"A very comfortable cottage in a lovely setting, a very enjoyable vacation."
The only downside was that it was a long trek to the downstairs bathroom in the middle of the night.

"Cottage is in a fabulous location in North Wales and has every amenity you could wish for, well laid out Cottage with a cosy feel and beautiful inglenook fireplace with log burner, the whole area is lovely with a nice dog walk over the hill right behind the property."
It's close to the Ffestiniog steam railway for a nice trip to Porthmadog. Bedrooms are cosy and bedding is provided, had a lovely sleep every night, the location is great, you feel like you are right in the hills and mountains and fantastic access to Snowdonia national parks, lots of great driving roads so make sure your car and driving is up to it. Would we come back?? Definitely!!

"Delightful little cottage in an ideal location for exploring this part of Wales."
Well equipped for a cosy and comfortable holiday, whatever the weather!

"This is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location for exploring!"
The cottage has everything I've never been to a cottage that is so well equipped. It's gorgeous with lovely decor and beds that are amazingly comfortable and a great kitchen dining area. The fire place is a wonderful feature. Bob the dog refused to leave...the highest of compliments

"Ty Mawr is an absolutely beautiful Welsh cottage."
Everything that you could possibly need for a thoroughly relaxing stay is included inside this cottage. This is our second stay and we would return again without any hesitation. We received a lovely warm welcome as heating was on during arrival. Also greeted with a lovely bottle of Prosecco and hand written card. What a great start to our stay. Our dog just loves the location of Ty Mawr because of the hill just above the cottage. Blaenau Ffestiniog is just such a great place to base yourself. So close to Snowdonia National park and array of stunning local beaches.

"It’s a fab cottage"

Cottage is cosy and welcoming. Very clean ,comfortable beds and sofas. Thank you for lovely welcoming gift. We hope to come back soon!

"Amazing cottage had everything you would want from a holiday home."
I have never been to a holiday home that supplies so much stuff. Everything about it was such high quality, the welcome gift of Prosecco and sparkling fruit juice was a lovely thought. There are so many lovely places to visit around the area.

"Just two small points: • On / off shower control could be easier to turn, as currently a large, stiff control needing two hands to turn."
• Blankets on sofa smelt a bit doggy on arrival. Ty Mawr is a beautiful, cosy property with every possible detail thought of, including ample parking and lovely paved & lawned outside areas. It is well located and we would definitely recommend. Thank you :-)
Thank you for comments. Blankets are changed on each changeover so should not be any dog related smells. The shower has a physical switch that may require two hands but it is in working order. Owner lives locally so could have addressed issues during your stay if reported. Property Owner

"An absolutely fabulous cottage."
Every facility you could possibly wish for, and then more. A delightful Welsh cottage, with great old world charm. We were welcomed with a personal greeting which was lovely. Very well presented and great decor. A credit to the owner.
-
"I never usually write feedback but felt compelled to with this cottage - it was FANTASTIC."
I have never stayed in such a well provided for place, the owners had thought of everything and more! Could not recommend this place enough. Ideally situated for visiting many places nearby - Harlech beach was amazing.
-
"Great cottage."
Very clean and was more roomy inside than expected. However, the stairs are rather narrow! It did get cool in the evenings, but the heating was responsive and there were fleecy throws to wrap in. There are two good sized parking spaces off a small side lane. As the picture shows, the cottage is next to a main road, so there is some traffic noise, but we were still able to get a good night's sleep in the comfortable beds. There are information books and leaflets available in the cottage which we used for walks. The bottle of prosecco was a nice touch. Diolch yn fawr!
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at Ty Mawr."
Directions to the cottage and arrival instructions were perfect. Our first impressions both outside and inside the cottage "what a gorgeous place this is". Every room was beautifully presented, with even the smallest attention to detail taken care of. We would like to say thank you for the lovely card and bottle of wine on arrival. Without a doubt we would stay at this gorgeous cottage again. Such a jewel in a stunning part of North Wales.

"Perfect in every way."

