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.

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.

Best place to stay
We stayed at this amazing cottage, and it was one of the best places we've ever stayed at. The pictures don't do it justice. The cottage was so cosy with a cute log burner. It had everything we needed. A home away from home. To top it off, the owner, Gary was an amazing host always just a phonecall away. Overall, a beautiful, clean and pleasant place to stay and we will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely stay at Ty Golchi, such a lovely little cottage. The attention to detail by our hosts made this little cottage a perfect place to stay for our mini break. The lovely selection of goodies left for us was a lovely surprise. The cottage is beautifully decorated, cosy and warm with everything you need for a perfect stay. It felt like home from home. Thank you so much - we will be back again soon

The property was very well presented with excellent facilities. Ideal for our short walking holiday and re-visiting the local areas. Very convenient for the beach, mountains and local towns. Gary was on hand to welcome us to the cottage but not intrusive. Definitely recommended.

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.

Sweet cottage with a gorgeous garden
Absolutely beautiful cottage and a fantastic stay in this lovely place. The cottage is an excellent restoration of an historic building, and beautifully curated by Gary. All the furnishings are immaculate and high end. Add to this an exquisite garden at the back door, a log burning fire all set up, and some delicious treats on the kitchen counter,.. this is an absolute gem, and very worthy of its consistent 5 star reviews on VRBO. Gary and Adrian are wonderful hosts, and made us feel more like house guests than paying guests. They are exceptionally kind and truly go the extra mile to ensure their guests are comfortable and enjoying their stay. And their shop in Harlech is absolutely THE place to go for your shopping! Lovely array of produce, baked goods, deli counter, and prepared foods. We cannot recommend this cottage, and Gary and Adrian’s’ hospitality highly enough.

This was the first time we’ve booked a cottage for a holiday and honestly we are probably spoiled forever now. Ty Golchi is just stunning! Everything was top notch. The little private garden is beautiful, the owners, and Mum, are friendly and helpful and the little dog is adorable.

They thought of everything
We had a wonderful time during our stay. Before our arrival, we received a PDF document containing all the necessary details and instructions which was very helpful. When we arrived at the cottage, we struggled a bit to find it because it was dark outside. It would have been easier if the exact Google location was included in the instructions. However, everything else went smoothly. The cottage was well-equipped and beautifully decorated. The host definitely has great taste! We highly recommend this cottage to everyone and we are already planning to come back. Thank you!
