About the home

From the striking courtyard, one enters into a spacious hall with an old Welsh Dresser, made by a local craftsman.
This cottage, like all the others at Bryn Melyn Farm, have been given an extremely high 5* accreditation by Visit Wales.
The kitchen/dining room, sitting room and downstairs lavatory are all off this hallway.
The sitting room has a door leading onto the communal garden with its stunning view of the Upper Dee Valley and the meandering River Dee.The kitchen/ dining room has a cream Shaker style kitchen including everything that might make your holiday easier, such as dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge freezer, electric hob and oven. The dining table is large and the whole family could happily spend some considerable time in here together, planning activities or playing games, or of course, eating!
Upstairs, there are 2 delightful bedrooms and a large bathroom off a very spacious landing.
The double bedroom is both cosy and romantic whereas the twin bedroom [which can also be converted to a superking bedroom] is light and airy. Sunlight floods into this upstairs area in the daytime with its combination of roof windows and box windows where one could take in the glorious views.One is spoilt for space in the bathroom with its separate power shower.

You could either choose to spend time at Bryn Melyn farm itself, with its 12 acres at your disposal, including woodland area with pond, tennis court, games room and private fishing, or of course, you could participate in the abundant local activities from white water rafting and mountain biking to walking and horse riding.

The local pub is only 0.6 of a mile away offering food and regular live music.There is another pub within 2 miles of the farmhouse,not to mention the national award winning restaurant, Tyddyn Llan in Llandrillo.You could also enjoy a meal at the glorious Pale Hall, a Victorian Mansion within one mile of the farmhouse and now a luxurious hotel at which you could also partake of some morning coffee or afternoon tea.After all,Queen Victoria once stayed here when it was a private house and the station platform was extended at the time to receive the Royal train!

For the birdwatchers amongst you, this is the ideal venue.We have a huge variety of birds to include owls which you can hear as they call to one another at night, the hypnotic call of the buzzards as they fly above the farm,and nesting in the courtyard this year 2009, we have had a redstart, a very rare and shy bird, which only goes to show what a peaceful location it is! Daily, there is an enormous variety of birds jostling for supremacy. We have a particularly well fed robin redbreast who enjoys any food left out for him on the maintenance shed! Some of our keen birdwatching guests have also enjoyed a day out to Lake Vyrnwy and its excellent birdwatching facility.

As for fishermen, you don't even have to get in the car!
We have a 3/4 mile of private fishing on the River Dee .

Guestbook for Y Gadlas

We stayed at Bryn Melyn Farm for 5 days during July and only wished it was longer. We were impressed with the accommodation and the facilities at the property.The cottage that we stayed in was finished to averyu high standard, for example the shower.I had complaints from my son when we got home who said ours was now rubbish. Everything you could need had been thought of in the property and when we were not doing very active things which were numerous nearby then we spent some time at the cottage relaxing in a very comfortbale environment. The tennis court also pleased our son, we didn't have time to investigate the games room etc!
We had a thoroughly lovely break in a relaxing environment and would definitely like to return
V.Maharaj

Easy access for the mildly disabled with plenty of parking spaces.Great location, immaculate accommodation and the gardens and grounds were so well kept.

Eirian the hostess and Aled the maintenance manager were so helpful - nothing was too much trouble to make a great holiday even better. It was a really relaxing holiday in a beautiful area.
