What an amazing house!
What an amazing house and setting, beautiful and peaceful and the perfect place to get together with family and friends and completely relax. I knew Bryn Engan was isolated when I booked but it was not until we arrived and saw the house and surroundings that I realised how completely away from everything we were and how beautiful the surroundings are. Every evening our children played on the large grassy area at the front of the house without us having to worry about them disturbing anyone, while we enjoyed a beer, views and sunshine from the picnic table. The pool table and table tennis were also well used by everyone in our party, especially my 10 year old daughter. We were really lucky with the weather so spent most of the week visiting the local beaches, of which there are plenty just a short drive away. Everyone in our party agreed, we will definitely stay at Bryn Engan again.

Wow factor!
We have returned home after a weekend at Bryn Engan celebrating my sons 21st birthday and feel like we have come back to earth with a huge bang! Bryn Engan was fantastic, 12 adults from young to old everyone had the wow factor by how fabulous the house and setting is. The barns with the pool table and table tennis were a welcome treat of fun with the young and young at heart. The log burner soon made us feel very toastie after the winter weather during the day, The pictures do not give this place justice, the saying is 'Don't just holiday there, live there' and for 3 nights and 4 days we felt it was our home! It a huge privilege to be able to enjoy the delights that Bryn Engan offers, to have all that space and setting all to yourself is a rare find and we will definitely return, but for a least a week next time. Thank you Susanna for the great communication and sharing this hidden gem in beautiful North Wales 😀

Fantastic Farmhouse
Fantastic farmhouse with everything needed to cater and entertain large groups.
Photos do not do this place justice, plenty of space inside and out. We had frisbee and football with us which are well used. Stunning views from the picnic table where we spent most of our time.
12 adults in our group and never felt crowded. The pool room was great and well used in the evenings. Wish we had stayed longer, weekend was not enough to take it in.

Fantastic House
Fantastic house with all needs met. Just arriving at the cottage made us smile and when we opened the door we we were already planning numerous further stays.
The owners had thought of everything. Well equipped kitchen, great facilities, comfy beds and the whole house was tastefully decorated!
Our group had a relaxing but fun time and would highly recommend it.
It was well worth the 5 hour journey to get there.
The picnic bench overlooking the valley is very special.

what an amazing place to stay!
What an amazing place to stay! The house feels quiet and remote, like you've got away from the world - but not so hidden away the waitrose delivery van couldn't find it! The house is comfortable and spacious, we were 9 adults and one child but never felt cramped. The lovely grounds, table tennis barn and pool room all helped ensure we could spread out, as well as while away the evening with a few tournaments. The large dining table was a particularly great feature and was where everyone gathered for meals or board games. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and genuinely set up for large groups. We were lucky with the weather and the house is well placed for easy access to a range of great places to visit - we went to Beddgelert, Portmeirion, Abersoch, a walk (halfway) up Snowdon. This was the perfect venue for our reunion holiday and we'll definitely be returning.

Bryn Engan was an amazing cottage. We went to climb Snowdon and Cnicht, and it was perfectly situated for both climbs. It exceeded expectations in quality and cleanliness for the price. There were so many fantastic touches, including fresh flowers, welcome gifts, games and books galore, and a booklet of rainy day ideas (that we thankfully didn't need). Susie was a great host, and was quick to respond to any issues we had, even being patient when we were on the mountain. The check in was incredibly smooth. The kitchen, living room, games rooms, bathrooms, and outside seating made for a luxurious stay. Having a coffee in the morning with a view of the mountains and the sea is unbeatable. I couldn't recommend this place enough! A perfect gem in a beautiful area.

We had a fabulous stay at Bryn Engan. The views from the farmhouse are stunning and it was lovely to have so much outdoor space to ourselves. The house was very comfortable for our family party of six. We loved the pool and ping-pong tables and the piano. It's perfectly situated for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia and we had a great time at Morfa Nefyn (lovely beach), Surf Snowdonia, Coed y Brenyn (mountain biking), Blaenau Ffestiniog, Llanberis (climbing Snowdon), Portmeirion and the Inigo Jones Slate Museum. Susanna is a very kind and attentive host. Highly recommended!

