Traditional farmhouse accommodation in Eryri (Snowdonia) | Bryn-Weirglodd

We had a lovely short break in this beautiful house. It is a stunning place to stay and is equipped with everything you need. The Welcome Pack was full of traditional Welsh products – very thoughtful.
We have only positive things to say and might return one day in a different season. (We were here during Storm Dennis – it was very wet!)
Thank you Medwen.

In one word- amazing.
In two words- totally amazing.
Let’s use more words, shall we?
We (7 people, One is disabled) have been in Bryn Weirglodd in September for a week, and enjoyed every moment.
First of all, the cottage is big and incredibly beautiful. The area itself is lovely too, for the cottage is remote (but you can still reach to Porthmadog, the nearest town, in no time).
The owner left us everything we might need, and I mean EVERYTHING: from soap, towels, plates and WiFi connection (you have no signal in your phone this area), through binoculars, Wii, big TV and books, to wood for the fireplace, kitchen equipments and welsh traditional food (milk, bread, cakes, snacks…you name it. Everything is locally made). Just bring your own clothes and you will be fine.
Talking about the accessability, I can say only that the lower floor of the cottage was the most wheelchair friendly house that I have ever seen, even more than my own house. Roll-in shower, low sink, wide corridors and so on. All the so-called “accessible” hotels in Britain- watch and learn, folks.
The only disadvantage of the place (I have to find one, you see. If the place will become too popular, I won’t be able to book it for my next vacation!) is that the place is way too cozy. With big TV, fireplace, lovely lounge and comfortable armchairs, nobody in my family wanted to go outside and actually do stuff!
Our vacation was one week, which is definitely too short.

Highly recommended,
Meron Sheffer

Great quiet location with amazing views. The house is spacious, modern and had everything we needed. We would definitely return.

A stunning well equipped property in a wonderful location with an en suite place of interest in the old slate mine, my family and I had a wonderful stay, the drive from Southampton was horrendous but North Wales is wonderful and we shall return.

It was not the same today waking up I missed the shy sheep, only downside I can think of is the grounds of the property are small as you have no access to the surrounding fields which are part of the property but rented out, I must have missed that in the description so kite flying and cricket and football had to be done elsewhere, the local Black Rock beach was huge, you can drive on it and park up for the day for a fiver so the above activities can be accommodated there, there was no tumble dryer so winter stays in the rain drying out stuff I would imagine would be a nightmare.

Ultimately would we stay again yes in an instance.

BRYN-WEIRGLODD IS IN A STUNNING LOCATION. WE HAD THE MOST FANTASTIC MIDWEEK BREAK IN THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME. THE PICTURES APTLY DESCRIBED THE HOUSE AND WE COULD NOT FAULT IT IT ANYWAY. IF I WERE TO MAKE ONE SUGGESTION, THAT WOULD BE TO CONSIDER MORE COMFORTABLE SOFAS. SORRY IF THAT SOUNDS FUSSY.
LOVED THE WELCOME BACK AND OUR HOST WAS FANTASTIC. WILL CERTAINLY ‘VE BOOKING SOON AGAIN. WE HAVE TOLD ALL OUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT SO EXOECT A LOT OF BOOKINGS FROM HEREFORD.
REGARDS THE CHETTY FAMILY

While the house is a bit unprepossessing from outside,it is situated in a lovely position and is extremely attractive inside: light and spacious, tastefully furnished and with beautiful views from almost all the windows.The sheep tended to wake up rather early and served as an unexpected alarm clock (but with such comfortable beds it was easy to get back to sleep!)and I wouldn’t have wanted it otherwise. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A beautiful house in a stunning mountain location and yet so close to the facilities in Porthmadog too. Everything you could wish for (including the lovely welcome pack) and such helpful friendly owners too; thank-you Medwen and family.

It was certainly hard to leave and we plan to be back one day.

Excellent house, immaculately maintained and cleaned. Well equipped kitchen. Superb location seemingly remote but only 15 minutes to Porthmadog. Plenty of walking and cycling routes from the house. The accommodation was ideal for our family (Grandparents, son, daughter in law and 1 year old and 1 year old). Downstairs bedroom and shower room for oldies meant quiet nights for us. The lounge is enormous giving plenty of room for running around and for playing with the large boxes of Lego and other toys.

Great stay in a lovely property. Our group had the most amazing weekend away. The weather was glorious and allowed us to enjoy all the attractions and beaches close by. The house itself is beautifully furnished and impeccably clean. The kitchen in particular has everything you could wish for and more. We would love to come back again – thank you.

