Views over Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the Welsh Highland Railway | Bron-Eifion

Lovely cozy cottage in the most stunning surroundings. A wonderful place for a restful break away. We can’t wait to go back.

We had the most wonderful stay at the cottage. Its positioning at the foot of Snowdon is unmatched by any other place we have stayed in before. We enjoyed the breathtaking views each time we looked out the window and when sitting in the garden eating breakfast. The cottage is beautifully furnished and is very practical. We found all the cooking equipment we needed for preparing our meals. The beds were comfy and the whole place was very clean. We were greeted with a complementary basket of goodies on arrival – thank you! The holiday company looking after the property were great at communication throughout our stay and provided us with a link to what to do in the area. We had a wonderful rest enjoying God’s creation and having a wonderful place to stay in

Bron Eifion is a beautiful, well equipped cottage in a stunning location. It was the perfect base to explore North Wales, and of course to climb Snowdon. We followed the owner’s recommendation and took the Snowdon Ranger’s Path, which gave the most fantastic views.

We had a fabulous stay at this gorgeous property. The house is lovely with everything you could need, definitely a home from home. The view from the house is beautiful and in a great location for walking and for going off and visiting other areas. We would definitely recommend a visit and will hopefully be back in the future.

A real home from home cottage, we stayed in July during the heatwave and it was perfect! Remained cool whilst it was boiling outside!! It was an extremely dog/child friendly and the beds were amazingly comfy for a holiday cottage! It was in a great central location for mountain walking, zip world and beach trips to Anglesey! I don’t think you could beat the view whilst sitting on the bench at the front of the house, which overlooks Snowdon – idyllic!!

We had a fantastic week at Bron Eifion! It’s such a gorgeous house, really nicely decorated, plus we loved the garden and the immediate access into the woods which was great for dog walks. Other things we liked would be the hot, powerful shower, the comfortable beds, and the baby-friendly touches (high-chair, travel cot, cutlery). Also the views were lovely, and the next door neighbours very friendly. Would definitely return if in the area again.

The most amazing few days away in the most beautiful cottage. Perfect location, the interior was just lovely, the hosts have really looked after this cottage and it shows. Cute little welcome basket on arrival and views that we would never get bored of. We are already looking at dates to come back!

We have stayed at Bron Eifion many times over the years, it never disappoints, uninterrupted views of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) can be viewed from the bench in front of the house, it is well equipped and a thoughtful welcome pack is always there to greet you , the bedrooms are tastefully furnished with lovely soft furnishings and lovely white towels provided , the tv takes a bit of getting used to the remote control and has Netflix , the mobile reception is poor but this is common in North Wales , wifi is provided so mobiles can be used whilst in the cottage and sitting outside , there is a pub about 200 yards from the door for those who like to go out for a meal or drink or both, can’t wait for our next visit

Everything was great, apart from the lack of hot water, after a day of miles of walking a nice hit soak was needed, but unfortunately the house had a timer on the hot water system and I was unable to over ride it. So we had to use the electric shower with low pressure. I completely understand that the home owner would like to save on the bills etc but every single electric radiator was on which would be more expensive to run which I’m didn’t get.

But location and other facilities were great

Lovely homely and comfortable cottage in an absolutely stunning location with a good pub just down the road. What more could you ask for! We stayed for a week with great weather and didn’t have enough time to do all we wanted. The views from the porch and deck were incredible, could just sit and look for hours! Also, don’t worry about parking on the road.

We had a fabulous 3 days at Bron Eifion; with spectacular views and peaceful walks right from the front door, it was an ideal location no matter the weather.
The property was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the front bench in the evening to watch Snowdon disappear into the clouds. Our 5 year old loved the woods at the back and watching the steam train pass each day.
Thank you for a well needed rest!

We stayed at Bron Efion for 4 nights. It was a lovely clean cottage with magnificent views over Snowdon. It was ideal base for us as we visited a view places nearby during our time there. We would also highly recommend the Ty Mawr tea rooms in the village, amazing pancakes 🥞
Would definitely consider booking again

Diolch yn fawr Bron Eifion.

Lleoliad delfrydol ar droed y Wyddfa. Pentref tawel. Golygfeydd bendigedig o’r tŷ. Digon o lwybrau cerdded o fewn tafliad carreg o’r drws.

Tŷ glan a chyfforddus iawn.

