Bron Aber

Amazing place to have a break and recharge.

Also lots of things to do if you love walks. The host was absolutely amazing. Definitely we will get back to this place! Thank you!

beautiful location and lovely host.

Bronaber is a lovely cottage with everything we needed for a week in heaven. Thank you!

We stayed at Bron Aber Cottage in Snowdonia for 7 days and had a lovely holiday.

The cottage is in a great location, and it was very clean. We really enjoyed exploring the area. A few things could be improved: the television is quite old, the fridge is too small for a week's stay, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend the cottage for its location and cleanliness.

Absolutely loved our stay at Bron Aber.

Comfortable and quiet, it had everything we needed for our much needed break. Menna was lovely and came and said hello on arrival and showed us around the property. Spent most our time cycling, walking, birdwatching and just enjoying the surroundings. The garden was a joy with some impressive plants and was regularly visited by interesting wildlife. Also there are plenty of places to eat just a short drive away. Will definitely stay here again when we get a chance.

Found the cottage relatively easily with the postcode although bear in mind due to the location it is very dark at night.

There is private parking for a few cars but I personally found it difficult reversing back out especially at night. There was no welcome hamper on arrival sadly ( although i did book last minute so maybe this is why) however the lovely Menna came over the first evening to say hello and give a little intro which I appreciated. They live next door and were helpful if needed but also gave us space as needed. They had kindly set the log fire up perfectly for our arrival which was really appreciated. The garden is huge, the dog loved it. It is enclosed once you close the gate however a determined dog possibly could escape. My dog loved the garden. There was a note to ask dogs not to go on any furniture or in the bedroom which I do think should be mentioned on Sykes website. As for us its a holiday for the dog also and she enjoys a snuggle on the sofa and can't sleep alone so this would determine whether we book or not. We always cover the furniture with our own throws but this rule just makes it a bit less enjoyable for us all so if this is the rule I would have preferred to know in advance but we made it work. The house is detached which meant it was incredibly peaceful. It is also fairly remote so no noise from outside either. You need a car to stay here as there is not much in walking distance. The nearest major supermarket is a 30 minute round trip so also bear this in mind. The house was exceptionally clean. The decor was possibly a little dated but still very cosy. The living has a floor to ceiling window with the most beautiful views. The dining room is small but seats 6. The kitchen is again basic but has everything you could need. The bathroom is small however the shower over bath was hot and powerful. The main bedroom was plainly decorated but has 2 windows which have beautiful views. Both the main bedroom and twin bedroom are average size neither small nor spacious yet adequate. The 3rd bunk bedroom is very small. The wifi was excellent given the location. Check in is quite late and check out quite early but we made it work. Menna is such a lovely host and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and would happily stay again. Thank you for such a lovely stay, we had a great time despite the weather we really enjoyed our time here. Fairbourne, Lywyngwril and Barmouth are all lovely towns very close by which are worth a short drive too. Really not much going on in Arthog so best to take the car and go for a short drive to one of the many lovely towns nearby. The scenery here is just stunning and this is a major plus for staying in this location, simply breathtaking.

Cosy & comfortable with very helpful and responsive owners.

Loads of good walks from the property or within a short drive.

Spacious, very clean and comfortable bungalow with a lovely private garden in a quiet location.

The owner in the neighbouring property was very friendly and helpful. Fairbourne beach and estuary walks nearby. Highly recommended.

Lovely location and garden - dog friendly.

The owner was welcoming and informative. We really enjoyed our stay.

Bron aber was a lovely clean comfortable cottage so peaceful and relaxing and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay thank you Menna.

The cottage is beautiful in a fantastic location.

It is comfortable and much more roomy than it looks. The owners next door are welcoming and helpful. We enjoy the views and walks from the doorstep. It is our 2nd stay and we find the local area fun to explore. Bron Aber makes a delightful base. It sleeps 6 but with only a small bathroom we think full occupancy would be a problem. We have lots of room for ourselves as a couple. A brilliant holiday

Loved this place, spotless, comfortable, everything you need for a very relaxing holiday, I’ve had a lot of holidays in past years and this one ticked every box.

