  • "Lovely, well appointed house in the most stunning location."

    It was great to be able to just walk or ride out from the house and be straight into the hills. I would definitely recommend approaching along the longer road from Dolgellau passing the foothills of Cadair Idris - not only is it the most beautiful approach but most people wouldn't fancy the steep, shorter route from the estuary, which is a challenge even for walking. We didn't use the car at all during our stay but we took lots of provisions with us, loading up in Dolgellau and making the most of our visit to Roberts for coffee and snacks. Lots of wonderful walks and very helpful owner.

  • "Words cannot adequately describe this beautiful cottage and its environs."

    The views all around the cottage are stunning - impressive mountains and the sea in the distance. The cottage is very cosy and had everything we needed. We were there for two weeks and were offered a supply of clean bedding/towels for our second week - Diolch Llinos. Depending on the amount of traffic - not usually very much - it was taking us between 20-25 mins to get through the estate to Dolgellau. There are a total of 6 gates to open and close once you enter the estate, with the last two gates taking you into the cottage. We never attempted the steep hill! There is ample parking for two cars. We had a lovely quiet relaxing couple of weeks, spending relaxing days in the cottage and venturing out to Porthmadog, Bala, Pwllheli, Betws-y-Coed and Dolgellau. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack of very useful items. Would we recommend Ty’n y graig - 100% Diolch yn fawr iawn

  • "This house was idyllic and perfect, our dream home really in an absolutely stunning and peaceful location."

    I've only marked it down slightly on a couple of minor issues. We had a bit of an issue with the water on one of the days where it stopped working, however, the owner of the property was super helpful and friendly and was on the case immediately and the issue was resolved really quickly within the same day. A washing machine would have been useful if we were staying any longer but this wasn't a massive issue for us. We had a really lovely stay and we felt really well looked after and would definitely want to stay again as we fell in love with the house and the area. Thanks for a great stay.

  • "The house was beautiful and in a stunning location."

    The views were amazing. The night skies were definitely worth being out in the middle of nowhere. The only problem was the eight legged visitors we had constantly in every room of the house even behind the bed which had the biggest cobwebs ever seen which I had to hoover before we could get into bed. But we will definitely be returning to this beautiful house.

  • "We had an amazing week in this great cottage in a stunning location."

    Our second visit to the cottage and I’m sure we will come back again. We’ve created some fantastic memories in the mountain and this cottage is central to them. Thanks for hosting us again.

    Thank you for your remarks. We are so pleased you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner

  • "Tyn y Graig is a true gem - an island of tranquillity in the midst of stunning landscapes - and distant views of the sea."

    You can walk for miles from the door, swim on the beaches of Fairbourne and Barmouth, stroll down to the Cregennan lakes or just relax in the garden listening to the birds and the lambs. The cottage itself is comfortable and well-quipped. The 'smart' radiators take some figuring out but thankfully we didn't really need them over a May weekend and for winter there's a woodburning stove. The track to and from Arthog is not for the faint-hearted or nervous driver. But (when it's open) the cross-country route to Dolgellau - though longer - is stunning. In the absence of humans, there is a definite attempt by certain other inmates to weave a web of their own around the ceilings and the corners. A quick sweep of cobwebs may be needed when nobody was in before you. But our companions all seemed very friendly and happy to relocate (temporarily I suspect) to the outdoors during our stay...
