Its location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area, and the property is equipped with amenities that cater to large groups. Guests have enjoyed the cosy log burners, games room, and the well-appointed kitchen. Some guests mentioned water pressure issues and minor maintenance needs, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience.

The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-kept upon arrival. There are no significant complaints regarding cleanliness, indicating that the property is maintained to a good standard.

The cottage's location is frequently praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, including beaches and towns. Its setting in the Welsh countryside is appreciated for both its beauty and convenience.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the living spaces warm and inviting. The spaciousness of the property contributes to the comfort level, although some guests mention low doorways and the need for coordination due to water pressure issues.

The property is well-equipped with a games room, log burners, and a large kitchen. However, there are several mentions of low water pressure affecting showers and baths, and some minor repairs are suggested. The presence of a caretaker and prompt responses to issues are noted positively.

While some guests mention a welcome bottle of wine, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such gestures are not guaranteed.

About this property

This delightful holiday cottage is the perfect spot to relax and unwind on the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales. With 18th century beams still in tact this cottage oozes character throughout. We can just imagine being around the dining room table with all the family and the woodburning stove in the background.

There is plenty of garden to enjoy at Tyddyn Morthwyl and watch the family play whilst sipping a hot cuppa on the veranda.

You are a short drive to plenty of fantastic villages including; Criccieth with fabulous beach, castle and abundance of restaurants and cafes. Drive a little further and you’ll be in Porthmadog hopping onto the Welsh Highland Railway. A little further again and you arrive at the enchanting Italian village of Portmeirion. The Snowdonia national park is on your doorstep and there is a huge amount of beaches to explore on the Llyn Peninsula and beyond.

A lovely light sitting room offers you a flat screen TV with free-view, DVD and wonderful wood burning stove to keep you warm in the winter.

There is a well equipped farmhouse kitchen with dining table & chairs, gas range cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and fridge freezer.

A wonderful dining room with original beams, spectacular table and chairs with an enormous inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. I can picture the port being passed round already!

Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.

    Lots of things can be done to improve future stays, please keep reading….. Positives - huge garden for our dogs; comfy beds; washing machine, tumble and dishwasher; doors to the garden from 3 different rooms; sun room / games room was great for the kids (some games and jigsaws in the cupboard too); washing line; dog bowls in the utility room; useful to read previous reviews, so we knew about low water pressure and the advice to use 1 shower at a time; large drive with plenty of space for multiple vehicles. Negatives - downstairs shower light is on a timer, requires shower door to open (mid shower!) to alert the sensor; upstairs bathroom floor is quite water damaged; there are only 8 forks in the kitchen, need many more; notices in the building and the website still refer to Covid conditions (we arrived to find there WAS an oven glove, and table tennis bats etc) so these notices really need updating; most of the seating in the kitchen and dining room is on wooden chairs / benches, with no cushion seats; checkin 6pm and checkout 9.30am felt harsh, considering a departure checklist included us to take all bedding off the beds, which felt a bit like we were doing some of the housekeeping; 2 linen bags for all the bedding and towels were not enough; bins and recycling are on the neighbouring campsite, except for glass. There was a box outside the back door, but no instructions on what to do when it’s full / when the glass collection is etc.

    Kitchen and utility rooms very good indeed. Five bedrooms - all used! Enough rooms downstairs for family members to hide away to read. Peaceful garden with well appointed furniture. Nearby Criccieth is a delight, as was Portmeirion and Caernarvon. Supermarkets not far away in Portmadog. Only downside was having to leave at 9.30 am., which seemed rather early.

  • Sylvia

    Lots of room for our party of 6 adults, 3 children and the dogs. Great space in the garden for the children to run and play! Comfortable beds. Water pressure not great, we found just using one shower at a time worked best. Considering the property holds 9 guests, more cutlery and plates etc. would have been helpful. The only real issue for us was the late check in time, yes we did know this when we booked the cottage, so maybe that's on us. It probably wouldn't stop us from booking again as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
