Ty Coch Inn in Gwynedd - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The pub has one redeeming feature, the location. If it was anywhere else it would have no business. Indifferent staff serving food with an hour of waiting, sticky unkept tables. Along with everyone else there mid afternoon on a Tuesday we waited an hour for a plate of Nachos to share. We will not be returning.

This is, as always the Ty Coch. Perfect. You have to walk (or boat), its expensive, its sandy. If you are prepared for the above, this place is literally heaven.

Amazing day at Ty coch inn. Can’t believe people go through life and don’t visit here! Beach, sun, blue sky, beer and a walk to the lifeboat. Perfect day

Been wanting to visit for a long time. Quite often that can lead to disappointment. It didn't! Plain to see why it's amongst the best beach bars in the world. Truely horrible weather and it was still amazing! You need to go!

Are you aware this pub charges locals less than visitors,is that even legal,prices are a rip off for travellers.I will not be rushing back………….

Always a favourite spot when we are in the area. A couple of pints with our toes in the sand watching the fishing boats, followed by a beautiful beach walk with sandmartins nesting in the cliffs above.

You can't get a more heavenly place than this beach...somehow the beautiful surroundings make the food even more tasty! I had a delicious vegan pasty and sat outside (though sheltered) in the wind, drizzle and sun - all at once. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

We walked along the beach to Ty Coch as advised from friends, was well worth a visit, lovely afternoon spent as a family, we look forward to coming again and trying some food next time. Thanks

Visited this pub while doing a circular walk. Lovely old pub but were only serving food at lunchtime and had run out of quite a few items on the menu including beans for jacket potatoes which seemed like poor planning to me,but the food we did have was really good. Staff were friendly and helpful while we were there. Would visit again,and I think it would be even better with the sun shining as it was dull on the day we visited

Absolutely love this little place. Such a cosy pub, right on the beach, and perfect for cosy nights by the fire, warm nights with reggae music, or summer days in the sea and popping in for a pint! Lovely home cooked food, lovely beer, great people and just a fabulous pub. We come all the time as we have a caravan nearby and it really does feel like a home from home.

Been 10 years ago and back today. Good service and simple but enjoyable food nothing not to like. Its different as you have to walk there but that's part of it . Great place

Pub on the beach, what is not to like! A busy beer and food stop, but able to take a beer onto the beach and soak up the wonderful view before continuing our coast walk.

Fantastic location overlooking the harbour. Really great atmosphere inside, with a fantastic range of beers available

If you're in the area, this bar is a must visit, spend a few hours on the beach and enjoy the environment. We visited with our daughter (18 months) and found a spot on the beach a bit away from the loud music playing ourside the bar. The sand there is great, perfect for sand castles. Music is reggae focused and maybe a bit loud closer to the pub, it helps build a chilled atmosphere but there's room away from the bar if you enjoy a quieter environment. Beer seems to be mostly local (I think) with some interesting options but prices may make you feel like you're living back in London. Even the outside bar is always busy so I guess the price is worth paying. We didn't try the food but it looked pretty good, might give it a try next time we're in the area. Just remember, there's nothing stopping you bringing your own food and drinks to the beach to save your self a fortune.

This pub is nestled in a bay overlooking the sea - the scenery is beautiful. We had intended to eat here but they stopped serving food at 14.30, this was not made clear on their website which simply advertised that they were open until 17.00.

We visited on a chilly day, it was a lovely walk from the golf club with beautiful views. The pub is just above the beach, lovely setting. The pub is warm and welcoming with good food & friendly/ helpful staff.

If you like something quirky, off the beaten track and with a stunning location then this is the place for you. A generic chain this isn’t so it might not be to everyone’s tastes but it certainly was to ours. The pub is hidden from view and involves a bracing walk (it certainly was on the day we visited) along the path from the golf club down into this secluded bay. At first you’re captivated by the view and the azure blue of the sea and it’s then you spot the name of the pub written on the slates on the rear of its roof. Inside is traditional with an unusual array of lamps hanging from the ceiling, from Davy lamps to railway tail lamps. It was cosy with some well kept local ales too. The beach is literally outside the front door and our dog appreciated that and being welcome too. We will be back.

