Beautiful accommodation, very comfortable throughout. All rooms were spacious, with gorgeous views. Owners left a wonderful 'Welcome Pack' which was gratefully received. They were extremely welcoming and friendly. The beach is just a bit further on from the station and was clean, with fabulous views. Unfortunately, our visit was cut short by a couple of days due to family issues but we had a great time. Used the train station every day, which was just a short stroll from the house, to get to other towns for a wander. Would definitely recommend.

Afonig Loyw was a pleasantly situated base for our Barmouth holiday. There wasn’t a great deal to do in Talybont itself but that didn’t matter, the walk down to the beach with the dog was enough. We had a really lovely holiday and the comfortable accommodation was great to go back to after our days out.

This is a beautiful property with high end fixtures and fittings in an excellent location for visiting the area. .It has lovely spacious bedrooms with extra comfy beds , wonderful outside space with stunning views. There was a very generous welcome pack which was much appreciated. However , as we were 2 separate couples renting this property, we have a few niggles which I will list. It is not suitable for 2 couples, despite having 2 huge bedrooms because of privacy and noise issues. There is no upstairs bedroom door so it is open to the sitting room and guests in the upstairs bedroom couldn’t use the kitchen unless guests In upstairs room were up and about. We were disappointed that there was no shower head over the bath ( as shown in photos on website ) which meant that both couples had to use the shower room. The storage shelves in shower cubicle were extremely rusty rendering them not fit for purpose. . We were surpthat we were unable to use the radiators, particularly in the shower room, hence the towels were always wet. An electric radiator which can be controlled by guests ( as have always been installed in previous rentals ) would be more than useful. We felt that the sitting area needed another arm hair or 2 seat sofa as one of us had to sit on an upright dining chair . We couldn’t converse if 3 people sat in a row on the sofa. Some of the cooking equipment was not completely clean and the frying pan was definitely past its best. The empty cupboard space for food storage was a little small for 2 couples . Also , there was no information pack regarding local amenities , nearest doctors or hospitals etc.
