Ty Cynon

The cottage was very comfortable and cozy, the heater worked very well, and the house was well-equipped with everything necessary and very clean.

We really enjoyed it and were able to make the most of our days in North Wales.

We had a lovely stay, we had plenty of supplies and everything you need for the stay.

The property was very clean and tidy. Kitchen was very well equipped and the views are lovely. The only thing that’s different from the photos was the rear garden, one reason I booked here was it looked like you could sit and enjoy the view from the rear this has now become covered with plants. This isn’t a negative but just so people are aware. You can sit at the front and back but views are a little restricted although still peaceful. Although we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather. The local town had a couple of shops and cafes, train station. All a short walk away. A few steps down the path and the views are breathtaking. Lots to do in local towns and zip world locations. We will definitely come back again and highly recommend the cottage.

The cottage had a good relaxing feel,in the evening when wood burner was was lit the gentle glow added to the serenity.

you need to bring own logs and kindling but not a problem available from Co op down the road.be aware rods to property quite narrow but worth the effort Fully equipped with all you could ever need ,very clean,be mindfully old cottage stairs steep and narrow as you should expect. Would highly recommend a stay here and will be planning retur visit in may 2026. Mr Mrs hall,plymouth,devon

As soon as we arrived through the door we felt at home, the cottage is so inviting, cosy, comfortable, adorable and just homely!

Smelt divine and inviting, had everything you needed. The bed was so comfortable. The shower was perfect. After the second night I mastered the woodburner and loved that SO much I refused to go out in the evening and stayed in and cooked our meals so we could enjoy! The welcome pack from Abi was very informative for our stay. Thank you Abi and Darren for allowing us to stay in your home and I even had a tear in my eye when I closed the door as we finally left.

The accommodation was excellent.

Everything one needs is there. Definitely come back again.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderfully peaceful place, lovely walks into town, Central to all of the other place's we went to

Ein historisches Haus mit moderner Ausstattung.

Äußerst gemütlich, man fühlt sich sofort wohl. In der Umgebung gibt es sehr viel zu erkunden. Wir können das Haus nur jedem weiterempfehlen.

Lovely cosy cottage with a couple of nice small seating areas to enjoy the sun with a drink.

No need to use the fire, appreciated the timed electric heater in the evening to keep the chill off the room. Plenty of hot water. Bed was comfy and area quiet in the evening.

Spotlessly clean, very well appointed, extremely comfortable and lots of character.

Would strongly recommend

Wonderful cottage, very cosy, comfortable and great location

We had a lovely week at Ty Cynon.

It is in an excellent location to explore North Wales. The views from the garden were amazing, over the whole of Blaenau Ffestiniog and the surrounding hills. The property itself was superbly kitted out, with everything you could think of to make your holiday go smoothly. Our expectations were greatly exceeded as the description doesn't do the cottage justice. It really is a little gem.

This was our second stay at Ty Cynon having stayed at the property nine years ago for our honeymoon and we will definitely be going back again.

The property is situated on a hill and a bit tricky to get to initially, but if you follow the directions given you will get there. The property was spotlessly clean and ideal for a getaway or a family of four. WiFi is good and easily ran our fire stick. The beds are super comfy and the cottage is supplied with everything you need for a stay. Local amenities are a short walk and local bus/rail close by. Plenty to do in blenau ffestiniog itself including zip world and steam train rides to portmadoch and back. Thirty minute drive to Betys I coed and fifty minutes to Mount Snowdon. We can't wait to come back again and are hoping to make this property an annual visit.

We really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely, characterful property in a peaceful location just above a unique and interesting town. Excellent communication from the owner Abi. Blaenau is well placed to explore the scenic wonders of Snowdonia. Top recommendation all round! Ian and Beena

First time stay at Ty Cynon We couldn’t check in on time we had to wait 30 minutes as the cleaners was still there I’m a high standard lodge cleaner at a holiday park this is not except able it needs a deep clean .

