“What a stunning cottage,amazing location.”

Everything you need is there. Hot tub is massive and very good after a day exploring. The garden was great for our large deerhound no escape points. Had no problems with hot water as in previous reviews. Only problem we had a week wasn’t long enough. Compliments to the owner who left a lovely welcome package. Would really recommend,and would definitely book again. Even had a low level fly by off a f16 fighter plane on our day of departure

Rosanna July 2021

“Our family absolutely loved this gem of a house and view and the highlight was most definitely the huge hot tub.”

Llanafan is a tiny little village (no shops) which is a 20 min car ride into Aber so you really feel you're getting away from it all. The property is so private too, nobody looking into you. It's a 10 min ride to Devil's Bridge and Hafod Estate, both would recommend. Also 10 min drive to Y Ffarmer gastro pub. If we ever plan to travel to the area or know anyone else would highly recommend.

“Great cottage with hot tub, fantastic views, lots of walks with the dogs, only one improvement for us would have been non stick frying pans, as we cooked every night.”

- Sandra, July 2021
Paul June 2021

“We had some privacy issues most days, with workers mainly at the rear of the property.”

The showers temperature control needs addressing. Everything else was very good

“Pen y Bryn is a pure delight.”

The location is rural set in a small village with stunning views from the house and garden. The house is immaculate with a lovely garden with shrubs and trees. Just the place to relax with a coffee taking in the views. The kitchen is well equipped and a lovely welcome pack on the table when we arrived. The living room is comfortable with beautiful views through the patio doors and a wood stove for a cosy night. The bed was very comfy and again a lovely view of the mountain opposite. Loads of lovely walks in the area and our dog loved the garden as much as us. Oh and the hot tub. So relaxing and secluded between the main house and utility. We had a small issue with the boiler and contacted Byron who was with us in less than 15 minutes. Sorted out and very pleasant. If you are looking for a lovely peaceful destination Pen y Bryn is a must.

“Lovely spot, so peaceful.”

Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the view from the house is perfect. A little fenced in garden was perfect for keeping the dog in. We enjoyed relaxing in the hottub too. Had an amazing stay at this cottage, the owners were so welcoming left a little gift for us on arrival. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners couldn't do enough and even offered a little pony ride for my children, which was a lovely surprise and really kind of them. Would recommend the cottage to anyone wanted a relaxing break. Great for families, children and pets, but would also be perfect for a couple wanting a relaxing break.

Boglarka September 2020

“We had a lovely time with in Pen Y Bryn cottage.”

Bryan was very helpful during our stay. The cottage is a perfect place for a family holiday or just hide away from the general work/ life stress. I am always keen to rent an isolated spot and i was so happy that the cottage garden were out of the sight overlooking to the beautiful landscape. Our dog enjoyed the garden and the walks in the pine forest which were just 15 minutes away by walk.

- Boglarka, September 2020
Jane August 2020

“We had a lovely stay at Pen Y Bryn.”

The heat had been put on for us so we arrived to a lovely warm house. The cottage was spotless. There were comprehensive instructions for everything we needed to learn how to use and also a really helpful video. A couple of very minor issues were resolved by the owners quickly and efficiently. If we had one small concern it was that only one bed had been made up which is fine as there were two of us, but we would have preferred another set of bedding just in case. A welcome pack is left containing washing tablets and dishwasher tablets but if you intend to do more than four loads of washing you may wish to take some extra liquid/tablets. That said, the view over the garden was beautiful, including the friendly ponies and the hot tub was a joy at the end of the day. There is also a very handy changing area with a shower and loo. We would highly recommend Pen Y Bryn to anyone who wishes to visit Mid Wales.

“Beautiful setting, very clean cottage with everything you need.”

The hot tub is a great edition. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here. Byron and Rachel were very friendly and helpful.

- Michael, July 2020
Kirsty July 2020

“We stayed as a family of 5 and our pet dog.”

The owner was very helpful which I cannot fault. But when we did arrive I had to use the hoover to vacuum the living room and Kitchen. As it was quite unclean with dead bugs and crumbs everywhere. I also had to spray down the work tops and fridge with anti-bacterial spray as it was dirty and sticky. The upstairs of the cottage was clean apart from hairs in the shower and on the shower door. A few dead bugs behind the little drawers and a lot of dust. I spent about an hour cleaning having arrived from Edinburgh which is the last thing I was expecting to do. Apart from the cleanliness we did enjoy our stay here especially the hot tub and the lovely views. My daughters loved the horses aswell.

