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.

Harlech, with its castle, stunning beach and world famous links golf course, Royal St. David, is just over a mile away.

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.

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.

Long weekend in a cosy cottage

We loved our short stay in Ty Golchi. Everything in the cottage is such good quality and the space has been maximised. It was so warm in there even without the log burner. It was lovely to sit in front of the fire in the evening after being out for long walks along the beach. We didn’t have to use our car as the cottage is so well placed for visiting tourist attractions. We walked to the local beach and also to Harlech. We enjoyed the welcome pack with local produce.

Perfect "Room" with a view

The property was absolutely gorgeous with an exceptional attention to detail from the decorations at Ty Golchi to the beautiful gardens and sitting areas nestled in each corner of the extensive back yard. Gary was super welcoming and was super attentive when we had questions about the area. He was gracious in every way. A little slice of heaven not to mention the local bus picked us up and delivered us at and to our front door so we could visit the surrounding sea side towns. The kitchen was well equipped and shopping at Y Grocer Harlech allowed us to have breakfasts and dinners at the cottage and ate lunch out on our day trips. Lovely 7 days.
