"For the price of 4 nights, was disappointed."
Beds were comfortable, but had to leave a day early, as invested with flies
Thank you for your feedback for Braich-Y-Celyn Lodge. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the property, the pricing is agreed by Sykes and we are competitive within the local area. If we had been made aware of the fly issue we would have been happy to attend to resolve the issue, however, you did not make us aware of this at the time. We can confirm that there are no issues with flies or any infestations at Braich-Y-Celyn Lodge. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage and great location."
Bonus having a car parking permit for local car parks. Highly recommend visiting local pub/restaurant called The Riverside in Pennal, the food and the service there is outstanding.

"Firstly on arrival, having just driven almost 300 miles; all we wanted was a hot drink, there was nothing in the cottage at all, we've stayed in numerous cottages across the country and this is the 1st time we've never had a complementary tea/coffee/milk left."
Bearing in mind it's a Sunday in Wales we had to get back in the car and go on a hunt for a shop still open.
The cottage did have clean bed linen and towels but the place looked as if it hadn't been hoovered since the last visitors left, there was coal dirt all over the lounge floor, woodlice and a slug/snail trail across the floor and lounge wall. There were cobwebs in nearly every room. I attempted to hoover which was virtually impossible as it didn't have a carpet attachment! The bath still had a soap ring around it from the last visitors.
There is no chance of walking to the village as there is no footpath or lighting along the 60mph road.
One of the bedrooms has some kind of extraction unit which is running continuously.
The overall experience and comfort was not what we were expecting, to the extent that we left 2 days early cutting our holiday short.

"Property is cosy with stunning views over the estuary."
We had a great week and would go back. The wood burner is lovely and the facilities are easy to use. Bring roasting/baking dishes if that is your plan, also a cafetière if you drink coffee. No bbq but we brought our own travel one to use on the patio area. A great place to eat is Salt Marsh Kitchen in Twyn. The book of walks in the property is useful and we did several lovely ones- particularly recommend the hike to Bearded Lake. My friend felt the twin bedroom she stayed in was a bit damp, although my room was fine. The property is set against the hillside so doubtless that is common. All in all, views to die for and cosy interior, would recommend.

"When I booked the cottage I was aware it was a mile into Aberdovey but wasn’t made aware that you couldn’t actually walk in as the roads were too narrow and there were no paths, I would not have booked this cottage had I known that."
The ‘garden’ area where the table and chairs are is not a welcoming area, it’s badly neglected and needs some TLC.

"Lovely stone cottage situated in a quiet spot overlooking the beautiful estuary."
The views are incredible and always changing depending on the tides and weather. It was very restful sitting on the patio in the sunshine watching the views and estuary birds. Good use has been made of the space and the facilities were good with little luxuries like the wine cooler and heated towel rail. The underfloor heating was very comfortable and we didnt need any additional heating during our stay. Thanks for the welcoming bottle of wine - we enjoyed it. Aberdovey is a nice little seaside village and is centrally situated for visits to neighbouring market towns and seaside resorts. Thank you for a very nice stay.

"The lodge is a wonderfully homely and comfortable dwelling in a superb location with stunning views."
Our only complaint is that we didn't book for another week! The description of amenities within the Lodge was spot on and everything you could possibly require is catered for. The little touches give the Lodge that cosy and much loved feel. The surrounding villages are picturesque and we would definitely like to rebook this cottage by the sea. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you fora wonderful stay.

"Excellent choice great views over the river dovey."
We found this a very cosy cottage, even though on the main A493 did not notice the traffic at all very quite at night. Well place cottage for driving Snowdonia & mid Wales. We stop here back in 2011 and we still talk about the Braich Y Celyn Lodge.
