About this property
Nestled in the sleepy village of Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd, is this wonderful, detached home, Ty’n Y Clawdd. Well-presented throughout and benefitting from an enclosed garden with kennel, Ty’n Y Clawdd welcomes families and three dogs looking to retreat to this picturesque corner of Wales. Rustle up a feast in the well-appointed kitchen, home to an assortment of integrated appliances making it a haven for any budding chef, and relish mealtimes with loved ones at the dining table for six. Move round to the living room where the multi-fuel stove and seating invites cosy movie nights, or use this space to socialise with the group, enjoying a board game or discussing where next to explore. Venture out to the private garden, separated into two levels with the top tier offering an enclosed space that is perfect for dogs to roam about, whilst there is also a kennel for them at night. The lower tier comprises of another lawned section with a patio area with seating, ideal during those summer periods when you fancy a drink outside. As you look to catch your rest, there are three delightful bedrooms upstairs; the master hosts a double bed with Smart TV and sea views, while there is also a twin and a bunk room to catch your sleep before embarking on more adventures. When you’re ready to explore, amble over to the nearby Benar Beach, sink your toes in the sand or paddle in the waves; you may wish to visit the fascinating Cors y Gedol Neolithic Site or choose from an array of walking trails that pepper the area. The village of Dyffryn Ardudwy offers a pub, Cadwgan House and a local convenience store where you can grab any cupboard essentials. Those keen walkers can take advantage of the Welsh Coastal Path and the Ardudwy and Mawddach Trails. Hop in the car and venture to Harlech, discovering the beautiful 13th century castle, now a recognised World Heritage Site, or enjoy a round or two at Royal St. David’s golf course. Ty’n Y Clawdd is a charming retreat, whatever time of year.
Between the breathtaking golden beaches of the North Wales coastline and The Rhinogs, a section of the Snowdonia Mountains, is the peaceful community of Dyffryn Ardudwy. Due to its peculiar location, this quaint community enjoys a warm climate and has excellent local restaurants and bars. A fascinating variety of animals and birds, including soaring buzzards, can be found nearby. Only 4 miles away lies the little town of Harlech, which is dominated by its magnificent 13th-century castle, a World Heritage Site and the most stunning of all the castles Edward I built in North Wales. Due to its renowned Royal St. David's course, Harlech is well-liked among golfers. It also has a great selection of amenities, including some high-quality restaurants. A ferry to Fairbourne, where you may ride the miniature railway, or a boat journey out to sea where you can try your hand at mackerel fishing, are both available from the harbour in the nearby town of Barmouth. This is a great vacation destination all year round because of the wonders of Snowdonia National Park and stunning Cardigan Bay.

Beautiful large garden area with various areas to go and sit down in. Literally a 10 minute drive to seaside village of Barmouth with shops and a great fish and chop shop, The Mermaid. Lovely beaches nearby to walk the dogs and get some fresh sea air. The accommodation had everything you needed, with a well stocked kitchen with plenty of kitchen essentials, e.g. plates, pans, cutlery etc. The lounge and dining areas were clean and comfortable with a smart TV, log burner, comfy sofas and a large dining table. My only feedback on where improvements could be made to make our stay perfect would be to invest in some new bedding for all the three bedrooms. The bedding seems old and dated, although clean, e.g. duvets, duvet covers. The pillows in all the bedrooms could do with replacing as all of them were very thin and flat, at home I normally sleep with two pillows, I had to use five due to how thin they were. The same with the cushions in the lounge area, four cushions however, they were all flat as pancakes. Overall, lovely accommodation, great location and would stay again, but would bring my own pillows from home to ensure a good nights sleep.

The hot tub was also greatly appreciated by our teenagers . Close to some amazing beaches and surrounded by beautiful countryside. There are shops and pubs a few minutes away too . Unfortunately the 4 nights we were there were significantly impacted by the broadband being down for the entire stay .
