This pretty two bedroom holiday cottage in Dyffryn Ardudwy is set in an idyllic and peaceful village location walking distance from a beautiful sandy beach. And with the mountains of Snowdonia behind you and two pubs within walking distance the location of this charming cottage couldn’t be better.
As you enter this typical two up two down stone country cottage the ground floor is split into a kitchen diner on your right and a spacious lounge on your left. The kitchen includes all the facilities you would expect including a dishwasher, large fridge freezer and washing machine. Pastel painted fitted units are topped with a rich solid wood worktop. This is mirrored by the reclaimed dining table with it’s newly polished oak top and matching hand made bench seat.
A natural slate floor, gently warmed by underfloor heating, continues through into the lounge. The emphasis on natural materials continues with an exposed stone inglenook with log burner. The large flat screen smart TV is a welcome nod to modern conveniences.
Upstairs we have one double and one twin room. The double room is surprisingly spacious for a country cottage. High vaulted ceilings helping to add to the sense of space. Adjacent dormer windows look out over farm fields and the mountains to the rear of the house and a beautiful church to the front. The twin room on the other side of the cottage is a little smaller but nicely furnished with a dark wood chest of drawers and matching beds. Small details like the ledge and brace doors, white washed stone wall and slate window sills accentuate the cozyness of the bedrooms
The adjoining bathroom has a large corner shower, wc and washbasin.

Location
The large and fully enclosed back garden backs onto farm fields to the rear of the cottage. Large mature shrubs shield guests from the quiet narrow country lane that winds its way through this part of the village. The lane is a favourite route for dog walkers who are always ready with a friendly hello and a bit of local gossip or information when quizzed.
There are two pubs in the village as well as a post office, caffe, well stocked grocery shop and award winning butchers. A short 10 minute drive south will bring you to the traditional and ever popular seaside town of Barmouth. 10 minutes to the North is the picturesque castle town of Harlech. Both towns play host to numerous holidaymakers during the summer months with their restaurants and bars.
Snowdonia is fast becoming the mecca for adventure activities. Everything from gorge walking to mountain biking to zip lining can be enjoyed in this part of North Wales. These new adventure sports are naturally, a great compliment to our traditional pastimes such as golf, hill walking and lazy afternoons on the beach.

We loved the cottage and the dogs had a fabulous time. The heating was more than adequate and we were extremely comfortable. Gorgeous fruit cake in the welcome hamper which was all very much appreciated. A lovely walk to the beach which took 20 minutes (gentle stroll) and then the dogs tired themselves out in the dunes. We’ll hopefully book to go again soon

The cottage overall was as described, the village quiet and central for exploring both north and south although Barmouth was disappointing. The local beach was extensive and great for our dog who enjoyed the space to both run and explore. The cottage photos did however give a look of more generous proportions that there actually was, the bedrooms were large and comfortable, the lounge smaller than expected and possibly because of the time of year quite dark. There were a couple of negatives, the starter pack for the log fire was missing, the kitchen could do with some new glasses and plates, again this was possibly a result of a long occupancy rate over the summer but we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitchen area around the cooker, the worktops were greasy and had not been leaned as were the storage shelves above. Despite these small niggles we would return again.
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location! Ben was very helpful, we even got to sample the fruit from the trees in the garden, delicious . Good weather was a bonus ! We wouldn’t hesitate in booking again x
just returned from a wonderful week all you need and more in this beautiful sweet peaceful cottage close to a great beach and some excellent walks and excellent visitor attractions, highly recommended
I had a great week at Tyn-Llan cottage with my Springer spaniel in late February.
I found the heating very efficient and had to turn it down, I didn’t need to use the wood burning fire. It was very cosy during some interesting winter weather.
I needed the owners assistance once and “Ben” immediately provided the advice I needed.
The WiFi was very good, the walls of the cottage are very thick which probably explains the lack of mobile phone reception unless your standing upstairs by the landing window.
I used the large Tesco at Porthmadog to stock up and the local supermarket/butchers for additional supplies.
I would definitely return.
just returned from a brilliant week in this cottage, beautiful location excellent cottage all you need and more highly recommended near beaches and close to many attractions like talyllynn steam trains harlech castle, great walks close by like the precipice walk and the torrent walk
3 of us had a great week away in this lovely cottage. A wonderful quiet location with hills views from the back door. The butchers in the village spa shop is a must, also use the train which is just a few minutes walk away. Would definitely go again and probably take our dog next time!
