Michael December 2023

“Property is beautiful, warm and cosy.”

Everything was well presented. On original advert it stated garden was secure however this wasn’t the case as our dog could let around and out the gate. Rooms were spacious and the log burner heated the whole downstairs. Owners were really polite.

Gail June 2023

“It was such a lovely cottage and garden with plenty of room for dogs to explore and us to enjoy.”

It was welcoming and so peaceful. House sparrows are adorable. You can hear owls at night too. we saw red kites, a snake (not at the cottage ) Scenery is gorgeous. Wildlife abundant. Most things are on the doorstep that you need. Would encourage other guests to go explore. Would definitely recommend. It was just what we needed from a holiday, our Welsh pronunciation not great but locals were happy to help out. We had some great food too. Dogs were welcomed too. All round fabulous

- Gail, June 2023

Thanks so much for your kind words they are much appreciated. So pleased that you had an enjoyable holiday. Property Owner
Jennie June 2023

“Beautiful holiday cottage in truly idyllic surroundings.”

The view from the garden was breathtaking. Short drive to the dog friendly beach at Tywyn, which our dogs adored. Very quiet, there were many days when we found we had the beach all to ourselves which was great. Very friendly local butcher. Well stocked kitchen. The only drawback/area for improvement we can suggest, mattresses on the beds weren't very comfortable, maybe consider replacing these? Otherwise, 5 stars, 10 out 10, would definately recommend to others

Gareth December 2022

“This was a wonderful weekend away in a beautiful part of the World.”

From the outset the booking process was easy and the email we received with directions and details of how to access the cottage were also very clear. The cottage itself was stunning and has been refurbished to a very high standard, whilst keeping the wonderful original elements. It was incredibly quiet in the complex and we saw one person once all weekend. Our two teens and pooch also enjoyed the space and wonderful walks. It was very rural but within easy reach of Bryncrug and Tywyn, which for us as visiting relatives in Tywyn made it most convenient. We will definitely be returning!

- Gareth, December 2022

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Property Owner
Elin November 2022

“Spent 3 lovely nights at Craig y Deryn.”

Location was just beautiful, exactly what we wanted. Cottage is as described, comfortable and cosy. Would definitely stay again. Diolch.

- Elin, November 2022

Very pleased cottage met your expectations, thank you for your kind comments. Property Owner
Ralph October 2022

“Lovely cottage with lots of space and fantastic views.”

It's situated along a single track dead end road so it's very quiet there but only a mile to Bryncrug and 7 minutes drive to Tywyn so not so remote as to be isolated. Booking through Skykes was not to my liking as it was all done online with no personal human contact at any point. The only person we did see was the lady who looks after the cottages and that was on our last day 10 minutes before we left to drive home.

- Ralph, October 2022

Many thanks for your kind comments. Property Owner
John October 2022

“A beautiful cottage that genuinely exceeded all expectations.”

The situation is idyllic, peaceful and spectacular. The cottage is comfortable and very clean and tidy. I would book to stay here anytime it really is that good . Having spent over 25 years visiting this area this is my favourite cottage and my favourite location.

- John, October 2022

Many thanks for your very kind feedback it is really much appreciated. So pleased you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner
Paula September 2022

“Wow, what a beautiful cottage, well designed and maintained.”

Also very cosy and well equipped, we had everything we needed. The views are unbeatable, and it's a great location for exploring the area. We hope to be back.

- Paula, September 2022
Judy September 2022

“What a lovely place!”

Cosy, clean and comfy. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere (beautiful part of the world), but minutes to the beach. Garden was huge, the dogs loved it. Would definitely return!

- Judy, September 2022
Christopher September 2022

“Another enjoyable stay at Bryncrug.”

The cottage is peaceful, comfortable and well equipped. The wifi went down during the first evening of our stay but there is a good 4G signal that worked well with our phones. We enjoyed walking on the local beaches and found good woodland walks and waterfall walks in the area. Coed y Drenin woodland waterfall walk was really enjoyable.

- Christopher, September 2022

Thanks again for your kind comments it was good to have you back again. Property Owner
Nicola August 2022

“Just arrived back home after an amazing holiday.”

“The cottage was welcoming and very well equipped.”

It was like a home from home! The owners were also friendly. The views and surroundings are just stunning - so peaceful but also not too far from the lovely towns and beach.

Karen April 2022

“A really beautifully decorated cottage in a stunning location, so peaceful and yet a short drive from Tywyn and Aberdovey for the beaches and shops.”

