“We really enjoyed our peaceful stay at the cottage, facilities were great lots of room.”

The beds were extremely comfortable we all slept really well. Not to far away from tourist places to visit. Overall a really nice stay would recommend staying here.

“The cottage is absolutely lovely, clean and welcoming.”

All the facilities we needed. Our only really issues were that the bins disappeared so I couldn’t put our recycling out or the waste bin, there weren’t clear instructions on leaving the key or what to do about stripping the bedding etc and the join between the kitchen and porch leaded when it rained so we ended up with a puddle in the kitchen most days! Other than those niggles it was a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend the cottage

- Sarah, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback and comments We are sorry about the recycling bins at the property. This issue has now been resolved. We weren't aware of the leak and we do have customers in the property at the moment that haven't reported any issues. We will make sure this is checked on changeover We are on hand to help customers with any issues during their stay and can be contacted at any time to assist I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Karen September 2023

“Lovely quiet location for a relaxing holiday, only short car ride to coast and shops.”

Cottage had everything we needed. Owner very helpful and friendly, gave advice on places to visit. Would highly recommend

Gerald July 2023

“We had a fantastic week in Pen Y Bryn.”

The owner Alison spoke to us on our arrival, and to make us feel welcome she had left a gorgeous lemon cake, a bottle of Prosecco and some fresh eggs. The cottage itself was lovely. The four bedrooms were all very generously sized doubles and the two sitting rooms were ideal for giving teenagers space. Although the cottage is definitely in the country , which we loved, you are never more than 10 minutes from everything you could need. I would say it was the perfect location for investigating North Wales.

- Gerald, July 2023
Noel June 2023

“The property was really welcoming and comfortable and an ideal base to explore North Wales.”

The lemon cake which our host, Alison, left for our arrival was yummy and her ideas and suggestions for places to go and eat were much appreciated too. We made use of the enclosed garden and patio area especially to wash our sea glass and enjoy a drink after a day out. Throughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

“The very narrow lanes to access the property should be highlighted.”

The downstairs shower didn't work properly. The lounge furniture was old and tired and one tv was faulty. The dining table and chairs were too big and so restricted access, the table covering was old and ill fitting and no cupboard space was left for our food. Dining outside was impossible as access from the kitchen was too difficult and the patio was finished with stones instead of paving so difficult for walking - especially for a 2 year old. There was further development ongoing on site, so it looked like a building site nearby and on the first 2 days we had to contend with smoke from the owners bonfires.

- Cathrine, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your recent stay at my cottage. I am sorry you found the lanes narrow coming towards the property, this is due to the rural location and we have no had issues with this in the past from any guests. I have checked the shower and it is fully working, if i had known there was an issue i would have been able to assit to get it working for you, we are always on hand to help. In regards to outside, as shown in our pictures, we do have slabs and stones to make access easier to go outside of the property. There is also a slabbed patio area where you can sit on the furniture provided. In regards to a lack of food space, the property does have an additional two fridge/freezers and cupboard to store food in. We are sorry you have had to raise these issues on your feedback and we are sorry the property was not what you expected. Property Owner

“We have just returned from a perfect week at Pen y Bryn.”

The cottage has such lovely spacious rooms ( there were 7 of us and we could easily lose each other and find privacy) with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. The safe well kept garden overlooking the horses was beautiful, the children loved it with its stunning views and a little stroll to more horses, chickens and the woods. Alison made us very welcome, and was always available should we have needed anything …a lovely host. Information is available, any deliveries and take aways were fast. …. The perfect place to unwind and recharge the batteries! The children are already planning their next visit! Thank you we enjoyed every minute!

“We have recently stayed at Pen Y Bryn Cottage with close family and our baby grandson.”

The cottage was perfect for our needs, lots of space, lovely bedrooms, it suited us perfectly. A welcome locally made lemon cake on our arrival was a lovely touch. Alison was very friendly and helpful and was on hand if we needed anything but not intrusive. A lovely area outside to sit and read and enjoy the countryside with the added plus of being 10 minutes from Llandudno and 45 minutes from Anglesey. We also went to Port Meirion which was under an hour and well worth a visit . In all a really lovely few days.

