Ty Mawr Porthmadog

The farmhouse is located in the most spectacular location overlooking the mountains and the sea.

Dining out in the evenings as the sun sets was a real pleasure. Two things stood out. The home was beautifully appointed with everything you need. The big impression was the thought that had gone into the look and feel of the place. From the furnishings to the art on the walls. It’s an absolute delight. We will return.

Beautiful house and beautiful location.

Had everything we needed and more. Really comfortable beds was a huge winner! Would definitely come back and stay again, it’s a perfect location for exploring the local area and into Snowdonia. Only a short drive into Porthmadog or the beach, but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. So peaceful. Our children loved watching the farm next door and seeing the sheep being herded or grazing in the field next to the house. Hope to come back and stay again as we have more mountains to hike and it was like home from home.

Ty Mawr is the most wonderful, peaceful stone cottage.

It is surrounded by farmland and hills, but is also within easy reach of beaches, railways and the Snowdonia national park.

The cottage had been beautifully renovated with lots of nice little touches.

It was very comfortable and relaxing. The pictures did not do it justice.

This property is stunning, the owners have done a remarkable job on the building.

The mixture of old and new inside is very hard to do, but they've got it spot on. The view's from the upstairs are brilliant, sea on one side and mountains on the other. Everything you need is in the house, couldn't think of anything that was missing.

Fourth return!

Special place

Ty Mawr is one of the best places we have stayed in.

It has character, is well equipped and furnished and it has been sympathetically renovated. we appreciated the little touches (flowers, milk, lights left on for us on arrival, an initial supply of logs and the well equipped kitchen cupboards with dishwasher tablets, soap etc). We also liked the remote location but really not so far from Porthmadoc & Criccieth.

Lovely house and location in easy reach of shops and beach.

Fabulous property (our 3rd visit!

) Comfortable, cosy, beautiful house with loads of character. Well positioned with lots of wonderful places to visit near by.

The accommodation is excellent; tastefully finished and great facilities & space for a large family.

.... probably the best family accommodation we've ever stayed in - and fabulous views and location - Thank you

A very special place for me and my husband

Ty Mawr completely exceeded our expectations.

The accommodation was spacious, very clean and so very tranquil. The location is perfect for accessing everything there is to do in the area, whilst being far enough off the road and down a track to feel really peaceful. Three family generations (4 adults, 2 kids) were very happy here for a week, with only sheep for neighbours. You can even see the sea from upstairs bedroom windows. A small issue with a leak in the bathroom was dealt with quickly and helpfully. Favourite days out included Borth-y-Gest beach, Bodnant Gardens and It's A Small World (miniature railway and slot cars in Blennau Festiniog). We are regulars to the Llyn Peninsula and this is the nicest place we've stayed - would definitely come back!

Wonderfully quiet and peaceful holiday in a beautiful cottage.

The cottage is very well-equipped with everything you need and very comfortable. There is a lovely garden to enjoy the views of the surrounding hills and the antics of the sheep. In easy reach of lots of places - we just loved it and would love to go back and spend more time there.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location, very quiet and relaxing yet still so close to everything.

Comfortable, very clean and well equipped. Would definitely return, enjoyed our week.

Ty Mawr was a beautiful cottage, very well presented with everything you might need.

Loved all the artwork,etc around the house. Lovely to have only the sheep for neighbours and the views were fantastic!!! Very handy for visits to Porthmadog and the Ffeistiniog Railway, also Criccieth and bit longer trip to Anglesey...Plas Newyd National Trust well worth visiting Perfect holiday!!

A lovely property in a beautiful setting with country views; it feels very remote, but is only about a mile from the main road between Porthmadog and Criccieth.

The cottage has been sympathetically restored, is beautifully furnished, warm and cosy (the owners have a generous approach to heating) and provides a very comfortable holiday home for up to six people. We really enjoyed our week at Ty Mawr, and would happily return. A couple of messages to the Housekeeper received a swift response and we were grateful for his help.

Delightful cottage with stunning views.

Very well equipped and extremely comfortable

Everything was perfect!

Unusually for north Wales, the entire week was fine and dry and wet spent a lot of time in the garden surrounded by superb scenery. Could have done with a large parasol. We had hoped to use the rights of way shown on the map to walk to the pub on the coast, but unfortunately they were completely blocked at Tyddyn Adi. We did encounter some very confused walkers! But as far as the property is concerned, no complaints, and we would be glad to visit again.

