Bryn Derwen Lodge Reviews

We had a fantastic stay, the lodge was perfect for our family and was conveniently located to Snowdonia National Park. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge. The facilities were brilliant. We didnt use the outside kitchen or fire pit as it was February and the weather wasnt the best. We did make use of the hot tub. All 3 bedrooms are doubles and the beds and pillows really comfortable. Would definitely recommend and look at rebooking again.
Richard
Absolutely fantastic stay in a great location. The lodge was perfect in every way. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekends stay.
Had a great stay everything you could ask for brilliant
We had a fantastic stay at Bryn Derwen Lodge. This a great location and set up for families. The kids loved it and we will definitely be returning.
Thank you for a great week, we loved the property and it was ideal for our family holiday. Thanks too for the excellent communication whilst we were there.
The Lodge is in a prime position. There were however a number of issues. Dining Room seats need replacing. Blind to Dining Room window needs to operate properly totally wrecked Bedding in Two of the Bedrooms ripped. Shower difficult to operate. Carpet to lounge area needs cleaning. Outside one of the sunbeds needs to be usable. While none of these detracted from our enjoyment of our Holiday we have used Sykes before and expected better
Lovely stay. Gordan very helpful on site.
This was our second stay at Bryn derwyn for my wife and 12 Yr old daughter oh and our lab wilson as we adore the lodge. Stayed in the cold of winter this time with snow on the last day and it was toasty warm.Great communication with owner Elaine,, and Gordon who is onsite to assist with anything is fantastic. We love the setting,hot tub is great,great firepit and barbecue area and we all played on the zip line..All the comforts inside,beds very comfy,good tv's, kitchen maybe needs more implements to cook,glasses,bowls but we managed OK.. you will love this place
Rachael
Lovely! What a gorgeous little place, a great addition to the main house if booking with a large group. Really clean and cosy, and a fabulous enclosed outdoor space that would be perfect for use in warmer weather. Thanks!
Jaclyn
Wonderful Christmas spent at Bryn Derwen lodge, we would love to come back! The beds are very comfortable and the lodge is very cosy and homely. We all said we would gladly live there! Great owners who were really helpful! Could do with a new set of bowls and some glasses and perhaps new cushions for the armchairs but it didnt affect the overall enjoyment and the magic of Christmas spent there!
Fabulous place, wish we could afford to rebook but with prices doubling for next year its just not possible. We left a few recommendations in the guest book. Many thanks
What an amazing place, so clean and tidy. The garden is enclosed which was perfect for our dogs and the hot tub was incredible. The interior of the lodge made you feel at home and had a cosy feeling to it. We will definitely be booking again.
Angela
What a hidden gem. We had a lovely relaxing stay and couldn't fault anything. The garden was great for a Saturday night bbq and marshmallow toasting round the fire pit. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. So good we have already booked for next year!
Stayed here for 4 days and had a wonderful time. What a beautiful lodge wrapped in an amazing outside area.We made full use of the outside eating area ,barbecue,firepit and hot tub and especially liked waking up with the French doors opened enjoying the view from our bed.The children's play area is a great addition which was enjoyed by us all.Just magical for us and sad to leave.Will definitely return and thanks to Elaine and Gordon for help and advise.
Joshua
Absolutely lovely little holiday. We all had a great time and were really impressed! Only little things Id mention as advicerecommend two areas of garden where the fences are low would be great if these were done so its completely enclosed for dogs. The house could do with having some cleaning spray for ease of cleaning sidestables. A couple of extra oven trays for cooking food. Apart from that everything perfect and well certainly be stopping again Thank you!
This one a little gem we stumbled upon, Great location with excellent facilities. The cottage is well maintained. The garden area was perfect and safe for our dog. Will definitely be returning.
Sandra

GreT holiday. Kids loved it. We gonna rebook if we can for the sumer. I been there twice now and gonna be plenty more times
Accomodation fantastic! Highly recommend if you want a relaxed stay stoking a log burner, throwing steak on the BBQ and taking a dip in a jacuzzihot tub under the moonlight. Owners were very helpful yet left us to it. Will definitely be booking to go back!
We really enjoyed our stay. The garden was amazing. Loved the fire pit and hot tub. Very restful.
Fantastic place which we all loved. The photo's didn't do it justice. Outside area was amazing and we had plenty of BBQ. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in in any holiday accommodation.
Hannah
As a group of friends we had a fantastic & really relaxing time in The Lodge! Beautiful house with plenty of room for the 5 of us, great facilities, very clean & tidy & all round just great. The men who greeted us to show us around were very friendly & helpful and always just a phone call away although we didn't need any assistance once as all our needs were met. We loved the outdoor facilities too with the hot tub & big fire plenty of fire wood without a charge which was great Took a drive across for a walk on Angelsey beach in the sunshine which was an easy 30 minutes drive followed by a lovely pub lunch. Perfect little weekend. Fantastic stay from start to finish & we are already looking at booking again for the summer.
This was the first time we have used Sykes Cottages but we will definitely use again! Fantastic service from start to finish which aided a relaxing break away.
