Bryn Aber Bach Reviews

Amanda
Beautiful cottage great location would recommend and will be booking again
Really nice cosy cottage. It had everything we needed. Nestled in a quiet village, but close enough to shops and beaches. Owners pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely 4 night stay at this property! I have rated it 5 stars as it was excellent but there is always room for improvement! Ha! You are warmly welcomed by the host at this property as they live next door! They are there for you should you need something but not bothersome! They also provided access to excellent priced EV charging for our car! Upon arrival not only were we welcomed by the owner but also we were presented with a basket of goodies, home made GF brownies and a welcome note! This was a lovely touch! The property was clean, tidy and well presented. We made use of the hot tub. Lots of thought had gone into this like towels and plastic drink wear, it was also very clean. They had gone to the trouble to make an excellent guide for you to read and had included some leaflets on local places to see! We were given directions to St Cybils well! Its well pun intended worth the little ramble! We rambled further up the hill as described for some fantastic views! We had a really pleasant stay. There were a couple of things that would have made it even better but they didnt not mean we enjoyed it any less! We had to search the drawers for a tea towel, I know right! First world problem! I did say these things were minor! We found a drawer with one in! Also there was some clingfilm that saved us as we needed to make some sandwiches for a trip we impromptu booked! The sponge! Ooh the Minky sponge, now there is a dish washer but sometimes you just need to wash up your mug! Throw away that gross minky sponge and replace with some of them cheap little square green and yellow ones and throw away each time! Which brings me on to the cloths! They had seen better days! They were stained? Dirty? Who knows! Again a disposable Jay cloth would be better! The bathroom towels I washed one wash tabs and washer provided, excellent just because I wanted a fresh towel and after it had been washed it smelled fresher and was softer, I wonder if they use a laundry service? Wasnt sure but the towel was better after a wash! We were provided with two toilet rolls, plenty for two adults and a child but I was concerned that if we did run out we would have to have knocked on the owners door for more which I felt was a little bit cringe, would be an idea to leave a couple of extra somewhere. The bathroom needed a good deep clean of the grout too but again this didnt affect our stay! The water pressure is amazing! Oh there were a few flies but there was fly spray in the cupboard! Not a negative of the property just life! Positive for fly spray! Ok I dont think there was anything else and if youve made it this far well done! If you are considering to stay here or not, do it! You wont be displeased!
Bryn Aber Bach was great, if you're going to North Wales then you need to expect some unpredictable weather and to have somewhere really nice and comfortable as a Basecamp is so important so you don't end up feeling penned in by the weather. Cottage was great, with really good balance between cosy and roomy for a family of 4, plus the hot tub and fire place were great distractions for the kids when the weather wasn't the best. As an added benefit Greg and Ursula were great hosts, really considerate and welcoming. Would highly recommend.
Malgorzata
We had an amazing time relaxing at the cottage! Everything was just as described and pictured. Place was well kept and very clean. Welcoming basket with all the goodies and homemade brownies and orange marmalade was a great touch. Tranquil place to stay
Amanda
It's the second time that we've stayed at Bryn Aber Bach and will definitely book again. The cottage has everything that we needed for our week away. Home made marmalade and brownies were amazing. Also milk and crisps were a lovely bonus. Couldn't wish for better hosts. Lovely area with many fabulous places to visit, only a short drive away.
Rachael
The property was very luxurious and beautifully furnished. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The cottage is in a beautiful quiet rural location in a very pretty area. We will definitely be staying again. The homemade Welsh cakes and brownies were delicious!!!
What a wonderful wonderful little place. Greg and Ursula were so incredibly friendly and helpful, yet not imposing at all. The cottage was beautiful a real home from home. We spent 4 nights with our toddler and two beagles. Often, were on edge but the garden was fully enclosed meaning our dogs could roam as they pleased. The cottage was babyproofed very well. The hot tub was a delight and was very welcome after some long walks on the Llyn Peninsula. The amenities in the cottage were exactly as described. Weve stayed in lots of holiday cottages over the coming years but would rate Bryn Aber Bach as our favourite. We will definitely be back!