Beautiful week spent in your comfortable house. Well appointed, well supplied, generous welcoming pack. Lovely position. We had a small problem which was dealt with by the owners promptly, and efficiently. Our only small fault would be a nest of coffee tables would be an advantage.

We would have no problem re-booking this house.

What a lovely house! Comfy beds, big soft plentiful towels, thoughtfully and well equipped kitchen, lovely warm log burner with logs, scenic rural views on all sides – we could not have asked for more.
This well maintained and spacious house is one of the best self catering options we’ve ever stayed in. Medwen’s friendly welcome and the amazing arrival pack were much appreciated.
Having never really visited Snowdonia before we were bowled over by the beautiful scenery, friendly people and wealth of amenity. We are now hooked and hope to return soon!

Lovely house in a beautiful location. We loved our week’s stay.

Our second stay at Bryn-Weirglodd and every bit as enjoyable as the first. House immaculately clean on arrival and everything needed for a comfortable stay is provided, including a substantial welcome pack which was very much appreciated! Peaceful location, but only a short 15 min drive to Porthmadog and well placed for exploring the whole of Snowdonia. Friendly & helpful owners. We would highly recommend this property as a comfortable home-from-home for exploring North wales & Snowdonia.

Have stayed in self-catering 3 times a year for 15 years now and must say this ranks amongst the top quality properties. Great location (very private and secluded while only a few minutes drive back to a main road), nearby ruin is great fun for kids, very high quality interior, spacious and comfortable, helpful and accommodating owners. Would definitely recommend as well as re-book myself.
Only suggestions might be: a lock on the downstairs disabled toilet would be less stressful; and the pressure on the water system perhaps needs increased to cope with showering while using other taps. But honestly, it is such a tasteful, clean, well fitted property that accommodates 8 people very comfortably, I have no real complaints! Very reasonably priced too.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely, well equipped cottage. The gift basket of lovely goodies was an additional, much appreciated touch. The cottage is comfortable and surrounded by stunning valleys and mountain views. We enjoyed a walk to discover the abandoned Slate Mine too. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a break in Snowdonia.

This was a lovely friendly house with all amenities. We have stayed in quite a few holiday rentals and this was one of the best.It has terrific views, space for everything and a lovely kitchen which gets the morning sun.The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms spacious. It’s location is gorgeous with short walks and longer ones too on the doorstep. We were sorry to leave.

We enjoyed our week stay in your very well equipped farmhouse – the property really had everything – and the views were tremendous (the mini heatwave we had was an added bonus).
We had some great hikes starting on our doorstep and also discovered the great beaches and coastal paths on the Lleyn peninsular – Whistling Sands (Porthor) , Llanbedrog and Aberdaron.
A nice touch was your welcome pack of local produce.
We would recommend this property wholeheartedly and look forward to a return visit.
kind regards Dave & Yvonne

The house was very clean and spacious. Everything anyone could ask for. Would definitely recommend this house to everyone.

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous with amazing views, fully equipped kitchen with a welcome hamper. Lots of toys, books and board games for the kids. We will definitely be booking another Dioni cottage. We didn’t want to leave, thanks for a great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Bryn Weirglodd. A comfortable,beautifully equipped house in a beautiful location. The added bonus was the excellent disabled facilities as my husband unfortunately had had an accident the week before which left him with one leg in plaster.
The whole family appreciated the wonderful goodies in the welcome basket and the fresh milk etc in the fridge.
The children loved being so close to the lambs especially when they came in to the garden.
The only thing my son in law missed was a Yorkshire pudding baking tray!
Thank you Medwen for visiting to ensure we had all we needed. I would highly recommend this holiday home.

Absolutely beautiful farmhouse. Stunning views. The owner lovely and the welcome pack amazing. Could not fault it. Lots of toys etc for the children and well equipped. A very lovely holiday enjoyed by all. We were sad to have to leave. I have already recommended to friends and family.

The house was lovely and spacious and well equipped. Very comfortable. The location was also great with plenty to do in area and lovely walks to do from the house itself.

A beautiful holiday home in the most perfect of settings. Enjoyed a 5 night autumn stay while visiting family in nearby Porthmadog. One member of our party is a wheelchair user and the facilities were perfect, but did not detract from the house for anyone who isn’t disabled.

The house was lovely and warm and we also made full use of the log burner too. The old mill just at the back of the house was great for exploring with the kids- and we also walked up to the lake which was a lovely walk. We visited Porthmadog, Criccieth, Pwllheli and Caernarfon while there- the first 2 only 10-15 minutes away, and the latter no more than half an hour. The castle at Caernarfon was lovely with the poppies exhibition, and we popped to Fron Goch garden centre nearby for a nice lunch. Would also recommend Dylans in Criccieth where we also enjoyed a walk along the front.

