  What a privilege to stay in such a stunningly beautiful property in an idyllic part of Wales!

  Centuries of history, stained glass windows (look out for the Welsh dragon on the pub sign), gravestones, mist-shrouded mountains with pool, darts and vinyls (great classical selection provided but bring your own non-classical - the Vaccines worked well for us!) to boot - not to mention fairy lights around the altar - what's not to like! OK there's some discussion about the separating toilet - it works fine and is standard in Sweden - embrace the new with the old. Sometimes it was a bit chilly in the main church area but it is a big space and hard to heat - a small price to pay in my opinion. Some tips - put "St Mary's Catholic Church Tywyn" into Google maps and it will get you to the exact spot (avoid using postcode or St Mary's Tal-y-Llyn on Anglesey!) - visibility when exiting from the property in a car is very restricted - there is a mirror over the road which we only realised was there after several days which makes life a lot easier - you can walk to Tyn-y-Cornel for a drink and amazing views from their picnic benches - although they were fully booked for evening meals - the Cross Foxes is further but was very nice - there are lovely independent cinemas at Tywyn (The Magic Lantern) and Borth (Libanus 1877 - with restaurant which was excellent). Enjoy!

  Positives: Lovely historic building sympathetically adapted.

  TV choice is excellent as is WiFi coverage throughout. Whilst the toilet is not a common system for most, we had no problems with it. Bed in the 'pod' bedroom was really comfy. Negatives: Unfortunately, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Whilst accepting it is an old building, it's not too much to expect the living areas to be properly cleaned after the previous let. We found a dog biscuit on a chair cushion immediately on first sitting down. There was dry dog food around the sitting room and a large dust/hair ball in the bedroom. These things were in obvious places and should have been cleaned. During the week, we noticed many dead woodlice on the kitchen window ledge, which had evidently been there for some time. The owner told us about the water coming from the lake and then filtered to a high standard, however there is a yellow tinge to it. There was a Brita filter jug, but the indicator to replace the cartridge was flashing. We therefore bought bottled water. The owner subsequently told us that he notes the date of cartridge replacement on his phone! Overall: A lovely place let down by an inadequate cleaning regime, thought towards customer expectations. Not very good value. Unfortunately, we wouldn't return or recommend St Mary's.

  We had an amazing week at St Mary's in the beginning of May, huge thanks to Pete the property owner who was really welcoming, and stayed after 5 to let us in as we were running a bit late.

  He gave us a really great run-down of the property and told us where everything was, showed us how to use the composting toilet (which was really easy to use and totally hygienic, so don't be put off!) St Mary's is such an amazing church, full of history and preserved brilliantly, I loved wandering around looking at the old photographs, reading about Jenny Jones, the history and reference books are a really nice addition. It's such a unique property, every day we kept saying we couldn't believe we were staying there! Honestly you could just spend a whole week in the beautiful church and around Tal Y Llyn and you'd have plenty to occupy yourselves with, it's absolutely stunning. We found out about Corris mine in one of the books and booked a 3 hour deep mine tour which was fascinating - really recommend that, it was a real adventure underground, like a different world! And then Cader Ä°dris is also on your doorstep and it's totally worth the climb, such amazing views! We'd also recommend Dolgoch Falls, Brygn Eglwys (overground mine workings and a lovely walk with cave & waterfall) Aberdyfi and Tywyn for beaches. We crammed a lot into a week's visit but felt like there was much more to see, we hope to be back!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nook.

  It was very clean, comfortable and generally well equipped. It was delightfully close to the seafront providing some lovely views. Great having the on-site parking too. The kitchen had an amazing, modern oven - we were very grateful for the comprehensive instruction manual. We shied away from trying the Ninja air fryer though. A few small points: A kitchen roll would have been useful. The entrance door took us a few seconds to figure out how to engage the lock - you need to fully lift the handle before turning the key or the knob on the inside. The bin use instructions are on the inside of the lids so found them after opening the bins. Helpful as everywhere seems to have different recycling guidelines. The duvet and some of the cushions have feather fillings - very soft and comfortable but we brought our own duvet as I react badly to feathers. Overall, a terrific place for two people to stay and we would certainly consider staying there again.

  Absolutely love St Mary's Church and the surrounding areas.

  I will highly recommend but there were a couple of things that let the owners down! (Not the building or surroundings) We appreciate the age etc of the building and it is difficult to keep dust free etc, someone with allergies was not great! Also before we had even had a shower there is black mould in the shower cubicle and mould on tiles and you cannot have a relaxing shower as the shower is so loud. We had never experienced an eco toilet before initially it a shock but you do get used to it. One thing you don't get used to is the smell of the blocks that they put in the urine section, you walk in to what is a lovely bedroom but it smells like a public toilet. There must be a non smell alternative, surely! We are so sorry for sounding negative but the critisms can be easily put right, if we didn't mention it then nothing will be done, maybe! I finish with we highly recommend the church, we had a lovely time.
