Brynteg

Lovely property,in a very lovely area, with beautiful sea views with mountains behind.

Put simply.

. it's a lovely place to stay. Very clean and looked after. Spacious in all rooms. One of the comfiest sofas I have ever sat on. Off road parking and big garden. Great communication from Peter and his wife. Brilliant location too.

Lovely roomy cottage with great facilities.

Excellent support from Pete with recently broken/removed DVD player being replaced promptly during our stay. We made good use of the local train service (so nice not to have to drive everywhere); Hendre Hall (great recommendation Pete); and the small local shop (amazing range of items for its size). For anyone wanting a long beach walk try Aberdovey to Tywyn at low tide. A holiday to remember - thank you!

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a beautiful location.

The bungalow was cosy, comfortable and very clean. Peter and Carol where very warm and welcoming. Already looking to return again in future.

We've stayed here a few years now, very good value bungalow in the best holiday spot for us in Wales.

Comfortable for us, and amazing sunsets viewed from indoors. (Only tiny drawback, no pyrex jug for cooking in the microwave)

Spacious,spotless and comfortable in a lovely friendly village.

Love the view from the front windows ,of the sea and mountains, The river walk,down to the beach,is lovely as is the walk to Barmouth over the bridge. Only suggestion would be a visitor book which we have always found to be very helpful

Clean, tidy and adequatley equipped property.

Spoke with Peter the owner couple of days before the booking started - very welcoming and keen to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. The property is perfect as a base for exploring the National Park and the village itself welcoming. Village store has the basic essentials, Co-Op stores in either Tywyn or Dolgellaufor those wanting more. Thank You for a very pleasant stay.

We have stayed here many times.

It really is a home from home. The rooms are spacious. We really like the fact that we have off road parking and also a garden to be able to sit and just chill. The sunsets from the living room are stunning. Just a short walk to the pebble beach. It is a lovely part of the country and the village is very peaceful and friendly.

A spacious and comfortable holiday home in a beautiful village by the sea.

Excellent public transport links and many spectacular walks close by. Wish we’d been able to stay longer. Thank you for a lovely break.

Had a great week at Brynteg.

Very comfortable & clean cottage. Had everything we needed. Even the weather was good. Easy access north & south via the local train. Great walking into the hills behind the cottage. Really hope we'll be able to return!

We had a wonderful holiday at Brynteg.

It is a beautiful spacious bungalow in a lovely location. There are many walks on the doorstep to enjoy and the beach is just 5 minutes away. We visited Barmouth, Aberdovey, Tywyn, Dolgellau and Fairbourne to name a few, plus there are many mountains and lakes to explore. A really lovely place to stay. Just a small suggestion to the owner...a shoe tray in the hall for outdoor shoes would be good but that is all as everything else you need is here.

Plenty of room for Grandparents, son and 2 grandchildren.

Garden was spacious so kids could play., and there is a playground almost opposite. Friendly neighbours. Beach an easy walk, and kids loved the knitted stuff around the village and the trains! We had glorious weather. Unfortunately the local pub was closed and up for sale, and the village shop was closed for refurbishment, but shop at Hendre Hall was useful. Some slightly negative points: The bed in the top bedroom is very creaky. The velux windows in top bedroom let in a lot of early morning light. The chairs could do with some felt pads on legs as they are noisy when moved over floor. TV reception is poor and choice of channels also not great. We took an Amazon fire stick which meant we could watch Olympics highlights in the evenings. It would have been useful to know what day bins were emptied (Monday) as they were full when we arrived. Things we enjoyed locally: Local beach Dolgoch falls Cregennan Lakes Barmouth beach - we went on train from Llwyngwril Fairbourne beach and railway

A real home from home and well placed to visit the likes of Barmouth and Harlech by road or train.

There's a nice bar and farm shop just over the road. The hosts are also very friendly. I look forward to coming back.

Fantastic holiday very well equipped and comfortable, lots of DVD's, marvelous sunsets and views, lots of mountain drives.

We had a great 5 days at Brynteg.

Lovely spacious bungalow, we would definitely go again, plenty of facilties, clean. Comfy.warm.quiet.

Very pleased with the cottage.

Clean and very comfortable, with all amenities. Would certainly go back.

The bungerlow was really comfortable and relaxing.

Beautiful views from the bungerlow and amazing scenery easy to get to. Would highly recommend.

What a truly great property in a unbelievable location.

