  • "We had the most relaxing five night stay at Bren Derwen Lodge."

    The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was perfectly secluded in the ample & secure back garden. I imagine it to be stunning in the summer months. We plan to book again for next year.

  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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.

    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!

    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!

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.