We had a great week again.

The cottage is amazing everything and more you could possibly need. Lovely and quiet with fantastic views.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful, peaceful location.

The cottage is lovely and so comfortable it doesn't really matter what the weather does, it's just nice to relax by the fire.

Excellent property.

We had a great stay and would hope to return

This was a fantastic property.

It was very clean, very comfortable and has excellent facilities. The property for four adults two children and a dog was perfect for us. The layout was spacious but still had a cosey cottage feel. Walking distance to the beach and good facilities nearby.

Absolutely stunning!

The photos don't do the house justice - it's even more beautiful in reality! So warm and cosy! Extra thanks to Shannon for the perfect cleanliness everywhere and the beautiful flowers. Many thanks and kind regards from Germany

Absolutely wonderful property, we've already booked to return next year.

Probably the best property we've ever stayed in.

Another fabulous week , as always the property was immaculately presented with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing holiday .

Ideal if you are looking for peace and quiet and only a mile from the beach and a short drive to Porthmadog or Criccieth , perfect for us and our dogs, looking forward to our next stay .

This is a beautifully appointed cottage with every possible item for comfort and cooking in a soul stirring setting.

A real hidden gem in a gorgeous setting. Would return in a two shakes of a

Certainly one of the most comfortable character cottages we have stayed in.

A lovely layout in a peaceful and private location. Well equipped and beautifully clean. We felt at home immediately. We enjoyed seeing the farmer come and go having sheep and cattle next door though we were never disturbed by any noise. Conveniently near Blackrock Sands with its super fine sand and shallow shelving beach. Highly recommend a meal at the Caerwylan Hotel restaurant in Criccieth. Owner note - a cloth/sponge in each bathroom to wipe down water after showering would good, especially since water gets on the window sills. My son commented that his bed was uncomfortable in the twin room, door side. Many thanks for being so kind about our mistake with the departure date!

The cottage is wonderful,

Excellent property.

Far bigger and better than the photos on the website. Beautiful setting, wonderful views and all mod cons. The heating and lamps had been put on when we arrived so along with the fresh flowers we felt warmly greeted. Just a note but the garden is not enclosed for sprightly dogs that can jump low walls. We kept our dog on a lead as there were sheep loose in the garden area every day along with a peacock! This wasn’t a problem and enclosed fencing to the garden would certainly spoil the views and the ambience of the property. We did purchase a baking tray as none in the cottage but otherwise the kitchen was really well equipped . We had a lovely holiday, so peaceful and quiet and would highly recommend. We didn’t want to come home!

Beautifully and tastefully furnished with personal touches.

Grateful for fresh milk in fridge on arrival, did perhaps expect a small welcome pack.

Beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable and thoughtfully restored.

Beds very comfortable. So tranquil. Nothing but the sound of lambs and birds and stunning sunsets every night. We would certainly return.

We had a wonderful stay in an idyllic spot.

The cottage was lovely and we will return! The rain didn’t even put us off and Sunday was a perfect day. Our only slight negative was there were a few ruts in the long driveway which meant the cars grounded a few times. It was difficult to manoeuvre around them as it is a narrow drive. Thank you for a beautiful break with the family.

A lovely cosy, warm and welcoming cottage.

It was very comfortable and the views were amazing and in a very quiet and tranquil setting. Also well equipped for our needs.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing setting, unfortunately we all found the beds really uncomfortable.

Thank you for enabling us to have a lovely stay in your cottage.

There was everything and more needed for our stay. From the fabulous views to the warmth of the cottage.

Third stay at Ty Mawr Farm.

As comfortable as ever and hope to return next year.

Brilliant.

Perfect stay, superb house and location. As already said the only feedback would be the early check out time.

We loved our stay at Ty Mawr.

This is a very spacious cottage with lovely furnishings. The kitchen is well equipped too which can't be said for many of the places we've stayed. It's in a very secluded location but is only a short drive from Porthmadog and there is access to Black Rock Sands. This is definitely somewhere we'd stay again!

A lovely cottage with every comfort and amenity.

Feels like home as soon as you walk in and the layout and decor is really well considered. Great art on the walls as well, which is refreshing to see. The only thing we thought was a little stressful after such a chilled stay was the 9.30 am deadline to leave the cottage - I would question that one needs 7 hours to clean and prep for the next guests when arrival time is 4.30pm. Apart from that we would recommend this to anyone as a great holiday cottage.