James April 2023

“Everything was great, the only issue was the broadband which was slow and made working remotely difficult.”

This could be an issue with the area rather than the property but it did create some difficulties for me and when out and about we generally found Wi-Fi coverage to be fine.

- James, April 2023
Ruth February 2023

“A lovely, comfortable, clean, spacious, well equipped cottage with easy parking and great views.”

The modern rooms have lovely decor amd lots of space. We visited in February and the cottage was lovely and cosy with a very efficient fire, some under floor heating and throws on the sofas. The garden would be lovely to sit out in in warmer months. The owner, Alison, is friendly and helpful. She was around if needed but never intrusive. The location is great, close to Llandudno. Conwy and Colwyn Bay and with easy access to many more places for day trips. Would recommend a stay here.

- Ruth, February 2023
David September 2022

“Fantastic cottage in a lovely location with great views.”

Very well appointed, clean, comfortable and a friendly, helpful owner. Just one very minor negative was that the Wi-Fi was a bit sketchy in one half of the house. Is definitely a property worth revisiting.

- David, September 2022
Andrew July 2022

“Pen Y Bryn Cottage is a wonderfully quiet spot with lots of handy walks and bridleways for the dogs, and views for the people.”

The cottage has everything and more that you could possibly need, and we felt at home immediately, having a drink in the garden next to fields with horses and woods with bats, rabbits and woodpeckers. Alison was there when needed (before, during and after our stay) and was really, welcoming, helpful and responsive - the lemon cake was most welcome on arrival too! So a really relaxing week in a great location and a cottage that is a cut above.

- Andrew, July 2022
Marilyn July 2022

“A beautifully restored and updated cottage.”

Very comfortable beds and all the home comforts that you need. Lovely setting and gorgeous views from the house and garden. The owner was very helpful if we needed anything and made us feel very welcome. Immaculately clean and well furnished and a holiday home we would love to re visit.

- Marilyn, July 2022
Elizabeth May 2022

“Stayed for one week, family of 8.”

Cottage in a great location, and the facilities of a very high standard. Very comfy beds and luxury bedding, loved the extra touches and was greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and delicious Lemon cake. Will definitely return, and would recommend as a base to explore Conwy and surrounding areas. Alison was on hand if we needed anything which was much appreciated. Libby

- Elizabeth, May 2022
Karl April 2022

“We have just returned from an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage and cannot wait to return.”

We were a party of 6 adults and a teenager plus 2 dogs and each had plenty of room. 2 lounges with sofas and TVs in these one we didnt use but the other we did and it had netflix! There are 4 king size beds one with an en-suite beds where so comfy and clean. Cottage itself was very clean with gas stove dishwasher and oven and all the utensils we needed. Grounds where lovely with stunning views and horses in the fields around us and chickens running round which all added to the countryside feel. It was so peaceful however supermarkets/pubs/restaurants/beaches and tourist attractions are all within ten minute drive. To the rear of the cottage is an enclosed garden ideal for the dogs to run around safely and seating/bbq area. The owner Alison was very helpful checking if we needed anything and giving us local information and restaurant recommendations. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Alison, Karl & Emma

Diane March 2022

“``A really spacious cottage, the bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful.”

Well equiped, we really enjoyed our stay. Centrally positioned for Conway and LLandudno. Fire in lounge was brilliant, peacful location. Very helpful owner.

- Diane, March 2022
Barbara December 2021

“Cottage in a great position for holiday but would have found it very difficult to find without satnav, directions need clarity.”

Bedrooms vary from outstanding to not so good. Good amount of equipment in kitchen but would appeal for wine glasses that fit in the dishwasher. Seems a small thing but a house for 8 people over the festive period meant constant washing by hand. Overall we would recommend to others.

- Barbara, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The property is in an ideal location which is very popular with holidaymakers. The owner is on hand to help with any questions that you have and had you raised the issue about the glasses, she would have sorted it for you. The bedrooms are all decorated to the same standard and are decorated and furnished to a high standard. The dishwashers are all one standard size and wine glasses are usually taller but can be fitted into the dishwasher. We provide the directions and there have been no problems with these in the past. Thank you for your recommendation for the property. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Penelope November 2021

“This is a super property.”

