"Beautiful lodge with the most amazing views."
This is the perfect place to get away from it all & we cannot wait to return!
-
"An amazing stay for our family."
Just perfect! So relaxing and you have everything you need at this lodge. A highchair, travel cot provided and even plastic plates and cutlery for the little ones :) In the most beautiful location with some lovely walking routes. So peaceful which made for the most relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing break. We will definitely be back. Thank you ☺️

"We have recently stayed here for 4nights."
It’s is a beautiful cabin. I have stayed in many log cabins over the years and this is by far the best and most well equipped cabin I have stayed in. The cabin was beautiful inside and decorated lovely with little homely touches. The kitchen was well equipped everything you need if you are cooking. The views from the cabin are beautiful as well as the hot tub. I will definately be staying here again at some point. We were met my huw on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. They also sent a really good guide to you before you arrive with everything you need including shops pubs places to go etc. it has been an amazing experience staying here and i look forward to going back at some point

"This beautiful property was so comfortable, with wonderful views from the huge windows."
So peaceful. Everything we needed was there. Huw the host was very helpful and friendly on arrival. No negatives at all.
-
"Lovely lodge, spotlessly clean and hot tub with a view!"
In quiet surroundings but plenty to do in the area. Huw and Mari were very helpful and responsive to any questions. We had a great time. Already planning a return trip.
-
"Pen Bryn is a lovely property and, has been decorated to a high standard."
The only negatives are that, there are essentials missing which, could be added to the property ie - chest of drawers in the bedrooms and, a washing line. There is also no window in the main bedroom which, should be noted. It was very stuffy in the room at night. The directions to the property were not easy to follow and, the roads surrounding the property are not easy to navigate! There are lots of positives to the cottage, its in a very quiet location with, amazing views. Its spacious and comfortable and, the hot tub is a great feature. Huw gave us a lovely welcome and, left us some gifts which, were much appreciated.
-
"It was beautiful accommodation and was very beautiful and peaceful area."
If I’m going back to wales I would return to this accommodation. Loved the view from the hot tub.
-
"Excellent property."
Had everything you needed for your stay. The property was dressed stylishly; was lovely and clean and fresh. The weather was cold and the underfloor heating was amazing. The hosts had left a bottle of Cava and food treats- a nice touch. We would definitely recommend and revisit ourselves.
-

"FANTAASTIC cottage atop a hill with astounding views a lovely outdoor hot tub with superb views all round ."

-
"Huw was very helpful, friendly and welcoming."
The house has been beautifully designed to take full advantage of the views, with a comfy modern settee area and dinning table looking out across the fields. It wasn't quite warm enough to sit out on the terrace but we enjoyed the hot tub, again privately positioned with great views looking into the valley. It is perfect for 2 couples, feeling spacious and light and thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Well equipped kitchen, nice clean modern bathrooms & underfloor heating. Would recommend it highly.

"Loved our stay at Pen Bryn!"
! Huw, the owner met us on arrival and explained everything, the owners live on the farm next door but were not intrusive at all. The lodge is very private and secluded which is just how we like it! Hot tub was lovely and so relaxing! The lodge is well equipped and the welcome pack was much appreciated. We made good friends with John Huw’s dad and he waved and stopped to chat if he saw us, we will definitely book again!
-
"Great property."
Warm and cosy with views across the valley. Enjoyed using the hot tub and wood burner. Property owner, Huw, very friendly and contacted us beforehand with links to lots of information. A good base to explore North Wales

"WHAT A FIND!"
Usually go to lodge parks and had given up hope of finding anything decent as they were full or extortionately priced and then I stumbled upon Pen Bryn! Beautiful location, stunning holiday let, super clean and well appointed - everything we needed was provided - more than used to! Family were very friendly and enjoyed our chats with dad too! It is remote which we loved - and even though Feb - we got decent weather and used the hot tub loads! AMAZING - thank you
-
"Absolutely amazing accommodation, location and scenic views, we had a lovely time here!"
The hosts were also very accommodating, I can't recommend this place enough. Five stars from us :)

"We recieved a warm welcome and the property was as beautiful as the pictures indicate."
The property was very clean it really was a home from home.
-
"The local roads seemed dreadful after Ruthin, but boy was it worth the effort."
The cottage has a fantastic outlook, and after a couple of days we were driving like the locals, (well most of them :-) Being fairly new, everything in the cottage was fresh, Hew made sure we knew where everything was and we felt quite a home very quickly. The fantastic weather at the beginning of September obviously helped and we very much enjoyed the company of puss and her two kittens. We'd go back tomorrow if we could.
-
"The property was perfect and location great to get to many places."
The tourist leaflets were helpful and we added to them following our travels around. An information folder would have been useful however which included local walks, amenities and restaurants. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and we couldn't have wished for a nicer holiday in Wales for our first visit. Thank you!

"Well what can I say!"
We had the most amazing stay at this stunning lodge! The lodge itself is absolutely immaculate. Equipped with everything you would need. The hot tub is fantastic. You can tell it isn’t just a cheap one. You wake up to such a peaceful setting with beautiful views. Million miles away our busy day to day lives. We were 4 girls turning 40 and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We didn’t want a busy city centre and this was everything we needed. Ruthin its self is so nice. Can 100% recommend small plates. The food was beautiful. Ruthin castle is another must. We went for a couple of drinks on the Saturday afternoon and the setting was just perfect. Peacocks roaming around and the grounds were stunning! The Wetherspoons in the town centre is great too. Lovely beer garden with cheap drinks too! If you need a taxi would recommend Daveys taxis. The taxi network isn’t like what we are used to (can we not just ring an Uber

"We had a lovely comfortable stay at Pen Bryn, thank you Huw and Mari."
The place is very spacious and very well equipped. Views are amazing and lots to do in the area. We would love to return sometime in the future.

