We had a fabulous stay at Bryn Hyfryd, the house was well equipped and met our needs as a family of 6 very well. The owner was responsive to any questions and was very helpful. The house is in a beautiful location, with forest walks on the door step. The views from the decking and hot tub are stunning, very much enjoyed morning coffees, afternoons relaxing and evenings taking in the surroundings, which included seeing sheep and cows daily. Beautiful house would highly recommend.

Bryn Hyfryd was absolutely beautiful! Its a lovely cottage in a great location, and the perfect spot to celebrate my friends 40th birthday! Iolo, the cottage owner, was fab - extremely responsive and helpful, even when we turned up with just 5 minutes notice! I would just highlight that we did struggle with accesibility into and around the cottage. One of our party is disabled with mobility problems, and we chose this place as the listing stated there is a ground floor bedroom, although it does later state there are upstairs bedrooms. On arrival, we discovered that all 3 bedrooms are upstairs and there are also around 5 deep steps to the cottage front door, and my friend really struggled with this. Dont let this put you off! Id just advise checking any accesibility requirements directly before booking. Otherwise, a lovely stay in a tranquil place!

A fabulous stay. Well equipped cottage. Drive up to the cottage is a little scary at night due to the remote location. Hot tub a bonus!