Most of all, though, we loved being in the cottage enjoying the fabulous views from every window and left relaxed and rested- can’t wait to find a time to stay again!

WOW !We really did not know what to expect we arrived late on friday night, opened up the cottage , we all ran around shouting look at this as we opened a door to find yet another amazing room .The whole house was perfect a welcome pack and note off the owner everything we needed had been catered for, We had a great time exploring the old slate mine and the llyn ystradllyn at end of the road !! However there is one serious drawback that really upset us all ?????? We couldn’t stay any longer and had to return home on sunday !!!!! But we shall definately be coming back !!! Thank you very much

What a wonderful week in the most wonderful place. This cottage had everything anyone could need and could not fault a thing. The owner was friendly, helpful and went beyond to make our stay fantastic. We had great weather, climbed Snowden, took the car on black rock sands and went on the festiniogg railway. There were 4 adults, 4 teenage girls and our little girl who celebrated her 1st birthday here. Everyone of us enjoyed everything. Would highly recommend to anyone, it’s truly special.

What a lovely place for our family holiday. Really comfortable with everything we needed. Excellent downstairs facilities for the less mobile and lots of toys to keep the little ones happy and really comfortable beds. Spectacular views and very peaceful. Had lovely days out at Criccieth, Black Rock Sands, steam train to Bedgellert and to the top of Snowdon, exploring round the lake and the slate mill ruin. Would not hesitate to recommend to others and would definately like to return. Thank you.

Great property & location in every respect – secluded, but not isolated, with many places in the Snowdonia area within easy reach and just the sound of the sheep in the nearby fields to wake up to in the morning!
We also appreciated the welcome pack on arrival and the house was very well equipped and spotlessly clean.
Ideal base for either a quiet, relaxing break, visiting the numerous attractions in the area or for keen walkers wanting to get out & about in the very picturesque countryside

The house is fantastic, in a lovely, quiet location. No problems at all getting to the property or when we were there. The host was lovely as well, and we loved the welcome hamper. Would definitely come back again!!!

Such a clear, informative and easy booking process, and the “cottage” – so well equipped and comfortable, and unbeatable position and views; no sound of traffic – only sheep and birds (and wind in the tree sometimes!)but easy enough to get to the shops and a whole range of the best of Snowdonia – both sea and mountains. And Medewan a perfect combination of welcome and helpfulness, yet never intrusive. In fact, unbeatable all round!

Stayed at this house over Xmas 2015 two families with 2 kids of 5 years and was perfect. The views are amazing from the farmhouse which includes watching the daily routine if the sheep. The owners were very welcoming and helpful for attractions. The house itself is very clean and has everything you need. Would recommend a lazy afternoon walk to the lake nearby whilst also visiting the old slate mill that can be seen from the kitchen window. We are thinking of booking a return trip in the summer.

We had such a lovely stay in this lovely farmhouse. The owners left us a very indulgent hamper which was delicious! The house itself is furnished to a very high and comfortable standard with lots of appliances and extras which just makes your stay that extra bit comfortable! The location itself was a real bonus! Totally tranquil and relaxing with only the sound of sheep and cows to be heard! Another bonus is the accessibility of this accomodation with ramps, wide doors, an accessible wet room and spacious ground floor bedroom. I will defintely be returning at some point as this accessible farmhouse makes it possible for me to arrange a large family get away where these facilities would be utilised. Many thanks to the owners, we will be back!

A really lovely property, with everything we needed, which was spacious, well equipped, had great bathroom facilities, and surrounded by sheep (a welcome addition for the kids). We loved the generous ‘welcome pack’, whose contents were devoured within the first few days. The property was in a very good location, with access to nearby amenities (Tescos/Lidl). Would highly recommend to families with young children/elderly requiring a downstairs bedroom/bathroom facilities.

We had a fantastic stay 25 July – 1 August. There were 8 adults and 1 baby but still plenty of space. The house is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very warm. Fabulous welcome pack too!
In terms of facilities with a little one who is just about to turn 1 the house was brilliant, two big boxes of toys and even a baby monitor (had we realised we wouldn’t have brought anything for him to play with).
The views are spectacular and it felt lovely and secluded with only a short drive to everything we needed. We would love to go back and would highly recommend it. Thank you so much!

Thanks for a lovely week – everything was as expected and more. The welcome basket was delicious and the goodies disappeared very quickly! The house was spacious and very well-equiped. We were not expecting so many toys – which kept my grandson occupied in the early evenings.

