The size was amazing. The sunsets are as beautiful as the picture shown. Would highly recommend. Owner was super helpful with any requests we had. Having the farm shop and bar so close was very convenient. Loved our week away.

The pans were not large enough for size of the group (there were 8 of us). The wine glasses were a throw back to the 1970's, there were no large tumblers nor champagne flutes. The plastic glasses for outside had cracks in them. It would of been nice to have seat cushions on the conversatory chairs. We could not get part of the oven to work and there were no instruction manuals for any of the appliances. Disappointing that there was nothing in way of a welcome pack which is very surprising! These points did not spoil a great weekend but are the difference that would make the property excellent and would not cost a lot to rectify.

We spent a week a Tan Y Fedwen with extended family with ages ranging from 9 -79yrs. The property is well equipped with a full kitchen that allows you to cater for large parties like ours easily. The grounds are great giving the youngest in our party the space to run around, and play. The hot tub was a hit with us all although the oldest in our party did find accessing it a bit challenging. A pathway on the property leads you down to the local beach which is very rocky but nevertheless a lovely place to sit and take in some sea air. Within the local area things to do are limited but there's plenty if you venture just a little further away with Tywyn & Barmouth a short drive or train drive away. All in all we booked this holiday as a relaxing family break and this is exactly what we got - would definitely consider returning in the future.
