Bryn Awel Reviews

Robert

Fantastic property and the owners are very helpful.

We loved staying at this holiday home. We came as a group of four families, and enjoyed every minute. Despite quite cold weather, there was a lot to do, and the nine kids especially enjoyed the games room and cinema room. The hot tub was a hit with us all! Nigel was very accommodating and helpful. Some great memories were made.

Elaine

We all had a fabulous time, lots to do for all ages. The property was very clean and spacious. The lovely hosts left a wonderful welcome basket. They really can't help you enough and are only on the end of a phone call. What lovely people and house. Thank you so much!

We had a great time and enjoyed the facilities so much especially the cinema. Nigel was so accommodating making sure we settled well in the house for a week. He even suggested some sights to visits. The house was clean and we had a lovely time relaxing and making memories with our friends and family. Highly recommended.

Kalpana

Loved this house, had everything to entertain a big group. The owners were really friendly and helpful as well. Rooms were all decent size and comfortable. Will definitely be going again

The property was great for our family get awaycelebrations 4 generations. There was lots of space for everyone to enjoy 12. The cinema room was a great hit and the kids enjoyed the games room. As the weather was lovely we all enjoyed the hot tub and patio. The kitchen was well equipped. The only thing that was slightly missing was storage and surface space in some of the bedrooms, but we managed. The property has great views and is easy to find, eventhough down a single track. There was great communication with Jane, even recommending some local places. All the family really enjoyed our stay.

The perfect house for our family. We were all comfortable and had plenty of space. There were 16 of us and its difficult to find suitable places for us to stay. The cinema room was a great hit with the family. There were additional tables and benches that meant we could all sit together in the dining room for meals. Two fold up beds were provided for our two youngest grandchildren which meant we didnt have to use the sofa bed. The local roads and the driveway were a bit challenging for us East Anglians but the views were stunning and worth travelling around for. Plenty to do in the area for children and old fogeys. One little thing would have helped a bit, somewhere to hang our towels in the bedrooms so that they dried a bit a hook or rail maybe and a grab rail by the downstairs shower to help when stepping out. The downstairs shower was great and definitely the favourite! No one wanted to come home testaments of a great holiday.

Patrick

We had a fabulous time. The property was very clean and well equipped. The children didnt want to come home, in fact I didnt myself. We had some lovely weather which was a bonus but even without the sunshine theres more than enough to keep everyone entertained. Would hire this property again

It's a fantastic property with great facilities. The owners were great, and left a gift basket which was a nice touch. 1010

Michael

We had a fabulous stay, so many positives. Something for all of the family, lovely to see the kiddies play area which is not on the site pictures. Great location, single track access is no problem.

A great location for a multigeneration family holiday. Loved the house and all the amenities. The house is set in beautiful countryside and we were lucky enough to have good April weather. The back patio, with the hot tub, was a real sun trap.

What a great property, what a great location. Four generations of our family plus partners loved everything about the property. Plenty of rooms, so we wasnt on top of each other. Cinema room was a hit for everyone, from Frozen for the kids, to football for the oldies, to a family quiz night. Would definitely book again. Communication during the week with owners Nigel & Jade was excellent. One item missing, yes we had the snow, and it was heavy and deep, grit box at top and bottom of the drive would have helped us, but we did get out eventually, and again Nigel and Jade were very understanding and even offered us to stay a further night or 2. Great holiday

Andrew

Very good stay, no issues, well stocked. . loads of space. Really enjoyable stay all around!

This property surpassed our expectations from the outset. Kind and helpful owners to great facilities. Great stay.

