Tyddyn Reviews

Mandie

The house, location, and everything was fantastic and beautiful. We had a wonderful relaxing time. House fully stocked with all equipment we needed not food obviously Couple of very minor maintenance issues, which did not affect our enjoyment at all. Will definitely return, and would highly recommend.

Stuart

Great homely home, loads of space and very private. Welcome gifts much appreciated thanks and very well equipped home. Secure garden for the dogs was great, comms with the owner was great and the views...wow. We had an amazing time, helped by a week of winter sunshine but such a cosy base it wouldn't have mattered if we had been rained in. Great location too, so close to a main road although doesn't feel like it for access to beaches, sights and adventures. Will definately be coming back.

Stephen

Tyddyn was every think needed in accomodation. My dog thought the enclosed garden was great. The owner's were very friendly and came round with in minutes with a spare bulb to replace light not working at the top of stairs. Thanks Mr&Mrs Evans . I will be back.

This was our 4th stay at Tyddyn and have booked again for next year. It is a well appointed cottage with a large enclosed garden. Has everything you need which makes it a home from home. Railway station within walking distance as is the beach.

We have just spent a very happy week at Tyddyn despite the weather! A securely enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and children. I found some nice short local walks while my friend enjoyed the Panorama Walk. There is a lovely riverside walk from the Ysgethin Inn and the pub's food was excellent.

Lovely cottage, everything you need including a pizza cutter, welcome goodies, ... Lovely cottage, everything you need including a pizza cutter, welcome goodies, wine, cake, tea, coffee, milk, lovely views and lots of wildlife and walks, sofas and beds very comfortable, will definitely book again

Caroline

Beautiful house, beautiful garden and beautiful view. Once of the best holiday properties we have ever stayed in. Immaculately clean and extremely well furnished with absolutely everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. Thank you to the owners for the unexpected gift of of wine, bara brith and other items. We highly recommend you visit Tyddyn and would not hesitate to visit again ourselves.

Lovely cottage clean and well equipped kitchen, beds were comfortable and despite the terrible weather we had we enjoyed our stay, friendly owner and the bara brith was excellent. My wife nicked the wine so cannot comment, I would recommend this cottage with its great views, thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Elizabeth

Tyddyn is a beautiful, detatched cottage with all the comforts of home. The garden is enclosed with plenty of space for our 4 legged friend to run around and set in wonderful countryside. We visited many beautiful beaches, towns and villages and also a drive around Anglesey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything the property had to offer. Appliances all very easy to use, beds very comfortable and a great shower. Thank you for letting us stay at your property.

We had a really lovely stay at Tyddyn. A family of 5 adults, a toddler, baby and 2 dogs the property fitted the bill completely, as advertised, including the enclosed garden around the whole property. It was very well equipped, everything I went to use, it had. It is ideally located, just a short drive to several nearby sandy beaches and townsplaces to visit. We would certainly return in the future when our grandsons are a little older.

Jonathan and Clare

A very well appointed and very clean cottage with great sea and mountain views. Hope to be back next year.

This was a perfect house in ideal location. We felt at home and the owner was lovely. It was everything we could have asked for and we had the best holiday ever. Have been coming to the area for over 50 years and will definitely return to this house next year if possible. Nothing compared to this in our experience. The dogs loved it too as they had freedom of a safe garden. Could not recommend it more. Perfect! Tina Carroll

Great week at Tyddyn. Beautiful, well equipped house with incredible views. So much to do just a short drive away. First time staying here but hopefully will not be the last!

Lovely cottage everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Beautiful gardens for dogs with amazing views. The wine and cake was a lovely thought.

The house was clean , well equipped, had a welcome package which was thoughtful ,had no complaints about it

Samantha

Theres no fault at all that i could pick, its our favourite place ever. Any issues should you have any whilst staying and the owners are lovely and more than happy to help. Thankyou for so many great stays Ann & Family we cannot wait to book again.

Graham

WiFi actually had an internet connection unlike other properties we have tried in the past. Had everything we needed, even a proper sized toaster. 5 min walk to local shop. 10mins walk to local train station. Scenic train journeys up and down coast. Nice local beach. Enough lanes and footpaths for some cycling and walking. We enjoyed our stay.

This was a lovely holiday cottage so well equipped. The kitchen, especially, was a joy. The welcome cake and wine were very welcome! A minor quibble was the lack of a mirror in the small, but perfectly formed en suite. The houses location was perfect for exploring the area and the neighbouring sheep and cattle were very friendly!

