“We had a really lovely break here - a beautiful house, stunning surroundings and the perfect setting for our extended family getaway.”

The caretaker was always on hand and responsive. The facilities meant we could have a good number of quiet days at home (even with a troupe of teens and kids!) but there was also plenty of places nearby for trips out. We are definitely planning to come back. Thanks for everything!

“Good Morning Wow !”

!! What a beautiful property - from the building its self to the interior design it showed care and thought. We were a family of 3 generations, semi wheelchair user and 2 dogs !!! The space and facilities were amazing. Your caretaker Gareth was great with places to go and general knowledge of the area and how things worked within the home. We had a fantastic week (weather this week helped but if it had rained and we had stayed in we would never get bored with the basement !!!) We are trade people - double glazing, property developers and ground working people so we found the book on the property very exciting to look at and could appreciate the workman ship you put in to building the property. When I was looking for a property to take the wheelchair yours fitted every thing (if I could just add the maybe a walk in shower with fold away chair on the wall may be an idea) But we were able to wheel dad round the whole house and out side with no problem - even up to the outdoor BBQ - fantastic We will be back to explore more of Wales and hope to stay at the luxurious home Rynys Thank you Laura Paul and the Gang

“The house was faultless.”

So well considered. Everything you could possibly need. Beautifully maintained. Gareth the caretaker was so helpful. The service from Sykes was woeful though. Impossible to contact and really tricky to book through.

Lisa June 2024

“Amazing house, we all loved it.”

Everything you needed! Even better than what we expected from the photos. Only wish we had stayed longer. We would definitely return and recommend.

“Our stay was fabulous!”

The pictures of the property look amazing but really don’t do it the justice it deserves - simply outstanding! We were all blown away by the thought and care that had gone into the property and looking to book again. The games room, garden space, trampoline and cinema were a huge hit, the views stunning, the location perfect. It just had everything we could ever want and more. Gareth the caretaker was fantastic too! As with the photos, I’m not sure I can do the property justice in this review either. We were a group of 3 generations, all equally impressed and would highly recommend. Thank you so much to the owners, and Gareth, for sharing this beautiful house with us.

Stuart March 2024

“For the most part absolutely brilliant.”

Kitchen and cinema room particularly good. Technology great. How you get wifi that good in a rural location. Location really good. Easy to get to places but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. Only downside was the wool mattresses on some of the beds. The guests with these rooms found them too hard and struggled to get a good night's sleep.

- Stuart, March 2024
Mark March 2024

“The house was fantastic, clean and the welcome pack was very much appreciated.”

Everything you could possibly need during the holiday was provided. Standouts were the cinema room and games room - very impressive. The trampoline in the garden was a big hit with our toddler - great for tiring him out during the day! The location of the house was great - close to both the coast and mountains, lots to do in the local area. Gareth was there to greet us and responded quickly to any requests. A great holiday in a fantastic house - we will definately be back! Many thanks.

“Well, what can I say… we absolutely loved our week at Rynys, it was everything we had hoped for and more.”

Chosen mainly for the location, as well as luxury and comfort, we were not disappointed. Upon arrival the property was clean and tidy and in the kitchen was a welcome pack, which was much appreciated. There was also a folder which contained everything that you would need to know about the property and appliances plus lots of information leaflets for local attractions/places to visit. The views from the property are astounding, and it was very relaxing sitting out on the balcony or patio first thing in the morning with a cuppa, just gazing at the hills and mountains and listening to the wildlife. Rynys is exceptionally well laid out and the fixtures and fittings are of a high standard. We found a lot of our time was spent in the large, bright kitchen/diner, which is a great place to sit and chat, and also a great space for our dogs to rest and sleep in. It was always nice to relax in the living room later on, and we even had a fire in the wood burner one evening. All the bedrooms are very well furnished and the master bedroom is amazing, with views to die for from the balcony. The games and entertainment in the basement and garage were just another added treat for us all, and we really enjoyed using these facilities. Rynys is central to everywhere we wanted to visit, we just didn’t have time to get around all of them, but Conwy, Beddgelert, Betws-y-Coed, Caernarfon, and Angelsey are all less than 30 minutes drive. You can literally be in a forest, on a beach, up a mountain, walking along a river or lake in no time at all. Our particular favourite was a recommendation from Gareth, the exceptionally nice and helpful caretaker. We mentioned that we were going to Angelsey one day and after asking what we liked, suggested Llanddwyn Bay - what an amazing day we had with the dogs, and the fantastic weather certainly helped. Gareth kindly bought over a ball for the dogs to play with too, which was very thoughtful of him. I would definitely recommend staying at Rynys, especially if you are getting together with a few friends or family, as there is so much to do. We’re already planning our next visit later in the year!!! Wendy, Steve & Doggies.

