Just writing to say how much I and my friends enjoyed our stay in Pen-y-Bryn over the New Year.
We enjoyed walking in the surrounding countryside and visiting the beaches near Porthmadog and PortMeirion. What a beautiful area, this is my first visit to Snowdonia and I hope not my last!
The cottage is a lovely place to stay and the Hamlet of Rhyd is a gorgeous and peaceful setting. We could not have wished for a better cottage holiday. We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone.
