About Ty'n-Y-Ffynnon Cottage

Set over floor floors with superb attention to detail, Ty'n-Y-Ffynnon Cottage is a special escape for a family and groups of friends.

Due to the unique location of the property, vehicle access is very difficult, but luggage and shopping will be taken up to the property via quad bike on arrival between 2pm and 4pm.

A few steps up leads into the kitchen, equipped with all the essentials for home-cooking, along with a breakfast bar with a stunning outlook over the town. Venture to the first floor and discover the stunning family bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and bath adjacent to a natural stone feature wall, plus there is also a double and a bunk bedroom.

Up another flight of stairs is the double bedroom built into the eaves, but please note there is restricted head height. A final bedroom sits on the lower-ground-floor and features an en-suite shower room.

Perhaps the highlight of this home is the terraced garden set over multiple levels; there are two decked areas with patio furniture, a barbecue area, sun loungers and a top level with a covered hot tub and changing room, so there is plenty of room for group to spread out on a sunny day. When you’re ready to explore, venture into Barmouth and discover the sandy beach, where you can spend your time sunbathing and paddling in the shores, or you might fancy trying your hand at range of watersports.

Ty'n-Y-Ffynnon Cottage Reviews

Magdalena
Amazing cottage in a beautiful town and friendly people everywhere. I already miss the view from the kitchen window
Cristiane
Beautiful cottage with breathtaking views of Barmouth and unforgettable sunset displays. The cottage is clean and well equipped, comfy beds and lovely fireplace. I do, however, second Graham's NOV23 comments regarding significant points missed out in the property description regarding accessibility that could directly impact someone's experience. Any person with mobility issues should avoid this property as they will really struggle and require assistance like my inlaws did. It takes over 20 minutes walking not 56 minutes from the car park to get to the cottage and most of it is a very steep incline. Please ignore Google maps, no vehicles can go uphill, unless you're on a quad bike or a very small 4x4. No taxis or food deliveries go to the cottage either. If looking from the beach, the cottage seems to be the highest one on the hill, hence the amazing views! Tony was very helpful, we had a problem with the front door lock and as soon he was made aware of it by us, he acted promptly and had it rectified. Amazing property for the fit and healthy!

First of all, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at TynYFfynnon. Its unique location makes the climb up the hill very worthwhile! However, there are several important omissions in the description of the cottage that could have a detrimental bearing on the stay by the elderly, disabled and young children. There is no mention about the following, which in some cases could be considered to be hazardous 1. There is no internal access to the lower floor bedroom. The only way to access this bedroom from the living area, was to use a choice of two sets of external stone slate steps that were uneven and of different heights in places. Not good on dark and wet evenings! 2. The open stairs to the first floor are of polished wood with very shallow depth on the bend at the bottom of the steps. The bend proved to be difficult to use especially when descending from the first floor. 3. Similarly, the open stairs to the second floor are of polished wood. This time, the potential hazard is at the top of the staircase where you have to navigate a right turn with a higher than usual step and nothing to hold on to. There is also an unguarded large gap on the right of the staircase at this point. 4. The outside tiers are fantastic but extreme caution needed to be used when using the steps as they are made of slate which were uneven and of different height in places. We hope the above comments are taken as constructive criticism as they are not intended to undermine this fantastic cottage. Anyone who is able bodied and not too young or old, will probably cope well with the layout . The cottage is very comfortably furnished and the kitchen and lounge are both fantastic, with superb views overlooking Barmouth harbour. There were five of us in our group, all pensioners with varying degrees of mobility. We all felt Sykes should have mentioned the above points, especially with regard to health and safety. Joanne our housekeeper was extremely helpful throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble.
Jessica
Beautiful property with amazing views! Our party consisted of 6 adults, 2 children & 1 dog. The property had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub is a nice touch, especially after the graft of walking back up the hill it is a tough walk especially with a pram & 2 children. Joanne is lovely, she meets you at the designated car park & takes all luggage up to the property on her quad, told us everything we needed to know, happy to help with anything. We would definitely return. Thank you
