Briws Reviews

Dorothy
We loved every moment of our holiday, the cottage was beautiful , the surroundings are beautiful. The owners even made our stay better by decorating with a Christmas tree etc. Cannot fault it ,and the hot tub is checked by staff to ensure its safe samples etc . Would recommend people to spend a day at Bala and the train ride at Cowen well worth the money.
Fantastic stay, lovely little cottage. Couldnt find a fault with the accommodation. My only observation was its a shame the shed is placed where it is, as it blocks the lovely view from the jacuzzi. Would definitely stay here again. Great host, was super helpful. We did struggle to light the fire as there was no lighter but we got there in the end with some help off the hob and a skewer. Overall a lovely stay, peaceful, felt very safe, stunning views! Thanks!
Selena
Such a wonderful place we have booked again for next year. Lovely cottage and the boys loved the huge garden. All the pots pans and cutlery you need. Really comfy beds. Love the BBQ and Log fire. Hot tub makes it top class.
Absolutely lovely cottage beautiful surroundings maybe tv in main bedroom
This is the second time we have been to this lovely cottage and we think its perfect, very cosy and homely and in the bad weather the underfloor heating is a bonus! Location is good and scenery. Would definitely recommend
Stephen
Nice clean place. Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic views. Great walks two lakes within ten minutes drive
Nicole
Stunning cottage in a beautiful location, me, my partner, 1 year old and my dog stayed here for a week from 13th20th December. We wanted to sight see quite a lot of Wales so wanted to stay somewhere that wasnt to long of drives to get to each place. You can get to most places if you want to travel Wales in about 45m1h, we also drove to Chester Zoo for my daughters 1st birthday and this was about an hour away. Each drive was a beautiful scenic drive! The cottage was clean and comfy and was even decorated for Christmas! Hot tub was amazing and the garden is huge for our dog that we took! Communication was great, if I ever needed anything, I could just call or text. We will be coming back to your cottage one day, thank you! X
Kirsty
Beautiful cottage x
Wonderful cottage with all the facilities that you could want, the hot tub was lovely after a long day sight seeing. Wifi could be better but I guess that's just down to the area where the cottage is situated. Will be looking to return in the near future.
Graham
Excellent cottage with exceptional views and we all enjoyed our stay the hit tub was excellent
Very relaxing, very clean. Perfect location, friendly host always on hand if needed.
Absolutely loved Briws cottage nice and cozy with a massive back garden for the kids and Bonnie the miniature poodle to play in. The hot tub was great clean and well maintained. This is a great location to visit all parts of Wales. Would definitely recommend visiting we will be back in summer cant wait.
If its possible to move the shed across that would be a big positive, As the view is amazing and the shed does block most of it when in the hot tub. Other than that fantastic place.
Shirra
Cottage was clean & comfortable. The Hot tub was lovely but we think it should have been available to use on our last night as it being out of bounds from 12.30 on the last full day seems a bit excessive. Understand with the location it's perhaps difficult but the TV was disappointing didn't have channel 1 or 3 and ITV hub wouldn't work and all channels seemed to buffer or freeze a lot. Wifi a bit slow but again, perhaps the location doesn't help that. We also think a nice addition would be to have a shelf in the shower. The log basket for the wood burner may be better kept outside as there were a lot of huge spiders. All in all though, a great stay.
Roxanne
This was our second trip to Briws. This is a great base for exploring North Wales. This place is absolutely lovely! I have already booked a return for next year.
Kieran
Lovely cottage, cosy and clean. Fantastic views and wildlife around, made all the more enjoyable by watching from the hot tub!
Jennifer
We had a lovely stay here, the scenery is stunning and the cottage had everything we needed. I did find it a bit disappointing that we're unable to use the hot tub on the final night and wondered if there was anyway to change this? I also feel it's a shame the shed has been put up in front of the hot tub as this blocks the otherwise stunning views from the hot tub. All in all a lovely stay and friendly host.
Lovely cottage with a fabulous hot tub, we had a great week. Located in a beautiful spot. It would have been useful to have more chopping boards and further clothes storage in the main bedroom, the wifi is also a little slow, which is expected given the location. However, overall this is a really great cottage and were planning a return visit!
Lovely cottage, so cute and quirky with everything that you need. The garden and hot tub are beautiful with amazing views. We had rented Granar too and it was nice and easy nipping between the two accommodations.
Joanna
Our stay was nice enough and the location was nice. For the price we paid I'd have expected things like towels etc included, seems a bit tight not to. The bed and sofa aren't overly comfortable and the kitchen table is tricky to get 4 people at. Overall everything was fine but it's little touches it was missing. Plus the WiFi is utterly useless which makes watching TV impossible too.
The cottage was lovely. The views were incredible and the hot tub was a luxury we looked forward to at the end of the day. Would highly recommend this large cottage.
