Bryn Celyn

A lovely house in a beautiful area, very clean and well equipped with more than enough room for an extended family getaway.

The owner was especially helpful when we had an issue with the oven which was resolved very quickly. We would definitely stay there again :)

We had a lovely weeks stay at Bryn Celen with 8 of us.

The cottage was so well supplied and the owners very helpful with any queries we had. There was plenty to do in the area just a short drive away.

We were a group of 10 adults and a dog visiting in early January.

The house has a great layout,was warm ,welcoming, and the owner had kindly left the Christmas tree up and a bag of wood for the fire. The surrounding scenery is lovely,the house is very near Offa's dyke. Plenty of maps and walk books,games etc..

We have had the perfect family Christmas, from the moment that we arrived and met John , until we left it was brilliant.

The lovely home had a massive kitchen with all the utensils, facilities you need to cook the Christmas lunch and for us all to gather around and celebrate around a large dining table. The lounges were ideal to relax and watch TV , the beds were very comfortable and gave us all a good night's sleep. Overall this Christmas has given all our family one of the best Christmases ever , thank you.

Lovely, big house in a gorgeous village.

We really enjoyed the stay and the owner could not have been more helpful.

Lovely property that is obviously well cared for.

Everything you could need is provided and John is an exceptional host. The beds are the comfiest we’ve ever experienced on a holiday and you will feel well rested after a break here. We will definitely be back when we are next in the area and I’ve already recommended to a friend.

Bryn Celyn was a lovely big house, well equiped for our family break.

The beds were comfortable and warm. Kitchen facilities were excellent. Unfortunately Storm Amy prevented us from using the well maintained garden and facilities. John popped in to say hello and to check the storm hadn't created any problems for us, which was thoughtful. The house is well situated for visiting the surrounding area. We had a great few days catching up with each other, lots of fun and laughter. Would you pass on our apologies to the owner and cleaners as we hadn't read the instructions regarding the laundry!!!. I didn't read the email you sent while we were still away as I assumed it was a request for a review.

This is a very quirky house, which we like and often find in our holiday cottages.

Its spacious,clean, has everything you need and a fab base for shropshire and wales. The village itself is lovely and very friendly with a small shop and local pub.

The accommodation was ideal for our large family gathering with ample space in the dining-kitchen and larger of the 2 lounges.

The snug provided a quieter space for those who sought that. It had a well equipped kitchen and the bedrooms were comfortable. The garden was an attractive added bonus. The area provided a variety of places to visit in Shropshire and nearby Wales. The owners were very responsive, when we contacted them but also respected our privacy. All in all, we would highly recommend Bryn Celyn.

A lovely village and great to have a plenty of kitchen and living room space for a group.

The house felt a little tired and lacking in facilities for up to 10 people but the garden was beautiful.

Nice property but very tired could do with some TLC

The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable, it felt like a home from home.

The beds and pillows were also very comfortable which is always a bonus when staying away. We were made to feel very welcome and the area very pretty and close to Oswestry which had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

Absolutely ideal for our base to explore the roads on motorbikes.

Everything we could possibly need was at our hands. John and his wife were perfect hosts and readily available. The village pub (and the villagers) welcomed us with open arms, fantastic. Perfect stay for the 5 of us.

Bryn Celyn is a really lovely property with everything you could need for a happy time!

The beds are all comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious. We were lucky to be able to sit outside. The chairs were great and as it was a college reunion we loved sitting there catching up on our news! The kitchen has every utensil and appliance and it was so good to be able to sit around the table and keep the chat going! All in a perfect weekend in Trefonen! Also super walks from the door! Maps and books were so useful too!

Lovely stay lovely owners we will be back

We had a wonderful extended family holiday at Bryn Celyn cottage.

It was comfortable, well equipped and the owners were very friendly and helpful when required. I would thoroughly recommend staying here. The countryside around is beautiful, unspoilt with plenty of things to do for all ages.

We had a wonderful time staying Bryn Celyn.

..fully equipped kitchen, cleanliness was exceptional and the beds were really comfortable. We would definitely recommend a visit....

Great cottage for a get-together.

We stayed as a group of two adult families, plenty of space for adults and young adults to split up in the evening and play games....or use the TVs! Lovely bedrooms, plenty of equipment in the kitchen...esp fridge/freezer space...and more than enough cutlery/crockery for 10 people. Lovely location.. Thankyou for a great long weekend ☀️☀️

Lovely property, used for 3 generations of a family to go to a big family gathering in Meifod.

