Snaptrip says

Bryn Cemlyn is a spacious and well-loved cottage in North Wales, appreciated for its beautiful location and ample amenities. Guests praise its cleanliness, the stunning scenery, and the bonus of a games room. While some guests mention the beds could be more comfortable and the kitchen could be better equipped for large groups, the property's charm, the helpfulness of the owner, and the overall experience have left many wanting to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as clean and well-maintained, with several positive remarks about its tidiness, contributing to a high cleanliness rating.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to both mountain walks and beaches, with stunning scenery and accessibility to local attractions. Some concerns about the main road are noted, but they don't significantly detract from the overall positive feedback on location.

The comfort of the property receives mixed reviews, with several guests finding the beds uncomfortable. However, the spaciousness and the large lounge area are appreciated, leading to a good but not excellent comfort rating.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the games room and ample seating. Criticisms include the kitchen size and lack of instructions for appliances, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

While guests have expressed appreciation for the property and the owner's helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so a score cannot be accurately given.

    Lots of bathrooms and toilets, all very clean. We had a fair bit of rain, but still nice walks from the house, enjoyed by kids and dogs. The playroom was also very popular. A wonderful 4days with extended family.

  • Sharon

    Was very clean and comfortable and ideal for our party (husband and I, 3 daughters, 2 son in laws and 3 grandchildren. And Smithy the dog!). We asked if a Christmas tree could be provided and 2 were left, plus boxes of lights and decorations so the children had great fun decorating the tree. The welcome pack of Prosecco, milk and mince pies and doggy treats was much appreciated. A really wonderful stay at a stunning house. The photographs really do not do it justice.
