Philip
June 2024

“Very cosey comfortable cottage with lovely garden”

- Philip, June 2024
Helen June 2024

“We had a wonderful stay in this property.”

Plenty of room, considering it was three adults. The updated shower was a lovely find. Beautiful garden, and the view from the windows and the bedroom balcony was stunning. Close enough to walk to the town centre, especially if you use the back gate

- Helen, June 2024
Sioned April 2024

“Lovely comfortable cottage, with beautiful garden and dedicated parking space.”

Great to hear the history of the house from Mr Evans, the houseowner (he could write a book about his life!) I especially loved my morning chats with the sheep in the field next door

- Sioned, April 2024
Alison April 2024

“We had a lovely comfortable stay.”

David was very welcoming and very knowledgable about the property & surrounding area. We especially enjoyed the beautiful gardens & sitting on the balcony late afternoon.

- Alison, April 2024
Martyn October 2023

“The cottage is in a great location to explore the Llyn Peninsula and North Wales.”

The host, David, was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and it's history. We really enjoyed our week there.

- Martyn, October 2023
Pat July 2023

“This was a cottage in a lovely setting, we especially liked the fact the garden was large and for our own use.”

The kitchen had everything you could need and the balcony as a lovely spot for a cup of tea! It was very convenient for the town centre, within a 10 minute walk and very near an ASDA, It was in a good position to easily travel to many places on the coast such as Cricieth, Abersoch and Nefyn. We would certainly stay again.

- Pat, July 2023
Jim June 2023

“Had a great time and brilliant weather.”

Property very spacious, comfortable and clean. Well equipped, good Wifi service. The owner is very welcoming and hospitable, showing us round the main house later in the week and telling its interesting history . The gardens were beautiful.

- Jim, June 2023
Ann May 2023

“Comfortable and well equivalent cottage with lovely garden to walk around.”

Better directions would help. It is on the right before the BP garage, entrance between two stone pillars

- Ann, May 2023

The entrance is opposite the BP garage - clearly marked by two large stone pillars. (It cannot be "on the right" since this depends upon your direction of travel - towards Caernarfon or towards Pwllheli) Property Owner
Patrick November 2022

“The gateway to the property is very narrow and access might be difficult for a very large SUV type vehicle.”

There are four steps to be negotiated to gain access to the cottage. It would be helpful if these details were included in the property description. The cottage is spacious and the central heating keeps the property nicely warm. Kitchen pots and pans, utensils, crockery and cutlery are quite adequate for a family of four. The lounge is well provided with seating but none of it particularly comfortable. The owner, Mr Evans, did say he planned to replace items for the new season. The double bed was comfortable and well provided with bedding. The shower in the bathroom is excellent and the heated towel rail is good but is the only heat source. There are good views over Pwllheli from the rear windows and a large area of lawn at the front between the cottage and the main road. We did not experience any undue road noise during our stay. Mr Evans was very friendly and helpful and gave us an insight into the history of the large house in the grounds of which the cottage stands. All in all we would thoroughly recommend Bwthyn as a good base for exploring the area.

- Patrick, November 2022

The gateway to the property is 8 1/2 feet wide which is ample for cars including SUVS, vans and boat trolleys. The allocated parking space is close to the gateway and a flat pathway leads to the cottage where there are four steps up to the entrance door. (If Mr Evans graciously allows parking in his own yard, you will find 6 extra steps to be negotiated) Property Owner
Arthur October 2022

“In the cottage description, you mention 3 steps to the front of the house.”

There is no mention of the 6 steps and stone path from the parking area to the house. A disabled person would need to alight from the car at the main entrance and then negotiate the gravel path to the house. We were very happy with the accommodation. The owner, David, was very pleasant and helpful.

- Arthur, October 2022
Graham October 2022

“This was such a lovely cottage, close to all amenities and with lovely views though every window.”

We had everything we needed in terms of comfort and equipment and felt that, had we needed any form of assistance, either David or Madeleine would have responded speedily. We would love to revisit and have already recommended it to family.

- Graham, October 2022
Andrew September 2022

“An excellent location for our holiday on the Llyn peninsula.”

Cottage very clean and comfortable and nice to be able to walk to the facilities in Pwhelli. David, the owner made us feel most welcome and would certainly go back.

- Andrew, September 2022
Rebecca July 2022

“The lodge was an eclectic mix of country gardens, continental marina views and an antique charm.”

