Tyddyn Bach

Tyddyn Bach is a cottage full of character.

The facilities are excellent with everything you need to have a happy holiday. The outside space is also great for sitting in the sun or for children to play outside safely. The two sitting areas down stairs, the log fires and the large kitchen table give a large family or a group of friends plenty of space to spread out or sit together closely during the stay.

The property is absolutely wonderful and couldn’t wish for anything better and I’m quite particular so that’s a big bonus!

All bedrooms were well equipped and comfy beds and linen. Great bathrooms and showers and always hot water. The decor was lovely particularly the curtains and design. The kitchen, dining area was very spacious and all in working order. So convenient to the lounge and seeing the garden through the French doors. The patio was perfect and quite a sun trap too. So peaceful, private and a joy listening and watching the birds fluttering about the huge garden. Thank you to the owners and domestic staff. Hopefully we would love to stay again in 2027

Another return visit to this delightful cottage.

Clean and comfortable with access to all the amenities that Newport has to offer. If planning to eat out on Sundays and Mondays in particular it is well worth ringing ahead and confirming a booking with the locations that are open.

Charming cottage.

Comfortable beds and very well equipped. The children loved the back yard and the outside dining was perfect because we had glorious weather. Would stay again. Thank you.

Thankyou, what an amazing cottage with a very relaxed and chilled vibe about it.

We spent time in the garden and had to push ourselves to go anywhere we felt so at home. We had the perfect break and came home feeling very refreshed. Thankyou for your gift as well we both really appreciated it.

We have stayed four years running so that should say something.

The stairs are not easy with our advanced age but we have always valued our stay It is a fun place to have a holiday break

Homely traditional cottage.

Lovely garden. Comfortable beds. Great location within a short walk of pubs and cafes and a just a little further to the coast path with a great stretch of accessible path for buggies. Would stay again.

A lovely stay at Tyddyn Bach.

Everything we could possibly need in the cottage and an amazing garden which the children loved playing in.

Tyddyn Bach has a delightful, homely atmosphere.

Well appointed and so comfortable. With all the local facilities, pubs, restaurants, shops and amenities the location makes for a perfect place to relax and recharge the batteries.

We loved staying at your cottage, it felt so welcoming and relaxing.

We loved the fact that it was a family house and retained the feel of being well loved by all who visited there. Best wishes Betty and John.

It felt as though we were in our own home - warm, comfortable and quiet but also near shops, pubs and beach.

And so many lovely walks nearby.

we had a fantastic stay at Tyddyn Bach very cosy well equipped ,everything was perfect ,Newport is a delightful place some very good places to eat and just a short walk to the beach lots of things to do nearby looking forward to going there again

A lovely old cottage, with large garden, conveniently located.

There’s plenty to do in and the local village and area. Great for the beach or walks on the mountain. Would recommend this cottage.

The cottage enjoys a wonderful location.

One can go for wild walks & see unforgettable seascapes while being on the doorstep of a post office, secondhand bookshop, butcher/Green grocer, pubs, restaurants, cafes, art gallery etc all within 10 minutes walk from the front door. The cottage itself has lovely wood burning stoves, a super large country kitchen dining table & a pretty protected patio area looking on to a substantial garden. Altogether a very cosy, comfortable & practical holiday property, which we have visited regularly over many years without disappointment.

We had a great holiday at Tyddyn Bach in Newport Pembs.

The lovely garden is a big plus, especially, if you are lucky enough to have nice weather. The house is well appointed and well equipped. Tyddyn Bach is an old property, interesting and as with all older buildings, maintenance is key, T.Bach is a little tired in regards to fixtures and fittings and comfy furniture. We loved Newport, it is central to many tourist spots and we are returning again for Christmas.

The cottage was a good size and quite well equipped.

However, we found the cottage to be dark and gloomy. The kitchen, furniture and light fittings were dated and we felt that it had been many years since it had been given an update. The sofas were not supportive and needed replacing or repairing. Although the water pressure and supply of hot water was good the shower head in the main bathroom did not provide a good spray pattern and there some black mould on it which may have also been blocking the jets. The staircase was quite difficult to negotiate and would have benefited from some tread grips plus more lighting. The garden and patio area were very nice. The lack of direct parking was also an issue. We appreciate that rough, bare stonework is an attractive feature in a cottage but in this case, together with small windows, it did make the cottage dark inside.

