• "Bron Aber as a holiday destination is a very easy recommendation."

  Spotlessly clean on arrival, warm, and with absolutely everything we needed for a fabulous week on the Mawddach estuary, we were delighted with our choice. The owners are very friendly, extremely thoughtful (a welfare check and a torch brought to the door after a region power cut during a Sunday evening storm) but not intrusive. They have found the perfect balance of wanting you to have an excellent holiday, supporting that, and giving you the space to do so. With fabulous walks direct from the door to local waterfalls, across fields, the Mawddach estuary and trail or further afield to Fairbourne or across to Barmouth, Bron Aber is superbly located for walkers and / or cyclists. We would not hesitate to return.

  Lovely comfy cottage tucked away in a quiet corner of Arthog in lovely secure gardens for our dogs ,we couldn’t fault the cottage it felt like home immediately, friendly owners and some welcoming cake and milk was a nice touch , we would definitely stay again , the only slight negative was the TV and lack of channels but we took our Amazon fire stick which solved the problem , highly recommend

• "Comfortable, warm and reasonably well-equipped."

  Being able to easily turn the water and heating on and off at will was a real bonus. Good location for strolling to Barmouth, Fairbourne beach & Cregennan Lakes. Lots more, big and small, within a few miles' drive. No complaints about customer service. We asked the (very friendly) owners if they had a spare tea strainer or cafetiere since neither had been provided, went away with a strainer and a cafetiere turned up an hour later which really was going "above and beyond". Could have done with some more kitchen knives but apparently they tend to go walkabouts.

• "We loved this charming bungalow with its quirky layout."

  The owner is friendly and welcoming with helpful advice and suggestions. It is in a delightful spot with great views. Sadly we were unable to enjoy the garden due to the wetness of the week we were there. However we enjoyed the excellent walks from the door even if we did return wet and muddy after every excursion. The cottage is very comfortable but may not suit anyone with limited mobility as the entrance is up a steep slope from the unpavemented A road. The only item we would have liked was a caftierre as we enjoy freshly brewed coffee.

• "A wonderfully warm welcome from the owner."

  The bungalow itself was very tastefully furnished & decorated. In terms of cleanliness, I found it nothing short of immaculate! If your idea of a holiday involves commercialised entertainment in any form, you won't (or shouldn't) be looking at Arthog . . . If you want to enjoy a wander through the adjacent woodland or take some less energetic walks (or bike rides) along the Mawddach Trail or on the Barmouth or Tywyn beach fronts, Bronaber really is an ideal base! Arrived home only a few hours ago and I am already looking into future available dates . . . :-)

• "A much anticipated break for us - had to delay our arrival though."

  On arrival on the Sunday evening the cottage was very cold - soon sorted by switching heating on and lighting the log burner. Owner very concerned about this and we felt well looked after. Unfortunately the boiler which did heating and hot water started to produce a strong kerosene smell which caused the kitchen and bathroom to be essentially uninhabitable. On reporting to the owner maintenance was carried out on the boiler as soon as was possible and the rest of our stay was uninterrupted as the boiler was running smoothly after being serviced. Thank you for the prompt attention. We really loved the cottage and enjoyed the rest of our stay. The owners were very generous in offering to us an extension to our stay. We were not able to take them up on this, but had a late check out on the day of going home instead. This was much appreciated. Definitely recommend the cottage and would return in the future.

• "This bungalow is amazing."

  The views are to die for, it is really comfortable and very clean. It’s central to so many places to see and at night you can hear owls calling in the woods behind the property. You are welcomed with home made cake too! The ONLY thing I would say is that, it is the only place I have stayed at ( and there has been many) that you have to take everything, and I mean everything, with you. There is no washing up liquid, no hand soap, no kitchen roll, no spare toilet roll, no tea, no coffee, there were utensils but no knives for preparing food, fruit or vegetables, not a thing in the cupboards, not even a full salt or pepper pot! It didn’t deter from a great holiday but it made things a little more difficult after a long tiring journey
