Bryn Hafod Reviews

This is a wonderful place! The views across the valley are beautiful and the Christmas lights and decorations was a lovely touch. We enjoy cooking and we found the kitchen facilities well equipped. The hot tub was perfect at the end of a day out walking the local trails. Unfortunately, we couldnt work out how to get the sauna warm enough to use. All in all a lovely place for a quiet break.
Jessica
We stayed here over bonfire night with our two dogs who dont like the fireworks and it was perfect. So peaceful and relaxing we didnt hear a thing. Having the hot tub outside with the views we had was amazing, we spent a lot of time outdoors, even in November with the weather because the garden was all enclosed it was great for the dogs. Inside the home was lovely and cosy and had everything we needed. Owner very helpful and friendly, responded quickly to all of my queries! Will definitely return
Elizabeth
We arrived late in the evening to a beautiful sky full of stars and a warm cosy lodge. We woke up to a stunning sunrise and views feeling well rested and relaxed. We had a peaceful break from our every day lives and enjoyed spending quality time with each other, and the dogs who loved watching the sheep! Thanks again, and see you next time!
Steven
The lodge was spotlessly clean and fully equipped. Location perfect for a relaxing weekend, the views from the lodge are stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed the use of the Hot tub and Sauna. Enclosed garden brilliant for the dog.
Absolutely loved every single moment at bryn hafod. Breathtaking views and very well equipped kitchen to cater all tour needs. Brilliant location and also kept in fantastic condition. Cant wait to return!
What an idyllic place to retreat to! We absolutely loved our chilled out week at Bryn Hafod! The views, the hot tub, the accommodation itself all fantastic. We loved the peace, the birds, the sheep, and the dark skies so much so, that we only left twice all week! A retreat and a treat! We highly recommend it if you want to escape the world for a while!
Jessica
Amazing lodge, beautiful location away from everything and just really peaceful and relaxing, really enjoyed our stay and will 100 be staying again. Only negatives we had with the trip which didnt cause much of an issue maybe a bit too much chemical in the hot tub and sauna didnt really warm up so didnt get to experience that too much. Overall still absolutely amazing experience.
Amazing stay would highly recommend
Joseph
Lovely setting, beautiful views. The lodge was thoughtfully designed and had all the comforts we needed. The hot tub and sauna were perfect for unwinding after long days out hiking. The setting was quiet, peaceful and perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The perfect base to explore nearby countryside and escape the usual busyness of life! Highly recommended and we would love to return in the future!
We were looking forward to a nice relaxing break and thats exactly what we got at Bryn Hafod! Situated in a valley with stunning views and only the noise of the trees and the birds singing made it idyllic. Beautifully decorated and fully furnished along with all the mod cons plus a hot tub and sauna! Would fully recommend a stay here if you want to switch off for a few days. Thank you to the owners for making us feel welcome. Looking forward to coming back again
As soon as we arrived at Bryn Hafod, we were very impressed. It is in a lovely, picturesque location. The accommodation was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped. The fully enclosed garden area was perfect for our dog who loved it. It was my 60th birthday whilst we were away and I had decided that I wanted to escape the world for it, and with Bryn Hafod that is exactly what I did! Waking up with the view on my birthday with the sun shining was just perfect and drinking champagne in the hot tub just added to it. It was just so quiet and peaceful that I couldn't have asked for more. We had the most perfect time at Bryn Hafod, going out for walks with our little dog, chilling in the sunshine on the deck with our books and enjoying the hot tub and sauna. We will definitely look at returning in the future.
Hannah

The hot tub and kitchen were perfect to allow for an incredibly relaxing stay and it was so quiet! Couldnt have asked for better the perfect getaway for the first part of our honeymoon. Well definitely be back soon!
Georgia
A lovely stay in a beautiful part of the country. Fully equipped with everything you need. Hosts nothing but helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend booking a visit.
We had the most amazing long weekend at Bryn Hafen Lodge. The setting is peaceful and beautifully secluded the perfect escape from everyday life. The lodge was spotless, cosy and had everything we needed. We spent hours soaking in the hot tub and sauna, surrounded by stunning views and total tranquillity. And what a view to wake up to, open the bifold doors and bring the outside in! The owners were absolutely fantastic so friendly and thoughtful, even bringing us some loungers so we could enjoy the sunshine! They struck the perfect balance between being helpful and respectful of our privacy. It was the ideal place to relax and unwind. Were already planning our return and couldnt recommend it more highly!
Kirstie
Lovely cosy lodge with beautiful views in a great location. The garden is secure, so no worries about leaving the dog out while enjoying the hot tub. The very friendly and helpful hosts were quick to respond to our minor queries. We'll definitely be back in future.
