Overview
Property code: OC-T28147

Welcome to this charming riverside stone cottage in the Southern Area of the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), offering a cosy retreat for families, friends and their beloved pets. Set just 1 mile above the village of Bontddu, this traditional Welsh Longhouse provides an ideal base for exploring the stunning surroundings and comes complete with a comforting wood burner in the cosy lounge. Positioned halfway between the coastal town of Barmouth and the historic market town of Dolgellau, you'll find yourself perfectly situated to enjoy the best of both coast and countryside. Each town has a wide selection of shops and restaurants to enhance your stay.

Inside, discover wonderful original features such as the inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, wooden floorboards and feature stone walls. The kitchen has windows looking out over two very different sides of the garden, perfect for preparing meals with a view. Then enjoy your creations together at the dining table in the adjacent lounge. After a day of adventures, unwind on the rustic chairs and watch TV or enjoy the warmth of the wood burner. Two steps down from the kitchen, you'll find the utility room, cloakroom and stylish shower room. Up the steep, narrow stairs, the library landing offers a peaceful retreat with more seating to enjoy different views of the beautiful surroundings. Choose from two lovely bedrooms, each with exposed beams and the original uneven wooden floors, which complement your stay in this old farm property full of character. Outside, the cottage is surrounded by a large garden bordered by the upper reaches of the Hirgwm River. Enjoy morning coffee on the sunny bench with views of Cadair Idris or explore the grassed areas on various levels, following the sun throughout the day. The riverside games/sunroom provides additional seating and entertainment options, making it the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dining and soak in the stunning views around the garden as you listen to the river.

From the front door, enjoy scenic walks such as ascending Diffwys mountain via the Cambrian Way or enjoy a circular walk down to the village along the Hirgwm River. For a day at the seaside, take a 6-mile drive to the sandy beach at Barmouth. Alternatively, embark on an adventure to explore Cadair Idris, the highest mountain in southern Snowdonia, or cycle along the Mawddach Trail offering breathtaking views along the disused railway line. For water sports enthusiasts, Bala is 23 miles away, with sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding on Llyn Tegid. Then enhance your evening with excellent stargazing opportunities as Eryri is an international Dark Sky Reserve.

A wonderful cottage with a beautiful garden. So peaceful. You will have to be fit to walk up and down the road to the cottage. Just over the cattle grid is a house selling honey, if you love honey get some. It's the best honey I've tasted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the indifferent weather. The house was very comfortable (I loved the small study area upstairs) and the sorrounding was superb.The sound of the fast flowing stream in the garden, had such a magical feel to it! We did some of the well known walks and bike trails (Precipice Walk, Mawddach Trail) but there are plRead moreenty of walking routes right from the house itself, as one climbs up the road by the house. Hope to return again! Hide

The cottage was lovely! Perfectly located nestled in the hills away from ambient town lighting or even a whisper and yet accessible to the surrounding region. Kitchen and facilities were spot on, a welcome home away from home with many original and new features. We loved having our morning coffee next to the river! Thank you!

A great place to stay in Snowdonia. We found the constant murmur of the stream relaxing and a great place to try out the ice bath technique of athletes to recover from strenuous activity. Tynlon boasts fantastic walks from its front door. A treck uphill leads you to open country. Looking back towards the cottage, Cader Idris forms a fine back drop Read moreto the River Mawddach. Once the mountain in front of you is scaled views of Snowdon off to the North await. We found old gold mines within walking distance and sorted through a spoil heap just in case some had been missed. The coast at Barmouth is a short drive away and has a year round dog friendly section of beach to enjoy. Barmouth Co-Op is also where bought our provisions for our stay. Sitting at the southern edge of Snowdonia Tynlon is perfectly placed to explore the area on foot or after a short drive. Reviewed by Martin Hide

Ive enjoyed staying at Tyn Lon in all seasons. What I love most about it is the feeling of being in a real hill farm cottage up in the mountains whilst having good road access and all the comforts of home. All the modern facilities have been put in without changing the essential character & quite ancient feeling at the heart of the place. I love Read morebeing able to just walk out of the door and straight into the hills, in 30 mins I can be on a wild hillside with a spectacular view over the estuary and either make a short circular walk and back or carry on for the day. There are so many routes to explore, from drovers ways to forestry tracks, short woodland paths to ridge routes. I enjoy a short evening walk up through the woods by the stream and out onto the open fells to watch dusk fall over Cader in the fading light. I can sit for ages and watch the stream, either from the bank or inside from the comfort of the upstairs windows. The electric heating keeps the whole house cosy and the logburner makes a welcome warming glow to sit round in dark winter evenings. I was lucky enough to be there once in December when it snowed and had the most magical walks with beautiful views all round, without straying more than an hour from the front door. I did wonder about the road access but the local farmer popped his head over the gate & reassured me that his son would be out gritting the road first thing in the morning & Id be just fine in my little hatchback, and indeed I was. Id certainly recommend it, Ive felt very lucky to be able to stay there and i hope to make many more visits. Hide
