Gintare

This place is amazing. Owners are lovely people. We had a great time

A lovely place to stay. The welcome basket and milk, bread were very well recieved. Stunning views. The only things that do need addressing is the bathroom window doesn't open and the bathroom door doesn't shut properly. Thankyou

Vanessa

Great place to stay. Had everything we wanted. Liked it so much booked again for Christmas this year within 10 minutes of entering cottage. Railway pub very good food served.

Rachael

Really lovely weekend in a beautiful location close to some stunning walks and local pub ! Owners really go out of their way to make sure you have everything for your stay and that check in check out goes smoothly, they couldnt have been more helpful ! Lovely welcome pack on arrival and this was really helpful as we arrived much later than planned ! The bungalow was immaculately clean and had absolutely everything you could need for a comfortable stay ! Thank you !

Jeremy

A very friendly welcome and we appreciated the welcome pack provided. It was a nice cosy place to relax and unwind. While we were there they were in the process of putting extra rails in the fence to make it secure for the dogs.

Just had a good week at Awel Y Berwyn, the weather was a bit hit and miss but we still enjoyed our stay, the area is good for hill walking with walks right from the door. The cottage is well laid out and ideal for a family holiday, it is warm, clean and comfortable with the owners nearby if needed. The nearby pub is handy and welcoming. We ate twice at the Railway pub in the next village and the food was good wholesome pub grub. Would certainly recommend this cottage and would go again

Genette

My only feedback would of been smaller fencing as felt my dogs could get out of garden if I turned away as on the road. But other than that was amazing all the little extras from the host made it so easy we loved our stay the house and site was so tidy all grass immaculate just loved it , we will be back

Aayushi

We loved our stay at Awel Y Berwyn. Everything was perfect .It was genuinely a home away from home.We loved the starter pack of milk,bread ,tea, coffee,jam, marmalade and goodies for the Children.The house is perfect and very clean.They have a very well equipped kitchen with enough crockery , cutlery and utensils for cooking.The area itself is breathtaking surrounded by mountains .We took the dog out for different walks everyday.Thank you Ryan and Lucy.Ww will definitely be back again.

Absolutely amazing Bungalow. Very clean and spacious. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Excellent welcome pack provided. Owners have thought of everything . The views are amazing and some lovely walks. We had a lovely break and would definitely return.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean. It was spacious and a perfect setting for some time away with family. The addition of a welcome basket was particularly appreciated as it meant we didn't have to dash out to do shopping immediately on our arrival. The owners made us feel welcome and we had a restful and enjoyable stay.

Amanda

Absolutely lovely bungalow, very spacious and comfortable it has everything you need and more with plenty of outside space, the owners really have considered everything. Great welcome pack too. The views are seriously stunning with mountains all around and a view from every window. The weather was dry and sunny when we visited and sitting outside in the evening with the mountains surrounding us was perfect. Good pub, friendly people, we ate there twice, meals are great value. We had a great holiday with many interesting places to visit nearby.

Awel Y Berwyn is a fabulous cottage in an area of magnificent beauty. The design of the cottage is open plan, yet still gives the feel of a comfortable, homely stay. The cottage has all the utilities one would need to live comfortably. It's really designed for a family of four, however I was on my own so I felt like lord of the manor! I would definitely book this cottage again. There is a pub that serves food just 50yrds away

Lorraine

Very comfortable stay in this well equipped bungalow. We had everything we needed. The views of the mountains from the property are stunning. The village has a pub within walking distance and lots of paths for dog walking. Llanfyllin is a pretty village with a well stocked Spar. Thank you Diolch.

Sophie

What a wonderful place to stay. Perfectly clean, really comfortable beds and sofas and a kitchen that's even better than mine. Some really nice touches like bread and biscuits made it even more perfect. Will definitely be back.

Alison

Beautifully presented and very comfortable. The owner goes the extra mile, providing biscuits, milk etc to help start the stay.

Beautiful cottage and surroundings. Immaculately clean. Very friendly and a lovely welcome box provided Thank you we very much enjoyed our stayp

Brilliant property, had everything and more than you needed. Very clean and tidy great location. Garden is enclosed but not 100 secure for dogs, can easily get out of gaps in fences. But great. Thanks

Thankyou for our lovely stay at your bungalow. .we had a great week .weather included

This is an excellent relaxing cottage. It had everything we needed and more, we felt very at home and really enjoyed our stay. The welcome pack was excellent and really helped us settle in on our first day. The cottage is within easy reach of Lake Vyrnwy, Bala, and the highest waterfall Pistyll Rhaeadr. We even went to the beach at Barmouth. I would definitely look at staying again and would highly recommend.

