The cottage is well maintained, clean, tidy, as everything you possibly need, it was handy having a toilet outside which was clean and handy to use if any one was using the shower or bath, having a pet had the freedom outside the property and you sun all day long

"We loved this property, which is ideally situated to visit so many attractions."
Very quiet with super comfy beds for a good nights sleep. Jane had laid out a selection of home bakes for our arrival which went down very well, she is a superb baker and her Welsh Cakes were especially delicious. We would have no hesitation in booking again. P.S. Stunning Sunsets as well.

"We have stayed at a large number of cottages over the years and this one of the best."
It is a very well appointed, clean, modern property in an excellent location., within a half hour drive of most of the places to visit in Snowdonia. Jane the owner was extremely helpful. When we arrived, although all the windows were open, the upstairs bedrooms were quite hot, and I messaged Jane to see if there was a fan anywhere that we could use. She said she was sorry, but there wasn’t, but we said it wasn’t a problem, and by the time we went to bed it had cooled anyway. The next day, after we returned from our day out, we found that she had bought a pedestal fan and put it in the house. Excellent service. We were also very pleased, on our arrival, to find she had left us a homemade Barra Brith loaf, Welsh cakes, Bakewell slices, sausage rolls, 6 eggs and a bottle of milk. These were very delicious, and much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage and have already recommended it to our friends. It is the perfect place to stay if anyone is visiting Snowdonia. If we ever return, we shall definitely book it again. Thank you so much Jane.

"The house is nicely decorated and comfortable, lots of space available."
Sleep quality was good. We had experienced a problem from numerous house flies (end of Nov, cold weather) - there were over 12 flies when we arrived and it continued until the last few days. Initially felt we were being fobbed off with the response which was unfortunate, solutions offered of fog bomb but then retracted. We were offered an alternative place to stay which was not convenient for our ongoing plans and we had paid more for this accommodation than the one being offered. We don’t really expect to be moved after we have paid for and chosen a property for the holiday planned. This matter resolved towards the end of the holiday but I do suspect this issue would have been known prior to our arrival … and the initial response was a source of irritation. We would describe the property as being domestically cleaned as opposed to a professional standard ie: staying at a relatives home as opposed to a property paid for. Skirting boards, floors, cupboards … quite heavy set dust. On the table legs the dust was so thick and black it was quite a disappointment. In the kitchen the cupboards are a little bit overstocked with plates, cups and glasses. This leaves little space for storing food as a self catered accommodation so we had to store quite a few items on the countertops. The upper rooms are also quite cold, the heating here is not so efficient. Some of the aerial TV stations we tried to watch during the evening times also did not work, the feed was scrambled (approx 9-10 main channels). Sadly with all things considered we would not stay again or recommend it as it didn’t meet our expectations.
Thank you for your feedback. As soon as we were made aware of the flies, we immediately took action to resolve the issue. The flies entered the property due to the area and the temperature drop, but we did our best to get rid of them. We hung flycatchers in the roof space and provided citrus spray to tackle the problem. We did not use the fog bomb as it was a new method for us and we did not want to cause any harm. Were not made aware of the TV issue until just before departure, We want to assure you that we were not avoiding the problem and were eager to address each issue you raised during your stay. We even offered an alternative property for you to move into if you were unhappy. Regarding the heating, the boiler was on and set to 20 degrees the entire time, 24hrs a day. Guests can use the thermostat if one of the rooms feels colder. Property Owner

"The cottage was beautifully presented."
Situated in a great position for visiting the delights of North Wales and Anglesey. The Welsh cakes and Barabrith were delicious and I would recommend this cottage.
-
"Lovely house, very clean and comfortable in an excellent location."
Wonderful home made goodies on arrival, will definitely be going back.
-
"Very well equipped holiday home, with everything that you would need."
Baked goodies left for us on arrival were a delight! Lovely setting and good location to explore North Wales.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful holiday home."
Located in a quiet area with lovely surroundings just 4 mins drive from Caernarfon. The house contained everything we needed and would definitely recommend. Just wish we had stayed longer.
-
"Lovely little holiday home and definitely somewhere we would go to again!"
Very well equipped property that is tastefully decorated and in a peaceful location yet close enough to shops and plenty to do nearby. Such an amazing selection of treats left by Jane the owner as well and they were very appreciated after a long journey.
-
"I would recommend anyone to book this cottage it is one of the best we have ever stayed in."
From the very enjoyable home baked goodies left to greet you to the laundry facilities - everything is perfect. Every detail in this cottage has been covered and I defy anyone to find a fault with it.
-
"This is a lovely, well equipped cottage in a great location to explore this beautiful part of Wales."
The tone was set by the plates of home baking which had been laid out for our arrival. I had one request of the owner which was picked up and dealt with same day which was really good. The bedrooms and living space are a good size, all nicely decorated and equipment wise there is everything you need to make it a real home from home. On three sides of the house is a field which often, I believe, has sheep in it but we had cows and calves which was another treat. The location is very close to Caernarfon with its very impressive castle and a shortish drive to Anglesey with its lovely beaches or the heart of Snowdonia with its beautiful scenery and villages. We would plan to return one day.

