It's a lovely cottage.. We have just come back.booked for next year. hot tub great. Lovely and quiet.roll on next year.

Mrs Pritchett, September 2020

August 2020

We have just returned from our 5th year running at this beautiful home from home, even the bad weather didn’t spoil our week as we were warm and cosy thanks to the wood burner.. This property is comfortable, very well maintained and there was a lovely welcome box waiting for us with all the essentials needed for the current COVID requirements plus tea,coffee,sugar and biscuits. The Ffestiniog railway and Llama trekking were enjoyed by all, along with crabbing at low tide and long beach walks with the dogs. The hot tub got plenty of use despite the weather and we are looking forward to returning again next year.

Mrs Holyman, August 2020

This is a beautiful cottage in a location that's perfect for Snowdonia, the 3 Zip World sites, Porthmadog (steam trains), Port Merion and Caernarfon Castle.. The beach is about 10 mins walk, or 15 mins to an even better, secluded sandy cove. The owners have been very thoughtful in what is provided - a special welcome pack included tea, coffee, biscuits and various things to make sure we felt confident about everything being covid-free. In addition, the cottage had been fogged, then cleaned and a set of crockery and cutlery sterilised in the dishwasher. All this felt very reassuring, without being obtrusive. Although local cafes etc were open for take-aways, slots had to be booked well in advance, so we really appreciated the kitchen, which was very fully-equipped for self catering. We enjoyed the garden, with its lovely views and hot tub, and the spacious cottage gave our teenage children the space (and wi-fi!) they needed for down-time. This is an ideal cottage for a relaxing stay, with easy access to local attractions.

Mr Roberts

The cottage was excellent very clean and very well appointed, the kitchen was excellent and supplied with everything you needed the only disappointment was the beds they were so uncomfortable that it was impossible to get a good nights sleep.. Put new mattresses on the beds and this would be a 5 star cottage

Mrs Woodhead-coates

January 2018

A wonderful holiday cottage that rises above expectations.. We knew it was of a high standard from the photographs provided, but the small touches and high finish of the interior is exceptional. The owners have really created a home from home, with everything needed to enjoy a first class stay. A lovely touch, we thought, was providing the wood for the log burners free of charge, along with dishwasher tabs, hand soap etc.. A rare generosity in this day and age, and we were incredibly grateful indeed. So nice not to have to rush out to buy small items you take for granted. The hot tub is a delight. impeccably maintained and a joy to use. A ten minute walk to Black Rock Sands, made this cottage a delight in terms of peace and luxury combined. Well done to the owners and Sykes Holidays, for getting this cottage just right.

It’s a gem of a place, so much so we booked again! ! So well equipped!

We had a fantastic week in the house which is absolutely brilliant and everything we wanted.. The house is very well equipped and very well looked after. Brilliant hot tub and brilliant stargazing. Lovely walks on the beach and the coastal path fantastically scenic. A local shop for papers and milk 3 mins away. Porthmadog 10 mins away for any big shops needed and the steam train running a very scenic route which was ideal. A massive thankyou too the owners for a brilliant house in a perfect location.

Mrs Hosking

October 2017

We had a lovely week in T'yr Ysgol - it was a short walk to the fantastic beach and just a short drive into town.. The hot tub was fantastic and we went in it rain and shine, night and day. The house was comfortable and like home from home.

This was a beautiful property in an excellent location. A lot of thought has gone into this lovely home from home. There was everything you could ever need provided. It has a fantastic kitchen diner, lovely comfy sofas and beds, a beautiful conservatory a modern clean bathroom and a wet room. The garden was secure for dogs and downstairs floors were easy to keep clean of sandy paws. The attention to detail was excellent and the guest information provided was very helpful. We could happily live there for ever.

Mrs Hansen

The cottage is a real home from home in beautiful surroundings the hot tub is a bit of extra luxury we all enjoyed. The garden is secluded secure, great for our dogs. It appears semi detached but your only neighbour is the village hall the golf course! A great location for sightseeing enjoying a huge number of North Wales/Snowdonia attractions. We'll definitely be coming again!

A nice home to come back to after a day of roaming around the countryside, the grandchildren loved the hot tub. The garden was very secure to let the dogs just run about. The owners had thought of everything to stock the house for the week.