Our children loved searching for Gruffalo’s within the secluded walls, tasting fruit from the trees and walking barefoot on the fluffiest grass. A gem of a stay in a fabulous location, a wonderful host and a magical resonance of our youth. We will return as we always do year on year to Pwllheli but we will most certainly be gracing the lodge with our presence again.

- Rebecca, July 2022
Sharon May 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage.”

The grounds are stunning and immaculate and the owner David is a lovely gentleman who was very welcoming and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is in a perfect location. We have recommended to friends and family and we will most certainly book again.

- Sharon, May 2022
Peter May 2022

“A nice quiet location with great views over the harbour.”

The apartment is surrounded by a beautiful garden and is clean and has all the facilities needed.

- Peter, May 2022
Keith April 2022

“There is a problem with the shower not draining properly, we discussed this with the owner who was going to get someone in to rectify the problem.”

I put comfort down a bit as the double bed isn't big enough for a big lad like me 6ft 4ins

- Keith, April 2022
Patricia April 2022

“The accommodation was clean and comfortable and provided everything that we needed for our self catering break.”

The owner made us feel most welcome and the information that he provided was very useful. Even the blossom trees in the garden were at their very best when we arrived and it was a pleasure to sit out and enjoy them when the Welsh weather permitted. We would recommend and would return.

- Patricia, April 2022
Susan October 2021

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Cottage was warm and comfortable. Owner and host, David, friendly, welcoming and helpful.

- Susan, October 2021
Rodney September 2021

“The cottage was comfortable and had an old-fashioned charm, with beautiful gardens and a view of the harbour from our bedroom balcony.”

The owner was very helpful and some of his suggestions enhanced our stay, including for local places to eat out and for scenic coastal walks. It was our first visit to the Lleyn Peninsula and it won’t be our last, with memorable walks and birdwatching.

- Rodney, September 2021
Jackie August 2021

“This was our third stay here we have loved it, but property needs upgrading, kitchen, crockery, beds, towels, carpet.”

WiFi was intermittent but on day we left check out was at 10am but at 9.45 owner and cleaner came in without knocking. Without masks and cleaner went into room and started cleaning when we were just doing our final checks to make sure we had not left anything and moving last bags out. We asked if we could have an extra 5 minutes and were told no as she is here now! Was a poor end to the holiday and made us feel rushed and unwelcome.

- Jackie, August 2021
Val July 2021

“This is a lovely cottage that is like a home from home.”

There is an exit through the garden that is an easy route to the town.

- Val, July 2021
Victoria June 2021

“Y Bwthyn was lovely.”

The cottage suited us very well and was within easy reach of the beaches and shops. The gardens of Brynhyfryd are beautiful and our host was charming and very helpful.

Margaret May 2021

“The host was very welcoming and helpful”

- Margaret, May 2021
Patricia April 2021

“Ideal for walking into Pwhelli - 5 minutes walk to Asda , 10 minutes into town.”

Great central location for visiting the amazing beaches on the Llyn, Cricceth, Portmerion. David was a great host, checking everything was ok. He offered full access to his gardens and we enjoyed a game of croquet on the lawn although there was a large private garden with the cottage..

- Patricia, April 2021
R October 2020

“Very nice place in a lovely setting, looking out over the town and beyond the bay.”

We would definitely go back to this accommodation if we were in that area again

- R, October 2020
Lynn October 2020

“Bwthyn is set in lovely surroundings and is located in a wonderful position for Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula.”

The cottage is spacious, very comfortable, well equipped (cooking facilities brilliant) and it’s fabulous to be able to regulate the central heating especially after a cold and wet tramp in the countryside. David provided a lot of information and was very helpful if needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

- Lynn, October 2020
Norman September 2020

Paul Whitelaw Jan 2019

“The cottage was spotlessly clean and there was even a cake to welcome us!”

The weather was exceptionally cold and the cottage felt cold even though the heating was on. But eventually it did warm up and we were nice and cosy. Just one problem. We took some DVDs with us but couldn't get the DVD player to play. I tried to call the owner on several occasions for advice but there was no answer. This does need to be addressed

- Paul Whitelaw, Jan 2019

From the Owner: Thank you for your kind feedback and I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I was unfortunately away the weekend you stayed in Bwthyn Bach but had my mobile with me and to the best of my knowledge I did not miss any calls from yourselves or Menai Holidays. Thank you Property Owner

“Clean, nicely laid out cottage in quiet location.”

Lots of character and well equipped. Close to lovely beach and some nice pubs nearby. Great for e piloting local area

- Carol Himbury, Jan 2019
Jan 2019

“When we arrived the cottage, it wasn't ready for us.”

