Quirky Chapel Conversion In The Beautiful Dysynni Valley | Brynhoreb

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 toasty Aga Westbury Electric Stove. 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.

Another fantastic stay at Brynhoreb. Perfect location for long walks from the door and such a cosy welcoming place to return to after a lovely day out. Plus we had lots if snow. My only negative comment is that the log burner in the photo has been replaced. I didnt reread the website blurb as we have stayed several times. The noisy electric aga is not a welcome replacement but wouldnt put us off booking Brynhoreb again.

A great cottage with lovely views over the Welsh countryside and ideally located close to the coast. We had a lovely few days at the house, which has a nice cosy feeling with good living space. Many thanks.

A beautiful, spacious property; comfortable and relaxing. Lovely vintage furniture combined with high end bathrooms and linens. Fully equipped with everything we needed and the hosts and caretaker were very friendly, helpful and quick to respond with any queries; a lovely welcome pack too, thank you 😊. Some beautiful walks and great beaches nearby. We all really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

Had a lovely stay here. Very quiet and peaceful area. There had been a problem at the accommodation but this was remedied before we arrived and we were very grateful that we could still come and stay. Would recommend this great place for people wanting to get away and relax in the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Lovely place. Good set up for group of friends. Plenty of bathrooms and sleeping options. Loved the living area elevated so can see over fields. Town not far away with shops etc.
Parking was tight for 2 cars but manageable as street was very quiet. Bedroom at front let light in as had the arched windows so didn’t have any excuse not to get up early lol. Everything else great.

Ideal accommodation for a group of 4 old bikers to explore the Wales countryside. 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.
Just be aware that the only place to eat in the village is the pub and they get booked up so book in advance to avoid disappointment. The pub food is very good though one you get a table.

Really lovely stay. Spacious, homely and well kitted out. Would stay again. Great accommodation. Plenty of space, lovely sitting and dining area with the bonus of a little snug upstairs. Good bedrooms, bathroom and facilities, nicely furnished too. we all really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for 7 adults and a toddler. Just worth noting the parking space at the accommodation was only big enough for one vehicle but you can find parking elsewhere in the village.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Lots of quirky decor and very comfortable. The extra fridge was useful and loved having a tea pot! A lot of places don’t! Having 3 bathrooms was a bonus. The pub down the road was a great addition to the holiday. The food and service were great. I would definitely recommend this cottage.
