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.

Relaxing stay

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.

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.
