About this property
Boasting unfettered views of the towering Berwyn Mountains is Bryn Teg, an exceptional single-storey property in one of the most breath-taking positions within Mid Wales, offering an outstanding self-catering experience, coupled with a charming interior design to ensure a heavenly retreat at any time of the year. Located within the village of Llangynog, you are just a short distance away from the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the tallest waterfall in Wales, Pistyll Rhaeadr and the remote Lake Vyrnwy, perfect for romantics, families, avid ramblers and those alike to call home. Park up on the large forecourt and savour the views of the mountains before heading into the property, via the porch, where there is plenty of space to store your walking boots and hang your winter coats. Once inside, you are welcomed into the spacious kitchen/diner, where the windows affords a constant connection with the countryside beyond, whilst the chef of the group makes the most of the modern kitchen suite, containing a range of quality appliances for showing off culinary skills. The adjoining dining table is elegantly presented and is where you and your loved ones can delight in home-cooked dishes, a tipple or two and each other’s company at the end of each day. Slip through to the hallway and find yourself within the sitting room, boasting a charming country-style interior design, with a sumptuous seating arrangement inviting you to get cosy in front of the TV, with the woodburning stove filling the room with a gentle warmth and setting the ambiance. Take the far door out of the sitting room and emerge into the conservatory, where you can kick back to delve into a good book and where the mountain views continue to captivate. Return to the hallway to find the three bedrooms, the master suite notable for its plush king-size bed and good wardrobe storage, as well as the striking views to wake up to each morning. Bedroom two boasts a double bed and bedroom three offers a twin set up, both elegantly furnished with quality linens and good storage space, yet the pièce de résistance are the unrivalled views. Concluding the interior of the cottage is the sleek shower room, where Victorian-style tiles lie beneath a spacious walk-in shower, a contemporary vanity unit with mirror and WC. The garden at Bryn Teg has been designed to be an extension of the house itself, with 0.83 acres of land for you and your canine companions to explore, as well as a hot tub, perfectly positioned to savour the views and a games room to keep the younger guests of the group entertained! For the evenings where you do not feel like cooking, meander into the village centre where you will find a pub serving food and a shop. In Llangynog you can find the Revolution Mountain Bike Park and Mick Extance Off-road Experience. Be sure to make time to visit the beautiful landmark of Pistyll Rhaeadr, which is England and Wales’ highest single drop waterfall, where there are a network of paths to explore, as well as a café so that you can enjoy a cup of tea as you admire the enchanting waters. Lake Vyrnwy is also within striking distance, where you can explore the 24,000-acre RSPB Reserve, with viewpoints to catch a glimpse of the amazing variety of birds before venturing through the Sculpture Park below the Dam or trying your hand at one of the activities on offer, including boating, adventure activities, cycle hire, walking and horse trails.

Has everything we needed. Not one thing bad to add.

Location is excellent for exploring. The access to the parking at the rear is extremely narrow and difficult to negotiate but there is alternative parking below which is fine. Suggest you flag up the alternative in the "blurb"! The owner was wonderfully helpful and can't be praised too highly.

Modern decor Spacious accommodation Comfy beds and lots of bedroom storage Owners friendly to deal with via text Cons: No where in the garden or paddock is secure at all for small dogs, we had to put her on her harness and lead and go out with her every time she needed to go to the toilet. This was very inconvenient, especially as Iâd phoned Sykes specifically to ask about this and been told it was secure. The driveway is very narrow to get in - no mention of this in the listing. We have a VW Golf and it was tight for us. Larger vehicles would really struggle. The majority of the house was clean - sinks, floors, furniture etc but small areas have been neglected - skirting boards dirty, corners of bathroom dirty, black mould in the shower. The electric shower pressure is very very low. Only one double plug socket with small extension lead in master bedroom, and it wasnât near the mirror for drying hair etc. We had to order a 5m extension lead off Amazon. Only one toilet roll provided in each bathroom, had to buy own extras after that. Also no kitchen roll provided. The front of the hob was damaged - has a small jagged chunk out the front, potential injury hazard. Conservatory interior door handle was broken off and just left on the side - step daughter got trapped inside twice. External front door, conservatory exterior door and bathroom window all need adjusting - difficult to shut / operate. Being picky just so owners can improve issues / so future guests are aware before they book.
