Don't waste your time and money. In the cold weather of November, he turned off the heating system, and we only had heating for one hour at night, and the cold weather in that area is unbearable. The cold weather made our children sick. The hot water froze after three people took a bath, even though the capacity of the villa was for 14 people. He would turn off the lights in the yard at 10 o'clock at night. And the last thing is that there is a barbecue listed in the package, but on the last day he told us that he doesn't have a barbecue, and after discussion, he was convinced to prepare the barbecue quickly. Also, the WiFi wasn't good, and they turned it off at 11.

Had a lovely time at Bryn Llys at the end of August. This is an excellent place for a large group or family holiday because of the well-equipped kitchen and enormous dining room. The upstairs lounge is a beautiful space to relax in, full of comfy seating. We also loved the table tennis and darts in the games room. There is so much to do within easy reach and Carlo and Liz were happy to help us plan trips, including the best place to enjoy stargazing in the lovely dark skies.
The family rooms are spacious, with a mezzanine level for the children, comfortable beds and an ensuite. Everything was clean and in good working order, with plenty of hot water for relaxing showers after days climbing and swimming in beautiful Snowdonia.
The outside seating in the courtyard is beautiful and a great suntrap to hang out for breakfast, coffee, chatting and barbeque-ing. The grounds are lovely and there are brilliant walks straight from the door. A fantastic base to spend time in Snowdonia!

As two young people travelling and hiking in Europe for 6-months, our stay at Bryn Llys was a true highlight. Carlo’s kindness and generosity was deeply appreciated and brought light to our trip. We stayed 2 nights in our tent and 2 nights in our room, both were fantastic and the facilities were extremely clean. We will absolutely be back to use Bryn Llys as a base for future hiking adventures :)

I'm a member of the on-site miniature railway, but I have nothing but praise for Carlo and Liz, who own the property. Everything is just so, they never stop working. It is a lovely peaceful place I would recommend to anyone. I have stayed in the big house and the static caravan, so I write with some authority.

This is a wonderful place for motorhome camping. The gardens and surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful and it's an oasis of peace and tranquillity. The facilities are new and a pleasure to use. It's also a great location for exploring the surrounding areas. Carlo is an excellent host and clearly takes pride in the site. Hopefully we'll be back in the not too distant future. Highly recommended

What a gorgeous, well-maintained property! We stayed here whilst hiking the Eryri/Snowdonia way and it was such an oasis after a hard day of walking. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautifully curated and the facilities are clean and well maintained. The owner was very helpful, thoughtful and friendly. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

We stayed at this lovely haven of nature for a close friends wedding just a few weeks ago. The owner Carlo and his team had worked reahard to ensure that the lovely secluded grounds were looking stunning. The accommodation and facilities were brilliant.
A perfect field wedding followed by a sit down meal in the marquee and dancing in the open sided barn.
Thank you for making a perfect setting for such a happy weekend.

My first impression on arriving here was an emotional one! It was like stepping into the secret garden! Unfortunately I have had a heavy cold since being here and have hardly ventured out but what a perfect place to be unwell in! This is the perfect place to get away from our busy lives and to chill but near enough to be able to explore Llanberis, Snowdonia, Slate Museum and all the other areas of interest that are nearby! Zip World is five minutes away in the car! We had intended to explore the local area as well as enjoy the beauty of where we are staying but we will have to do that next time! The property is perfect and a lot of thought has clearly gone into it! What a lovely gesture to find milk in the fridge and a delicious cake waiting for us on our arrival! We have stayed in many places over the years but this has definitely come out on top! We were lucky enough to meet the lovely owner Carlo who was keen to make sure that we were OK. It is obvious that he has and is putting a lot of thought and work into here! I am quite fussy and I have really appreciated our first visit here even though it has been slightly ruined by being unwell. We have visited North Wales before, several times but now I am pleased that we have found the perfect place to return to over the years to come! We were gutted when our friend sold.his cottage that he had nearby but now we are happy to have come across this gem! I would highly recommend a.stay here and although we still have two nights left here I wanted to write this now before getting home and returning to work next week. This is a perfect place to come and unwind with your family and although one of our teenage sons has been home with me also unwell, the other has enjoyed walks to the Slate Museum and also Great Orme!