The cottage had everything we wanted and the robes and slippers left in each room was a really lovely touch - our boys thought it was great and thought they were on a spa weekend!! The cottage was spotlessly clean and the towels and bedlinen provided. There was plenty of parking available and a lovely shared garden with the cottage next door, with plenty of room for our boys and dog to run around, it was lovely. We will definitely be back for longer next time.

- Karen, April 2022

Many thanks for your very kind comments. Really pleased you had a good time. Property Owner
Robert March 2022

“A lovely well-equipped & cosy cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location.”

A short drive from civilisation but that was part of it's appeal - a great base for mid-wales generally and the south side of Snowdonia with great estuaries & beaches within a 10 minute drive. Equally perfect for a "do nothing" break in the midst of stunning natural beauty and silence. We will be back for sure.

- Robert, March 2022
Elaine February 2022

“Beautiful barn conversion in a stunning location.”

Well equipped, comfortable & homely.

- Stephen, November 2021
Sue October 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

Clean with most of the usual mod-cons. Could do with a few more bits in the kitchen and some of the roasting dishes were a bit rusty. Other than that no issues. Wifi doesn't really work - would be better to advertise without wifi. Host was really helpful and was very welcoming. A perfect location to access Snowdonia and also the beach. Look forward to retuning.

- Sue, October 2021

“Yes we had trouble with wasps coming in through the bedroom roof light Friday we were due to leave I was stung 3-45 in early hours we had got rid of number of them earlier.”

“Absolute perfection!”

R August 2021

“I think it was expensive.”

Covid rules require late arrival and early departure so the first and last days are not really holiday. We understand ours was a late booking in peak time but we felt £800 for effectively three days holiday was expensive. We were also a little surprised not to get some type of welcome pack - most places have some milk, maybe some wine and some biscuits or welshcakes.

- R, August 2021
Kim August 2021

“Fabulous cottage, Great location, well equipped, easy to get to the beach and hills.”

- Kim, August 2021
Dennis August 2021

“Cleaning not the highest standard.”

Pillow protectors stained, found an odd slipper under the living room carpet and a plaster under one of the single beds. A delightful location although the accommodation was rather tired.

- Dennis, August 2021
Joe July 2021

“Even more beautiful cottage than the photos suggested!”

- Joe, July 2021
Carol June 2021

“Cottage was beautiful as was the area surrounding.”

The cottage had everything to make our stay perfect and hassle free. The owner Bob who lived opposite couldn’t gave done more to ensure we had an enjoy stay and we felt very welcome. The area was lovely for both beach and countryside days out with our two dogs and we would love to come back again!

- Carol, June 2021
Philip May 2021

“As a first time booking/holiday with Sykes we were /are very happy from start to finish .”

Ease of booking and quality of accomodation really first class

Laura September 2020

“We absolutely loved our stay at Craig Y Deryn.”

Such a gorgeous cottage in a beautiful location. The owner Bob is brilliant, and couldn’t do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring a truly beautiful part of the country and arriving back at a lovely cosy cottage, with a log fire and Sky TV. Will definitely be returning, and 100% recommend a stay at Craig Y Deryn. My family were staying in the cottage next door for the duration of our stay, which is another gorgeous cottage. Cannot wait to return!

- Laura, September 2020

“Everything about this beautiful cottage showed how much the hosts cared about making sure we were comfortable and safe in view of Covid.”

The cottage was very relaxing and had it been cold, wood was provided for the log burner. The views were magnificent and it was very peaceful. Beds very comfortable and lots of hot water. Kitchen well equipped. Ideal area for walking.

- Shirley, September 2020

Tucked away on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park it boasts beautiful scenery. The cottage is very warm and cosy and everything you will need for the stay is provided for.

About the location

TYWYN

Aberdovey 4 miles; Dolgellau 20 miles.

The tranquil town of Tywyn lies on the sweep of Cardigan Bay, perched on the end of the imposing Cader Idris mountain range where the landscape tumbles into the sea on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. The promenade and town are all on one level, ideal for that gentle evening stroll by the clear blue water of the Bay. Shopping in Tywyn is a pleasure, with a regular open-air market, and local shops offering a wide range of local produce and gifts. The proximity to mountains and sea means the town also offers a wide variety of activities, from mountaineering to surfing, and the area offers leisurely rambles through the beautiful countryside. Slightly further afield lie the towns of Dolgellau and Aberdovey (with its golf course), while attractions such as Harlech Castle, Llanfair Slate Caverns and the Talyllyn Railway, together with the sandy beaches of the Cambrian coast make this an ideal location for a relaxing break.