I loved it here . We had a walk and then visited afterwards for a drink , the sun was out , we could take our glasses on the beach . It was such a lovely experience . Great beers and cider too .

What a perfect setting for a cold, beach side pint! Although busy, the service was quick and friendly as they are obviously geared up to cater for the crowds. Family and dog friendly, accessed by a walk along the beach it is a fabulous spot. We saw porpoises in the bay which was an added bonus. We didn’t eat but the food looked and smelled inviting. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

It is the most stunning location and great for the family. Disappointed with the food on our lunch visit today. Other times we have been it has been too busy to even consider eating so I suppose we made progress. Nachos with pub chilli was a good size (should be for £15) but chilli was bulked out with a sweet tasting sauce which was quite unpalatable. I think if we go again we will eat elsewhere and just do drinks.

Heard about this pub from a relative who said that it was worth a visit as voted one of the best beach bars in the world! Also said it was off the beaten track and yes indeed it was as was accessed via a golf course. Good job we were on our bikes (have to scrabble low to get it through the barrier) as wouldn’t have fancied the walk 🤔 But it was worth the hassle as it was impressive. Pub a bit rough and ready but if in the area you must visit and sit on the beach and enjoy the view and vibe even though it’s a plastic glass

Mum 78 , served wine in a plastic cup she had a nice Ploughman’s on a plate. I however, had a pre-packed sandwich in cardboard box.

Stopped for a drink after a lovely walk in the area. Service with a smile and unbeatable views. An iconic location in north Wales

Great location, lovely beach and views. Really friendly and helpful staff. It was a warm, sunny day so it was busy but very well organised.

Lovely visit until the music started! As mentioned in other reviews, why the need for loud reggae pop beats? I can't believe the NT think this appropriate....why not have some Welsh language music to help develop the 'sense of place'?

A great beach location however unfortunately the staff gave regulars 25% discount which is unfair when people are on holiday and some have saved hard for their family holiday only to witness they are paying more for not being a regular, this was my first and last visit to ty coch inn just on principal, though I dont suppose they care

Stopped off for a drink after a walk on the beach. What a place. Serving food and drinks onto the beach, reasonable prices (although would happily pay double to sit on the beach with a drink and a view like that!). Friendly atmosphere. 10/10. Can’t wait to return.

Just the most perfect location. There is no road access to the pub so you have to walk about a mile along the beach from the nearest bay but it's well worth it. When you get there it's a quaint pub, friendly staff, local beers and the food we had was great. Really, what's not to like!

This pub is right on the beach and is very popular. We first visited for drinks and then came back for lunch another day. Lunch was tasty and my friend enjoyed the local beers.

Fantastic pub right on the beach at Porthdinllaen. Friendly young staff will bring your food right down to the beach for you! Good range of local craft ales. A must visit!

Amazing location right on the sea front. Lovely veranda area to sit and gaze at the sea. Staff very friendly and attentive, food lovely.

This is a picture perfect location, however that is where the pictures stop! On a pub stop holiday it was disappointing to be served pints in cardboard( not photo friendly) and really ordinary food, go for the photo it is perfect, everything else is a...

A delightful lunch on a lovely beach. We're National Trust members so parked in their car park, walked 15 minutes across the very scenic golf course, then back along the beach. We were very glad we ordered just one Ploughman's between us!

I read this place was the 3rd best beach bar in the world. I'm really surprised there are 2 nicer to be honest! Unbelievably tranquil and picturesque setting, great vibe, lovely people and great food and beer. It's no wonder its as loved as it...

We did the coastal wlk from the NT car park and this much hyped pub was a convernient stop off for a drink and snack but despite it being one of "the top ten beach pubs in the world" it was average at best. The...

Parked in National Trust car park and spent the morning on the beach, it was an absolutely glorious sunny day. Walked over to the pub, we've been once before. Had a couple of Moretti's and a cider. The bottled beer was a fiver a pop....

