Snaptrip says

Ael Y Bryn is a well-received cottage, praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and dog-friendly amenities. Guests appreciate the secure garden, comfortable beds, and the property's charm. The location offers good access to local attractions, with some minor maintenance issues noted but swiftly addressed by the owner.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, with only a few instances of cleanliness concerns such as dog hair and dirty dishes, which seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, easy access to local shops, takeaways, and attractions. The proximity to good dog walks and the town centre is also appreciated.

Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, the cosy atmosphere, and the well-equipped kitchen, contributing to a comfortable stay. The secure garden and dog-friendly touches add to the comfort for pet owners.

Facilities are generally good with modern amenities, though some maintenance issues such as a leaking tap and oven problems were reported. These were addressed by the owner, indicating responsiveness to guests' needs.

The provision of dog blankets, bowls, poo bags, and a book of dog and pub walks shows thoughtfulness. Some guests received welcome gifts like Welsh cakes, but as these are not consistently mentioned, they should not be expected by future guests.

    Exactly what we were looking for. Wood stove was such a treat as was the bath.

  • Frances

    Also loved that it’s dog friendly though they could escape from the garden. We had some issues with dirty saucepans just stuffed in the cupboard. Unlike other cottages we have stayed in there were no cleaning products at all apart from dishwasher tabs. Perhaps if you provided a pan scourer and washing up liquid these problems could be avoided. We thought 4 logs for a weeks rental was miserly and Welsh cakes 2 months past their sell by date not acceptable as a welcome pack!! Those things aside we had a good Christmas week with ok weather and would consider staying there again.

  • Audrey
