Ty Hyfryd is a deceptively large, pet friendly family home on Plunch Lane in Thistleboon, a popular residential area of Mumbles lying between the beaches of Langland and Limeslade.

Sleeping 10, the property caters well for children thanks to a fun kids' bunk room, but with a maximum of 7 adults. There are 4 further bedrooms, one providing ease of access on the ground floor, with 3 bathrooms in the house, plus one garage ‘wet room’, perfect when returning from the beach. As well as two sitting rooms, an open kitchen and dining area, and a practical back garden and sun deck, there’s also an EV charging point accessed from the large front parking area.

About Ty Hyfryd

Ty Hyfryd is a deceptively large, pet friendly family home on Plunch Lane in Thistleboon, a popular residential area of Mumbles lying between the beaches of Langland and Limeslade.

It offers a family or large group a combination of fun and function with the option to walk in either direction to reach the rocky bays of Limeslade and Bracelet, great for rock-pooling and on to the Pier at Mumbles Head, or around the coastal path to the sandy delights of Rotherslade and Langland. A giant playground is a stone's throw away, not to forget the Castellamare restaurant, pizza cafe and ice cream parlour with another little gem of a cafe, Fortes, even closer. For more restaurants, shops, pubs and galleries, its less than a mile to the seafront area at Mumbles Village and on a sunny Sunday afternoon, there’s always Mumbles Cricket Club, just 50 metres up the road, where you can enjoy a cold drink from the bar while enjoying the thump of willow on leather.
