“A lovely, comfortable and romantic cottage that leaves little to be desired.”

A beautiful, spacious garden with lovely views. A very comfortable bed. One suggestion would be: a comfortable armchair.

Gary May 2026

“Absolutely loved old Ty'n y Wern, cosy, spotlessly clean,very well equipped and comfortable it's set in beautiful surroundings that are so peaceful,only the sounds of sheep and birds,the garden is well kept with areas left for nature to go about it's business and gorgeous big oak tree for the birds to sit it,the cottage itself is like something from a fairytale and we loved it,it's in a good position to give easy access to anywhere you want to go in north Wales, Suzanne has done a wonderful job with this cottage and it is a credit to her efforts,if you're a bit on the weak side the front gate may be a struggle but we had no problem with it also if you're a of limited mobility the stairs to the bedroom could be a problem so check out the pictures first and don't moan about them afterwards,if you are thinking of booking old Ty'n y Wern don't hesitate just book it you won't be disappointed,can't comment on the shepherds hut as we never used it but if the cottage is anything to go by I'm sure it's lovely,old Ty'n y Wern is definitely on our returns list,we can't honestly praise it enough,thank you Suzanne for a lovely week we were so sad to leave but look forward to returning at some point.”

Steve May 2026

“What a lovely cosy little cottage full of old features and tastefully converted.”

A well equipped kitchen, cosy bedroom, beautiful stairs and such a lovely dining space....and of course the shower rock who I will miss dearly. A beautiful enclosed garden which was a real bonus for our dog. We absolutely loved sitting outside with a cup of coffee in the morning and wine in the evening listening to the lambs and birdsong. And such a lovely area for walking too. Bala was a bustling little town, friendly locals and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Steve, May 2026

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's so nice to hear that you had a wonderful holiday in the cottage. I see that the feedback isn't published. If you would be kind enough to publish it, others can see what you thought. I hope that you think of returning in the future. With best wishes, Suzanne Property Owner
Robert February 2026

“Lovely cottage, would book again, log burner was a game changer for extra warmth in the evening.”

The path to the front door could possibly do with a couple of bags of stone where there are pockets of mud especially when it is raining, but overall a lovely stay thank you

- Robert, February 2026
Lesley December 2025

“A wonderful 400 yr old building with so much character and quirkiness.”

Felt like home - a happy comfortable place filled with so much history. Couldn't have found a more lovely place. Well set up with everything we needed. It was a wonderful Xmas retreat. Wood burner, glass of ginger wine, and our two dogs hogging the warmest spot in front of the fire. Perfect.

- Lesley, December 2025

Thank you for such a lovely review. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your Christmas at the cottage and had everything you needed. I'm pleased your woofers enjoyed it, too. Wishing you a happy 2026. Best wishes, Suzanne. Property Owner

A lovely relaxing warm feeling cottage with everything you need plus the lovely history attached to the cottage so peaceful and full of nature to watch it takes you away from everything and the dogs chilled

- Sally, December 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and you found everything you needed. I do hope that you'll visit again. Thank you, too, for your thoughtfulness. Best wishes, Suzanne. Property Owner

Mike August 2025

“This property is perfect, its use of space is wonderful, It's not ideal if you are 6'2" when you come into the property but once inside it is great.”

Cosy, quiet and close to everything. Ideal for couple who want a quiet time even if you have a dog

- Mike, August 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback about the cottage. From your comment in the visitors' book, I am assuming that your rating for the facilities refers to the Coop and Spar closing at 10 pm. I'll make sure that this is included in the information. I hope to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, Suzanne Property Owner

David July 2025

“We had a fantastic stay, the only point to raise is the lack of outdoor seating.”

We drove to Bala and bought 2 camping chairs to enjoy all areas of the beautiful garden. Hoping to come back in September.

- David, July 2025

I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Old Ty'n Y Wern and I do hope that you are able to come back in September. Thank you for the positive and helpful feedback. There is outdoor seating, albeit made of wood or stone, so I will pop some folding chairs in the utility store room. Many thanks, again. Property Owner
Chris June 2025

“The cottage was lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable.”

The garden was very interesting with the outcrops of rock. The cottage was well equipped and spacious. If you are taller than 5 foot one then you need to watch your head on one beam and the entrance door. It is a very quiet area just the sound of sheep around

- Chris, June 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is much appreciated. I hope that you will visit again in the future. Best wishes, Suzanne Property Owner
Clair June 2025

“The cottage is beautiful , full of history with lovely beamed vaulted ceilings , brand new log burners and thick old stone walls.”

The garden is huge and very natural but the grassed areas are neatly mown making it easy for dog owners. The scenery amazing as you would expect from such a lovely area. The beaches are only 40mins away at Barmouth and the very quiet undiscovered Fairbourne. Inside the cottage the feather cushions and quality curtains and rugs give a luxury feel. The bed is very comfortable with wonderful Sanderson bedding . The owner Suzanne is lovely and not intrusive at all but there if you need her. Milk ,tea and coffee also Welsh shortbread was provided on arrival. This is a wonderful historic cottage with everything that you need. If you want a modern sleek kitchen this is not for you but if you want a spotlessly clean character filled romantic holiday cottage this is it!.

- Clair, June 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Old Ty'n Y Wern. I do hope you can come back in September. Thank you, again. Best wishes Suzanne Property Owner
