“The directions given to get to Pen Y Bryn should mention that it is along a single track road for around 3 miles - not for the faint hearted!”

! There were no pull in/lay by points either just one or two farmers gates. Fortunately we didn't meet anything coming the other way! It would be good to advise bookers of this, and suggest that they could approach Llanafan from Aberystwyth instead as it is a much more straightforward (and less heart stopping!) route. It only added about another 20 minutes to our journey time (coming from Telford in Shropshire). ...

It only added about another 20 minutes to our journey time (coming from Telford in Shropshire). Pen Y Bryn itself was wonderful - a real home from home, out of the way place to relax and chill. The hot tub was absolutely amazing and beautiful walks nearby added to a great week here (if only the weather had played ball.....). The owners were helpful but not intrusive and the two minor issues we had were dealt with quickly. Thoroughly recommend this cottage!

“The cottage made a wonderful base for exploring the beautiful local countryside.”

It was close to perfect and so very peaceful. The added bonus of the hot tub just makes it worth going back to again.

“Peaceful, friendly and relaxing”

My wife and I stayed here for a week and loved it, it is in a very peaceful place. The cottage is well equipped and we didn't want for anything, the hot tub was a real treat especially in the rain! The outhouse next to the tub, with shower, toilets and drying facilities was a real bonus. The owners were also very helpful with tips on walks and dog friendly places to eat. On the evening of our arrival there was a community barbecue at the village hall, everyone was so friendly it was heartwarming. A kind lady even came and took charge of our dog while we ate our food. The walk behind the cottage up into the hills is very good with great views of the area. On clear evenings the night sky was awe-inspiring. We ate out at The Glengower in Aberystwyth, the Black Lion at Llanrhystud and the Falcon Inn at Llanilar (separate review) and enjoyed all of them. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again in the future.

“Really beautiful part of Wales, stunning scenery , lovely village and kind hearted community.”

Cottage was pretty , extremely well eqqipped, very comfortable .Hot tub was amazing and we spent hours relaxing in it.The walks we went on with the dog were breath taking, Would recommend it to others.

“Because of the heat we were fighting off flies , even in the hot tub.”

The other little point was no chairs to use in the garden to lounge on .we did enjoy our holiday, and we felt they needed some fans as the house was very hot. These are only suggestions as we did enjoy our holiday. As we had two dogs we found it difficult to find a local pub with a garden so we could get lunch/dinner

“We had a fabulous week at Pen y Bryn.”

The hosts are very friendly and made sure the hot tub is kept in tip top condition. The house is well organised with lots of thoughtful little touches - including: fresh flowers in the kitchen, welsh cakes on arrival, dog towels, foot towels for using whilst enjoying the hot tub. The wash room was always warm and is a great addition to the house. The views from the garden are gorgeous, we saw red kite flying above us every day. We thoroughly enjoyed eating out on the terrace. The surrounding area is great for walks, our dogs loved exploring. I would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

“This is a beautiful cottage in a really lovely setting.”

It feels like a home from home. The cottage is well equipped, cosy and was very clean and well maintained. The owners are lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. We have already booked a return visit.
Mrs Bond February 2018

“A beautiful cottage in an amazing location.”

You can enjoy the days spent here whatever the weather. The attention to details and comfort was fantastic the owners are welcoming and easy to contact for anything you need. There is so much to do right on the doorstep of the cottage. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting relaxation, things to do and a great house to stay in with a lovely hot, hot tub!

“We were looking for a cosy comfy cottage for our Christmas break and we found it!”

! it was peaceful and in a lovely setting with great walks on the door step (the only thing I would have changed would have been to put lights on the tree.....petty I know but I love lights) the whole experience was beautiful and I will definitely recommend the cottage and we WILL be back. The hosts were wonderful and very friendly and easy to talk to.......well done!!

“Fantastic get away place, its one that we wouldn't want everyone to know about because booking it again would become too difficult !”

!!! That's how great we think it is.
Mrs Collins November 2017

“Had an wonderful week here, could have happily stayed for two as it flew over!”

The cottage is lovely and cosy, decorated beautifully and well equipped. There is a spacious garden and a lovely large hot tub to soak in at the end of a busy day. There is so much to see in the area, we did something different every day and visited some very beautiful places. The owners are welcoming and happy to help with any problems. They live close, but there is still complete privacy. Would highly recommend this cottage!

“Stunning”

Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Everything here is spot on. Comfy beds, lovely wood burner, spacious rooms & an amazing hot tub. The dogs loved it too with a fully enclosed garden. We would love to come back!

“Excellent base for exploring”

Good little cottage in a small village off the beaten track, it is well presented and very clean, the owners are friendly and helpful and respect your privacy. Booking was a no fuss affair and the owners kept in touch with directions and information long before we arrived This place served us well for exploring this area of Wales with beautiful coastlines and small towns to visit There are plenty of walks to be done (plenty of maps supplied in the cottage) within the local area If you are in the mood for driving I would highly recommend heading inland past Devils bridge and taking the mountain road through the Elan Valley, spectacular. Last but not least the hot tub is simply brilliant especially at night under the stars. We had a good stay and recommend that you visit and explore the area

“Fantastic getaway cottage”

Just beautiful! Cottage is lovely, garden and hot tub and clean and the views are incredible. Would highly recommend. Only a short drive from Aberystwyth.

“What an amazing cottage”

This is a wonderful cottage with everything you could possibly want, it is tastefully decorated and furnished and spotless. We were met by the owner, Byron who showed us around the property and explained everything we would need to know. There were homemade scones and flowers waiting for us, which was a lovely touch. The wood burning stove is great for a cosy night in and the hot tub is superb, it certainly is a great way to relax after a busy day sightseeing. Having stayed is a lot of properties with hot tubs this is certainly the best one by far. The location is great for a quiet relaxing break and the scenery is breath taking which ever way you go. We had three young children and there is plenty of space for them and us, and the wifi was great for children. I would definitely recommend this property, you certainly won't be disappointed.

“Fantastic”

Stayed here with my girlfriend and her parents as a nice get away for the week. Pen Y Bryn is a fantastic get away as there is nothing around you. You can loose your self in this cottage, as it is a home away from. Lovely wood burning fire, which they provide, logs for, extra for additional fee but worth it :) My girlfriend’s dad has now bought one just because of this holiday! Jacuzzi is awesome so relaxing you literally could fall asleep. And at night when you turn the lights off you can look up and see stars, as there is no light pollution. Views and walks around the area are fantastic and Aberystwyth is only a short journey in the car to pick up any shopping, One of the best holidays we’ve had and were returning again this year. :)

About the location

LLANAFAN

Devil’s Bridge 5 miles; Aberystwyth 10 miles.

Llanafan is a small, pretty village situated in a beautiful rural location north of the River Ystwyth. It nestles between the Cambrian Mountains and the stunning Cardigan Bay coastline and is only ten miles from the popular seaside town of Aberystwyth and eleven miles from the market town of Tregaron. Five miles away is Devil’s Bridge which has been a tourist attraction for centuries and was celebrated by author George Borrow who wrote Wild Wales in 1854. Devil's Bridge is served by the Devil's Bridge railway station on the historic narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway, which provides wonderful scenery along the ride to the coast. Four miles in the opposite directions brings you to the Hafod forest estate, with its restored walled garden and a number of way-marked, landscaped walks for all ability levels. Visit Robbers Cave to discover a waterfall carved into a cave, or wander higher up into the valley for some incredible views. This whole area boasts stunning scenery and wildlife and is renowned for walking, cycling, fishing and bird watching as well as trips to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coastline with its wild cliffs and sandy beaches.