I really didn’t want to leave. Waking up to peace, quiet and a lovely view. The owners are lovely people too and were extremely helpful.

Another great stay at Bronaber.

Despite the not perfect weather 3 generations and dogs found lots to do. The cottage was warm, welcoming and comfortable without being so precious that you had to worry and the hosts are super helpful and friendly. We had 3 vehicles which were easily accommodated. The garden was a picture and apparently perfect for hide & seek. We would definitely go again.

Just two tiny niggles.

The door from hall into kitchen didnt shut, lock broken and several of the small windows were jammed shut so had to open big windows. Everything else fine. Comfy furniture and bed. Nicely decorated throughout and hosts couldnt have been more accommodating.

We had a super stay at Brin Aber!

Our Hosts and Frodo the dog were super helpful and friendly - Spent a week exploring the different coastal towns by day, and relaxing and taking in the sunsets back at the bungalow each evening.The bungalow was well enough equipped for us to self cater. There is a nice pub nearby with a great terrace and food/ale. I'd imagine in summer the surrounding woodland is stunning! The garden was great for our dog with a secure gate that meant she could mooch around! Great walks literally across the road that takes you all the way into Barmouth or to the train station at Morfa Mawdacch to jump on a train, up or down the coast line !

Bro Aber is a great comfortable base for exploring the wonderful surroundings.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday and are going again in April which speaks for itself.

Great place to stay, owner next door was loverly will definitely be back

Lovely cottage, comfortable and practical and great for the dogs.

Hope to return

Bron Aber as a holiday destination is a very easy recommendation.

Spotlessly clean on arrival, warm, and with absolutely everything we needed for a fabulous week on the Mawddach estuary, we were delighted with our choice. The owners are very friendly, extremely thoughtful (a welfare check and a torch brought to the door after a region power cut during a Sunday evening storm) but not intrusive. They have found the perfect balance of wanting you to have an excellent holiday, supporting that, and giving you the space to do so. With fabulous walks direct from the door to local waterfalls, across fields, the Mawddach estuary and trail or further afield to Fairbourne or across to Barmouth, Bron Aber is superbly located for walkers and / or cyclists. We would not hesitate to return.

Lovely comfy cottage tucked away in a quiet corner of Arthog in lovely secure gardens for our dogs ,we couldn’t fault the cottage it felt like home immediately, friendly owners and some welcoming cake and milk was a nice touch , we would definitely stay again , the only slight negative was the TV and lack of channels but we took our Amazon fire stick which solved the problem , highly recommend

Comfortable, warm and reasonably well-equipped.

Being able to easily turn the water and heating on and off at will was a real bonus. Good location for strolling to Barmouth, Fairbourne beach & Cregennan Lakes. Lots more, big and small, within a few miles' drive. No complaints about customer service. We asked the (very friendly) owners if they had a spare tea strainer or cafetiere since neither had been provided, went away with a strainer and a cafetiere turned up an hour later which really was going "above and beyond". Could have done with some more kitchen knives but apparently they tend to go walkabouts.

Comfortable house in great surroundings with lovely hosts living next door.

Great walks nearby and fantastic pub George III. Really dog friendly!

Bron Aber is a very peaceful bungalow set on a large plot surrounded by trees.

Very clean and everything we needed. The lovely owner lives next door and was very welcoming and informative about the area. Our dog loved exploring the garden. Beautiful walks right on the doorstep.

This cottage was one of our best holidays it was a super bungalow Very welcoming hosts a nice quiet place with a fantastic garden plenty of wildlife to watch We have been to Barmouth for many years and found this property super comfy all amenities for cooking sleeping very cosy and warm Tea coffee sugar a lovely cake when on arrival Our dog loved the garden and so did we And a bonus the weather was sunny all week lots of places to visit around the area , towns ,beaches places to dine out This bungalow was a ideal base for this Also if you just want to relax at the bungalow all week that would have been great too Hope to go again sooooonnnnn

Spotlessly clean bungalow in a beautiful location.

