Tyddyn Goronwy in Talybont | Must-See North Wales & Snowdonia Hot Tub Cottage

About Tyddyn Goronwy

Tyddyn Goronwy is a magnificent stone-built farmhouse in Talybont, perfectly positioned between Barmouth and Harlech in Wales. This extensively refurbished country home offers stunning sea and mountain views from many of its six spacious bedrooms. It's the ideal base for large families wanting to explore the Welsh coast without compromising on comfort.

The property sits just a 10-minute walk from a gorgeous sandy beach where you can build sandcastles or take bracing walks along the shore. Nearby Snowdonia provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. The train station is just 2 minutes away, making trips to Barmouth super easy (though you'll need to check the schedule as trains don't run frequently). Fancy a pint? The Ysgethin pub is a 10-minute walk away with its picturesque garden by a stream.

Inside, you'll find three floors of luxury. The ground floor features a well-equipped kitchen with Belling range cooker, dining room with wood-burner, spacious sitting room and a games room with pool table. Upstairs houses six bedrooms - including kings, twins and singles - with four bathrooms. The recently added hot tub is the perfect place to soak your muscles after hiking the nearby hills. And yes, that's a proper hot tub, not just me getting excited about the description.

Within driving distance, you'll find Harlech Castle (6 miles, 15 minutes), Portmeirion Italianate Village (25 minutes), Zip World Titan for adrenaline junkies (40 minutes) and Mount Cader Idris for hikers (30 minutes). Between March and November, guests can use the indoor heated swimming pool at the owner's nearby caravan park - perfect for when the Welsh weather does its thing.

Tyddyn Goronwy is honestly fantastic for multi-family holidays. With off-road parking for five vehicles, a large enclosed garden and enough bathrooms to avoid morning queues, it ticks all the boxes for a memorable Welsh getaway.

Tyddyn Goronwy Reviews

Steven

Our family group had an age range of between 2 12 Years and 91 Years, the farmhouse accommodated all 9 of us comfortably. The furnishings and decoration were great and the bathrooms and en suites as good as we've ever experienced, very spacious and with great Baths and showers. The Hot Tub, and close proximity of the Holiday park facilities , swimming Pool, Softplay, amusements etc meant even when weather not at its best there was always things for Kids to do. We all had a great stay and would definitely return.

Stephen

Our group of ten all had a really enjoyable stay. The property was very clean, spacious and fitted out to a very good standard. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus. Very convenient as well as close to the local station. It was also a bonus to have the reception close by as the wonderful staff there were able to sort out a few minor wrinkles without any fuss. Thankyou. Highly recommended.

Nicola

We really enjoyed our stay,bathrooms and bedrooms were great spaces, the hot tub was a great addition, as was the pool table. The kitchen was well equipped although a little on the small side.The location was great,with Barmouth and Snowdonia within easy reach. The WiFi connectivity could have been better, and there were some maintenance issues with both dish washer and tumble dryer. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay, and would go again .A slightly later checkout would be desirable. Many thanks.

Patricia

This accomodation is one of the best we have stayed in. Huge House, very well equiped kitchen. Evenings were spent in the hot tub, playing pool, or playing board games in the kitchen. We had a 5 year old, so the small soft play area in the caravan site opposite was a god send Free of Charge. Also the pool Free to use, in the caravan site could be booked for your family in 1 hour slots. Their was also family entertainment at their other site 10 min walk away. All in all a great time was had by all.

Hayley

Had a fabulous stay in wales. The cottage had everything we needed with loads of space and the recently added pool table and hot tub made it extra special with something to do for everyone. The train station was fab and only 5min walk which took you straight into lovely Barmouth but trains dont run very often so you need to be organised and we never heard the train in the house. Sunnysands which is part the Lyons group campsite where the the swimming pool is and bingo is a 10 min drive but we loved Bingo so worth it. We went to Ysgethin pub which is a 10 min walk and well worth it to have a beer in the picturesque garden by the stream. Overall I would recommend this cottage and everything we did like Snowdon, zip lining, white water rafting, Portmeirion was only an hours drive away. Hopefully well come back to Wales soon!

Tracey

The house was in a perfect location and was well equipped with everything we needed.