A very comfortable, well cared for and spacious old Farmhouse that has been tastefully modernised whilst retaining its intrinsic character.

A stunning setting with views to the sea and mountains all in one vista!. Peaceful and detached but close to Porthmadog for one's essentials and within easy reach of many places of interest in North Wales. A perfect place to stay in this part of a beautiful country.

Beautiful property.

It was lovely to arrive to find lights on, house warm, a welcoming note and tray ready with tea and coffee. Really was a fabulous place to stay. We loved it!

Ty Mawr is outstanding , we have just spent another week in this wonderful property, always immaculately clean, warm and welcoming on arrival , for us it is perfect , couldn't be more comfortable , lots of space , everything you need in the kitchen and very comfortable beds , never want to leave so have to book again for next year

This was without doubt one of the nicest places we have stayed in.

We loved the cottage and setting and felt very comfortable.

We would love to return sometime in the future. We loved the separate boot room to ensure shoes and dog were able to be dealt with before entering the main house. We would normally find local leaflets to be in the house so perhaps this might be a consideration for the future along with local walks from the house.

A wonderfully calm and spacious house - really peaceful & relaxing, in a glorious situation.

The views from every side were magnificent, especially Moel y Gest, which just had to be climbed. We found the beach at Criccieth much better than Black Rock sands where there were lots of jellyfish & nasty brown scum, so went there for our beach days. There were loads of blackberries & sloes to collect in the hedgerows - this year's sloe gin vintage will be a good one. All in all we had a great holiday & didn't want to leave Ty Mawr at the end of the week.

A beautiful location.

Cottage was nicely furnished throughout with a lovely kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area. The peaceful surroundings were idyllic. Will definitely be back.

This property is first class we absolutely loved it.

. Spotless clean and you are going from home to home.. Its really beautiful and we will definitely return

Absolutely LOVED our stay here, so much so we were straight on rightmove looking to move to the area

Fantastic will revisit

A wonderful stay in a fabulous cottage in a fabulous location.

Every aspect close to perfect including arrangements, instructions and property condition. Would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Enjoyed our stay in this beautiful peaceful Cottage.

Very welcoming on arrival. A good place to get away from it all. Unfortunately the shower in the bathroom didn't work so we had to share the en suite shower. This is to be attended to very soon according to the housekeeper.

The pictures do not do the property justice, cottage spectacular and views amazing

Loved it!

Beautiful!

We always look forward to our stay at Ty Mawr, a stunning house in a beautiful situation and we are never disappointed, immaculate on arrival and with everything you might need for a very comfortable holiday.

We have had many happy holidays in this beautiful part of Wales and look forward to returning next year .

This was our second visit to Ty Mawr and I think that the fact that we have returned speaks volumes; in my opinion, you certainly don't revisit somewhere if you don't like it!

We absolutely love Ty Mawr. It's a real home from home. It's comfortable, warm and well equipped. It's "off the beaten track" but doesn't feel remote or isolated. A perfect base from which to discover North Wales, Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula and all that they have to offer. We will be returning.

We loved Ty Mawr - a perfect holiday destination.

We were delighted by our stay in this lovely house in a beautiful location.

This was our 2nd visit and was just as enjoyable as our 1st.

The only negative we found was the cleaner provided was very full and clogged up as it was last time we visited. Not very pleasant to have to empty and clean out before we could use it. Having said that everything else was just perfect and we would highly recommend this property to anyone. Everything you need, comfortable, and a perfect location. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The house and location were absolutely stunning.

I’ve never felt more connected to a location in my life. We would love to live there if we could. The photos didn’t do the property justice. A big thank you to the owners for being so welcoming, and letting us share their special part of Wales.

Our second stay at this lovely property.

Very comfortable and enjoyable.

Ty Mawr was even better than pictures.

We really enjoyed our stay and the location. We.Will definitely return

Our second visit and we will be returning.

I should think that is enough recommendation in itself.

The photo's of Ty Mawr cottage really don't do it justice.

The place is beautiful and in a very secluded location, so it's really peaceful. Probably the nicest cottage we've ever stayed in on our travels around the country.

We booked a return visit to Ty Mawr within 24 hours of arriving.