Perfect for a relaxing break. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage is very comfortable with wonderful views and a beautiful garden.

It's in a good position, with lovely walks straight from the door and close by. We would definitely like to come back.

Another lovely stay.

That’s one in Autumn and now Spring. No doubt we will be back!

Bron Aber is extremely comfortable with everything you need.

Menna is a wonderful host, nothing is too much trouble for her. The cottage is located in a beautiful area and has magnificent views. The garden is fabulous. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Really enjoyable stay at Bron Aber and would definitely like to return.

Comfortable bungalow in lovely quiet and scenic location. Owner Menna very helpful and friendly. Thank you.

We loved this charming bungalow with its quirky layout.

The owner is friendly and welcoming with helpful advice and suggestions. It is in a delightful spot with great views. Sadly we were unable to enjoy the garden due to the wetness of the week we were there. However we enjoyed the excellent walks from the door even if we did return wet and muddy after every excursion. The cottage is very comfortable but may not suit anyone with limited mobility as the entrance is up a steep slope from the unpavemented A road. The only item we would have liked was a caftierre as we enjoy freshly brewed coffee.

We were warmly greeted and given a run down of the facilities.

The bungalow was immaculate and extremely comfortable. We have two greyhounds and these were also given a warm welcome. A beautiful garden and patio area added to the comfortable facilities provided. A great time was had by both us and the dogs and a definite return is on the cards.

Bron Aber is a very comfortable holiday cottage.

It is very well placed for walks and sightseeing. Our 5 year old grandson loved the Fairbourne steam railway. Barmouth had lots to occupy him as well. Menna Our host, was very friendly and helpful.

Bron Aber is a lovely comfortable & relaxing bungalow our host Menna was welcoming and always concerned if there was anything we needed.

Our dogs loved the garden too, we had a lovely fortnight staying here and would recommend.

A wonderfully warm welcome from the owner.

The bungalow itself was very tastefully furnished & decorated. In terms of cleanliness, I found it nothing short of immaculate! If your idea of a holiday involves commercialised entertainment in any form, you won't (or shouldn't) be looking at Arthog . . . If you want to enjoy a wander through the adjacent woodland or take some less energetic walks (or bike rides) along the Mawddach Trail or on the Barmouth or Tywyn beach fronts, Bronaber really is an ideal base! Arrived home only a few hours ago and I am already looking into future available dates . . . :-)

Lovely cottage and garden,location is excellent for beautiful walks, lovely host, we will be back.

Bron Aber is a beautiful cottage with a stunning garden in a fantastic location for hiking, biking and day trips to nearby towns and lovely sandy beaches.

The house is clean and well equipped and the beds are super comfy. Menna, the host, is friendly and helpful. It couldn't have been more perfect. We hope to be back.

This is a wonderful cottage to stay.

Garden is spectacular and the views from the lounge are stunning. Lovely walks to nearby waterfalls and along the Mawdach Trails. Menna is the lovely owner and lives next door, so is always on hand for recommendations or questions. We stayed with our two dogs and the loved it! We can't wait to stay again. The cottage is clean, spacious and well equipped. Just what you need for a stay in beautiful Arthog.

We had a lovely few days at the bungalow.

Great for cycling trails. The garden is beautiful.

Mens and Fred were very welcoming had a really restful stay

Staying at bron aber far outreached my expectations, it was very clean very comfortable and had a fully equipped kitchen, i took my grandaughter who has special needs on holiday and the cottage was perfect for her needs, Menna and pred were very helpful and certainly go above and beyond to help and make sure your stay is an enjoyable one, I would certainly book this cottage again and would highly recommend to family and friends.

Thank you both menna & pred xxx

Lovely spacious, comfortable & well equipped cottage.

Wonderful view & a friendly host

We had a lovely stay, a very nice property clean warm and spacious.

In a super position to explore the local area. A lovely host who made us very welcome. I would definitely recommend.