"We had a fantastic stay at Ty Mawr."
The cottage was exactly as it is on the photos and in a great location to explore Snowdonia. It was great enjoying the garden in the sunshine after a day of walking and felt like being at home thanks to being able to cook meals in the kitchen. Highlights included, private parking, secure garden, clean towels, kitchen with all utensils and a washing machine. It did get a little chilly in the evening downstairs due to the slate so recommend bring extra blankets/jumper. Comfortable nights sleep. Will be back again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback , we are glad you enjoyed your visit and are delighted that you will be returning to stay with us ,there are blankets dotted around the house and also a generous starter pack of logs is provided for the multi fuel stove for chillier days. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage!"
Just what we needed as a base to visit all local areas and even some family!! Lovely touch with the Prosecco and sparking fruit juice on arrival! Would definitely recommend Ty Mawr.
-
"What a lovely cottage!"
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Surrounded by beautiful views, great walks, ideal for our pup and so much to do nearby. Very relaxing. The welcome Prosecco was well received. We didn't want to leave.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ty Mawr which is a lovely cottage & I would certainly recommend it."
It is situated in a beautiful area & ideal for visiting surrounding places. Marian has made it very comfortable & welcoming for her visitors. Diolch yn fawr!
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage which was very well situated for the activities and places we intended to visit."
Parking was a real bonus. We pretty much had everything we needed for a self catering holiday, though we had expected a dishwasher ( wasn’t essential though) and could have had measuring/Pyrex jugs for making stock etc. Otherwise we were very impressed with all the facilities and little extras. Very cosy and welcoming after a day on the hills and lakes! Would definitely book again!!!
-
"Fantastic cottage, just as pictured, wonderful facilities and welcome package."
Really enjoyed our stay
-
"This cottage is beautiful."
Perfect location with stunning views. Owner has thought of everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Highly recommended great for pets with enclosed garden.
-
"The cottage exceeded my expectations, which were already high, it was exactly as per the listing and photos."
It was very clean and very spacious. We didn’t use the garden as it was February when we stayed and not great weather for sitting outside. However would be great in warmer weather. owner communication was very prompt, helpful and friendly. Location great for exploring Snowdonia National park, very close to Porthmadog, Portmeirion , zip world caves and plenty of walks in close proximity to the cottage. I could not ask for more from a cottage and will be back. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
-
"Lovely cozy clean cottage, really enjoyed staying there, the views out the back were great and great for the dogs."
My only negative comment, and this was nothing to do with the cottage , was that someone kept parking their car right outside the front door so it was quite difficult to use (carrying cases etc) , so we just kept to the back door . Great cottage, good location
-
"A beautifully appointed cottage that is perfectly situated for exploring in Snowdonia."
-
"Absolutely stunning cosy well looked after cottage one of the nicest places we have stayed in Wales would definitely recommend this cottage."

"Great location for visiting north wales and snowdonia."
Our second stay clean tidy with all facilities provided. Loved it once again and would not hesitate to recommend.
-
"Beautiful cottage inside and out, everything is thought about so you turn up and you feel at home straight away, there is some noise from the rd but really doesnt distract from the cottage and the surrounding area, a small light on the back far steps would be helpful, but would definitely recommend."
-
"We couldn't fault the accommodation at all, everything was provided for us and it really is a lovely place to stay."
Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely cottage, perfectly placed to explore North Wales / Snowdonia / Lyn Peninsula, kitted out with everything you’d need for a comfortable, home from home stay."
Thanks very much.
-
"Beautifully presented, clean cottage with everything you may need to make it a home from home."
Location wise, it provided an excellent base to explore that part of Wales. The local town has little to offer in terms of places to eat out in the evening which was the only negative to the location. Great parking behind the cottage, which is a big plus as the road is busy. We hired the cottage as it was dog friendly, which the cottage is however the garden isn't totally secure. One of our dogs, a medium size breed, jumped the wall into the garden next door so he was unable to use the garden freely after that.
-
"Very clean and tastefully decorated, very cosy and quiet."
Everything you need for a break away. Close to the mountains, beach isn't far away, and shops close by in the village or a short drive in porthmadog. A very warm and cosy house, parking on site which is extremely handy. Has a well stocked log burner as well as radiators which after 9 hours climbing mountains was a god send, functional kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. The host was really friendly and informative, and a lovely welcome gift upon arrival. Thank you Marion!

"Everything went great"

"Beautiful cosy cottage!"

"The cottage was a perfect place to stay to tour snodonia and surrounding area"
-
"Lovely views from the garden."
Very central location for mountains and beaches.
-
"Lovely, well equipped cottage."
It was spotlessly clean and is ideally equipped for walkers and cyclists with a bike rack in the garden. Plentiful, parking space with access via the adjacent lane.
-
"The cottage was lovely but some points need to be made."
The lane up to the parking area is very steep and can be a problem in a large car and also to new drivers. Not enough info in the cottage regarding things inside the house, ie how to turn the heating off as house was way to warm. Very little info in the welcome folder, we had to hunt for instruction manuals for operating some electrical goods etc. No local info except a few out of date take away menus. No visitors book!!!!
.Thank you for your feedback. You can see from the pictures the road at the side of the property is uphill the actual car park is level. During the current time with Covid 19 certain items have had to be removed to facilitate the extra cleaning for your safety and well being.As you aware we are contactable by phone and all queries were dealt with that you sent through to us. We would have been more than happy to offer further assistance Property Owner

