GUEST EXPERIENCES
Read reviews from guests who have enjoyed their stay at Tŷ Cwch Boathouse
“This was Outdoorlads second stay at Ty Cwch, and it certainly won’t be our last… Cwmtydu is a peaceful, picturesque little cove just a few yards from the property, making it incredibly easy to enjoy multiple swims throughout the day… Parking was plentiful, which is a real bonus for larger groups.”
“Truly special… Sleeping cabins well insulated, dark and the wider single beds are spacious and comfy… Outdoor gear to use in abundance… Day was capped off watching a pod of dolphins breaching in the cove… Place would be great for a few families together or outdoors groups.”
“We are a small business that had our annual away days and wanted to do something much less corporate… We had quite a bit of rain but the set up of the boathouse meant we were able to use the outside spaces without getting wet!… The rooms are definitely a step up from most ‘hostel’ type accommodation and the mattresses were really comfy.”
“This was our second visit to Ty Cwch, and once again we had a wonderful time!… there are kayaking/bodyboarding bits which is great because you can go out at your leisure without having to book something… We would 100% stay here again!”
“We have just had a father and son adventure break for 2 nights. Enjoyed the first sea swims of the year and cliff top walks to New Quay. Then crash out in our bunk beds. There is something very special about this place.”
“The accommodation itself was perfect for our group. Lots of space and great facilities… All in all we had an absolutely brilliant weekend and would 100% come and stay again.”

SUSTAINABLE FACILITIES
Tŷ Cwch is a boathouse in Cwmtydu, on the Ceredigion Heritage Coast, built from shipping containers. From the start we wanted it to use as little energy and as few new materials as possible, without being cold, cramped or expensive to stay in. The full story sets out what we’ve done, what the numbers are, and where we still fall short.
Tŷ Cwch is built from reused shipping containers, clad in local larch and fitted out with upcycled furniture.
It uses 38.6 kWh per square metre per year, 33% below the CIBSE benchmark, and all our electricity comes from Good Energy on a 100% renewable tariff.
Twelve guests share one kitchen and living room, which uses far less energy than three separate cottages.
We keep water use down, recycle what we can, and have a drying room so wet kit stays out of the Cabins.
There’s a 7kW EV charger on site, £50 off if you hire an EV to get here, and the coast path and buses mean you can leave the car parked.
Our Green Tourism Gold award is an independent assessment we have to keep earning.
