Bryndan in Machynlleth | Must-See Gwynedd Hot Tub Cottage

About Bryndan

Bryndan is a restored 1820s worker's cottage set in the rolling hills of Powys countryside. This Welsh hideaway sits 5 miles from Machynlleth with 10 acres of woodland to explore right on your doorstep.

The property sits among stunning Welsh hills with wildlife that practically poses for photos. Red kites soar overhead while woodpeckers and squirrels make daily appearances at the bird table. Snowdonia National Park offers epic hiking trails nearby. Aberystwyth and Aberdovey beaches are perfect for days out when you need a break from all that rural peace and quiet.

Inside you'll find two flexible bedrooms - one super king-size (can be twins) and one twin (can be double). The kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The sitting room features a cosy woodburning stove in an inglenook fireplace. There's a bathroom with separate shower plus a ground floor cloakroom.

Visit the Museum of Modern Art in Machynlleth (5 miles, 10 min drive). Explore Snowdonia National Park (20 min drive) with its mountains and lakes. Hit Aberystwyth Beach (25 miles, 40 min drive) for seaside fun or try Aberdovey Beach (20 miles, 35 min drive) for watersports and coastal walks.

Bryndan is perfect for couples or small families wanting to escape. The private hot tub with countryside views seals the deal. Who doesn't want to soak under the stars after a day exploring Wales?

Bryndan Reviews

Thank you for sharing your beautiful project Bethan. It was everything we needed it to be. Super peaceful, relaxing and natural, but close enough to town for amenities. It was lovely to see the progress of the build too. We absolutely loved it, you should be so proud!

Bryndan has been lovingly renovated to a high standard and is set amongst really spectacular scenery, its a proper home from home in a rural setting and a very good base as theres plenty to do in the area. We liked it that much that we do hope to stay there again next year. Thank you to the owners for letting us share this lovely cottage

The property was well maintained and host was extremely helpful and friendly. The photos do not do the view justice, it is in a truly incredible location. The cottage is comfortable and clean and exactly what you need when coming home from a busy day out. The location is just outside of the action which means you have the benefit of being able to get to cheap and exciting activities quickly. However if you wanted to visit for a moment of peace and tranquility or a walking holiday there are so many wonderful places to explore.

Christine

Excellent property in the most beautiful location. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Hot tub a definite hit!

Alison

Jones filter coffee pack and bottle of wine wonderful welcome. Rooms very spacious, certainly for two. Property listing could helpfully mention existence of stair gate to keep pets downstairs and that cottage is right by the road which was quiet during our stay. I'd say garden is informal rather than landscaped. Good access to several nature reserves for days out. Bathroom floor needs some attentiongrouting in parts was loose .

Advertised as dog friendly but upon arrival note on a safety gate at foot of stairs states dog not allowed upstairs and in welcome pack states a 50 clean up fee will be charged if any hair found which should be notified before booking. That said great location as a base to explore North Wales. Welcome bottle of Prosecco and filter coffee was a lovely gesture, shame we didn't meet the hosts. No mobile signal up here, free Wifi was welcome. Bed and pillows lush as was the hot tub. Cottage has been beautifully restored and has everything you need for your stay.

Andrew

This was our second stay at Bryndan and was every bit as wonderful as the first. We had a great relaxing time, the cottage has everything you need plus more and the hot tub and log burner are an excellent plus. Nestled away in the Cambrian mountains you really are at one with nature with no one near to bother you, we saw lots of red kite and had daily visits from Woodpeckers and Squirrels at the bird table. Bethan is a fantastic host, we didnt see her the first time we stayed and when we did need her for something minor this time she was straight over to help and very warm and knowledgeable on the area without being at all intrusive. Thoroughly recommend this little piece of heaven and we will definitely be returning asap! Andy and Rachael

Perfect get away lovely relaxing and peaceful location. Spotlessly clean.log burner made it lovey and cosy on an evening. Hot tub was great to chill in after long days out visiting local and surrounding areas. Would love to return one day

Caitlin

Fantastic stay with everything we needed! Lovely rural location with stunning views and walking routes and a fabulous hot tub to soak in afterwards. We loved our stay Thank you so much for having us

Beautiful cottage with stunning views in a great location. Easy and short journey times to several beaches and other stunning locations. Owners are responsive if needed and accommodating to our late arrival time. Hot Tub was perfectly placed to enjoy the views in complete privacy with the cottage having all the required facilities and beautifully clean. Cant recommend highly enough.

Christopher

Lovely property, stunning location and the most helpful host you could possibly want.

The cottage was perfect, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The hot tub was amazing. We would love to return one day.

Madeleine

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Bryndan. The cottage is very clean and well appointed. Everything needed for a weeks holiday is provided. The hot tub was also very clean. There are lots of good walks nearby over the hills or through woodland and a supermarket 4 miles away in Machynlleth. There is an electric car charger 18 miles away in Aberystwyth.