Terrible menu, terrible service, terrible organisation. Not worth visiting. We paid £5 for parking and had a 15min walk to the beach. The location is OK, the beach not the nicest I've seen in North Wales but fir some reason very popular. We got there...

Incredibly overcrowded and disorganised . The beach itself is ok , not even in the top ten that I’ve seen in north wales but the pub can’t handle the amount of people that it attracts . Also the menu is like something out of greggs...

Great pub on a fairly decent beach, parking available around 15 minutes away in a National trust car park, so as a member it was free 👍🏻 Walk to the pub goes through a golf course, odd car passing up to the golf course car...

Thus pub is a little piece of paradise. Nestling on the beach providing stunning views. When it's chilly a roaring fire inside. The food is pretty good too, served by very helpful staff

You have to walk to this pub, and we did so twice this week. The walk over the beach at lower tide is stunning, as is the walk over the golf course if the tide is higher, Both enjoy fantastic views and give a sense...

Top Pub in a top location. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on food (the crisps were good) but the friendliness of the staff, almost perfect location (made even better by the fact you can’t drive there) and the good choice of cider, lager and...

We walked down for a bite to eat. The setting is perfect and we were lucky to get a table inside. We enjoyed our drinks and the food was warming if a little disappointing. The tomato soup felt like a warmed up passata and my...

To park at golf club,then they walk down .And after they walk back up and come down and pick up the disabled person .The disabled person in possession of a blue badge .It seems a massive shame that disabled people would not be able to...

Wanted to go to this pub since seeing it on television.This pub has a lovely location and is a short walk through the golf course .Unfortunately when we got there was a JCB on the beach and metal fencing blocking the view and a angle...

We were staying in the area and could easily walk to this pub….only because we thought we should. How pleased we are that we did!! What a great pub!! Very, very dog friendly……which is surprisingly rare locally. Really, really friendly staff and a very cosy...

Go here whenever we are in North Wales, always nice to walk to this pub and have a pint. In the last couple of years I feel that it's lost a little charm, but we still enjoy it!

Went to this pub today. Fabulous food/drink. Staff very friendly and helpful. Such a lovely place and view.

Pre packed sandwiches and a microwaved pasty. Coffee tasted like dishwater. Totally lost its appeal. Shame as its a lovely pub with stunning views.

I have wanted to visit this pub for a while. We were staying a 20 minute drive away at Haven with our two toddlers (aged 3 and 2). Weather forecast looked great so decided to come here for the morning. We parked in the National...

Lovely old pub right on the beach Staff were very friendly & helpful Fantastic views Hearty pub grub, limited menu , don’t expect a 3 course lunch The pasty we had was delicious & would definitely eat here again Ideal for walkers , dogs welcome...

You would struggle to find a pub in Wales with a better view and location. Superb views. But take your own food. How can a pub in a location like this not serve the most amazing seafood. Beers good and the staff are friendly and...

Really nice bar on the beach - very good service, good value for money and ideal, idyllic, location. Would highly recommend.

Location location location! It couldn’t be better. Right on the beach with beautiful views. Plenty of outside and inside seating. Food menu is mainly , soup, baguettes, sandwiches and ploughman’s with a few hot dishes. We have been here 3 times in the last 5...

Really enjoyed the beer on offer when we visited last week, great to see some proper Craft offerings together with other local brews. Not cheap but comparable to other venues with the same range. Helpful and knowledgeable Staff as well. Only 4 star because the...

Good location on the beach and good beer. However, quality of food was very poor, tasteless, microwaved cheap food and seriously overpriced. Really should do better. Would not visit again and would not recommend despite the location.

Nice little pub. Very poor choice of food. For the trek that it takes to get there To say this pub is literally right on the beach front not a single seafood dish on the menu. Poor show.

Having made the 20 minute walk along the beach (reasonably pleasant) looking forward to a good pub lunch, we found overly priced microwaved sauasge rolls, pre packed sandwiches and beer in plastic beakers. Cashing in on a monopoly which is so sad because it could...