As a wheelchair-user it was wonderful to go somewhere that said it was wheelchair friendly and actually was!! The downstairs bedroom was spacious and airy with a lovely view from the patio doors. The bathroom was well-designed and equipped with all a wheelchair-user might need – the free standing soap, shampoo rack was a boon too as you could place all you needed where it best suited you during your shower.

While Bryn Weirglodd is beautifully remote and quiet, it was just minutes to the centre of Porthmadog and it took hardly any time to reach beautiful beaches, wonderful Snowdonia and lots of other great places.

Thanks Medwen for popping by to see us on the Sunday evening to check all was ok – that was such a nice thing to do and made us feel even more welcome.

We intend to visit again.

Thank You for our stay sat 23rd May to 30th May, A wonderful, well equiped accomodation, a wonderful welcome jesture, and wonderful surroundings topped off with wonderful weather made this the perfect setting for a wonderful halt term break with our family. Hope to return.

A fabulous 2 week break for 6 of us plus 2 grandchildren aged 6 and 8. Bryn-Weirglodd was perfect for us – beaches a few minutes drive away, mountains and walks on the doorstep, shops about 10 minutes away and a perfect location for touring. The tranquility and peace were idyllic. The children loved watching the sheep and lambs in the fields around the house and literally at the garden gate. Bryn-Weirglodd is a lovely furnished house to visit, spacious with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The views from every room in the house are spectacular. A big thank you to Medwen the owner for making our break so memorable and for providing the best welcome food basket we have ever seen!

We had a great week in your lovely cottage thank you. When the mist cleared! the views were lovely, and the the house was warm with plenty of space for our two families. Some walking maps or books of the area might have been useful, but I can’t think of anything else that the house needed, its all provided.

Excellent facility, warm, well equipped and spacious. Very generous welcome pack and we appreciated a call from the owner to make sure everything was ok.

Our second stay at Bryn-Weirglodd and we will be back! In our party are 4 adults and 3 children. The house is so beautifully decorated and well equipped, clearly a lot of care goes into considering the guests. When you arrive you are greeted by the most amazing welcome hamper and fresh treats in the fridge too, plus that important carton of milk for a lovely cuppa after your journey. The views are breathtaking from every window.

While the property is secluded (which we love) you are only a short drive away from Porthmadog where there are supermarkets, gift shops and takeaway food outlets. The walks from the house are amazingly and our children loved spending time at the old Slate Mill exploring. There is so much to do out and about and we found the leaflets in the house, together with the wi-fi access great for planning our day trips.

Thank you to the owner, who has always been so lovely and helpful for ensuring we once again had a lovely stay.

Diolch yn fawr (my attempt at Welsh)

Fantastic accommodation. 6 adults and 2 children enjoyed a fab week long stay over New Year. The cottage is well equipped, well maintained, and perfectly decorated. We all had an excellent time and would definitely recommend.

A great place for a holiday en famille. It was lovely to have such spacious accommodation for our mum in the downstairs room. The welcome hamper was so much better than in many other properties we have stayed in and was gratefully appreciated, particularly as all the products were Welsh and local! The location was wonderful and we enjoyed early morning walks up and around the lake and hills. Too short a time to do the area justice.

We thought the facilities in the accommodation were excellent. Our 93 year old father who needs a wheelchair for out and about but is able to walk with sticks inside, really appreciated being on a flat level with no steps, grab handles in the on suite, higher toilet and seat in the shower. This made his stay much more enjoyable. As with other peoples comments as he stands to shave the mirror was too low, perhaps a long mirror there would cater for different heights, also a larger sink to wash in. Another idea could be to have towel rail stands in the bedrooms upstairs. These are just suggestions we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful, wonderful scenery and in an area we love to explore.

It has took us a long time to find a place that caters for the elderly so while ever dad is around we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. The welcome pack was fantastic we savoured every mouthful.

Thankyou

We loved staying in this delightful house. It is surrounded by beautiful and tranquil countryside, and we loved being able to light a real fire on chilly days. It seems to be miles from anywhere and yet it was ideally placed for all we wanted to do. We hope to return soon

A really well appointed house in the most beautiful setting. We were delighted to have a real fire for the chilly days, and we loved the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside. It was hard to leave, and we would love to stay again.

