Tryfan Cottage

If you are looking for tranquility, in a cosy, character cottage, this is it.

Such a relaxing, peaceful place to spend time, in beautiful surroundings and only a few miles from the local town. Host is lovely too.

We had a wonderful stay at Tryfan Cottage.

The house is well equipped. The cottage is off the beaten path. Be aware that the driveway is narrow. You can walk to Tryfan Station and hop on the train. We would stay there again

A clean, comfortable, quiet, well equipped, rural cottage ideally situated for exploring the local area.

If its peace and quiet you are looking for this cottage is ideal the only noise is the sound of the birds and the occasional passing steam train. - bliss!!

Lovely clean, comfortable and warm cottage well equipped with all you will need for your stay .

Very quiet and peaceful surroundings with a friendly owner and a nice view over surrounding farmland . Road to property tends to be very narrow in places but very little traffic so not really a problem. Had a very nice stay and would be happy to use again.

A super cosy cottage in an ideal location.

Had everything we needed, only slight thing we struggled with was the washer dryer not working very well. But otherwise we had the most amazing family holiday.

Really lovely cottage - warm and cosy, bigger than it appears in the photographs and so peaceful.

Perfectly positioned for access to the mountains, the coast and Anglesey. We had a great stay even though the weather wasn't great.

We spent a lovely week at Tryfan Cottage.

Very friendly welcome by Louise which was so nice after a long drive. The cottage has everything needed for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Beds are very comfortable. It was a treat to look out and see 3 beautiful horses grazing each day. Would highly recommend Tryfan Cottage. Thank you Louise. Ian & Gill

Cottage was well presented; clean and tidy …… bed was comfortable .

would have liked a slightly bigger sofa to cwtch up on ….. enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again .

We stayed here with our two children.

The property had everything we needed for comfortable self catering stay in Wales. We found everything to be clean and in working order. The secluded location at the end of farm lane and track was why we chose this property. The location was perfect to catch the Welsh Heritage Railway from Tryfan junction at the end of the drive and various beaches and historic castles. The rooms and interior of the property were cosy and well kept. The drying room/ porch was a welcome feature knowing the Welsh weather. The only downside was limited kitchen space to store food outside of the fridge, but we managed. A very enjoyable stay (July 25)

We had a great week here, lovely cozy cottage that was equipped with everything you need,plenty of kitchen utensils,even supplied containers for packed lunches for days out,spotlessly clean and very comfortable, bedrooms were light and airy with a very comfy double bed and plenty of storage space,the information pack is the best and most informative we've had at any cottage with great info on local walks(definitely worth doing) information on the history of the place and all the instructions you need for the appliances, plenty of space outside as well with beautiful views,we enjoyed sitting outside with a drink watching the horses,goats,squirrels and resident buzzard and in the late evening watching the little bats zipping about,there is a single track road up to get to the cottage but we had no problems at all with that and only met three cars on there all week but got passed each other very easily, Louise the owner met us on arrival and is very friendly,she lives in the farmhouse nextdoor so is on hand if needed but totally unobtrusive,all in all we had a lovely time and were very sad to leave,I would not hesitate to highly recommend Tryfan cottage to anyone and we will definitely be returning at some part, thank you Louise for a great holiday in your lovely cottage.

A relaxing stay in a lovely isolated location with local walks and easy access to the local sights.

This is THE place.

So cosy, Incredible landscape, calm and quite. It is the best place to relax and enjoy. The cottage is lovely and the host is very friendly.

This was our second stay at Tryfan Cottage, as we so enjoyed our first stay eight years ago.

The owner was very welcoming and the cottage had everything we needed to make it feel like home away from home. If you enjoy the rural life, this place is for you. If you want peace and quiet, this place is for you. If life allows, we will be back in a few years.

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

An excellent location with walks from the door in a relaxing and beautiful environment. Peaceful and pleasurable driving to explore the Lleyn Peninsular, Anglesey and Snowdonia all within a short distance.

Very comfortable and well equipped.

Excellent position for exploring the area. Owner friendly and approachable. Loved all the tourist leaflets - very useful but there are many duplicates and some are rather old. Could perhaps do with a sort out.

Beautiful setting with a view into the distance over fields, trees and wild flowers.

We liked the remoteness, but it is a 1.5 mile drive along a single track road. Clean, cosy and well enough equipped. Chairs and bed comfortable. Lovely weather for first part of the week, but then sadly the mist and rain came in. Good short gentle walks available from the property and with a little more effort Moel Tryfan and Moel Smytho are within walking distance.