So here’s the thing, when we travel in the UK we rely on a combination of TripAdvisor and local sites to help us make good decisions on where to spend our time. This spot was highly rated and ironically we’ve been to five of the...

Had a very nice ploughmans. It was huge! Should have had it between 2 of us really. We will next time though! Bread was stunning! Loved the cheeses too especially the smoked cheese. It was all lovely.

This pub, well a no brainer to visit if you are within 20 miles. The walk down the golf course is stunning, particularly if the sun has his hat on. Staff are always spot on, and the food these days looks amazing, the ploughman’s absolutely...

We did the walk across the beach to this pub. It was lovely to sit outside and watch the waves come in. Drinks and food are expensive. However, the jacket potatoes were very tasty. Would return just for the setting.

Grubby pub. £5.30 for a can of diet coke and a soda and lime and an extra £1 which they craftily added on for sitting indoors. Take your own cans and avoid. Once down there you are captured if you need a drink or food.

A cliff top & beach walk from Nefyn gave us a thirst & a few hunger pangs, what better place to stop than Ty Coch. We visit Nefyn at least 6 times per year & we call here every time. During lockdown they made great...

The most stunning views and could be one of the best pubs in Wales with so little effort, it has such a beautiful location and built in foot fall, but instead it goes for the most basic inedible food possible and prices high to make...

Amazing location, great food and the beer was spot on too! The walk through the golf course with this pub at the end was great. The beach walk back was equally as great Regarding the pub, the food was great especially the nachos! Definitely worth...

Parked in the National Trust car park, free parking for members and made our way across the public footpath through the golf course. It’s about a twenty minute with great views of the sea etc. As you descend down to the pub set on a...

Walked along beach and back via road through golf course A lovely location. Drinks quite expensive though. I suppose you are paying for the location. You certainly wouldn’t stay for more than a couple

Absolutely fantastic inn. We walked along the beach to get there, about 3/4 of a mile over mostly sand with a little gravely area. The drinks are not overpriced for the position it’s in and the food was also great quality and value for money....

The location of this inn is second to none, right on the beach with views of the mountains in the distance. Good choice of ales, menu is limited but the food is excellent, portions are massive, last orders for food 4pm. 20 minute walk through...

Glorious walk over the cliffs through the golf course up to the life boat station, then cut back on the base of the cliffs to the beach where the Ty Coch is situated. Really cracking pub with a great atmosphere, the staff were friendly and...

It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the Ty Coch Inn through hills and golf courses but a wonderful view nonetheless. The beach surrounding the pub is secluded but fairly popular so you can expect it to be busy when visiting. Our food and...

Beautiful location which can only be reached on foot. Very unwelcoming with surly,incompetent staff. Ran out of milk for coffee, ran out of crisps. Rules everywhere, no prams pushchairs allowed, don’t sit here, don’t sit there etc both inside and out. Staff seemed pleased to...

What a beautiful location on the peninsula. The beach is secluded from the wind, has white sands and this lovely little pub is on the beach. There is a bar on the beach (outside the pub) and inside they serve food. The food is pub...

This is possibly my third visit to the Ty Coch Inn. One of the best pub locations you can come across, but this does result in it being very busy. That said, on a Saturday lunchtime, we managed to get a seat inside. It was...

Rang ahead of the to check they were doing lunches, was told yes, first come first served and when it's gone it's gone... fair enough. Lovely walk to get there with our dog absolutely stunning setting on the beach. The staff were very nice and...

We visited the inn earlier today for some lunch after being told what a good place or is. It is set in a beautiful location right on the beach. We were very disappointed with the choice on the menu, the prices charged and the quality...

Had a light lunch.. found it to be expensive and poor quality.. not much effort into making the food more appealing.. not good value and wouldn’t eat there again.. however, it’s in a lovely location and worth a walk along the beach to get there.....

We were so lucky to attend my cousins wedding and the evening event at this amazing pub. Right on the beach, with the sea rolling in, sand in our toes and a beer in our hands, with a beautiful bride and handsome groom enjoying their...