Great house, but needs lighting outside, as reversing car out of drive is a tight squeeze, other than that ideal

A much anticipated break for us - had to delay our arrival though.

On arrival on the Sunday evening the cottage was very cold - soon sorted by switching heating on and lighting the log burner. Owner very concerned about this and we felt well looked after. Unfortunately the boiler which did heating and hot water started to produce a strong kerosene smell which caused the kitchen and bathroom to be essentially uninhabitable. On reporting to the owner maintenance was carried out on the boiler as soon as was possible and the rest of our stay was uninterrupted as the boiler was running smoothly after being serviced. Thank you for the prompt attention. We really loved the cottage and enjoyed the rest of our stay. The owners were very generous in offering to us an extension to our stay. We were not able to take them up on this, but had a late check out on the day of going home instead. This was much appreciated. Definitely recommend the cottage and would return in the future.

Menna was very friendly and helpful.

The holiday cottage was very clean and provided us with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the area. Pippa

Beautiful setting and a warm and friendly welcome.

Really good house with a big garden.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Not easy to drive to the house with a big van like ours. Nevertheless I would book it again.

Best holiday I’ve had in ages.

Very good location for walking and with close access to the scenic Mawddach cycle trail.

An exceptionally clean and quiet property with excellent hosts. Useful storage for bikes. We'll be back!

Menna is a lovely host, we were made very welcome.

The cottage was clean and cosy and a great location for discovering the surrounding areas. We stayed for 3 days but could have stopped for a fortnight. We would definitely return again. Thanks again.

Third visit - amazing as always.

Love this place

Very welcoming hosts and comfortable cottage.

It had everything we needed and was warm and clean. Superb position for a relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful week away at Bron Aber.

A lovely cottage that was perfect for what we wanted. The hosts were so helpful with lots of lovely suggestions. Think we need to go back as we just didn't have time to explore everything we wanted to.

Lovely base from which to explore this beautiful haven in northwest Wales.

You'll be well taken care of by the owners and enjoy lovely walks.. in hills, forests, by lakes and along vast sandy beaches.

This property is one of the best appointed we have ever stayed in.

First class. The owner was most considerate and helpful.

Lovely cottage with beautiful views.

Provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week.

The property was lovely - couldn't fault it.

Kitchen roomy, and enough cooking equipment. Beds and lounge area very comfortable. There was a pretty garden, ideal for the dog. Views from the lounge beautiful. Pleasant beaches nearby, and not too far from exploring the Snowdon area too. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The only small thing ... it might be helpful to have some brochures/suggestions of nearby attractions, but appreciate that might not be Covid acceptable.

Lovely holiday lovely cottage highly recommend

Bron Aber is a lovely property.

Nice quiet place to relax after a day out and about. Menna the host is lovely and made sure we were ok for everything. Would definitely recommend.

This is my second stay at Bron Aber and both stays have been a great experience.

The house is well placed close to Barmouth, Bala Lakes, Harlic and Tywyn amongst others destinations to visit. The scenery is spectacular everywhere you look. I would highly recommend this accommodation. The hosts are lovely people, very welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the outset, close to hand if needed but otherwise you are left to enjoy house and gardens.

We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful cottage, the garden is just stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife in it.

Lots of walks right from the doorstep. A 10 minute walk takes you to a fabulous waterfall. The cottage was absolutely spotless and very comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The owners who live next door were very welcoming and most helpful. We will definitely visit again!

Great host, property and location.

Our second visit and definitely not the last.

This is our place, and here we feel like home. When we leave, we already miss it. Meena and Frank are very kind, helpful owners. I recommend it with all my heart.

Lovely and clean cottage.

Perfect base for exploring the seaside, estuary and mountains.

A lovely home in a great position for exploring the area with local footpaths and cycle trails.

Beautiful location, though not easy access from the main road.

Perhaps add a few more details to “getting there.” The owner was so thoughtful and helpful, child and pet friendly, too.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Owner was very welcoming and was extremely helpful. Cottage had everything you needed. It's is a wonderful base to then explore the absolutely stunning surroundings. Enjoyed our holiday so much that We have already booked to return next year. Thank you so much Meena!

