We enjoyed our stay in Borth y Gest. Good communication with the hosts, who even gave us a tray of cakes and tea bags when we arrived. House was nice and comfortable. 5 minutes from Porthmadog (need sat nav to find the house). So many places to see nearby. Diolch yn fawr

A lovely fresh clean home with comfy settees and bed. Not cluttered but with enough implementsto make it a home from home.
The host was so thoughtful to my situation bringing me flowers. Also response was quick and helpful to an enquiry.
You are close to a wood and minutes from a beach. Perfect for walking the dog.
Also a great base for so many places to visit
My one comment which is because I read alot is the lightening. A lamp added would have made a difference. I hope to be back soon.

The house was immaculate! It had everything it said it had (and more: there were hairdryers, 3 in fact – one for each room!) The welcome pack was a wonderful treat and the owner couldn’t do enough for us. It was perfect for both our 90 year old aunt on a frame, our children and dog. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved disney plus! No ‘normal’ channels, but the smart tele had everything we needed. It was lovely overlooking the bay, and even though there was a 50th garden party 1 night, there was no noise in the house, and the neighbours were quite and lovely. The only small downside was not having an enclosed garden or area, as out small dog had be kept on a lead to do it’s business all the time. We couldn’t just let him out in a morning, but accompany him, sometimes in our pjs. Sorry neighbours! But plenty of amazing walks nearby and hope to return. Thanks for having us, we were sad to leave.

We love Borth-y-Gest and this modern holiday home suited our needs for a last minute short break. Lovely owner who popped over to check on our needs. Welcome pack of milk, tea, sugar, Bara Brith and wine was a great surprise.

We had such a perfect relaxing break at Ty Gwyn. Excellent house in a fantastic location, extremely clean and well-equipped, a very comfortable home. Good WIFI and a brand new big TV. The location is an excellent base for exploring North Wales. Several beauty beaches in walking distance. Helpful and very friendly owner nearby. We would highly recommend Ty Gwyn and definitely come back !
Thank you for a lovely stay.

We (2 adults, three children) had a brill week staying at Ty Gwyn. The house itself was great; a good size, bright, clean, well furnished and just a hundred yards from the harbour and a short walk to a series of interconnected beaches – the little welcome bundle of food was a really nice gesture too. Borth y Gest is a lovely and quiet village, in an ideal location from which to explore North Wales with Porthmadog, Portmeirion and the fabulous beach at Morfa Bychan just a few minutes drive away. Llanberis, from where the Snowdon Mountain Railway departs, is a staggeringly beautiful 40min drive away and the Llechwedd Zip World/ Slate Caverns site is about 30mins away. For a relaxed evening meal we recommend the Grapes Hotel in nearby Maentwrog (20mins drive) – good value with a beautiful view. As regards the booking process, communication with Dioni was great throughout and we completely recommend Ty Gwyn as the perfect base from which to enjoy your holiday!!!!!

The house was immaculately clean. Well set up for 5 people. Decoration was in good order. Great position in bay.
Everything that we needed. We spent most of of the time with our 2 grand daughters at two of the Zip worlds, they had a whale of a time.
Thank you Patricia and Chris.

Just enjoyed a great week in this lovely comfortable home.The welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated. The house is very well equipped with lots of extras like hand soap by all basins and washing up liquid. Very comfortable bed and heating on demand, very welcome on a few evenings. Easy to walk into Porthmadog and lovely walks along the coast. This made an excellent base for exploring castles,gardensâŠBodnant Garden in particular is lovelyâŠbeaches and .mountains. The owner kept in touch to check if there was anything we needed thank you Angharad.

Lovely few days at Ty-Gwyn. Spotlessly clean, quality furnishings and fittings. Ideal situation in beautiful village, minutes from the sea and easy access to cliff paths. Walking distance of Porthmadog. In the village itself, the Sea View restaurant was popular and the Baie Borth deli a lovely place for lunches and coffee. Helpful owner nearby if needed, ideal family holiday let.
Clare Bell
Just returned from a lovely week in Borth-y-Gest. The house was lovely – clean, spacious for 5 of us and well equipped.
Location of the house was perfect for walking into Porthmadog, the coastal path to Samson’s Bay and beyond. The village and harbour are very pretty. Will definitely be back….
Alice
A really lovely home in a perfect location. The kitchen is well stocked and the views from the patio area are an added bonus. The owners of the property could not have been more accommodating and we had a fantastic holiday in Ty Gwyn!
Gwenno
Great house in a fab location, has everythimg you need for your stay! Conveniently located to go to the beach and splendid views from the house – diolch, would definitely recommend
Hannah
A spotlessly clean, well appointed home in a fantastic location. Owners extremely welcoming and lovely Easter treats for kids on arrival. Great location to explore all that North Wales has to offer. Enjoyed so much weâre booking again!
Dawn
Wonderful bolthole! Perfect location to take in the fabulous coastline views. The cottage had everything you could desire, even a snippet of the sea from the patio. Excellent presentation and layout with a downstairs wc which is always a bonus.
Ideal for families or couples. With an ice cream shop and two lovely restaurants within 5 – 10 mins walkâŠ. Whatâs not to like! Can highly recommend.

Really nice clean, tidy, comfortable house. Made a great base for Snowdon and the village is perfect, the Moorings Bistro was fantastic……. particularly chuffed with the service provided by Dioni and the amazing property owner who was awesome.

We spent a most enjoyable week at Ty Gwyn. It is well maintained, spotlessly clean and very comfortable with everything one could want or hope for. It is in a quiet and peaceful area and just a few minutes stroll from the sea front and cafés. The owner is just a few minutes away and is most welcoming and helpful.
Chris and Howard
Thank you for a very restful break in your spotlessly clean and well-situated property.

Great location in Borth Y Gest. Easy quick 15 mins walk into Porthmadog to Lidell. Easy walk to the beaches and highly recommend daily trips to Black Rock (ÂŁ5 parking for the day there).
The cottage itself is very well maintained with a great living room and large patio – miss sitting on the patio enjoying breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening.
The bedrooms upstairs (one double, one with twin beds, and one with a single bed) had great windows and views. Bathroom upstairs with large bath and shower over the bath and toilet. Good sizes.
Kitchen is well stocked and the welcome basket of Welsh tea, oatcakes, milk and bottle of wine was most welcome.
Great hot water for the bathroom and the toilet downstairs was a nice luxury. A couple more hand towels would have been nice but such a minor issue we did not mention it to the owners but know if we had they would have provided them. The hair dryer was very welcome.
Beds were very comfortable. Many TV channels for a lazy day in.
Clean and welcoming and if we needed anything the owners were very prompt to respond. Local neighbours had a ready greeting for us. It was nice to watch the children playing games in the common area and if you had kids great place for them to play while the parents watch from the patio (or join in).
Nice parking space next to the front door.
Felt very safe and most welcome in the community.
Would stay here again as great owners and wonderful location.
Rachel
Lovely house with own parking and great location for walking / kayaking to nearby beaches. Hosts easily contactable and very helpful. Will definitely recommend.
Nicola Harris
Beautifully clean and well maintained property. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Good communication with owners if needed although we did not need them. House had everything you could possibly need. Parking space right next to property . Good base for exploring the area. 15 minutes walk into Porthmadog. Only a couple of minutes walk to local harbour. Would love to go again. Highly recommended