and no excuse for this as myself a cleaner had to be done all the lodges by 2pm I saw the cleaners had no mop bucket only a hoover the floors even tho they are wooden should be mopped every change over day I wiped the kitchen floor the wipe was black not the cleanest of cottages thick dust and hairs in lots of places spiders and cobwebs behind the sofa and other places the cleaners are hoovering around furniture not moving it as underneath the table and coffee table food and dust as a cleaner myself we had to do this every change over day it’s not expectable at least the cleaners did turn up at the accommodation as last place we stayed with Sykes the cleaners didn’t turn up hadn’t been cleaned. A bit of let down with Sykes again not sure who responded for the cleaning if it’s the owner or Sykes . A good cottage in a good location for us . We stay in lots of lodges and cottages in north wales and in Blaenau Ffestiniog.Good Wi-Fi . Good views Everything we needed the owner thought out lots of things and the shed was lots in there to go to beach and crabbing etc . Very well equipped. only thing the tin opener needs replacing I normally take one myself but I had forgotten it things like this could be checked by the cleaners . Stained cups and lots of dirty pans which I had to re wash yet again this should be the cleaners job . myself as had cleaner had to check on all kitchen equipment on every change over day . Couldn’t sit outside the bins smelt of maggots and lots of midges outside and couldn’t sit outside the back garden kept biting us and couldn’t have the windows and doors open they kept coming in . Think the bins should be moved into the car park space, car parking is over the road signed posted . It’s on a small road but lots of public paths so lots of people do walk by . No instructions on who and what days and where the bins go out I only saw the neighbours put them out so I put them out never had to do this before at a holiday let it’s shouldn’t be the guests responsibility to do this. No information pack folder either which normally there is in a holiday let inside the folder instructions on how to use tv . Cooker . Microwave . . Washing . Tumble drying . The wifi code check in and check out times. Owners details. What need to do on check out day strip bedding which I done lot of this in a holiday lets buy normally a laundry bag to put it in there isn’t one . Walks round the area. How far nearest beach. Snowdon . Nearest Bank’s supermarket.pubs cafes. Tearooms . Restaurants . Hospitals . Doctors. . Chemist. . Dentist. Opticians. Etc. my feedback on the first I put bad as Sykes do ask how was the first night they did phone myself the next day and asked did I want a cleaner to come back again I did refuse this as I didn’t want them coming in when I had all my stuff inside. Just slight improvement needed.

A lovely comfortable cottage full of character ideally placed for exploring the area.

Lots of fantastic walks from right outside the door. Good communication from owners. Clean and uncluttered and had everything we needed.

A very comfortable cottage in a superb quiet location with lovely views.

Spotlessly clean and everything provided for. We enjoyed the nearby walks and exploring the area. Would recommend Trish and Chips and local co-op. Thank you for our very enjoyable stay.

This was an excellent cottage and a beautiful vocation was had by my wife and I .

A very comfortable and well kept place which is ideally located to get to all of the local tourist spots. We are definitely booking again for next year.

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Very comfortable with all the facilities you need for your holiday. Ideal place for touring around Snowdonia.

We spent lovely 3 nights in this beautiful and cosy cottage.

The cottage is really comfortable, well equiped, clean, the owner was very nice and helpful. We got welcoming bottle of wine and sweets. The place is very well situated, you can easily reach Snowdon and the seaside.

Ty Cynon is a lovely little cottage.

We arrived and it was very clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything you need, the beds were clean and comfortable and plenty of clean linen and towels provided. My only comments are that guests should bring mosquito/midge repellant for the summer evenings and the doorways are small so may cause a problem for tall people - I banged my head numerous times. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this as an excellent venue for exploring Snowdonia.

The cottage was beautiful, lovely fireplace and felt really comfy for our family to have cosy, board game nights by the fire.

The hosts left a bottle of wine and some chocolates which was a lovely touch (although I’m heavily pregnant so couldn’t drink the wine.) The property itself was lovely and just as expected. The reason I’ve rated slightly lower for facilities and amenities is due to two things. 1) The location is really a 20 minute drive from anywhere nice. The actual town itself is a bit run down and finding good food there was a struggle. However, if you’re happy with the drive then there’s a few good places in Porthmadog and also the Ty-Gwyn restaurant was AMAZING!! 2) This was due to the lack of essentials - we were provided with one toilet roll (for a family of 3 - including a pregnant woman who is weeing every 2 mins) and when questioned about where I can find more, I was informed that guests usually bought their own on their first shop…. Using the toilet is a basic need and I wouldn’t have expected to have had to buy my own loo roll. They did say I could use one from the cleaners cupboard when I realised I’d ran out but I think for a 4 night stay there should be at least 3/4 loo rolls available. Similarly, a main feature of the cottage is the fireplace and it would have been nice to be provided with enough firewood for our stay. We were provided with one bag which lasted the first evening and the hosts also said we could use some spare firewood when we had a power-cut but again, we were expected to buy our own for the last 3 nights. As the fireplace is the main source of heating/hot water, therefore a basic need, again I feel this should have been provided. Overall, a lovely cottage with beautiful scenery, lots of things to do just a 20 minute drive or so away and the hosts were friendly. Just ensure you pack some extra loo roll and jumpers for your visit so you don’t get stuck on the loo/ cold if you run out of firewood.

