, sheep and cows around. The garden is a good size and my dogs did not escape and I have a tiny chihuahua to a large ridgeback that can jump high, however there were some farmer’s dogs that seemed to be able to get in the garden, although never tried when my dogs were present. I would definitely go back to this cottage, location has the wow factor!

We came as a family of 5 and 4 dogs and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

The cottage was clean and very well equipped, having two sitting rooms came in very handy. Being surrounded by cows, sheep and chickens was lovely and a great noise to wake up to. My son loved feeding the horse, in fact I think it was the highlight of his holiday! Sian was very friendly, without being intrusive and loved hearing about the history of the cottage. Would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay & would love to return, lovely location & property.

The Brown Chairs/Sofas could do with replacing as they are hard & not comfortable.

this cottage is perfect for dogs they enjoyed the holiday as much as we did we all loved the horse over the fence beds where comfy which is always a plus we would use the cottage again

Our 7th stay in the wonderful cottage .

Spectacular views and the cottage is like home from home with everything you need . Sian the owner goes out of her way to mayor you feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble for her . Large enclosed garden which is safe for the dogs and gives them plenty of room to run around . Great walks from the cottage and numerous stunning beaches close by . Can’t recommend this place highly enough . Thanks again Sian for making our stay so special .

Firstly, we’d like to say thank you again to Sian and her lovely family for being so welcoming and kind to us.

The cottage is beautiful, set in picturesque and tranquil surroundings with the most stunning views from literally every window. I couldn’t get over how beautiful it was. We took 6 dogs with us and you’d honestly never know dogs were allowed as the place is kept immaculate. The cottage is in a perfect location with so many great places to visit. There is a comprehensive and informative welcome pack and visitor book which I’d recommend reading through so that you can get tips on places to visit etc... The cottage has excellent heating (if needed), lovely bedrooms and a wonderful large bathroom upstairs (plus a second downstairs) The kitchen is a fabulous size with a large table seating 8-10 comfortably. Kitchen equipment is vast and spotless. We found that the cottage had everything that we needed (and more!) and would love to one day return. Tips:- Zip World is very expensive - they have vouchers on the counter in their reception area for 10% off your next booking. So try to grab one before you book the activities! Places we enjoyed visiting:- Swallow Falls (Betwys y coed), Black Rock Sands (beach you drive directly onto!), Abersoch, Llanberis (beautiful steam train and of course Mt Snowdon!)

Lovely cottage, perfect for dogs and little children!

Sian was an amazing host, lovely welcome from her and we got chatting like ‘friends’ straight away.

The house was in a stunning setting with fabulous 360’ views. Our whole family loved it 5 Adults 5 dogs, who loved just racing round the garden chatting to the horse too. Very close to amenities even though set in farmland with the gorgeous Snowdonia mountains around. Absolutely had the best time, we live on a Narrowboat so the bath was above and beyond luxurious Sian you have a 5 ⭐️ property and you are a 5 ⭐️ hostess we will be back xx

We had a lovely week at Tyn y Gorlan .

The property was very comfortable and excellent for dogs. Sian, the owner, was brilliant at looking after us and and adjusting to our needs. Would thoroughly recommend.

4th time staying at this cottage and as ever had a lovely stay .

Sian the owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome . Lovely cottage in beautiful location and truly dog friendly . Already booked to come back again in April :)

Absolutely amazing property, secluded but lots to explore in the area.

Both the grandchildren and dogs loved all the walks. The owner Sian had gone above and beyond to ensure our stay at Christmas was magical for the grandchildren, beautiful Christmas tree and decorations. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you Sian & family.

Our family had a wonderful relaxing week, and really enjoyed spending precious time together all under one roof.

