Such a peaceful location. Lovely to wake up and watch the sheep grazing on the field outside the property. We love to explore North Wales and most places we visited were within an hours drive, with the very popular Betws Y Coed only 14 mins up the road. The house was clean and comfortable, everything you needed in the kitchen for preparing meals - we did a mixture of eating out and cooking at the house. Even had a washing machine which was handy after muddy trousers following a couple of treks. The wood burner is always an added bonus when in Wales. Although the weather wasn’t cold, when we had rain a couple of evenings, we lit it for the cosy feeling that we associate with our holidays to Wales. Host Sarah was lovely in the contact made via text and very quick to respond.

We loved our stay at the cottage! It’s really well equipped with everything you need. The location is great and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet! We would definitely consider returning again.

Bryan Gwynog is a beautiful and comfortable holiday home. I booked it for myself and 3 good friends for a girls, 50th birthday celebration base to go and walk Snowdon from. We didn’t read the location information properly so it was much more remote than we had realised - there is nothing in walking distance for an evening out, but we didn’t really mind as we booked a Tesco shop with plenty of food and cocktail making stuff. The cottage was a perfect bolthole to relax in. The cottage was well supplied with nice handwash, loo roll, dishwasher tabs and plenty of crockery etc.
