Bryn Caled Cottages

Absolutely set in beautiful and scenic surroundings. The house itself was extremely comfortable for us and our two children (3 and 6 year olds). We weren't able to use the hot tub on the first night due to it being cold following a water change which was initially disappointing but in hindsight this reassured us that the water is freshly changed for each guest. Wonderful for both families and couples!

loved everything about our holiday.the cottage is spacious ,beds comfortable ,hot tub was a plus and the views are breath taking .No shops in the area so had to drive abt 12 minutes to the nearest town.Will definitely be going back

Absolutely stunning, can’t wait to go back!

Lovely time at y beudy, awkward to find at first but we did get there in pitch black. Good location with little town centre not too far away, love that it’s only half hour drive to Barmouth. only major thing I think should be done is new mattress's with a little more give in them, it felt like I was sleeping on planks of wood for our stay (other people may enjoy a firm mattress). Hot tub views are amazing but the deck is extremely slippy when wet. Only other thing to note is the hob is induction so if you plan on taking any pans of your own make sure they work on induction. Would come back again.

There was no restaurant on siteThere was an excellent pub 5 minutes drive away We really enjoyed the holiday There are nice walks close byWill hopefully stay again

totally out of this world

this is our 5th or 6th visit to Y Beudy, and it never fails to impress. Another relaxing stay as ever. we will be back again.

Lovely cottage & hot tub was a bonus with everyone - also no bath robes or slippers as described. Disappointed with the use of the water - ie 2 showers running at the same time - with being 7 of us - had to wait at least 20 mins for tank to fill up between washes. Lovely place to stay - all utensils there to use for kitchen but bring matches for the wood burner. No extra toiletry samples of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel or soap!

Amazing facilities , need more outdoor lighting for night time when hopping in the hot tub apart from that it was perfect , definitely booking again especially the same time we booked

Beds were not great but the hot tub, 2 lounges and pool table were good.

Another fantastic trip, we love it here, always sad to leave. Really lovely place, diolch yn fawr, edrych ymlaen at ddod eto/looking forward to coming again.

Beautiful holiday cottage in a stunning location. Only disappointment was paying £10 for WiFi for 4 days!

I would love this place to be our little secret :) It was truly lovely. The house had everything that you could possibly need (more). We stay here with our friends and the house was warm, clean, gorgeous. Plenty of room for two families to stay here and the pool table was a good idea! The children were never board as there is plenty to keep them occupied. Our evenings were spectacular in the hot tub. Loved sitting eating our meals and looking out at the amazing views! We will be back.

Fantastic cottage, fantastic hosts in Sioned and Gareth, the place is a gorgeous luxury old barn conversion, with everything that you could possibly want while you're staying there..
Its comfortable, spacious, with stunning views all around, as well as all fresh new kitchen and bathrooms to help you relax and enjoy your stay... and the hottub and decking area overlook a stunning view of the Aran mountainside that can't be beaten! I am a regular visitor here, and am already returning in a couple of months for my next break... i really can't recommend this place enough..make sure you book it, and enjoy a stunning break that delivers on the "wow" factor from start to finish!! 🤩💖

We have recently come back from a stay at Y beudy. Wow what a place. The lodge was breath taking the views amazing!! We was greeted by the host later in the evening on our first night with lemon drizzle which was still hot from the oven. Delish. So relaxed and didn’t feel any pressure from here. We had a trip the the Eagles inn twice which is a 15 min walk away and serves beautiful food. Defo recommended. We was informed of a lovely Forrest walk but we passed and had longer in the hot tub :-). It was simply like being home from home. Everything you can think of is covered. The log burner is beautiful and can purchase more logs if you require which we did. IF, we had to change anything we would have liked the beds to have been a little bigger and comfier they are small and creaky. And check in to be earlier and check out later but appreciate it needs cleaning in those given times. We loved every minute. Friends have already booked on our recommendation. Thanks so much!!!!! X

Outstanding place to stay and enjoy the views

Fabulous break, would definitely return. Only negative was no cake - from reading past messages it seemed like we missed a real treat.