Caroline
We could not have picked a better place to stay. The house was brilliant. The hot tub a massive bonus. The hosts Ursula and Greg could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend. A lovely part of the world. We were also very lucky as the weather was amazing too. Thanks to Ursula and Greg for such a great place to stay. Definitely would come back.
Lindsey
Delightful cottage and delightful owners! Cosy, well decorated, well furnished. This cottage has everything you need and more. It may look small from outside but it's actually huge inside. We were really chilled out here and spoilt by the welcome basket with homemade goodies. Hot tub is great and private. We know the area so did a bit of travelling to local townsvillages. Would not hesitate to book again it's a fabulous place and the owners Greg and Ursula have really done it justice. Thanks for a great stay!
Beverley
We had the most wonderful time at the Bryn aber bach. The cottage was amazing. A fantastically cozy home from home. Ursula and Greg met us just after we arrived and were really welcoming. The cottage itself was immaculate. There was nothing that you could have needed that hadn't been thought of. Spacious and styled beautifully. Everything amazing quality and just what we needed. The hot tub was a fabulous bonus we spent lots of time in that after days exploring the local area. And in February's cold winds it was great to be able to hop into its warm welcoming waters after a long day roaming the beaches. Then into the lovely warm house and get the log burner going to be lovely and cozy. I particularly loved the special touch of welcome basket. The home made chocolate brownie was delicious
Lovely cottage maintained to a high standard. Every detail has been thought about to provide a wonderful welcoming stay. Great location for walking and many beaches to explore within easy distance. Thank you Ursula and Greg we hope to return.
Claire
This was a beautiful stone cottage well maintained and decorated and very comfortable. Everything we needed for our stay was provided lovely crockery, glassware and cutlery. The furnishings were thoughtful and of good quality. The hot tub is a lovely touch. The hosts were welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area. From the pre visit email from the owners to the welcome basket and card on our arrival we really felt appreciated. We would not hesitate to rebook or to recommend this property for a peaceful stay in a beautiful area
Nichola
What an amazing place I am so glad we managed to find this wonderful cottage. The hosts were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The cottage was very cosy and warm, and the welcome basket was wonderful, especially the brownies. I will be making a return visit in the near future.
I think the listing underplays how lovely the cottage is. It's very well appointed, warm, comfortable and relaxing. The hot tub is excellent, listening to birds sing while wallowing after a long slog up a mountain was great!
Absolutely lovely cottage, located in beautiful countryside and handily located for visiting anywhere on the Llyn Peninsula. It is very well equipped, beautifully decorated and has very comfortable and large king sized beds in both main bedrooms. Fabulous hot tub and a lovely welcome pack left by Ursula and Greg was much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend!
What can I say. Hosts Greg and Ursula were only too happy to ensure that our stay was as pleasurable as possible at Bryn Aber Back. If you want a chat Gregs your man, as hes very knowledgeable about the area. The property is immaculate, the beds the most comfortable I have ever slept on while holiday inn. Everything you need is supplied other than food, but Ursula made sure we had essentials like milk, tea coffee, cheese and the most amazing homemade spiced marmalade. We had good weather so the hot tub was used on a regular basis. As we took our 9 month old black Labrador it was such a bonus having both the front and rear gardens totally enclosed and safe for her to be allowed the freedom to roam in. The on site electric car charging point was an added bonus very small fee for the electricity used, as North Wales has few fast charging points, or any charging points come to that. We really couldnt fault anything with the property or the hosts, we had an absolute ball, Ursula had some really good banter with us, so friendly and helpful an absolute star. If youre looking for a peaceful base to explore this North Wales peninsula and surrounding area you cant go wrong by staying in Bryce Aber Bach, plus the scenery is out of this world. We shall definitely return in the near future, its that good. Thanks Ursula and Greg for making this such a fantastic holiday for the 4 of us and the dog. Alan C.