Piti bod rhaid parcio ar y lôn, ac yn anffodus roedd nyth gwenyn a dan y bwrdd a chadeiriau wrth ochr y tŷ.

Ond, yn sicr buaswn yn argymell arhosiad yma i unrhyw un. Gwyliau gwych. Diolch.

This beautiful cottage is in an ideal location for walking and visiting local places of interest. We stayed for 3 nights, slept well in the comfortable bed and wouldn’t tire of the view. There is a bench in the front garden, perfect for starting and ending the day in the peace and fresh air. You do need to park on the road but as a previous reviewer states, do not let this put you off.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Bron-Eifion! The owners are very friendly and hospitable and made us feel extremely welcome. The cottage is beautifully furnished and cosy and we just could not get enough of the views of Snowdon from the bench at the front of the cottage. What a delight it was to be able to walk up Snowdon and do many other lovely walks from the doorstep. It was also great to have both the pub and the tearoom just a few metres down the road where everyone was very welcoming. We will definitely be back for a second stay!

Just back from one of my best holidays ever at the foot of Snowdon. Bron Eifion was the perfect base for our busy and exercise filled week (went up Snowdon twice!! ) and we slept like babies every night in the very comfy double bed. Don’t be put off by the on-street parking – it’s absolutely worth it. Great local pub, just wonderful views and such friendly people (& sheep!!). Planning to return!!

What a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Pub next door & Snowdon on the doorstep! The cottage was also sparklingly clean!

Very comfortable cottage on the quiet side of Snowdon.
House must have one of the best views of any holiday cottage and watching the view change with the weather from the bench in front was a constant pleasure. We loved being away from the crowds who even on hot sunny summer Sunday don’t seem to know about the stunning west side of Snowdon. Great walks from the door. Only downside is on street parking….but that was minor. Owners could not have been more helpful.

A great stay in a wonderfully positioned house.

We had the best stay at Bron Eifion. The house is lovely with all the essentials and welcoming added touches. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. The pub just along the road offers great food and drinks. We walked the Rhyd Ddu path up Snowdon which starts just along the road from the house. We will definitely look to come back. Thank you for your hospitality.

‘Bron-Eifion’ we loved you. From the moment we stepped on to the verandah and through your front door with a glance back across to the foothills of Snowden we were smitten.

Once inside you welcomed us by the thoughtfullness of your gift of a hamper- the nicest yet of any we have found on arrivals elsewhere, so well thought out with something for all and each of us – thank you.

Your interiors are furnished beautifully with much thought, care and taste, a delight to be in.
Your gardens lead us to lovely walks, from the back in to Rhdd-Ddu’s forest which my dog Talitha loved and onwards to lakes and adventures. Your front leading us out to mesmerising mountains, lakes, forests, castles, coastlines, dolphins (Llyn peninsula) and so much more, much still to be and hoped to be explored!

Your verandah gives a place for quiet contemplation in the beauty of the surroundings only occasionally interrupted, and charmingly so, by the whistle of and heralding of the impending arrival of the Welsh Highland steam railway passing by in the foothills opposite – a true delight to hear and watch.

Your shower invigorating after a night undisturbed from the comfiest of beds and linen. Your bath soothing tired muscles after memorable hours spent walking, talking and exploring, leading to new memories: My grown son, a seasoned walker, making his much anticipated and eagerly awaited first summit of Snowdon – up the Rhyd-Ddu path and back down in just shy of three and three quarter hours as
the birds broke their dawn chorus and whilst the rest of us still slumbered unaware of the magnificent beauty he was gazing out over, the challenge he was taking on and conquering and the like-minded early a.m souls he was meeting and greeting. So proud of him!

Your lovely owners Jane and John both obviously talented, thoughtful and considerate kindly offering, if we wished, the use of their farm land for us to explore and enjoy in our own ways. Offering information and advice if we needed it and interesting conversation some of which regarding John’s hydro-electric power which my husband enjoyed hearing about. Jane clearly having the wonderful eye for decorating, furnishing and detail and the ‘touches’ that make the difference.

Your pubs, restaurants and cafes ( mentioned by previous guests) that kept us happily well fed and watered (!) Cwellyn Arms! with a welcome from friendly staff.