The property is an absolute treasure, a real beauty and so, so comfortable. It's perfectly situated amongst peaceful farmland with views to the mountains and the sea and yet amenities can be found just a few minutes away by car. The nearby beaches at Black Rock Sands, Criccieth and Harlech are all stunning. We cannot wait to return next year.

The farmhouse is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean and welcoming , in a peaceful location , so cosy with perfectly dry logs for a cosy fire on a chilly evening , a walk through the fields (takes a bit of finding to start with !

) to the wonderful beach. Our second visit and hopefully we will be back again ! Helen and Geoff

Great location, house really good and well equipped.

So peaceful and great to switch off but close to all amenities and places to visit. Constructive criticism would be showers weren’t up to standard of rest of the house but not a deal breaker and both families would certainly consider returning at a later date.

We've jusreturned from a fabulous stay at Ty Mawr.

The cottage was absolutely lovely. It was very well equipped and really clean. We couldn't have asked for a better base to explore the beautiful Snowdonia countryside. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful historic farmhouse in a peaceful location, lovely views and easy access to Criccieth and Porthmadog.

Perfect position to explore the lakes and mountains of Snowdonia and the beautiful beaches along the Llyn peninsula.

This is a beautiful cottage.

Totally in the middle of nowhere, it was a joy to relax in the silence of the countryside.

Peaceful, beautiful surroundings with stunning mountain and sea views, yet close to Porthmadog so easy to get what you need.

Black Rock Sands is very close, the beach here is lovely. The best cottage we have stayed in. Even the internet was good. Difficult to find any faults at all. Would definitely rebook

The accommodation: it was absolutely first class.

We would have immediately rebooked for 2 weeks next year, but the price hike from last year's fees makes it unlikely that we will. We really cannot justify spending the increased price; which roughly works out to be roughly £300 per week more. Such a shame as we have been to this particular owners' properties on two previous occasions and would very much like to return.

A delightful cottage in the perfect location.

Even a garage to keep the car out of the rain! Remote from the road and surrounded by farmland with escaped sheep, lambs and cattle adding to the excitement.

Beautiful cottage in wonderful surroundings.

House was very clean and we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Will definitely return!

When we arived at the cotage we were STUNED !

!! The cotage inside was LUXURY, outside in the garden was AMAZINGLY tidy and clean. My puppy ran like i never seen him running of joy and happiness. THE ENTIRE short holiday was FANTASTIC!!! WELL DONE GUYS !!!

We had a wonderful stay enjoyed the peaceful setting.

One very small thing that would have been great would have had table place mats available. I love eating off hot plates and didn’t want to damage the dining table ......... I know this is a very small request and for most people it wouldn’t have mattered. I would definitely return a very special place to recharge our batteries.

This was our third visit to Ty Mawr and thoroughly enjoyed our stay , we look forward to booking again next year .

Everything was perfect.

Surrounding area v quiet but just a shirt drive into town . Beautifully appointed house. No problems whatsoever. The house is even more gorgeous than the pictures. We will book again.

Ty Mawr is a beautiful house with views from every window.

The pictures on the website don’t do it justice. From booking the holiday to the clear instructions on finding the cottage the process could not have been easier. And when you arrive the cottage has everything. We enjoyed a wonderful week in this cottage where all you can hear is the birds and sheep. Very peaceful

We had expected towels, tea towels and some toilet rolls at property, but there were none.

Some cushions for sofas would have been good too, but washing covers each week could be too much. However, it should be possible to wash towels for new guests each week and we had only been told to bring those needed for beach. We had arranged with you to bring our own pillows and did so, but these were at the property, so communication broke down somewhere along the line. At property, recycling guidance was years out of date and more materials are taken than listed in welcome guide. Council website has a simle guide at https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Residents/Bins-and-recycling/What-goes-into-the-bin/What-goes-into-the-bin.aspx - also a one-page PDF guide that can be downloaded and printed. It would be good if a food bin was provided, as collected by the council. Overall, property and holiday was very good.

Ty Mawr is a lovely property in a truly peaceful setting.

The house is finished to a high standard and is comfortable and stylish inside. The beds are comfortable. We were lucky enough to have sunny days and spent long evenings in the garden with just the sheep in the field next door for company. There are lots of walks and Blackrock Sands beach is just down the road. We think this wonderful beach is spoilt by people being allowed to their drive cars onto the beach, so we walked an extra 15 minutes over the hill to Criccieth where the beach is quiet and can be enjoyed in its natural setting.

