    “Just back from a week’s stay at Bryn Aber Bach.”

    We had a fantastic time with our daughter and her friend. The cottage is charming, even the slightly creaky floorboards in the top rooms add to the character of the building. On arrival Ursula greeted us and made a real fuss of our cockapoo, and made us feel welcome. She’s great with dogs. We then went into the property and we were delighted by the welcome basket a personalised card, home cooked brownies which were a welcome treat after a long drive, homemade marmalade, milk and cheese ...

We then went into the property and we were delighted by the welcome basket a personalised card, home cooked brownies which were a welcome treat after a long drive, homemade marmalade, milk and cheese. Perfect. The cottage has everything you could need, we cooked quite a few meals with no trouble. The lounge is cosy and I imagine in the winter the fire must make it even more welcoming. We found the cottage clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable and we liked it had two bathrooms. An excellent addition is the coffee machine - just bring some pods so after you have had the complimentary ones you can continue to enjoy it. We found the website of the cottage useful, especially the favourites section; had we not read about the osprey and lifeboat station we would have totally missed out on these fantastic opportunities. We saw the birds nesting and we got to actually go on a lifeboat! The walk behind the cottage through the graveyard, past the well and up to the Neolithic fort is well worth the steep incline over some loose rocks. The girls loved it and what a panoramic view at the top, mountains one way and sea the next. It makes you feel like you are in the middle of a postcard. Dog bowl, blanket and a towel to clean off the dog is all provided, but we brought our own. The washer dryer was good as it meant we could wash our swimwear and towels and have clean ones for the next time. Although hot tub towels are provided we brought our microfibre ones as they are quick driving. Hot tub at the end of the day was delightful. We all enjoyed this and were in it every day. The cottage is in a good location for many sights providing you have access to a car. We went to greenwood park with girls it’s an eco theme park; the girls loved it. We took a train up Snowdon; well worth the money if you feel unable to walk up it. We want to walk it next time we come. Zip world is well worth a visit we did bounce below which the girls enjoyed; and then a five minute drive from there is a group of water falls, called Cwmorthin Waterfalls. It is an old slate quarry. Great walk up a slate road to the falls and a reservoir at the top. The girls had a paddle at the bottom of the falls and enjoyed stepping over the stones. Our dog enjoyed swimming in the water. There are some super views at the top. We then drove down to the lakeside cafe for coffee and cake which was nice. Pwllheli nature reserve and promenade walk was pretty and a good way to stretch your legs, welsh gold ice cream is sold at caffi largo by the dunes, dogs are welcome, - very tasty and good value. We would definitely book the cottage again and recommend it to friends.

The property

Tucked away in the quaint village of Llangybi near Chwilog in Gwynedd, next to the owner's home, is this fantastic two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage, Bryn Aber Bach.

Enjoying a superb location within a conservation area, as well as an interior which has been finished to a high standard and perfectly blends contemporary and traditional touches, Bryn Aber Bach makes for a wonderful pet-friendly dwelling for two couples or a family of four plus their canine companion who are looking for their next adventure to North Wales.

Park up on the spacious driveway, before unloading your bags and taking in your peaceful surroundings.

Step inside your home-from-home for the trip and unlace your walking boots in the convenient porch area, before hanging your coats and giving your pawed pal a quick towel dry and heading into the main living areas.

Be welcomed into the well-equipped kitchen, where you can look forward to whipping up flavourful dishes with the help of the electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and handy dishwasher, ensuring a fuss-free clean-up!

Settle down at the dining table for four as you tuck-in to a delicious meal and make plans for the days ahead, followed by a delicious frothy coffee from the Nespresso coffee maker.

If the weather is nice, why not take advantage and fire up the barbecue in the rear enclosed garden and dine alfresco, as your four-legged friend stretches their legs?

If you’re not ready for the evening to end, treat yourself to an indulgent soak in the bubbling hot tub for a night under the stars.

Retreat inside to the sitting room, where you can snuggle up on the three-seater sofa and select your favourite film from the Smart TV, or choose a book to enjoy on one of two quality armchairs, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby.

As your eyes grow heavy, climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find two well-presented king-size bedrooms, one with TV and en-suite bathroom, the other with en-suite shower room, both perfect for preparing for the day in style.

Explore your local surroundings where, just a stone’s throw away, you will find the Cadw Heritage site of St Cybi’s Well, where you can wander the historic surroundings of a secluded holy well that rests at the base of the Llŷn Peninsula.

Take the short drive over to Chwilog, where you can sample the local delights in the welcoming Y Madryn pub, ideal for those evenings where you fancy a night off from the kitchen, along with the popular Povey Butchers, where you can stock up on ingredients and essentials to enjoy in the comfort of Bryn Aber Bach.

Next stop is the bustling town of Criccieth, home to an impressive castle built by the former Welsh prince, Llywelyn the Great, and the beautiful Criccieth Beach, where you can bathe on the sands, paddle the shores or build sandcastles with the little ones.

Venture into the Snowdonia National Park, where you can embark up the famous 3,560-ft Snowdon Peak which offers incomparable views across the park, or if you don’t fancy making the hike, the Eryri (Snowdon) Mountain Railway is available from the village of Llanberis.

There are scenic walking trails aplenty, as well as the historic village of Beddgelert, where you can visit the renowned Gelerts Grave or hop aboard a vintage steam train at the heritage railway station.

With endless opportunities to make long-lasting memories, choose Bryn Aber Bach for your next holiday.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
