A wonderful cottage full of character

We had amazing days in this special magic house with such a nice atmosphere located in an amazing place.

it was a very relaxing time

Lovely cottage. Everything we needed for agreat stay . Close to amenities. Thankyou for a great stay.

Property is very interesting over 3 floors, We has 4 adults and 2 teenagers and 1 child, property more than big enough for all of us with space to relax for us all. In the middle of everything, all on your doorstep. I love Barmouth, will be back

We had a fabulous week staying in Tanygraig. The property was exactly as it was described and the host couldn't have been more helpful, from booking through to the day we left and beyond. The house is over 300 years old so it was fascinating staying in a building with so much history, imagining what life would have been like for the people who lived there in years gone by. Tanygraig is in the heart of the town with everything you could possibly need no more than a few minutes walk away but it is tucked away amongst the winding lanes of Barmouth so it still feels like you are getting away from it all. It was especially lovely to sit on the terrace in the evening with a glass of wine, enjoying the views. I can really see why the current owners fell in love with this lovely old house and we look forward to returning again soon.

Luxury 5 star hotel this is not … but if you are looking for reasonably priced lodging in a lovely authentic Welsh town, with friendly Welsh neighbors, this just might be your ideal rental. You’ll make beds with our own linens when you arrive, walk a few blocks to park your car (and carry luggage if you have any but the smallest of vehicles), duck your head as you walk up twisty stairs or down into the laundry (even the shorter adults!), and run the vacuum and clean bathrooms before you lock the door to depart. But while you are here … you have mountains, castles, abbeys and Irish Sea. Easy access by short walk to restaurants, fish and chips, meat pies, groceries, ice cream, amusements … as well as bus and trains to carry you to other towns in this stunning corner of the world. The house has laundry and is well equipped in the kitchen so you can feed the kids cereal and sandwiches or make full meals. With 5 bedrooms it was easy for each member of the family to have their own space. There are sand toys, DVDs for rainy days, guidebooks and hiking maps, and I was even able to find a needle and thread when my travel pants popped a hole in the pocket. (So I had a pound coin at the ankle of my joggers) Mike communicated promptly and effectively any time we reached out with a question. We fell in love with North Wales, and very much hope to return to Barmouth and Mike’s house when we next come “across the pond” from our home in America.

This house is exactly what we expected and were looking for. Price was great, really quirky and interesting building in a great location. It did smell a little damp in some rooms, but as says in description the house is very old and this should be taken into consideration - we enjoyed our stay!

Booked cottage last minute, property manager confirmed booking on time for us to go, very friendly and 5 mins walk to beach.

A wonderful place in an old atmosphere, it has its own charm. I will gladly go back there.

Great place got everything you need shops pubs restaurants and beach all in walking distance

Lovely cottage with walking distance to beach and shops. Old, but has everything you need. WiFi, heating and plenty of hot water. Steps and narrow stairs would be tricky for people with mobility issues- no toilet downstairs.

We had a great stay at this property. It is in a superb location tucked away near the centre of Barmouth. There was plenty of room and the facilities in the house are excellent. We are already looking forward to our next stay there in 2024.

A beautiful, 300-year-old house. Warm, cozy, clean. I was impressed by the simplicity and naturalness. Good price. Parking was difficult, but we found a place near the gallery (community center), £5 per day. Resort town, many guests, many guests with dogs. We had a good Easter break. Thank you, hosts! ×××

Stayed here as a 2 families with teenagers and dogs, and it is a perfect place to stay! It’s comfortable, had all the space we needed and really close to the town and the beach. We enjoyed it so much we booked to go back before we left! Thank you Mike for being a perfect host and for your lovely property!

We're all enjoying the holiday.

We love coming here.

We only stayed at this property 6 weeks ago and loved it so much we booked again for our daughters 21st birthday. For us, this place is our perfect holiday home, dog friendly and close to the beach. We just love it so much we never want to leave. Barmouth doesn't have much open most of the week at this time of year which is hardly a surprise, but this wasn't a bad thing for us it actually meant we did more, we explored the hill behind the house, found The Frenchmans Grave, lots of dog walks on the beach, experienced the beauty of Wales turning into winter. Truly magnificent. We tried different cafes, always a friendly welcome. We were at the Christmas light switch on and it was a beautiful experience for us. After all of these things we returned to the house and sat by the fire or read in the sun room. Thanks again for sharing your home.

