  • "I was needing a retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of life and Gwern Tyno was the ideal place."

    It is in such a beautiful location, so much so that I ended up taking almost 300 photos. Considering how close it is to the town and seaside, if you did want to venture out, the cottage has everything you need to just stay put and enjoy being surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Janet was close enough if needed, but not intrusive. I felt I arrived as a stranger and left as a friend. I would certainly recommend and consider a future stay at this lovely cottage.

    Thankyou Linda for your comments. I am so pleased that Gwern Tyno proved to be the tonic you needed x Property Owner

    The cottage is nice and confortable. The children enjoyed playing in the garden. The views from the cottage are so beautiful, you could stay in the living room drinking tea and watching the mountains!! Janet is very nice and thoughtful. There is many things to do around: The nice Promenade of Colwyn Bay, the nice town of Llandudno, we enjoyed walking to the Aber falls, visited many National Trust properties and we even went to Portmeirion wich was about an hour from the cottage.

    Thankyou for your positive feedback. I am very pleased to have met you all. I hope the rest of your holiday goes well and that you travel safe - bon voyage Property Owner

    The sky at night was stunning and the moon was spectacular.We saw birds of prey, bats, owls and not forgetting the sheep opposite. The cottage was spotless, 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. Excellent supply of essentials needed for your stay including tin foil, washing up liquid , bin bags and even hot water bottles for those chilly nights when your star gazing Even though the cottage is accessed via a single track road we didnt encounter any problems as we took the road slow and carefully As we dont have a bath, the bath in the cottage proved to be a welcome addition especially after a day of walking and pushing a wheelchair. Our son.was particularly taken with the cat and spent his evenings stroking and playing with her. This cottage was what was needed after a tough few years and provided us with the peace and relaxation that we have been missing.We will be back

    I am so pleased that we seem to have got it right. Thankyou for your very positive comments. Very glad that your stay was so beneficial and would be very happy to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

There are all the amenities you need for a week away, and the washing machine, airer and rotary line are very handy.

  • "Just returned from a lovely week long stay in this lovely cottage."

    Everything we needed available, couldn’t have asked for anything more. Facilities great. Janet was very welcoming and available if needed, even providing places to eat with addresses and postcodes of venues. Tried all except one and we were not disappointed. Would recommend The Toad locally, food and service excellent (ring to book as website always said no tables so we rang and no problem booking a table). Cottage is located for access to local towns and is a great place to be based for trips out and even to go walking. We took our 3 year old granddaughter and she loved watching the sheep in a morning and the birds around the cottage. Even went for a walk up the lane which she enjoyed as there were sheep and horses to see. Don’t be put off by the fact you have to drive up a narrow lane, there are places to pass and we did not encounter any problems at all. It is quite well lit in places, otherwise headlights and careful driving are all that is needed. Would absolutely love to return springtime and will definitely try to. Loved every minute of our stay.

    Close to Llandudno, and with so many other places of interest within an hour's drive. The property included everything we could need, with comfy seating and beds, aswell as all the bits you might forget, such as cling film, kitchen roll etc. On an evening, we only heard the odd hoot of an owl, and it was total dark skies. It is a single track road to get to the property, but there were enough passing places on the way. It is a compact property, but ideal for a family with young children. The outside space is great for children to run about and see the sheep in the neighbouring field. Janet was incredibly helpful and friendly and a great host, and we will definitely return!

  • "Beautiful cottage in a lovely location overlooking the valley."

    Our children loved seeing the sheep roam around the cottage. Lovely sandy beach 5 minute drive away with good facilities. Janet, the owner, really looked after us during our stay and even lent the children some toys. Plenty of room for a family of four. Just a note, if you have a child who needs a cot, there isn’t much room left to put one so probably best if the children are old enough for beds. We did, however, manage to squeeze our cot in and had a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

    It’s On a farm up a single track road away from any main roads/traffic noise and a 5 minute drive to an expansive sandy beach . It’s easy to get to the Snowdonia National park by car too. We took our bikes and the owner allowed us to store them in one of her barns. The bungalow itself was immaculately clean, with plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Bedding and towels were provided. Cooking facilities were good, with plenty of kitchen equipment. There is a washing machine and washing line in the adjacent garden area which has a garden table for eating outside with views overlooking mountains. The owner lives in the house opposite and is on hand if you have any queries/issues. The shower hose started to leak on Sunday evening and a new complete shower unit was fitted by 10am on Monday morning. I would highly recommend this bungalow for location, facilities and cleanliness.