This was made all the more special due to the fact that our dogs were able to join us. The cottage is beautiful, it’s modern and clean, and the perfect place to relish family time. The location of the house is just stunning with nothing but beautiful views all around. We are definitely going to be booking to stay again, and we all agreed on this. Sian was so lovely, she made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her, she also likes to have a joke, which was hilarious, she’s just wonderful. In conclusion, it was a fantastic break away, and we all can’t wait to do it again. Happy

Apart from the settees the property was very good.

Property was enclosed which is great for dogs

The cottage was absolutely wonderful, warm and comfortable with everything we needed.

Sian the owner is always available if needed, she checks in by text that everything is ok midweek, which is reassuring if you did have any promlems. Nothing was too much trouble for her. This is definitely a lovely safe dog friendly house and garden with plenty of room for our 3 to enjoy themselves. The cottage is nicely remote which we absolutely love with wonderful views. A great cottage, Owner and area to visit.

This cottage was perfectly dog friendly.

The garden was securely enclosed and hard floors and downstairs shower facilities were ideal. It was also great for the humans. The owner went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Fantastic countryside views.

Everything was just as described.

The owners made us feel very welcome. It was comforting to know they were around if needed. The cottage was ideal for us and our dogs. The gardens were very secure and it was such an advantage to let them run free knowing they would come to know harm. Ideal doggie heaven.

We had a lovely stay, cottage was well equipped and Sian the owner was extremely helpful.

The cottage has stunning views and surrounded by mountains that we enjoyed walking. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a family stay.

Lovely cottage and the owner was so helpful.

Not suitable for small dogs kept getting under gates also one of our dogs got stuck through a gate by her shoulders.

The sofas were uncomfortable, there was an issue with tv signal in one of the rooms, and although home was clean it was not done to a high standard aa there was a lot of dust on window sills, tv and dvd player, and other furniture items in the rooms.

We still had a lovely stay though.

Excellent cottage, very comfortable, very dog friendly.

Sian the owner extremely helpful. We all enjoyed our holiday at Tyn Y Gorlan .

2nd visit to this lovely place .

Sian the owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome . Cottage is like hone from home and has everything you need . Truly dog friendly . Great large secure garden for them to play in . Walks from the doorstep and beautiful beaches close by . Have already booked again for later this year :)

Amazing cottage in a beautiful location.

Fantastic for the dogs.

Beautiful cottage, fantastic quiet location.

Walks from the doorstep and beaches close by. Owners very helpful and welcoming.

Sian the owner of the cottage went out of her way to make us feel so welcome .

2 adults and 3 dogs stayed at this cottage for 3 nights from 19th sept . Cottage was comfortable and had everything you need and is in a stunning location . Well secured large garden which was great for our dogs . Also Sian allows you to walk on her 12 acres of land :) There are sheep and cattle about on this land so our lot were obviously kept on the lead when not in the garden . The views are gorgeous. Well placed as only 20mins to the beach and other wonderful places on the Llyn Peninsula. Definitely recommend this place if you want to get away from it all . Already booked to go back . Thanks Sian for helping make our stay so great .

Very comfortable secluded cottage with fantastic panaramic views and a good central base for local towns, villages, beeches and local landmarks.

Sian, the host was very helpful and accomodating, it was a perfect holiday for my family that we all enjoyed, especially the dog. We would definitley go again and rate this 5 out of 5 stars.

Sian goes all out to ensure the property is perfect for your Holiday.

It is a great size and perfect for family and dogs. If you want a remote location surrounded by plenty of beaches and other places to go, this property hits the mark. Have already booked for next year.

A beautiful tranquil space to unwind.

Beautiful holiday

It's really essential to accept the owners offer to meet up so that she can take you to the cottage.