All in all you have given us new memories to take away and be able to look back on with the hope of adding further to and brought back old memories, memories of my much loved late father who was Welsh and who had lived near by with my mother many many years ago, and who at that time had been a custodian of nearby Caernarfon Castle – all memories to cherish. Thank you Bron-Eifion, Jane, John and Dioni.

Rowena, Matt & John

A great week in Snowdonia in this fantastic cottage. Wonderful location at the foot of Snowdon. Great views and walks from the doorstep. Pub and Tea Room recommeded. We really didn’t want to leave and were lucky enough to be able to stay an extra night and have a relaxing sunny day at the beach.

We had the best weather for the end of March. We were even able to sit on the bench outside the cottage and eat breakfast and watch the sheep in the distance. The views are amazing. The cottage is clean and well equipped. We highly recommend the pub, which served lovely meals, which is stumbling distance from the cottage. We were sad to leave

Just returned from a great holiday in north wales. The cottage was truly fantastic. decorated and equipped to a high standard with great attention to detail . everything we needed was provided. It is clear that the owners put a great deal of pride into there business. Spotlessly clean, and so cosy .The best holiday let we have had in many years of travel. Thankyou

Fabulous location and a very comfortable house. The Cwellyn Arms Inn is just a few steps away for good food and brew and has a friendly staff. The Sherpa bus goes right by the door and you can get on the steam train in the village. The trail from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert is not to be missed. Wonderful mountain views from the windows and beautiful yard. Hike to the summits of Snowden Peak, Yr Aran and Crag Cwm Silyn from the front door. Bron Eifion has it all.

Great 3 nights short break a very comfy well furnished cottage with fabulous views over Snowdon. Fabulous Walks from the door and a good pub and tearoom just a 2 minute walk . Would recommend !!!!

We have just spent a wonderful Christmas at Bron Eifion with our 13 year old son and can’t thank Dioni enough.
Set within an idyllic landscape with views over a snow-capped Snowdon and the Highland Steam Railway from the porch of the cottage added to the charm.

The cozy little pub just a short walk from the front door proved a great relaxant after a hike to the summit and we were treated to a super Christmas Day lunch at The Saracens Head in nearby Beddgelert.

Another little Gem is the Big Rock Cafe in Porthmadog – such good food and great value.

The cottage itself was wonderfully maintained, warm and with everything you could wish for on a short stay with a beautiful mix of Victorian features and lovely decor. We set up our own Christmas tree and lights which added to the festive feel.

As a tip, if you are planning on walking to the Snowdon summit, there are 3 fantastic wall prints on the landing upstairs showing the 3 main routes which, (along with the various leaflets and guides) proved really useful.

We can’t return quick enough.

Just returned from a weeks break at Bron Eifion. Very well equipped cottage, warm and cosy. View of Snowdon spectacular. Nice pub with good food

What an amazing location. Only 3 nights but it was stunning and we had a really great short break. The cottage is lovely and very well equipped. Snowdonia offers so many different things to do, and we didn’t have anywhere near enough time! We will back.

A little piece of heaven! Spent 3 days in Bron Eifion, a perfect location for exploring. The cottage was cosy, comfortable, well decorated and well equipped. The view is incredibly beautiful from the front of the house and you can clearly see the cafe and train station on the summit of snowdon. Lots to do and see locally, as well as good places to eat and drink.Lovely welcome pack and owners who have a farm nearby very friendly.Highly Recommended

Lovely stay…Cottage very comfortable, great bed and quality bedding.Great welcome pack and owners visit much appreciated. Views to die for. Will return.

A lovely cottage with stunning views overlooking Snowdon and the Welsh Highland Railway. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedrooms with a secure rear garden (a bouncy dog could get over the fences but there is no way through). It is on a main road, but there is so little traffic it wasn’t even noticed, and the front garden and gate are secure so there is no issue. Good pub 100yds, steam railway station 2 minutes with trains to Caernarvon and Porthmadog, plenty to do within 10 miles drive, and the Rhyd Ddu footpath up Snowdon starts by the station and was completed in 5 hrs (allow 6-7hrs). Lovely welcome pack and friendly, helpful owners who popped in on the Sunday to check all ok. Will hopefully be back next year.

We had a lovely time at the cottage.
The welcome hamper was a great touch. Thank you.
The cottage was spotlessly clean, lovely linen and had absolutely everything we needed.
The location was ideal ..,just at the start for our climb up to snowdonia.
Our host was very prompt in replying to our queries.
Thank you for a lovely stay and would highly recommend it.