Lovely cottage in a great location and the enclosed garden was perfect for our 2 dogs.
We didn’t want to come home!
A tranquil cottage with a very comfortable bed and sofas and in a lovely setting. Having a local railway station was a bonus as we didn’t have to drive everywhere and could drink! This is particularly helpful as there is now only one local pub which unfortunately doesn’t do food.
It’s a great area for wildlife, saw our first ever badger on a walk down the lane, bats flying around the disused church and a variety of garden birds. Even spotted a Red Kite on one occasion flying high above!
Thank you Ben for staying in touch.
It was a lovely cottage.It certainly felt like home for our weeks stay.
We felt very comfortable from the moment we stepped inside. Thank you for the welcome package. It was much appreciated. We would definitely recommend it as a place to stay to go exploring North Wales.
Delightful cottage in a great location. We couldn’t have wished for better. We braved the storms and winds to go walking on the beach and exploring some of the areas places of historic interest. It was such a welcome pleasure to go back to a warm,cozy cottage. Our dog loved it too ! We’re already planning our next stay there.
Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Secure garden for dogs. In spite of the torrential rain and gale force winds we took daily walks on the beach and got very cold and wet. It was a joy to go back to the warm cozy cottage.
We certainly hope to visit again next year.
Just had 7 days at this lovely cottage.everything we wanted and more. The owner Ben was abroad but kept in touch in case we needed anything, but everything went perfectly. Great cottage great location. Will definitely be back. Thank you. Mike and Jane.
Wonderful cottage in great location.
Greeted by a super welcome pack.
Clean, fresh & bright.
Super cosy & comfortable, we had everything we needed as very well equipped.
Garden safe & secure for our beloved Chilli dog.
Great 20 min quiet stroll to our favourite beach.
Cottage in great location for exploring mountains and beaches.
Simply put, a home from home that we thoroughly enjoyed !
We enjoyed a wonderful week at the cottage. My wife and I loved the tranquility of the cottage in the lane. It was a joy to wake to sunny mornings and the views over the fields, the whistle of the nearby branch line and the shadows of the churchyard opposite – which is really interesting – particularly the benefactor boards in the porch. The nearby beaches are terrific; broad, sandy and uncrowded. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the cottage was well-placed for excursions into the Llyn Peninsula, Snowdonia and the busy harbour town of Porthmadog. We enjoyed Harlech, Criccieth and Abersoch particularly. One of the best holiday cottages we’ve taken. Thanks Ben.

We have just returned home having spent a great week in Tyn-Llyn a lovely cottage in an excellent location.
Our two energetic Springer Spaniels loved the local dunes and beaches and the good size cottage garden which was safe and secure.
Lovely cottage, very quiet and peaceful with perfect garden for chilling. As weather was hot, cottage was cool. Good location and butcher shop recommended
We have just spent a very relaxing week in this beautiful cottage. The cottage was cosy and very inviting and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. Our dog Mia had exclusive use of the rug in front of the log burner all week. Ben greeted us with lovely goodies on arrival including wine, kettle chips & Welsh Cakes etc and made us feel very welcome. The garden was safe and secure for both our black Labrador and daughter to play in and explore. Our daughter particularly enjoyed cleaning and sorting her shells and arranging them on the patio wall out the back. The 20 minute walk to the beach was a pleasant one and safe as it uses a no-through road for the majority of the walk. There is a great children’s play area around the corner and the cottage is a short walk to the local post office and spar (with a great butchers located inside). We used the cottage as a base to explore the area, travelling north and south along the coast road visiting the little villages and towns. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would love to visit again soon!
Lovely cottage in peaceful setting. Within walking distance of beach and pub. Safe garden for our dogs.Will definitely be coming back. Sue,Bob,Dilan and Olly
This is the second time we have stayed in the same village. Lovely area. The house was very pleasant. Great access to the beach(s).
Great spot for anyone who enjoys walking.
Fantastic stay at Tyn-Llan this week. Cosy, well-equipped, characterful & comfortable cottage. Husband, dog & I enjoyed a peaceful week – nice walks on the beach / in the mountains during the day, followed by pub dinners & curling up in front of the woodburner.
