Bryn Coch Bach Reviews

Stephen
This was our second stay in this EXCELLENT cottage. Great beds. Comfy chairs. Well equipped kitchen. Fantastic views. Easy parking. Plus Netflix and Amazon prime for those wet days. Spotless. One of the best Sykes cottages we've stayed in. One small suggestion would be a new fridge freezer as the one in the kitchen is a bit small. But overall an excellent property and thoroughly recommended. 5 stars all the way.
Our 5th stay at Bryn Coch Bach and hopefully it wont be our last ! The property is has everything that you could ask for and is always clean and tidy with friendly hosts who always make you feel welcome. Based in a great location for walking and traveling around Snowdonia we look forward to our next visit.
We had an amazing time at Bryn Coch. The bungalow was spotless, beautiful situated with stunning views and great amenities. There was even a car charger! The owners were very friendly and available if we had questions or any issues, not that we had any. I would highly recommend this accommodation. We will certainly return.
Joanne
Mrs Griffiths was a breath of fresh air. She was kind and very welcoming. The cottage itself had everything we needed and the layout was great.The cottage was spotless and we felt at home straight away. The views were fantastic.A great way to start the day looking out to sea. So good was our stay that we have already booked for next year.

Robert
A very well presented property. Perfect for exploring North Wales. We have stayed in many rental properties over the years and this ticked all the boxes.
Anthony
Excellent accommodation in a great location.
Returned for a second time and as good as before. Everything you need in the cottage, all very comfortable and the view out to the sea is fantastic. Harlech and Barmouth just 20 minutes drive away and Porthmadog and Criceith an easy drive away too. Dogs love the garden.
Stephen
Probably one of the nicest Sykes properties we have stayed in. Great location. Lovely views. Good beds. Comfortable sofas. Great WiFi. Netflix. Well equipped kitchen with easy to use cooker plus air fryer. Lovely dining area with incredible views. Very impressive. The fact we've booked for next year says it all really. Thoroughly recommended. 5 all the way.
This was our 4th stay and once again we enjoyed a lovely week. Will definitely be visiting again.
Fantastic cottage. Had everything we needed even an air fryer. Allowed us to explore both north and south of the national park as the cottage was 20 mins drive from both. Local shops were great for every day essentials. Owners were on site but never felt imposing. View and sunsets from the patio were stunning. This definitely a home from home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Christine
Superb Holiday accommodation with wonderful owners. An outstanding property that is kept immaculate. This was our third stay and we will certainly book it again. The views from the property are second to none.
William
Owners very friendly and always had time of day. Some cottages have more but sometimes less is better as in this case.morning drink relaxing outside overlooking village cannot be over stated. 20 minute walk to the beach with bloodhound and you can go miles in either direction..bookedcagain for next year...xxx
This house is extremely clean and comfortable and the view is so calming. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our dog absolutely loved it, sitting out on the lawn looking out to sea, there are also lots of great walks in the area and plenty of books in the house giving you all the details. In all we would give this full marks for a lovely house and owners 1010 .
Carole
Great place, second stay and will return again, thank you.
Pauline
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in North Wales and plan to return to this property in the future. The owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful to us. The views over the coast, especially the sunsets will be a particular memory along with estuary walks .
Robert
We loved our stay at the cottage. Alma the owner made us so welcome and keeps the cottage in immaculate condition. Would recommend to anyone for a lovely relaxing stay
Bryn Coch Bach was a wonderful place to stay, very clean and well presented with lots of space. Very welcoming and they really have thought of everything, not sure weve ever been to such a well equipped holiday home before.
Gillian
Bryn Coch Bach was extremely clean and comfortable with magnificent views. We had a wonderful holiday. There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area, with lovely views everywhere. Our dog was made very welcome, as were we. They had thought of every detail. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this cottage.

