Reviews

A lovely, little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A superb location with beautiful views. A great base for touring the area. The friendly owners were next door if you had any problems and they gave great local information. We would definitely recommend this cottage and plan to return.

Rated by Mrs Fountain reviewed on 29th May 2016

We had a fabulous time here and will be booking again next year. The owner was so helpful and friendly. We didn't want to come home, anyone who stays here will have a fabulous holiday. We were close to all the beaches and Barmouth town was great. If you have dogs, the towns are very dog friendly. All in all a great time was had by all.

Rated by Mrs Rudd reviewed on 15th May 2016

Super friendly and helpful owners. Dogs made very welcome. Cottage well equipped, warm and spotlessly clean. Situated in a lovely country location. Spacious accommodation. We would highly recommend.

Rated by Mr Taylor reviewed on 28th March 2016

The property was outstanding with a great view from the lounge window across countryside and estuary to Barmouth. It is situated on a hillside and there is a slight climb but it's perfect. The owners live next door and they are a delight. Cannot wait to go back again.

A lovely cottage just up the hill in Arthog with views over the Mawddach estuary and quite close to an access point to the Mawddach trail. There is also a shed for bike storage that is very useful.

A fantastic cottage with all the 'mod cons' including WiFi. Had amazing views from the back of the property. There are many lovely walks near the property, (& excellent cycle routes) with plenty to see & do. We will definitely return!

Rated by Mr Humphrey reviewed on 18th May 2015

Wonderful cottage with all the facilities you could need. Great kitchen,excellent Wi-Fi, TV & a log burner (but we didn't need it!). The cottage is very clean & the beds comfortable. Views from the back are stunning. There are many walks in the surrounding area, which is also great for cycling. The owner is very welcoming & left us cakes, biscuits & milk for our arrival - a very nice touch.

Rated by Martin H reviewed on 16th May 2015

A truly heavenly, beautiful place and cottage - peaceful, quiet and surrounded by nature. There was woodland all around, stunning views from the cottage of mountains and estuary, and breathtaking sunsets. The owners are 2 lovely people who made us feel so welcome, and their local knowledge was invaluable. A most wonderful, unforgettable holiday. An amazing base to explore from. We would love to visit again.

Rated by Mrs Cook reviewed on 10th May 2015

My husband and I, and another couple really enjoyed our stay, despite the weather being wet and windy at times. There was everything you needed for warmth and comfort. The woodburner was a boon for the evenings. Excellent wifi. The beds were comfy, with quality bedding, the kitchen with the aga well equipped. The views and general area was beautiful, with lovely walks along the Mawddach estuary, and the Cregennan Lakes not far.

Rated by SUE H reviewed on 15th March 2015

The owners lived next door and were very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. I have already recommended to friends who are thinking of booking.

The location is perfect for long country walks. Bron Aber was very nice with a homely feel, and the owner made us very welcome.

Rated by Mr Parry reviewed on 28th September 2014

A beautiful and well appointed cottage with stunning views.

Rated by Miss Richards reviewed on 14th September 2014

The bungalow was simply delightful, spacious and light. In addition we had a furnished patio area where we could eat or enjoy a drink together. The house is not visible from the road as it sits quite high in the hillside amid a huge garden filled with a large selection of mature trees and shrubs. It gave us hours of fun watching the antics of the various birds and squirrels moving around. Late in the evening, in the twilight, we were privileged to see an aerial display by a colony of bats.

Rated by Mrs Priest reviewed on 7th September 2014

Excellent location for walks, close to lovely beaches and civilisation, plus variety of other attractions. Bron Aber was really comfortable, beautifully refurbished with great views of the Mawddach estuary and friendly and helpful owner.

Rated by Mrs Zollman reviewed on 31st August 2014

There is only one word to describe this property and it is Brilliant. Everything was provided and the hospitality from the owner was second to none. I will definitely be returning and my grand children would have stayed if given the chance. I have already recommended your site and of course this accommodation.

Rated by Mrs Pell reviewed on 28th July 2014

The location and the property were both first rate. The hospitality and welcome we received was exemplary, and the surrounding area breathtaking.

Rated by Mrs Anderson reviewed on 21st July 2014

Upon a late arrival we were greeted with a tray of home made cakes from our lovely host Meena (lives next door). Our first impressions were the fantastic views out of every window but especially the back of the property. All bedrooms were of a large size, which was great for three teenagers! Talking of the teenagers ... We were still lugging suitcases in whilst they had already tapped into the free wifi for their variety of electronic gadgets that they can't seem to live without. We are only the 2nd family to stay in this delightful property, but we were impressed with how we were treated and made to feel at home. We ventured out most days to Barmouth to the seaside, which the kids & our 7mth old puppy loved! So many plus point to this rental, didn't even feel I was in a bungalow. Lovely little stream running through the garden too! garden furniture & BBQ is set up for you, although didn't use. You would definitely need a car for this property as pub is a drive away along with nearest towns. This is going to be a very popular rental and I'm glad we stayed here in the beginning!
