Guest Reviews
We returned to Ty Gwyn for a second year’s family holiday in this comfortable house, which is within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, Bishop’s Palace and Cross Square. There is plenty of room in the well equipped kitchen dining room, and the adjacent laundry room is practical. The living room is spacious and there is a small front porch with hooks for drying waterproofs. The conservatory has enough room for storing a pram, as well as being a cosy space for quiet reading or playing board games after dinner. The sheltered stone terrace is lovely for eating out at the table, as well as providing space for the BBQ, outside tap (for rinsing wetsuits) & temporary washing line. The raised enclosed lawned garden is delightful for small children, & the private parking on shingle is convenient. The house is set back from the road and offers lovely views of the garden, countryside & adjacent period properties.
