“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 ...

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.

“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.

“Easy online booking system, quick response & information regarding bookining ...”

Easy online booking system, quick response & information regarding bookining cottage was everything we had expected the cottage was in a great location & was well equipped the beds were lovely and comfortable, the lounge had comfy sofas with a great tv as we loved the hot tub we booked the cottage as a quiet relaxing stay and the cottage really delivered a homely break to just rest and relax

- Mr Trimble, March 2020
“Great cosy cottage with everything you could need and the hot tub was a huge bonus.”

Byron the owner was available if needed but not intrusive and the holiday was enjoyed by us all.

- Miss Walker, February 2020
“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

“Fabulous cottage, great hot tub.”

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

- Mrs Eveson, 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.

- Mrs Browne, 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 !!!!!

- Mrs Best, December 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

“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

- Mrs Atmore, August 2019
“Wonderful holiday had, cottage was lovely & the hosts were fabulous, nothing too much trouble for them.”

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

- Ms Barker, July 2019
“The bed in one double was more 3/4 rather than a double”

- Mrs Triance, 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.

- Mr Mcdowall, 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!

- Mrs Wright, 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.

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.