Amazing stay at Bryn awel. There was 13 of us and every one of us rated the house & our stay. Loads to do and every room is beautiful. Would definitely recommend! We are all hoping to return next year!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house. With a family group of 14 including Grandchildren there was something to occupy all, and with the space in the house we weren't on top of each other and had space to relax. Slight reaction to dog hairs downstairs, but after a good hoover that was soon sorted out. Had an issue with the downstairs shower which was sorted out quickly by the owners with no fuss. The view is lovely and it is so quiet, we would definately go again

My family had a fantastic week at this beautiful house. The kitchen had every utensil you could think of and was massive. The cinema room was fab for watching films the games room with the snooker table was great when everybody was up for the challenge. We spent lots of time in the hot tub. Everything about this house was fabulous and big. Would definitely recommend this house to my friends and family

Yasmin

Amazing property. Host Nigel was really friendly and always a phone call away. The property is much bigger in real life. Some many things to do in the house alone. Surrounding area is beautiful. I would happily stay again.

House was nice enough, however amenities were extremely lacking. No handsoap or hand towels in the toilets, only 1 towel each which isn't ideal with the hot tub. Yes it has a dryer but to wash and dry 8 towels would have taken a long time! Kitchen wise, significantly lacking. We had one small chopping board to cook and prepare food for 8 people, no scales or measuring jug, no large glasses, and some of the glasses we did have were chipped and cracked. We had to purchase tea towels, hand wash, cleaning cloths and scales. Having stayed in a large house like this before, we expected more, especially given the cost and the fact that its highly rated. Owner also rang on way home twice, they couldn't find one of the keys and if I didn't respond within 1 hour I would be charged for a locksmith. The key was in the room all along, and I didn't appreciate the tone used, especially as it was there all along and we'd left the house cleaner than when we arrived. Disappointing stay and wouldn't recommend.

Samina

We absolutely loved our stay! Nigel and Jane are such perfect hosts. They catered for our every need and where flexible and easy to reach. Would definitely return.

Lovely house in a gorgeous location. Very clean and the welcome hamper was a really nice touch. The only issue we had was the limited seating at the dining table. The house sleeps 16 but there were only 10 chairs so we split iur group between the dining room and kitchen. It was manageable but more chairs would have been better. Thanks for having us. Helen

Lovely property for a large group. Very spacious. There was 14 of us. Plenty of space for us all. The games room, cinema room and hot tub were great for the whole family. Lovely views from the property. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when we contacted them. One recommendation for the property is to have a bigger fridge and freezer. There were 2 fridges. One under counter and a fridge freezer in the main kitchen. We found this wasn't enough for 14 people. Would definitely stay at the property again.

We really enjoyed having four generations of the family together in this excellent house, perfectly placed in the Denbighshire countryside. There was plenty of space for all of us, the facilities were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the cinema room, pool table and hot tub. We were very fortunate to have a week of beautiful sunshine and really enjoyed the two gardens. The owners are excellent, very polite and helpful, we highly recommend this property.

The property was amazing everyone loved their time here. We were well catered for and were told exactly what needed to be done for the stay. We did have a bit of bad weather at the beginning but the cinema room and games room kept us well entertained. Great location as its not too far from Rhyl beach. Would definitely recommend!

The house was lovely, we enjoyed the facilities especially the spa. as we love the country side we wished that more was made of the garden and the view.

Patricia

Bryn awel is a beautiful semi remote house. We were a party of 17 including two babies , two under 5s and a teenager theres were all catered for . The cinema room and hot tub were highlights and there was plenty of space for everyone . The owner Nigel was friendly and accommodating and came to our rescue when the previous tenants had changed the heating and we struggled to change it back. The only negative is the access to the house the country lanes are one car narrow and currently full of potholes not easy to navigate with loaded cars . The drive to the house is steep but I believe this is having work done to make it easier . But being so high means the views are spectacular so well worth it.

Ami-jean

We had an amazing week away at Bryn Awel, celebrating my 30th Birthday! The house is spotless, with everything you could possibly need for the perfect family break. The hot tub was amazing, as were the views across the fields. The cinema room and games room were enjoyed by all. We cant wait to book our next visit. My only recommendation would be to add the panels to the bottom of the stairs too so that the stair gate fits. Thank you Jane and Nigel

Audrey

We had a lovely stay at Bryn Awel, the house is very spacious, there was 11 of us and we didn't feel on top of each other at all. The kitchen was very well equipped absolutely everything you would need. The hot tub was very much enjoyed along with the cinema room which made a lovely change from just watching normal tv. The garden was extremely well equipped as well with loads to keep us all amused. Rooms comfortable and hosts fixed minor complaint very quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property with lots of great spaces which suited all ages in our party.