Absolutely awful smelt of damp have taken photos of the dreadful toaster and pillows . I knew it was an old property and had old fashioned furnishings and the price was cheap but we could not stay there and left first thing in the morning. Could not sleep in the beds the one night we did stay we slept on the sofa .

Love it needs modernisation but for our experience I loved it would go again and would really say great .

A perfect location to access the charms of Barmouth and the surroundings for those on a budget and willing to forgo some creature comforts. Remember you are not in a property built in before many of today's services were ever a thing and so have had to be crowbarred in, which in some places clearly an ongoing project. Just one suggestion, a shower attachment in the bath would make a big improvement.

To be honest, we weren't expecting great things from this property, we just wanted somewhere to relax, enjoy Barmouth, celebrate my husbands 50th birthday and introduce the dogs to the beach! We didn't want to have to worry about dogs and sand! Well this house surpassed our expectations completely. We fell in love! No, it's not a holiday home as such, it's more...its like staying in a family home, with books, dvds, board games, beach paraphernalia to borrow, helpful odds and sods left by previous holidaymakers. Maybe not everybody's cup of tea but that's fine, more availability for us! The house is built over 3 levels and admittedly would be difficult for anyone with bad knees or mobility issues. My husband had a bad knee but just kept to the first 2 floors mainly and he was fine! My daughters ( 20, 22) appropriated the attic rooms and turned that floor almost into their own little flat. A pot of tea in the sun room even on a rainy day is so relaxing and reading by the log burner with hot chocolate after a dog walk on the beach in the evening is wonderful. I was expecting the house to maybe a bit cold/damp due to its age but this was not the case,it was wonderfully warm. There are logs available and found some to buy in the catalogue shop over the road, couldn't find any in the other shops but don't know if I was looking in the wrong places! The kitchen had everything needed - no coffee machine but several cafetieres and teapots! I did purchase a biscuit tin because you can't have a cup of tea without a biscuit can you! The patio was small and pretty, I can just imagine how great it would be having a barbecue in the summer. We left out a couple of big bowls of water on the patio to rinse the dogs off after the beach, popped their towel dressing gowns on and then dried off in front of the fire. They loved it! Barmouth itself was pretty quiet as expected most of the week - we had the beach to ourselves most of the time! But at the weekend it came alive, although it will be less so as the weeks go by into winter no doubt. We visited the Rhaeadr Ddu River walk/waterfall less than a half hour drive, easy to find with a small carpark and toilets..absolutelybeautiful! Keep dogs on leads though as the current is rapid and deceptively deep at the edge. Its all so dog friendly, the people are friendly, we can't wait to return and have already booked for end of November for my daughters 21st birthday at her request. Thanks for sharing your home.

Good and cheap, good location but you have to expect the usual town center noise.

Brilliant location and cute cottage. Costs are kept down by guests cleaning but could do with a deep clean and a lick of paint in places. Great option for a cheap getaway.

really enjoyed our stay, the house is far more spacious than the it appears in the photos. It was lovely and cool indoors, when it was 30 dergrees outside. We loved walking up the hill to see the views from the top far from the crowds. Would book again but someone has already reserved it, our loss

This is the second time my partner and I have stayed at this property. We really love the house and it’s location. Unfortunately the previous people didn’t leave the house as clean as they should have!

We have stayed here afew time, exactly as listed. Perfect base.

Though not modern, the property is large, and very central to barmouth,

Lovely old cottage in a perfect location. Yes the cottage does need a bit of TLC but we were told it's not the ritz so overall happy. Thank you

Staying in the cottage was amazing. Very authentic cottage with many rooms and all equipment needed for vacations. It is convenient location and good communication with the host. Property is historical and it is great for stay for bigger family. I can recommend it very much.
