Tyn-Y-Fron Barn overlooking the River Dee. Stunning views. Dogs welcome '


The Barn at Tynyfron. Completely self- contained barn conversion with large garden area. A cosy and sympathetic Barn Conversion with fantastic views over the Dee Valley and the hills beyond. Set on a hillside above the River Dee in the Vale of Ederynion, the eastern gateway to Snowdonia National Park. It overlooks the stretch of the River Dee featured in Mortimer and Whitehouse "GONE FISHING" And indeed appears as the cottage on the hill in some screen shots. We also feature in the programme "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE" as part of the story of Iwan Thomas. This little cottage, comfortably furnished, has been converted from an ancient barn to a quiet and warm retreat. Well equipped, cosy, warm and welcoming. Lovely lounge with wonderful outlook over the distant mountains and amazingly quiet. the Gally kitchen is well stocked with all crocks, pots etc. Access to bedroom by spiral stairs from the lounge where from the roof light you can see for miles into the valley and the hills beyond. Laze away your days with a bottle of wine either on the sheltered veranda or tucked up by the lounge window losing yourself in the view. Maybe you prefer to put on your boots and walk the amazing hills, or go sailing on Bala Lake, or maybe white water rafting just for the fun of it. Good walking for dogs in the forest above the cottage with direct access from Tyn-Y-Fron. Our visitor book is testimony to the magic that this little cottage seems to have. We have had engagements here, honeymoons, birthdays and even first baby announcements. We can guarantee that you will want to return. We welcome well behaved dogs but prefer to know the breed before arrival. We are open all year so a quiet Christmas on a Welsh hill might be just what you need.
A waymarked footpath passes right through the 13 acres of land at Tyn-Y-Fron so dog walking is easy. We really look forward to meeting you and adding you to our list of friends we have made by letting the Barn over the years.

Simply stunning location
Lovely welcome from the owners. Great location for walks, with the dogs and plenty to see. The cottage itself is in the most beautiful location, with stunning views from the porch. We loved our stay and our two dogs were hopefully well behaved. Looking forward to booking again in the future.

Beautiful and quirky place!!
We stayed for 3 nights and absolutely loved it!! The main reason we chose it was the veranda and views, and we were not disappointed!! The veranda is so big that even when it was raining we could still sit outside and stay dry. We spent ages out there watching the birds. Indoors was brilliant too, from the crazy plastic spiral staircase, down to the old hobby horse, there was beautiful quirkiness around every corner! The hosts were lovely and extremely helpful when we had issues with the boiler and a broken chair, they were resolved very quickly. The only thing I would change is that there is a sign in the kitchen asking to make sure you do your dishes ready for the next people. I’m happy to do this and I would have anyway, but our dishes had not been cleaned very well by the previous person, so we had to then wash everything before use. I think all of the dishes should maybe get washed as part of the deep clean between guests? Not a fault of the hosts though, but trusting guests with this might not be the best thing. That was a small issue though, overall we absolutely loved our mini break and would highly recommend to anyone who likes something a bit different and quirky, with lovely hosts and great views!
