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. With little light pollution, you can stargaze long into the night, and if you’re lucky, you’ll hear the owls wake up as you wind down. There’s a lot to do around the area. You have the choice of two beaches within walking distance, or just a two minute drive away. Harlech, with its castle, stunning beach and world famous links golf course, Royal St. David, is just over a mile away. The breathtaking Snowdonia National Park is right on your doorstep and the seaside resorts of Barmouth and Criccieth are also within easy reach. There’s also Porthmadog, where you can hop onto the Ffestiniog railway, sit back, and enjoy the stunning scenery and be taken back in time as the world famous steam train chugs its way through the mountains. Portmeirion is also nearby, with its magical Italianate village overlooking the white sandy beaches of the Dwyryd Estuary.

Perfect cottage for a couple. Cosy, compact beautifully decorated & immaculately clean. Hosts couldn’t be more helpful. Fantastic area with stunning scenery, great beaches & places to see. Good recommendations for restaurants etc. The best we’ve stayed at for a while. Can’t recommend the area and the cottage highly enough !!!
Gorgeous little gem of a cottage. Spotlessly clean, super cosy and really well kitted out. We love to cook and there was everything we could have ever needed in the kitchen. Comfy bed, fluffy towels, and great to see all the environmentally friendly touches. We'd happily book here again and for longer than 2 nights.
Gorgeous little cottage in perfect location. Super comfy bed, good shower, very clean, lovely and warm. Friendly and helpful host. Met up with old friends, thoroughly enjoyed our break.
Lovely cottage, very comfortable and beautifully furnished, with a well equipped kitchen and delightful garden. Great location close to two beaches with walks from the doorstep and train and bus for exploring further afield. Friendly and thoughtful hosts, will definitely be booking again.
Beautiful little property located a short distance from the beach. The cottage is well presented with all the amenities you would need. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would 100% stay again. Highly recommended you would not be disappointed with your stay here
The property was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Tasteful decor and finish. Beautiful garden and views from the rear. The property sits on the most fantastic coastline and is well situated for visits across Snowdonia, and Anglesey isn't too far away.We really enjoyed our stay.
Beautifully designed and decorated property, in a wonderful location that is perfect for two guests. Owners friendly and helpful, looking forward to visiting again soon.
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The property is immaculate. A cosy cottage with all the amenities you need for a short stay. The garden at the back of the property is beautiful. Gary welcomed us as we arrived and gave helpful directions to get down to the beach and places to eat. A peaceful break from the business of life.
The cottage was beautiful, Warm and cozy in the evenings with the log burner going. The hosts were amazing, very helpful and super friendly. We will 100% be returning and cant wait for our next visit.
We loved staying here. Gary and Adrian have created a beautiful cottage and garden. Everything about it was perfect. We hope to have the chance to go back soon.
This was exactly what we were looking, a cosy, quiet little hideaway for a few days. Ty Golchi fitted the bill perfectly and we’ll definitely be back again soon.
We had an absolutely wonderful 4 nights in the cosy cottage over New Year. It was one of our favourite self catering properties we’ve ever booked (and we’ve done a lot!) the cottage was so clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a really relaxing stay. Thank you Gary!
The cottage was perfect for what I was looking for - a quiet, cosy getaway. It was comfortable and well equipped with everything I needed. Gary and his partner were the perfect hosts - warm and welcoming and every detail taken care of. Would definitely recommend!
5 Stars! Excellent cottage, very high standard indeed, everything well thought out and provided. Very comfortable and a thoroughly lovey experience - would certainly stay here again. We were also very fortunate that we picked a perfect weather spell, warm and sunny all weekend.
Great location close to the beach and access to great walks and the mountains, Fantastic well equipped cosy cottage with Friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome. I would recommend.
Gorgeous cottage, ideally located for access to Harlech/ Barmouth and within walking distance to 2 lovely beaches. Although on the small size, it is well equipped, immaculate and has everything you need for a self catering stay. Lovely garden to the rear.