Very nice location to enable a complete getaway Easy distance to historical locations which we were visiting Very quiet and tranquil

We had a fantastic stay at Tryfan Cottage.

The owner (Louise) was extremely helpful and did everything possible to make sure we were happy. The cottage itself is very well looked after and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, with plenty to explore within driving distance as well as lots of walks in the immediate area. The Welsh Highland Railway has a stop at the bottom of the drive, but be warned that it is very expensive so make sure your phone the booking office to check prices before you board the train.

This property was perfect for us as a family of 4 with a 6 and 2 year old.

It is in the middle of nowhere safe and secure, surrounded by stunning scenery but still within and easy car ride of Anglesey, Caernarfon, Llanberis and other places of interest in the area. The space has really been maximised well and was more than adequate for us for the week. The bedrooms are spacious even with the sloping ceilings, the stair gate was in place as we requested, the bathroom space has been used so efficiently and it was great to have a separate bath and shower with young kids, kitchen has every pot, pan and utensil you’d have at home with is a rarity in a holiday cottage, living room is nice and comfortable and the utility space at the back with the washer drier was a god send for us for the kids beach wear! Everywhere was clean and comfortable and even with the wet Welsh weather we were blessed with at times, the cottage was warm and comfortable. The welcome pack provided is detailed and appreciated- it’s lovely to get a bit of history of the cottage and the local area. Louise, the owner, is just next door and came to check in with us on our first day to make sure everything was ok, which we really appreciated and when we had a couple of questions during the week she responded quickly to texts - again much appreciated! Other than that we only saw her down in the horses field from the window; I read in an earlier review that the owner being next door gave a lack of privacy, I have to say we did not feel that at all, she was completely unobtrusive. She did come to say bye as we were leaving and check everything had been ok, again friendly and appreciated- thank you Louise! My girls loved that they could see the sea from their bedroom window and that they could see the horses and goats whilst sitting eating their breakfast - the goats in particular provided them with a few laughs! Highly recommended and we can’t wait to come back :)

One of the best places on earth.

A lovely little cottage in a beautiful environment.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely well equipped cottage.

It was delightfully warm and cosy when we arrived and the Welsh cakes and flowers were a much appreciated extra touch. The cottage is in a very peaceful location with fabulous views but close to good pubs and within easy reach of the mountains and beaches. There are lovely walks from the property and we loved seeing the steam train go by. Thank you to Louise for sharing this place with us, we hope to be back soon!

A very tired house, furniture downstairs really needs changing.

Walking into a house that smells musky, the sort of smell my granny's house smelt like in fact isn't something that is nice being on holiday, putting up with it in my grans house is one thing, a holiday home completely different. The cottage was filthy, grease on the kitchen walls and utensils isn't nice and I needed to wash cutlery before feeling that it was safe to use. The grill didn't work and therefore I couldn't cook any bacon but thinking back I wouldn't have wanted to, the roasting tray with the too small grill rack in it was very greasy, the oven smelt of a deep fryer. There were cobwebs all over the place and it was pretty dusty. The duvet sheets smelt musky also. Very disappointed with this cottage, if we hadn't of managed to walk up snowdon with our 3 year old we would have returned home earlier than planned but we did manage to walk up the mountain and therefore too tired to drive the 4 hours back home. We stayed with a 3 year old and it wasn't nice to be holidaying in such filth as a young family. Not sure why it is rated 4, it is far from it although has great potential. The owners aren't just nearby they are on the doorstep, pictures to this cottage needs to include where the owners house is because it is deceiving if never stayed before, the description needs to change to the neighbours are next door instead of nearby, nearby is an understatement. Although they weren't looking over it felt like they were and the privacy was almost gone, had we of known how close they were we would never of stayed. We feel really disappointed as sykes is a reputable company and we expected much better from them, it has damaged our confidence and will never book again through sykes, it has almost put us off staying in cottages full stop.

Very cosy and well equipped cottage.

Great outdoor space and parking. Perfect for walks and bike rides straight from the door. An extremely relaxing environment in a rural location yet only 10mins from town.

We had a lovely week at Tryfan Cottage.

So much to do in the nearby area, we could easily have stayed another week! Thank you for a fantastic time.

The cottage was lovely, comfortable, well-equipped and clean, and we loved being in the countryside with only sheep for neighbours!

I'll be honest and say the dining area in the kitchen is a bit tight - we were 3 adults and just about managed; I don't know how 4 full-sized people would fit! But we managed, and it would probably be fine for 2 adults and 2 kids. We had a lovely week and would definitely consider coming back another time.