Would use again

The property was a great size and location for our family get-together of 6 adults and a dog (the property is for more guests and was plenty large enough).

Good, comfortable and warm, with good facilities, enough parking and a convenient location for days out. Thanks to the owners, we had a lovely stay here.

Lovely home with great kitchen supplies ie glasses and crockery etc.

And great enclosed garden safe for dogs and children. Heating a bit erratic but that was probably user error on our part. Only niggle would be TV's not great, WiFi not strong enough to operate lounge TV and there seemed to be a jungle of cables behind snug one. Didn't try bedroom one as baby slept in there. Safety warnings should be made for dramatic drop In floor levels near top of stairs and our tall family had massive issue with light in snug being quite sharp and low. We had a lovely time but felt that a few tweeks could make the house fantastic as there is lots of space.

Fantastic weekend spent in this lovely cosy cottage.

Well organised with plenty of cups/glasses for us all. We visited Lake Vrwny and the local pub- it was nice to see it busy. Didn't try the food but they were very welcoming. Grabbed a Chinese takeaway just 5min drive away. Only very minor point was that there is only Netflix in the lounge but terrestrial TV in the snug so we all had to squeeze in there to watch Strictly!!! Haha. Owner very friendly and close by if needed. Definitely recommend! Thank you

Very well equipped with plenty of room to relax.

Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, plenty of crockery,mugs and glasses.

We had a wonderful time staying in this property - it was very comfortable with plenty of space for the 10 of us.

Good facilities and a beautiful garden. The owners left cakes and flowers on arrival which was a lovely touch and personally welcomed us. Their dogs were super cute and we thoroughly enjoyed playing with them in the garden. Would highly recommend this property and we would definitely go back!

Fabulous, everything we needed, owner John next door extremely helpful but respected our privacy too.

Would definitely return & recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great holiday made to feel welcome.

Service great when had problem dealt with straight away

Beautiful house in lovely village.

We really enjoyed our stay .

John and Carol were very welcoming, and the property met all our needs . Really well situated for exploring the area by foot and by bike . Local attractions close by to entertain our 2 yr old grandson. If you are looking for ultra modern this isn’t for you .It’s a stay in a spacious, warm , cosy and welcoming place , that suited us ( 7 Adults, 2 infants and a dog) .

It was a very nice property in a nice area.

Such a lovely property and John was so welcoming.

Beautiful village with walks all around.

The property was easy to find and very welcoming especially the cup cakes.

Facilities for a large group were impressive, large dining table etc. plenty of space to accommodate all ages, inside and outside.

Bryn Celyn is a quirky and homely property perfect for a family/ friends get together.

It is within easy striking distance of lots of places of interest and is the perfect base for those who like walking. The property is well equipped and the owners helpful. Pub and Village shop/PostOffice a few minutes walk away. I recommend a visit.

we really enjoyed our stay,the cottage is well equipped ,enjoyed our walks in the area and our meal at the Barley mow pub served by heather.

great stay

We had a lovely weekend at Bryn Celyn.

Everything was as described and the welcome flowers, muffins and nibbles were greatly appreciated! We had a great afternoon in the local pub (The Barley Mow) and ordered a takeaway from the local Indian restaurant which was lovely. All in all, I would highly recommend this property. It’s clean, tidy and had everything we needed for our weekend away. Plenty of walking and cycling routes too. We even met the neighbours who were extremely helpful and friendly.

Hi john and carol thank you very much for letting us stay in your lovely cottage we all had a lovely time there was everything we needed the the place the beds are so comfortable would recommend this cottage to anyone kind regards Linda Alan Monty and the rest of the family

Very nice home, owners were very nice and let the children play with there dogs .

some parts of the house probably need updating but was clean and met our needs.lovely village nice and quiet

We had a lovely time in this property, which felt like a real home- just right for a gathering of our extended family with small children and a dog.

There is plenty to do in the area too.

Everything was as described.

We had a lovely family weekend thank you very much.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

The owners were lovely, very kind & helpful. They live next door, so are always available. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Great location and only a few minutes from the town & Wales. Quiet, peaceful, safe.

Great property to share a family break.