Beautiful bungalow with everything you could possibly need. Exceply clean and well maintained. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The views from the bungalow were amazing......especially the sunsets. Easy parking outside the door. All in all one of the best properties we have stayed in.
Sandra
This was a lovely place with very friendly owners who we saw on arrival. Bryn Coch Bach was amazing and they had thought of everything, the little extras were appreciated after a long drive. Peach our dog settled straight away always a good sign when she runs in and lays down to sleep.

David and Alma very friendly, but not obtrusive. An ideal cottage for a quiet break, with plenty of places to explore within reach.
This is the best place in Wales we love to stay. Owners always make you welcome in this emaculate property.
Richard
Superb Bungalow in a great location mid way between Barmouth and Harlech. Owners are so lovely. This was our second stay at Bryn Coch Bach... and likely won't be our last.
This was the second time that we have stayed at Bryn Coch Bach and the standard of comfort and cleanliness was just as high as the first time that we stayed . Alma and David gave us a lovely welcome made us feel home from home. Wonderful location for touring Mid Wales. We like it so much that we have already booked for next year.
Excellent property, comfortable and very clean. Set in beautiful landscape gardens. We had the hottest week on record, end to end sunshine, lovely quite garden to relax in, sunsets were amazing. The beds, you didn't want to get out of because you'd had a good nights sleep. A well stocked kitchen, with everything you could possibly need from cutlery to tea bag squeezer. A nice bottle of wine, and sweet cakes were left for us along with the much needed pint of milk. for that first cup of tea. Alma and David were there if you needed them, other than watering the plants and cutting the lawn, you wouldn't know they were there. Thank you for a much needed break
If only we could keep this special place a secret. A wonderful place to stay in Wales.
Carole
Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely cottage. We enjoyed lots of walks around Barmouth Beach & Harlech Castle. Would highly recommend The Talyllyn Railway to see the waterfalls at Dolgoch. The Tilman pub and the Last Inn in Barmouth are great places to go for a drink. We had Fish & Chips from Billys and a great cure from the Saffron. Would also recommend the Hufan Artro for somewhere to eat. Hope to visit again soon from the Hemmings family
Amazing panoramic views to coast from this well kept bungalow. Although attached to owners property it is very private and 5 hosts are very welcoming and on hand if needed but not intrusive. Very comfortable, well equipped and immaculately clean. A great base to explore the coast and hills and easy to travel further afield. Would love to return. Only downside is you cant control the weather but added rain enhances the waterfalls!
Gillian
I would say it is the best property we have stayed in in Barnmouth, the location was superb , the property was great , there was everything there we could want . Spotless clean , very comfortable and the owners very friendly and welcoming ,I would say we would be very happy to stay there again and we will definitely look to see if there is a vacancy when we visit Barnmouth again
Accommodation exceeded all expectations, the best we have ever stayed in and have already recommended to family and friends.
Joanne
Lovely, very comfortable well appointed cottage with fantastic views and very central for all amenities and places to visit. Barmouth only 5 miles away was an amazing place with one of the best beaches I've been on. We all had a great family holiday and enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous home from home cottage.
5 star accommodation which was very clean & well equipped. The host is welcoming & very helpful and responded to any queries promptly. I feel she went above & beyond to make my stay comfortable. The accommodation is spacious and bright with great views . Im glad I chose the location as its halfway between both Barmouth & Harlech with easy access to both yet more peaceful. The added bonus of being dog friendly and having an electric car charger made Bryn Coch Bach a real winner.
This is our 6th visit to the area, but the first time stopping at this lovely home we visited as a couple with a 7 year old, 8 month dog and an electric vehicle. A fabulous stay was had, lovely quiet location, wonderful viewsvery attentive owners. The kitchen was well equipped, living room very relaxing with stunning views which are also carried through to the kitchendining room. The beds were super comfortable we almost didnt want to get out of them. Outside socket to charge our car for a small charge direct to the owners. I cannot wait to visit again. Would recommend booking meals in advance As is in Harlech is lovely.
Robert
Very pleased with cottage was immaculate cleaned and maintained