Amazing cottage with fabulous views perfect for our family getaway for my 50th birthday

Dont hesitate to book
You wont be disappointed

As close to perfect as you can get.
Stunning location and beautifully presented accommodation with everything you will need.
Hosts were very friendly and helpful too.

The most beautiful cottage I have stayed in!

Beautiful location the accommodation is of a high standard... my only slight complaint is that you have to pay for the wi-fi .

We spent our first wedding anniversary in Carreg Y Nant at Bryn Caled Cottages and had a wonderful break. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The location is great and despite the very changeable March weather, we were able to utilise the spacious private hot tub every day. We were greeted by Sioned and a very tasty lemon drizzle cake and were made to feel very welcome. The owners' dogs and chickens were roaming the grounds which was lovely too. We had a fantastic stay and will most definitely be visiting again!

Booked again two of there cottages before we left as it was amazing relaxing time . Xx

Stunning cottage, beautiful view and surroundings! Home made lemon cake topped it off! Can't wait to return!

We had a very lovely stay at this cottage, so close to giving this a score of 10 but unfortunately a couple of little issues prevented this but if these are sorted we would definitely return:
The positives first:
love the design and style of the cottage, very spacious and everything you could possibly need was there especially in the kitchen.
The cottage was immaculately clean and well maintained overall despite a couple of things.
The owner was very friendly and even baked us a small lemon cake on arrival and introduced herself and offered advice on places to visit nearby.
The beds were very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space.
The ensuite bathroom was spacious and bath/shower was very comfortable and easy to use ( which is rare)
Alot of leaflets and good amount of advice given in the cottage booklet of places to visit and local food and drink in the area as well as discount offers.
Loved the upstairs balcony with amazing views of the welsh mountain countryside.
The owners had a couple of friendly dogs who came over to visit who were well behaved as well as some free roaming chickens and two horses in the field opposite.
The location of the cottage was brilliant in a rural area however a small drive away from the local village of bala.

Things need improvement:
It was great to have a hot tub at the cottage (we rarely book a cottage without one) however this hot tub wasn't up to our usual standards. This hot tub didn't seem well maintained unfortunately - when in use, it was only set to economy mode (which couldn't be changed) where the jets were on slow power mode and a strange loud noise was present everytime the jets were turned off, also the water feature from the hot tub handle didn't work until we fixed it.
The TV in downstairs double bedroom signal was very bad and barely watchable and the upstairs TV turned on by itself at 6am twice during our stay and wouldn't turn off unless unplugged.
A few of the spot lights on the ceiling weren't working and one of the sofas upstairs was abit worn.

However these are all minor issues and with a few upgrades the cottage is definitely worth returning to and overall one of the best cottages we have stayed in. I would give this a 9/10.

Very good break, in good facilities. Would thoroughly recommend to family and friends. NOt sure why asking about restaurant facilities...there wasn't any. Self catering cottage!!

Ideal for a nice peaceful getaway.

Our party of six had a wonderful time and can't recommend it highly enough.

We stayed here for 4 nights in August 2017.

The cottage itself was lovely, living area upstairs, with a toilet and bedrooms downstairs with the main bathroom.

Everything was clean and the cottage had everything you could need, large fridge freezer, dishwasher, large dining table, plenty of cutlery, washing machine and it was great to have a washing line outside and an airer in the cupboard.
They had a little collection of games and dvds and all the information you could need.
If you do have younger children there was a stair gate at the top of the stairs.

The beds were very comfy, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The double bedroom had patio doors which was lovely. There are TVs in both bedrooms.
My only tiny niggle was that the bathroom had attached doors from either bedroom and unfortunately the doors were quite noisy to open, close and lock.

