“Everything was brilliant except for the mattress on the double bed there was a big dip and lumpy .”

..also there was a nasty crack in the bedroom window above the bed which we consider to be dangerous if fell in whilst in bed.......but doesn't deter us from holidaying there again we liked the property x

“Wonderful location, with amazing views and a really lovely outside space to sit with a cup of tea in the morning or something stronger in the evening.”

We only stayed three nights and ate out for two of those, but the kitchen had everything we needed and seemed well stocked for utensils. Very close (easy walking distance) to the Glaslyn Osprey centre - a great place to while away a few hours. We'd definitely stay here again

“What a great place!”

We loved the barn, especially the lovely bathroom (what a fabulous big bath). We appreciated all the beautiful natural materials used inside the barn and the wonderful garden - the kids loved scrambling on the rocks and exploring the wilder parts. We even met a joiner in the friendly local pub who had worked on some of the woodwork and were able to complement him on his handiwork. We could have done with a blind in the downstairs bedroom as the moon was so bright one night it woke us up. Drawback of having such clear skies I suppose.

“The listing and photos are exactly as described.”

The accomodation is very well appointed and well equipped. The bed was lovely and comfortable we slept like babies. We particularly liked the outdoor space. The garden was our idea of perfection not manicured but natural and full of wildlife, and the views and scenery are spectacular. We enjoyed watching the steam train as it passed, whistling every time it crossed the level crossing on the road not far from the entrance to the property. We were very lucky with the weather for our fortnight and managed to eat out in the garden most days and enjoy the tranquility offered from the location. The location is perfect for visiting the many attractions in the area with everything in easy reach. A lovely relaxing holiday in a super cottage/barn conversion. Thank you, we will hopefully return.

“On arrival the ‘Eco Barn’ was so easy to find, even in the dark.”

What a lovely cottage it is, and in peaceful surroundings too…..we would definitely use again. Lovely and warm(even in early January)….with logs for the fire if needed. The cottage was ideally situated for us to explore Snowdonia. Definitely would use again when stopping in Snowdonia.

“Such a lovely week spent at Cornel eco barn.”

Everything you need on hand, the grounds around the cottage maintained beautifully. If anyone is looking for a break away, switch off, Go off grid and relax we’d definitely recommend the Eco barn. You would never know there was another barn next to you. We’ll be booking for next year

“Great place to stay.”

Be good if BBQ was mentioned in f facilities. As I think another review mentioned bigger towels would be great. An outside air dryer for clothes would be good to, and eco friendly

“We had no water twice.”

Had no contact number only yourselves Menia. If a problem happened when the office was shut you don't have a contact number this happened once. We were told this problem with the Water happens alot. And needs sorting. There was no welcome information. I believe the owner should make a welcome pack with the information in. Giving a contact number, where the WiFi is and other information about the barn. Other than that really enjoyed our stay

“We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay in this well fitted out, idyllic cottage.”

Everything worked well and both the kitchen and the bathroom were well equipped. We liked the slate floored wet room shower, although it was a little difficult to coax the water to run away.

The property

Tyn Llwyn Cornel Barn is a rustic, detached eco-friendly cottage nestled in the tranquil community of Garreg, Gwynedd.

It's the ideal base for walkers, trekkers, and wildlife enthusiasts to explore the various landscapes of North Wales and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

This property has been built from stone reclaimed from the surrounding land; wood from trees that have fallen naturally; hemp and sheep's wool used as insulation; an 'earthen' floor; air source heat pump.

A unique endeavour to showcase the potential beauty of an 'eco home'.

Unpack your luggage at the off-road parking and be greeted with the delightful picture-book landscape of this stone cottage.

Warmth is guaranteed throughout your stay thanks to wool insulation and air source heating.

Be welcomed by the open-plan living space with tall, sloped ceilings, Velux windows and charming wooden beams; prepare a packed lunch for your walk or set the table for four in the well-equipped kitchen, which includes an electric oven, hob, and fridge/freezer to stock up on local produce.

After a day of excursions, ignite the woodburning stove in the welcoming sitting area and snuggle into the cushions of the spacious corner sofa, while catching up with loved ones or watching a movie on the Smart TV.

Don't let the rain and mud keep you from going for a stroll; there's a washing machine on hand for a quick clean, and a tumble dryer in the outdoor utility.

The utility can also be used to store bicycles, boots, and wet trekking gear.

As night falls, younger guests can climb the stairs to the mezzanine twin room, which has a charming location in the wooden beams overlooking the living area, while on the ground floor, a bright and spacious king-size awaits with an original stone feature wall.

Soak tired legs in a hot bath in the ground-floor bathroom, or rinse off in the walk-in shower, which has a unique stone basin and slate floors.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the front patio while admiring the surrounding countryside's rustic charm.

For local delights, be sure to visit The Brondanw Arms, a traditional Welsh pub with roaring fires and cask ales, and Y Garreg Shop and Kitchen offers local produce and delicious breakfast and lunch options and enjoy delicious pizza and cocktails on a friday and saturday evening.

Visit Plas Brondanw, the former home of Welsh architect Clough William-Ellis, which is now available to the public and features a beautiful garden to explore.

William-Ellis is the brains behind Portmerion, a wonderful village just a short drive away where you can stroll through a picture-perfect, Italian-style village nestled into Welsh hills overlooking the coast; take woodland walks, stop for lunch at one of the cafés, and pick up souvenirs from the village shops.

The iconic Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways runs past the edge of the field opposite the property for 14 miles of rural pasture and majestic forests.

Catch a ride from just next door in Porthmadog, where there is a variety of shops and eateries and historical stories to discover in the town's Maritime Museum..

Travel north from Tyn Llwyn Cornel Barn to Beddgelert, a family-friendly town with plenty of history to discover; browse for local crafts, second-hand literature and art at Tŷ Isaf, before cycling or walking the Rhyd Ddu trail to Eryri's (Snowdonia) peaks, or adventure underground at Sygun Copper Mine.

Those looking for a seaside escape should head to Criccieth, which sits at the mouth of Cardigan Bay and boasts the fairy-tale Castell Criccieth, as well as a plethora of eateries to sample local seafood, or pack your towels for a relaxing day by the sea, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the breathtaking Llŷn Peninsula.

Tyn Llwyn Cornel Barn is a spectacular, environmentally conscious accommodation for exploring the attractions of North Wales.