Didn't know anything about this pub,was out walking,one of the best bars in the WORLD! Brilliant views, great locals, great beer,Great on every aspect. The landlord Stuart is a really laidback font of knowledge and his dog Rudi is even more laidback! It's a must...

Lovely Sunday afternoon in the Welsh sun before all the visitors arrive, felt like being abroad and on the coastal path (great pit stop)

We were recommend to visit this pub whilst in Wales over the bank holiday weekend. Yes it was busy but the staff were amazing 🤩 we had the nachos and a few beers lovely . Keep up the good work guys ! Would recommend this...

Can only be reached from either the NT car park or the shorter and cheaper option of the golf club car park, about 15 mins from there. Recommend a sunny day and sit on the wall or beach with a few drinks. We didn’t eat...

I would like to compliment Kei for his fantastic customer service skills. We ordered 2 sausage baps & some lady !!!!! took our food. I went back to Kei to ask were our food was, he was so apologetic & genuine & offered us anything...

Being local to the area once I never got the Ty Coch hype...but years later having moved from the area after a visit with friends on a sunny day I so get it now!!! A view to die for a busy pub on a saturday...

We went to this delightful pub after a walk along to the village which is only accessed by foot to people who don't live there. This was a lovely walkers/tourist pub. Good wholesome food. We went on a Sunday so their menu wasn't extensive but...

Walked through the golf course to the pub as the tide was in. Parked near the toilets at the other end of the beach for free. Could not believe the parking restrictions didn’t start until 1st June therefore don’t bother with the pay car park...

Walked through Morfa Nefyn golf course to the Ty coch Inn. Fantastic location, pub staff friendly and food good. Another tick off the bucket list.

Lovely beer, great food, friendly staff, fantastic location, and amazing views. This is a perfect stop for those walking the Wales Coastal Path. Recommended.

Worth the walk from the National Trust car park, free parking for members and at a reasonable cost if not. Approx twenty minute to half hour walk across a public footpath through the golf course, we were lucky with the weather a nice sunny day....

Fantastic site right on the beach with stunning views. Worth the walk . Only serving take out when we visited but well worth a visit

What a disappointment, having been told by friends to visit, the only saving grace was the location. The person taking the food order was one of the most grumpiest demeanours I have experienced in a long time. They showed about as much customer service as...

Walked to, via the golf course & back along the beach. No vehicle access available. Arrived just before midday & had to wait till they opened, dead on 12. Service was good, Drinkies served from 1 bar, food at a separate bar, Note, only cards...

Lovely walk to this place on a clean beach. Great atmosphere and adapted well to post covid trading. Good coffee with epic nachos.

This seems to be a shining example of tourists being charged the maximum for minimum comforts. The toilets are unsanitary, un-hygienic and should be closed. Doesn't the landlady ever go in there?? If she thinks that's an acceptable hygiene standard I'd think twice about eating...

After reading rave reviews we felt like we had to go !! There is nowhere saying opening times and that you have to pay £5 to park and walk for 20 minutes to get to it .We paid n walked and arrive at 11:00am hoping...

No surprises here that this a spectacularly popular pub and justifiably so. I recommend you dont dwell on the drinks price board too long, just order from the clever covid one way system, sink your feet into the soft sand and dream you're in (busy)...

A wonderful spot for a pint after a walk along the beach at Morfa Nefyn. The recent updates to aid safety in regards to Covid are welcome even if, as the case was when we went, there was a positive case announced on the loud...

Arrived early to find a beach patch. Fabulous view. Beer is good, food was brilliant for the beach. Had nachos and was really pleased with the food. Actually a sharer that was massive. Very very tasty and not all soggy at the end. There must...

Pros Great beach and surrounding area Cons The pubs plastic waste litters both beaches. Knives and forks are everywhere and coffee cups wash ashore as do little plastic biscuit wrappers. Staff didn’t come around to the beach tables once to check or clear up. We...
