Bryn Ffynnon is a well-received cottage in North Wales, praised for its cleanliness, stunning location, and comfort. Guests enjoyed the modernised facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and games room. The property's host, Dave, is commended for his welcoming nature and helpfulness. The spaciousness and family-friendly environment, alongside the beautiful views and peaceful setting, contribute to a highly enjoyable stay.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotless' and 'very clean'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to guests' comfort and satisfaction.
The location is frequently described as perfect, peaceful, and rural with easy access to shops, beaches, and attractions. Stunning views and sunsets are highlighted, although one review mentioned the sea view being slightly impacted by the hedgeline.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with ample space and a warm environment. However, a few guests mentioned issues with soft mattresses and uneven heating, which slightly affects the overall comfort score.
The facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and games room. However, there are comments about the games room being cold, the hot tub needing a windbreaker, and the absence of a tumble dryer, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
The host's thoughtfulness is well-regarded, with mentions of a welcoming bottle of wine and readiness to assist. While such gestures are appreciated, it is noted that these personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Aberdaron 4.8 miles. A characterful family farmhouse resting in Bryncroes on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales, Bryn Ffynnon is a delightful detached house sleeping eight guests. Thanks to the addition of a modern extension, the house enjoys many spacious living spaces, and even has an external games room to enjoy. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space where a backdrop of distant sea views greets you from behind the large glass picture windows next to the sitting area, creating a tranquil spot to wind down. Gather around the large dining table in here beneath the feature lighting and large beamed ceiling, after cooking up something delicious in the beautiful kitchen, where a stylish kitchen island presents a great spot to open up a bottle and toast to your holiday. Follow the vintage tiled floor of the hallway into the sitting room, here you can find a woodburning stove, Smart TV and sofa arrangement, all you need for a quiet night in. For endless fun head outside and find the external games room, a brilliant space filled with air hockey, Wii, table football and darts Next to this is an external utility room with two shower rooms, so you can come straight from the beach and wash off the sand. The long stretch of garden is perfect for children to play and your four-legged friend to run around, watch over them as you relax on the outdoor seating set behind a glass screen, sheltering you from any wind, or take a relaxing dip in the large hot tub in this tranquil setting. Back in the main house, find four lovely bedrooms, with one double bedroom on the ground floor complete with an excellent en-suite shower room, while upstairs you can choose from another double, a twin or a bunk room, served by a family bathroom on this floor too. Bryn Ffynnon enjoys a fantastic rural position on 'Snowdon's arm' but is still close to the Llyn Heritage Coast where you can find little ports, beaches, bays and sea cliffs to explore. Head down to the fishing village of Aberdaron, once the last stop for pilgrims on the way to Bardsey Island, or 'Isle of 20,000 Saints' which is now a National Nature Reserve, this delightful village has a beautiful beach which is excellent for watersports, or take a boat trip out to Bardsey Island and catch sight of the amazing birdlife and seals, with dolphins sometimes seen here too! Abersoch is another must-visit, this fashionable seaside resort is perfect for sailing and watersports and has a sheltered harbour and pretty beach, with a great selection of eateries and bistros here too. Take a photo of the famous and very photogenic beach huts in Llanbedrog before taking a look around the art centre and gallery Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw. Beautiful walks can be had around the coast by following the Wales Coast Path to explore the 'Land's End of Wales' with the routes easily broken down into shorter segments between each village. Llyn's 'capital' of Pwllheli with its exceptional marina and sailing waters, Nefyn with its Maritime Museum and the tranquil scenery of Porthdinllaen all present even more excellent days out. Bryn Ffynnon will be the perfect setting for a family holiday to North Wales.

The only thing lacking was the curtesy morning drinks, i.e. tea, coffee and sugar, and other basic provisions like salt and pepper, which are usually provided in all the other cottages we've hired. Despite that, we had a wonderful time here exploring the coastal walking routes and spending time at Felin Uchaf's lovely café. Coming home to a hot tub was a real treat! Thank you!

Dave was very helpful and responsive when we had a couple of minor problems (key safe breaking; alarms going off). The family room is the real 'seller' in this property. It's a lovely space for a large group of people to enjoy a meal and just generally to be together without getting under each others' feet. The hot tub was a bonus too, and the house has a lovely feel to it. The views over the horizon to the sea were gorgeous and the children loved the games room. We were surprised to learn that we would not have access to the house before 5 pm on the day of arrival as this seemed rather late, but Dave was on site and was accommodating about this. We also thought it a tall order to vacate by 9 am on the day of departure - especially when young children are involved and chaos reigns! All in all, however, it was a very good experience in a lovely holiday house.
