Great stay thank you! Lovely house. Location is amazing. Just beware walk to coastal path no longer possible (crossing over a water-filled ditched has collapsed).

Couldn’t recommend more!
Stayed for a long weekend with a group of 8 friends - pretty unanimous verdict that this was the nicest cottage/house any of us had stayed in for this kind of trip. It was completely spotless, beautifully decorated, amazing views, and so spacious even for a group of 8 adults (it has a second living room we didn’t even venture into, but would be great for separating out adults and kids for a family group). The house was really well located for loads of great walking (mountains and hills but also the coastal path) as well as being close to some big supermarkets and pubs/shops in town. Genuinely can’t speak highly enough of Bron Y Gadair, we’ll definitely be back.
