Ann
Fantastic house, beautiful furnishings and a lovely garden, kitchen had everything you could ever need, a luxury holiday home..
Sharon
I cannot speak highly enough of this property, the photos do not do it justice. This period home is beautifully presented and far more spacious than expected. Everything you could possibly think of has been provided and is to a luxury standard. Our host Becky was helpful, informative and a pleasure to deal with. The location of this property is perfect for woodland, mountain and coastal walks, all within a 30 minute drive. We have had the most fabulous week and will definitely be back.
Susan
Tร…ยท Brithdir is a beautiful property with a very welcoming, homely feel. Perfect for our birthday weekend with family able to visit from nearby. Beds and sofas were all very comfortable. Lovely decoration throughout. Everything you need is there. The owner is very helpful and friendly. We were lucky with the weather for February and enjoyed estuary and waterfall walks - so many to choose from locally, easy and more strenuous. Barmouth beach was also lovely for a good walk and run for our dog, followed by a very nice lunch in the sunshine at The Lobster Pot! Thoroughly enjoyed evenings by the fire in the gorgeous lounge after meals at local pubs - George III was very good. Highly recommend this property and wouldn't hesitate to return at the first opportunity!
