Ty'r Ysgol Reviews

Stella

A beautiful home with everything we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed the Hot tub and the crackling log fire in the evenings. I cant thank you more than enough and i would recommend to my friends and family.

Claire

This cottage is an absolute gem! We loved it. great location just minutes from the beach. The cottage is cosy and cozy and warm, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was clean and tidy. The hot tub was superb. wouldn't hesitate to recomend and would definitely return. Thanks to David and Sharon the hosts who were attentive and pleasant throughout!

We visited this lovely property and it was first class in everyway, what a hidden gem. We have stayed in many properties and this is one of the best. Very clean, spacious, enclosed back garden which is perfect for the dog. Hot tub was lovely for relaxing and log burner made it cosy at night too. Beach is close by perfect for exercising the dog as well as us. David was very helpful and easy to contact. We intend to stay here once again hopefully when the weather is better.

Susanne

A lovely property, we will try and come back next year

Jennie

What a lovely cottage in an excellent location! We had a fabulous stay here with 4 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage had everything we needed and more! The cottage was well situated for exploring North Wales with lots of castles for us and the dogs to explore and walks along the beach. We will certainly come back when were next in the area!

Lovely property, great location to the beach, and the beach club restaurantpub. Owners were extremely helpful with a couple of questions we had whilst there. Hot tub is a massive bonus as was the secure garden for the dogs.

We love this cottage shame cant get a date for next year

We all agreed the best one yet! We had a really good feeling as soon as we walked through the door every thing that we needed and more so comfortable and welcoming my daughter and granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub We could not have wished for anything better in fact all the years we have rented holiday cottages this is far the best

Elaine

We had a lovely short stay at the cottage. Owners were great, we were close to all amenities and it was very comfortable. Best of all the garden was secure for the dogs, this is not always the case and makes such a difference.

Lovely, well equipped cottage with lots of thoughtful touches like books and games. Very well decorated with an attractive garden. The perfect base to do as much or as little as you want. Well definitely be booking again in the future.

Fantastic but stairs not suitable to for a person with disability very steep and ... Fantastic but stairs not suitable to for a person with disability very steep and narrow but we loved the whole cottage and especially the conservatory lovely was dissapointed with the beach had to pay 8 to park on the beach and then was annoyed with the young people coming onto the beach in their super up cars and speeding up and down with young children about, loved our holiday

Andrew

Beautifully done holiday cottage with every comfort you could wish for Situated in a lovely area close to the beach

Patricia

We can highly recommend the house for a very comfortable holiday. It was spacious, well furnished in every room, very well equipped kitchen, warm and very clean. The large private garden which backed onto golf course was also equipped with high quality garden furniture, large hot tub and bbq. Safe for dog. Luckily, for April, we spent time in garden and very comfortable conservatory. We were delighted and can highly recommend for an excellent holiday home, location and amazing beaches

Lovely cottage in a great location for the beach. Garden is beautiful, hot tub great, very clean and hosts on hand and friendly. Highly recommend and would look to book again! Thank you!

Suzanne

Lovely cottage. Fully equipped. Tastefully decorated and it doesn't take long to feel at home. Fully recommend staying here. Perfectly placed for exploring the North Wales.

Weve enjoyed our 3rd stay in this beautiful cottage. Its warm, spacious and ideally placed to explore the area. It was unfortunate that there were a couple of plumbing problems during our stay but the owners were brilliant at communicating and trying to get the situation resolved nothing serious enough to spoil our lovely week.

Hayley

Our Christmas stay at this cottage was prefect everything about it was lovely

Heather

The property is a lovely house but there are a few maintenance issues. The plug in the upstairs bathroom sink could not be released easily. I ran a bath and went back up to get in it and the water had drained out even though the plug was in properly. The hot water upstairs was not very hot and the central heating did not work properly which I reported to the owner, thankfully there was log burners to compensate for the lack of heating. Although the hot tub was new we found it to be dirty. The shower head was leaking. The property did not appear to have been cleaned properly as there was cobwebs on the lamps. We are not really complainers and love the house as we have stayed her many times this being our 9th time but just feel the all round maintenance has slipped a bit. We paid a lot of money in the current climate for our 7 night stay

Susanne

We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday at Ty'r Ysgol. The property felt like a real home from home. We used the hot tub in the dark evenings which was lovely after a day's walking. The heated front porch was a great place to dry outdoor clothing. We will definitely be back!!!

Stuart

Great base to explore the area, extremely happy with our accommodation.

Fantastic house, with everything you could need. Garden secure for dogs and the local facilities are all just a short stroll away.

Beautiful place to stay. The owner was so helpful with ideas for days out, restaurants and dog walks. Would definitely go back. Lovely walk to a wonderful beach with lots of water pools when the tide went out which is ideal for small children. Short drive into Porthmadog to a local supermarket and a very tasty fish and chop shop.