“Amazing well appointed property - great location with fantastic views.”

The cinema room and games room was a huge hit aswell as the log fires in the evenings. Gareth was very helpful and would highly recommend.

“Wow what an amazing property.”

So glad I chose Rynys to celebrate my 60th birthday, the house was perfect for the 6 of us to enjoy our week away. The photos were great but to see the house in person, blew us away. The kitchen/dinner was perfect for meals, cocktails, games boards & quiz competition. Pool table proved very competitive & was enjoyed by all of us and the cinema room was a bonus. Beautiful property, great size rooms, warm & cosy, even tried the log burner in the lounge one night. Nice and quiet location, fab views & near enough to visit places of interest. Would not hesitate to return or recommend. Great having Gareth on hand when we needed him.

- Susan, November 2023
Jessie October 2023

“The house was absolutely immaculate, on arrival Gareth the caretaker greeted me and my parter (along with a very obnoxious dog) and was more than lovely towards us.”

Throughout our stay we had a couple of minor incidents the main bathroom shower overflowed and caused water to leak through the ceiling, Gareth immediately aided us in what to do and made sure it was fixed the same day. The house itself was absolutely incredible with many facilities for all ages. The games room was an absolute hit for all 3 generations of my family and not to mention the sound quality of the sound system installed. Overall we were very impressed and I am sure we will be back!

Fran September 2023

“Superb holiday rental.”

Great location in North Wales close to Caernarfon and Anglesey. Our extended family really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of space and well laid out. The house is in a lovely setting and is extremely well furnished throughout. It was very interesting to read through the book about the house renovations, quite a project. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, thank you. Gareth was very helpful and on-hand if we needed anything. Our little grandaughter was fascinated by 'Magnus' the lawnmower as it travelled round the garden. She also thought watching 'Room on the Broom' with surround sound was just marvellous. Adults had a great time too and became very competitive at the pool table! We would highly recommend the house to others.

David September 2023

“An amazing house, that delivered beyond our expectation.”

We will definitely return again. Lovely country location, but close to all areas of North Wales.

Lee June 2023

“Had a wonderful stay with 4 generations of our family.”

The house was beautiful and absolutely immaculate with everything you could possibly need - apart from a microwave.would highly recommend and will definitely return.

- Lee, June 2023

My wife and I were very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Rynys. We try hard to exceed every visitors expectations and such positive feedback is therefore very welcome. We were sorry you were unable to find the microwave. The higher of the two AEG ovens is also a microwave. Property Owner

“What a gem!”

- Ivan, June 2023
Anna May 2023

“This was THE best house we have ever stayed in, and we've been in a few over the last 25 years - everyone was wowed by it and everything it provided which was every single thing you could need except a microwave (unless we just couldn't find it!”