Plenty of room for all 8 of us and the dog. All necessary appliances provided. Hosts on hand to help out with any questions. Good location giving easy access to Wales and a number of local attractions. Also plenty of great walks from the doorstep including Offa's Dyke.

The only problem was that there was a lack of, even, warm water in the main bathroom.

It would also have been helpful if there had been easily-accessed instructions for certain items. Otherwise very good indeed.

We loved the house.

It was cosy and great for a family stay. Plenty of room, great facilities and a pub on hand!

We had a wonderful stay at Bryn Celyn, where we celebrated a family event with three generations of our family.

Everything was provided and the village, its pub (with good food) and locals were friendly and inviting. The many local attractions such as Chirk Castle were especially welcome. A great property with an excellent host.

We went around Easter time as a group of friends with young children, a baby and dog and had a wonderful stay at Bryn Celyn.

John was very welcoming and the property was very clean. The children and dog had a great time running around in the spacious garden and the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The local pub was very welcoming and only a short walk away. We would definitely recommend and we are considering returning later in the year for a family get together.

We have just had a wonderful week at Bryn Celyn.

Owners John and Carol made us so welcome. The house is quirky, warm, comfortable and very spacious and well equipped. Beds are wonderful, so comfortable with lovely white bedding. Our family, 6 adults, 2 children and dog enjoyed the garden and local walks. Thank you for the muffins, they were delicious, and fresh milk was very welcome as I had left ours in the fridge at home! The pub down the road does lovely food. Would definately return.

We really enjoyed the stay in the cottage!

It fitted our needs perfectly and was ideal for our family holiday. It was beautifully clean, plenty of crockery, cutlery and towels for all. The beds were all really comfy and linen was lovely! The two sitting rooms meant the kids could chill whilst the grown ups caught up over a glass of wine before supper. The goal in the garden was particularly appreciated by the children! The village is lovely, with a great pub, park and masses of public footpaths to explore right from the cottage. The surrounding area offers loads of options for places to visit. Perfect base for a family catch up!

Dated but very clean house with comfortable beds.

Lounge area and kitchen both good for everyone to get together.

The property owners are so lovely and helpful you couldn't wish for anything more.

For us as a large family we found it difficult to cook as all the kitchen pots and owns seemed like they were passed on from unwanted stock and were either not practical or too small for a family of 8. Pyrex dishes would be so handy. The blue settee in the lounge was uncomfortable and not the one on the listing and there was no statement that the dog was only allowed in the kitchen and snug which was difficult as our dog come everywhere with us. We were scared to lean back on several kitchen chairs as they were broken. However John was so very lovely, the beds were comfortable, the snug was comfy and the house was super quirky, all of which was very welcome. Also the Barley Mow is within walking distance and is lovely and does a cracking Sunday roast.

Great place to stay, had a fabulous time.

Perfect house for our family new year break.

John and Carol were wonderful. Lovely pub just down the hill and great walks on the doorstep. House better equipped than my own home. The Grandchildren loved it. Would love to book it again for another family get together.

Brilliant weekend stay,great location and such a lovely place to stay

We had a wonderful holiday at Bryn Celyn, which was perfect for all the family, including dog and small children, to get together.

The hosts were friendly and very helpful, providing plenty of fuel for the fire and delicious cakes on arrival. The cottage was large, comfortable and homely and a perfect base for exploring all the beautiful local walks - thanks to the hosts for the leaflets and information they provided. The huge kitchen diner was lovely to enjoy family meals and the garden was a great place for games with the dog and children. A great place to stay.

The property is in a great location & had plenty of space for our large group.

The bedrooms were all comfortable and clean. The garden was safe & secure for the dog & was very pleasant to sit on a sunny autumnal day. The kitchen has plenty of equipment but it is a bit random - both in terms of trying to find things (pots & pans were in about 3 different places!) and completeness - there were 9 beautiful champagne flutes (we didn't use them) but we struggled to find 6 wine glasses to use. 2 things I wasn't happy about were: 1) the toilet seats. The upstairs 1 was split & the downstairs 1 was wobbly 2) the kitchen cupboard doors - most were battered & scratched & many were wonky, in particular the door next to the fridge & the drawer next to the dishwasher However, this is still a great property for a big family or group & the owner was friendly & keen to check we were happy. The countryside is beautiful & nearby Oswestry has everything you could need. There are many things to do in the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely spot perfect for a family get together.

Our hosts were fabulous and we felt very welcome. Thank you!