Location was everything, views of the Aran Mountain from the patio doors upstairs and beautiful scenery all around! There was a TV with Sky etc but who needs a TV with a view like that in front of you?
My daughter enjoyed the tiny park and the views from the swing were unlike any other!
We booked this as we love things quiet and relaxed and that is what we got.

The hot tub was lovely, plenty of room for our family of 4. It was a shame the weather wasn't perfect but it would be brilliant if there was a shelter over the hot tub so it could be enjoyed even in poor weather. The garden was enclosed and also had a BBQ.

We met the owners briefly and they were very helpful and friendly.

We did have the occasional animal visit in the garden, the friendly dogs and the odd chicken! My 10 year old daughter thought this was brilliant!

There is plenty of parking.

We managed to cram quite a lot in our 4 days.
Bala Lake is less than 10 minutes down the road, beautiful place and you also receive a discount for Lake activities if you mention you are from the cottages. We had a go at canoeing which was fun.
Bala Town is a beautiful little place, plenty of shops, pubs etc.

We did the climb up the Aran Mountain which is a lovely walk, very peaceful and beautiful!

One evening we decided to go for a drive and followed the instructions in the welcome book, driving through Snowdonia National park! Our little outing turned into almost 6 hours of being amazed by the beautiful scenery! We stopped and admired and almost every turn! It was any photographers dream outing!

We took a trip to Fairbourne which was only about 30 minutes away, visited the beach and also took a little adventure to the Blue Lake which was an unused Quarry! Great adventure getting to it and very worth it once we had arrived! I have never seen anything quite like it! Turquoise water, looks beautiful in the sunshine.

On checkout day we had planned to go to Snowdon. We had never visited before. It was a lovely drive through the beautiful landscape.
We didn't walk this time as we had booked the Mountain Railway for a treat. This was a good experience, but a bit pricey if you have a large family.

I have a love for Wales and it grows stronger each time I visit! This cottage has added to my love!

If only I could move in for good!

Stunning location and beautiful lodges

Absolutely fabulous holiday accommodation with all necessary facilities. Great owners too. Would definitely return.

Wonderful cottage & stunning location. 6 adults & two toddlers under 2. I would say that although the children always had full supervision, the cottage isn’t as child friendly as I thought. The doors being the main issue, some of them don’t close properly or come open with the wind. That said, we managed it by moving furniture when needed. The cottage is huge & has 4 bathrooms. The location is perfect & a short drive to Bala & Barmouth beach. We would definitely book again. The only thing I think could be improved is the cleaning. I feel like it needs a deep clean. We found a lot of dust & cobwebs & mould in one of the bathrooms. We do appreciate however that the lovely owner, let us check in at 2pm rather than 4 so this may have shortened cleaning time.

Couldn’t have booked better the cottages are amazing and the owners are lovely, would 100% recommend this place. The location is convenient being located near Bala and only an hours drive from most attractions. There’s so much to do that we will have to come back again next year.

Absolutely stunning location, very close to Bala lovely pubs with great food. Cottage was beautiful and well maintained throughout.

we had an amazing time,,the barn is fabulous,has everything you require,then some,. the view from the hot tub is amazing. the owners are so friendly and helpful.we will definately recommend to family and friends.

We had the best time! Perfect location and views, 10/10!

Amazing place a perfect getaway lovely accommodation and stunning views

Beautiful property, perfect for a chilled weekend away.

This is an amazing cottage with everything you will need, as soon as we got home we booked to go back ?

Absolutely stunning location for a perfect family get away. The converted barn and hot tub were both so spacious for a larger party. Many wonderful and unforgettable memories made here. Would highly recommend.

Amazing holiday and experience, lovely owners but would recommend placing a outdoor light where the hot tub is as the one that is already there doesnt work and would recommend where to change the hot tub heating and indoor heating as it was abit nippy at night time

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Loved the pool table in upstairs lounge. The owners were friendly and gave us tips on where to eat and some lovely walks. Very comfy beds lovely views and large hot tub. Brilliant for 4 couples or 2 families x

Highly recommend. Perfect in every way!
