A brilliant cottage in a lovely area. We could see the sea and mount snowdon from the garden. It has everything you could possibly need on your holiday and is very clean and well looked after. Located in an area where you can go to a lot of places very quickly. Try a hidden gem of a beach at Aberdesach, only 12 miles away. Lots of pheasants, hares, rabbitts and birds of prey seen as well. Loved the holiday, will return.

Another fantastic stay at Bryn Caled- it was lovely to see the Llyn Peninsula at another time of year. As always the welcome hamper and ‘home from home’ feel were much appreciated. Waking up to such lovely views is a real highlight.
This time the weather was much more mixed, but this gave us the chance to explore a bit more. The Woodland Wanderer train from Porthmadog was a really nice morning out, and it meant we visited somewhere we probably wouldn’t have gone otherwise. We also loved the National Slate Mining Museum (the waterwheel is amazing!) and Sygun Copper Mine is well worth a visit- I’d recommend either for families, especially on a rainy day.
Rebecca Downer
An absolutely amazing cottage. From the moment we stepped inside we felt welcomed and home. Stunning views, impeccably clean, comfortable and private. A perfect base for beaches and walks. Genuinely we could not have asked for anything more. We did not want to leave. A wonderful break which we will definitely be repeating.
Andy Parton
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at this beautiful cottage. Clean, tidy and the Welcome pack was a lovely touch, along with the fresh flowers.
A great base, quiet and secluded, yet within a 10 minute drive to reach the larger towns.
We would recommend this cottage highly.
David Poynter
What an amazing cottage. We have stayed in many cottages and this one is at the top of the list. This spacious cottage in its peaceful rural location provides all that is needed for a comfortable stay. There is so much to do in the area including beautiful beaches and towns, easy access to Snowdonia and Anglesey and many other attractions, all just a short car ride away. We will definitely be back. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay.

From the moment we stepped through the door we felt at home and safe in this spotlessly clean and well equipped cottage. The peace and beautiful views made our few days away everything we could wish for.
Helen Fitzgerald
A lovely well equipped and very clean cottage in a superb location. There is so much to do within a short drive, but Snowdonia and Anglesey are easily accessible. The wildlife in the fields surrounding the cottage was a true delight, hares, woodpeckers, buzzards, kites, and a peregrine falcon that roosts in a tree in the back field. Can’t wait to return.

Bryn Caled was as lovely as ever… so quiet and peaceful… but near to so many lovely beaches, mountains and cycle routes. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Great communication with Dioni and owners. We can highly recommend a holiday here… it was our third stay here and our fourth with Dioni .

We had a wonderful week at Bryn Caled and wish we could have stayed longer! It’s a lovely cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The owners were really helpful and the welcome hamper much appreciated!

Great cottage in a very quiet and peaceful location. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Deceptively spacious inside and plenty of room outside for children to play safely. Location is within easy reach of some great beaches at Abersoch and Porthor as well as Pwllheli, Porthmadog and Harlech. We had a great week and hope to visit again in the near future.

Excellent accommodation in every respect…. Comfort, cleanliness, everything we could possibly need. Set in lovely rural situation “far from the madding crowd” very quiet and peaceful. Good location for exploring this beautiful area too. Parking was so convenient behind the barn,a big advantage for us.Highly recommended.

Everything you would want at a holiday cottage… clean, quiet, spacious and near great countryside for cycling and wonderful beaches. So many interesting towns to visit. We loved sitting in the garden watching the cows go past. Can highly recommend this lovely place to stay. Thank you for a great weekend and the welcome pack. We would like to visit again although I don’t suppose it will be 32 degrees C next time.

Clean, comfortable, warm, quiet.
A self-contained cottage in a group of farm building on the Llyn Peninsula in north Wales. Quiet, rural outlook. Everything we needed for a week of narrow-gauge railway trips, castles, sight-seeing & photographs.
We had a most comfortable & enjoyable time.
Many thanks.

Just spent a fabulous week with friends at this lovely cottage. It was well situated for all the villages and beaches on the Lleyn peninsula, and we even toured Anglesey one day. The cottage itself is so comfortable, also well equipped. This was our second visit – and certainly not our last. A home from home!

