“We had a lovely stay at this very cosy cottage.”

Everything was clean, tidy and well equipped and an excellent location to explore Snowdonia. The local pub, Y Pengwern was also really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!

“The cottage is beautifully dressed and well furnished.”

The owner has considered their visitors needs well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are looking for a cottage a little off the beaten track (but only a little drive to get to local spots) then this is perfect. Everyone we spoke to was polite and pleasant and the parking is right outside the cottage. Lovely little stay, we will definitely be back again!

“Great cottage in ideal location.”

This is one of our favourite cottages in the area. We have stayed in over 30 different cottages and visit this area approximately every 2 months. The standards, comfort, facilities, cleanliness and provisions are superb. There was no concern with heating unlike some cottages that have limits on timers and low thermostat settings. The heating was really great, no restrictions to set temperature and remained on as long as you desired. So very comfy and warm. Very generous supply of logs and the wood stove was very effective (unlike some places) . The kitchen facilities has all one could possibly need for our stay. Comfy bed and plenty of space. Overall an amazing place to stay with wonderful views and parking right outside the cottage. Highly recommend

“A beautiful cottage, didn’t want to come home!”

Views were gorgeous, lovely furniture and style, some lovely artwork, very comfortable bed , everything we needed in the kitchen and lovely welcome card and gifts. Garden was secure for our dog and as we had such great weather, we enjoyed sitting out- even in the evening where the stars were awesome! Great location for exploring, walks and wild swims close by. Thank you for a wonderful stay ☺️

Mark August 2024

“Clean cottage, nice welcome card and drinks from owner.”

Lots of safety and local information. Everything in the cottage worked as it should, plenty of kitchen utensils, and was comfortable although be aware of low doorways at times! Minor improvements would be light above cooker, TV remote being renewed, maybe larger outside recycle bin, but this didn't prevent our enjoyment of the cottage. The views are astonishing, and local scenery beautiful whatever the weather. Easy driving access to Snowdonia north and south, and Lleyn. Did plenty of running and walking from the cottage, although be warned you'll need to be good with hills.

- Mark, August 2024
Liam August 2024

“A wonderful cottage and we had a fabulous stay.”

One of the most welcoming holiday homes I’ve stayed in. The welcome card and gift was lovely to have. I would most definitely return.

“One of the best maintained cottages we've stayed in.”

Exceptionally clean and comfortable, great garden, just a perfect suntrap. Secure enough for a 4 month old puppy! Everything we needed was there, even the things we hadn't thought of. Highly recommend.

Pen June 2024

“A lovely clean and comfortable cottage.”

We were there for 2 weeks and it had everything you could need! Very spacious and relaxing and a lovely garden too with views of the mountains with the most spectacular sunsets. Lots of walks from the cottage and such a great base for seeing so much of that part of the world. Thank you to the owners as it was a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend staying here. We will be back!

“Exactly as described.”

I was looking for a downstairs WC. It wasn’t listed, but on arrival found there was one. This is so helpful for various reasons. The owners are lovely and very helpful. Location perfect for exploring. Cleanliness is spot on. No doggy smells anywhere. There is also Netflix, handy to know. Beds extremely comfortable. Bath is deep to step into for anyone with limited ability. Perfect, definitely recommend and re visit. Loved, loved, loved the home from home feel. Decor was warming and high class. Book , book , book you won’t be disappointed.

“We loved our week in 5 Bryntirion - our family of four adults now and Collie dog.”

The cottage itself is cosy and warm and feels loved. The owners made us very welcome leaving us a welcome gift and card - a very personal touch. The basket of logs was much appreciated and we used the log burner all week, there are lots of throws to keep you warm and cosy if you are in. It was a real pleasure opening the curtains in the morning on one side to Manod Mawr and from the kitchen you look out onto the Moelwyns. Ffestiniog itself has so much to explore - Cwm Cynfal waterfalls were breathtaking and only a short walk away. Llyn y Cefn behind the house on the hill was literally accessed by public path behind the house. We didn’t have to get in the car much. As a hill runner and walker the area was very exciting to explore - with Manod Mawr not far away reached by rocky valleys and bluffs, Castell y Bryn fort, lakes..magical. As a climber the area has loads to explore and have fun in when the weather is good. We will definately be back - diolch yn fawr iawn x

“Cannot fault 5 Bryn Tirion.”

We had the most comfortable stay. Although the weather wasn't on our side Bryn Tirion made the perfect base for exploring Eryri and all it has to offer. The log burner was just the icing on the cake! 5* all round. We will be back!

- Natasha, November 2023
Louise October 2023

“We had a lovely time staying at this cottage.”

It was in a great location, close to everywhere we wanted to visit. The views from the cottage were amazing, it was cosy and had everything we could have asked for. The private garden was a bonus for the dog. We wold highly recommend 5 Bryn Tirion.

- Louise, October 2023
Karen September 2023

Dean August 2023

“I'd like to see at least one higher chair in the sitting room.”

The sofa suite was difficult to get out of - especially for my mum who has had a knee replacement.

- Dean, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback , I am sorry you had issues with the sofa and we could have also helped with a higher chair in the sitting room as more were available throughout the property if we were aware during your stay. We hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

“Thank you : A lovely few days with my two grown up boys with views over snowdon.”

House has everything we needed - however we did buy a pack of cards and meant to leave them for other guests but unfortunately I found them when unpacking. Cozy living room with a great wood burning stove for the damper days and comfy seats. A nice place. Much Appreciated Time out xx

Ann February 2023

“From first walking in to this lovely cottage it felt really relaxing.”

