    Cottage was beautiful with so much character, location was in the middle of rolling hills and really well equipped. Fine for us to be in the middle of nowhere and cook in together with family/friends. House was big enough for us all to be in with big rooms and bathrooms. Lounge and fireplace was lovely.

    The accommodation was brilliant and cosy, and it had everything that you need when travelling with the family. The host came to greet us even though we arrived late and made us feel very welcomed. The cottage is clean, the beds are comfortable, and everything you need is provided. The kitchen is very well equipped and they provided us with some basics for breakfast, which was lovely! The location is stunning, we will definitely come back if we have the chance. Thank you very much for a lovely weekend getaway!

    We loved everything about Bryn Melyn, welcoming hosts, free parking, clean and well equipped cottage to name but a few. There were other facilities on site, games room, hot tub, firepit, fishing etc but unfortunately we didnt have time to try these out, maybe next time !! Great location, picturesque scenery and a pub within walking distance - Bryn Melyn is a hidden gem. Shelby, our cocker spaniel was also made to feel very welcome. Thank you Steve and Gul for making my birthday stay wonderful