I had a very calm and relaxing time in the picturesque village of Llwngwril and will most definitely be coming back.The location has to be seen to to be believed and whilst there i felt as if i had been transported to another world. Fortunately my visit coincided with the best weather of the year and provided a stunning backdrop to the area. The property is located opposite Hendre Hall which has a great little bar and coffee shop also there is a well stocked farm shop on the site as well.Also a short walk up the road is a friendly pub which provides great food for when you don't feel like cooking. The highlight for me were the numerous beaches all easily accessible these included:Fairbourne(which is stunning as the sun comes down),Twyne(a small quiet resort),Barmouth(a busier bustling place) and my personal favourite Tal y Bont(very quiet and more remote). You will i am sure be able to curate your visit to your own personal taste and the area will take care of the rest. The property itself had absolutely everything that i needed and i am happy to provide a recommendation.Many thanks to you Peter and Carole.

Really lovely holiday home, plenty of space, only thing we didn't like was the creaky bed in the upstairs room.

Brynteg is a fantastically positioned cottage for exploring the west coast of Wales.

The village of Llwyngwril is charming and had recently had a garden show. It was full of yarn bombing including a very impressive dragon just a few doors away. The cottage is well placed for accessing lovely beaches at Aberdovey to the south and Barmouth to the north. There are also several small gauge steam railways nearby and we road them all during our week in the area. There was a playground across the road and the cottage was just a 5min walk to the beach where we explored rock pools and enjoyed kite flying. We were four adults and two children (6 and 2) and there was plenty of space in the cottage for all of us. Our grandchildren loved the big back garden and enjoyed playing there. As adults we were happy to know it was secure and they were safe there. The cottage itself was tidy and welcoming and had most everything we needed for our stay. I missed the notation that towels were not included and we had a mad dash to find somewhere late Saturday afternoon where we could purchase some. Even without these it would have been helpful to have dishcloths for drying available in the kitchen. It was useful having a washing machine available. However, we only found three pegs for the washing line and there was no airer available in the cottage which made it very challenging to get clothes dry after washing. In spite of comments and requests from previous guests there is still a lack of rails or hooks in the bathroom for wet towels and this was very difficult with six of us using the bathroom facilities. I have noted from other reviews that guests have been commenting on the beds as being rickety, squeaking on movement and not particularly comfortable. These comments have been in several reviews since 2018. Although the owners stated they had replaced mattresses at some point we found that the beds overall, but particularly the one upstairs and the two twin beds were noisy and uncomfortable. This has not been the case in other Sykes cottages with similar ratings where we have stayed. I would encourage the owners to bite the bullet and purchase new bed frames and mattresses for the property to ensure that guests have a good night’s sleep while staying here. Overall feedback would be much improved if this was done. We so much enjoyed our week in the area and would love to come back. We would definitely stay at Brynteg again if we could be assured that these issues commented on regularly by guests were rectified. Thank you Carole and Pete.

A wonderful location in a sweet little village with stunning scenery.

The house was spacious, clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay. Plenty of local walks, including the lovely walk over the bridge to Barmouth, and easy access to trips further afield. There were some challenges which have been mentioned by previous reviewers, which if fixed would boost reviews - It could be made clearer in the listing that there are no towels are provided (towels simply aren't mentioned), The fridge door lower shelf is missing, No blinds in the upper bedroom meant very early morning wake-ups, Upper bedroom bed base feels broken somehow - rather uncomfortable, Some thoughtful touches missing - not major, but make a difference - lack of hooks on doors, lack of lock on bathroom etc. If fixed these would all make a big difference. We had a great holiday in a lovely location.

This is a very nice and spacious dormer bungalow with large rooms, that is very close to a rocky beach, with a pub and a small village shop within a short walk.

The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is really nice and large easily catering for 6 occupants. I would recommend this property.

Brynteg is a really homely and surprisingly spacious bungalow, well laid out with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

It's location is idealy situated for exploring the local and wider area of this lovely section of Welsh coastline..

Have a great time and brilliant weather.

Property very spacious, comfortable and clean. Well equipped, good Wifi service. Met the owners as we were leaving and they are lovely people, keen to ensure you had a good stay and open to any suggestions.

This is the second time we have stayed here.

Llwyngwryl is a lovely little village. It is an ideal base to travel to other areas, ie Aberdovey, Tywyn, Barmouth, Dolgoch falls. The property is very spacious and is a real home from home. The kitchen is well equipped. All the rooms are generous in size and the off road parking gives peace of mind. It is lovely to sit in the peaceful garden and have your meals or a drink. You can easily walk to the pebble beach and there is seating to look across to Barmouth. June 2013

Lovely location, spotlessly clean.