For a group of seven it was a lovely large house, though the kitchen size was a bit limiting not much the owners can do about that! One single bedroom was without a wardrobe I think that should be rectified as there was plenty of room for one and it would avoid the person in that room having to use wardrobe space in another room.

Patricia

Geoffrey

Property very nice and quiet. Bedrooms extremely comfortable with lovely bathrooms. Trains were not running during our stay but concerned that it might be noisy had they been.

This is a great holiday home in a good location for easy access to the sandy beach or to drive into Snowdonia . The kitchen is not huge but it is very well equipped with a handy hatch to the dining room. Otherwise the house is spacious and very comfortable with great bathrooms. The garden with its playhouse was perfect for our young grandchildren, if only the weather had allowed us to use the outside dining area. As others have mentioned the WiFi is poor unless you are close to the router. Overall a very good holiday home and we would happily return.

This house was fantastic for our big family holiday birthday celebrations, the bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms were of a very high standard and very comfortable as well as the sitting rooms, the kitchen needs a bit of tlc, some of the door handles were missing off the kitchen doors , the dinning area is lovely but it a squeeze for 10 persons as 4 have to sit on a bench, we did not use the BBQ but it looks a bit tired , we visited the swimming pool at the sister camp site which was fab you book an hour slot, kids liked the soft play, we all loved the amusement arcades, and the long walks across the beach just down the road. Ninteen 57 restaurant was also brilliant they looked after us very well, the happy hour was much appreciated , we all really loved our stay in this beautiful house , and the location is perfect to explore nearby Barmouth and we also had dinner at Norbar restaurants, it's a little more pricey but really lovely food and the views are stunning. Many memories made for my family from 9 to 80 years old

Alison

Property was great, well equipped kitchen, brilliant garden. Use of stair gates and cots was a great bonus. Was a shame there was a small charcoal bbq in the garden when listing photos showed a large gas one and was a struggle to get signal on tv's in the bedrooms. WiFi was rubbish if you were not sat in the room where the router was. Bedrooms were very spacious and loads of bathrooms too. Use of the local swimming pool was a great addition too. Would recommend and stay again.

Debbie

This house has everything you need for a family holiday. Lots of space and places to spend a bit of quiet time if you want. Good location and the beach is a short walk away. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils. Bbq needs an update. It was a bonus having access to a small pool and soft play area on next campsite.

Beautiful property, spacious, light and comfortable, had all we needed, situated near the railway, though you wouldn't know, great access to other areas, such as Harlech, Barmouth. Also had a little welcome pack of food. Enjoyed our stay immensely

Jackie

The house is fabulous! It suited our family party of 10 perfectly. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautifully presented, with quality linen and fittings. The downstairs space is great, with room to spread out, and a utility room for coats shoes and bags. We only cooked brunch but the kitchen had everything needed to cater for 10 people. The children were well provided for, with outdoor space, and games and DVDs for inside entertainment. However, there were a couple of issues... The website advertised WiFi access and use of a swimming pool, and this influenced our choice of property. But there was no information in the house about accessing the WiFi, and I had no joy when I tried to contact the owner. Also, when we took the children to the neighbouring caravan park to swim, the pool was closed until Easter, despite the fact that I had phoned to check just a few days previously whether it was open. I believe the house has undergone a recent change in ownershipmanagement eg the contact name on Sykes website is out of date so maybe they are still putting final arrangements in place. It would have been helpful if this was mentioned when we booked. However, once these issues are solved we would definitely stay again.

Joanna

The property is excellent and very spacious and comfortable. We were pleased to find large pans in the kitchen, suitable for a family group's meals. The only thing we would have liked added was a cafetiere. Great position near the beach and the pool at Sunnysands was lovely. Really good value for money.

Callum

Wonderful stay that provided our party with all the amenities we needed to make an absolutely incredible week! Well kept and the perfect blend of cozy and rustic. My only disappointment was being unable to bring the dog with us, but the area and home more then made up for it. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of holidaying around North Wales, well worth the stay!

Fantastic house. Comfy and clean. Fantastic location. Lots of amenities close by. would definitely recommend. However, bring your own favourite utensils from your kitchen because the kitchen is poorly equipped for 10 people.

Second visit to Tyddyn Goronwy. Fantastic house in a great area with lovely views. Everything you could need is at the house, with a lovely garden to relax in. A 10 minute walk takes you to the fantastic beach. Lots of amenities around, with a great pub within walking distance Ysgethin Inn. The pub is in a beautiful setting along the river.