"Perfect cottage!"
Perfect location we had a lovely stay thank you
-
"Beautiful setting."
So clean and very thoughtfully prepared by the owner to make sure our stay was everything we hoped it would be. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage and setting. We will definitely be visiting again soon.
-
"A fabulous looking holiday home set in a peaceful location which we were looking for."
The inside of the house was decorated to an extremely high standard, with lots of thought put into it, it was a very comfortable property to stay in, a proper home from home. We enjoyed having the sheep in the fields around us. The incredible baked goodies & milk left by Jane was a lovely gesture. We would love to return to Bryn Derw in the future.

"Absolutely fantastic cottage Everything you needed was there You should be very proud of it"
-
"Great stay, an excellent cottage, everything you need provided, in a fabulous location, nice and quiet but within easy reach of attractions throughout North and Mid Wales."
Can't fault it, and the home baking we met on our arrival was absolutely gorgeous
-
"Great place, well equipped."
Owner very approachable and helpful. Really happy we chose this property.
-
"We stayed for a week as a family of 6 and the property is one of the best we have stayed in."
The downstairs bedroom and bathroom is ideal when someone has mobility needs. The beds are excellent and we all slept perfectly. Huge fridge/freezer ideal for families if you’re planning to cook in. The entire property is beautifully and tastefully furnished and decorated. The facilities are spot on and then number of towels and other essentials that were provided were excellent - over and above what we usually experience in other properties. The laundry room outside is invaluable when you have small children. The enclosed front and rear gardens are perfect for the children to play and the sheep provided something different and really enjoyable for the kids. We would 110% recommend and we hope to stay again very soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay
-
"An absolutely brilliant holiday in this lovely, comfortable house."
The only thing we needed was a fan for the upstairs room during the night of the heatwave. Beautiful accommodation, the best we’ve stayed in.
-
"Perfect for us."
They really have thought of everything. We would love to return.
-
"Beautiful cottage and wonderful location."
A lovely and welcoming selection of home baked cakes, sausage rolls and biscuits that were absolutely gorgeous. Every modern appliance available and the WiFi was superb. It was also nice to have a really good quality TV in the main room for the evening. Jane was really helpful throughout our stay and was always contactable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to go back to this wonderful cottage. Highly recommend and five stars is just not enough for this immaculate cottage. Thank you Jane.

"Great hosts super location."
Wonderful cakes on arrival everything was perfect thank you
-
"Lovely holiday cottage in a fantastic rural location, only 30 min from lots of tourist attractions (and very close to a supermarket and petrol station too)!"
Beautifully presented and very well equipped (although having one inside loo was challenging with a 4 and 14 year old)! Great host who left a wonderful selection of home baked treats for our arrival. I would highly recommend and would definitely rebook.
-
"Let me start with the negative points, there are none."
A lovely clean comfortable, place to stay. A very safe garden so you can let the dogs out and not worry if they can escape. A short distance from the coast and very well placed to visit further afield. Home made cakes greeted us on our arrival and its that sort of touch that makes this accommodation special. Its not often we would stay again in the same place as we like to explore but I will be booking this house again.

"We totally agree with the previous comments, the house is fabulous in every way, you couldn't wish for more."
Jane was a great host and the home baked cakes and savouries were delicious. We would certainly recommend this house and look forward to staying again. Thank you very much for a lovely stay Jane. Lynne

"Wow! One of the best holiday homes we have had the pleasure of staying in."
Everything we could need and more. The house was very warm and comfortable, absolutely spotless and in a great location - could see local houses / farms within walking distance but far enough away to be very peaceful. Although the road is used it is of no bother and hardly any noise. The bedrooms were all good size, we had lots of room, we slept great every night and the huge shower felt very luxurious! The sheep were in the field when we arrived and were lovely to see up close, there is great fencing up so if you have a curious dog the sheep are still quite safe. Only few minutes drive from Caernarfon and easy access to supermarkets - Tesco / Morrisons / Asda. We also found it a great base location to drive to other NW locations and visited couple of places on east and west coast of Anglesey and Holyhead as well as visiting Bodnant Gardens (you can now take dogs Fri/Sat/Sun), Betw-y-Coed and Beddgelert. Jane was a fantastic host and makes the most amazing welsh cakes - we felt very welcomed and looked after! Thanks a lot and hope to visit again soon!

When sleep calls, either rest your head in the ground-floor double or climb the stairs for an additional double and twin bedroom, with TVs for a movie night beneath the covers.