). We chose the house for its location - Snowdonia and fantastic outdoor climbing around Llanberis - which is second to none, and the very large garden which was perfect for our dog who hates other dogs so we didn't want to have to take her out for walks - she loved the space and learnt very quickly to avoid the bee hives which are sited well away from the house and own a slope out of site - if you are concerned about such things. The views are incredible - sipping wine looking across to the mountains - it was heaven. The photos don't do the place justice as we didn't realise that the master bedroom is a contained suite with dressing room and amazing shower room. The downstairs boot room is amazing for storing all the walking kit and even a boot drier rack - we've never stayed anywhere so perfectly equipped and the whole family ran around on arrival exclaiming "WOW - look at this!" on arrival. We had sublime weather - just wall-to-wall sunshine - Anglesey has fantastic beaches and you are perfectly positioned for walking. There was ping-pong (not mentioned in the details so a nice surprise to find in the garage), table football, pool table, trampoline (very large) and a cinema room - for rainy days and kids - with a beer fridge so you don't have to go back up from the basement to the kitchen!! We had prosecco AND wine waiting in the fridge for us on arrival as well as milk and a basket with coffee, cake and welsh cakes. Fantastic. We had a perfect stay and will 100% re-visit. Don't even think twice about booking this place, you won't regret it - although don't book it so we can go whenever we want and pretend its ours!

- Anna, May 2023

Thank you Anna for your very positive feedback. My apologies for the slow reply - my family and I have been travelling until recently and avoiding the internet! The microwave is part of one of the AEG ovens. I have just read the same comment from another guest and so we shall amend the welcome pack to make it clear where it is. Property Owner
Josh May 2023

“We had an incredible couple of days at this property.”

The facilities and views are amazing, everything has been thought through from the lighting to the spaces. The welcome pack and bits in the fridge were a really thought. And the basement…wow. It has enough space and things to do for a whole group to do what they want which was great. Couldn’t recommend this place enough

Leah May 2023

““We found this amazing house online and WOW, it’s beautiful.”

The gardens are amazing, so much room for everyone to play football, they absolutely loved the games room and cinema room, so much space to relax after our Snowdon walk. Gareth is very polite and very welcoming, all the little extras in the welcome pack were so sweet, I’m in love with Welsh Cakes now! We will definitely be returning, by far the best house we have found yet!!!”

Leah April 2023

“Absolutely enjoyed staying here, everything was outstanding,the only thing I would say is that the pillows were to soft,your head just falles through,this isn't a complaint it's just a preference apart from that absolutely loved it it.”

Hooefully our next visit here will be for a week as we felt a weekend wasn't enough.

- Leah, April 2023
Matthew April 2023

“A wonderful weeks stay at Rynys, everything was perfect - the property is extremely well equipped and immaculately clean.”

The house was absolutely beautiful and had the most spectacular views. It was in a great location - ideal for exploring North Wales. On the couple of rainy days we all had fun in the games room and cinema room. Gareth the caretaker, was friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. We will definitely be returning.

“Amazing house for my family.”

Everything is so nice n fresh. Beautiful views outside the windows. Bed linens really clean. Bathrooms very fresh. We had so much fun in game room. We loved pool, table tennis, table football n kids loved trampoline n football. Fireplaces made the house quite warm n cosy.

Highly recommend for families or friends. So many things can do in the house. We had such a great time n kids don't want to leave at all!

Anne February 2023

“What an amazing house which made for a fantastic stay for the family.”

It has everything you could ask for. Welcome pack on arrival which was a lovely touch. Plenty of space inside the house ideal for a family of eight . The grounds outside were perfect , football goals set up and table tennis in the garage. The addition of a games and movie room, you were never bored. The grandchildren didn’t want to come home There is plenty to do in the local area too. Greenwood Family Park only 3 minutes drive away. Zip World and Snowdonia a drive away. We would definitely recommend Rynys to anyone wanting a perfect getaway. Gareth the caretaker is on hand if you need anything or have any questions. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

- Anne, February 2023

My family and I are so pleased you enjoyed your time at Rynys. As you say, it is perfectly located to visit the numerous attractions north Wales has to offer. Thank you for taking the time to give feedback - it is so useful in helping us offer the best possible service to our guests. Property Owner

David October 2022

“Rynys is a fantastic place to stay!”

Very quiet location with views over the mountains and beautifully maintained. The weather wasn't kind to us during our stay, but that just gave us an excuse to light the log burners and make the most of the house itself. The open plan kitchen/dining area is a great place for socialising while preparing food, while the games room and cinema means that there's plenty of space even if you are in a big group. Looking forward to returning in the summer to make the most of the garden too!
