About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A recently converted barn that sits high above the beautiful Conwy Valley.

Bryn Mawr is one of 10 luxury self-catering cottages on The Bodnant Estate, a strikingly beautiful agricultural estate in North Wales. Set in hilly and wooded countryside in the lower reaches of the Conwy Valley, it commands spectacular views across to Snowdonia. Stone cottages and farm buildings have been restored using traditional materials and techniques, and the Estate supports farming and encourages other rural activities. Various houses and cottages in scenic positions on the Estate are available for rent as holiday lets. Come and stay in one of them - and enjoy walking on the many miles of private woodland paths winding through the Estate.

A beautifully converted barn that sits high above the Conwy Valley. With a south-western aspect, the property is ideally placed to make the most of the vast and uninterrupted views. The detached conversion lies off a farm track at the heart of the Bodnant Estate, with acres of woods and farmland to stroll through. The cottage is two fields away from the nearest country lane, and as guests at Bryn Mawr, you’ll have access to over 20km of private paths to explore.

After a day spent exploring the landscape, this attractively renovated and furnished property is the ideal location to come home to. Decorated in a traditional yet modern style, the cottage has a real feeling of space, with a separate sitting room and open-plan kitchen and dining area. There’s space enough for up to seven guests to stretch out and relax. With attractive touches like the hand-crafted staircase leading up to the split-level ground floor, the cottage is a real home from home.

Beautiful property with exceptional views. The roads around the property are single track and there is a stone track up to the property so no sports cars!! If you want a quiet escape I would highly recommend however, in close proximity to Llandudno and approx 50 minutes to Snowdonia and Caernarfon. Lovely village pubs surround the cottage on the neighbouring villages. We will certainly be back!!

Beautiful house in a stunning location
Unfortunately, the holiday did not start well as the postcode given was not correct! Luckily, We rang the phone number given and they were able to guide! It was an additional 10 minute car journey. This however meant out Sainsburys delivery also got abandoned! I suggest people do a shop once there. The house itself though was beautiful with stunning views. We were very happy with the accommodation and the beautiful food left in the welcome pack from the Bodnant estate.
