About this property

A fabulous stone cottage built in 1855, nestled in to the the hillside

The propertyThis semi-detached, stone-built Llwyngwril holiday cottage stands in a quiet lane beside the River Gwril in the pretty village of Llwyngwril in the Snowdonia National Park. This lovely North Wales cottage offers character accommodation including exposed beams, slate flagged floors and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a woodburner, all creating a charming, cosy atmosphere. This welcoming Llwyngwril cottage is close to many riverside and hill walks, with amenities of the village just a minute's walk, while it is only 10 minutes walk to the beach, which is brilliant for long lazy walks and rock-pooling at low tide. The area is also renowned for its fantastic climbing, surfing and cycling opportunities.

Note: The cottage is stone built in 1855 and is set into the hillside which has it's issues.
It has 2ft thick stone walls which change in temperature as does the weather.

Sometimes it will have seasonal weather effects:
You will possibly get muddy. The cottage is built into the hillside.
You will probably bring wet footwear / clothing into the cottage.
It is expected. Unless the sun shines. It is a sun trap from 11am until sunset.
It is not The Hilton.
There may be spiders.

If the above details don't worry you, please book, you won't be disappointed.
Regards Joe

Lovely Holiday
We had a lovely time at Tan y Bryn. The cottage is very well equipped and clean. Joe was very helpful with information on where to visit. The little village is so pretty with the rambling stream that runs down to the Beach and the people so friendly. Hope to return in the future

About the host

Hosted by Faulkner

Host profile image
Hi my name is Joe Faulkner.
I live with my partner Jayne and two daughters Mya 20 and Betsy 17.
We bought the cottage run down and slowly renovated it since 2002. We have had many fabulous times here over the years and decided to let other people enjoy the cottage,the spectacular scenery and the many wonderful days out along the Cambrian coastline and Snowdonia National Park.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is built in to the hillside and set back off the single track lane leading to Tan y Bryn (Welsh for ‘under the hill’)
The cottage has almost total seclusion apart from the odd tractor going up the bridle path to feed the sheep in the fields behind. It is also the start of the amazing walking route over the hills above. (See ordinance Survey map).
Tan y Bryn is a place you can relax and unwind for sure when you light the wood burner in the large inglenook fireplace.

What makes this property unique

Off road parking for two cars which is rare in the village of Llwyngwril.
Built in 1855 the cottage has charm and retains original features.
No noise apart from sheep, the odd tractor and the sound of the river.
The local pub is only 1 minute walk away.
* NOTE: PUB RE-OPENED NOVEMBER 2019 After new management takeover and refurb. Now serving food daily

The pub is called The Garthangharad.