Having just returned from a four day break at Bryn Llys to celebrate a special family birthday had to write and review. Owner Carlo so helpful and friendly, nothing to much trouble. Could not fault our stay at all. Accommodation excellent, spacious and clean, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return, exactly as described. So peaceful, grounds are lovely to walk round and you aren’t restricted in any way. Some of our party went on Velocity 2 at the nearby Zip World and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A beautifully located CL site, just outside the town of Bethesda but within easy walking distance. Each pitch is spacious, and the whole area is very tranquil. There's even a lovely little lake to walk around. The shower block is partially completed with two spotlessly clean toilets currently up and running with cold water available. It will no doubt be finished soon to provide full facilities. It's not a problem if you have your own onboard facilities. The water pressure to fill the aqua roll was excellent. 4G reception excellet. Grey and black water facilities first class. The site is very handy for exploring Snowdonia via car or if walking, the northeastern Snowdonia mountains are easily accessible, as is the Penrhyn Zipwire Experience, which is thoroughly recommended. If walking low level, the slate trail is across the road from the site entrance. The owners Carlo and Liz are accessible and very welcoming. In Bethesda itself, there are good Londis and Tesco Express stores, a cafe, and a handful of pubs. There are regular buses to Bangor and Bettws Y Coed from Bethesda. In summary, a really good little CL, in spectacular surroundings, to which we will definitely return.

Lovely site, beautiful grounds with miniture railway. There are lots of walks so brilliant for dog walkers. A stroll around the lake is especially nice. The pitches are a decent size and picnic tables are provided making eating al fresco easy. We will return!
Lovely welcome by Carlo. Highly recommend this site, ideal for Snowdon, Angelsey, Llandudno and many more Welsh gems.

We spent 10 days in the cottage Hafan, beautifully decorated, spacious, spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The grounds are well kept and the ambience is peaceful and relaxing. Carlos, the owner, was helpful and friendly, nothing was to much trouble. Our dog loved his walks around the gardens and the lake. Totally recommended!

We just got back from an amazing weekend away at Bryn Llys. There was 12 of us for my brothers 30th birthday and it was perfect.
We booked Zipworld so Bryn Llys was not only perfect for the location but perfect for the amount of us. It is only a 15 minute walk away from Zipworld and I wouldnt say I walk fast.
The surrounding area is BEAUTIFUL.
The owners Carlo and Liz were lovely. Very helpful and accommodating. The y provided a little welcome pack on arrival with a few essentials and a couple cakes as they knew we were there for a birthday which I thought was really nice.
I honestly cannot recommend it enough. It really was perfect for us

We stayed at Bryn Llys just for one night 12/2/2022 in our motorhome ???? We were greeted by the lovely owner Carlo who was so welcoming and informative. The site is absolutely beautiful, so peaceful and idyllic. There are nicely kept flower beds, gardens and grassed areas etc. It was a pleasure to stay. The surrounding walks and countryside are beautiful.We walked around the lake which was so beautiful. We will definitely return. Thank you both for a wonderful stay ??

We had an fantastic New Year break at Bryn Llys. The owners couldn't do enough to make our stay as welcoming as possible. We booked both houses for our large family holiday, they were spotlessly clean, and had everything you would need plus more. The added decorations, and firework display were the perfect finishing touch.
Would highly recommond.

We stayed in the cottage over the Xmas period and it was fantastic. Carlo and his partner Liz were super, even over Xmas they were keen to ensure that we had the perfect stay, the welcome pack was a lovely touch with fabulous local coffee and chocolates, very welcoming. The place was all decorated and felt like home for our big family get together. The facilities were all perfect, warm cosy rooms, hot showers and everything that we needed to enjoy a special Xmas together. The grounds were perfect to walk off all the excesses of Xmas dinner and the local walks with stunning views were easily accessible from the door. Thanks for making the stay so enjoyable!

A gem in North Wales , beautiful surroundings and only a short drive to snowden. Carlo is happy to advise with local knowledge and cater to your needs. I’m not one for going back to sites as there are so many to see. This one however I will return too. Thanks for everything. All the best. ????

Absolutely fabulous small touring site (also have self catering) set in really picturesque gardens amid woods. Hosts are really friendly and super helpful. Location is brilliant, right on the edge of the national park. Also right on the cycle track from Bangor to Lake Ogden. We cycled this and the route up through the mountains is just stunning. We will be back!!!