We took the Welsh Highland Railway to Beddgelert for a beautiful day out and walked across Barmouth Bridge for stunning views.
Despite the Beast from the East’ & Storm Emma – we were warm & comfy in the cottage & enjoyed our week. Ben, the owner, was available via text/phone when we needed him & was extremely helpful, thank you very much!
Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful cottage in an ideal spot. Loved looking out towards the mountains at the back and such a pretty church at the front. Perfect setting for a quiet family holiday. Loved making the fire and the dog enjoyed the underfloor heating! Lovely and quiet, but shops and pubs easily accessible. The beach and sand dunes at the end of the road are fabulous, our dog did not want to leave. Mind you, neither did we. Thanks to Louise and Ben for ensuring we had a lovely stay. Hoping to return soon.
2nd time holidaying here. Love the cottage. Had trouble with boiler when first arrived but Ben the owner got it sorted and fixed within an hour!! Brilliant week so peaceful and relaxing. Will be back x
Cottage is an absolute gem. Beautifully renovated in a lovely peaceful location. Loved it. Happy to find reasonable dog friendly eating places nearby notably The Last Inn and Davy Jones Locker in Barmouth, although lots of the cafes and shops seem to welcome dogs, and The Victoria Inn in Llanbedr. The beach is also fab for walks. We really didn’t want to leave.
Absolute gem of a cottage, we loved it! Beautifully renovated and in a lovely peaceful location. We really didn’t want to leave. Also happy to find some reasonable, dog-friendly eateries nearby, notably The Last Inn and Davy Jones Locker in Barmouth and The Victoria Inn in Llanbedr although lots of the cafes in Barmouth welcomed dogs and the local beach was fab for walks. The only slight negative was the sofas are rather past their prime with a couple of the seats collapsed and a bit uncomfortable, otherwise perfect.
We had a fantastic time, the cottage was absolutely stunning, it was spotlessly clean , it was and had everything you could possibly want while on holiday, a beautiful little gem of a place and it’s location is great too, especially if you have kids, my two are aged 7 & 9 and they loved that the village (via the park) was easy to walk to and the pub too, which also has a fab play area, they also coped well with the walk to the beach to so all in all its a beautiful cottage and a great location, and thank you Dioni for your service, just brilliant from start to finish
Just returned from a lovely week away with family at the cottage. Lovely place to stay, as long as you don’t mind spiders! Loved it, would definitely stay again.
Hi Nicola, glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for taking the time to post a comment. Sorry about the spiders, I do try and re-home them but they seem to like it there! I will try again..!
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. The kitchen was particularly lovely and the shower was excellent. The children had lots of fun in the garden. We made use of the bbq and Pinic bench. The cottage is situated on a lovely quiet road and you can walk to a park. There is a pub with excellent beer garden for the children 5 minutes away. Beaches are close by and there are lots of day trips a short car journey away. The only thing missing for me was a stair gate, as the stairs were steep for a 2 year old. Would highly recommend staying here.
Hi Kate, thanks for your considered feedback, I’m really glad you had a nice stay. I will certainly look at getting a stair gate as this is something I thought would be useful for families too. Best wishes and welcome back anytime, Ben
Thank you to Ben and Dioni for the stay in one of the most lovely cottages we have used so far. Perfect for the dogs, local shops and of course the fabulous beach. We had a couple of problems but Ben was brilliant and sorted them for us. A really special place and owner – Thank you
Lovely cottage ,great location,very comfortable. Shower was the best . Garden was so peaceful and great for the dogs.
Would love to return.
We have just returned from a week’s stay at Tyn-Llan and have had an absolutely fabulous stay and would certainly book this cottage again. However, although the walk to the beach was an easy one, getting onto the beach via the sand dunes was a real pull on the legs, it was really soft sand, and quite a steep climb – the dogs did it with ease but I struggled.
The cottage was lovely and once we fathomed out the heating system it was cosy and warm – the extra heating by way of the oil filled radiator down stairs was put to good use in the evenings and was an added bonus.
The bedrooms were spacious and more than adequate, except to say there wasn’t a wardrobe in the main bedroom and we were a bit confused by the futon taking up the ideal space for a wardrobe or at least a hanging rail. There was a rail in the second bedroom but no coat hangers.
