September 2016
My partner and myself stayed at Bryn Re for the week 3rd sept to 10th sept 2016.
The cottage is really great, (the pictures do not do it justice)
The approach to the cottage is off the main road and down a farm track (give the sheep a little wave on the way) When you reach the cottage there is undercover parking with a door leading into the utility room (freezer , microwave and downstairs toilet) from that you go onto the large and very well equipped kitchen, you really don't need to take any pots /pans/utensils. Waiting for us was a welcome pack consisting of milk, cake , tea , coffee and welsh cakes a nice touch!. Next the dining room with large dining table. The living room is again lovely with a log burner (logs ready cut and included in rental cost) upstairs 3 bedrooms again well laid out with ample storage and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.
There are 2 outside sitting/dining areas with stunning views.
The area is lovely, you can walk around the nearby lake if you are feeling energetic and there is also a cafe (lovely breakfasts) at the lake and an activity centre.
I won't go into all the places to visit there too many, but I would like to say take a trip into nearby Dolgellau lovely little town with independent shops , bars and eateries including takeaways should the mood take you. Also don't miss a visit to Borth there is not much there but the coastline is breathtaking. Porthmadog is also well worth a visit with it's long main street full of shops, although it has a very busy road running through it.
Overall Bryn Re cottage is a very welcoming and relaxing base and the area has something to suit all tastes and fitness levels so if you want to go boating /cycling/hill walking or if you just want to mooch about the towns and villages you will find it all here.