We love coming here and have always been very happy with our stays. It is the perfect house in the perfect location. We like it so much that we have already booked again for next year!

On our arrival we found a cake, milk and butter a very nice welcome touch ! We, two adults and two dogs, had a great holiday.

Stephen

Beautifully property in a picturesque location, all the comforts of home, would highly recommend

Debbie

Absolutely beautiful property & beaches are amazing. Spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen & great outdoor space, very secure garden even for my little escape artist terrier. Just one thing, the listing could do with stating 'No dogs upstairs'. Apart from that very small thing 'Tyddyn' is an amazing holiday let, thank you.

A great property very clean and well equipped. Lovely peaceful location. Had a great stay here and would definitely recommend to others.

Very nice spacious property in very good location. Really enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay at this property during our holiday in Wales. It's clean and private. It's also good for big family with dogs because the property has got a gate. It's close to beaches and about 30 minutes drive to SNOWDONIA, if you love to walk. This property is also close to shops, pubs and restaurants. You will enjoy your stay at this property. I recommend this property for those who want a private space during their holiday. Just take note, to call the owner for the postcode to find the property.

We enjoyed our stay in Tyddyn, its lovely house with beautiful views. we appreciated the welcome pack of milk, wine and fruitcake. The garden was perfect, and it was lovely to see the cows and sheep in the fields around the garden. The beds were so comfortable, the house was missing a few personal touches, it could have done with a mat by the back door, specially as we had such wet weather while away and the dogs coming in and out can make the floor quite wet and slippery. There was no airer if you didn't want to use the dryer, and it was wet and cold outside, no hair dryer, the bath towels were quite small. Would highly recommend.

Joanne

We always used to stay when my daughter was as little , cottage is just as fab as it was then. Perfect location , great cottage and now and en suite

Lovely well maintained cottage. Cant think of anything to improve it.!!

Richard

A beautiful property with amazing views and such a lovely setting. Beds were so comfy and issues we had were delt with immediately. Only negative is the bath, it's great for kids and if you are short but being 5ft8 it was very short and shallow for me . Other than that the house is amazing. We had a bottle of red wine and a very tasty fruit cake as a welcome gift, which was a really nice touch. We were are party of 2 adults, 4 boys aged between 7 17 years and 2 dogs and the house had plenty of room for us all. Would definitely come back again in the future.

Ophelia

We had a lovely week in Tyddyn. The listing I think mentions that there are farm animals in the adjacent field which meant we had to keep our bigger dog out of the garden as he could easily have jumped the wall. So a great enclosed garden for smaller dogs but not for any dogs interested in bunnies or sheep. The cottage is comfy and well fitted out I loved the great power shower and comfy mattress and the peace and quiet and the wonderful view. Good apples too on the trees. And a lovely welcome cake and bottle of wine was great after our trek from London.

Lovely cottage in a superb location. Everything there you could possibly need. Beds extremely comfortable , and views amazing. As we arrived early, the owner allowed us to park at the cottage whilst we went off exploring, before the cottage was ready, this was much appreciated

Lovely cottage. Totally enclosed garden for the dog. Everything there that you need. Will be returning.

Carolyn

Beautiful property and very comfortable. Nice enclosed gardens with cows and sheep roaming in the fields to the side. Bedrooms very comfortable with lovely views of the sea in the near distance. The only issue we had was finding the place initially, as it is not labelled at the driveway entrance, so it took us a couple of attempts to find it. But we had a very enjoyable holiday and would go back again.

We had a great time at the cottage . Everything was as described and lovely and peaceful. There was no catalogue of dos and donts so we spent the week entirely at ease . Lovely area and beautiful walks and the dogs both loved it too . Only thing I would suggest would be blackout blinds in the bedrooms as its light very early in the summer and the sun shone through very bright at 5am. Great cottage and location . 5 stars !!!

Robert

A lovely cottage with beautiful views of the setting sun and the sanddunes of Dyffryn Beach. Easy walking to the beach, shops and the Dyffryn Estate pub, longer walk to the ysgethin Inn which is a nice dog friendly pub. Ann the owner was very friendly and helpful and we soon be back again.

Nicola

Fantastic holiday house exceptionally clean , really well equipt with amazing views. Thank you very much we would highly recommend this property