"The cottage is in an excellent location as many countryside walks can be done directly from the cottage."
-
"Beautiful cottage in the heart of North Wales We have just returned from a half term holiday staying at Ty Mawr."
There was a lovely warm welcome gift when we arrived at the beautifully furnished cottage. There was plenty of room for 2 adults, 2 children and our dog! The cottage is located at the southern end of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Parking is available off the main street at the back of the property. The cottage is about a mile away from the local Co-Op as well as all the Snowdonia attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, even though the weather wasn't great, we enjoyed coming back to the cottage, lighting the log burner for a cosy night in! Hopefully we will get the chance to visit again.
-
"A lovely cottage, cosey and well situated for exploring Wales."
-
"We stayed at Ty Mawr for a week over Christmas - and it was fantastic."
Four adults and a dog had plenty of space, the log burner made evenings in playing board games very cosy and the cottage was very well equipped (even for cooking Christmas lunch!). It's in a great location for hiking and exploring Snowdonia National Park: we were able to hike from the cottage on a different route every day and the history of the area is very interesting. Highly recommended - we will definitely return.
-
"Lovely cosey cottage, really appreciated the welcome pack and fire that was built in the wood burner ready for us."
A quiet cottage and only 20 minutes from the beach. We will be back.
-
"Fab place. Very cosy, decor lovely."
Great location for exploring the area. Highly recommended.
-
"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it had everything we needed and the log burner made it very cosy, and we loved all the little homely touches."
We didn’t spend much time in the village as we only stayed 2 nights and spent our time exploring the nearby coast which is only a short drive away. The village itself has a very interesting history and there was lots of information on the local area and things to do.
-
"The cottage was wonderful, just what we wanted."
The owner was friendly, and helpful, but left us alone. Would definitely use this cottage again. Superb. Thank you
-
"10 out of 10 home from home"
-
"Perfect location for exploring."
Everything is around half hour drive away and the local pub 10 minutes walk away have new owners (which are lovely people) who are starting food soon so even better! The locals were friendly so always a bonus! The cottage itself had everything you could ask for including off road parking which if you visited the area, would know how difficult it is to get a space.
-
"Our 4th visit says it all."
Highly recommended, we have really enjoyed our holidays here. Love the cottage and log burner makes it so comfortable. 10/10

"A great little cottage in "downtown" Manod with great walks and breath taking views immediately around As a base for North and Central Wales, especially towards the coast, this is exceptional and with local shops in town and two great centers 30 minutes or so away (Betws-y-Coed and Porthmadog) the essentials are never out of reach."
We picked up guests from Holyhead which is a just over 90 minutes drive (a little less to Beaumaris) and also had a day out at Prestatin again 90 minutes or so drive (so Bangor and Conwy etc are inside these times) each way of course. We also went to Aberystwyth via Camelot Caverns with the return journey being 90 minutes and as far out as Abersoch and Aberanand inside an hour's (spectacular return) drive... Blaenau Ffestiniog is a little run down, but the chippy (Trish n chips) is fantastic, the Coop a godsend and the people all so friendly and being nestled at the head of the Vale of Ffestiniog with the mountains and slate mines looming around it is still a great place to visit and browse the local shops. Shops are closed on Sundays! We did not ride the trains as it would seem that they consider dogs below even third class citizens and are not allowed, so we took our dogs to the beaches (check access as many are restricted 1 May - 30 Sept). Got to be aware that the local walks are often sheep proofed, so you may need to manually insert and extract your pooches over sties and gates... our big and small westies were unable to cope with these challenges on their own (both being sub sheep sized), fortunately there are lots of walks with kissing gates, but for big dogs these can also present a challenge. Recommended...? Yes, 100%

"A beautiful decorated cottage very cosy and a delight for myself and family to stay in, including our Springer."
A great location to Harlech Beach (25 mins away) and Mt Snowdon (1hr away)
-
"This cottage is beautiful inside and out and spotlessly clean."
It has a real warmth like being in your own home and has been renovated to a very high standard. The walk straight from your back door to the lake between Manod Bach and Manod Mawr is just stunning and really good fun. Ty Mawr is in a perfect location to explore Snowdonia and even if you have poor weather over the mountains, you can drive north to Llandudno or Great Ormes Head and have brilliant sunshine more often than not. Pictures or television ads. just cannot capture the scenery here. The only way to really take it in is to go here and see it for yourself. There is always something amazing to do in Wales. I have no doubt that we will revisit Snowdonia time and time again over the coming years as it is like being in another country; like the woodlands of Canada.

