"A fantastic well appointed holiday lodge with the most amazing garden/facilities."
Cosy, comfortable and relaxing. Stuart and Gordon were friendly and helpful, and on hand daily if required. Would highly recommend and we hope to return in the future.

"It’s one of the best lodges we’ve stopped in ."
The music at the hot tub didn’t work unfortunately but the facilities were amazing.
-
"Our 2nd time here."
Hotub music didn’t work. The outside of the building is covered in cobwebs. We went round with a broom on the back just so we weren’t walking in to them. Just needs tub sorting and a really good clean. Had to filter hotub also as looked dirty. Place needs to be cleaner but a lovely spot.

"Well what can we say."
It was just perfect in every way. Stunning. Comfortable. Bigger than the pics show to be fair. Perfect location for getting out and about. Cant fault a single thing. Owners very helpful even though tjey were on holiday. But gordon was spot on. Thankyou very much for a superb holiday Steph Steve Holly and Rafe.

"What a fantastic place, I cannot reccomend this place enough for young families looking for a peaceful break."
The kids loved the little park and riding their bikes down the lane. We had a minor issue of a roof leak from a heavy downpour, no sooner had I reported it, Gordon the onsite maintenance had it repaired. The lodge was perfectly placed for us to explore North Wales and Anglesey. Fantastic holiday and we will definitely be returning.

"The lodge had lovely gardens and hot tub, which if the weather had been."
Better, would have been well used. Was easy to find the property, and it contained everything that we needed. Beds were large and comfy, the shower was good, with plenty of hot water for all four of us. The location was great for Zip World - just a few minutes drive away. Only a couple of niggles, the seats on the armchairs had seen better days, no support left in them. Also, neighbours next door were partying hard one evening, but it stopped by 11pm. Overall, a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

"We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge."
The facilities were brilliant. We didn’t use the outside kitchen or fire pit as it was February and the weather wasn’t the best. We did make use of the hot tub. All 3 bedrooms are doubles and the beds and pillows really comfortable. Would definitely recommend and look at rebooking again.

Thanks too for the excellent communication whilst we were there.

"The Lodge is in a prime position."
There were however a number of issues. Dining Room seats need replacing. Blind to Dining Room window needs to operate properly (totally wrecked) Bedding in Two of the Bedrooms ripped. Shower difficult to operate. Carpet to lounge area needs cleaning. Outside one of the sun-beds needs to be usable. While none of these detracted from our enjoyment of our Holiday we have used Sykes before and expected better
Thank you for your feedback. We want all of our guests to enjoy their stay, and have maintenance staff on site to assist with any issues a guest may have. We do apologise for the issues raised and it is a shame that you did not contact us as we would have happily rectified these during your stay. Thank you again for your feedback and we are pleased to confirm the issues have now been dealt with. Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Bryn derwyn for my wife and 12 Yr old daughter oh and our lab wilson as we adore the lodge."
Stayed in the cold of winter this time with snow on the last day and it was toasty warm.Great communication with owner Elaine,, and Gordon who is onsite to assist with anything is fantastic. We love the setting,hot tub is great,great firepit and barbecue area and we all played on the zip line..All the comforts inside,beds very comfy,good tv's, kitchen maybe needs more implements to cook,glasses,bowls but we managed OK.. you will love this place

