Bryn Hafod Reviews

Fabulous place. Clean, well equipped with lots of thoughtful details. Easy to relax as the enclosed garden means dogs dont need to be monitored constantly every time they go out. Radnor Forrest is beautiful and a perfect place for dog walks.

Absolutely perfect. Peaceful, comfortable and idyllic location. We genuinely didn't want to leave.

Just so wonderful. So quiet could even hear the sheep chomping grass. Looking forward to booking again.

Daniel

Excellent peaceful stay very private and great Facilities with the hot tub and sauna being perfect for relaxation. . wonderful views and fully enclosed garden area for the dogs.

What an amazing stay! I stayed here for 4 nights at the start of March and had the best time, me and my furbabies throughly enjoyed it. The place was beautiful, the hot tub was amazing and the kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a holiday let, it literally had everything you need and more! Im so happy I have found this place i have already booked to come back! 5 stars would 100 recommend to everyone!

Lovely lodge with great views. Wonderful to sit in the hot tub and listen to woodpeckers in the trees and watch red kites flying around! Very secure for dogs and super clean and well equipped.

Anthony

This was an amazing weekend escape. extremely well located and maintained with all the ingredients of a perfect relaxing bolt hole

Melissa

Absolutely beautiful lodge, the place was spotlessly clean, had all the amenities you could ask for too! The sauna and hot tub were an added bonus. Waking up and watching the sheep in the field below and listening to the birds was so peaceful. Cannot wait to stay again!

Beautiful cabin with a lovely enclosed garden for the dog! Even the parts that looked like the dog could get through had been secured which gave great piece of mind! Very relaxing despite the wind!

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

We stayed last July but had to check out early as we experienced a couple of issues. We were invited back for 2 nights free of charge which was very generous, I doubt a lot of other property owners would do the same. We returned on April 26th for 2 nights. The property itself is lovely, very nicely decorated and everything you need, a lot of thought has gone into the little details. The scenery is beautiful, we were lucky enough to have some nice weather and we took full advantage of relaxing for 2 days, mainly in the hot tub! We look forward to going back again, we probably wouldnt choose the peak of summer as you do get a lot of flies and wasps, which is understandable for where it is, unfortunately I am one of those people that hugely overreacts with wasps and bees and I make the situation worse, going when we did was perfect and we are already thinking about when to come back, thank you, Laura & Chris.

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

We had a great stay at Bryn Hafod the accommodation was to a high standard with amazing views. We would definitely stay here again.

Bryn Hafod was fantastic! So nice to stay at a place that was truly dog friendly with properly secured fences. 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.
