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.

This is the perfect place to sit back, let your shoulders drop and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this stunning place.

Everything we needed

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.

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.

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. .

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.