A lovely location and a perfect home from home. Spotlessly clean with all things necessary for a comfortable stay. The place is very quiet and tranquil, apart from the birds singing constantly. Saint Cybi’s Well and the hill above it are well worth an afternoon or morning walk.
Great food at The Goat, shops and amenities in either Pwllheli or Criccieth. We will certainly be coming back.

Absolutely fantastic cottage in a superb location. Spacious accommodation, well heated and beautifully fitted-out. I always forget milk until I arrive somewhere so it is great to find a fresh bottle in the fridge – not to mention some wonderful Welsh Cakes!!

A spotlessly clean, well equipped and spacious cottage in a quiet rural location. It even has a broadband internet connection now (set up on 13.06.16). One advantage of being a few miles inland is the lack of caravan sites everywhere. We met the owner and the neighbour during the week and both couldn’t be nicer. Despite dire weather forecasts we had a largely dry and often sunny week (upon getting home to south Wales, we discovered a soggy scene of devastation which we clearly missed). We enjoyed a boat trip to Puffin Island, a ride on the Welsh Highland Railway, the obligatory visit to Portmeirion and the beaches of the Lleyn Peninsula. It is definitely worth learning a few words of Welsh just to see local peoples’ faces light up. They couldn’t be nicer and we’ll definitely return. Diolch yn fawr!

Second time around for us in this lovely home from home cottage. Home made scones and milk were a welcomed treat after a long tiring journey. It’s in the perfect location for getting out & about and we even managed to visit Black Rock Sands in between the showers! Our young daughter certainly enjoyed the cows visiting us each morning!

Just spent 4 nights at Bryncaled. It was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A very peaceful location but also close to amenities in Chwilog and Criccieth. We would definitely return here and happy to recommend to others. The welsh cakes and milk on arrival were welcome after a long journey. Plenty to do in the area, just needed more time to do it all! Very much liked Criccieth, Abersoch and the train journey up Snowdon.

We stayed from the 3rd to 10th of October.
A very clean,well equipped cottage within easy access the the whole of the Llyn Peninsula,we stuck extremely lucky with the weather and had an amazing holiday,we stayed a week and felt we only scratched the surface as to what this area has to offer.Didn’t miss the lack of wifi,relished it in fact.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Bryn Caled over the August bank holiday weekend. The cottage was of a very high standard and set in a beautiful location. An added bonus was the wonderful sunny weather. We spent most of our time enjoying the hills and beaches of the Llyn peninsula and had views as far as Ireland.

Another great stay at Bryncaled. A real gem of a cottage – secluded yet close to both the coast and the mountains. Spotlessly clean as always.

We stayed over the October half term holiday and had a lovely time. We attempted to do literally everything the many leaflets in the ‘draw of destinations’ suggested but sadly achieved less than 15% over our 6 days – there’s just so much to do!
A couple of suggestions that would have made our stay even more marvellous:
wi-fi
bigger kitchen table, or just more chairs
tumble dryer
Welsh cakes on arrival were great too!

Fabulous Cottage in rural spot. Super welsh cakes on arrival – Dan (12) asked if we would get some every day!! Well equipped kitchen. Great 5k running route round the cottage. Really does need wifi as the locality is very poor for mobile internet access. Would definitely stay again.
SAT nav takes you to wrong farm – continue along road about 300m. Bryn Caled entrance on left.

We really enjoyed our stay at BrynCaled, a superbly equipped cottage, in a truly beautiful part of Wales.We were out and about nearly every day,a journey to Porthmadog on the steam train from Caernarfon which we really enjoyed,the scenery was just terrific!.Another day we visited Ty Coch,the pub on the beach at Morfa Nefyn,enjoying a meal and a drink and the scenery,all in all a lovely holiday.I did feel though the track to the cottage could do with improving,it was rough and stony,halfway down the access is concreted and is much better!

Just returned from our third visit to Bryncaled – it was a very easy decision to come back and the cottage was in as good condition as the first time. It has everything you need and is spotlessly clean.
Bryncaled is in a great location being within about ten minutes of Criccieth and Pwllheli yet in very peaceful countryside. It’s also only about half an hour to the beaches down the Llyn peninsula or the mountains.
We would love to come back soon!