That's because your Satnav and the postcode won't take you far enough up the lane so when you run out of tarmac road, you don't know which muddy stony track to take. The cottage was well equipped or even to well equipped, the cupboards were rather full and some older worn items should probably be removed to provide more storage space for visitors. The owner was extremely helpful but the description should be amended because an open fire and starter pack are mentioned. However when we asked the owner about lighting the fire she said that nobody had lit the fire for about 10 years although she did provide us with a small starter pack the next day which included kindling, firelighters and a small amount of coal so we provided our own logs. There were also no tools for the open fire but the owner also provided a brush, spade and bucket although there was no poker or fireguard. In view of our experience and the owners comments to us, the mention of an open fire and starter pack in the description are both rather misleading.The cottage is in a beautiful picturesque location with lovely views but it's also a bit out of the way although not to far from local facilities in services. We all had a very enjoyable long weekend despite the attempts of storm Jorge to dampen our spirits and blow us away.

Peaceful location with lovely scenery.

Great facilities with plenty of space internally and externally.Sian the owner was very supportive and helpful.Would definitely recommend and will certainly return in the future.

Brilliant cottage if you have dogs, quiet but easy to get too

Cottage is perfect and the owner is extremely helpful and accommodating.

I would highly recommend this holiday cottage.

Lovely accommodation in beautiful settings, if you want a peaceful location with amazing views of the Welsh countryside you can’t get much better than this.

Cottage is very clean and has everything you need and more, idea for taking dogs with 12 acres for them to roam around in. Excellent facilities and the host is very accommodating to your needs. If you book this cottage you won’t be disappointed, it is very spacious and has excellent heating, the kitchen has everything you need it’s a home from home.

The owner Sian was fantastic, kept in touch throughout our holiday to make sure everything was ok.

The cottage & views were stunning our dogs had the best time & so did we, will definitely book again in the future.

A well stocked cottage.

The owner is helpful and was there if we needed her. I've already recommended this to friends. Very good.

The location was just right for access to the surrounding area.

Expected remote and it was exactly what it said in the write up.

The house is beautiful and in an amazing location.

Sian was at the village hall to take us the final stretch to the house which was very helpful as the satnav was not taking us anywhere near it! Sian was extremely helpful giving us a guided tour of the house and explaining all of the amenities to us. The pub in the village has unfortunately closed but that didnt affect us. Plenty of land to walk the dogs on and lots of fantastic places to visit in the near vicinity. The only down side for us was the local dogs barking most of the night which disturbed our dogs so we didn't get much undisturbed sleep whilst there. One of the sheep dogs visited the house regularly jumping over the walls into the garden and pooing. Having said that this was the only negative. The house is wonderful and Sian was very good at offering discrete support which was greatly appreciated.

fab house, great location, great for dogs and kids

We loved this place all the family came and brought their dogs The weather wasn't the best as it was January But the house was warm and cosy Sian was lovely, we would return here A fantastic retreat to recharge your batteries

House was very comfortable.

Quite remote - long way to shops and pubs, but that did not matter to us. Dog friendly and plenty of space for the dog to run around outside. Great views of the sea a few miles away and the hills behind. Central for visiting many places of interest inland and on the coast. Nice welcome from the owner and discrete support throughout our time there.

Very nice stay in the middle of nowhere, beautiful scenery around.

Very quiet and peaceful but fairly close to the shops beaches etc.

A fantastic house in a breathtaking location.

8 adults and 5 dogs had a great weekend celebrating my sisters 50th birthday, the weather wasnt the best but that didnt deter us. Lovely house, comfortable and had everything you need for a holiday whether it is a weekend or a week. The garden is securely fenced so great for the dogs. Easy to find, directions perfect and the owner met us to show us around. Would definitely book again.

Sian is an absolute treasure.

Nothing is too much bother. Tyn Y Gorlan is a gem of a holiday cottage. Would recommend to anyone. After our disastrous holiday in Dune Chorus in October Tyn Y Gorlan has restored my faith in Sykes Cottages and impressed my Son and Daughter- in- law and my Grandson. Thankyou it made my 60th birthday a memory to treasure.

Lovely cottage in a picturesque rural setting.

