We’re thrilled to share some exciting news — Ty’r Winch Gastro Pub & Guest House has been recognised with a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2025!

This award places us among the top 10% of hospitality venues worldwide, based entirely on the amazing reviews and ratings left by our guests throughout the past year.

What the Travellers’ Choice Award Means

Every year, Tripadvisor celebrates businesses that consistently deliver outstanding hospitality. The Travellers’ Choice distinction is based on genuine guest feedback — a true reflection of excellent service, great food, warm atmosphere, and unforgettable experiences.

At Ty’r Winch, we take pride in creating a space where everyone feels welcome — from relaxed lunches and family gatherings to weddings, private events, and evenings by the fire.


A Huge Thank You to Our Guests