My family and I loved our stay in this quaint little cottage overlooking the Snowdon mountain range.

There were some lovely touches right from the start of our visit – the welcome pack (cider, fruit cake and chocolate Easter bunnies) – John dropped by to visit us in the cottage and provided lots of advice about what to do with our children (all very helpful).

One of the days was ‘soggy’ from the outset ,and, on making contact with Jane, she very kindly provided us with advice about what to do. Following her suggestion, we took the kids to Greenwood Adventure Centre and we weren’t disappointed; my kids had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. Thanks Jane – much appreciated!

The cottage is well situated to visit places of interest nearby and particular highlights for us were Portmeirion, Menai Bridge and Strait, Anglesey, Caernarfon and the Welsh Highland Railway journey which my ‘train-mad’ boys thought was awesome! All in all, we have fallen in love with the area and will be back in future to explore further!

Had a lovely long weekend at Bron Eifion from 10th to 13th February. Was quite cold, so the log burner saw a lot of use, but was warm enough in the evenings. Lovely area, will visit again and the cottage seems a great base to explore from.

A wonderful 3 night break between Christmas and New Year. The cottage was lovely and welcoming and in a fabulous location. The views from the front were breathtaking and you could see Snowdon through the window while you were eating breakfast – perfect! It was a bonus being able to bring our dog along too as a walk without the dog just doesn’t seem right. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was well equipped, my only comment would be to install a more powerful shower as it took ages to rinse your hair and with all 5 of us all wanting showers we did run out of hot water occasionally. We met up with family members who were staying in nearby Beddgelert and had a lovely meal in the Saracen’s Head and also would recommend brunch at Hebog. My husband and brother conquered Snowdon on an unseasonably sunny day and lots of lovely walks were had by all. Stunning scenery all around, we enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely come back.

Bron Eifon was perfect for a New Year’s week away. Very comfy and well equipped and a superb location. The nearby pub does great food too. We mostly cooked for ourselves though; if the worst you can say is that it could do with a bigger frying pan then it’s pretty good!

After a long trip from Hampshire we were so happy when we walked into this lovely,immaculate and warm cottage. It combines lots of character with every up-to-date amenity you could ask for and is so tastefully decorated.The views are absolutely stunning and there is superb walking from the front door.The lovely friendly owner dropped by on the first evening to check that all was well and gave us tips on the surrounding area, and there is comprehensive information, walking books etc provided.We were lucky with the weather and managed lots of lovely walking with our collie dog who enjoyed it as much as we did. We went to the top of Snowdon via the Ranger Path, walked the round trip to Beddgellert and back, fuelled by a delicious cream tea en-route, as well as local walks, and it was such a pleasure to return to Bron Eifion after each outing. Thanks to Jane and John for a wonderful holiday and for the lovely ‘extras’ provided. Would recommend to anyone who loves peace and quiet and nature.

We had a fantastic stay at Bron Eifion, beautiful cottage with gorgeous surroundings. The only thing that might be worth adding to the welcome pack (which was extremely informative) is a mention about the steps leading to the cottage which I found to my detriment get extremely slippery when wet!! Otherwise a great holiday was had by us all and we look forward to booking again in the future.

Had a delightful 2 weeks at Bron Eifion , fabulous cottage with outstanding views of Yr Wyddfa and Yr Aran ,walks straight from the door , village pub with fabulous food and great Ales just a 2 minute walk away , definitely will return .

We had a very relaxing time at Bron Eifion, despite some wifi issues, which did not detract from a wonderful 7 days holiday. The cottage is a home from home, with Snowden literally across the road. The cottage is equidistant from Caernarfon and Porthmadog, where there are major supermarkets for provisions, so make sure you stock up before you arrive, as you cannot simply pop out for a pint of milk or a loaf of bread ! Rhyd Ddu is a tiny hamlet, with a pub and a tea rooms, and therefore may not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you are looking for entertainment. Most people, like us, simply enjoy the beautiful scenery and the country walks nearby. As a peaceful retreat from the modern world, Bron Eifion is ideal. We would go back in an instant.

We returned one year later for our second visit and was pleased to find the cottage still clean and comfortable as before. The logs for the fire really made it so cosy. The weather was unbelievable for November 23 degrees, which was wonderful for walking up the mountains etc. The only down side was nothing to do with the cottage it was the prices charged in the local pub. The amount of food served for the price left a lot to be desired! The drinks where expensive too. We hope to return again one day, lets hope the pub prices havnt increased.

