  • "The house was very comfortable - & just right for what we needed."

    Not many places big enough for nine adults so we appreciated the spaciousness, particularly the large dining area. The kitchen area was possibly a little small to cook & serve food for nine but we managed, & the range of cooking equipment was very good. The house in general was well equipped & the welcome biscuits, cake etc were very nice. The Xmas decorations were also a lovely touch. Made it look really festive! We were slightly unsure from the emails about how much cleaning we were supposed to do on departure - whether they wanted us to empty all the bins or just the kitchen. Anyhow I think we left everything in good order. Overall an enjoyable stay in a location perfect for exploring the area.

    Thank you for your lovely review glad you enjoyed the comfort of the house Can I also thank you for leaving the house in good order it was very much appreciated I am sorry for the confusion over the amount of cleaing required. We do ask guests to leave it as you find but respect the fact you are on holiday after all as long as the beds are stripped and the bins emptied that is sufficient. So pleased you liked our beautiful area Thank you for kind comments Brian and Delyth Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely week."

    The area is stunning in its beauty. We were relieved to find that the garden was secure for our dogs as it wasn't clear on the listing. The kitchen and dining area were where we spent most of our time at the property. The 2 en suites at the top of the house are very spacious and have good views. The road is busy but isn't as intrusive as I was expecting. There were not any issues with parking.

    Thank you for your kind comments and pleased the house was to your liking. The kitchen diner is a hit with most of our guests glad you enjoyed your stay Kind regards Delyth and Brian Property Owner

  • "Stunning property!"

    Bryn Goleu is very well maintained and spotlessly clean on arrival. The welcome pack was a really generous collection of treats, but also included essentials, that we often forget to pack, to make sure we could get on with the holiday in comfort. It is equipped with absolutely every thing you need as well. The owners are just down the road, they are rightfully proud of Bryn Goleu and extremely helpful. All the rooms are spacious, we had 10 of us from 3 generations from 16-80 years old, plenty of space to spend time, sit and eat together. The Mawddach estuary is a great bit of Wales to spend time around. We holiday in North Wales every year, so much to do. Bryn Goleu was an ideal base for us all. Thank you Delyth.and Brian!!!

  • "We were an extended family of 9 aged 4-80!"

    We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The cottage was tastefully decorated with high quality furnishings and equipment. The rooms were all of generous sizes and very comfortable. Everything in great working order. The bank holiday traffic was a bit noisy but not too bad after the weekend. The only recommendation I would make is needing a bigger fridge (we ordered a weeks worth of shopping & there’s 1 small fridge). The cottage was exceptionally clean, with everything you need and the owner very helpful.

    Thank you for the positive feedback. Unfortunately you may have missed the information on the welcome note explaining that there is a fridge freezer in the shed at the side of the house we were unable to find a space for it in the dining kitchen and thought it would be ideal in the shed. Road noise has been an issue this year due to the vast amount of visitors to our area. I do hope this didnt spoil your stay. Kind regards Delyth and Brian Property Owner

  • "We had such a wonderful stay at Bryn Goleu, 4 couples and a friend tagged along!"

    We arrived early afternoon after a 5.5 hour drive from Essex to find tea, coffee, milk, cakes & a bottle of Prosecco to help us get settled in. That honestly made all the difference, as we didn't want to have to rush back out the door for refreshments when we had no idea where anything was yet! We weren't too sure about what to get up to when we arrived in Wales, apart from booking to go to so the zip wire the day after we arrived. Penrhyn Quarry was only 1 hour 15 mins drive away with beautiful views along the way. We had news of bad weather incoming so we also squeezed in a bit of the Watkin Path on Snowdonia the same day. Typical wales weather meant that our third day was spent playing queen monopoly that we'd brought along & some of the other games available to us. The kitchen was the perfect size for us to all eat together and plenty of pots, pans & utensils available to us to cook anything we wanted, which meant we ate a lot of great food having a chef in the party! On the last day, we popped to Barmouth on the coast and walked along the rail bridge, did some trails, shopping & lunch. All in all, plenty to do in the area and we had such a great stay, I'd highly recommend this house to stay in for anyone looking to visit Snowdonia national park! Thanks again Brian & Delyth :) x

    The house is excellent for a large group or in our case 2x families with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. it was immaculate. Our exprience with Sykes Holidays was extremely dissapointing. I understand that Covid caused issues for businesses, but I could not get through on the telephone and emails were often not answered. We had questions - would 2x families be able to share the cottage? Also, I asked about changing dates and we did not receive any helpful response to this. Despite this poor customer service, we did have an excellent stay.

The property

Barmouth 5 miles.

Boasting an elevated position with breath-taking views of Cadair Idris, is this Edwardian property, Bryn Goleu.

This spacious accommodation has been designed to bring together a group of family and friends looking to explore the many outdoor pursuits on offer within the area, including the sandy beach at Barmouth and the world-famous Coed y Brenin mountain bike trail.

Be welcomed into the entrance hallway boasting terracotta herringbone flooring and space to kick off your muddy walking boots before enjoying the rest of this period property.

The interior design of the property enjoys many traditional touches with a clever mix of contemporary styling to ensure a relaxing stay for the whole family.

Step into the kitchen and be greeted by the dual-fuel Range cooker, which takes centre stage before all of the quality appliances that await the designated chef of the group.

Settle down with your loved ones at the formal dining table, where you can enjoy your home-cooked meal whilst soaking up the views from the sash window.

Venture up the staircase, to find an inviting sitting room, where you can curl up on the sumptuous sofas which rests in front of a period-style fireplace, inset with an electric fire.

If you are visiting with younger guests, or simply seeking an hour away from the rest of the group, the first-floor also boasts a snug with a DVD player, as well as a stylish family bathroom with a roll-top bath to enjoy a relaxing soak of an evening.

Here, you will be spoilt for choice by the sleeping accommodation that awaits you, with five well-presented bedrooms situated across the three floors to choose from.

You will find a ground floor super king-size bedroom, an additional super king-size bedroom on the first floor, along with a twin bedroom, whilst the second floor houses two super king-size bedrooms which benefit from en-suite shower rooms.

To the outside, spend a moment or two on the flagged-stone patio area, where you can sink into the outdoor furniture to admire the soundtrack of the surrounding wildlife.

Outside, you will also find a charcoal BBQ for whipping up delicious meals as well as ample space for your canine companions to wander.

If you can tear yourself away from this delightful base, venture into the centre of Dolgellau where you will be delighted to find a superb selection of pubs and restaurants to satisfy all tastes, as well as a choice of shops for picking up the essentials.

For days out, you can explore miles of walking upon the Snowdonia National Park or spend some time at Coed y Brenin with its famous mountain bike trails.

Surrounded by woodland and mountains, Bryn Goleu promises to be an endearing escape for a family getaway to this part of Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