It is extremely spacious and very well equipped and we were very comfortable and cosy despite a ferocious storm passing through during our stay. We had a super long-awaited family weekend. The owner was a great communicator. She had rung ahead of our stay to offer to take in any online grocery delivery and had made the house warm and cosy for our late arrival. Lovely welcoming touches. Nothing would have been too much trouble had we needed anything. I have no hesitation recommending this property.

- Penelope, November 2021
Louise October 2021

“The cottage was perfect for a cosy break in November with a lovely roaring fire, extremely comfortable beds in very spacious bedrooms and good location for exploring the beaches and towns of North Wales.”

- Louise, October 2021
Sian October 2021

“Stayed here with three generations of family and two dogs.”

Loved the cottage, so clean and comfortable. Although it was really cosy and warm it also felt very spacious and we had plenty of room each. Had the best nights sleep, beds super comfortable. Owner really helpful and welcoming. All loved it - especially the dogs! and we would love to return. Fab views from the woods at the back of the property and lots of space for dogs to run around. The snug proved a hit with teenage boy who brought his Nintendo along to hook up to the monitor in there. Upstairs shower was also a big hit, as was the living room fire. If ‘Just Eat’ is your thing then be reassured that 12 restaurants/takeaways deliver to the address. We had fish and chips delivered that were excellent. We also had domino’s delivered one evening (teenage boys!) We also had a Tesco delivery on our arrival to save us travelling up with food/drink. So, whilst you feel very remote, there are lots of options on your doorstep. WiFi is a bit slow when multiple parties are online (they can’t get fibre there yet) but 4g signal excellent. We played board games as a family every evening and although we brought our own with us there is a cupboard packed full of jigsaws & games. We made great use of our NT passes and had some lovely days out, with a trip to Anglesey being a highlight. Would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Stunning views Highly recommended

Hilary September 2020

“Overall we were disappointed with the accommodation.”

Sykes directions to the property, which is difficult to find and not on Street View, were completely useless. The newer parts of the house were spacious, comfortable and clean, although there were pillows provided which didn't have pillow protectors which is unacceptable in this current climate. The kitchen and living spaces were cluttered and needed a deep clean and all utensils that we used had to be washed prior to use. It was also disappointing that the main shower was out of action due to a leak.

- Hilary, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you had difficulty locating the property, previous guests have not had reported this as a problem before. Feedback regarding the cleanliness of the property has always been of a high standard however, should you have made us aware of any problems during your stay then we would have endeavoured to rectify these for you. We can only apologise for any inconvenience caused by one of the showers being out of use, the leak was out of the owners hands and is being addressed. Thank you. Property Owner

Lovely comfy cottage - packed with home from home comforts - perfect location - ideal for a wonderful family holiday - welcoming and helpful host ❤️

Allan August 2020

“It met expectations because we stayed before - otherwise I'd say 'Exceeded'!”

We had a delightful holiday (and have booked to return next year): the location is perfect, the view is wonderful, and the cottage itself is spacious and well-equipped. Beaches are a ten-minute drive away and are themselves ideal for swimming, for pets, and especially for children. The owner is helpful and responsive. It's one of the best places we're stayed, and you can't give higher praise than that!

The cottage was amazing and we had a wonderful time. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Thanks Rachel and Family

Sandra January 2020

“Our stay was fantastic.”

Location was perfect to meet our needs. The owner was unobtrusive but available if we needed assistance. The facilities were of an exceptionally high standard. We would certainly recommend Pen Y Bryn Cottage to others.

Chloe December 2019

“The cottage was lovely, and very clean throughout!”

The owner allowed us to check in early, and even allowed us to leave an hour after the normal checkout time. The owner Alison, was on hand whenever we needed and was easy to contact at all times. The rooms in the cottage were gorgeous, and the beds were so comfortable! We stayed as a family of 8, and the cottage was plenty big enough for all of us. I would 100% recommend, and would love to return in the future!

