  Snook’s Cottage Musty/dank smell throughout property especially in bedroom and inside kitchen cupboards.

  Dusty throughout and especially dirty in corners. Cobwebs. Needs a good deep clean / vacuum. No vacuum available to do that. Dirty under furniture, under the bed, under the couch, on the clothes rail that was under the bed. Clumps of hair and dirt. Fireplace in lounge hadn’t been cleaned. Bedroom Musty especially around Fireplace. Bedroom drawer inserts sagging. No wardrobe, just a clothes rail. Skylight above bed - no black out so we were awake at 6.30am. Lounge area Fleece on couch still had dog hair over it. Wifi good and Netflix / smart tv mostly working well. A few times we had to wait a few seconds for buffering. Bathroom No bath mat Bathroom tap should be a mixer as hot water for hot tap is too hot. No toilet roll holder. Kitchen No freezer space for food. Tap a little too short overhanging sink making washing dishes awkward. No egg cups No coffee making facilities. Random Glasses and crockery could have done with a good dishwash. Again musty smelling. Teapot badly stained. Musty smell from all kitchen cupboards. Cupboard above cooker / hob steam damaged and beginning to sag. Electrical socket directly above the hob. This doesn’t conform to H&S recommendations. Cupboard under sink - evidence of mice. They are through our plastic containers of dog food. No recycling. And told not to recycle for the private bin collection. This is archaic. Outside Bench outside - damaged/broken. Outside table uncared for / damp, rotting. Uncleanable so couldn’t use it for eating food. Outbuildings in garden crumbling / piles of slates. Not appealing and in dangerous for children. Overall All a bit tired, unloved, unkempt and uncared for. A real shame for a cottage with such potential. This cottage could be beautiful.

  I’ve 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 being 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 & I’d be just fine in my little hatchback, and indeed I was. I’d certainly recommend it, I’ve felt very lucky to be able to stay there and i hope to make many more visits.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming little stone cottage in Wales, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Nestled by a gentle, flowing river, the property exudes peace and tranquillity. The sound of the water combined with the idyllic countryside setting makes this cottage a true haven for anyone seeking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Inside, the cosy fireplace was a highlight—perfect for curling up with a book or a glass of wine after a day of exploring. The rustic charm of the cottage is complemented by all the modern amenities you could need, ensuring a comfortable and seamless stay. Its location is ideal: close enough to a delightful small town for convenience, yet far enough to feel secluded and private. Barmouth, just a short drive away, was a fantastic spot for a day out. With its sandy beaches and quaint shops, it added a lovely dimension to our getaway. Finally, the host deserves special mention. Incredibly friendly and responsive, they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. From detailed local recommendations to prompt replies to our questions, they made the stay even more memorable. If you're looking for a serene retreat in Wales with plenty of character and charm, this stone cottage is the perfect choice. Can't wait to return!

  We enjoyed our stay at snooks cottage.

  It was a lovely traditional Welsh cottage with some original features we we loved. Such as the open fires and tiles flooring open stone work on the walls. The beds were warm and comfy with the addition of the electric blankets which were fab! The fire in the bedroom was just so snug. Our dogs loved it. The garden was perfect for our two pugs although it’s not properly enclosed this wasn’t to much of an issue for our dogs. The only issue I really had , was the parking which was a bit tricky - just because the neighbours cars park so close to the top of the lane that’s it’s hard to reverse down or out. But we did so alls well that ends well! The location was great easy to access other areas in wales , we visited the slate mining village and had a great walk around the most stunning lake there! The views are outstanding and we loved the little gift shops. The ladies who worked there were friendly and helpful. Lastly a big thank you to Karen who kindly went out of her way to find our teddy which we forgot - Karen emailed me to let me know he was found and emailed again to let me know he had been posted safely back to us. If you like charm and original character properties with open fires then this is Perfect for you. Also the addition of fuel provided enough for our stay was most welcome.

  The cottage is absolutely lovely. We are fussy and we would most definitely return. Full of character and charm. Everything you need is there including all of the basic kitchen equipment. Do look in all of the kitchen cupboards and drawers upon arrival. There are pan scrubbers, washing up liquid, washing tablets and dishwasher tablets tea towels, oven mits and pegs etc (saves packing space). The location is quiet and peaceful. The beach is a straight walk through the caravan site and it is flat. The walk took us ten minutes and we think half a mile. The beach is dog friendly. The owners are helpful and approachable - I have some issues that require me to make contact before arrival and they were extremely accommodating. Onsite restaurant allows dogs out on the balcony which has a roof and heaters. If you are over 6 foot tall and have looked at the photos dont worry about the bedroom ceilings. There is only one beam at the top of the stars that you may have to duck just a little. Both bedrooms would be fine if you slept on the right side of the bed. My husband had no issues. We would highly recommend the cottage and the location, which is about 3/12 miles from Barmouth and 7 from Harlech.