The cleaner hadn't turned up so it wasn't presentable, a rather messy apartment, no fresh clean linen on the bed, no clean towels, dirty linen in the bath. I contacted the owner and he kindly gave us directions to another house not too far away for the night and he resolved the problem first thing the following morning. We had the option if we wanted to stay in the house or go back to the previous cottage, which we decided would be better for us. We didn't want to stay in the house with stairs as it wasn't convienent with a crawling baby and wouldn't be very relaxing without a babygate. It was a disappointing start to out holiday after travelling with a poorly baby for hours and all went wanted to do was settle in for the night and unpack. However, the owner was very apologetic and resolved the issues as soon as he could which we were grateful for. Once settled we enjoyed our break away.

“Better than previous apartment where the bathroom was quite restricted and bedroom was tight too.”

This cottage a definite improvement. Would book this one again. Kitchen was good. 2 cupboards were full of glasses, too many really unless a large party was taking place. Therefore room for dry goods was restricted. But we managed to put most of glasses in one cupboard. Space in the fridge was wanting too, badly designed in the first place. Cooking facilities good, although we went out for most main meals.

“Cottage was great, clean, comfortable and a great location.”

Only a few tiny issues - a few things had almost run out - hand soap, washing up liquid, loo roll. Could also do with a few blankets in the lounge as it was pretty chilly in the evenings. Would def recommend though and would also stay again if we were in the area. Thanks

“Spacious,well equipped,modern fittings,welcome pack.”

Very conveniently placed for town and local walks,used car very little. Downside - outlook from property onto internal car park with neighbouring property car only view from window! Seemed to be a walkway to harbour past property even though it was a private access.Minor details-no waste paper baskets,wi fi sporadic,heating controls a bit random!

- Layla Diss, Sep 2018

Thank you for your email and your positive comments regarding the cottage & cleanliness have been noted. The owner within 2 hours of your call to the MHC office had changed the mattress for you and did not hear from you again until the following morning to advise that you had left. There are 2 comfy sofas and the TV does have a remote control. Property Owner

Joanna Taylor Aug 2018

“The cottage was lovely and very modern but I felt that the cleanliness was not up to scratch.”

The floors were dusty and didnt look as if they hadn’t been cleaned. Fridge hadn’t been cleaned as we found bits of food in it. This I know is being very picky but just feel that this should have been looked at before we came. Little attention to detail like, maybe a few games to play and provision of a DVD player if the weather is bad, as reception when it’s windy allows you to only watch BBC. I appreciate this is a new property and is still a project in motion so I think in a few months this will be top notch but I couldn’t give it top marks I’m afraid.

Mair George Jul 2018

“Lovely, modern, spacious, comfortable cottage, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.”

The friendly, welcoming owners live next door so on hand for anything you might need. The welcome pack with milk, bread, butter, sugar, tea, coffee and homemade fruit cake was much appreciated. The cottage is on a main road but most of the traffic was farm vehicles and really didn't bother us. The A55 is just up the road so access is good to all the major attractions. I would highly recommend this cottage as a very comfortable base to explore Anglesey.

- , Jul 2018
Jul 2018

“Good stay in central location.”

Apartment was well furnished. The reason we cannot give the apartment a higher score is that is was not properly cleaned. We've stayed in quite a few apartments before, but never in such a dirty one. Floors in kitchen and bathroom were definitely not mopped (cleaned with water and detergent). Other parts of the house could have done with a proper clean as well. We also considered the amount of towels provided to guests (2 per person) too few. We missed an instruction for the key box. There are many instructions in the apartment but not for the key box. How to reset if you type in the wrong code for example.

- , Jul 2018
Jul 2018

“Beautifully updated and furnished and a fabulous location.”

A couple of small things could be done to make it even better e.g.. provision of a hairdryer, a bench or seating in back garden and a blind in the bathroom window. The picnic table in the front garden is lovely but too big for the space it's in

Kathryn Barraclough Jul 2018

“The cottage was beautiful.”

It had every thing we needed. The beds were the most comfortable I have slept in. The furnishings were lovely. The sofas were also very comfortable, easy to spot the good quality. The garden was very nice and safe for our dog. The location was perfect if you want peace and quiet. There was a pub and a,couple of nice Hotels which all welcomed dogs in the bar and gardens, about 1.7 miles down the road. The beach was within easy reach. We did not walk owing to the hot weather and having to try our best to keep the dog out of the sun. Had the temperature been cooler then I am sure we would have walked down each morning. Great location foe exploring the area.