"Lovely! What a gorgeous little place, a great addition to the main house if booking with a large group."
Really clean and cosy, and a fabulous enclosed outdoor space that would be perfect for use in warmer weather. Thanks!
-
"Wonderful Christmas spent at Bryn Derwen lodge, we would love to come back!"
The beds are very comfortable and the lodge is very cosy and homely. We all said we would gladly live there! Great owners who were really helpful! Could do with a new set of bowls and some glasses and perhaps new cushions for the armchairs but it didn’t affect the overall enjoyment and the magic of Christmas spent there!
-
"Fabulous place, wish we could afford to rebook but with prices doubling for next year its just not possible."
We left a few recommendations in the guest book. Many thanks
-
"What an amazing place, so clean and tidy."
The garden is enclosed which was perfect for our dogs and the hot tub was incredible. The interior of the lodge made you feel at home and had a cosy feeling to it. We will definitely be booking again.
-
"What a hidden gem."
We had a lovely relaxing stay and couldn't fault anything. The garden was great for a Saturday night bbq and marshmallow toasting round the fire pit. The beds were so comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. So good we have already booked for next year!
-
"Lovely peaceful location and a good base to view the area."
The general seating in the property looks good but is uncomfortable when sat watching tv etc. The beds are super comfy and the hot tub was lovely after a day’s walking. The garden was sufficiently secure and enclosed for our dog. The Smart tv with a good internet connection was excellent. Good communication with the caretaker who was very helpful.
-
"Stayed here for 4 days and had a wonderful time."
What a beautiful lodge wrapped in an amazing outside area.We made full use of the outside eating area ,barbecue,firepit and hot tub and especially liked waking up with the French doors opened enjoying the view from our bed.The children's play area is a great addition which was enjoyed by us all.Just magical for us and sad to leave.Will definitely return and thanks to Elaine and Gordon for help and advise.
-
"Absolutely lovely little holiday."
We all had a great time and we’re really impressed! Only little things I’d mention as advice/recommend - two areas of garden where the fences are low - would be great if these were done so it’s completely enclosed for dogs. The house could do with having some cleaning spray for ease of cleaning sides/tables. A couple of extra oven trays for cooking food. Apart from that - everything perfect and we’ll certainly be stopping again :) Thank you!
-
"This one a little gem we stumbled upon, Great location with excellent facilities."
The cottage is well maintained. The garden area was perfect and safe for our dog. Will definitely be returning.

"Accomodation fantastic!"
Highly recommend if you want a relaxed stay stoking a log burner, throwing steak on the BBQ and taking a dip in a jacuzzi/hot tub under the moonlight. Owners were very helpful yet left us to it. Will definitely be booking to go back!
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
The garden was amazing. Loved the fire pit and hot tub. Very restful.
-
"Fantastic place which we all loved."
The photo's didn't do it justice. Outside area was amazing and we had plenty of BBQ. The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in in any holiday accommodation.
-
"As a group of friends we had a fantastic & really relaxing time in The Lodge!"
Beautiful house with plenty of room for the 5 of us, great facilities, very clean & tidy & all round just great. The men who greeted us to show us around were very friendly & helpful and always just a phone call away although we didn't need any assistance once as all our needs were met. We loved the outdoor facilities too with the hot tub & big fire (+ plenty of fire wood without a charge which was great) Took a drive across for a walk on Angelsey beach in the sunshine which was an easy 30 minutes drive followed by a lovely pub lunch. Perfect little weekend. Fantastic stay from start to finish & we are already looking at booking again for the summer.

About the location
BETHESDA
Bangor 6 miles; Caernarfon 10 miles.
Bethesda is a small town settled beside the River Ogwen in North Wales. Situated on the A5 between Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park, Bethesda was once a busy slate quarrying town and nowadays offers a good selection of shops and other amenities, in particular a number of chapels and pubs. The beautiful mountainous scenery of Snowdonia borders Bethesda, with the Lôn Las Ogwen cycling and walking paths skirting past. For the more adventurous, why not visit Zip World in Bethesda which is known for having Europe’s fastest and longest zip line. Capel Curig, just ten miles away, is a popular centre for walking, climbing and mountain biking, whilst Llanberis is situated at the foot of Mount Snowdon and is home to the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the National Slate Museum. Cwm Idwal is also a wonderful spot to visit, situated in northern Snowdonia – Darwin came to study the area and found tiny fossils of oceanic plant life and sea creatures in the boulders and rocks. The coastal town of Caernarfon is just a short drive away as is the beautiful Isle of Anglesey and the Anglesey Coastal Path. Visitors to the area can also explore the castles of Caernarfon and Beaumaris and the NT stately homes of Penrhyn Castle and Plas Newydd Country House and Gardens. Spend the day at one of the many traditional seaside resorts, or discover the isolated, hidden beaches on Anglesey, much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With spectacular scenery on the doorstep, wonderful wildlife with buzzards soaring overhead and the occasional Peregrine Falcon to be seen, and many exciting outdoor adventures to discover nearby, Bethesda is superbly located for enjoying both the coast and the countryside of stunning North Wales.
