• "This holiday home has stunning views of the valleys and mountains beyond, the Irish sea is also visible from the property."

  There was everything you need by way of kitchen equipment, dining/sitting area with floor to ceiling glass was comfortable, as was the lounge. The owners, who live nearby, are great and very approachable. We are already missing the wonderful countryside and peaceful surroundings.

• "A wonderful house with the most stunning views."

  We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children. The play barn was a brilliant space for the kids (and adults too!) Very comfortable rooms and a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed petting and feeding the lovely pigs. Fresh eggs made for a lovely treat too. Away from the hustle and bustle in a beautiful area of North Wales, thank you for a lovely holiday.

• "Our two families had a lovely stay here at Pen Bryn Llan!"

  We were a group of 4 adults and 3 children and we found that there was more than enough space for us all. The surrounding area is so peaceful and the thing that we loved the most were those breathtaking views of the countryside from the back of the house. Charles and Angharad keep the house very clean, the beds were comfortable and the showers were super powerful. The kitchen has everything you could need really, we even did some clothes washing because the kids had got themselves dirty and sweaty whilst off on our adventures. In fact, we loved it so much that we decided that we wanted to book again for next summer about two days into our stay! The kids loved feeding the pigs and watching them shuffle past the window in the paddock. To top it all off, the play barn is huge, it had so much to keep the kids entertained- and most importantly, somewhere dry that we could take them to tucker them out before bed! Lovely house, lovely setting and lovely hosts.

• "We had a wonderful weeks holiday at this stunning property."

  The views are amazing & we all enjoyed the peace & quiet of the location. Plenty of room for 5 adults & 5 children. The beds are very comfy. Camp cot, high chair & 2 stair gates also provided if requested. The children loved the play barn & trampoline. They also loved feeding the pigs & chickens & watching the sheep in the paddock. We were lucky enough to see some sheep dog training too. Ideally situated for days out in North Wales. The owners are really friendly & helpful & the fresh eggs are delicious. We could have happily stayed another week & look forward to returning soon.

  Amazing views of the Welsh countryside from every angle of the house. The play barn is a great place for children - my two nephews spent hours in it. Bedrooms were comfy and clean. Would highly recommend Pen Bryn Llan as a base for anyone keen on exploring North Wales. Thank you!

• "Beautiful well maintained house in a good location."

  The views from the conservatory/dining room and the decking are stunning providing a great place to sit and relax in the evening. Everything you could need was provided. The only thing I might suggest is blinds in the bedroom as they are very bright for trying to get young children to sleep! The children weren’t able to play in the paddock as the grass was too long and there were thistles and nettles but the play barn was great and they had lots of fun in there and on the trampoline. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely holiday and I would definitely recommend this property.

  Thank you very much for your comments about Pen Bryn Llan. We will look into fitting blinds if other guests feel it may help to keep the brightness out of the children’s bedroom. Property Owner

  The owners go over and above what is expected of them, the little ones loved the barn, even the older ones! Waking up to the sheep grazing in the field outside and the amazing views were magical. Even when a family member left her watch, they promptly posted it back. We would certainly go back and recommend this property. The only negative were the small leaks in the conservatory when the driving rain came. This was warned in the documents at the property. Hopefully this will get fixed once the weather improves. We all wanted to thank the owners of the property for it made a magical Christmas.

  Arrived in the snow to find Christmas decorations up and the house lovely and warm. We did have a lot of snow over our stay the owner dropped us a shovel off to dig the snow from around the cars and gritted around to help us get out. Some lovely walks and a nice meal in the village pub. Also an outside games area in a barn. Lovely stay as usual.

• "We have just had a fabulous week at this property."

  The views are absolutely stunning. The property is clean, spacious and has everything you could need. The play barn is a massive space with lots of games and activities, our children aged 3-12 loved it and spent lots of time in there. They also enjoyed visiting the pigs and chickens. It’s a short walk down the track to the local pub. The owner was really helpful, answering questions, giving advice on local walks etc. We have already booked again for next summer it’s one of the nicest holiday cottages I’ve ever stayed in. A few flies got into the conservatory but a quick spray with fly spray which was provided sorted it out and they were not overwhelming and no more that I’d expect in the countryside. Definitely recommend.

  The house itself was super. We were 3 adults but I could see a family with children really enjoying it. The mattresses on the beds were not very comfortable

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you loved the house. The property owner would have been glad to help you with any issues you found if you had contacted them during your stay. The rural location and warmer weather may attract flies which can happen in the countryside. Thank you once again for your feedback and we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

  It was simply the perfect weekend away for all of the family - it slept 7 adults and 2 children very comfortably and all of the bedrooms are lovely and have fabulous views. It's perfectly equipped with everything you need and the whole place was just spotless. My 2 boys just loved the play barn, trampoline and the added bonus was having sheep, lambs and pigs right on our doorstep. They loved feeding the pigs with our left over fruit and veg. The cottage is fairly remote but this is what makes it so special as you can just literally switch off and forget about everything - you relax as soon as you walk in the front door. There are plenty of places to explore only a short drive away or there are some lovely walks to enjoy from the local village. We took a day trip to Betws-y-coed which we all enjoyed. The terrace is lovely - we had a lovely sunny weekend but the wind was a bit chilly but you really don't need to be outside to appreciate the stunning views - even when sat inside you feel as those you are outside. I can't recommend this place highly enough and when we have our next family gathering I will certainly be looking to book again!

  The lounge and bedrooms are light, spacious and very comfortable. Definitely the most used room though was the huge dining/sitting conservatory at the back of the house. The views are remarkable and it’s a great room for large group dining. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite warm enough to make use of the large decked area though it would be an excellent outdoor space in better weather. The games barn is huge and was well used but wrap up warm in winter months! The house is up a long track and there are no shops or pubs within close walking distance so make sure to stock up well or be prepared to drive out for dining.
