What a lovely property. Great location for starters. The views from the bedroom and living room across the estuary are beautiful. The weather didn't get the memo for our stay but Ty Isaf made up for it. Warm, cosy yet extremely spacious, we loved our 3 night stay. The owners were lovely and have clearly spent a lot of time and effort turning this once Victorian villa into a beautiful holiday let. Most definitely be returning. Thank you, Alison and Bryan

Although the house is lovely with excellent views we found the location and parking difficult , we are both 75+ and found the steps leading up to the house and then the stairs inside a bit to much for us and also the parking a bit hit and miss.. And the hill into town a bit to far. We saw the bus stops which run every hour both up and down.. The house had everything we needed, it was warm and beds comfortable, but it lacked a few pictures on the walls, and other bits and pieces to make it homely, and the front door needs attention, the rain came into the house, floor and carpet wet, but must admit we were there when storm Amy passed through. Barmouth is our favourite resort and we will be back , and we did enjoy our time there but will have to make sure that we are further into town more suited for our needs.

A very clean upside down property with fantastic views across the estuary.Parking was a little difficult during busy periods but there was generally a space in the evenings.Lovely clean beach with a great 50 minute walk across the bridge to Fairbourne.Would have been nice to have had some drawers in the bedroom, hooks for wet towels and a few pictures. (It was a little bare!)Overall a lovely stay. Thank you