Rebecca

We have just come back from a girls weekend away and this property was amazing. Plenty of space for everyone, the place was spotless, plenty to do in there and the owners were lovely too. We cant wait to come back again!

A fantastic property that couldnt recommend highly enough, easy to find, lovey well presented house with fantastic views, and everything you need to keep you busy, lots of spacious bedrooms, excellent kitchen facilities and the lounge and cinema room are fantastic. Owners really helpful as well, 5 stars

Robert

Fabulous Property, plenty of space, ability for some people to watch a film in the cinema room, others to play pool or table football, hot tub for others and still standard living room with skyNetflix all included. Hope to book again. 1010

We had the best Christmas staying here at Bryn Awel, the cinema room was amazing! All bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The kitchen is perfect for large families like ours. The log fire was simply stunning and we didnt want to leave. Games room was great for the kids. The owners couldnt do enough for us and even left selection boxes and a welcome hamper for us. Thank you for the best Christmas xx

Kirsty

Amazing house, would definitely recommend it.

Had an amazing family holiday , 16 of us , 8 children , all catered for and the bedrooms were amazing, the cinema and games room were great addition. The hosts, Jane and Nigel were very helpful and accommodating, will definitely be returning and would recommend.

Rachel

Was so glad to have chosen to stay at this property. Spacious, clean, finished to a high standard, with plenty to keep us entertained due to the unfortunate wind and rain scuppering plans to do Snowdon amongst other things in the area. Already planning to go back. Cant speak highly enough and Jane owner was in contact if we needed anything.

The house was plenty big enough for 14 of us, the weather wasn't great,but the kids loved the cinema room and adults loved the games room. Hot tub was fantastic too, was well needed after a 5 and half drive. We even went for a lovely walk up the lane on a nice day and we was not to far from Rhyl and Snowdonia. The views are fantastic all round. Nigel & Jane always at end of phone when we had questions. We will definitely be coming again in the future.

An absolutely fantastic house with everything you would need for an amazing holiday Upon arrival at the house you are met with a fantastic location and absolutely stunning views. We received a welcome pack from our hosts which was very much appreciated and made us feel very welcome. The house was very clean and tidy with everything you would expect for a luxurious home. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for a large group and the adjoining dining room was more than ideal for mealtimes. The rear outside area was fantastic with a touch of 5 star luxury, plenty of seating, a hot tub and brilliant BBQ. The front outside area had a fantastic play area for children and seating with stunning views. The house itself is vast with a large television room with a huge log fire and plenty of seating. There is a smaller room with a television and seating where I managed to relax away from our main group. The bedrooms were all spectacular and our whole group slept very comfortably in the provided beds. The bathrooms were very luxurious and the showers worked perfectly, good pressure and always hot. The house had already ticked all our boxes but to entertain us even more there was a games room with a pool table, with a cinema room located next to it, which our group absolutely loved. Also another positive was the fact that the house had working WiFi, which was very important for most of the group and we also had access to plenty of streaming services for our film nights in the cinema room. The owners, Jane and Nigel were very friendly and more than happy to assist us with any queries we had during our stay. Our group have been visiting several different holiday homes over the years and without a doubt Bryn Awel has been the best so far. We had an amazing holiday there and would definitely recommend it to all our friends and family. We would not hesitate to return and are already looking at next year. David, September 2021

We absolutely loved this incredible house. The facilities were superb! Hot Tub great for adults and children of every age had so much to do, Space for us all and so spotlessly clean with quality and comfort, Just loved it and cant wait to go back . A real family home with luxury added in fabulous views a lovely atmosphere and perfect holiday . Jane and Nigel are so lovely and helpful, Sad its over . Thankyou