We have just had the most amazing holiday at Bryn Engan, the house is great and all 12 of us had plenty of space and slept well. The kids loved the outdoor space and table tennis and it was great for all of us to eat together around one large table. The house is so well equipped with everything you need. We had wonderful days at the beaches of Llanbedrog, Morfa Nefyn and Criccieth. It was so peaceful and such a beautiful setting, you won't be disappointed and Susanna couldn't be more helpful, such an amazing lady

Wow!! We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is so cozy and felt like home. There was 10 of us stay and we all loved our stay. So many little touches that definitely helped, like all the information to tell you how to work everything. Susie (owner) was brilliant she phoned to make sure everything was ok and replied back to messages very quickly. The men loved the man cave with the pool table and spent most there time in there, so us ladies could enjoy some wine in peace. I would say one of my favourite part of the house would have to be the view, mountains and sea it was perfect. I will definitely come back in the future, thank you susie for having us

We had such a fantastic time at Bryn Engan. The photos and reviews all made the place seem like it was going to be very good, but it was even better than we were expecting. Susie was absolutely great, making sure we had everything we needed for the weekend and sent us a very detailed set of directions to find the house. I would highly recommend staying at Bryn Engan to anyone. It was perfect for a large group and had everything you could need for a nice relaxing weekend. Thank you so much Susie, we loved it.

Just returned home following a fantastic Christmas spent at Bryn Engan. We were a party of 9 family members . From booking in Jan 2019 until leaving on Sunday Susie was a fantastic host . The booking process was easy & Susie kept in touch throughout answering my many questions . The farm house is off the beaten track which was just what we wanted . It had everything we needed to produce the perfect Christmas - large well equipped kitchen , dinning table to seat us all . It was decorated for the festive season so made it a home from home . The bedrooms were well appointed & comfy . We all loved the pool table & table tennis table ( so much so the children abandoned their Christmas presents in favour of playing a game or two ! . Our grandchildren loved all the open space and spent many a happy hour playing outside . I would highly recommend this beautiful farmhouse & Susie . Cant wait to return .

Have just returned from another wonderful 2 weeks at Bryn Engan, It never disapoints! So well equiped and such beautiful surroundings you forget what's going on in the world! A true hidden gem where the kids have so much fun and adults can kick back and relax with the stunning views! Susanna was a wonderful host checking if everything was ok, Feels so much like home and look forward to coming to our favourite place in wales for many years to come.

Our family of all ages have had a great holiday at Bryn Engan. The house is very comfortable and we'll equiped. The pool room was very popular. Outside has stunning views of sea and mountains and lots of space for games. Susie was particularly thoughtful and helpful in these strange times. Thank you we will return

We have holidayed twice at Bryn Engan now- once as a family of 12 aged from 2 - 65 in June 2019 and we have just arrived back from a break with the other side of the family (10 people aged 3 - 69).
We have loved our stays both times and would highly recommend the house. Susanna the host is very attentive and informative, and the house itself is a hidden treasure!
The house is of the beaten track which we love, so the kids can play safely in the grounds without the worry of traffic. Its handy for so many nice towns to explore, we have used it as a base to visit Harlech, Porthmadog, Beddgelert, Caernarfon and Criccieth..
The house has everything you need- plenty of spacious bedrooms, a fully kitted out kitchen and large dining areas. We also loved a few nights of pool and table tennis tournaments while the children slept, so much better than our holidays abroad when my husband or I are often stuck in the room with sleeping children!
Its a testament to this house that we have visited twice, and we plan to return again.

We stayed at Bryn Engan for 4 nights and had such an incredible stay! The house and grounds are beautiful especially the large BBQ table outside. We were fortunate enough with the weather to be able to sit outside until midnight and the stars over Bryn Engan are amazing. Susie was extremely accommodating with all things Covid related and couldn't have made it easier for our reduced group to be able to still make the trip. We were also given some great walk tips which we used to warm up for Snowdon. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again in the near future - thanks Susie for a great stay!!

Have just returned from a trip to Bryn Engan. What a beautiful cottage in even better surroundings. Susanna was the perfect host. There were extra COVID precautions in place to ensure a safe trip for everyone involved. The grounds and views at the cottage are spectacular and even better in real life than the pictures suggest. Everyone was amazed when we entered the cottage, its the perfect base to explore the surrounding area.
All in all, I can definitely recommend a trip to the cottage - we will certainly be returning!

Beautiful, traditional farmhouse which provided a great base to explore Snowdonia. Property is well equipped with everything you could need and was really comfortable for our family. Plenty of room and the table tennis and pool table were also activities we enjoyed. There is a drive to some of the main tourist hotspots but the drive is much nicer with Snowdonia as a backdrop. Susie was an excellent host who responds quickly and checked in to see if we were ok. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the area, we loved it!!
