Pen Bryn Reviews

Brendon

Absolutely amazing accommodation, location and scenic views, we had a lovely time here! The hosts were also very accommodating, I can't recommend this place enough. Five stars from us

Robert

We liked it ALL! First the basics Cleanliness, comfort and warmth, all scored very high marks, loved the hot tub, the view, and the peace and quiet allowing us a very restful break.

Gerrard

Wonderful place to stay and extremely helpful owners.

Claire

Everything about this place was beautiful, Highly recommend

Geoffrey

Fabulous property, quite remote just what we wanted. Host's very accommodating. Perfect holiday for us, could not have wished for more.

We recieved a warm welcome and the property was as beautiful as the pictures indicate. The property was very clean it really was a home from home.

The local roads seemed dreadful after Ruthin, but boy was it worth the effort. The cottage has a fantastic outlook, and after a couple of days we were driving like the locals, well most of them Being fairly new, everything in the cottage was fresh, Hew made sure we knew where everything was and we felt quite a home very quickly. The fantastic weather at the beginning of September obviously helped and we very much enjoyed the company of puss and her two kittens. We'd go back tomorrow if we could.

Andrea

The property was perfect and location great to get to many places. The tourist leaflets were helpful and we added to them following our travels around. An information folder would have been useful however which included local walks, amenities and restaurants. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and we couldn't have wished for a nicer holiday in Wales for our first visit. Thank you!

Well what can I say! We had the most amazing stay at this stunning lodge! The lodge itself is absolutely immaculate. Equipped with everything you would need. The hot tub is fantastic. You can tell it isnt just a cheap one. You wake up to such a peaceful setting with beautiful views. Million miles away our busy day to day lives. We were 4 girls turning 40 and we couldnt have asked for a better place to stay. We didnt want a busy city centre and this was everything we needed. Ruthin its self is so nice. Can 100 recommend small plates. The food was beautiful. Ruthin castle is another must. We went for a couple of drinks on the Saturday afternoon and the setting was just perfect. Peacocks roaming around and the grounds were stunning! The Wetherspoons in the town centre is great too. Lovely beer garden with cheap drinks too! If you need a taxi would recommend Daveys taxis. The taxi network isnt like what we are used to can we not just ring an Uber

We had a lovely comfortable stay at Pen Bryn, thank you Huw and Mari. The place is very spacious and very well equipped. Views are amazing and lots to do in the area. We would love to return sometime in the future.

This holiday home was just amazing! We booked to take our elderly parents, one of whom has mobility issues and the property was spacious, well laid out, everything on one level. Everything was new and modern. The bifolding doors viewed out onto an absolutely incredibly view where you could see the weather roll in a point of much discussion in Wales! We were speechless at the hottub. So warm, easy to use, extremely clean and with the views of everywhere. The fire was lovely. Kitchen easy to use. Big fridgefreezer. Big utility room for walkers. Lovely host who met us. Oh! I could go on forever!!

Immaculate throughout with very high quality finishes. Hot tub was pristine and well maintained. The host were amazing. The views are incredible. The location is perfect. Really cosy cottage. Underfloor heating everywhere. Log burner. Nice gifts on arrival. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Stacie

Amazing stay and we cant wait to book again

This property was fabulous. It was clean, modern and finished to a very high standard. The owner was lovely and even met us and guided us to the property, which was really kind of him. When we arrived there was a welcome pack of a bottle of Prosecco, a large bag of crisps a lemon drizzle cake and a pint of milk. How lovely!!! There were 4 of us in our late fiftys and we had a lovely catch up and comfy stay. The hot tub was an added bonus and we went in it several times. We will certainly be back and I have told friends and family all about it. Thank you Sykes Cottages. Donna Johnson

We have stayed in many rural properties over the years. Without a doubt this modern cottage is the best fitted out with auto lighting and heating. Endless supply of logs for the freestanding efficient log fire. Total comfort. The views are magnificent. The hosts extremely helpful. AMAZING!!!

Shelbi

We have had the best stay! The attention to detail was top notch, our first cabin experience was definitely the best we could of had, beautiful views to go along side the stunning cabin, thank you for our amazing stay xxx

Elspeth

We had the absolute best stay, thank you so much. The property is stunning and really well kitted out the only thing we felt was missing was a bread knife but that is being suuuuper picky!. The hot tub is a wonderful addition and the view from it is INCREDIBLE. We're already planning a return trip in winter as snuggling in front of the fire and having a bath in the enormous tub sounds dreamy. Thanks again x

This lodge has the WOW factor, it is of the very highest specification and equipped with everything you could possibly need, all top quality items. The elevated position of the lodge gives the most wonderful 360 degree views. We also enjoyed being outside, because it was so peaceful & quite, just sheep & birds to listen to. The hot tub was amazing. The owners Mari & Huw are the most helpful nicest couple you could wish to meet. They will help your holiday go as smooth as possible. The area has lots to offer, we did some walks from the lodge & also Llyn Brenig reservoir, you can fish, hire boats or hire bikes here. The area has lots of attractions to visit, activities to do and the coast is not very far away. We really did not want to leave this beautiful lodge, cannot wait to visit again.