Absolutely loved this cottage! We went up the end of May and we had lovely weather the cottage was very clean well equipped. Very well heated and the beds were very comfortable. I had a better night sleep than I do in my own bed. The view is stunning especially seeing the train go past was very nice. Plenty of places to walk. The area in which the cottage is based is very nice I highly recommend the tea room as their breakfast and pancakes are the best we’ve ever had and would recommend the bacon pancakes and pofferdjes which are tiny pancakes with butter and icing sugar. The pub which is just down the road is very nice a bit pricy but they serve very nice quality food, or there is a nice pub which is a lot cheaper and bigger portion sizes also voted pub of the year, about 10 minutes in the car if you head towards Caernarfon, on the right hand side. We also had the pleasure of climbing snowdon on the Rhyd ddu path. After experiencing this for the first time I would like to point out that this path was very difficult and potentially dangerous if you underestimate it as we did. As you get closer to the top there are a lot of knife edges and paths becomes very narrow and you are very close to the edge not suitable for people who are scared of heights or people with children. we took our dogs with us and when getting to the top we were very disappointed and annoyed that the train does not allow dogs. As we found this path very demanding I was unable to climb back down the mountain on the Rhyd ddu path, so we decided to take the miners path down the mountain which leads back down into pen y pass. We did not know where the miners path would take us to pen y pass but we were just very happy to get down the mountain safely even if we did end up 13 miles away from the cottage and had to pay £50 for a taxi back to the cottage. I would also like to mention that our phones did not have any service, so if you are going to go out make sure to take enough money with you to use pay phones and contact numbers incase you need to use them as we did. I would highly recommend this cottage and would defiantly go back.

A beautiful cottage, views could not be better, every comfort. The welcome from the owners was lovely, and the bottle of cider and the fruit cake were unexpected. We really want to come back again, but it will have to be in warmer times. As an older couple we didn’t go out so much, we came up for a break and a rest, we found it very cold at times, even lighting the log fire we still had to cover up with blankets. We will be back!

I wonder if this is possible. We stayed in Bron- Eifion last may and my wife and I commented how comfortable the double bed was in the front bedroom. WE are about to buy a new bed and cannot remember the make of the mattress. I know there is a phone in the house and I wondered if we could contact either the house itself or find out through the owner. I know it said firm on the label but cannot remember the make and model. If this is not possible I completely understand. Thanking you.

We both enjoyed our holiday despite the weather. It didnt stop us doing anything though, we walked many miles including to Snowdon summit where it snowed for the first time this winter. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable just whats needed after a hard days walking. One day we walked into Beddgellet and it rained so hard we caught the bus back which was a bonus. It was nice to meet you. Hope to return.

This is the perfect cottage for treks into the snowdonian mountains. Steam train, tea rooms, pub and bus all within 100 yards. Can’t be much better. There is wifi and you can use the land line as in the mountains you will not get any reception (unless you climb up to the top of the mountains).
Everything is ready when you arrive and heating already switched on. We found lovely local cider and fruit cake on arrival.
Just in case you care about it, the owners produce their own solar and hydroelectric power. (But you still have power in the night during a draught, even so this seems extremely unlikely combination…)

I wish we could go back tomorrow!

Thoroughly enjoyed our week. The cottage is warm, comfortable with very comfy beds, nicely decorated, and very easy to be in. The uninterrupted view of Snowdon is fab and it’s great having wonderful walks literally on the doorstep.

We spent one day walking to the Snowdon summit – left about 9.30am and got back to the cottage at 5.30pm. We took the Rhyd Ddu path opposite the cottage (quite a climb, especially the ridge near the summit, spent an hour or so at the top, and came back via the gentler Snowdon Ranger path, with a stop for drink and rest on the way up and on the way back. We took field paths back to the cottage from the end of the Ranger path rather than walk along the road. A great day’s walking.

We would highly recommend the cottage; it’s very clean and tidy and the owners are most welcoming. Just a couple of comments, though – we were 4 adults (2 young and tall) and would have appreciated a little more comfy seating than the 2 2-seater sofas. Maybe an armchair? especially as the cottage sleeps 5. This is not a criticism, just that it would have been perfection!

