Cefnbron Reviews

Gabrielle
The only negative is the hot tub didnt really warm up, there was 7 of us in there but couldnt seem to get it at a normal hot tub temperature. Other than that great stay, the house is lovely
Patricia
Roads leading up to the cottage, not very good ! Full of big holes, one of the cars was damaged underneath, not ver good sign posted. Cottage was lovely, with everything you needed very spacious and homely. The owners was very good when we asked for dry wood for fire and fixing the hot tub for us had it up and running in a hour , owner came back with Prosecco and chocolates to say sorry for the hot tub . Very kind of her . The only downside was it could have done with a bit of cleaning in the cottage. It never spoiled our weekend we really enjoyed it all !
Cefnbron is an amazing cottage! Lovely and remote, amazing views when it's not cloudy! and had everything we needed. We visit North Wales every year and this cottage was perfectly located for all our usual spots Trefor, Nefyn, Pwhelli, Porthmadog, Hells Mouth Beach, Garnfadryn, Whistling Sands. The track through the farm is a little bumpy so take it slow!
It was a great place, and a good base for our group. There was plenty of room even with 7 adults, 1 child and two dogs. The dogs enjoyed the garden. And there was a good walk from the property for their morning exercise. We have already booked again for next year.
Amanda
Owen was very polite and helpful. Property is beautiful. Beds were very comfortable never slept so well at a holiday home. Loved the peace and quiet although the track to the property was a little longer and bumpier than expected. Great hot tub and comfortable sofas in the two sitting rooms. We really enjoyed our stay thank you
We had a wonderful stay at Cefnbron. We had a few minor issues that the owners rectified in great time. The weather was fabulous and the views spectacular, weve had an amazing stay in north wales
Catherine Ann
Cefnbron is in a stunning location with superb views towards the sea and mountains. The access road is single track and bit bumpy in places but that is part of the charm of a truly rural property. There is ample parking for four cars. The cottage is spacious with comfortable beds, a choice of bathrooms with baths and showers, two living rooms, three televisions and a very roomy and wellequipped kitchendining room. There is a washing machinetumble drier and a washing line. Outdoors, the hot tub is positioned to take in the very best of these views and there is a plenty of outdoor seating and a picnic table. You can hear nothing but the breeze and birdsong. Magical! The owners' farmhouse is out of sight but quite close by and they were very quick to answer a couple of queries. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area. We loved atmospheric Aberdaron, looking out at Bardsey Island from the tip of the Llyn Peninsula, climbing on to the cliffs at Llanbedrog to gasp at the panoramic views, admiring the yachts in trendy Abersoch, photographing the sea stacks on Trefor's cliff top walk, wandering around pretty Beddgelert with an ice cream, driving across the Llanberis pass and admiring the mountain views and spending a day at beautiful Bodnant Gardens. A week is never enough! We can't fault Cefnbron and would love to come back.
Lovely comfortable farmhouse with hot tub approx 1. 5 miles up farm road. Spectacular views in every direction. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of bathrooms. We had a problem with the heating in the sunroom which Owen rectified immediately The cottage could benefit from a deep clean and some simple maintenance however, bedding, towels and general cleanliness was good. The door between the sun room and kitchen needs attention. I would not hesitate to recommend this house, and thoroughly enjoyed our week relaxing at the farmhouse and exploring the Llyn peninsula.
Melanie
The cottage was absolutely amazing very helpful owner . Surrounding views and countryside beautiful.definitely recommend a trip to Harlech,Aber falls,Conwy,caenerfan,anglesey and the light house there
Another lovely stay We will be back again such a beautiful spot and so ... Another lovely stay We will be back again such a beautiful spot and so accommodating thanks Owen and family Maria et al
Catherine
Stayed at this property and it was lovely. Really comfortable for 7 people and good facilities. Remote and stunning views to enjoy, especially from the hot tub! Short car ride to local towns and villages. Couple of supermarkets about 1015 drive away. Owner really helpful and responsive when contacted needed a light for the fire and some more recycling boxes. We would definitely return and recommend to others.
Claire
We had a lovely stay. The beds and bedding were high quality. We loved the massive hot tub, plenty of room in and stayed hot. Garden fully secure for our dog which was reassuring, she didn't want to leave. We had Tesco delivered to us and we wouldn't have had to leave the house all week if we didn't need to! Could walk the dog from the doorstep. The road to the cottage passed the farmhouse has pot holes and some is single track but just drive slowly. Was so quiet and peaceful, much needed break from our stressful lives. Didn't need the fire as we had lovely weather and the heating system works well if needed. TV in Cosy living area has apps with netflix etc. We have rebooked for next year for a week. Only feedback to owner would be that it would be helpful to have some hooks for towels in downstairs bathroom. We also couldn't get the TV working in the sunroom sitting area but that could just be us not doing something right! See you next November!