- Chloe, December 2019
Kay November 2019

“We spent 3 days at the cottage and had a lovely time there.”

The owner of the cottage who lives opposite was very welcoming and very accommodating offering advice and help when needed. The cottage itself is very pretty and homely with all you need there. Not far from Conwy ,Llandudno and Snowdonia with lots of spectacular views we feel it was a good choice of cottage.

- Kay, November 2019
David October 2019

“We had a very relaxing family break here, the kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms very comfortable (lovely beds!”

). It was a real treat enjoying the open fire with the wood there for you. Although the location is rural and quite remote (well it seemed it to those of us who live in towns) its only a short drive into Llandudno and we had food delivered one night too. Definitely recommended.

- David, October 2019
Matthew October 2019

“Pen Y Bryn is a very comfortable and well presented large holiday cottage and was ideal for 3 groups of our family visiting North Wales together.”

The ground floor bedrooms are in their own separate wing from the original house and there are 3 separate entrances to the property so family groups can be as independent or communal as they like. The current photos don’t really do the property justice particularly the upstairs bedrooms which are far better than the photos suggest. NB This property is located in a remote hamlet several miles up narrow country lanes above Conwy and Llandudno however it’s still a great location for exploring North Wales and Snowdonia. The owners live around the corner in the neighbouring farmhouse in case of any issues but the layout of Pen Y Bryn means neither owners nor guests will feel overlooked. This property is yet another that we have booked through Sykes which has fitted our holiday needs perfectly.

- Matthew, October 2019
Dudley September 2019

“This cottage far exceeded our expectations.”

The photos do not do it justice. There are 4 generous sized and well-furnished bedrooms, with 2 great bathrooms. We would use again for sure. The area is peaceful and is within easy reach of the main towns, shops, and local attractions. We would recommend Pen Y Bryn Cottage and the surrounding area.

- Dudley, September 2019
Jenny August 2019

“The cottage was perfect for 6 members of our family and the 2 dogs loved the freedom of the surroundings.”

We love Llandudno anyway and we had a trip to Anglesey. Would definitely recommend the cottage.

- Jenny, August 2019
Sarah July 2019

“A well appointed cottage.”

Just perfect for 2 families to share. Expensively furnished. There was nothing that could be improved upon.

- Sarah, July 2019
Terry March 2019

“Excellent comfortable, quite, warm Cottage.”

Lovely location only 10 mins from everything you might need. Masses of well kept garden area, large luxurious rooms with great en-suite & family bathroom. Two well laid out Lounges with both having log burners which we used with the wood supplied. Plenty of Family games supplied, lots of info to local places. TV reception was not good but that the Welsh Mountains for you. Lovely modern kitchen [although the dishwasher decided to stop working on our trip] with plenty of cupboards, crockery & cutlery. Vaccum broke so couldn`t clean dog hairs up as we would have liked to. Owner was great - very helpful, very nice, very quick to get dishwasher replaced [next day !!] & would not hesitate to go back or rent one of her other properties.

- Terry, March 2019
Vivienne March 2019

“Pen Y Bryn is a beautiful cottage, set high on a hill, with sea views from the well-maintained garden.”

Despite it being a cold and blustery March weekend, the cottage was warm and cosy. We went as 3 family units to celebrate a 60th birthday and found it ideal: all the rooms are large so it meant there was plenty of space to sit or eat together without it feeling crowded, even with dogs, 6 adults and 4 toddlers in the party. We loved the stylish, co-ordinated decor throughout and appreciated all the extra touches such as the luxurious bedding and towels and well-stocked kitchen. We would give Pen Y Bryn and the owners 5 stars because everything was so homely, tasteful and of such good quality. We’d have no hesitation in recommending it and very much hope to return in the future.

About the location

LLANDUDNO

Conwy 4 miles, Colwyn Bay 6 miles, Snowdonia 20 miles.

Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey. For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town has an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy and visiting orchestras, boasting a programme that is second to none - all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away - there's plenty to see and do!