Sarah Ogden May 2018

“The cottage was lovely and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofas, and nice bathrooms.”

It was lacking a clothes line or airer which was a pain for drying beach gear and our waterproofs which we did not want to put in the tumble drier. There were no clocks anywhere except on the oven. An internal bin/box for putting recyclables in would have been helpful, as we had to pop outside every time we wanted to put something in the recycling. The cottage was lacking in tourist information and local walking maps/direction, although we did appreciate the OS map.

Clean, warm and cosy in the fantastic base of Criccieth. Mountains, seaside - take your pick and great places to eat - cafe 46 for homemade cakes is a must as is the castle chippy! Bedroom a little small but didn't bother us too much and although no designated parking not a problem to find a space nearby.

“Spacious and well appointed cottage.”

Bedroom and bathroom were lovely. Good location for exploring the area. I understand the owner intends to install a log burner and it will be absolutely perfect for a winter break.

“Lovely clean and welcoming cottage in super location.”

Good spot for the harbour, steam trains, shops and restaurants. Comfortable beds and good kitchen and seating area. Only comment would be that a small dishwasher would make the holiday let perfect.

“The property was of a good standard and clean, but was let down by omissions on the inter-rental servicing.”

There was no washing up liquid, no oven glove, an empty hand wash bottle had been left on the basin, there was insufficient toilet paper, and the freezer compartment of the fridge was so iced up, its door could not close which in turn was preventing the main fridge door from shutting.

“Lovely owner who was extremely helpful.”

The setting is peaceful and calm. My only niggle was the tv was very small ( I do understand that that is just our opinion) otherwise perfect.

“Beautifully refurbished, clean, cosy and stylish.”

Lovely to go somewhere that's equally as nice as where you live. Great views too, despite the rain! The basket of logs could have been bigger but it was nice to see dishwasher tabs, bin liners, cleaning materials, loo roll etc had been provided. A very enjoyably stay.

“Super cottage - very comfortable and well equipped with a good atmosphere.”

The private garden was a real bonus. Perfectly placed in Criccieth, and exploring further afield was very easy. Would not hesitate in recommending this cottage, although it is worth mentioning the low beams in both bedrooms. As it turned out this was not a problem for us, but if you're on the tall side it could be!

“The cottage lacked a lot of things to be functioning as self catering.”

The underfloor heating was not working, no matches provided for the fireplace, 2 logs for 5 night staying guests, no handbook. The living room window was stuck ajar, bathroom window not frosted nor had curtain, no wardrobe in the master bedroom, no coat hangers downstairs, bedsides useless as the lamps were too big. The cottage did have nice sea view and near to the beach but the owner did not pay much care for the house itself nor for her paying guests. The rate is not cheap, hence didn't meet the standard. If these aforementioned issues are fixed, the house could be nice, but be aware of the appalling customer service if something goes wrong.

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you did not enjoy your holiday, this is absolutely not what Menai Holiday Cottages is about. We write accurate descriptions, check our houses every year and if there is a house that has received complaints we also follow up with a visit. Which we did on this occasion. This is to ensure we can fully understand the concerns that have been raised, and therefore decide what action should be taken. In this case we feel we have dealt with any valid issues correctly and professionally. Choosing a house is not easy and if you call us we are here to help, sometimes just picking one from a web site when you have no knowledge of the area is not straightforward. Try as we might, we cannot please all of the people all of the time. I am sorry to read your complaint but we have done our level best and will take all of you points on board for the future.

The property

Bwthyn at Brynhyfryd is a self-catering cottage within an acre of gorgeous grounds surrounding a Victorian mansion built by a local ship-builder.

The location is just fabulous.

Bwthyn is an ideal base for exploring the Llyn peninsula and the mountains of Snowdonia.

The balcony with its table and chairs is an excellent place to enjoy the views of the marina, Cardigan Bay and the mountains of Mid-Wales whilst enjoying a cuppa or something stronger.

There is a patio with table and chairs for meals or games.

You are free to stroll around the grounds where table tennis and croquet are available.

Bwthyn is on the outskirts of Pwllheli, a busy harbour and market town with a mix of shops, cafes and restaurants and two long beaches.

Your just a ten minute stroll from Llyn coastal path.

The Llyn peninsula is famed for it's walks, beaches and other attractions; do not forget to visit the Glyn Y Weddw art gallery and Cafe!

And the castles and mountains of Snowdonia are never far away.

Enjoy!
