Snaptrip says

Ty'n-Y-Ffynnon Cottage in Barmouth is praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped amenities, including a hot tub. However, some guests noted challenges with accessibility due to steep, uneven outdoor steps and the property's hillside location. The housekeeper's helpfulness is frequently mentioned, contributing to a pleasant stay for those without mobility issues.

Guests that stayed at this property said

While most reviews do not mention cleanliness, one review describes the property as 'extremely dirty', suggesting significant room for improvement in this area.

The location offers amazing views and is appreciated by guests, but the steep incline and accessibility issues present challenges, particularly for those with mobility concerns or young children.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with comfy beds and a lovely fireplace. The property is well-furnished, contributing to a cosy and enjoyable stay.

The reviews provide mixed feedback on facilities and maintenance. Positive mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and hot tub are contrasted by a report of a problematic front door lock and concerns over safety due to the property's layout. Without a consensus, a score cannot be accurately provided.

There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, a score cannot be assigned to this category.

About this property

This beautifully restored cottage is built into the mountainside of Dinas Oleu, overlooking Barmouth and affording views of the historic harbour, Mawddach Estuary, Barmouth Beach and town and the surrounding mountains. 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. Stepping inside, discover the lounge, boasting a stunning fireplace with woodburning stove and an exposed stone wall feature, along with a telescope nestled in a bay window, providing an excellent space for unwinding. 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. Discover the idyllic harbour where you can sample a range of fantastic eateries when you need to refuel, or simply indulge in traditional fish and chips if that’s what you fancy. Cycle along Barmouth Bridge and down the scenic Mawddach Trail, which runs along the Mawddach Estuary, to the pretty town of Dolgellau. Round off your break with the opportunity to explore the Corris Mine or delve into the local history at the Corris Steam Railway Museum and Railway, before returning home for a movie night. Ty'n-Y-Ffynnon Cottage ticks all the boxes for a magnificent stay with your nearest and dearest.

    We checked out early it was that bad. Have tried to negotiate with the owner, but sadly to no avail so he’ll be hearing from my solicitors now.

    I already miss the view from the kitchen window

    The cottage is clean and well equipped, comfy beds and lovely fireplace. I do, however, second Graham's (NOV/23) 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 in-laws did. It takes over 20 minutes walking ( not 5/6 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!