Nice to have some luxury on holiday with space and cleanlines in a good location. Thank you from Pete and family

Gorgeous house in an ideal location, lots to do in the area, thank you for a lovely holiday, would be better if the WiFi reached the tv so you can watch Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube ect. Would give people something to do on a rainy day.

We absolutely loved this house and its location. The house itself feels incredibly warm, cosy and welcoming. And the standard of dcor was spot on. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable, with great bed linen. We would genuinely come back and stay here. And there aren't many places we would say that about.

Lovely location for a group with young children, lots of space in house and Sandy beach within walking distance

Beverly

Very clean and spacious property, great wifi, the property had everything we needed for a family holiday. perfect!!

The house was wonderful spotless and well equipped. Would definitely recommend it.

Russell

The house was fantastic. Great location and great size. The owner was very helpful before and throughout our stay, answering any questions and queries we had very promptly and thoroughly. The only negative was the lack of wifi, otherwise everything was spot on.

The house was perfect for our family holiday

Really appreciated the welcome basket on arrival.

Sharon

Fantastic house, spacious,clean and most importantly comfy beds. We have 4 kids ranging from 1 year to 5 years old, they loved the garden which is huge and safe for them to run about in. Nice large outside table which was great as we ate breakfast & the evening meal in the garden most days as the weather was so good. Beach about 10 mins away. Station literally 2 minutes away, we caught the train to Fairbourne. It's great way to go up & down the coast if you want to avoid the traffic. Would book again.

The house was lovely, well kept, well equipped, very clean and we had a lovely time. WiFi was poor, no mention of house being beside a railway line In the description although the trains werent frequent or overly disturbing, Description said we would have the use of a swimming pool which wasnt correct.

Lovely house in a great place in Wales. Lots of walking can be done from the doorstep with a train station seconds walk away from the house. You don't notice the noise! Facilities ok, few issues with showers but reported them to owner on departing. Wouldn't hesitate to go back to Tyddyn Goronwy as we had a great week, despite the awful weather.

The house was immaculate, very well appointed, and the complimentary basket was very well appreciated when we arrived at the property. The property is even better than the photos suggest. The only minor issue which could be addressed simply by adding a trellis or some other natural screening, is that the adjacent camping site has a toilet shower block immediately next to the house which does takeaway a degree of privacy. Kind regards, Michael Cox.

Our cottage was perfect for 10 friends meeting up for an annual holiday. We were situated close to Snowdon and Cader Idris for the fittest and a beautiful beach 5 minutes away for the rest. The nearby swimming pool was lovely and warm and often empty. The house had everything we needed. When one person asked for a lighter duvet, it was delivered very quickly. All staff were very friendly. We would all give the house full marks.

Elaine

There is so much to say about this house and all good it's under 10 minutes stroll to beach. A few minutes walk to the train to BarmouthHarlech. The house itself is well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. We had three generations staying the youngest was five and the eldest over seventy and each and everyone of us enjoyed it. We hope to return and that in itself says it all. The older children complained about the speed of the Wifi but to us that was a bonus as we got them out and about more.

The house made us all feel right at home, very comfortable and cosy. We had a great time and made some fabulous family memories

Excellent cottage. Well appointed, spacious, comfortable and great for a larger group of family or friends.

Sheila

Most enjoyable holiday, great house very warm and comfortable

Maura H

This is a perfect setting for a larger family group, or group of friends vacationing together. With two comfortable reception rooms, and a spacious dining room, six bedrooms two en suite, plus two family bathrooms and two extra toilets there is plenty of room for everyone in a large group. The house is decorated and equipped to a very high standard even in the nicest selfcatering house, there is usually one thing you would change or improve I can't think of a single thing The weather was wild and windy while we were there, but we managed to find brighter moments for great walks, and the beach is a short stroll from the house. There were some very interesting options for eating out, even within walking distance. Tyddyn Goronwy was a terrific find!

A lovely house we want to pick it up and put it anywhere in the country where we are having a holiday ! ! It met all our varied needs and was so well equipped .

Virginia

This home was perfect for our three families to share. It had every amenity that we needed for our holiday, including a helpful welcome hamper of food for our first breakfast upon arrival.
