This quirky chapel conversion in the beautiful Dysynni Valley comes with a mighty mountain backdrop and is close to the seaside at Tywyn. Sleeps up to 7 guests in four bedrooms, including two ground floor bedrooms.

Located in the quiet hamlet of Bryncrug, Brynhoreb offers bright, welcoming accommodation, with plenty of room for a decent sized holiday gang. It is ideally placed for exploring the mountains and coast of stunning southern Eryri (Snowdonia).

The chapel has been lovingly renovated to preserve the original character of the building with a complementary mix of stylish contemporary furnishings. We love the luxurious natural textures – including slate, terracotta, Welsh wool and sheepskin – used throughout, and the light from the chapel’s beautifully coloured windows is just wonderful.

On the ground floor, there is a large open plan living space and dining room. A plump sofa, rocking chair and a couple of comfortable armchairs are arranged around a roaring log burner. To one end of this bright room, a dining table seats up to eight, and there is a comfortable window seat – ideal for a spot of quiet reading or daydreaming.

A handy spacious boot room can be found in the basement to store your walking boots after a day exploring this beautiful area.

The very decent-sized kitchen is smart, modern, and well-equipped. We love that the kitchen’s colour palette has been inspired by that of its beautiful window. There is a double electric cooker and hob, with all the equipment and appliances you might need.

Also downstairs are two good sized double bedrooms along with a shared ground floor bathroom with a bath and shower.

Upstairs, there are two further bright bedrooms, one double and one single. The bedrooms have been artfully furnished, in keeping with the rest of the cottage. There are also two fabulous bathrooms upstairs, both with rolltop baths and walk in showers. And just in case you need to catch up on a few emails your hols, there is a lovely bright study up there too.

This really is a most wonderful part of the world. There are some great walks straight out of the front door, taking in the slopes of Tarren Y Gesail, and stations on the Talyllyn Railway line (Rhydyronen and Brynglas are the closest), amongst other lovely places. The summit of the mighty Cadair Idris is a mere eight or so miles away, and you can be at the seaside villages of Tywyn (Towyn) and Aberdyfi (Aberdovey) in just a handful of minutes by car.

Location

 

It is no exaggeration to say that – even by North Wales standards – this is an especially stunning part of the world. Renowned for its big landscapes and diverse and abundant wildlife, it is brimming with opportunities to explore.

The cottage sits in the beautiful Dysynni Valley, from which rises the spectacular peak of Cadair Idris. This mystical mountain is named after the legendary giant warrior poet who is said to sit on its summit - take a hike to the top to be rewarded with the most amazing panoramic views.

At just a couple of miles away, Tywyn is the closest seaside town to this this quirky chapel conversion in the beautiful Dysynni Valley. The Wales Coastal Path runs right through the centre of the town and onto the Blue Flag Award beach. On a clear day you’ll get great views north towards Bardsey Island and Pwllheli on the Pen Llyn (Llyn Peninsula), and south as far as Fishguard and Aberystwyth.

Aberdyfi (also known as Aberdovey), is one of Eryri's (Snowdonia’s)prettiest coastal villages and just ten minutes’ away by car. A creative hub for artists and writers, it is also a big draw for anyone who enjoys watersports like sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. It’s the perfect spot for coastal walks and cosy pubs, and there is a decent number of good places to eat out.

If you like exploring the Welsh coast, it is well worth including a trip to Barmouth (40 minutes drive) on your holiday. If you like cycling, pack your bikes to explore the Mawddach trail, which follows the course of the old railway line from Barmouth to Ruabon. It will take you through stunning scenery and over beautiful old wooden bridges. A magical – and relatively easy – day out on two wheels with a superb mountains-and-coast backdrop.

Machynlleth is around 15 miles away. This historic town offers some great independent shops, places to eat and drink, and a couple of good art galleries. It’s well worth an explore: the town has a quirky, eco-friendly vibe, with the pioneering Centre for Alternative Technology and its engaging visitor centre just a couple of miles down the road.

For a real taste of the romance of Eryri you can’t beat the magic of a steam. Take a ride on one of the heritage railways at nearby Corris, Fairbourne or Talyllyn.

My three friends and I had a very comfortable stay at Brynhoreb. It’s ideally located for great walks and sandy beaches. The cottage had lots of interesting features and was a great mix of the old and new. Loved the log burner after a day of hiking. Sarah was also quick to respond and help with any problems that arise.

Great place to stay, and a great location! The converted Chapel is comfortable with plenty of space. We slept in the top floor main bedroom which is a lovely airy space with great views to wake up to. Nearby Tywyn beach was perfect for long strolls on the sand at low tide. The Peniarth Arms in Bryn Crug itself was great, with fantastic food on offer (shame no local Welsh beers though?), and just a few minutes walk from Brynhoreb. The walks along the river that runs through Bryn Crug are also lovely and peaceful. The highlight of our stay was getting the train from Tywyn Station along the coast to Barmouth….fantastic view of the coast and the estuary at Barmouth (you can also get the train south down to Aberdyfi as well). All-in-all, great accommodation in an amazing part of Wales….we will definitely be returning!

An absolutely fantastic gem of a place! Spotless, great welcome pack, lots of space, clear instructions. We didn’t want to leave. Make sure you visit the Osprey centre and Dyfi donkeys in Aberdyfi!

A fantastic place with lots of space and ideally located to explore the area. The nearby beach is stunning. Make sure you visit the Osprey project and take an excursion to Dyfi donkey woods (must book in advance).

Great property for our group of 6 adults and a toddler. Plenty of space, 3 double beds, a single and no queuing for the bathroom as there are 3! Booking was easy and responses were quick. The location is ideal for all sorts of days out – books of local walks were especially useful.

Property was ideal to accommodate us 4 middle aged chaps and our motorcycles. We all had our own rooms and there are plenty of bathrooms in the property. Lovely little village ideally situated to explore Wales countryside.

We choose this during Spring Bank as somewhere we could relax but that would also have space for teens, especially as one was midst A level exams. The chapel was perfect. There was plenty of room and the location was great with plenty of walks for us and the dog plus cycling close at hand. The local pub was also great at accommodating us and the food very acceptable pub fayre. Hoping this may become somewhere we can return to as our family grow up as there is the space for all. Great quirky decor and well appointed kitchen etc and storage for bikes a bonus.