We discovered this fantastic place last year and fell in love! We visited again last week and we were still as impressed as before. The location is amazing…total peace and quiet, overlooking the beautiful Moel Hebog mountain and the slate mill, with a lake within 5 mins walk. Everything we could ever need was supplied by the owner Medwen and her lovely family including logs, cakes, fudge, flowers, and a really friendly welcome. It is close to the coast and lovely beaches, 10 minutes from mountain and valley walks (we climbed Snowdon twice this year as weather was fab) 10 mins from shops in Porthmadog but if you don’t want to drive…there are incredible walks right on the doorstep! We are hikers and have stayed in lots of cottages over the years and this is by far the best we have ever booked. We’ll be back as soon as we can!!

Bryn Weirglodd was everything we were hoping it would be – comfortable, welcoming and peaceful. We all, including the 5 kids (15-21,) loved the cottage and the surrounding countryside. It was such a wonderful feeling to wake up each morning and watch the different clouds form over the mountains and old slate mill while hearing the sheep bleat in the fields. I don’t think we could have found a more relaxing location. Yet it was still so close to civilization that we could buy fresh bread every day and make easy day trips to the many beautiful places nearby. I fell in love with Wales and with Bryn Weirglodd and hope to return again one day.

We had a great time in North-Wales (where the weather was mostly dry and warm ! How lucky ! ) and the farmhouse Bryn Weirglodd was really nice and cosy.

We really enjoyed our stay but unfortunately one week was too short and we were extremely sad to leave that lovely, peaceful and restful place. We wish we could have stayed longer because we really felt at home in one of the best cottages we’ve ever booked.

The scenery from the windows was beautiful and so restful and we really enjoyed watching the sheep wandering around the house.

The few suggestions to improve this almost perfect cottage are the same as the ones mentionned by a few other guests : more cutlery (enough for 3 meals a day so as to use the dishwasher only once a day) and another frying pan (1 isn’t enough for 8 people) and another wooden spoon to stir without damaging the pans. But apart from those minor things, the cottage contained everything we needed and we appreciated the welcome pack. So we may be back one day !

Thank you to Medwen for this lovely, comfortable and tastefully-furnished holiday cottage.

We had a lovely time in Wales made all the better by this property, such high standard of content in the house, everything you could need in the kitchen, lounge was most comfortable, the downstairs bedroom was perfect & very well equipped for special needs. The 1st floor bedrooms also very spacious.

All in all it was 1st class in every way, thank you.

A really lovely property, finished to a very good standard, in a very beautiful location. A very peaceful location with stunning views.

We had a really good week at Bryn Weirglodd. The accommodation is spacious and very well done and the location is lovely. The welcome pack was excellent, some really scrummy items plus dishwasher tablets, soaps, cloths etc. The whole family (all adults) agreed that we would stay at this cottage again and I am already thinking about 2015.

We had a copule of minor criticisms. One is that, as another guest has mentioned, a higher mirror in the downstairs shower room suitable for the able bodied is needed. The other is that we could have done with a bit more cutlery, it was quite easy to run out of knives and there were no wooden or nylon spoons for cooking, nor a wire whisk. Having said that, these are minor points in what is generally a very well equipped and comfortable property with lots of space for clothes and really excellent towels.

This was the perfect location for a group/family holiday, with one member in a wheelchair. The downstairs suite was designed by someone who understood the need for space for transfers to bed and within the bathroom. This helped make the location perfect for a 2 week stay for all the family, though eating lamb on Easter Monday seemed a little insensitive considering what was in all the surrounding fields!

Although the house is very isolated and a car is necessary for all but the hardiest of walkers, there is plenty within a short car ride to visit and for children to do- both beaches and NT properties.
We loved it and may be back!

We have had a fantastic week in Wales. The house is BEAUTIFUL, everything so welcoming and very comfortable , and yes scrummy welcome pack – thank you. The location is amazing – 360 degree fabulous views and so peaceful. We were very lucky with the weather and had most of our meals outside looking at the wonderful views. We would recommend anyone to stay in this lovely house. Thank you again.

This is a lovely place to stay in. The house is in a gorgeous location, great views from every window! A comfortable and spacious house and warm. Owner very friendly and helpful and leaves yummy goodies to eat! Will be back another time…..:-)

We all thoroughly enjoyed the break – the house great and views lovely. We would certainly go again and I would recommend it to friends.

Kind Regards
Betty

The Powell/Ashford families enjoyed a fantastic week at Bryn Weirglodd, with it’s breathtaking scenery and extremeley comfortable and well equipped accomadation. Cricceith, Black rock sands and Port Merion are essential visiting must does and don’t forget the striking ruin.

One small suggestion the fabulous disabled facility could be made slightly more able bodied friendly by providing a more suitably positioned mirror to accomate easier shaving and hair dressing activties without the need to bend and crouch.

A really lovely property, finished to a very good standard, in a very beautiful location. A very peaceful location with stunning views.