An outstanding stay! We have thoroughly enjoyed being at the cottage for Christmas. The owners put up a Christmas tree, and everything has been thought of. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay.

We really enjoyed our weeks stay here. Cottage was easy to find from directions provided. The accommodation was really clean and comfortable. Welcome pack was fabulous and exactly what we what we needed, with a few essentials to start us off and other nice treats. Ryan was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Little issue with gas that was quickly and easily sorted by him. Allowed us to arrive a bit earlier than the 4pm advertised. Fine walks from the door, and cottage gave good access to nearby places of interest. Weather was dull but due to the high standard of the accommodation and the peace and quiet of the area, we would definitely recommend and would love to return some time. Secure garden for our Border Collie would be an issue for small dogs who could escape and a lovely variety of birds in and around the garden.

Our stay at Awel Y Berwyn was perfect. The property is clean and well looked after and provisions were supplied on our arrival very thoughtful. Its pet friendly and everything is catered for. This is a perfect destination to completely relax and chill with just a short drive to local amenities. We would definitely stay again.

Renata

We had a wonderful weekend at the cottage! It was very clean, and we appreciated the basket of goods. I highly recommend this place if you want to escape the busy lifestyle.

Malcolm

Nice quiet location. Cottage was clean and tidy. Useful welcome pack . Clear instructions for the cottage and pack of things to do and visit. Would be useful to have a little flexibility for arrival times. Also a lot of emails were received most of which were useful but some contained repetitive information.

Narasimha

We had fantastic stay at Awel Y Berwyn. The house was very clean and we were provided with the lovely basket of coffee, chocolates, milk and bread to start with. Note that there are no shops around , so we shopped next day in Bala town. Have lots of parking and stay was nearly perfect. The only reason for one notch less star is WiFi was very week and our mobile network Vodafone has no signal at all. So we found it bit difficult to plan the things as we cant access internet properly. But the wifi in the accommodation works , but its very weak.

Phillip

Had a great time in this property, its location is outstanding with instant access to mountain and riverside walks. The only small negative is the outside area is not totally secure for small dogs but it would not put me off booking this property in the future.

We had a very comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home. The cottage had everything we needed. The hamper was a nice little touch especially as we didn't get a chance to pop by supermarket to pick up breakfast items. Perfect for anyone with mobility issues as all ground level and shower in bathroom which was perfect for my mum. I highly recommend staying here and would stay here again if visiting North Wales

Stephen

Fantastic property, must say one if not the, cleanest freshly smelling dog friendly cottages we have stayed in. Lovely owners and lovely hamper of essentials left for us on arrival.

Very enjoyable experience the accommodation was very well maintained and clean ideal for walking the dog . The hosts were very welcoming and the complimentary basket was a lovely touch also everything that was needed was available. Would go back again and probably will regards David and Eira

A perfect location and my hosts Lucy and son Ryan were very warm and welcoming. The bungalow was bright, airy and efficiently stocked with everything we needed. It was very comfortable and so my dog and I could really relax. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and hope to return in the Spring.

The friendly owners supplied an exceptional welcome pack in this immaculate property where we & the dogs thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The bungalow was nestled in a peaceful & beautiful location which we would happily visit again.

Luxury bungalow, very spacious and yet very cosy. Lovely place to stay and very quiet and secure.

Thanks for a lovely stay. The property was exactly what we needed, and lovely to have the added extras in the welcome pack they were really useful Beautiful part of the world, we enjoyed the walks along the stream, visit to Bala and the local! Would happily recommend.

Awel y Berwyn is the perfect place to relax. Its position is perfect for appreciation of this beautiful part of Wales. The property is scrupulously clean, well equipped and well maintained. We had a wonderful weeks holiday and will definitely return in the next few years. Thank you all.

Amanda

We are just home after spending 6 nights at Awel y Berwyn. We can not fault this cottage at all, everything that you may need is there. Most importantly the property is spotlessly clean from bedding, towels pots and pans. Nothing is to much trouble for owners Ryan and Lucy and the very generous welcome pack was lovely and a big hit with the children. We will certainly have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family and would return ourselves in the near future.

Frederick

Very spacious with comfy beds, great shower, good location. Old fashioned pub serving food close by. Owners were polite and helpful.