The cottage itself is really nice and clean.

Mr. John (owner) is a lovely gentleman. We love the cottage and the facilities. But the mobile network is extremely poor and the WiFi only works in the sitting room which is quite annoying. The adjustment of hot and cold water was irritating too and it was hard to take shower in both shower rooms at the same time because of slow water flow. We also could not find any place to visit nearby. Anyway we enjoyed a lot as we went to take full rest rather than going out and the cottage is the perfect place to hang around.

Bryn Celyn is a well-equipped cottage with a pretty garden and comfortable beds.

We especially enjoyed our family time in the well-lit spacious kitchen, using the large table to eat at and to play games on. The island was perfect for the 1000 piece puzzle that we brought with us. The owners gave us a nice welcome, and said to ask if we needed anything. We were very glad of their help with our flat tyre on day two! We found plenty to suit us in the surrounding area and had a good week. Thank you.

Provided the perfect setting for a week-end to celebrate a special birthday.

There were 10 of us and the accommodation was perfect for our needs with everyone having their space.

We had a lovely family get together at Bryn Celyn.

The house is fantastic for its space and general feel. All facilities were available and well thought out. With a lovely lounge and cosy snug,both with TV's there's space to spread out if needed. The kitchen, garden,patio were all so nice. Couldn't fault the place! The owners (John &Carol) are very welcoming and helpful.

This was the perfect holiday home for all the family as we celebrated a big birthday.

We were all made to feel so welcome on arrival and our dogs just loved the big kitchen where they could rest after a long walk through the fields. The beds were so comfortable with plenty of pillows and an extra blanket if it was cold ( we didn't need these as it was nice and warm). The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pans for cooking, plates for eating on and even plastic plates and cups for the children. Great thought has gone into providing everything that was needed to ensure we had a fabulous time. The garden was fully fenced so our dogs could play in the garden together with the children. We used the kitchen quite a lot because the table was big enough to accommodate all of us and it was nice to sit in there and relax with a glass of wine after a day's exploring. A big thank you to the owners for recommending places to take the children as this was so helpful. The home was spotlessly clean in every room. Thank you for the cakes, wine and milk left for us to eat - all this was polished off very quickly. Would definitely add this to a list to visit again.

Bryn Celyn is a delightful holiday home for big families and groups.

There were 9 in our party and plenty of space to spread ourselves around the home. The kitchen/dining room was plenty big enough to accomadate us all. The location is so close to points of interest in the area as well as local walks for the more energetic. We had a fabulous time and while there met our congenial hosts and their springer spaniels. I would definitely recommend this property.

had a lovely weekend break, just what we needed

Very nice last minute comfortable stay We had another property cancel on us last minute and the owners helped to fit us in asap.

Very good

Great property with lots of space, the log burner and open fire were fabulous, it was such a lovely touch to put in a Christmas tree and decorations, thank you for making a wonderful family Christmas possible!

!!

A lovely property, very friendly owners living in adjacent property.

Had a few visits from their Spaniels during our stay, which was really nice. Perfect place to enjoy a nice quiet week away, or as a base for walks. Plenty of places to eat nearby, and great choice of shops to get food if you want to cater for yourself. Highly recommended, would definitely stay here again.

cottage is very comfortable.

small shop and great pub in village. for the less agile it might be a struggle to walk up hill to the cottage. pretty location and close to lots of areas to visit. garden very well maintained. warm and welcoming.

Lovely place perfect fo large group and owners couldn’t be more helpful.

A very welcoming and friendly greeting on our arrival, the cupcakes, bubbly and fresh flowers were a lovely surprise.

After a slight mishap with a piece of furniture this was rectified very quickly and another lovely bottle of fizz as an apology, although not needed as this was dealt with with no fuss. Granddaughters made new friends with the dogs and were very reluctant to leave them. A lovely family and a very much needed holiday made special. Thank you.

We had a lovely few days at Bryn Celyn, the cottage matches the photos, is very spacious and has everything you need.

The owners live next door and checked we had everything we needed when we arrived but then left us to our holiday. We loved the welcome gifts, the fresh flowers were beautiful.

I have to say the house is great, the standard of care inside the house is top notch.

it was very well stocked in towels, bedding very clean, and the owners left us and welcome gift. I would go back again.

Excellent accommodation.

Great space inside and out. Fantastic location and excellent value for money.