Andrew

Amazing stay at Bryndon. The cottage is spacious clean and full of character. Everything you need is here. Beautiful rural setting with plenty of bird life, hot tub is perfect. Thank you we will be back Andy Rach and Lily

Hello, we had a really nice time at the cottage and found it very homely and relaxing.

A really lovely house in the mountains we lost the WiFi half way through the week but managed without it. Bring bird seed as sitting in the hot tub watching the feeders was awesome. Close enough to the shops and really good location for visiting the surrounding locations. A gem.

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely cottage, fantastic views.

I sent my parents on holiday for their anniversary and they loved going back. Bryndan is in a very quiet, peaceful area. There are plenty of walks around as long as you take a map, and they loved being able to use the garden and hot tub too.

Carole

We had a wonderful week. The absolute bonus was the bird life in the garden and the view. The hot tub within those surroundings was fantastic we didnt need any more especially with the lovely weather. Just one suggestion my husband would have appreciated a sun umbrella as he prefers shade.

Bryndan is a dream cottage, renovated to a high quality but still has that homely feel. Set in a stunning location. We had a lovely week, even the weather was nice for our sightseeing days out.

Stunning cottage, immaculate and clean. Beautiful views and walks. Bonus of hot tub and log burner. Owner extremely friendly and helpful. Cant wait to go back!

Superb Property with wonderful hosts

Philippa

Had an absolutely amazing week here in October. The house is beautiful, and the story of the renovation of the house is fabulous. Everything has been done to such a high standard. Theres zero phone signal anywhere in or near the house if youre with EE, but the WiFi is ok so dont have to be completely cut off unless you want to be. The rooms are gorgeous and the beds are so comfy. The setting is absolutely idyllic. Ive recommended this home to all of my friends and will definitely be back! There was a lovely touch of a bottle of bubbly waiting for us when we arrived and sitting in the hot tub while the sun rises with only sheep for company is the best way to start the day.

Rachel

Lovely stay, so relaxing.

Angela

We stayed here for a week in August and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The cottage was beautiful, clean and well equipped. The views were stunning. Beth was a wonderful host extremely helpful with anything we asked. Would highly recommend Bryndan for a quiet, peaceful and relaxed getaway.

We found the cottage exactly as photos very clean and comfortable . A credit to Bethan and family . Bethan was very helpful and friendly went out of her way to find two extra outdoor chairs for us . When the Wi Fi went of they came immediately to fix it . We would recommend the cottage to anyone definite 5 star . Unfortunately not somewhere we will return as suffering Arthritis and being 83 the surrounding area though beautiful the terrain just to difficult for me personally. A gem in Sykes .

Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable and Bethan is a lovely,warm host. The hot tub was wonderful and would like to return

Stephen

Excellent cottage, superb location. Very helpful owner. Very clean and wellequipped, although could have been better organised as far as the supply and storage of essential items was concerned. This is an old miner's cottage, superbly located and sympathetically converted. However not ideal for people of limited mobility, due to steep indoor staircase and difficulty manoeuvring baggage and other items indoors and between car and cottage. During our stay, we learned that the owners also had alternative nearby properties, all on one level, which would have been more suitable for us.

This was our second visit to Bryndan and hopefully it won't be our last. Our first visit was during last Autumn and we decided to see what it would be like there during the Spring. The cottage was just as wonderful as our first visit. Bethan was the same exceptional host as last time. But on this occasion we had the added pleasures of watching new born lambs in the neighbouring fields, the countryside festooned with loads of daffodils and some pretty amazing weather! Bryndan is a magical place. I wonder what it's like in the Summer?!

Superb Property Wonderful Host

Joanna

Beautifully refurbished miners cottage, with beams and plenty of room. Central heating and double glazing. Beautiful views of forest and trees and red kites.

We had a wonderful stay at Bryndan in March 2022. The cottage is so homely yet keeps its original charm and has everything you need to enjoy your time in such a beautiful scenic location. It was so very clean and comfortable. We loved the Hot tub with its lovely views and the log burner. The garden was perfect for our dog as it is fully enclosed, but may not be for smaller dogs. Lots of wonderful walks and places to see nearby, but you will need a car to get around. The owners were really friendly and helpful too. Bryndans quiet location was just what we needed to get away from it all and relax!

Eileen

Outstanding value for money. Fabulous cottage and hosts exceptional. You literally cant go wrong with booking a stay here.

Calfin

Gorgeous cottage in a stunning location with a wonderful host.

We had a wonderful stay over new year, the cottage was clean and beautifully looked after. Views were spectacular and ideally located for exploring. Bethan, the owner, was lovely and very helpful. We will definitely return!

I'd say the pictures don't do it justice! Beautiful surroundings and very friendly hosts. We would stay again

We had an excellent break at Bryndan. The cottage is well equipped, cozy and spotlessly clean. The owner and her family were incredibly helpful and I would recommend this property to anyone.

Calfin

Bryndan is a wonderful cottage with superb hosts I can't recommend it highly enough