Had a wonderful family time holiday stay at Bryn Aber Bach. Perfect place for family of four, we enjoyed each moment of our stay in Bryn Aber Bach. All facilities given were fantastic, welcome pack with yummy brownie , clean house ,relaxing hot tub..etc.I would recommend this lovely holiday home
Kate-jordan
Beautiful little cottage, Greg and Ursula had left some essentials for us milk, butter, cheese, and a gorgeous little hamper with dog treats, and the most gorgeous homemade brownies! every little detail was thought of even the keys had little keyrings with printed pictures of the cottage! The place is Beautiful throughout, the WiFi was brilliant, the main bedroom is so spacious and luxurious. The closed garden was a MUST for us, and this cottage has exactly that, no where for our small pooch to escape, so we could sit back and relax in the hot tub, brilliant stay and already looking to book again for the next school holidays, thank you both so much !
Nicola
We have had the most amazing holiday at Bryn Aber Bach! We visited with our 7 year old little boy in late July, and fell lucky with the weather. Our hosts, Ursula and Greg were the loveliest people, and nothing was too much trouble for them. This made our stay all the nicer. The information folder was also very detailed and helpful in learning more about the area and choosing where to visit. Bryn Aber Bach is a beautiful cottage with lots of character, which has been designed and decorated to a high standard. We especially loved the nespresso machine, the wood burner in the lounge, and the gas bbq and hot tub in the back garden. The cottage is perfectly situated in a quaint picturesque village in beautiful countryside, which is a short drive to many lovely beaches, each with views of mountains. Pwllheli, Criccieth, Abersoch and Harlech are all great beaches, and we also had a day trip to Portmeirion which was magical. We would thoroughly recommend booking this cottage. Thank you Ursula and Greg
Lovely place to stay cant fault any of it would definitely stay again
Robert
Very pleased with our recent stay, the property was lovely and was equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. The outside area was very secure for our dog and also had a really good gas BBQ and hot tub which was used daily. Both bedrooms were very spacious with plenty of storage. Hosts were friendly and helpful.
Rebecca
The holiday property was amazing clean, comfortable, spacious rooms. Property has off road parking which was great too. Great base to explore from and good local walks. The owners were friendly and provided such a warm welcome. Everything was perfect for our short break away.
Deborah
Cottage was stunning. Everything you could need and very clean. Owners very friendly and helpful. Hot tub great. Our golden retriever was very welcome. We will definitely stay here again.
We had an absolutely amazing week staying at Bryn Aber Bach, it had everything we needed including a fabulous hot tub and EV charging. The cottage itself was very well equipped and in a very peaceful location with only a short drive to one of many of the beautiful beaches on the Lleyn Peninsula. Greg & Ursula the cottage owners were very helpful & friendly & not at all intrusive as suggested in a previous post! It was overall just a perfect holiday & we are looking to come back again soon!
Lovely couple, area so relaxing, but not too far away from beaches if you want them
Absolutely brilliant! We booked to stay at Bryn Aber Bach for a long weekend and my god was it perfect! Perfect location for what we wanted to do which was climb Mount Snowdon, check out the famous picturesque villages such as betsycoed, Beddgelert, Portmeirion as well as numerous gorgeous beaches. As for the cottage. I was so pleasantly surprised. The attention to detail was so thoughtful and didnt go unnoticed. Homemade Brownies on arrival yes please! The hot tub was such a treat and always on so could hop in after a day of exploring! Greg and Ursula have made a fabulous effort to make a handguide with all sorts of recommendations from places to eat to activities to do. I would 1000 come back again. Greg and Ursula live next door so any problems and they are happy to help! I couldnt recommend it enough!