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous.

It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a stunning location; quiet but only a ten minute walk from the high street (one footpath also has streetlights). Lovely comfortable bed with a beautiful view down the Vale of Ffestiniog from the bedroom window. We're looking forward to returning next year!

Lovely cottage in a great spot at a reasonable price.

Very clean with a very well equipped kitchen. I would recommend this to anyone & do also intend to return. The only comment is the double bed was a bit too soft for Me, but thats personal preference. Overall A++ Best regards, Neil.

my second stay at Ty Cynon and I will definitely be back again as it is very comfortable and the area is a great base for cycling.

Would possibly like more tv channels to be available such as Netflix maybe?

Lovely cottage, such a quaint back garden, loved sitting there with a glas of wine.

The walk into town was amazing. Come out of cottage and turn right and you will find a little path with amazing views. Great base to explore North Wales.

Absolutely fantastic stay at Ty Cynon, we booked for 7 days, arrived to an extremely clean cottage, everything was as expected, even a welcome pack of milk, coffee, biscuits and even a bottle of wine.

We would highly recommend staying here if looking to visit the area, this was our second stay at the property and I'm sure it will not be our last.

A well-equipped cottage.

Really comfortable bed. The location of the property was excellent for all our days out over North Wales. Information about the cottage came via email and was comprehensive. However, it would have been helpful if there were more detailed instructions/information about recycling as all parts of the country are not the same. Also, personally for us, some wood burner instructions.

We had a great stay at your cottage!

Wonderful location and everything we needed was there. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Very comfy place to stay.

Neighbourhood is just an amazing, this house is located in cul de sac road. House is very nice - large kitchen, warm living room with fireplace and big bedrooms. Landlady was very helpful on the phone. In area is a lot of place to visit, we were in Zip world and some walks around. 100% recommended.

Absolutely amazing, great location, beautiful property, spotlessly clean on arrival and a comprehensive welcome pack included.

Will definitely be booking again in the future.

Everything was wonderful.

The Cottage, its beautiful elevated position, the Waterfall, starry nights and the serenity. I have no negative comments whatsoever...just simply idyllic.

We had a lovely time at Ty Cynon, the views are stunning across the valley, the beds were extremely comfortable.

It is in an excellent location for travelling to the coast,with very scenic routes.We loved having a fire every night.we visited Portmerion and can recommend the Grapes Hotel for a meal on the way home,very tasty homecooked food. The kitchen is very well equipped we really appreciated having the freezer. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely place.

Safe car parking. Would definitely go back, just a shame no restaurants open within walking distance, but no fault of the accommodation. Highly satisfied.

Ty Cynon is in a beautiful location in Blaenau overlooking the town and the mountains.

It’s incredibly peaceful and quiet, whilst still being within walking distance of the shop and a few cafes. The area is great for walking and lots of activities to do. The cottage itself was perfect. We stayed for 6 nights and were really comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, there is freeview, WiFi and a DVD player for entertainment in the evenings. Really comfy beds and sofas. Everything was lovely and clean. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Very nice well decorated cottage and i felt welcome.

The access is difficult for larger vehicles such as my Nissan Pathfinder and similar 4x4's or vans.

Best holiday we have had in North Wales.

Could of had a better stay... Loved every bit of it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday & our stay at Ty Cynon.

The cottage is situated some half hour drive to some lovely beaches, hills & mountains & Zip World where we all had fantastic fun. The weather could have been better but then there's always an element of luck in choosing the right week/s. No matter we had a fabulous holiday & it was certainly one that we'll always remember!

We had an amazing stay at Ty Cynon cottage.

The setting was beautiful with views down the valley from both bedrooms. The cottage itself retains all the character of a building of that age while being furnished and appointed perfectly for a stay. The location gives you easy access to the many attractions of North Wales. We are certainly planning another visit!

So easy to book.

Cottage was exactly as described.

Lovely characterful cottage and an ideal location to explore a scenic and interesting part of the country.

Will definitely return.

A really lovely cosy cottage.

It was so peaceful up in the hillside and there were amazing views from the windows. We were really lucky with the weather so we were out for lots of family walks and bike rides. It took a while for the cottage to warm up as there hadn't been anyone staying for a few days. Once we worked out how to get the fire going it was lovely and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped and it was full of everything we needed. It was also really nice not to have to take towels with us. A really great holiday.

The cottage was in lovely condition and location which exceeded our expectations
