  Scylla View is a great place to stay - you are literally at the bottom of the cliff, almost on the beach.

  The flat has great views and is very comfortable and cosy. There are two bedrooms, a good shower/loo plus a small kitchen area in the open plan sitting room. There is no table, but a large bar with stools round to sit and eat. The pans are good to cook with. It is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the planning and decor. It has a joint entrance with the owner's home, which is accessed off a large deck, and is situated above the other one bed apartment - the cafe and surf school are below/behind the owners home. The cliff is steep, and it does take some time to get down and up as it is not just the 166 steps but also the long drag up the tarmacked lane to the the top of the cliff - I am fat and in my 50's and my husband has had both hips and a knee done and we managed it without any problem....but needed a lot of puff. We would have struggled without the hoist for our luggage. You do need to be very organised with regard to supplies - it is isn't the sort of place to run out of anything! There were plenty of teabags, a couple of coffee pods for the machine, salt & pepper grinders, a tea towel, oven gloves, bedding and towels, dettox, a cleaning cloth and a scourer provided, but don't forget oil for cooking and any herbs etc. In season Jim and Nina will cook you fish or scampi and chips etc. There is also a cafe near the top of the cliffs which opens all year round until about 4pm and will provide hot pasties to take out on a day trip or lunch, or tea and cake/scones. If you go over the road there is a restaurant in Whitesands Bay Holiday Park, which apparently does a carvery on Sundays. The views are breathtaking and the beaches are just beautiful.

  Our stay at Tyn Llwyn Barn was perfect!

  On arrival we were greeted by Bethan who has been a fabulous host so friendly and helpful. We were left a hamper basket with a range of items which was much appreciated. The property is immaculate you can tell the owners take great pride in it. We loved that there were TVs in every room so no one fights over what to watch! Each room is so cosy, with a en-suite bathroom which was luxury, especially the bath tub in one of the rooms! The view from the lounge upstairs, is truly breathtaking you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. We had thick snow during our stay and Bethan asked us if we needed anything from the shops due to unable to go out for a few days. But this didn’t hinder the stay it was very cosy and we enjoyed sitting in the lounge playing quizzes! We had another guest arrival and due to the snow there car overturned however Bethan’s Husband Huw helped us out with no bother and got them back on the road which we are very grateful for. Although the weather was very cold we still made use of the hot tub, the views when sat in the hot tub are amazing. There are plenty of places nearby to explore and plenty of shops. We really loved our stay and will come back in a heartbeat. Only tip for future guests would be just to open the gates just before you accelerate to get in as this will help you a lot. Take it steady up the hill and down as it is steep but if you take it steady you’ll get up and down with no issues.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful cottage nestled on top of the mountains, and I have to say that it was truly an incredible experience for my family.

  From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, which stretched out as far as the eye could see. The cottage itself was modern and clean, with every detail carefully thought out to ensure the utmost comfort and convenience for guests. From the cozy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen, everything was designed to make me feel right at home. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the hot tub, which offered a truly stunning view of the mountains and valleys below. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring. Throughout my stay, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the cottage was. It was clear that the owners take great pride in providing a top-notch experience for their guests, and it certainly showed in every aspect of my stay. Bethan is very friendly, approachable and helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway in the mountains. With its spectacular views, modern amenities, and cozy atmosphere, it truly has everything you need for a memorable and relaxing vacation. Naser

  A spectacular property, as close to the sea as it gets.

  Jim and Nina could not have been better hosts and the pictures don't do the apartment justice. Has everything you could need and more. In the photos the twin room looks as though the beds are child size but these are in fact full size singles. This is the place to stay for anyone who wants to get away from it all and just appreciate the beauty of the sea. For rainy days there is surprisingly good WiFi and a selection of DVDs- although we took to playing cards, reading and painting! I would also recommend the cafe directly below the property, nothing was too much trouble! If you manage to read Jim's book before you stay (or while you are there as I did), you will realise what a privilege it is to be in the company of such an interesting man and I only wish we had been able to share that glass of wine before we left. Thank you for everything, will definitely be back in the spring! Charlotte and Amelia

  We had the most amazing holiday at Tyn Llwyn Barn.

  This was our first holiday with our 7 month old daughter and it could not have been more perfect. The view is absolutely stunning, and although it looks good in the photos it is even better in real life. It was a great base for exploring the area, and perfect to come back to after a long walk with the dogs. We really enjoyed watching the sheep and cows run down past the house in the morning when the farmer came to feed them. We will definitely be coming back, as we found this house very family friendly. We had a high chair and travel cot which was available upon request and there are already retractable stair gates installed which is great for young children and dogs. I’ve already recommended this hidden gem to many family and friends who are keen to visit. Thank you to Bethan, our lovely host, who made our first holiday as a family very special.
