Bryn Derw Holiday Cottage Reviews

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean. Loved the little extra touches. Owner was warm and friendly. Will definitely be back
Lovely property, owner was more than helpful and place was spotless.
Absolutely amazing house in a location with amazing views. Very well cleaned and maintained. Loved sitting in the conservatory or hot tub and enjoying the views. Many thanks to Delyth and David especially for inviting us up to the barn to feed the animals it was really nice. 1010 would definitely stay again!
Charles
Amazing place! Well looked after.. Clean! Grounds are stunning! The pictures don't do the place justice! It is well nicer in real
We loved our stay with you. The unfortunate water problems caused a slight inconvenience, with 6 people needing to shower etc, but we understand that was beyond your control, and you did try your best for us, supplying bottles of water for drinks etc. The hot tub is a great addition and the alpacas are wonderful. I would however warn potential clients of the 33 incline as it did prove difficult for our granddaughters little car to get up the hill. Fabulous stay and would definitely highly recommend
Felt like home the minute we walked in. Fantastic views whatever the weather and the hot tub is fabulous. Lovely to have direct access from the house to a field for our old dog to roam. All the family enjoyed feeding the Alpaccas. Well appointed bathrooms downstairs and ensuites in the upstairs bedrooms. Quality appliances in the kitchen so Sunday lunch for 8 was enjoyed by all and we managed to eat alfresco! Very special to have daily visits from the red kites and early morning call from the house martins. Owners quick to sort any queries,and thankyou for the lovely welcome basket and birthday banner. Highly recommended.
Debbie
The house was amazing. The views were stunning,have stayed in many holiday cottages with Sykes and they have all been excellent but Bryn Derw has been perfect.We had good weather which helped but hoping to go back again and try the house in the winter I'm sure it will just as good.
Absolutely loved our stay. The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable, and extremely clean, inside and out. The setting is beautiful and tranquil. Lots of birdspotting and beautiful sunrises. Very well positioned for exploring the beauty of north wales. Would definitely recommend.
Christine
My friends and I spent a lovely 3 days in this beautiful holiday home. The views were amazing and the Alpacas kept us amused all weekend. The owners went over and above to make our stay a success. They even put up birthday banners and left cards for the two ladies celebrating their birthdays. A welcoming basket with essentials including Prosecco was much appreciated. We would definitely look to return in the future.

Michelle
Lovely property, good for large family or group of friends. Views from the property are fabulous and so many nice walks all within easy drive from the property. Would definitely recommend.
Elizabeth
We can only echo the fabulous feedback from previous reviewers, this holiday cottage is one of the best that we have stayed in and a real home from home. Set in a beautiful rural location high up on a hillside with the lovely little village of Eglwysbach with its friendly pub the Bee Inn, and Bodnant gardens very close by. Betwsycoed, Conwy, and Llandudno are all within easy reach. Zip world velocity is a 40 minute drive away and well worth a visit for kids big and small. Many thanks to Delyth and David, this is one place we will definitely return to in the future.
The only thing Ii can say about are stay at Bryn Drew cottage is amazing
We have just come home from a wonderful stay at Bryn Derw. A super house with wonderful views and easily accessible for my 92 year old mother. A well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and sun room, and very comfortable beds, in fact one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. I'd also like to thank Delyth and David for the welcome gift of goodies which was most appreciated by all. We would definitely book again when next in Wales.
Stuart
We had a great stay in the property . Very clean and tidy lots of room for the 7 of us. Hot tub was great with brilliant views across the valley. Would highly recommend .
Absolutely amazing property with fantastic views over the countryside. The four bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms fabulous with very powerful showers. Living are and sun room also very comfortable and views were amazing. The property is next door to the owners farm and Del allowed us to feed her Alpacas who were just beautiful and so gentle. The hot tub looks over the valley and sitting in the garden is so quiet its like a little piece of paradise in Wales. It does sit at the top of a very steep hill but its totally worth it as the view and peace and quiet are outstanding. We cant recommend it enough.
We had an absolute fantastic week at Bryn Derw Holiday Cottage. The house was immaculate, beds were super comfortable and the owners left us a lovely welcome basket and a Happy Birthday banner for our son's birthday. The views from the property are breathtakingly beautiful and sitting in the hot tub with those views was just perfect and the relaxing holiday we needed. Thank you!
We had a wonderful week here. The house is amazing and fully appointed for the 10 people who enjoyed the stay. The views are incredible, loved the hot tub, llamas and the outdoor area. Indoors was great with a large kitchen, lounge, dining room, 4 bathrooms and conservatory. Can't fault it and the time went far too fast. Thank you!
Philippa
We had a fabulous week in this amazing property with our family including two small babies. It had absolutely everything we needed, it was spotlessly clean and really well maintained. The views are spectacular, the hot tub was great, sitting in there just looking at the countryside was so relaxing. The alpacas are great fun, our grandchildren loved watching and feeding them. The owners Del and David were extremely helpful, and left us a lovely welcome basket and a bottle of prosecco, great start to the holiday! We would love to come back and have already recommended the property to friends and family.
Wow what a place! Lovely, bright and Clean, we didn't even get to use half the rooms. The views are amazing. Can not wait to return.
Lovely house and gardens with spectacular view. Warm welcome from Delyth and David. We had a lovely holiday.
Anthea
We had a wonderful week at Bryn Derw. The views are amazing. What a treat to eat breakfast outside contemplating the scenery, including the 6 gorgeous alpacas! I have remembered their names! I would not say I am a frequent user of hot tubs, but sitting in the tub with those views, with good friends was wonderful, especially while the men made tea! The house was warm and welcoming with a lovely welcome pack. Many thanks. The beds were so comfortable and there was everything you could need in the kitchen. There was lots of space and a super conservatory to take advantage of the views. The birdsong every morning and evening was a delight too. Perfect.

Nicola
We were absolutely delighted with Bryn Derw! The house was spacious, beautifully furnished, Super clean, well stocked with everything we needed and more. The welcome basket was a lovely caring touch. The views were simply stunning and we loved sitting in the hot tub overlooking the hills and enjoyed total tranquility which allowed us to switch off from our busy lives. The games room and den were a hit with the teens. The owners were responsive to one or two questions I had and really helpful. We couldnt fault anything and would book again without a doubt.
Superb stay One of the best we have ever been to Really clean. Really spacious. Home from home. We will be back !!!
One of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed at and is a credit to the owners. The standard of everything is excellent. Great location with stunning views. Will highly recommend to friends and family and hope to be back soon.