Also, we were rather surprised to find a main A road right outside the gate, thinking we were booking a rural idyll. However, we do live in a traffic free area, so others might not be so picky! And to be fair, it’s not a hugely busy road and we soon got used to it. It didn’t put me off sitting out on the bench every morning and evening with a cuppa! Just thought we’d flag it up as nobody else mentioned it in their reviews.

All in all, it’s a cottage we would definitely return too. Many thanks for making our stay so comfortable.

We’ve just had the most fantastic week at Bron Eifion cottage. The house itself is lovely and comfy and it was wonderful to watch the sun rise over Snowdon each morning – either from our bed or sitting on the bench outside. We were so blessed with the weather – the sun shone every day but one. We reached 3 summits – Snowdon (via the Rhydd Ddu path upwards and the Ranger’s Path downwards), Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach – the views were breathtaking! We also walked the path to Beddgelert – via a detour up the mountains and through the forest – absolutely amazing. This was my first time in Snowdoina and I’m hooked – we’ll definitely be back to Bron Eifion, to do more exploring and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Having stayed at Bron Eifron over Christmas 2013 we decided to return in August for a taste of Snowdonia in the summer! We found the cottage warm and inviting, with little ‘extra touches’ such as the welcome basket containing cake and cider! Yum! The whole family enjoyed exploring the local area, especially the trek up Snowdon, the footpath to Beddgelert and the Welsh Highland Railway which are conveniently on the doorstep.
We also took part in some new, exciting activities… Zipworld and Bounce Below… expensive, but we thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and haven’t laughed so much in years!
The cottage provided everything you could possibly need and more. The amazing views of the mountains are captivating and we just loved sitting on the bench in the front garden, just taking it all in… while the kids reveled in shouting “TRAIN!!” every time the steam train appeared!
We’ll be back… again!

A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. The beds were very comfortable and all the facilities catered for. The only thing I would mention is, as there were 5 adults, there was only seating for 4 in the lounge, could have done with an extra easy chair in the lounge, also could have had a bigger freezer as the small freezer compartment was iced up, and struggled to store food for the week. Enjoyed our week’s stay though,

A lovely cottage in a stunning location very well presented and comfortable. Most of our days were spent in the great outdoors exploring the stunning scenery of Snowdonia. We cycled , walked, abseiled and on the last day went to to the top of Snowdon! The owners made us feel very welcome the homemade cake and cider were a lovely treat! A beautiful area to relax and enjoy – even on the couple rainy days we enjoyed relaxing and admiring the scenery, especially the train which could be heard approaching and viewed trundling up the hillside and into the distance. I would recommend Bron Eifion to anyone wanting to enjoy the great outdoors! Loads of things to see and do – many of which we did not fit into our action packed week but hope to do so so when we pay another visit.

We had a wonderful time once again in your lovely Cottage. It was good to meet the both of you and thank you for making us so welcome. The weather was good and we really enjoyed the Pub (again).

A lovely house in a great location. It’s very spacious for the number of bedrooms, very warm and well-heated (even without the wood-burner), with every piece of equipment you’d need. Our eldest (four year old) daughter was very impressed by the big sheep soft toy – ‘the owners had thought of children’ she said. The owners live on a farm half a mile away, so are easy to contact if there’s a problem. We were made to feel very welcome. We’ll be back.

Just spent a wonderful 5 nights at the cottage . Everything is catered for , the cottage is very comfortable and warm . Loads of things to do from stunning walks to wonderful beaches close by . The local pub serves good food , but if you don’t want to cook breakfast then stroll down to the small local cafe . Full breakfast with Dutch coffee will set you up for the day . Many thanks to John and his wife for providing such a lovely cottage . We will definitely be back ..

We stayed over New Years and what a stunning location and fantastic cottage, cottage is well decorated and we needed for nothing the owners were very pleasant and helpful, Rhyd Ddu path is right outside cottage and a great walk to snowdon summit was had, we Will be coming back to this cottage soon as it really is a gem in the foothills of snowdonia.

We stayed at Bron Eifion over the October half term and have to say that the cottage is utterly utterly charming. Very well presented and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen, logs and cosy bedrooms. A wonderful warm and inviting house in an idyllic setting. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and will hopefully be back again.