Graham

The cottage was perfect in terms of its size, level of appointment and location. This was the first time we had been together as a family since Christmas and everyone loved it. Particular thanks to the owners who promptly responded to our queries

Well situated within a 10 minute stroll to the lovely dog friendly beach. We met the cleaners on our arrival purely due to the fact the previous inconsiderate occupants hadnt vacated until 12.30pm!!! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially with the added benefit of the hot tub for pure relaxation. The garden is totally dog safe which was a bonus. The WiFi was brilliant and we were able to stream Netflix with no problems. Very peaceful with the occasional golfer on the course behind the house.

We had an amazing stay at Ty Ysgol, the house was cosy with lots of welcoming features. We love the hot tub and we like that we could go walking to local pubs and shops as well as the beach. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely stunning property cleaned to perfection and everything you would EVER need to hand. I've never been in a self catering home with so many kitchen utensils, condiments and extras before! I can assure you if you have forgotten something they will have it this place had much more than my home!!! My daughters loved the toys, games and hot tub which backs onto the golf course with sheep running around freely! The property is not overlooked at all as it has trees surrounding it, golfers are few and far between and the community hall next door wasn't open. The dogs loved the garden and we loved how enclosed it was including the drive way so the dogs could be let in and out of the car without worrying about the road. Such a quiet, relaxing and comfortable place, perfect for our family to explore Snowdonia and Anglesey. We did walk into Porthmadog and took the circular route which wasn't ideal for pushchairs but a beautiful walk nonetheless. Black Rock sands down the road perfect for all the family. Owners were on hand when we had a query later on the week and they were so lovely and accommodating. I would highly recommend this wonderful property to anyone and would love to come back and stay again!

Our second visit to Ty'r Ysgol and already booked for next year! We absolutely love the houseit is warm, spacious and has everything you need and more. The hot tub is fantastic at this time of year nothing better than a long wintery walk on the beach then back to relax in it! The area has so much to offer. Overall a wonderful holiday thank you

Tyr Ysgol is a lovely cottage, in a great quiet location but only a few mins away from all the amenities you could ever want. The garden is fully enclosed and secure. The parking as good. The cottage is warm and comfortable with plenty of space. The downstairs shower room is perfect for when you use the hot tub, which is in a great place for stargazing. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean and its maintained very well. The sofas are a little soft and the kitchen could do with a better set of kitchen knives, but thats pretty close to perfect. We loved our stay and hope to return next year.

Nicola

Spent a lovely Christmas at this well presented property. With the beach a short walk away and shops and other sights nearby it was ideal for us. I must mention that the pictures on site do not do the property credit as it is much larger than expected accommodating 6 of us plus 2 dogs easily. A big thank you to the owners for making our holiday one to remember.

Lovely house ideal for our break in an area we enjoy visiting. Easily able to contact owner ahead of arrival. House was really cosy and had everything we needed. Many thanks Maria&Mike

Thank you David and Sharon for another wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage. We have already booked up for 2023. Julie, Paul and Boley

Sharon

Lovely property with a great secure garden. The hot tub is fabulous with a nice view. We've been before years ago and it's still as good. We love it.

Excellent property with exceptional facilities true home from home. Beautiful decor with some lovely pictures, well set out. It was a lovely surprise to find everything you need for a trip to the fabulous Black Rock Sands beach just there for your use. Beach Bar is wonderful too especially if you have little ones very good food. Highly recommended cottage & location is great too.

Beverley

Excellent location,beautiful house

Absolutely lovely, home from home. Very clean and well equipped. Would definitely like to stay here again.

Lovely house, private yet close to the lovely beach. Really convenient location. Facilities great. Kitchen very well equipped. Very comfortable and room to spread out if it happens to rain. The view from the hot tub of the hills was lovely. A great, relaxing holiday.

Joanne

The property was lovely and well equipped with everything you could of imagined and more. Lovely and clean and well presented.

An absolutely beautiful, comfortable luxurious home from home. The owners have a very special cottage and they have made sure that everything you need is there. We loved the space, the peace,the hot tub and the general level of quality about the place. We have already booked again for next year!

The house was outstanding. Loved our stay here, the house literally has everything you could need. The welcome pack was lovely too. The area is lovely too really close to beach. A lot of restaurants and tourist attractions werent open with it been January but that was ok as we did lots of walking on the beach and drove out to surrounding villages to see what they had to offer. Definitely want to visit again in summer and see what else it has to offer

Stayed over New Year, party of 6,plus 2 dogs. Fantastic cottage, lovely and cosy especially when log burner on. Underfloor heating kept us warm also. Lots of lovely goodies on arrival, consisting of choccies,biscuits, Baileys, Prosecco, mince pies and more. Also a welcome pack with washing up liquid and general items. So so welcome. After morning walk on beach, into hot tub, then food and drinks in well equipped kitchen. Then relax in chrismassy lounge with roaring log fire or conservatory for evening star gazing. Such a fantastic end to a chaotic year. Would definitely recommend. Ideal for walks in local area. Little shop opposite .. was not open all the time but as it was New Year we were not surprised. Will definitely return.