Very cosy with plenty of room for teenage grand children who could have their own space. Well stocked with everything we could need. Even the dog was happy. Spacious safe garden for Flynn. We love this cottage and will be back. Excellent location North and mid wales within easy reach. The coastline has some lovely beaches. And of course there’s Zip world for wet days undercover.

- Ann, February 2023
Richard November 2022

“We’ve stayed in quite a few cottages in the last few years and this is definitely the best.”

It’s a very cosy cottage, very well equipped and plenty of space. Nicely placed for seeing the whole of snowdonia. Only marked down slightly because the lounge furniture isn’t particularly comfortable and that’s a shame after a big day out on the hills. Would definitely return though.

- Richard, November 2022

Thank you for your positive Feedback , we are glad to hear that you will be returning too… With regard the seating , two newly upholstered Ercol armchairs & footstools have been introduced to improve your comfort at the cottage.. after walking in the hills . Property Owner

“A great place to stay with children, plenty of room.”

The view from the property is amazing. We had everything we needed in the property, and it was in the best location for all our family activities for the week. Not one problem from start to finish, we didn't want to leave.

Amar July 2022

Trevor June 2022

“This was probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in.”

Beautifully clean, lovely welcome, nicely furnished, necessary appliances. The views from the front windows are spectacular. As a location, it works really well, within 30 minutes of supermarkets, places of interest and a great beach. It is dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden. We stayed as a couple, but the cottage would be ideal for a family of four. We stayed two weeks and didn't exhaust the possibilities so hope to return soon.

- Trevor, June 2022
Samantha May 2022

“The cottage is beautifully furnished, well equipped with even a washer and dryer.”

Linens were clean and fresh, beds very comfortable. In a quiet spot, ideally located with gorgeous views. The place was spotlessly clean. We travelled as a family of 4 and a Labrador, inc 2 teenagers and and there was plenty of space. We would certainly love to return. The garden was well maintained and large, may not be 100% secure for a smaller dog though. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any queries. Thank you for having us :)

- Samantha, May 2022
David May 2022

“Amazing time more loo roll Victor lol.”

“Just returned from Bryn Tirion Cottage, absolutely beautiful, homely, clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location for views, mountains, lakes, waterfalls and so much can be done from the doorstep.”

Even in January we returned from a big day out and sat in the garden getting the last of the sun. The owners should be extremely proud of their cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, we will definitely be returning. Steve, Kristy & Ebony the very well walked happy pooch

Emily December 2021

“Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.”

Really comfy beds with lovely quality bed linens. Amazing location with absolutely stunning walks just footsteps from the house. The co-op in the town was handy for any bits we needed and for a bigger shop we only had to drive 20 minutes to Porthmadog. We would definitely recommend and hope to come back in 2022.

“Lovely comfortable cottage.”

In fact nicer in real life than the photos. A pleasure to stay there. Real attention to detail and thoughtful extras included a full basket of logs and firelighters and even a bottle of wine. The information pack was well thought out and tailored to what we might need (which made us reflect on how rare that is). Thanks for such a lovely stay. Jenny & Mac

The property

A superb double fronted cottage, located amidst beautiful countryside in the village of Llan Ffestiniog, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park.

With wonderful views across the open fields towards the Moelwyn, the Mountain Range and the surrounding rural landscapes, this Llan Ffestiniog cottage is ideal for those wishing to get away from it all.

It offers the perfect base for exploring the wild and rugged landscapes and stunning scenery of North Wales, ideally set up for a couple, friends, families and outdoor enthusiasts.

Presented and well-maintained to a high standard, retaining character and charm with exposed beams complementing the contemporary interior, tastefully furnished and decorated throughout with some wonderful eye catching detail, muted tones and splashes of colour, lovely soft fabrics and warm lighting.

The sitting room is spacious with a wonderful wood burning stove, a great place for everyone to sit, chat and relax after a busy day walking for a moment's peace and quiet, there is always the cosy snug to retire to and read that book you've been meaning to finish.

Moving through the property you will find a well-equipped kitchen, boasting everything you could possibly need to cater to your culinary needs.

Two steps lead up to the dining room where you can enjoy a quick breakfast before heading out for the day or a family meal together in the evening, as well as the utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, all individually designed with splashes of colours, soft lighting and well-presented beds, ensuring a good night's sleep.

The family bathroom boasts a bath with shower over, basin and WC.

Outside, there is parking for one car and a large garden at the rear with patio area and furniture, which provides somewhere to enjoy a glass of something on a warm summer's evening.

Village facilities are all within walking distance, the village pub has a good selection of wine and real ales and the thriving historic town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is only four miles away and is becoming increasingly popular amongst those seeking some thrills!

Look forward to Zip World Titan, the longest zip wire in Europe, Bounce Below and Zip Caverns, a subterranean system of trampolines and zip wires deep underground.

There are some lovely walks from the doorstep, a favourite is to Cynfal Falls, a wonderful dramatic waterfall hidden away in the wooded valley of the Cynfal River, and the spectacular gorge is within the Ceunant Cynfal National Nature Reserve.

A little further afield, why not visit the Italian village and gardens of Portmeirion, together with historic castles and sandy beaches all within a scenic drive.

This charming cottage is ideally placed and provides a great base for a holiday or short break anytime of the year.
