Bryn Araul

A super cottage that is in a fantastic location. The garden was perfect for our boys (aged 14 and 11) plus the dog. They loved the wild swimming spot in the river at the bottom of the woodland behind. The cottage was clean, cosy and very well equipped. There was a lovely welcome basket upon our arrival and the owner was very friendly.

Great cottage set in a beautiful location, amazing welcome basket on arrival with many other touches throughout, only saw the owners once during the whole week and that was just them making sure everything was ok, itÂ’s was perfect. Stunning river at the bottom of the garden and a short 3 min walk, would love to return the whole family loved it.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Bryn Araul. When we arrived, there was a great basket of local foods and kitchen essentials and a lovely note. The home was cozy and clean and perfect for a family. My children loved the stock of games and puzzles as well as the children's books. It was wonderful to just relax by the fire as a family and enjoy time together. The location was also beautiful and a perfect base for exploring the major sites of Snowdonia. We never ran out of things to do, even in January. Our hosts were wonderful and always available if needed for extra firewood, etc.

An absolute gem of a cottage. Could not have been happier with our choice. Owners were friendly, helpful and generous, yet unobtrusive. Garden and walks were magical for humans and dogs alike!!

Well worth the money,we will return.

Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped. Amazing welcome pack and friendly owners.

Welcoming hamper of provisions greatly appreciated. A clean cottage throughout. Wonderfully comfortable bed......so important. Quality bed linen and towels. A peaceful location and the cottage such a pleasure to come back to after a day exploring. Bird life great. Fantastic idea to have a peanut feeder right by the window. Lovely owners........what more can I say ?.

We really enjoyed our stay. The welcome basket was very generous with local produce and a homemade cake. The location was great - lots of activities nearby. The cottage itself has been recently updated with good size rooms. The garden was lovely - full of birds and a short walk down to the river which was very pleasant.

Wonderful cottage with everything you need. Home from home. Loved it.

Could not be faulted. We were made most welcome. The cottage was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed for a 2 week, self catering break. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise and the Lemon cake was so tasty. At the end of the first week we were even given a further supply of baked goodies. The dogs enjoyed the secure garden and we were able to relax knowing they were safe. Take yourself through the gate in the back garden and wander down through the trees to the river which runs with Salmon and Sea Trout. For people interested in aviation. The cottage is about a 15-20 minute drive from one of the best viewpoints for the Mach Loop. Thank you the Ellis-Browns, it was a wonderful fortnight.

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location.

Clean, warm , well equipped and quiet (apart from the chickens next door!)

Wonderful, spotless, cozy cottage. Marvellous setting. A warm welcome for us all. Beautiful part of the country,

ein entzückendes Cottage in einer herrlich romantischen Umgebung wie aus dem "Märchenbilderbuch"; das Cottage sehr geräumig, gepflegt, gut ausgestattet, besonders schön auch der Garten drumherum mit vielen Blumen und Vögeln zum Beobachten, den romantischen Wald und Bach in der unmittelbaren Nähe... die Gastgeber sehr freundlich, alles bestens vorbereitet, besonders nett ein Willkommensgruss der Gastgeber mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen, Wein usw.! Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und sollten wir jemals wieder in diese Gegend kommen, werden wir definitiv wieder in Bryn Araul wohnen!

Had a wonderful week, weather very kind to us. Scenery stunning and walks magnificent. Cottage very comfortable and homely. Perfect gateway to mountains. A big thank you for the welcome pack and drizzle cake was fab especially when eaten up a mountain. Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed the week.

What a lovely cottage – everything was perfect!! We absolutely enjoyed watching the birds and walks nearby. However, we also did the Cadair Idris which was great. All in all, we loved the stay here despite the rainy weather. THANKS for the nice welcome basket!

Thank you for a perfect week. The welcome hamper was lovely (& the cake!), the cottage was perfect had everything that our family needed.

We had a wonderful time at Barmouth beach, the Slate Caverns, King Arthur's Labyrinth,the Talylyn Railway and walk from the cottage was great garden to the disused railway was fun. We also had two excellent meals with young children at the Cross Foxes. Thanks again.

Great cottage and great welcome. Plenty to see &do. Kids loved King Arthur's Labyrinth and Craft shops at Corris. Good days out in Caernarfon, Anglesey and on the local beaches. Seen plenty of wildlife – keep an eye out for the woodpecker – it seems to have a liking for the telegraph pole outside the kitchen window!

Great base to explore a lovely part of Wales. Loved the wood to walk inand the excellent weather!! Lovely cottage with fab hamper and all comforts met