Rebecca
We had a fab time thankyou very much
Hilary
The cottage was very spacious and well equipped, the photos didn't do justice to the fabulous views out to the sea and mountains. I had been nervous about our dogs in the garden but the fencing was secure and they absolutely loved being there. We definitely would like to return.
We had a lovely relaxing holiday the views are amazing
Helpful owner. Glorious setting and well equipped. Comfortable stay would recomend
Beautiful property, lovely facilities, spotless inside, fantastic view. My only concern was finding a loose piece of barbed wire in the long grass next to the parking space, which could have hurt dogs or children. The approach road was indeed rough in some parts, as desribed, and also single track with few passing places. Luckily few other road users, but be ready to reverse!
Hannah
Cottage and location are absolutely superb and the views from the hot tub and garden are stunning. We had a lovely relaxing time here and our two dogs loved it as well. It was quite difficult to get the hot water system on and running so maybe this is something that could be done before guests arrive in future. We would definitely stay again though and highly recommend this cottage.
Veronica
Family holiday to Cefnbron. Could not have picked a better place. Lovely views beautiful walks from cottage comfortable beds and Hot Tub. Easy access to beaches we visited Colwyn Bay Betsy coed and Llandudno. The dogs loved it too secure garden for them to run around in. Will definitely return in the future.
Anouska
Cefnbron is a fantastic holiday stay if your looking for peaceful and stunning surroundings. Scenery was breathtaking. Very spacious and has everything you need and I mean everything you need. Lola and Owen were amazing owners. Could not fault in anyway. Highly recommend
Richard

Very nice people very helpful as we arrived Owen went out off his way to get some milk for us as we needed a coffee could not fault the property and the views were outstanding and so quiet it was a lovely break and would recommend to anyone the only slight down side is the track to the house but if driving slow is ok
Loved our time at the cottage! What lovely views of the sea, mountains and sunset! Best we have ever had in Wales! Can not fault the hosts, left us to enjoy our holiday but there when needed! Only thing I would say is the drive is very uneven and could with some work.. not suitable for all cars! But dont let this stop you from enjoying this lovely holiday cottage!
Samuel
What a beautiful property in such a lovely location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the whole experience very easy and positive. The cottage has everything you need and there is plenty of room. The views are amazing and its so peaceful around the area. The owner was very helpful when we had a small issue with the dryer and made us feel very comfortable throughout. Thanks again and we look forward to next time
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property, thank you. The cottage had all requirements for a peaceful holiday away from the bustle of the busy world. The views are stunning of both peaks and the shore, we felt blessed. If you have a dog, please be aware that the garden is not securely fenced, therefore our fella wanted to frolic with the herds of sheep that surround the property and even the garden . Thank you so much Owen & Lola for a stunning stay. Emma, Sean, Alba & Louis.
Angharad
A wonderful property set in a beautiful part of North Wales. The views from the hot tub were amazing especially seeing the stars on a clear night ..no light pollution here! Property itself was spacious and had everything we needed. Large bedrooms all tastefully decorated,yet keeping its traditional charm.Lovely and warm on a cold night, the log burner was a perfect. Highly recommended
What can I say the cottage is perfect! Just exactly what we wanted. Yes it is slightly remote but that was exactly what we wanted! The hosts were amazing from start to finish. They were so helpful in so many ways! Thank you so much
Absolutely gorgeous house and surroundings. The house is in the middle of farmers fields off at least a two mile track from the road. It was perfect for us, peaceful girls trip away from busy city life. The house was spotlessly clean everything you could need. Although we only used the hot tub once as it was very windy it was so nice and peaceful looking out onto fields and mountains. We would definitely recommend and be coming back.
George
We had a lovely holiday at cefnbron, so comfortable and quiet, we would definitely come back and stay again
Phillip
We had a lovely, peaceful stay. The entire property was well stocked with everything you need for cooking, time in the garden, and enjoying your stay in the living areas and wonderful bedrooms. The views are incredible and the hot tub is a perfect way to relax and take in the garden and surroundings. There is so much to do and see just a drive away.
Tadeusz
It was a beautiful house to stay in. It was comfortable and spacious. It was well equipped and nicely decorated and furnished. We had some early teething problems with the plumbing I think we were the first visitors but these were soon sorted out by the friendly, helpful owners. The location is amazing with wonderful views of the sea and mountains. Would definitely recommend.