Second successive year stay at Bryncaled for my wife and I (9th to the 16th May 2014).
We new that we would probably return following our stay last year, since we were able to completely relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of its location whilst knowing we were conveniently placed for visiting the many attractions to be found in this area of Wales.
No doubt we will look forward to a future stay at Bryncaled. Only one request (same as last year) would be good to have a Wi-fi connection.

If you want quiet and secluded (doesn’t everyone) this is the one for you. A beautifully appointed recent conversion with everything you could reasonably hope for .We had a very small problem with the lighting, rang the contact number, and the owner who is local was round in under an hour to sort it.Lots of things to do and places to see within an hours drive.
Heartily recommended – one of the best cottages we have ever visited.

Another lovely stay at Bryn Caled. Ideal for a family holiday. The children love the outside space. It’s in an idyllic location and close enough to the beaches and mountains. The accommodation is lovely and clean and has all you would need for a relaxing stay. We had fantastic weather and hope to come again soon.

Despite the inclement weather we all had a fabulous break in a delightful, well appointed cottage.
It was close to all amenities and yet remote enough for peace and tranquility.
Facilities were spot on, in fact we enjoyed it so much, we considered tacking a few extra days onto our fortnight’s holiday, but unfortunately it was booked.
It was our granddaughters 1st holiday, 1st time at the beach, 1st tooth, and 1st paddle in the sea, many other 1sts – so memorable we will have to do it again very shortly
Cannot recommend it highly enough

What a superb cottage!! We have just returned from a wonderful week’s stay at this delightful barn conversion, and were so lucky with the weather too!! Can highly recommend this cottage, absolutely delightful, and we hope to return soon. Perhaps the provision of a small barbecue would have been very useful, also wifi, however cottage was still 10 out of 10.

Our week’s stay at Bryncaled went by all too quickly. My wife and I have stayed at many cottages in different areas of the UK over the years but Bryncaled is in a class of its own when it comes to peace and tranquility. The cottage is very well equipped although provision of a Wifi connection would have been most useful. When we are ready for a future week of relaxation and the attendant peace and quiet we will return to this location.

Bryn Caled is a little gem! The barn conversion has been carried out with attention to detail, modern, spotlessly clean, with everything you could need, yet still retains the character of the old building. The rural location is so quiet and peaceful, but is within easy reach of Pwllhei ( and the new Asda supermarket) and the beautiful surrounding beaches, Abersoch and Morfa Nefyn in particular. The owner, Arwel, called to see if everything was to our satisfaction, very friendly and helpful. I thanked him for the delicious scones baked by his wife, then pointed out that a pint of milk to make a cup of tea to go with them would have been very much appreciated after our long journey! Also, although the hangers in the wardrobes were nice wooden ones, there were no trouser hangers. I see after reading the visitors book that Arwel has implemented previous guests’ requests, I hope he does so again! We would definitely holiday here again, thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Lovely conversion in a very peaceful setting – yet with a wide range of things to do within easy reach. We enjoyed having the cows as close neighbours, and also climbing the hill behind the cottage – fantastic views of the coast and Snowdonia.

We spent 2 very enjoyable weeks at Bryncaled.The cottage was superb. Snowdon was a must. We went on a clear sunny day , so the views from the top were stunning. I would recommend pre booking your railway tickets. We had a 3 hour wait at the station. We passed the time by driving to Bangor to suss out the golf course.
Anyone like us who enjoys playing golf will find this a good central base. We played 7 rounds at 7 different courses.
We have already recommended Bryncaled to several friends.

We had a lovely stay at Bryn Caled. It was as good as it looked on the website, modern and comfortable. We also were pleasantly surprised to find we had a back garden with picnic table and washing line where we were only overlooked by the cows in the neighbouring field!

Just stayed here with the family over the Bank Holiday weekend and it was fantastic. The cottage is great, loads of room for all of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers), great kitchen/diner and lovely comfy beds in the bedrooms. The cottage is very well kitted out with everything you would need except food & drink. The location is great, nice and quiet but close to Snowdonia and the coast. We did Snowdon on the Saturday and had a great long weekend. We will be recommending it and hopefully coming back soon. I just wished we lived a bit closer!
