“Lovely cottage, cosy and very clean.”

Exceptionally beautiful surroundings, really quiet except for the sheep and cattle (we really liked our fourlegged neighbours), views of mountains 360° around. Cakes, tea and milk to welcome us, so sweet. Owners are really friendly. Cottage was pretty, everything we needed was there. Water pressure in shower very poor; couldn't possibly have washed my long hairs there, and bath doesn't have a shower head. Only stayed for a few days instead of our planned two weeks due to coronavirus ...

“Great cottage.”

Well appointed. Good for those who like seclusion and the great Welsh weather. Fantastic base for exploring the Rhinog Mountains.

“Lovely cottage, scrupulously clean and very well equipped.”

It was clear that owner had thought carefully about making house Covid-safe. We loved the location but realise that not everyone likes to be so isolated. Generous amount of fuel included so we used the wood burner every evening- lovely and cosy. The only thing that would make it even better is if local footpaths around the house were clearly signed with gates that could be opened easily. They are shown on map but following them on the ground is a bit harder. Realise this may not be something that the owner can sort. Thank you we had a fabulous week.

“Perfect! We are a family of five with a 10,8 and 2 year old so an outdoors holiday is ideal, it suits everyone!”

The location is perfect and Mount Snowdon was easily accessible. The cottage has plenty of space and the hosts left us treats and milk for our arrival. The fire was so cosy in this weather. The kids loved the house, plenty of toys and places to play hide and seek. The WiFi is Good! Caught a sunset one evening, the views are stunning. We will definitely return in the summer as the outside area looked like a sun trap. Thanks for a lovely stay. The Farrar’s X

“Such an amazing place to stay .”

. it was cosy and exactly what we were looking for .. the pictures of the cottage do not do the place justice it is much nicer and cosier than the pictures show .. the little extras such as cake and milk the owner leaves for you as a guest was such a lovely touch location was exactly what we wanted (rural) if you don't want to travel anywhere this isn't the place for you .. I can't praise this cottage enough it was amazing

“Cottage : loo roll holders kept falling off .”

Grounds : This is a working sheep farm. Where ever sheep can access there is sheep poo on the ground. There is a sign in the cottage asking residents to remove shoes before walking on carpets because of this. You have to get out of the car (watch where you tread) to open and then close at least 2 gates before getting to the road. (For us there were 3 gates on Friday and Saturday). For less abled people this could be difficult as catches were quite stiff. We think there should be a warning about this for potential hirers. The views however were stunning, with meadow pipits during the day and bats in the evening all around the cottage.

“A good centre for exploring the Snowdonia National Park, both the mountains and the coastline.”

We did meet the owners more by luck than anything else and they are very friendly and helpful. They do not live close by though, and are living about 5 miles away. The Cottage is therefore very remote, which in our case was fine. We loved the surrounding scenery. I would suggest that perhaps there could be a bit more information left in the cottage other than just the glossy pamphlets. Something on where best to walk, and on where to go to eat locally would be helpful. Broadband and phone signals worked OK though download speeds are not great as you might expect so far away from any fibre connectivity. No problem with web sites for places of interest or with email. The little track from the main road is fine for ordinary cars, and not difficult to spot once you have done it once or twice. Great for star gazing as no light pollution at all. Could clearly see the Milky Way. We loved this part of Wales and our stay in Bryn Re.

“Great views from every window facilities great”

- Mrs Cross, July 2019
“Brilliant cottage.”

Brilliant place. Brilliant holiday. Owners very nice and helpful too.

- Mr Atkinson, June 2019
“Excellent facilities.”

Great location for walking. Fabulous views of the surrounding hills which ever way you looked out of the cottage. Would return again to the area and this property.

- Mrs Rees, March 2019
“Stunning cottage in draw droppingly beautiful surroundings.”

A wonderful retreat as the cottage is completely on its own, except for the sheep and cows in the surrounding fields. Wonderful hospitality from the friendly owners who made us feel very welcome. A great location with access to some of the most beautiful mountains of snowdonia. Loads of toys, games, dvds and information on local attractions. And a huge fireplace with wood burning stove - perfect for snuggling up in front of after a long day walking!

- Ms Schafer, October 2018
“The cottage was everything we expected and more.”

A quiet location close to fabulous cycling and walking. The cottage was well equipped, clean, tidy and a handy folder gave clear instructions for all of the appliances. Friendly owners who left cake, milk and tea for our arrival - yummy!

- Mrs Mitchell, October 2018
“Total Peace, tranquility, private.”

We had a lovely week here in June. Can not fault it. Beautiful private farmhouse. 360 degree views of farmland, mountains. The owners were very friendly. They lived about 10 miles away and met the farmer Bryn when he was rounding up some sheep with his beautiful welsh collie. Lovely sheep as neighbours but hardly heard them. It was a windy cool day when we arrived and when we entered the lounge a log fire greeted us already lit by Bryn's wife for us. Lovely welsh cakes and goodies in the kitchen by the kettle !! Comfy sofa, chairs, beds. Television. Garage for 2 cars and plenty more space on drive. Secluded but near many great places and towns and seaside. The train trip from Portmadog to Caernarfon on the great highland steam train was outstanding. Perfect week for us. Thanks guys !!

“Fantastic!!”

My partner and myself stayed at Bryn Re for the week 3rd sept to 10th sept 2016. The cottage is really great, (the pictures do not do it justice) The approach to the cottage is off the main road and down a farm track (give the sheep a little wave on the way) When you reach the cottage there is undercover parking with a door leading into the utility room (freezer , microwave and downstairs toilet) from that you go onto the large and very well equipped kitchen, you really don't need to take any pots /pans/utensils. Waiting for us was a welcome pack consisting of milk, cake , tea , coffee and welsh cakes a nice touch!. Next the dining room with large dining table. The living room is again lovely with a log burner (logs ready cut and included in rental cost) upstairs 3 bedrooms again well laid out with ample storage and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. There are 2 outside sitting/dining areas with stunning views. The area is lovely, you can walk around the nearby lake if you are feeling energetic and there is also a cafe (lovely breakfasts) at the lake and an activity centre. I won't go into all the places to visit there too many, but I would like to say take a trip into nearby Dolgellau lovely little town with independent shops , bars and eateries including takeaways should the mood take you. Also don't miss a visit to Borth there is not much there but the coastline is breathtaking. Porthmadog is also well worth a visit with it's long main street full of shops, although it has a very busy road running through it. Overall Bryn Re cottage is a very welcoming and relaxing base and the area has something to suit all tastes and fitness levels so if you want to go boating /cycling/hill walking or if you just want to mooch about the towns and villages you will find it all here.
