Guests say
Bryn Araul is a well-received cottage, praised for its beautiful location, welcoming hosts, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the dog-friendly amenities, secure garden, and the generous welcome basket. The surrounding area offers stunning walks and wildlife, with easy access to beaches and mountains. While most reviews are positive, one mentions issues with cleanliness and heating, but this seems an outlier.
The majority of guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, with only one report of it being unclean. This suggests that the property is generally well-maintained, though there may be occasional lapses.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and proximity to nature, walks, and beaches, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat or outdoor activities.
Guests frequently mention the cottage's comfort, including the log burner and cosy atmosphere. However, one review noted the beds were not to their preference, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally regarded as well-equipped and adequate for a comfortable stay. There are mentions of a well-stocked welcome basket and ample supplies. A few minor suggestions for improvement prevent a higher score.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly regarding the welcome basket. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are given at the hosts' discretion and may not be a standard offering for every stay.

A lovely warm welcome from the owners Cottage was as we hoped/expected having booked a rural location. As we arrived in December the welcoming log fire (pre lit by owners) was much appreciated. A very comfy well equipped cottage with lots of thought given to those staying. Thank you