We must say straightaway the good points of this cottage outweigh any negative points and it only remains to thank Ben for allowing us to use his cottage.
We would recommend the local Gwesty Cadwgan Hotel for lovely home-cooked food a few minutes walk down the lane and the butchers situated inside the very well stocked Spar in the village.
Had a lovely time. Very comfortable and homely – lovely large bedrooms, nice quiet and tranquil location and convenient to local amenities. Perfect base to visit Barmouth and other beaches with the dog. Only thing missing was a nice place to sit outside.
Would definitely stay again
Lovely stay, great location, nice private garden. I would defiantly go again. My only request would be that there wasn’t anywhere to hang clothes up a few coat hangers would have been useful. But beautiful any lovely cottage with Dioni.
Beautiful cottage in very quiet and tranquil setting. Very well equipped with everything we needed for a 5 night stay and spotlessly clean. Beach is stunning and less than 10 mins walk and the shop is handy with an excellent butchers which we used a lot. Happy to highly recommend the place and was nice to get a text message from Ben the owner on arrival just checking our comfort and making sure we were happy; he was also more than happy to suggest days out & activities when the weather wasn’t too good….thanks Ben. All in all a perfect week in a place we hope to be able to come back to some day soon.
We really enjoyed our stay, such a clean, cosy and welcoming cottage. Would love to stay again.
Thank you.
This is a really excellent property in a delightful location and we really enjoyed our short break and we would certainly book again.
An Excellent welsh cottage in the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy in a secluded area that is very well presented and fitted out. The cottage is very comfortable with good off road parking and is an ideal base for touring the area. The attached garden is well kept and is secure for children and pets. We had a very enjoyable stay in this cottage. A really excellent and delightful cottage
Had a great break with the family and dogs. Beautiful cottage in a scenic location. We walked to the beach everyday dogs n kids loved it. Great location 2min walk to train station we used this regularly to visit Barmouth.
Only downside no mobile signal and the beautiful shower could do with a good dose of mould n mildew.
We would look to return. Lovely few days.
Lovely cosy cottage with comfy beds and sofas. Really peaceful and great location, village and beach close by. Having small children a few plastic plates / cups would have been great, but otherwise a well equipped cottage.
Very cosy cottage ideally located for the beach. Had a great week which was helped by lovely weather.
A lovely cottage to use as a base to visit the beach and surrounding countryside.
The welsh cakes and wine left were lovely but the lack of toilet roll and no washing up liquid or cloths was an issue when we first arrived.
Lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped. Double bedroom is particularly large and comfortable. Loads to do and see in the area and beach is fantastic.
Dear Liz, thank you very much for your kind comments, I am glad you enjoyed the cottage. Apologies for the oven, it’s one that needs the clock to be set to work and I have had the same problem myself. There should be instructions in the cupboard to the right of the range in the kitchen. I will try and make the easier to find for future guests. Hope to see you again, Ben
We loved the cottage, it was so comfortable and well appointed, and thank you so much for the welcome hamper, such a nice touch. However, I had a little trouble operating the oven, some instructions would have been very useful. We would love to come back some time.
Absolutely beautiful cottage. We had the hottest week of the year, the only thing that spoilt it for us, was the old plastic outdoor table and 3 plastic chairs. Also a wobbly make shift bench with a broken whirly bird behind it.
We would have loved to have eaten out every night in the garden but the lack of an outside eating patio set prevented this.
I spent the week with next doors garden furniture envy. Such a shame because apart from that it’s the best cottage we’ve ever stayed in. Did find the lack of a wardrobe slightly strange to!
Otherwise the most perfect, peaceful cottage.
Lovely private cottage and great location. If you like walking and hate driving you can park up and forget your car for the week. Beaches are just super. Train stop close. Met owner – great guy. Double bed is lush .
We enjoyed our stay at cottage, it has everything you could need, plus lovely views, will definitely go again.
Lovely Cottage, private and peaceful, everything you need, would go again.
Perfect place for a tranquil break. Felt like home from home, minus the usual hustle and bustle. Sad to leave.
Lovely quiet spot. Great for hills and sea. Sweet cottage, as described. We had a lovely time there and would definitely go again.