"This holiday home was just amazing!"
We booked to take our elderly parents, one of whom has mobility issues and the property was spacious, well laid out, everything on one level. Everything was new and modern. The bi-folding doors viewed out onto an absolutely incredibly view where you could see the weather roll in - a point of much discussion in Wales! We were speechless at the hottub. So warm, easy to use, extremely clean and with the views of everywhere. The fire was lovely. Kitchen easy to use. Big fridge/freezer. Big utility room for walkers. Lovely host who met us. Oh! I could go on forever!!
-
"Immaculate throughout with very high quality finishes."
Hot tub was pristine and well maintained. The host were amazing. The views are incredible. The location is perfect. Really cosy cottage. Underfloor heating everywhere. Log burner. Nice gifts on arrival. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

"This property was fabulous."
It was clean, modern and finished to a very high standard. The owner was lovely and even met us and guided us to the property, which was really kind of him. When we arrived there was a welcome pack of a bottle of Prosecco, a large bag of crisps a lemon drizzle cake and a pint of milk. How lovely!!! There were 4 of us in our late fifty’s and we had a lovely catch up and comfy stay. The hot tub was an added bonus and we went in it several times. We will certainly be back and I have told friends and family all about it. Thank you Sykes Cottages. Donna Johnson

"We have stayed in many rural properties over the years."
Without a doubt this modern cottage is the best fitted out with auto lighting and heating. Endless supply of logs for the freestanding efficient log fire. Total comfort. The views are magnificent. The hosts extremely helpful. AMAZING!!!

The owners were thoughtful in the way the place has been constructed. They welcomed us on arrival and were helpful with enquiries. One of the very best properties we have stayed in.

The lodge has fantastic views over the countryside. The lodge is set in a very peaceful area. The view from the hot tub was outstanding. The lodge was very well equipped everything has been catered for. The lodge was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge with the log burner on. There were games at the lodge which we enjoyed playing in the evening. Our stay was very relaxing. We hope to return next year.

"We have had the best stay!"
The attention to detail was top notch, our first cabin experience was definitely the best we could of had, beautiful views to go along side the stunning cabin, thank you for our amazing stay xxx
-
"We had the absolute best stay, thank you so much."
The property is stunning and really well kitted out (the only thing we felt was missing was a bread knife but that is being suuuuper picky!). The hot tub is a wonderful addition and the view from it is INCREDIBLE. We're already planning a return trip in winter as snuggling in front of the fire and having a bath in the enormous tub sounds dreamy. Thanks again x

"This lodge has the WOW factor, it is of the very highest specification and equipped with everything you could possibly need, all top quality items."
The elevated position of the lodge gives the most wonderful 360 degree views. We also enjoyed being outside, because it was so peaceful & quite, just sheep & birds to listen to. The hot tub was amazing. The owners Mari & Huw are the most helpful nicest couple you could wish to meet. They will help your holiday go as smooth as possible. The area has lots to offer, we did some walks from the lodge & also Llyn Brenig reservoir, you can fish, hire boats or hire bikes here. The area has lots of attractions to visit, activities to do and the coast is not very far away. We really did not want to leave this beautiful lodge, cannot wait to visit again.

The property
Ruthin 4.1 miles.
Tucked away on the outskirts of Cyffylliog near Ruthin, Denbighshire, is this contemporary, detached lodge surrounded by countryside, Pen Bryn.
Suitable for family breaks, friends or couples, this impressive lodge has underfloor heating, off-road parking, a woodburning stove, and an enclosed garden with hot tub; sure to be a hit all year-round!
Although a classic wooden exterior, inside Pen Bryn you'll find a high-quality finish with excellent facilities for your self-catering holiday.
The utility has a washer/dryer to keep your walking gear fresh.
Moving through the lodge, a bright and spacious, open-plan living area will be the social heart of your holiday; rustle up heart-warming suppers in the well-equipped kitchen with an island for plenty of preparation space.
Two large, bi-fold doors frame tranquil views of the surrounding countryside, and why not let the outside in on summer days?
You can dine inside or step out into your private, enclosed garden for an alfresco affair with the barbecue.
Afterwards, relax in the bubbling hot tub under the stars; you are on holiday after all!
Take refuge indoors on colder nights where a sitting area has a woodburning stove for extra warmth, whilst you choose your favourite film on the Smart TV.
When it's time to retire, freshen up in the contemporary shower room before choosing between the master king-size with access to the garden and an en-suite bathroom, or take the twin room with zip/link feature to suit all guests.
Head into the village of Cyffylliog for dinner out at The Red Lion, but if you're looking for more, the market town of Ruthin is a short journey away.
The Fat Boar and Small Plates Ruthin are just some of the pubs and eateries on offer, whilst attractions include the stunning Nantclwyd y Dre Historic House and Gardens, St Peters Church, and Ruthin Gaol Museum are must-see attractions!
Journey further south to Llangollen for Vale of Llangollen Golf Club, the 14th-century Plas Newydd Historic House & Gardens, and why not cruise along the canal with The Horse Drawn Boat Centre?
You can dine with river views at Deeside Cafe Bistro after visiting the fascinating ruins of the 13th-century Castell Dinas Brân, built on the site of an Iron Age hillfort.
There are plenty of public footpaths in the area to venture into the idyllic countryside or head to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park; there's Zip World Fforest, the Ty'n Llwyn Walking Trail, hiking up Carnedd Llewelyn, and so much more!
The likes of Bala and Betws-y-Coed are within easy reach, but further afield you'll find Roman walls, a beautiful Cathedral, and plenty of restaurants and bars in the historic city of Chester.
You'll be spoilt for choice on your next North Wales adventure at Pen Bryn.