Charmaine
This cottage was absolutely amazing,very quiet location in a small village but not too far from all the places of interest via car. It was spotlessly clean, very spacious with everything that you need for a luxurious stay. The garden is totally enclosed which was important for us having 2 dogs, the hot tub was the icing on the cake after a day of exploring! The owners Ursula & Greg were very friendly, giving fresh tulips in a vase along with homemade chocolate brownies, fresh milk and treats for the dogs. Highly recommend this cottage and will definitely return again in the future.
Sharon
Everything about this place is outstanding. We loved the feel of it as soon as we walked in, it was very clean and decorated beautifully. It was extremely well equipped. The kitchen had everything you could need, from hot tub towels and glasses, and the dog towels and treats were all a great idea. They really had thought of everything. The fire place was amazing! The hot tub was a welcome treat after a day out. There are so many things to do out and about. Snowdon isnt too far either. The hosts were so lovely and offered help if we had needed it at anytime. The beds were comfortable and the main bedroom is HUGE ! The other double room is also very comfortable and a nice size. Both on suite. The most handy thing for us was the EV charging it was like home from home, we didnt have to worry about anything. Thank you Ursula and Greg you have a beautiful place.
This is a fantastic property. Very cosy feel to it and spotlessly clean. It has been refurbished to a very high standard. Hosts Ursula and Greg were extremely welcoming and not at all intrusive. The hot tub was wonderful and in a secluded little garden which was enclosed so great for our dog. The beds are also very comfortable. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Ursula for the home made chocolate fudge cakes. We shall definitely be returning.
A relaxing weekend! We had a lovely welcome from Ursula and Greg who greeted us on arrival and briefly explained the area. They kindly provided a welcome basket with some essentials and some tasty homemade brownies, a very nice touch. The cottage itself is beautiful, very well equipped and clean. The information folder was very helpful and the cottage is in a good location to visit a number of towns and local beaches. The hot tub was ready for use on arrival, clean and is secluded which is something we appreciate. We would definitely stay in the cottage again when in the area and would certainly recommend. Thank you Ursula, Greg and Bella for a lovely weekend. Dont forget to visit St Cybis well, just a short walk from the cottage!
We stayed in this beautifully appointed cottage during the first week of March and what a fantastic week. The owners who live in the house directly in front of the cottage, were super friendly & helpful & had thought of everything to make our stay both relaxing & comfortable. From the lovely welcome pack to the recommendations, nothing was too much trouble. The cottage itself has been lovingly restored & is clean, spacious & incredibly peaceful with the hot tub greatly appreciated after a day of walking. There is so much to see & do in the area and we made the most of many of the nearby beaches & would particularly recommend Black Rock Sands, Hells Mouth & Harlech. We were blessed with fabulous early spring weather too so even had a trip to South Stack lighthouse in Anglesey which looked amazing in the spring sunshine. If youre looking for a high quality place to stay in a beautiful part of the UK this is the place for you & the icing on the cake is its super dog friendly too. Our border terriers loved it! We will most definitely visit again
Jacqueline
A lovely cottage with everything for a fantastic break.
Absolutely fantastic, it was beautiful. The hosts were amazing, helpful and very friendly. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. I highly recommend. We stayed for four nights and didnt want to come home. It literally was perfect. Totally idyllic and the walk up the mountain just behind was invigorating.. the hot tub was a delight at the end of the day thank you guys for a most memorable break.
Relaxing break over the Christmas period, the cottage was lovely with everything you needed. Greg and Ursula were lovely, the brownies were yummy! The cottage had some festive decorations out and they even brought us warm mince pies and something to wash them down with on Christmas day. The hot tub is all set up and ready for you just to get into. The cottage was probably a bit away from everything for us with a lot of single track roads to it but there isn't much traffic to cause a problem. The cottage is value for money and would definitely recommend it.
Cheryl
This is a lovely luxury cottage, well presented,secluded hot tub. Owners have provided info book which is brill, they are very friendly and always on hand if you need them. This is ideal for walks on the llyn peninsular and historic walk straight from the cottage to cybi's well and iron age settlement with trig point at the top of the hill