The cottage was so beautiful in its interior and is set in stunning surroundings as well.

Quiet and yet very near the town of Porthmadog. The beaches are near as are the mountains. One of the prettiest cottages I ever rented❣️

iIt was such a beautiful cottage set in beautiful surroundings even storm Dennis didn’t spoil our holiday, it just added to the excitement.

Stunning sea views one side and breathtaking mountain views the other. The cottage was so warm and comfortable exceptionally clean and well cared for. Some beautiful walks with our dogs will definitely be coming back.

Lovely peaceful location in a superbly converted old Welsh farmhouse.

Great farmhouse in excellent location literally 5mins from the beach.

Beautiful setting and couldn’t fault the house at all. In true old farmhouse style the floors upstairs are uneven in places but the house has been fitted out well. Only downside was there was no parasol for the table and chairs outside which meant limited use of the table during the hottest days of the year so far. Overall fantastic secluded location, amazing views and a great family holiday.

We already had high hopes for this property from both the description and the photos, but the reality far exceeded our expectations.

Set in a secluded spot in stunning countryside, everything from Ty Mawr's location to the sympathetic way the property has been renovated, made this the perfect holiday destination. The understated decor, attention to detail and facilities are first rate. From the moment you turn into the driveway and see this sturdy house nestled on the flanks of picturesque Moel y Guest, you feel at home. With nothing but the sound of swallows, bees, grasshoppers, and the occasional bleating and mooing from the sheep and cows on the neighbouring farm to break the silence, this is the perfect 'get away from it all' spot. We revelled in watching the swallows swoop and dive as we ate outside in the evening sunshine, felt pampered in the morning as our feet were warmed by the underfloor heating, and slept better than we have done in years. Surrounded by great walking country - we strolled over to Criccieth one night and along Black Rock Sands to Porthmadog on another- Ty Mawr is ideally located for days out in Snowdonia. Portmeirion is just a short drive away, and we went on both the Welsh Highland Railway to Caernarfon and the Ffestiniog Railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog from Porthmadog. We had intended to spend a day in Anglesey, but with so much to see and do on our doorstep, we sadly never made it. A week wasn't enough to explore a part of the UK we had never ventured into, or to enjoy staying in such an historic and luxurious holiday property. A good excuse to come back next year!

The holiday exceeded our expectations in many ways in terms of location, size of property, warmth (underfloor heating) and comfort (especially beds).

Directions to property were ok although could be improved as challenging to find (in particular at night-time) on initial arrival plus showers in both bathrooms struggled with poor water pressure although still warm and usable. We would all return to the same property and location again. Thank you.

Good response from caretaker Jon, when I needed some help (with a flat tyre & an item left at the cottage)

A lovely old farmhouse that has been beautifully restored and renovated.

A peaceful setting and great that they accept dogs.

The best holiday property we have stayed in to date, extremely well appointed , very spacious and comfortable , the owners have done a fabulous job !

We have fallen in love with this house and looking forward to our next visit already booked.

lovely house set in a beautiful place with great views and stunning night skies.

Evenings spent by a roaring log fire with great underfloor heating giving toasty toes throughout our stay. A view of Black Rock sands which must be one of the best beaches in the country.

Fantastic cottage one mile from the beach

Amazing cottage in a lovely location between mountains and sea.

Fantastic location and very high standard of accomodation

Comfortable, well equipped cottage in a good location with great views.

The cottage was in a lovely peaceful location and had been very tastefully refurbished.

Everything we needed was provided. Our only comment would be that we would have far preferred the garden furniture to be in the garden.

lovely cottage inside well designed spacious and comfortable thanks

Ty Mawr was great lots of spacious rooms, the children played hide & seek.

The cottage had everything we needed, was nice & cosy .it was great being so near black rock beach we all loved it there. It is not far from the town. The farm was nice for the children as there was lots of new born lambs & alpacas to watch.

The photos don’t do justice to this beautiful tastefully decorated cottage that has been sympathetically been restored with love, care and attention to detail, design and the cottage’s most interesting history.

As for the location - You won’t be disappointed.

Good service.

.......for a comfortable weeks holiday The accomodation was excellent
