  • "A lovely home in a wonderful location."

    The views from all the rooms and the patio are beautiful!

  • "We have just returned from a fantastic week at Bro Gwylan."

    The house was perfect and the views outstanding. We particularly liked the garden and raised patio area with views across the peninsula, to the mountains beyond. The house is well equipped and the beds so comfy. The position is an ideal base for visits to Portmeirion, Anglesey and Eryri. Plus the local steam train in Porthmadog provided a lovely day out across the mountains. The local village of Borth-y-Gest is quiet and picturesque with an excellent cafe, ideal for a cooked breakfast. We loved the little footpath from the back garden down to the coastal path, with the small coves only a few minutes away. Really this was one of the best houses and holidays we have booked in the UK!

  • "Having booked several properties through Sykes Holidays, this was far and away the best one yet."

    The location was fabulous, with incredible views across the Glaslyn estuary. The house was extremely well equipped, with everything we could possibly need (apart from waste bins in the two bathrooms - just a small suggestion). The house was very clean and tidy throughout. Maybe the wi-fi instructions could be included in the list of helpful information left by the owner (we had to ring the contact number to be told where to find the passcode, on the back of the router, behind the TV). We enjoyed our holiday here so much, and intend to return again.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Bro Gwylan."

    The property is in an amazing location, very comfortable with breathtaking views. We loved the easy access to the lovely local coves, the quick trot into Porthmadog for food in the evening and days out to other villages in the area. Just a stunning part of the world. The only downside was the property was not as clean as it could be and the overflowing drawers and cupboards are a little off putting. (I couldn’t help myself and had to do a bit of tidying and cleaning but, on the plus side, I did find the iron!!)

  • "Comfortable nicely laid out property with fantastic views over the coast."

    Ideally situated for walking and near enough to Porthmadog to make everything convenient. We would definitely return to Bro Gwylan.

    Views are incredible and constantly changing with tides and the weather. Bro Gwylan is very comfortable, clean with good facilities. Fabulous walks in any direction. Just unpack, relax and recharge!

    Overall the views outweigh everything, beautiful.

  • "What a lovely week in Borth Y Gest."

    My grandparents lived in nearby Morfa Bychan and I have such fond memories of the area, so Bro Gwylan was the perfect location for a reminisce. The views are spectacular and the house is ideally placed for walks along the Wales Coast path, Moel y Gest and further afield. We had everything we needed, lots of space and the beds were super comfortable. Can't wait to visit again one day.

  • "Subject: Thank You & A Few Small Notes from Our Stay Hello, I hope this email finds you well."

    We just wanted to say a big thank you for another lovely stay at your holiday home. We had a wonderful week again — it really is such a comfortable and beautiful place, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. There were just a few small things we wanted to flag, purely so you’re aware: 1. We broke a wine glass during the week — just to let you know. 2. The boiler seemed noticeably noisier than we remember from last year, especially in the bedroom beside the bathroom. It wasn’t a major problem, but it was loud enough that Jack ended up moving to the room downstairs as it was quieter. We thought it might be worth mentioning in case it needs a quick check. 3. The coffee machine appeared to be missing the hose that draws milk from the reservoir. Not an issue for us, but just for your information. 4. The friction stay sliders on the right-hand window in the bedroom above the living room seem to be damaged. We noticed it after a gust of wind blew the window open. We did a quick bit of research and it looks like a relatively inexpensive fix (around £15), and we initially thought about replacing the parts ourselves, but weren’t sure if it might have been a pre-existing issue, so thought it best just to flag it. None of these things affected the enjoyment of our trip — we just wanted to mention them so everything stays in good shape for future guests. Thanks again for another great week. If you need anything further from us regarding the window or anything else, just let us know. Best wishes, Iain, Claire and Jack
