Brynteg served our needs of walking the Wales Coast Path perfectly. The property is very well equipped, light and spacious and feels home from home. It was a nice place to return to and relax each evening. We even managed to sit outside with a glass of wine! There is a bus stop a few metres away from the bungalow and a train station a few hundred metres away so we didn't need to move the car all week. Views from the front and back of the property are stunning. Certainly a place to recommend.

The only moan that we had was that we couldnât find many pans, dishes or microwaveable containers/dishes. Perhaps a bit more attention to cleaning in some places too. The village was friendly and quaint and we enjoyed our walk to the pebble beach. Hendre Hall, over the road, served meals and drinks but only Thursday to Sunday. There was a small shop. Perhaps, a good idea would be to have some information in the property about places to visit, eat and walks. We found a chip shop in Fairbourne but it closed every evening at 7.15pm. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, especially for a few days.

Excellent support from Pete with recently broken/removed DVD player being replaced promptly during our stay. We made good use of the local train service (so nice not to have to drive everywhere); Hendre Hall (great recommendation Pete); and the small local shop (amazing range of items for its size). For anyone wanting a long beach walk try Aberdovey to Tywyn at low tide. A holiday to remember - thank you!
