To your right is the creatively designed kitchen with dining table, and if you decide to eat in, the kitchen is well-equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and all the thoughtful little extras creating a lovely space to cook in. After dinner, relax on the chairs and sofa in the lounge area, plan your activities or watch a film on the TV. For cosy nights in light the wood burner and lose yourself in a good book. Beyond the kitchen and down some steps you will find the stylish ground floor bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC, just perfect to relax in a bubble bath and dry off with soft towels.

The area and building are amazing but the house desperately needs a good clean and lick of paint. The shower is unusable as the head won't stay in position, the grout in the shower is filthy, the plug is full of black mould and underneath the toilet seat is stained yellow. My sheets also had stains or fading and the place was dusty. It was also Read moreunfortunate that a roofer was working on the house for 2 days as the whole point of the holiday was to have privacy and seclusion. Hugely disappointed.

A gem of a place! We had everything we needed for us, our toddler, baby and dog. We loved the privacy and seclusion of Ty Coch. We also loved the personal touches like the owners folder of recommended walks (which we did a couple of and had a wonderful time). The cottage itself is beautiful.

This cottage is lovely, with pleasant views & set peacefully up on the hillside away from traffic. We enjoyed sitting on the garden terraces at the end of days visiting various sites. The pathway up to the cottage is slightly arduous & can be slippy in the wet, so a little care is needed. Thank you to the owners very much.

Beautiful cottage! You need to be fit for Wales and reasonable agility for the cottage. I've had both knees replaced a year ago and I managed fine, but I'm definitely not fit enough for Wales!

This was our fifth visit to T Coch and it never disappoints. Stunning location and the perfect property for those wanting peace and solitude. Ty Coch is rough round the edges in all the right ways - comfortable and well-equipped, but without modernisation stripping it of its character. Better broadband than I have at home!

If you like seclusion, peace and beauty, Ty Coch is the place for you. It also offers unrivalled access to so many walks from the door. Our cocker spaniel had the best time ever chasing his ball around the garden and watching the owls swooping around the garden at night was a treat.

One note for others, after such a dry spring and settled weather, we were very troubled by midges - bring some Smidge! Hide

An amazing location! But you need to be fit to carry everything from your car to the cottage. It's a tough walk uphill with suitcases, food, and alcohol! Well worth the effort though. Fabulous garden. Fabulous walks from the doorstep.
