We loved staying here, so peaceful we were able to completely relax and unwind. The cottage is very cosy and homely, with everything we needed, and the location is stunning. The rocky tumbling stream running through the garden was the highlight for us- we ate breakfast by it every day. The area is full of wildlife and plenty of footpaths to exploreRead more. It's also in a good position, not far from Dolgellau and Barmouth. We will definitely be coming back! Hide

We had a lovely 3-night stay at this cottage over New Year. The location is ideal for exploring Dolgellau, Barmouth and surrounding areas of Snowdonia. It is in a delightful, secluded setting on the hillside with beautiful views and a stream running past. We had snow during our stay so particularly appreciated the log burner and the well-organised,Read more generous supply of logs. Evenings were cosy and atmospheric by the fireside. The cottage is well-equipped generally and instructions are clear and comprehensive. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a stay at any time of the year and hope to be back ourselves. Hide

From the moment we arrived to opening and going inside the property. WOW!! We felt as if we had stepped back in time, The cottage was inviting, warm and cosy. There was a very good vibe. We came with our two young children and they loved it, The only issue we came across was the steep staircase not being child friendly. However we over came it byRead more blocking them off with an armchair. It didn't make our stay a real problem we absolutely loved the cottage and its quirks. The other highlight is the location, to the rear of the property is a beautiful stream it was such a little gem. We only stayed for a couple of nights but highly recommend Barmouth beach. The kids really enjoyed it. There are plenty of walks nearby too. We hope to stay here again and are already planning to come back next year! Thank you for such an amazing stay. Hide

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming little stone cottage in Wales, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Nestled by a gentle, flowing river, the property exudes peace and tranquillity. The sound of the water combined with the idyllic countryside setting makes this cottage a true haven for anyone seeking to unwind and reconnectRead more with nature. Inside, the cosy fireplace was a highlightperfect for curling up with a book or a glass of wine after a day of exploring. The rustic charm of the cottage is complemented by all the modern amenities you could need, ensuring a comfortable and seamless stay. Its location is ideal: close enough to a delightful small town for convenience, yet far enough to feel secluded and private. Barmouth, just a short drive away, was a fantastic spot for a day out. With its sandy beaches and quaint shops, it added a lovely dimension to our getaway. Finally, the host deserves special mention. Incredibly friendly and responsive, they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. From detailed local recommendations to prompt replies to our questions, they made the stay even more memorable. If you're looking for a serene retreat in Wales with plenty of character and charm, this stone cottage is the perfect choice. Can't wait to return! Hide

If you want peace and tranquility, unspoiled rural surroundings (with a stream running through the garden) and a much-loved home with real character, not a bland, IKEA-equipped holiday house, Ty'n Lon Isaf is for you. Over 400 years old, it is undeniably quirky, with low beams (mind your head!), uneven floorboards and antique furniture. But it isRead more warm, comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean.