Bron Eifion is a lovely cottage. It is like a home from home, really cozy warm and the welcome basket of cider and cake was a perfect beginning to a lovely stay. Plenty big enough for the 4 of us with a spare room too when needed. Lovely decor and such comfy beds. The view is awesome so that even when the fog is down or the rain is out there is so much wonderful scenery to while away the hours with. The bench in the front garden stays covered pretty much all the time so its great to sit out and look over Snowdon. The rear garden gate to the Rhyd Ddu forest is brilliant and the forest walk up the ‘elephant’ hill and down through the forest again is fantastic.

There is easy access to both the Snowdon Ranger path up to the summit and via the Rhyd Ddu path- although the latter is pretty boggy so be aware it is probably best to come down that way. Snowdon kept on winking at us through the week, fog- clear- fog- clear, but we managed to get to the summit on the last main day. There is also a lovely paved walk from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert that goes around the back of the lake and through Beddgelert forest, just ake sure you stay on the main gritted path and don’t take the left turning after the first bridge that ends up at a small house in the forest where there is no path- if you do, go back, and continue up the hill past the train track and a little into the forest and you’ll see the sign posting again eventually (this goes over the train line and past a house on the left).

The local cafe is very reasonable and has some nice home cooked style food. Crafts and earthy decor and nice people. The pub welcomes dogs which is great but is quite pricey for meals although the quality was good and the deserts in particular are yummy, ale was over £3 a pint.

The landlord was a lovely guy who came to make sure all was ok and give some great walking and day out ideas.

Only request to make are maybe some egg cups for boiled egg and soldiers and a slightly later leaving time would be perfect, as then it would be possible to enjoy the final morning without an early morning exit.
We didn’t want to leave and hope to manage it back another time!

Lovely holiday cottage, fantastic views. Our party of five (three generations) found things to suit everyone. Little Theo just loved watching the steam train from his bedroom window, and enjoyed walks by the river, as well as the sheep grazing all over the hills. His parents climbed to the top of Snowdon and managed a few other long walks, while his grandparents favoured the train…
We recommend Newborough beach on Swansea for a great day out. Would definitely come back if we lived in Britain.

Just had a great May half term break, agree with all the comments above, very comfortable, beautifully decorated and nice to be able to bring a dog as well. Loads of walks from the door, 2 of the party made it up Snowdon for the first time, one 7 and the other 70! Local pub serves great food and allows dogs in, steam railway a hit with the kids and the river walk from Beddgelert was lovely. A lack of kids crockery and cutlery was the only downside but other touches made up for it, like washing powder supplied, maps and route books, DVDs and books, and a bench outside to watch the world go by. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautifully furnished and comfy property, great location, great pub 100 yds away. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again – hopefully for a bit longer next time!

Lovely Cottage in a good location. Well maintained and very comfortable beds. The village pub serves wonderful food, you couldn’t ask for more. We will definitely come again.

What a charming little holiday cottage! Beautifully presented, warm and cosy, with spectacular views up towards Mount Snowdon. We enjoyed a fantastic long weekend at Bron Eifion and really couldn’t fault any aspect of this lovely property. Modern and well equiped, yet full of character and country charm with elegant decoration and thoughfull attention to detail. We would definately recommend to all and we will definately be visiting again soon!

We have just had a lovely week at this cottage. The location is perfect for lots of walking and relaxing. The cottage is perfect, the best self catering cottage we have stayed in. A real bonus was that we could take our dog too. All in all this was a perfect holiday for us and we would highly recommend it. We will be re-booking for another visit.

This cottage is beautiful, a real home from home. Very well equipped right down to all the little finishing touches. The views of Snowdon are stunning and right outside your door 🙂 We would highly recommend this property, in fact we want to go back there as soon as possible, if it was possible we’d be there every weekend!!!

We had a lovely long weekend break at Bron Eifion. The cottage was cosy, beautifully decorated and well equipped. It was a very relaxing place to stay and lovely to be able to take our dog, too. The location was ideal, with Snowdon on the doorstep and easy access to the coast. All in all, a beautiful place and highly recommended.

Just had a great 6 days in October at Bron Eifion, the location of the cottage is fantastic, mornings were spent sitting on the bench on the porch (in the sun !!), overlooking Snowdon summit. We found the cottage really homely, and very toasty. Days out were varied but you can easily reach the coast or shops within 30mins in all directions. The kids have already asked if we can come back for Christmas… enough said !!