"This has been the 3rd time staying in this lovely cosy cottage, it is so comfortable and cosy we keep going back, it has everything we need and the town is only a short walk away with a few shops and takeaways, there are also some lovely walks on the doorstep."
The little town of Pont-y-pant is only a short drive a way and is well worth a visit lots of shops and cafes very picturesque with the river running through it. Ty Mayr cottage has just extended the parking area which is brilliant it make parking a lot easier, we all look forward to our next visit.
-
"Lovely cottage in a perfect place."
Lots of walks near by and shops and restaurants. Cottage has everything you need and doggy friendly! Brilliant week away and would definitely stay again. Thank you

"Repeat visit - very enjoyable."

"North Wales, Ty Mawr cottage and Blaenau Ffestiniog - the good, the bad and the ugly."
We had a great time in North Wales, if you like walking and views this must be well at the top of the list and difficult to beat, it seems to feature so many times on BBC Countryfile and now we know why - North Wales, we will be back. Ty Mawr is a cottage situated on the outskirts of the main town of Blaenau Ffestiniog actually in Manod, it could be the last house. That meant walking to any local amenities shops, pub etc. was in our view excessive. The closest pub had recently closed down so a car journey was always necessary to get to the not so local convenience store. We quickly learnt to get what we needed on the way back to the cottage so as not to have to go out again. Going out again, now that was the problem. A parking space is proved and as you can read on other reviews it can be a challenge to get into and out of. It is not helped by the steep angles, low walls (not much can be done), and excessive vegetation, this can and should have been managed. Road side parking was a no-no, we believe the neighbours choose to park their cars directly outside to force Ty Mawr guests to use the off road space. Whilst we where there that issue was sorted, no-one can park outside because the local council have applied parking bans and painted double yellow lines directly outside the cottage. In fact we got a nice notice from the council asking us not to park our car there while they did the work. I think some of the local residents took offence as they spent the night moving the road side cones around. The cottage 'worked' lounge, kitchen/diner and bathroom all down stairs, comfortable but so needed a larger screen TV. Excellent there was BT WiFi and Sky TV but if you can't see it what's the point? Oh and the water pressure, I've never experienced such high water pressure, the cottage is in need of a water pressure regulator 'cause ever time you turned on a tap the high pressure caused splashing which needed moping up or drying off your clothes. Also, far to many of the owners 'bits' left in the cottage a little more clearance would give guests some more space. Bedrooms upstairs, both comfortable but the main bedroom (or the one with the double bed), was a little squeezed, (perhaps a smaller double). And no welcome pack! that was a first likely we had some milk. As for Blaenau Ffestiniog I can only describe it as 'grey'. It takes great pride in being an old slate mining town and you can see it. Some interesting features are the Llechwedd slate caverns, quarry explorer, Ffestiniog railway and local walks, these are a must if you like that sort of thing. The town isn't the most exciting but you are well positioned for the drives to, Betws-Y-Coed, the north coast resorts and of course Snowdon, the list goes on. Also there are some great pubs and walks in the driving area difficult to recommend them all.
The owner thanks you for your comments and is disappointed to hear that you were unhappy with the decor of the property as it is exactly as the photographs depict. With reference to the parking, it has been extended for easier access and can now accommodate 2 cars. Should you require any assistance in choosing the correct property for you please call our travel experts who are on hand to assist. Property Owner

"The cottage was to a high standard in cleanliness and very well equipped with lovely garden to sit in on nice sunny evenings and it was safe for our dog."
We enjoyed the fantastic scenery as there was plenty to see and do and local people were all friendly and helpful

"Cannot fault this cottage- our only issue was with parking to load and offload the car."
-
"We spent a week here in April and found this a beautiful little cottage."
It had all possible requirements we would want. Tastefully finished with many original features. Very comfortable and very well equipped with every thing we needed. Added bonus was the wifi. Super little enclosed garden which we found great for our patterdale terrier. Close to shops and amenities and the blaenau festiniog railway and centrally located to explore beautiful North Wales.the only negative was the coming and going of the neibours vehicals in the evening that were parked out side the property. Highly recommend. Will definitely book this property again. Thank you Mrs Jones 10/10

"The location, was perfectly centrally located for access to the many activities/locations in the area and surrounding countryside."
The property was clean and had all the facilities one could want from a rented cottage. With the off road parking being an added bonus. This was a getaway location for people wanting a quiet break away. The towns evening facilities were limited but after a hectic day out wasn't really problem.