Good sized rooms and everything you need. The train station is close by ,so you can travel to different places. Go to Arthog ,there is a lovely walk up to the lakes and back down by beautiful waterfalls. I would recommend this holiday home ,it's a good base. Pete very helpful too. Shame about our weather .

We just come back from a wonderful holiday in Brynteg, Llwryngwril!

The cottage is spacious with 3 large bedrooms, a lovely sitting room and a great kitchen, well equipped where we were happy to cook most days. The internet connection is very good too. There is a garden where we relaxed on our last day before our journey back to London ! The place is very comfortable and we felt "home" straight away. It is a perfect location: easy access to the lovely Llwryngwril beach, public footpaths and close to Barmouth, Tywyn and Dolgellau for great hiking in Snowdonia! The owner, Peter, is very friendly and could not be more helpful. The weather was very sunny all week apart from one rainy day :). We are very happy with our stay ad it was an amazing break from our busy life! We will definitely recommend this place and might come back at some point !

Absolutely beautiful house, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, there is plenty of storage and even a good selection of dvd's.

The garden is perfect for the kids to run around and they loved swapping beds so that each of them got a chance to have the room upstairs. Just incase there are other people as unobservant as me , the freezer is hidden in a cupboard next to the dining table, next to the fridge but facing the other way. There are plenty of walks in the local area and I can highly recommend the pub for a lovely meal. We will be back to stay soon.

We really enjoyed our stay in this property, plenty of room and clean and comfortable.

Sea views out the front windows were lovely and being situated in such a pretty village only a few miles from the Barmouth railway walks was great. (Only drawback was difficulty in getting in the property for disabled member of party but that was not the fault of the owner as property not advertised as disabled friendly).

Well equipped, comfortable, plenty of room, off road parking, close to beach, nice local pub, good base for visiting parts of Noth Wales.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location the area was absolutely stunning and a good base to explore.

On first glance the bungalow was spacious and it had everything described on the site. The owners were attentive when we had a problem and contacted us straight away. There are good size rooms with plenty of space for clothes and hangers (usually a problem in most places we stay). A few areas are lacking that could be easily rectified and which would really elevate this property. - Hooks in the bathroom to hang damp towels. - Dressing tables in the bedroom, or at least one in a bedroom, as there are mirrors but not easily comfortable to access when doing make up and hair. - The top floor bed needs replacing as it’s so rickety and noisy that we had disturbed sleep every night. - Some pots and pans need replacing as they’re buckled and don’t sit flat on the hob, which means they don’t heat up quickly or effectively. It’s also very hard to decipher the temperature settings as the numbers were worn off. - Back door lock needs attention as it’s stiff and couldn’t remove key when unlocked. While it is stated that towels and tea towels are not supplied, it would be nice touch as with a large family they are bulky items to bring with you. Not to get too bogged down on the negatives we did have a good time and it is a homely property with owners who care about your stay.

Had a wonderful holiday.

It was very bright and spacious and it really did feel like our home. We enjoyed sitting in the garden, which had an assortment of garden furniture to sit on. Enjoyed on a night a gentle walk past the pygmy goats, which my daughter loved, to sit on a bench over looking the sea and watch the sun go down.

Enjoyed our week in Brynteg.

..large spacious rooms...some lovely furniture and bedding...stunning sunsets and beautiful views...nice pub and local shop minutes away

A comfortable stay in a very convenient location - great for the train station and a ride on the most scenic railway line in the UK, handy for getting to some of the smaller railways around Wales (and Castles), brilliant for walking the local part of the Wales Coast Path and the hills above and beyond Fairbourne, Barmouth and the Mawddach Estuary and just in the right place to experience the most beautiful sunsets that are the speciality of this area, particularly when the weather is as glorious as it has been for our stay.

Oh, and we loved the plastic tablecloth!!!

This property compared with others at similar prices we have visited was lacking in several ways.

There were only 2 mirrors in the property neither of which where useable for hair dryers unless you brought an an extension lead with you .Also no hair dryer ,no towels, bottom door shelf on fridge missing .,baking trays were not clean enough to use .Also no hooks in the bathroom and my pet hate plastic tablecloths ! The position of the property was good ,wonderful scenery but the holiday was marred by lack of attention to detail .

We found Brynteg very roomy, comfortable and well equipped.

It was spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the sea view from the lounge. We did think double glazing would make the bungalow cosier as a lot of heat is lost through the large windows. Also some coat hooks in the hall and on the bathroom and bedroom doors would have been useful. We would certainly recommend this property.

