About this property

Romantic and cosy cottage, countryside views, near to the beach and mountains

Ty Golchi is our most recent project and was completed in June 2019. Ty Golchi translates to 'Wash House' in English. Sure enough this Grade ll cottage started it's humble beginnings in the 1750's as the wash house to Ty'n Llan which is the parish house of Llanfair.

Ty Golchi has been completely renovated this year and has been transformed into a cosy and romantic one bedroom property. the lounge is open plan to the kitchen and dining area. There is a separate bedroom with a lovely en suite shower room. The cottage holds a wealth of charm, to include natural stone, a welsh oak 'A' frame beam and three foot thick walls. The refurbishment has been completed with modern fittings, mixing old and new, the kitchen is well fitted with everything that you will need for a self catering holiday and the bathroom has a fully tiled double shower with high rain shower and separate hand held shower head. All of the furniture is new, and the soft furnishings have been sourced to add a touch of luxury and colour.

North Wales' coast and mountains are just two of its most valuable assets, and you can enjoy both of them from this charming cottage.
Sitting within the grounds of the owners' own home, it's a fantastic holiday home for a couple looking for a relaxing and romantic, peaceful holiday.
Lovingly and sympathetically renovated to a high standard, the cottage is beautifully maintained and well presented with great attention to detail and original features.
This is the perfect place to sit back, let your shoulders drop and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this stunning place.

Outstanding!

There was a slight hiccup during check-in which was dealt with in the most amazing way. The communication with the owner was brilliant. The property is located in such a beautiful part of the world and provides ample opportunity to explore. The cottage itself was clean, cozy and was just what we needed to really relax. We would highly recommend this outstanding property.

Relaxing and cosy, home from home 5*

Absolutely beautiful cottage! Peaceful and cosy, with stunning views. The cottage host Gary lives on the grounds but you would never know anyone was there, it felt lovely and private, no noise at all apart from the birds singing in the large garden space which was so nice to walk around with my coffe in the morning. The cottage was spottless and had everything we needed, we will definitly be booking with Gary in the future. .

A Real Home from Home

Ty Golchi is absolutely perfect. It's finished and furnished to such a high standard, everything there really has been thoughtfully curated. Its a perfect base for exploring and the log fire really does make it the perfect relaxing night in. Will definitely be back.

Long weekend in a cosy cottage

We loved our short stay in Ty Golchi. Everything in the cottage is such good quality and the space has been maximised. It was so warm in there even without the log burner. It was lovely to sit in front of the fire in the evening after being out for long walks along the beach. We didn’t have to use our car as the cottage is so well placed for visiting tourist attractions. We walked to the local beach and also to Harlech. We enjoyed the welcome pack with local produce.

Cosy stay

Beautifully set out and accessible too, which was important for us as a first trip away after my partner suffered a stroke. The host was available to answer questions and also allowed us to leave at our leisure which made such a difference when showering/dressing needs extra time. Garden was a beautiful spot for breakfast in the November sun.

Short break in Wales

The property was very well presented with excellent facilities. Ideal for our short walking holiday and re-visiting the local areas. Very convenient for the beach, mountains and local towns. Gary was on hand to welcome us to the cottage but not intrusive. Definitely recommended.

Best place to stay

We stayed at this amazing cottage, and it was one of the best places we've ever stayed at. The pictures don't do it justice. The cottage was so cosy with a cute log burner. It had everything we needed. A home away from home. To top it off, the owner, Gary was an amazing host always just a phonecall away. Overall, a beautiful, clean and pleasant place to stay and we will definitely be returning.
