About Briallen

Tucked away on the outskirts of Bontddu near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, is this fantastic studio-style pod, Briallen. Enjoying a superb location on an 850-acre hill farm within the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, surrounded by rolling countryside and a neighbouring stream, Briallen is a wonderful pet-friendly choice for couples seeking a romantic escape.

Be greeted by a front decked area with table and chairs, a perfect spot to enjoy alfresco dining by the fire pit or relaxing in the wood-fired hot tub, complimented by the sounds of the flowing stream. Step into the open-plan living space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen, dining table for two, and a sitting area with plush sofa and a Smart TV.

The pod also features Bluetooth speakers installed in the ceiling so you can listen to your favourite tunes! After a day of exploring, freshen up in the well-appointed shower room, before climbing into the sumptuous double bed to catch your rest.

For your local amenities, head into Dolgellau, where you can dine at Royal Ship, pick-up essentials at the convenience store, picnic in Dolgellau Park, or stroll along the Afon Mawddach. There are also footpaths direct from your door and plenty of hikes in the Rhinog mountain range, including incredible views from the summit of Rhinog Fawr, whilst historians should follow the Clogau trail to the iconic Clogau gold mine.

Wildlife lovers will find plenty to discover in Eryri (Snowdonia), such as RSPB Mawddach Woodlands, and Coed Ganllwyd National Nature Reserve. For a day at the beach, make the drive over to Fairbourne, where you can bathe on the sands, paddle the shores, hop aboard the Fairbourne Railway for scenic rides, test out your swing at the excellent golf club or tuck-in to a meal at Penrhyn Bar & Grill.

Briallen Reviews

We had a fantastic stay. Everything was as it should have been. The views and isolation were incredible. Very clean and everything you would need to cook a meal plus there were actual instructions for the combination microwave oven bonus. For us, the downside was the bed and this just applies to us being of a elder persuasion we struggled to get in and out but was very comfortable and we should have realised from the pictures on the Web site. The sette could have been a bit more comfortable. Another bonus a couple of reviews say no wardrobe for clothes but the owners have found a brilliant way around this with a stand that has hangers pop out to hang clothes. Fire pit was good to sit by and pounder. Never used hot tub, so cannot comment on it. The walk to the car with belongings is not to far and there is no rush. Various animals to view made friends with the horse. All in all a very good break with no intrusion from the owners would highly recommend and cannot state how relaxing being there is.

Miss Heather Stratton

Beautiful location, clean and very comfortable, plenty of kitchen utensils etc, lovely bathroom. Decking is perfect for looking at the stars as there is no light pollution, and good for breakfast outside while listening to bird song and the mountain stream in the distance. Perfect fenced off area for the dog, who thoroughly enjoyed the freedom and was fascinated by Mrs Lloyd the cat and Dotty the pony. Area for wild flowers

Mrs Rebecca Travis

Beautiful, secluded, perfect base for walks. Allthe facilities we required, owners were lovely and very helpful. Our little Border Terrier loved it, and it was great that yhe area around the pod was fenced off so that he couldn't do a great escape. We will he back x.

Mr Terence Nicklin

Excellently presented! Well kept, excellent hostess.

Mr Adam Harper

Cosy private pod, well furnished to a very good standard striking a balance between comfort and function. Very well looked after with surrounding garden area well kept footpath and parking area. Hot tub was great, and a welcome way to relax after a walk in the mountains.

Miss Vanessa Pinder

We stayed here in Jan 25 for 7 nights, absolutely amazing Claire was so helpful, we had a leak on the hot tub which was sorted straightaway, hot tub was lovely, was very cold so as expected it did take longer to get the hot tub hot, but so worth the wait! We took a little Dachshund, she loved all the new smells, the pod is fenced in which made to easier to relax with her, only thing I would be mindful of if you have a small dog is there is a gate at the top and bottom which she could get through but she only attempted once so wasnt an issue for us, she loved it! We would definitely go back

Mrs Jo Maddock

We had a fab time in the pod. It was a v cold weekend and the tub took 4 hrs and all the wood to heat up, it was worth it though.

Mr Tom Staley

Amazing getaway! Beautiful scenery and great facilities. Only negative is that the lower feed for the hot tub was blocked so despite two attempts we couldnt get the hot tub warm.

Mrs Zandra Barker

I booked this for my husbands birthday as a gift and to say he completely loved it is an understatement, we were also able to take our dog with us and I can guarantee he enjoyed himself too and as for myself I don't usually do back to nature but I can honestly say I did not want to leave. The most beautiful place we have ever stayed so relaxing and quiet and the hot tub oh wow 5 star

Mr David Smith

The pod was as described. We was staying a week so storage was awkward but we survived. Hob was a challenge but instructions to hand and sorted. Hot tub was amazing. We have a springer who loved the freedom of the secure garden. Will defo be back. Thank you Clare.

Mr Chad Engelbrecht

What an amazing! !! Get away! Well set up, everything is ready set up to go.. and amazing location for relaxing

Mrs Lynne Lewis-rose

A peaceful secluded location, yet easy access to main road. We were able to easily continue our coastal walking of Wales between Harlech and Aberdovey and use this as a central base. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors hot tub and the whole ambience of this idyllic hideaway.

Ms Nicola Randall

Exceptional location, being remote but with all of the creature comforts. Nestled in farmland with the surrounding mountains as your vista. Yet still not far from amenities. Couldnt have been more perfect.

Mrs Christine Golder

Good location. Clean and tidy property. Really enjoyed our stay.

Felicity Mae Cooper

Great property with privacy and beautiful views. Dogs and myself and partner had a wonderful relaxing time. Plenty of logs for fit pit and hot tub, close to local amenities and activities! Would 100 recommend if you are in need of a relaxing, serene, and peaceful place to unwind

Miss Andrea Cessford

This lodge is absolutely amazing, we had such a relaxing time and fell in love with the area. The farm cat, Mrs Lloyd, became my best friend for the few days we were there and she was a real highlight. The owners were lovely and available when needed, but they let us be ourselves and made sure you have your privacy. The hot tub takes a while to heat up, so bear that in mind, but I loved using the firepit every night. Sitting out with the fire going at night surrounded by the sheep and horses was honestly so incredible. One thing to note, the roads on the way to the area could be super narrow and winding just for anyone who isn't comfortable with country roads as this is something we wish we knew so we could decide who was driving there. But honestly, the trip was incredible. We had such a relaxing time. Thank you so much to the owners for letting us stay