Brilliant communications throughout with the owners, bungalow is very spacious with everything needed, lovely location 5 minutes from beach, bungalow was spotlessly clean, will definetly return Cheryl and kellard

The property is clean and spacious and the beds are comfortable!

There is lots to do around the local area and the beach at Fairbourne is lovely and almost deserted much of the time. The local pub is friendly and the food is good, the wall across the estuary to Barmouth is great and there is a fab second hand bookshop in Barmouth too (and another great bookshop in Dolgellau).

We were very pleased with this wonderful accommodation and would highly recommend.

Very clean and comfortable with large spacious rooms throughout.

A comfortable, clean and well equipped house, even in these unusual times.

Hosts friendly and helpful. Easy access to bus, train and local walks. Would highly recommend this property.

The house was well equipped have not done self catering for a long time.

Due to coved situation we cooked at home. Everything you could need was in the kitchen. A real homely place in a beautiful spot. Owner was helpful when we spoke to him suggesting nice walks. A real welcome break feeling safe in all this madness

Brynteg is a spacious house overlooking Cardigan Bay.

The view of the sea from the front of the property changed every day with some fabulous sunsets in the evening. The local pub has been closed this year but the shop is just a short walk away. The owners had prepared the house beautifully and has every modern convenience. The shower and bathroom were excellent. We enjoyed our time there as there is so much to see and do in the local area. We visited Portmeirion, The Mach Loop [where we saw a Hawk jet scream through at low level], the local steam railway, Snowdonia and Snowdon, Harlech, and also enjoyed walks in the many local beauty spots with lakes and waterfalls. Staggered by the lack of traffic, excellent road network, and stunning scenery, this is a holiday for someone who enjoys nature and beauty rather than bright lights and night life. We found the local people friendly, helpful and welcoming. Thank you for welcoming us to your lovely cottage.

Bungalow first class plenty of room very relaxing beautiful views would definitely return and recommend.

Apart from the bungalow we had in Florida this is probably the best accommodation we’ve stayed in. But we didn’t like it we loved it

We loved Brynteg and would definitely consider going back in the future.

The location was perfect, in a lovely village with a park and beach across the road. Really beautiful place. The only thing that it could possibly improve on is to supply some hand towels and soap in the bathroom, the upstairs bed has seen better days and it had a bit of a musty smell (assuming it’s from the owners dog?) Overall we had a fab holiday and we are missing the rolling hillside and mountains already!

The bungalow was spacious, clean and well equipped, with the following exceptions : all mattresses badly need replacing freezer not working fridge shelves were broken - fridge needs replacing double glazing has failed on some windows and needs replacing back door very difficult to lock and unlock blinds would have been good on the upstairs velux windows lock on bathroom door would have been nice, also hooks somewhere for towels Would have been nice to have the heating on before our arrival (at the end of October) as the bungalow was absolutely freezing, and took a good 24 hours to warm up.

Maybe the cottage could provide a small freezer.

Bryteg is a holiday home but also a ‘home from home’ where you immediately feel comfortable and find everything to hand.

The beds were comfortable the heating and the shower powerful and hot, and we felt very happy staying there! It is a credit to its owners and we found it very clean everywhere on arrival. The Bungalow is well situated and has views of the bay from the lounge window - something of a great for us seeing the sea every morning as we live in the Centre of England - and from where we could easily check to confirm that the train was running, not that it didn’t even during the storms we experienced during our visit! The station is a ten minute walk and offers a very convenient and inexpensive service into Barmouth, £4 return, and the opportunity to travel over the Railway Viaduct across the Mawddach Estuary. A well stocked Co-Op is to be found next to the Station there also! You can take the train to places north in Snowdonia, such as Harlech and Porthmadog and south to Aberdyfi and Machynlleth - all in were in easy reach if you preferred to leave the car at home. We used Brynteg as a base for travelling on some of the “Great Little Trains of Wales”, one of which, the Talyllyn was a 15 minute drive away south based in the seaside resort of Towyn, where we spent a memorable day on “The Victorian Train” which runs on selected Thursdays in June, July and September. All in all, we found that the village was well situated for easy access to the surrounding areas, and the neighbours and locals polite and very friendly. The wide range of specially knitted knitted artefacts, displayed in many different places throughout Llwyngwril.

Excellent location for visiting attractions etc, brilliant bungalow more than exceeded our expectations.

A little moan though there were no towels or dishcloths, I dont know if this was stated on the description as we booked last min as our original holiday was cancelled by Sykes because of fault in original house. Other than that 1000% brilliant.

Excellent cottage, very comfortable.

Lovely base to explore this part of North Wales. Nice village pub 3 mins away. Certainly revisit.
