Bryn Derw is a delightful and secluded cottage. Nestling in woodland and overlooking a field, it is completely tranquil. The property is located in the heart of the beautiful Bodnant Estate, with easy access to the various glorious walks along private paths within the Estate.
Bryn Derw is one of 10 luxury self-catering cottages on The Bodnant Estate, a strikingly beautiful agricultural estate in North Wales.

Come and stay in one of them - and enjoy walking on the many miles of private woodland paths winding through the Estate.