Enjoyed a 2 week stay at this property in rural tranquil Wales the property was of excellent standard and well placed for touring North Wales and Anglesey.

The property is clean well maintained and upstairs is larger than the pictures suggest. A charming host Louise is very friendly and helpful and we would certainly use again in the future stayed June 22.

We found everything okay apart from the vey slow running hot water.

Also lack of tea towel and dishcloth. Would go again

This was our 3rd visit to Tryfan Cottage and it was as good as ever.

The weather was dry but windy so that we could not do sea swimming. However the region is so beautiful and interesting that there was plenty to do of course and in fact we could not manage everything in a week. We did go round Caernarfon Castle, have a great day in lovely Llandudno, go on Ffestiniog, Welsh Highland and Llanberis Railways, view Conwy and Beaumaris castles etc, but will have to do the Lleyn Peninsular (good for swimming) next time! and Lla,

It was our 4th visit.

We love this cosy cottage and it’s surrounding. Bathroom is freshly renovated and really nice. Also new stove and TV.

Great base to explore North Wales in lovely surroundings.

Wonderful location and house.

Had a great holiday and The owner was great. This holiday had been held over from 2020 thanks to Sykes cottages and the owner. Cannot thank you both enough.

In a beautiful location.

The cottage had everything needed. The beds were comfy and the cottage was very clean. The location was perfect out of the way and quiet in the middle of the countryside but only 10 minutes away from the town. We will definitely be back. We loved seeing the steam train go by and all the wildlife.

Is a lovely location and plenty to see and do locally.

Particularly good for those that like walking and the scenery is spectacular. Beautifully peaceful and quiet.

The secluded location of the cottage with a wonderful outlook.

The character of the cottage and the thoughtfulness of the owner.

It's a great location, lovely host.

We will definitely be returning.

A beautiful peaceful rural location but within easy reach of the main road.

The cottage is extremely cosy, perfect for relaxation after a strenuous trip up Snowdon!! Directly near the cottage are various footpaths which are well worth exploring, offering stunning scenery for taking that perfect holiday photo.

Fantastic quiet location, lovely old cottage, well furnished and comfortable.

Just what we needed. Only criticism, the outdoor seating was an afterthought on a small Sloping triangle of grass. The place could do with a little more relaxed outdoor seating and the table area being level. There is loads of space outside do this.

Great location for peace and tranquility.

Host welcoming.

Great holiday cottage, wonderful location, great walks from the doorstep.

The cottage was cold and felt damp on our arrival.

Bedding was clean but smelled musty so much so that we bought a new quilt to sleep under. Bathroom had some mildew round the window and on the net curtain and blind. Furniture was tired but adequate. It has a lot of potential and is in an excellent location being very secluded and quiet. Its definitely ready for a refurbishment and in our opinion not worth the four ticks that sykes awarded it. And certainly didn't measure up to the o other sykes properties we've stayed in over the last two years. We cut our holiday short by two days because we were so disappointed in the accommodation.

Absolute tranquility with a lovely host, Louise.

Fantastic countryside retreat. We will be back.

If peace and tranquility is what you want then this is the place, views are fantastic and if you want to go some where walk down to the bottom of the drive and catch the train, really enjoyed our stay at Tryfan cottage

Cottage very cosy and comfortable with everything to make your holiday that little bit more special Owner friendly and helpful when needed Thankyou Louise!

!

The directions for this cottage on the Sykes email wasn't accurate so we did get lost!

However the booking process and tbe cottage itself was great.

This is a very cosy cottage and it is well worth staying here.

The location is very peaceful and there are several nice walks close by. It is also quite easy to visit a lot of attractions that North Wales has to offer and is only a short drive to Caernarfon. The fact that a steam railway is a stones throw away is a real bonus and it is always a treat to see the steam engine chugging past. If I have to nit pick a bit then the shower is a definite struggle for anyone 6ft tall or over which I am. I had to pretty much bend my knees at times to fit under and also the flow for the hot water tap in the kitchen is very slow. We had to boil the kettle and pour it into the sink in order to wash up nearly every time we undertook this as the water didn't feel hot enough so that needs improving. In conclusion though this is a cottage that we would definitely visit again and we would recommend it for sure.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the cottage.

Felt that the owner made an effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Really helpful lady on live chat was helping me with the location and amenities, suggesting available properties.

Cottage was cosy and very rural which is exactly as requested, helpful and friendly host.

Owner very friendly gorgeous location highly recommend

there were no white wine glasses only red (joking)