We stayed at the Ty'r Y Shol from the 17th to 24th April and were fortunate enough to have seven days of absolutely gorgeous sunny weather to allow us to enjoy the Welsh coast and countryside. To be quite honest we couldn’t have been happier staying in the holiday home and couldn’t have found anything better. The cottage is exceptional and has everything you could want and more. It has all the mod cons, a wonderful conservatory to sit and have the early morning cup of tea, watching the different varieties of birds in the garden, if you’re lucky the woodpecker will pay you a visit and this is something you can’t quite believe. The kitchen has everything you need and provides a very nice setting to have your evening meals. We planned to eat out a lot but because the cottage was so lovely, we ate in nearly every evening. There is a wood burning stove in the lounge that would be fantastic to make up on a cold evening. The cottage is situated next to a golf course and about a ten minute walk to the beach. There is a SPAR shop within two minutes walk and a fish and chip shop next door to that. Porthmadog is a 5 minute drive away and has local shops as well as a Tesco, Aldi and Lidl. You have to make the most of the cottage’s location and explore the coast and villages. Criccieth has a host of lovely restaurants and Abersoch was my personal favourite where we saw Bottle Nosed Dolphins playing in the bay. The Wales Coastal Path is a must, with walks along the sand and on the cliffs, popping in and out of bays and towns along the way. Snowdon was less than 30 minutes away and we made the best of the good weather by walking to the top and back. The local beach is stunning at low tide, with miles of soft golden sand and wonderful green and blue sea. Finally the piece de resistance, the hot tub! After spending the days walking it was simply wonderful to return home to a fantastic hot tub, looking up at the hills, watching the buzzards flying up above and soaking away the aches and pains. In terms of rating the cottage, it is definitely a 10/10. The Hudson’s have done a fantastic job on the accommodation and I cannot think of one thing I would change.

We had a fantastic holiday, Wales was beautiful and the cottage had everything we needed and was a home from home. The guest book was a nice touch and the recommendations book was very useful. Had a wonderful hot tub, fab underfloor heating and it was great to have two showers as there were six of us. The cottage was well kitted out, the best one I have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a few. Will definitely stay here again.

Mrs Blagbrough

A particularly well-equipped and welcoming property-as a family, we were happy to spend time in the house and garden. We were treated like old friends coming to stay-a truly outstanding property! The location is great for young families or adults wanting to explore the fabulous area. I simply cannot find a negative about this whole experience-many thanks to all concerned!

Mrs Goodwin

Liked the closeness to a fabulous beach (10 mins walk maximum) that was dog friendly, the hot tub and that the cottage was dog friendly with a safe enclosed garden for them.

Guest

a fantastic little getaway. Enjoyed everything about the house. It was well thought out and lacked for nothing. A great location, great doggy walking or just relaxing in the garden watching golfers I thoroughly enjoyed my week. The place was so clean and even milk in the fridge which I did appreciate and the hot tub went down very well with the family. Will definitely go again in the future

The overall standard was very high. We have been doing cottage holidays for over 10 years and I would say this had to be the best equipped, with nothing forgotten we have come across. It obviously has been designed by a very artistic person and we loved the seaside theme. The underfloor heating was fantastic, particularly in a morning. The welcome pack was much appreciated, money has been spent on this place and it shows.

The hot tub was a real hit and after a long walk either in the National Park or on the lovely beach; what better way to relax. It was perfect and we will definitely be looking to book again soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay and for sharing this lovely house.

excellent renovated house within easy reach of good beach and short coastal walk to Porthmadog. House very well equipped with every convenience and very comfortable. Warm and inviting with lovely hot tub in back garden with views to hills across the golf course. Conservatory with wet room off. Wood burning stoves and underfloor heating which we didn't actually need but nice to know they were available. And plenty to do round about- 2 different narrow gauge steam trains in Porthmadog alone. close to Snowdonia and Portmeirion , good beaches, castles! We had a wonderful weeks stay and still have lots we didn't do.

Miss Carruthers, November 2013

The house itself is immaculate.. The décor is brilliant, the beds are comfortable, the house is warm and welcoming. Easy to keep clean. Nice views to the rear of the garden, and safe in the gardens for a child to play. Brilliant clean hot tub. Nice wood burning stoves. Underfloor heating. Nice bath and showers. Good information given about how to use things in the house, and good information on the surrounding area. All in all a brilliant holiday, and we were sad to leave.