This bungalow is amazing.

The views are to die for, it is really comfortable and very clean. It’s central to so many places to see and at night you can hear owls calling in the woods behind the property. You are welcomed with home made cake too! The ONLY thing I would say is that, it is the only place I have stayed at ( and there has been many) that you have to take everything, and I mean everything, with you. There is no washing up liquid, no hand soap, no kitchen roll, no spare toilet roll, no tea, no coffee, there were utensils but no knives for preparing food, fruit or vegetables, not a thing in the cupboards, not even a full salt or pepper pot! It didn’t deter from a great holiday but it made things a little more difficult after a long tiring journey

Excellent lounge particularly with a large patio window overlooking the hills and countryside.

In addition it had the afternoon/evening sun shinning though and on a clear day a wonderful sunset over the distant mountains. Lots of lovely walks nearby and a number of steam railways to enjoy. The owner, Mrs Jones, living next door, was very helpful.

Bron Aber far exceeded my expectations - Although when I rang Sykes to add one other person you failed to tell the property owner.

However the owner apologised for this and the bed was made up in ten minutes - Menna was and is outstanding would highly recommend this property and we are looking forward to rebooking again

We had a wonderful time, weather fabulous, owner extremely friendly and helpful, comfortable cottage in the most beautiful surroundings with walks from the doorstep

Owners were friendly and very helpful with regards to property and areas to visit.

Also very let friendly and pointed us towards some lovely walks nearby.

Brilliant host, Brilliant accomodation, Brilliant location - Oh yes did I mention the host - 2nd time here - perfect in everyway.

Owner very kind and helpful.

Beautiful cottage and garden. Wonderful view from windows. Great walks in stunning scenery from the door. Excellent holiday.

Love, love, love, beautiful surroundings, beautiful views, very helpful owners.

I could live there forever. I recommend this place.

A well situated cottage with a warm welcome from Mrs Jones, the owner.

Beautiful garden and surrounded by lovely views from the cottage windows. Great for dogs.

Perfectly situated for access to Mawddach Way.

Exceptionally friendly owner with a warm welcome

Really enjoyed our stay.

Cottage was lovely and clean. Plenty of walks in the area great for dogs. Met the owner Mrs Jones who was lovely and left a welcome pack of milk and cake which was a nice touch.

The owners are very helpful and around should you need them, the property is very comfortable throughout with a lovely outlook of the garden and beyond.

The area is very quiet and also has good views of the starry night sky on a clear night.

Excellent cottage, secluded, beautiful views.

Owner very helpful and friendly

Really enjoyed our stay here.

Minor niggle - take the gates off the entrance or get them to open wider. Just got our car through! Overall a very pleasant place to stay.

A truly wonderful place to stay.

Fantastic gardens with beautiful views. Many places to go and see. The cottage is like home from home and very clean. We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Jones for being so warm and welcoming. We will see you again soon !

Perfect place for a relaxing holiday in beautiful part of wales

All OK and a lovely holiday.

The owner made us very welcome.

Location was perfect. Cottage was warming and homely. Highly recommended :)

We was made very welcome by Mrs Jones who advised us on places to visit which we did.

The lakes were extremely pretty. Being November the wood burning stove and central heating was lovely for our family of five adults, a three year old and a one year old. Like advertised, perfect for walks, cycling and sight seeing in a beautiful part of Wales. Would love to go back.

We stayed at Bron Aber for a week and really enjoyed it, the weather wasn't to good but we still had a lovely time, the owner was a lovely lady and very helpful, and my husband fell in love with her dog Murphy he is lovely.

The bungalow was fantastic a real home from home very comfortable with everything we needed in a lovely location with plenty of lovely walks for our dogs, and such a fantastic view from the front, we would definitely go back there again .

A very comfortable cottage in a quiet location yet giving easy access to stunning walking areas as well as many other things to do.

The landlady was very friendly and helpful and we had a wonderful week. Highly recommended
