Robert

It was our second visit here so we already knew what to expect. I love the layout of the house and garden. Its so cosy and calming. We did what we always do, enjoyed nice walks with our border collie and cooked ourselves a nice meal in the evenings and relaxed. The sofas are so huge and comfortable. Tiled floors downstairs so no fear of making a mess. Comfortable beds. I cant believe how pitch black it gets at night. Im sure we'll be back.

Beautiful cottage, full of character.

Delightful property well fitted out for a comfortable stay. Lovely large garden and surrounded by beautiful scenery. A great place to relax and enjoy a well earned break.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ty Uchaf. Our daughter and family joined us for the weekend which was filled with walks from the cottage, family meals and evenings in front of the fire. After they left us on Monday we went to the Coop in Machynlleth, which is quite large and had all we needed for the rest of the week. We enjoyed a lovely day in Porthmadog, enjoying a takeout coffee sitting looking out at harbour one of my happy places. The following day we went to Betws y Coed. Ty Uchaf is a beautifully restored old cottage, retaining many original features. The kitchen was well equipped and loved the range! Bedrooms were quirky and Im assured that all beds were very comfy! All together, a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage, far away from the madding crowd peaceful and dark, dark nights. Would love to return at some point in the future.

Rachel

Ty Uchaf is a lovely holiday cottage. Spacious and traditional. The photos do not really do this house justice. Very large private garden. Beautiful views and a lovely area. We will definately return to this one if we can.

We had a great stay, four glorious days then the storm came which didnt hinder our enjoyment of Wales the views across the valley are picturesque to say the least. Farm house is well equipped and relatively easy to find .. sat nav takes you to the front door

Sharon

We had a fantastic time time the cottage was really well equipped with everything you need only thing thats not in the cottage is a tumble dryer that you may need during the winter. The grounds were fantastic for my two large dogs the whole garden is fully fenced. Its a drive a way from local beeches such as Barmouth and theres a small bridal path just the the left of the gate. Its peaceful and quiet and no one bothers you! To be honest the best property we ve been in so far thankyou to Sam and family.

Robert

We arrived at Ty Uchaf and was really happy that it was secluded with an enclosed garden for our border collie. .he loved sniffing around the garden. Very well equipped and comfortable house with good sofas to lounge on and plenty of reading spots to choose from with lovely views. Nice to spend time in the garden just listening to nature and watching the birds on the feeder and relaxing on the many seating areas. Was great to come back to the house after long walks in the surrounding hills and just chill . All in all had a great time and hope to be back asap.

Bernard

Great place,doggie heaven. Only concern I have is the 450 house keeping bond,no mention of it on booking page ,find it set very high,you are on tenterhooks case you break a 450 eggcup.i would imagine it puts people off.

Excellent property in an idyllic location. We had such a relaxing stay and couldnt have asked for anything more! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a quiet location.

A lovely property, the garden is quite steep which may be a problem for some people, but gorgeous. Lovely holiday would highly recommend.

Stunning, quirky home with a beautiful garden. Great facilities and a really well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend, we will definitely return.
