Ty Hen Reviews

Lynne
Had a lovely stay at Ty Hen! Very remote and tranquil but only 20 minutes drive to Bala. Nice evenings in the hot tub and good facilities in the cottage, heating efficient and nice views all around.
Emma
Lovely views. We had a peaceful, calming stay.
Claire
Lovely escape from work for the week, really enjoyed our stay, and plenty of walks for the dog :-)
Sam
A well equipped cottage with comfortable furniture and beds. Beautiful setting out of the way but close to things to do. Good quiet walks from the cottage. Unfortunately it felt a little unloved and our hosts didn't introduce themselves despite being next door, which may suit some people.
Andrew
We had a lovely time at Ty Hen. The location was perfect, the stream running outside sSO relaxing and the hot-tub was one of the best we have been too. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others, although the fire situation was dissappointing.
Kate
We had a fabulous stay at Ty Nant. It was a picturesque cottage with everything we needed for a relaxed break away with the kids. We enjoyed the hot tub, walks and playing board games.
Elizabeth
Wonderful place to stay. It was stormy weather but the cottage was very cosy and homely. Hot tub was an amazing feature and ready to use on arrival.
Martyn
Outstanding location and delightful property, loads of space, stunning views. We often pick locations with hot tubs and joy of joys this one is actually hot! We'll be back for sure
Claire
Wonderful peaceful location, the welcome pack was a nice touch. Plenty of board games to play and the hot tub was fantastic and the beds very comfortable.
