"Menna is a lovely host, we were made very welcome."
The cottage was clean and cosy and a great location for discovering the surrounding areas. We stayed for 3 days but could have stopped for a fortnight. We would definitely return again. Thanks again.

It had everything we needed and was warm and clean. Superb position for a relaxing stay.
-
"We had a wonderful week away at Bron Aber."
A lovely cottage that was perfect for what we wanted. The hosts were so helpful with lots of lovely suggestions. Think we need to go back as we just didn't have time to explore everything we wanted to.
-
"Lovely base from which to explore this beautiful haven in northwest Wales."
You'll be well taken care of by the owners and enjoy lovely walks.. in hills, forests, by lakes and along vast sandy beaches.

"The property was lovely - couldn't fault it."
Kitchen roomy, and enough cooking equipment. Beds and lounge area very comfortable. There was a pretty garden, ideal for the dog. Views from the lounge beautiful. Pleasant beaches nearby, and not too far from exploring the Snowdon area too. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The only small thing ... it might be helpful to have some brochures/suggestions of nearby attractions, but appreciate that might not be Covid acceptable.

"Bron Aber is a lovely property."
Nice quiet place to relax after a day out and about. Menna the host is lovely and made sure we were ok for everything. Would definitely recommend.
-
"This is my second stay at Bron Aber and both stays have been a great experience."
The house is well placed close to Barmouth, Bala Lakes, Harlic and Tywyn amongst others destinations to visit. The scenery is spectacular everywhere you look. I would highly recommend this accommodation. The hosts are lovely people, very welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the outset, close to hand if needed but otherwise you are left to enjoy house and gardens.
-
"We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful cottage, the garden is just stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife in it."
Lots of walks right from the doorstep. A 10 minute walk takes you to a fabulous waterfall. The cottage was absolutely spotless and very comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owners who live next door were very welcoming and most helpful. We will definitely visit again!

"Great host, property and location."

"Our second visit and definitely not the last."
This is our place, and here we feel like home. When we leave, we already miss it. Meena and Frank are very kind, helpful owners. I recommend it with all my heart.

"A lovely home in a great position for exploring the area with local footpaths and cycle trails."

"Beautiful location, though not easy access from the main road."
Perhaps add a few more details to “getting there.” The owner was so thoughtful and helpful, child and pet friendly, too.
-

"This bungalow is amazing."
The views are to die for, it is really comfortable and very clean. It’s central to so many places to see and at night you can hear owls calling in the woods behind the property. You are welcomed with home made cake too! The ONLY thing I would say is that, it is the only place I have stayed at ( and there has been many) that you have to take everything, and I mean everything, with you. There is no washing up liquid, no hand soap, no kitchen roll, no spare toilet roll, no tea, no coffee, there were utensils but no knives for preparing food, fruit or vegetables, not a thing in the cupboards, not even a full salt or pepper pot! It didn’t deter from a great holiday but it made things a little more difficult after a long tiring journey
-
"Excellent lounge particularly with a large patio window overlooking the hills and countryside."
In addition it had the afternoon/evening sun shinning though and on a clear day a wonderful sunset over the distant mountains. Lots of lovely walks nearby and a number of steam railways to enjoy. The owner, Mrs Jones, living next door, was very helpful.
-
"Bron Aber far exceeded my expectations - Although when I rang Sykes to add one other person you failed to tell the property owner."
However the owner apologised for this and the bed was made up in ten minutes - Menna was and is outstanding would highly recommend this property and we are looking forward to rebooking again