We had an excellent stay at briws the cottage was beautiful, and a lovely quite location , we will definitely be booking a revisit we absolutely loved it ! !
Michael
Absolutely amazing stay, cottage is beautiful, done to a very high standard! Owners are really helpful. Would really recommend this cottage, will definitely be returning.
This is a fantastic property with beautiful views of the Welsh countryside. It's a shame the shed blocks some of the beautiful views but you can live with that! Especially when you are gazing up at the stars instead in the evening! We have stayed here before and it's a fabulous place. Sadly it wasn't quite as clean this time round. The floors could have done with hoovering and mopping we are a shoes off and live in socks or bare feet family, so we really noticed the muck and the bathroom needed a good deep clean. But apart from that, absolutely joyful. You need to change the listing as there is no dvd player for the TV and the Freeview TV channels are hit & miss and all over the place. But it was Christmas week when we stayed so plenty of games to be playing instead and lovely walks to go on. Would absolutely recommend this property to everyone as it's such a lovely place and generally well cared for. We would love to return one day.
Amazing place, so clean and warm and the hot tub was fabulous even in a snow storm. Had difficulty getting out due to snow and ice on drive, but a quick chat with owner and it was sorted, brilliant, would highly recommend this beautiful place, so so much satisfied with everything.
We had a blast of a week exploring North Wales. The good weather was a bonus! The cottage was lovely. Great location, clean and tidy and well equipped. We loved relaxing the hot tub after being out and about during the day. Definitely one of our best holidays to date. We would love to return in the near future. Many thanks
Lovely cottage and hot tub with beautiful views. Owners helpful and responsive to requests. overall a great holiday.
Elaine
Lovely accommodation clean comfortable lovely outdoor area great hot tub owners very professional would stay again
Verity
Had a lovely time. The whole cottage was very clean and comfortable, would stay again.
I don't know where to start, best place we have ever stayed on holiday! There are a number of holiday cottages on site and we were in awe, they are all finished to the highest standard and surrounded by gorgeous, postcardperfect scenery. You are surrounded by wildlife, we saw bats, swallows, the sheep and lambs, cows, and even saw a hare! The cottage was absolutely spotless. It felt spacious yet very cosy. There were even mini football goals in the garden outside, we had so much fun! The location was perfect for exploring all of North wales, its very central, and a scenic drive to get everywhere. I can't recommend highly enough. And the hot tub.....what a bonus! We loved it all, the owners have clearly spent a lot of time and money here and it shows. I was sad leaving, can't wait to come back.
Samuel
Fantastic weeks stay at both Ty Gwyn and Briws. Beautiful accommodation and location, and the weather was fantastic. Hot tubs were a superb addition and these were well maintained, but done so discreetly. Owners were welcoming and extremely accommodating. Great location and look forward to returning.
Stuart
Fantastic cottage with everything you need, superb location and cant wait to visit again
Had a wonderful relaxing week here which for March we could not have had better weather. Underfloor heating meant we never lit the log fire but it would be handy if there was a box of matches. Really enjoyed the hot tub but were not told it was drained and refilled on Thursday so we could not use it on the last night. Really good and will definitely come again.
Gareth
Beautiful cottage with very clean facilities. Only small issues was a lack of a personal touch. In other cottages we had stayed in, there was a local welcome pack like Welsh cake or bread. And also guides or pamphlets of local things to do. Also had trouble with the heating system, seemed to be locked and it got very hot in the evenings, even in Feb. Views were amazing from the hot tub and everything we needed was there. Would stay again.
What a lovely cottage we will definitely be going back . Had everything you could possibly want .perfect
What an absolutely fabulous place ! ! We went for Christmas and were not disappointed! It's absolutely beautiful. The facilities are wonderful, including the hottub! The area is lovely and quiet. We spent some lovely evenings in the hottub under the stars. There is everything you could ever needwant in the cottage. The owners have thought of everything. the only thing missing is a dvd player. We took Christmas movies hoping to watch them over the week but the TV doesn't have a dvd player. Not a big problem....there were so many other things to be doing!! Beautiful, huge garden for the kids to play in. Very close to Bala and Betws y coed.....perfect for days out. We would 100 recommend this cottage and the owners and Sykes to anyone! We are already wondering when we can return! Happy customers. Thank you
Stephanie
Highly recommended anyone to stay here so relaxing and quite
Hi, Please feedback to the cottages owners that the place was beautiful, with great views and a great hot tub. The only slight thing to let it down was very dirty crockery and stuck on food in the pans, which we had to clean thoroughly before using. We believe it because the dishwasher as that was filthy inside too.
Great holiday. Houses are lovely. Hosts are nearby jd anything needed and incredibly friendly. Only thing Id say is the pictures dont do the place justice it really is fab!
