About this property
Perched in the peaceful coastal town of Tywyn, Gwynedd, is this wonderful two-bedroom holiday home, Golwg-Y-Mor. Enjoying a prime position on the sweep of Cardigan Bay on the fringes of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, with exceptional sea and a mountain view of Cadair Idris, Golwg-Y-Mor is a superb dwelling for couples or a family of four seeking their next coastal adventure. Leave your vehicle in the off-road parking space for one, before stepping into the hall to discard any coats and shoes after your journey. On your left you will find a well-equipped kitchen, where you can look forward to cooking up delicious meals for your loved ones with views of Cadair Idris, ready to enjoy over a bottle of wine at the dining table for four. After dinner, step out onto the rear, enclosed patio, where you can sip on your favourite tipple as you savour a stunning sunset. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a bottlenose dolphin swimming along the shore! As the evening cools, retire to the plush seating in the sitting room, where you can relax in front of a much-loved film on the TV. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can freshen up with a hot shower, before choosing from two well-appointed bedrooms, a double with balcony offering exceptional sea views and a twin with views out towards the hills and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Your superb location means you're right on the beach where you can try your hand at a wide variety of watersports, including swimming, windsurfing and kayaking, or simply sit back and relax on the golden sands with your favourite book. Continue exploring the town where you will find a good selection of activities, including a leisure centre with a swimming pool, excellent sea fishing opportunities, crazy golf and the renowned Talyllyn Steam Railway, where you can hop aboard a vintage steam train and venture into the Snowdonia National Park to visit the stunning Dolgoch Waterfalls. If you’re craving a sweet treat, be sure to visit the popular Holgates Ice Cream Shop, well-known for their homemade honey flavour! A stay at Golwg-Y-Mor caters for every interest, with fantastic walking cycling opportunities available in the famous Snowdonia National Park, including the imposing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia) Peak itself offering incomparable views at its top, the fun-filled Zip World Llechwedd for exploring the mines and the scenic Dysynni Valley which rests just outside of Tywyn. Meanwhile, wildlife enthusiasts can visit the RSPB Ynys-Hir Reserve for the local birdlife or spot the seals and dolphins which can be seen from the comfort of your own holiday home. Be sure to visit Portmeirion, where you can indulge in a pamper at the spa, embark on a walking tour or land-train tour, or sample the local delights at the wonderful selection of pubs, cafes, and restaurants. All this and more awaits with a stay at Golwg-Y-Mor.
The tranquil town of Tywyn lies on the sweep of Cardigan Bay, perched on the end of the imposing Cader Idris mountain range where the landscape tumbles into the sea on the edge of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. The promenade and town are all on one level, ideal for that gentle evening stroll by the clear blue water of the Bay. Shopping in Tywyn is a pleasure, with a regular open-air market, and local shops offering a wide range of local produce and gifts. The proximity to mountains and sea means the town also offers a wide variety of activities, from mountaineering to surfing, and the area offers leisurely rambles through the beautiful countryside. Slightly further afield lie the towns of Dolgellau and Aberdovey (with its golf course), while attractions such as Harlech Castle, Llanfair Slate Caverns and the Talyllyn Railway, together with the sandy beaches of the Cambrian coast make this an ideal location for a relaxing break.

We had read reviews about cleanliness and wondered what we would find. So firstly what a fantastic location. You can access the promenade from the garden although there is a drop to jump down, so we accessed it via the road instead. The house was clean as such apart from the fan above the shower which we noticed the day before we left was caked in dust. I think where people have previously complained it was dirty I would say its in desperate need of maintenance. We didn't for example use the bread bin, it was clean but the base was peeling so it looked dirty. All the top of the microwave looked as though the plastic was peeling. In the lounge they've obviously had some leaks, the ceiling has different paint colours on, the wall nearest the TV has plaster pulling away from the wall and it's completely off near the ground, paintwork around light switches needs re doing. In the bathroom there is black mold starting above the shower and mold around the taps and the sealant is black in areas. Tge bin is rusting, such a simple thing to rectify. We thought about contacting the housekeepers but these are things that can't be sorted on one visit and hopefully they know about them and have informed the owners. We can say that we had the best nights sleep whilst there, the bed was very comfy. We would love to return to the property but not in its current state, but if its sorted we would not hesitate to return. We've got photos of the issuesif they would help. I'm sure that the issues will be sorted.

Water visible and running down on inside interior wall next to TV and side of pictures. Looks like it's where the balcony is above. That wall remained damp throughout week. Plaster and paint is being pushed out in bubbles due to water behind it. Front bedroom, street side, window handle is very stiff to open and close and frame is rusting away inside due to salty / sea air. Front door lock mechanism was very loose and key kept sticking when turned to lock so great difficulty trying to pull the key out. However caretaker sprayed WD40 into lock when changed light bulb on landing upstairs on Weds 11th and much easier to turn key to lock and open. When stiff, the mechanism comes out slightly so this will be an issue when stiffens up again. Also lightbulb that was changed on Weds 11th was flickering from Thurs 12th onwards so looks like there's a connection issue. Left these comments in the housekeeping book also.
