Amazing little cottage, amazing location!
I would highly recommend this cottage, perfect for a romantic getaway without any distractions and some lovely finishing touches (cushions, pictures etc.). No other houses in sight and nice walks immediately from door.
Kitchen/cooking items good, we had everything we needed for cooking various meals.
Underfloor heating and log burner means it’s nice and warm!
Not much mobile signal and no WiFi. This is a good thing if you’re looking to escape the stresses of daily life. But bring DVDs, bring books, bring games!
The Cot and High Chair on the listing weren’t in the cottage or we didn’t find them. Probably better for just two adults anyway but worth checking if you have a baby/toddler.
Water pressure was low, forget the shower and take a nice bath with a view. Water temperature very good and also clear for us.
Few bulbs needed replacing and a tap needed tightening. Probably been sorted by the time anyone reads this!
Thank you for having us, it was lovely.

Perfect little retreat in the peace and quiet. Cottage is stunning and has everything you will need for a relaxing weekend. Great location, easy enough to find, yet so secluded! We didn’t want to leave and are planning to return.

This cottage is set in peaceful surroundings, beautiful views. It’s cosy and a great place to get away from it all. Our host was amazing, it was our 30th wedding anniversary so arranged an afternoon tea for us upon arrival. It’s great that Bala is only a couple of minutes away. There are lovely walks around the cottage. We loved our stay and have made some lovely memories.

This little cottage was absolutely gorgeous, such a nice little break away from home. Gorgeous log burner and underfloor heating which was heavenly in the winter days. Gorgeous views from the house and very close to very scenic walks around the Bala Lake. Would love to go back.

Lovely week spent in this tucked away cottage; perfect base for long walks, cycle rides and using the local mountain bike centres. Our first holiday in Wales and the scenery did not disappoint – we’ll be back!

Had a fabulous week in this lovely secluded, peaceful cottage with only the little black cows as neighbours. Inside was clean, warm and comfortable with all the extras you could need in the kitchen. The bed was large and comfy with a nice big bathroom next door to the bedroom. The town of Bala is only a short drive away with shops for stocking up and plenty places to eat. Great central area for walking which we were able to enjoy as the weather was kind the week we were there. Also plenty of places of interest to visit within a short drive from the cottage e.g. Llangolen, Harlech Castle and the Glass Blobbery. We would definately recommend staying here and hope to revisit ourselves in the future.

First off, what a beautiful and fabulous place, perfect for a little romantic trip away with someone special. Tucked away from everyone else you feel a real sense of getting away from it all and a chance to properly relax. It’s also a great base to get out into the hills for some lovely walks. We ended up bringing a few ‘kitchen bits’ with us that we were not needed as despite the kitchen being compact it had every utensil/pot/pan you could possibly need.
A couple of really minor things that could make things even better would be:
a) A larger sofa that could accommodate a Tv watching, snuggling couple.
b) A way of turning down the heating.. I couldn’t get it to cool down and resorted to opening windows.
c) I know you can’t do anything about the peat in the water, but it’s worth mentioning to others that the romantic edge could be taken off a double dip in the bath when it looks like a hippo has just got out. (Kidding, it’s just a bit brown).
Don’t let my moaning put you off, it is a fab place and hopefully we will be back soon.

Ty Newyedd is a beautifully restored cottage with wonderful views in a secluded setting. No WiFi, just a perfect place to relax and unwind. It is warm, cosy and has a charm all of its own.
There are great walks from the cottage, a lovely walk is up Moel Emoel the views from the top are amazing, another is into Bala across the fields. Many thanks to Flora and Richard for all the little extras they provide for their guests.

We’ve just got back from our fourth stay here, so that’s recommendation enough really!!
I just feel happy and relaxed from the minute that I set eyes on the place.
I love the peace, views and only having cows as neighbours!
The only fly in the ointment is that everyone else obviously has the same idea, because it’s getting increasingly difficult to get in now, it’s always booked up! Obviously I am pleased that it’s doing so well, but, selfishly, not if it means that we can’t return as often as we’d like!!!

We have just returned from a long weekend staying in Ty-Newydd. The compact but delightful dwelling has been beautifully restored. We did not experience any issues with the cleaning and judging from the many excellent comments in the visitors book, the issues experienced by the previous reviewer were very much the exception. As the cooler evenings draw in the log fire is a must…and may create more dust, but that’s to be expected. The cottage is not on mains water…so the owners leaving bottled water, as well as milk and wine, was much appreciated. I’d advise others to take more water and logs if you don’t want to spend your time shopping, but facilities are only a few minutes away by car. It’s a peaceful spot, no light pollution and very little noise so allowed for a relaxing time. Walks from the door as well as nearby around Bala make for good all round spot.

This is a lovely cottage in a really nice location. The views from the garden were great. However we were disappointed with how clean parts of the cottage were as some areas had obviously been missed that we had to clean ourselves. And the sofa and cushions have seen better days. This is a shame as the cottage decor and facilities are really nice.

The best holiday cottage we’ve stayed in over the last 30 years,Ty Newydd is beautifully finished and equipped, warm and cosy. It feels remote without being too isolated. Hope to return again as there is so much to see and do in the in the area.

For us, Ty-Nywwd was a haven – magnificent oak trees, views across the fields and mountains, lots of birds and a wonderful sense of isolation. The cottage itself was impeccably set up, and we hope very much to return!

A really excellent week was enjoyed by both of us, and would consider visiting again if time and circumstance permitted. If there was a problem it might be attributed to having to adjust to the sound of silence. Our thanks go to Flora and her provision for an enjoyable stay.

Ty Newydd is an absolutely stunning cottage. It is in the middle of nowhere down a long windy road and has breathtaking views!
Great for nearby walks and really lovely and warm with a log-burner and underfloor heating.
Even more gorgeous than in the photos – would go back any time!

Had a wonderful couple of weeks at Ty Newydd!
Its stunning, tranquil location and beautifully appointed interior made for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.
We made the most of the surrounding area to walk, run, cycle, swim in lakes…and visit long lost friends and family.
We certainly hope to be back before too long!

Small but perfectly formed ! All done to a high standard, we loved this cottage.
If peace and quiet is your bag, this is the place for you. We totally chilled out and greatly enjoyed our escape from normal life.
A big bonus is the flexibility of the owners, enabling customers to have short breaks, and start their holidays on the days that suit them, so many places now are only Saturday to Saturday, and minimum of a week, which just doesn’t suit most people. I realise this is a new venture, but I really hope this flexibility lasts!?
We can’t wait to return, will probably re book for a couple of weeks time, it was that great!
