Very comfortable holiday home for large families and groups. It is very well and quietly located with a beautiful view from the terrace. Spacious parking lot. Beautiful setting, close to Porthmadog and Beddgelert. The house was very clean upon arrival! The kitchen was well equipped. The only minor drawback: the dishwasher is very small for a group of more than ten people.

Bryn Llydan was a beautiful house in a stunning setting with everything we needed to have a relaxing weekend including celebrating a 60th birthday whilst there. There were a few walks from the door, and a bonus was the EV charger which wasn’t advertised when we booked. Thanks for a great stay.

A Week at Llety-Llydan
We numbered fifteen in total with an age range of 7-75 years. Throw in 3 canine companions and you’d be hard-pressed to find many suitable holiday options in North Wales.
Llety-Llydan pretty much ticked all the boxes as far as our party was concerned. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the spacious open-plan living area ensured no-one felt confined or restricted despite the best efforts of the weather to curtail our outdoor activities.
The location is splendid with panoramic views of Eryri from the doorstep and adjacent patio. Beyond this an extensive paddock, much larger than we had envisaged, provided the perfect space for the children and dogs to play in safety.
Sian and Dafydd, our hosts, exuded warmth and friendliness, ably assisted by Danielle and her husband and it was a pleasant surprise, almost unique in our experience, not to see a ‘rule book’ or ‘warning notices’ posted within the property.
If circumstances permit we would all love a return visit and another chance to explore the spectacular landscape of the region and, from a rather selfish point of view, an opportunity to reacquaint myself with the local avian stars – the magnificent Glaslyn Ospreys!

House and views are beautiful, the weather was lovely and the garden was very spacious for activities and relaxation time. The rooms are well kept and maintained with comfy beds and appropriate sized bathrooms.

We had a wonderful stay. Place was spotless on arrival and they were flexible on arrival time.
If we had any questions or problems they were seen to ASAP.
This property is perfect for a large group of people and the views are spectacular.
Only suggestions we have are:
– A information pack on arrival including things like, 1) what we should do on departure I.e key, bed linen, bins.
2) closest GP
3) local restaurants/ activities
– WiFi throughout the property
We couldn’t fault our stay and had a wonderful time! We will be recommending this place.
Thank you!

A fantastic weekend spent with family from toddlers to great grandparents.
The house and location was perfect with lots of space inside and out, the children loved meeting the ponies and having freedom to play in the extensive garden.
The owners Sian and Dafydd met us on arrival and showed us everything we needed ,nothing was too much trouble and the chocolate cake was so tasty.
We loved everything about our stay and will be returning. Highly recommended

Fantastic Large Family property. Beautiful Views. Very clean house all bedrooms are en suite which suited us as a big group of friends. Ideal spacious kitchen with plenty of storage. On arrival, we met up with the very friendly owners, which showed us everything we needed to know. They also left us a very tasty chocolate cake. We really enjoyed our time in Llety Llydan. We would like to come back next year .

It was exactly as described in the adverts, we couldn’t have specified anything better had we designed it ourselves. it was a perfect match for our needs.
Abbie and Martin
We had a wonderful time, all 13 of us (8 adults and 5 children). The children loved the extensive grounds and spent a lot of time running about and we were able to relax without worrying about them. Llety-Llydan is a great place and was so, so much better than we imagined it would be. Sian and Dafydd were wonderful hosts, they were so friendly and warm and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were fortunate to see Nell the foal, this really made the children\’s holiday seeing her.
The views are stunning and seeing the sun set behind the mountains every evening was breathtaking. In short a perfect location. this is a MUST for a family get-together in an idyllic location.
Rachel
Had a lovely time, accommodation was perfect for our extended family holiday.
Llety-Llydan is in such a beautiful location we will definitely come back! We were extremely lucky with the weather and my only comment is that we would have liked some sun loungers to use on the fantastic patio area, a small thing in what was otherwise a brilliant stay.
Geanina Sopron
What a great place to bring your whole family and friends with and have an amazing time. The view is breathtaking, kitchen and rooms clean and there’s a lot of space for everyone from kids to grandparents to relax and enjoy. Absolutely amazing!
Lynsey
We came here to stay for a girls birthday weekend, and we had a great time, the house is lovely and clean and the views are absolutely amazing!
The owners were so lovely they met us on arrival to show us around the house then left us to it, lots of information brochures for things to do locally, it’s a great location we went to the zip forest to do zip lines and we went to portmeirion. Such an amazing weekend would definitely recommend and we will be back 😀
Liam Wyatt
What a great place loads of room and outdoor space with great views across the valley, just a shame we forgot to tick the box for sunshine instead of rain, that being said the kids loved the outdoor space to play and have mini adventures and use their imaginations the amount of bear’s that they saw was amazing 🙂
would defiantly book again
Ann Smith
I honestly don’t think there could be a better place for family groups or groups of friends. Fantastic huge kitchen, really well equipped with quality fittings, ovens, sinks, utensils etc. There’s even a fridge allocated for every room. Plus loads of lounge space to spread out on comfy sofas and chairs. Upstairs, every bedroom is en suite.
All this is sitting in the most glorious landscape with fabulous views and walks straight from the door. In spite of the rural setting, it is only a few minutes drive to Penrhyndeudraeth (Spar, chippy etc and a very good vegan cafe/takeaway) but do not miss the village shop/cafe in Garreg Llanfrothen which has everything you could need including homebaked bread, a great selection of beers and, on Friday and Saturday nights, delicious takeaway sourdough pizzas.
We loved everything about our stay. Highly recommended!
Rebecca
A great house in a perfect location! We spent a weekend with 15 family members aged 6 to 97. The house is great – spacious, well appointed and comfortable. The views are beautiful and there are lovely walks from the door.
Harlech and Criccieth are a short drive away for beaches and castles.
We’d recommend Siop y Garreg cafe and shop in Llanfrothen for fantastic sourdough pizza and salads too.
Thank you! We’ll be back
Oliver Bird
What a find! The location is stunning and it is so well set up for big groups, where else do you get an en-suite in every room and 8 fridges! The bedroom decor isn’t luxurious granted but for the price, it’s the bargain of the century…. but maybe I shouldn’t be saying this as we don’t want it booked up when we want to go again 😂
Zachary poole
The accommodation was absolutely fantastic, every room had its own bathroom and there was a great communal area for all the family. The house is in a beautiful spot and the pictures don’t do the house justice. Our stay was absolutely perfect.
Ruth and Ken Sanders
Beautiful place with amazing scenery and views. Had everything that we needed and lots of storage space. Really spacious living room and kitchen area which makes it a fabulous place to get together and well equipped. The slow cooker made things easier.
Loved the local footpaths which was an added bonus.
Sian and Dafydd are lovely and helpful hosts.