“Great cosy cottage with everything you could need and the hot tub was a huge bonus.”

“Such a lovely cottage in a great location.”

It had such a lovely views and great walk just behind the cottage which our dog loved.The owners was great as we have a reactive dog and they just left us be.Garden is secure with amazing hot tub!It was lovely and clean and we booked again already.

- James, January 2020
Amanda December 2019

“The stay here was perfect for our stay, the host were great and they left you alone but were there if you needed them.”

The views were amazing and if you like horses they are right next door. The hot tub was very clean and hot the outhouse was perfect for this so your not running in and out of the main house for the toilet etc The location of the house was 25min drive to the beach and Morrisons/Petrol etc and local attractions Kitchen was fully equipped and the heating and hot water was spot on considering there was 4 ladies and 2 dogs Etc the main bathroom is in the house the other shower facilities and washing machine is in the outhouse. The only thing I would say is the garden is described as enclosed however it is but not securely we had two small dogs a Westie and a Shitzu size and they managed to squeeze out by the main gate which you shut to put your car on..and also whilst on the long lead our dog managed to squeeze her head through the gaps in the fencing..so she would of escaped again, this meant we had to keep the dogs on their lead every time we took them out for a toilet break etc..Where as if it was in the summer you’d be on the patio sitting outside which this would be very annoying and scary.. So I would say be carful with this and have a good look around as there is a road which cars can drive very fast down and not to mention the horses in the field at the rear. On the whole fabulous place to spend the New Year break, many thanks x

- Amanda, December 2019
Adele December 2019

“Fabulous cottage, great hot tub.”

Lovely and cosy with beautiful views. Very friendly and helpful owners. Would definitely book again. Thank you

- Adele, December 2019
Louise December 2019

“The cottage is lovely and the hot tub is superb especially in the cold weather.”

For us the location is ideal for visiting family in the village and getting out and about in the beautiful countryside. Just two negatives for us. The double bed in the large double room could do with a larger duvet as the small double doesn't quite cover you when your partner rolls over, bits of you get a bit chilly. The cleanliness in the kitchen and bathroom could do with a little more attention to detail. Lovely to have condiments provided but the bottles were grubby and oily. Also a lot of dirty marks on walls near to door and next to bin. Same in the bathroom, all-round cleanliness is good but spoiled by really black silicone around the shower and a lot of dust and cobwebs below sink and behind little drawers. We understand that this may seem like nit-picking but it is the difference between a nice place and a superb place.

- Louise, December 2019
Gloria December 2019

“Wish we had been staying at Pen Y Bryn for longer it was a great place with super views !”

!!Do hope to stay longer next time !!!!!

Neil August 2019

“Fantastic cottage it had everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday, having taken cottage holidays for years now and this one was right up there with the best.”

A great location overlooking the wonderful Welsh countryside and hardly any passing traffic, extremely quiet. Very secure and well looked after garden, we took our dog and she loved it. The one facility that lifted it to the top of our ratings was having the shower/drying room adjacent to the hot tub, we haven't come across this before and it makes it much easier to make full use of the hot tub without having to go through the main accommodation to get changed. We will definitely return next year if the owners decide to let it as a holiday home. Neil, Jac & Wispa

Vikki August 2019

“What an amazing holiday home pen bryn is, from the moment we arrived we were blown away, the owner was a lovely man who met us there to show us the basics there were fresh flowers, beautiful home made cake and biscuits (the lemon cake was to die for).”

The house is done the best standard even the simple things such as the furniture are beautiful soil wood, the location itself is just stunning and peaceful we loved the views! The garden is beautiful my boys and dogs loved playing in it. The hot tub wow! It was fantastic super clean and perfectly maintained we loved sitting in it looking out to the beautiful views, I loved the drying room what a great idea! My boys loved the football table! We had the most fantastic time and will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much

- Vikki, August 2019
Susan July 2019

Welcomed with home made cake and fresh flowers which was delightful. Highly recommend for a quiet relaxing holiday. Perfect

- Susan, July 2019
Carole June 2019

“The bed in one double was more 3/4 rather than a double”

- Carole, June 2019
Alan June 2019

“It would be an advantage for customers to be advised on the best travel route to the property as satellite navigation did take us down narrow single roads with no passing places.”

Otherwise a good property and location.

- Alan, June 2019
Sue June 2019

“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). 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!

- Sue, June 2019
Steven June 2019

“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.

“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.

- Sarah, August 2018
Doreen June 2018

“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

- Doreen, June 2018
Alexandra May 2018

“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.

- Alexandra, May 2018

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.