We felt very at home here and the dogs loved it too! The cottage was lovely and warm, very welcoming after a day walking. Sian was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

What a fantastic holiday made even more enjoyable by the very accommodating owner and her family.

Nothing was too much trouble! Very friendly family. The owner even come to rescue us on arrival as we got lost! Cottage was fantastic and the views were amazing. There was nothing missing from the cottage, everything we needed was there. Our two dogs loved it too! Especially Jasper, the springer spaniel, he loved the amount of land he had to run round in. The cottage was clean, spacious and comfortable. As we stayed over Christmas, the cottage had been decorated lovely, with a tree and a few Christmas decorations around the two living rooms. We will be recommending to family and friends and will be returning in the near future. If you love the country, this is a must go to cottage, you will not be disappointed! You will see plenty of farm animals, sheep, horses, chickens and sheep dogs. Thanks again to the owner and her family for making our Christmas an enjoyable one.

We loved staying here.

It was comfortable, clean and a great base to get to all the places we wanted to see. There were eight of us staying here and it was spacious enough to accommodate us all. Sian who owns the property is absolutely lovely, very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much.

Very warm welcome from Sian.

Had a problem with wifi, Sian tried to sort it but to no avail. Amazing views from the cottage, everything you would have at home is there. I found the bed uncomfortable, but any bed other than my own is !! Very dog friendly, didn't smell doggy, lots of land to walk in but need to watch the sheep as they jump the walls & fences ! Had a great week

Cottage like a home from home so cosy and hosts were very welcoming.

Gorgeous views and plenty of private land to walk dog over, ideal location for dog owners wanting a quiet retreat. Cottage had everything you could possibly need and was very clean and well presented. Hosts greeted you on arrival and gave tour of cottage and useful information relating to local amenities. I would highly recommend staying at this cottage it far exceeded all expectations, truly wonderful stay.

Fantastic well thought out cottage.

..roomy, cosy, picturesque we all loved it and the surrounding areas are beautiful....gets a great thumbs/paws up from our 5 dogs too x

We had a really lovely week.

The owner was friendly, welcoming and very dog friendly. This was an excellent holiday for all our family, children,adults and furry friends!! We would definitely stay here again

The location was beautiful, quite and the cottage was beyond our expectations.

We had 3 generation living together and there was room to have quite time. It was brilliant for walking, just sitting or having a day sight seeing or beach days. Our host was always at hand and even came to say good bye and check we had had a good holiday. Could not of asked for more. Brilliant holiday. One of our best.

Owner was extremely helpful and friendly loved the fact we were able to take 4 dogs

Lovely place specially for dog-people.

A bit isolated but that has it's charme. Sheep all around you. Very friendly and helpfull host, who is always available for questions and travel tips. Really enjoyed our stay.

2nd shower room very small.

The location was excellent, rural and peaceful but accessible.

The cottage was even better than expected. Brilliant for our dogs with lots of areas to exercise them. The cottage was extremely well equipped with lots of thoughtful touch's to ensure a comfortable stay. The owner Sian was very helpful and easy to contact if we needed any assistance. Brilliant stay, hopefully will visit again. The llyn area is so beautiful and peaceful.

Very comfy cottage, stunning views.

Excellent enclosed garden.

Nice rural location , friendly host , plenty of space in garden for dogs , storage for bikes

The cottage has been thoughtfully furnished and made for a well equipped and comfortable home from home.

The owners live locally and are friendly and available for support should it be needed but at no point intrusive into our time at the cottage. We were four adults and four large dogs, the facilities met all our needs, there are sheep surrounding the gardens which well are fenced, so pretty safe other than for dogs with drive and ability to jump a five bar gate. We didn't want to leave, all enjoyed being in a home from home at Tyn y Gorlan.

Fantastic cottage, just as described - it was more than enough space for six people plus four dogs.

Great sized bedrooms and modern bathrooms. Excellent location to Snowdonia and the coast. Contact with the owner was very easy and she was very attentive. Thanks for having us!