Tyddyn Bach is a pretty cottage and is conveniently close to the shops, restaurants and other attractions of Newport.

Unfortunately, it was not clean when we arrived. While the floors and surfaces had been mopped and wiped, there were cobwebs and dead insects everywhere. We didn't go out of our way to find dirt - it was right in our view as we walked around the cottage. One of the cupboards in the kitchen was filled with mouldy potatoes. Our 4 year old found broken glass on the floor (admittedly, she was crawling around pretending to be a cat). Our 2 year old got soot all over her hands just from touching the outside of the wood burning stove. The kitchen cooker hood filters were greasy (and cobwebbed) and stank, and the cooker was greasy. We went in person to the office to complain, and they apologised and sent the cleaner around quickly, but they just mopped the floor again and threw out our newly bought and unopened packets of food along with the mouldy potatoes. We returned to the office to complain, and while they did offer to reimburse us, the cost of the food was negligible compared to the hassle of having to visit every restaurant in town looking for one which had a table during the busiest time while the kids cried that they were hungry. Aside from the cleanliness, the furniture and facilities in the cottage were worn and need updating. One of the sofas had collapsed springs and the other two were sofa beds that were very uncomfortable to sit on. We also found the beds uncomfortable, and while that is admittedly personal preference, it would seem other reviewers agree. We would advise parents of young children that the cottage is not ideal. In fairness, this was our mistake when selecting the cottage. While stair gates, high chair, cot and other facilities were provided, we found the step down from the kitchen to the sitting room a little dangerous for our 2 year old to negotiate, the stairs were very steep and we didn't feel comfortable letting our 4 year old climb them alone - this was made worse by the fact that the only toilet was upstairs. The shower screen in the bathroom was fixed in position, which made bathing the children quite awkward. Two of the beds in the twin rooms were pushed up against the stone walls, which may be a problem if kids accidentally scrape themselves on the stones. In conclusion, Tyddyn Bach didn't meet our expectations of cleanliness or comfort for the price, but we had a lovely stay in Newport in spite of this.

We have stayed three times and that says it all.

It suits us perfectly.we are grateful for the ‘Prosecco’ as well The settees are a tad low for my total comfort but is a minor detail We are impressed by the quality of china etc and kitchen equipment

Lovely warm, cosy and well-equipped cottage in a wonderful location.

A lovely home from home feeling in this Heritage Cottage positioned in a lovely village with good amenities and friendly atmosphere.

Our stay could only have been enhanced by being allowed to use the wood burning stoves.

Lovely old house in great village with quirky garden.

Fantastic beaches really close by and wonderful walks - the village is a great base to explore from. Couple of wrinkles - the house rules book and the website info conflict so a couple of blips : we had to call to check if we could light a fire the cleaners arrived an hour earlier than we expected - they were lovely about it and waited an hour while we finished cleaning up and packing but it was embarrassing. Don't miss a trip to the the Iron Age Village - superb experience!

a lovely, welcoming Cottage, warm and clean, with all amenities a family of 5 required.

weather wasnt too great so didnt get a chance to use the garden unfortunately but it looked perfect!

I'm afraid I have to agree with previous guests.

.. Cleanliness. I don't know what you are paying the cleaners but it clearly isn't enough. There were old pieces of food items and other detritus under the sofa beds in the snug. Spiders' webs everywhere. Three large Crane flies were firmly established in the shower area of the main bathroom. Comfort. The beds are too hard, both the mattresses and the pillows. The two sofa beds in the snug are not comfortable. The third sofa in there is too low! Facilities. One of the two log burners was out of commission. Had we known this in advance we would not have booked the cottage. This was one of our requirements for the kitchen area. We saw the two burners in the photos when we originally searched for this place. It meant that we only used the snug all the time as it had a log fire that worked. The kitchen/dining area was rarely used because we could never get it warm enough. The cottage itself was lovely, had character and was well-positioned for the local facilities. However, the whole experience was marred by the faults described above. And it's no good simply to respond by saying we should have contacted you, or that it's down to personal preference, or personal taste. Many people are coming back to you with the same issues. That should tell you something. You need to address these issues!

Lovely cottage but beds and sofa's are uncomfortable and advice upgrade.

Also no milk provided which, in our experince is always included.

The cottage is lovely but unclean.

The sofas were filthy and the floors only cleaned in visible areas. We were disappointed to find food under the edge of the sofa. Duvets were stained which we saw when stripping the beds
