A wonderful cottage, in a fantastic location. Perfect base for some dog walks and day trips, and the cottage itself was very welcoming and cosy. The campsite down the road sold a lovely variety of products, and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Tyffynon is a really lovely cottage to stay in. Cleanliness is obviously very important to whoever prepares this cottage. The linen was immaculate. So many comfortable places to sit and relax. The only thing I would advise to anyone planning to stay here is take a couple of comfortable garden chairs as the metal bistro chairs are a little hard!

Lovely area with stunning views but cottage in need of some TLC. Mattress in main bedroom not great, too soft and dipped in middle. TV poor, can only watch BBC channels live, everything else is catch up only and no ITV at all. Nice garden for dogs, fully enclosed.