Fantastic family holiday for 9 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs in a beautiful location. The house was amazing with plenty of space for everyone and everything needed was provided including high quality cot and highchair. It was extremely well kept and clean with a few newly refurbished areas only just finished. The views were breath taking and it was unbelievable to open your curtains to every morning. Sian and Dafydd offered a warm welcome and were available should any problems occur. Would definitely recommend for extended families or groups of friends.
Adam Pascoe
What a fantastic holiday. Perfect/house location for walking, biking, visiting the beach/coast and relaxing 😎 The house was perfect for large extended families. Everything was catered for with a fully equipped kitchen, 8 separate rooms with en suite bathrooms divided into 2 buildings so kids and adults can have there own space or 1 family in each.
Outside space is fantastic with grounds to walk in and great for a game of cricket or boule (all provided) The patio area provided a great place to sit and eat/bbq and if you are graced with good weather ☀️ a sunbathers paradise.
Separate lockable building for bikes is a great provision.
Located just down the road from the famous Portmerion village and the coastal towns of Porthmadog, Harlech and Criccieth
Sian and Dafydd are great hosts
Margaret Chambers
We have just returned from a 5 night stay in this fabulous house. It was a family gathering with age range from 5 months to 72 and everything inbetween and it suited us perfectly. It was so safe for all the children to play in the gorgeous grounds and the views were stunning. Sian and Dafydd were great hosts and readily answered any questions we may have. Each bedroom having its own en-suite was a bonus and the large kitchen so well fitted out. I have no hesitation in giving our stay a 5 star review
Jim Smith
Lovely house in a lovely spot. Sian and Dafydd have done a great job making this really big property feel cozy and very comfortable. The new outside terrace is a brilliant addition since our first stay a couple of years ago. We’ll be back.

What a special place, we had a fantastic week with 12 adults and 7 kids- 3 dogs. Even the wet weather could not spoil this holiday- especially given how lockdown has isolated us this year. We were able to safe distance will being reunited. Games, walks and apple picking made the kids back to basics time together loads of fun- and what a well stocked kitchen for a bit of Gormet cooking. We will be back!

Diolch am y croeso cynnes. Our family of 17,and babies, spent a wonderful , relaxing weekend (3 – 6 th January) in your lovely Llety Llydan. Everything was lovely and the house was perfect – warm and cosy, with superb views.We went into Porthmadog and down to Black Rock sands for a walk and play, and the rest of the time was for relaxing, making new memories and having fun. We walked around the huge grounds in our wellies with the grandchildren – climbing the trees and playing hide and seek – what could be better. A fabulous start to the New Year and only an hour from home- bliss.Thankyou / Diolch o galon.xx

Perfect location for multi activities. We went mountain biking, road biking, paddle boarding, completed the Mawddach trail, beach combing, fell running and mountain waking.
Great meet and greet with all the facilities you should want for.

Hi,
we completely loved our stay, it was perfect (really too good for the group we had!)
There’s absolutely nothing that would have improved it for us, the weather did the cottage proud, we found it without any problem, it was very comfortable and we had the best, most friendly welcome.
thank you so much! I hope we can stay again in the future!

Had a great weekend here, the views and location is spectacular. Everything you need is catered for, and the owners couldn’t have been more accomodating. I just wish we could have stayed longer. 15 of us more than comfortably housed. Was a perfect home from home to celebrate my mother’s 70th, one happy family.

A beautifully kept and located property overlooking spectacular views. The owners made us very welcome and were very helpful. Accommodation was perfect. We visited Porthmadog, the drive-on beach at Black Rock, climbed Snowdon, visited the beautiful village Beddgelert and also the fastest zip wire at Zip World which was a 50 minute drive away. Perfect location for us to achieve all our adventures and then to return to a lovely relaxing “home”. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay.

Wonderful quite location which is in easy reach of Porthmadog,Portmerion, Harlech, the steam train network and the many of the great outdoor activities of North Wales. The house is in an elevated position with panoramic views of the valley below and the Snowdonia mountains.
The house was formerly a small hotel or B&B theat has been lovingly been renovated and modernised by the owners. The huge kitchen diner is a masterclass in using reclaimed timber to create a functional and beautiful space. The lounge is long and has three seating areas with very comfortable seating.
We were only a party of seven but the house would be comfortable with more than double that number.
The owners were very friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome.
