Location
Gwern Tyno is a detached bungalow, close to the owner's farm house in the Nant-y-Glyn Valley just a short drive from Colwyn Bay on the North Wales coast. With one double and one twin bedroom as well as a family bathroom, this cottage can sleep four people. The cottage also contains a fitted kitchen and a sitting room with a dining area and patio doors. To the outside of the cottage is the use of a large garden and plenty of off road parking. Just a couple of miles from the beach, yet just a short distance from the Welsh mountains, Gwern Tyno is a lovely holiday cottage no matter what you plan to do on your holiday.
Colwyn Bay offers the best of the North Wales countryside and coastline. As a base from which to explore all that the region has to offer, this seaside town is an attraction in itself but is also within easy access of many of North Wales' hidden gems such as the Mountain Zoo, the prestigious Theatr Clwyd and a number of stunning National Trust properties. The town itself is well-served by great shopping facilities and, for those who like a bit of outdoor adventure, there are ample opportunities for fishing, sailing and jet-skiing. The beaches in the area are undergoing constant improvement and some have achieved awards for their cleanliness and presentation.
Famous for its choirs, stunning mountain ranges and beautiful valleys, this wonderful country has something for everyone. From Snowdonia in North Wales to the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast in the South.

"The accommodation was clean comfortable and well equipped. Cottage is next to owners' property but felt private with living room patio doors and seating area outside overlooking open countryside. Perfect location with beautiful walks through nearby woods and easy base to reach local beaches, stores and for exploring surrounding area and Anglesey. We had no issue with the lane, there were lots of places to give way but we didn't need to use them. Would love to stay again."

"My daughter & myself spent a really pleasant week here recently. My daughter has special needs & is very fussy but she loved it here! Very clean cottage, extremely comfortable, all mod cons. Amazing views. Very helpful - but not intrusive - owner. I was initially worried about the road leading up to the property but didn't find it a problem. Close to many of North Wales' attractions."

"Our stay here exceeded our expectations. It is a comfortable, well furnished, modernized, small cottage, adjacent to the owner's house. We walked the local footpaths and country roads, enjoyed the challenge of driving the narrow road out of Colwyn Bay, read books and generally relaxed. The owner was very helpful and we plan on staying there again on our next trip to the area."

"The photos on the internet are seriously misleading, the owners home isn't just 'close to' the cottage, it's on top of it, owners have a direct view in through the kitchen window. Kitchen floor covered in slug trails; nasty! Tried to contact owner on two numbers but no answer even though we were expected. We had had a long drive, were tired and upset so we went to Llandudno for the night and drove home the next morning. Worst non-holiday ever, wish we'd stayed at home."

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful spot, with very friendly and helpful owners. It is just a shame it is over half a mile up a steep and very winding single track road, which was blocked one day by sheep, and the next day by a lorry collecting logs which held us back from our day out by half an hour each time. If it were more accessible, or we were more used to reversing down hills and around bends, we would definitely return."