We stayed as it was the venue for a friend's birthday party and it is an amazing place to have a party. There are lots of walks nearby and the scenery is lovely. The party decorations and lights were beautiful. The cottage was so charming and we arrived to find a hamper of drinks and some cakes waiting for us. Plus it had a Christmas tree all decorated and a wood burning stove so very cosy. Carlo and Liz were friendly and accomodating throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend staying here.

What little gem of a site, wonderfully set aside from main A5, but views were stunning surprised by the fact not many knew of it, the owner Carlos most welcoming even on a chilly December evening, sadly only able to stay one night, the owners were restoring and renewing shower block/toilets but all clean and tidy, on site there’s Eletric hook up and fresh water, as well waste disposal, access to site was easy to follow, we have a large motorhome and it was great to get in to, grounds were nicely kept and also there’s a miniature railway with the grounds, ( club visit on Tuesday )

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Bryn Llys with my family. Had the most amazing staycation break. The house was immaculate and beautifully presented upon arrival with all the necessities. I can't stress enough how great the whole experience was. The house is well equipped with everything needed. We went for a walk around the land through trees and lakes, it was so beautiful and the kids really enjoyed it. We did a BBQ in the barn which was so lovely. Carlo was very lovely and helpful, whenever we needed anything and called for help he was always there. Can't thank him enough for making this staycation an very lovely experience for us all. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a staycation around the area. I am already thinking ofreturning back in the summer.
Thanks you again.

Very friendly owner. Great location for cycling and walking or just enjoying the site itself. Good road access to the site. It gets a little narrow as you drive onto the site (fold your mirrors in if in a motorhome, the bushes will fold them for you if you forget so don’t worry), minor thing as also could be my road position. I would recommend, I have booked to return already.

We have just spent 2 nights in our campervan and will definitely be back. What an amazing peaceful place. Beautifully maintained. Lots of great walks in the woodland for the dog.

A lovely place to come and relax. The owners are really welcoming without being overbearing. The grounds are fantastic to explore with many little hidden paths and the hard standing pitches are well spaced out an interesting.. The fact you can walk into Bathesda in about 10 mins down a forest path is a massive bonus!

An absolute gem! Carlo is a wonderful host who not only maintains this beautiful little site immaculately, but is so friendly and generous with local hints and tips. Not only is the site itself beautiful - ornamental garden, lake, lovely greenery and plenty of room per pitch - buts location is amazing: 20 minutes from Snowdonia Nat Park, 12 mins from Anglesey, 15 mins from Caernarfon, 35 mins from pretty Llandudno.
One of the best holidays we have had - thank you!

We have just spent 11 nights in caravan here with 2 dogs. It is a beautiful picturesque site, very well maintained and lovely to walk around the gardens and pond. You can walk into Bethesda within 10 minutes from site through a small woodland walk over river. There's a londis and tesco express for your shopping, lovely pub which served fabulous food and a coffee shop. There's also takeaways, pizzas, fish and chip, Junction Chinese and Indian recommended by Carlo and was lovely. Carlo was always around for advice, friendly and helpful when we had issues with caravan!
Ideally located for all roads. Recommend zip world in walking distance, we walked Mount Snowden and did some watersports. Only advice is to book everything well in advance as it's all very popular.

We have just spent a lovely couple of days in the Hafan Cottage at Bryn Llys. The cottage was really spacious, perfect with 2 teenage boys as it gave them their own space.
The cottage had everything we needed and was literally 5 minutes drive from Zipworld, which had been the reason for the trip.
The site itself was lovely with lots to explore.
Carlo was really friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend.

H Cawthorne
A great stay on the caravan site at Bryn Llys. Carlo was helpful, pointing out great mountain bike routes, walks and generally sound information when requested. The caravan site was peaceful, brilliant for dogs and in a central location for walking, climbing, biking and anything else that took our fancy!
Simply put a fantastic site.:)

Was delighted to be offered the opportunity to review Bryan Llys. We stayed on the CL site and it was beyond our expectations, the best we have ever experienced in 17 yrs of camper-vanning. Welcome was friendly and helpful and the 10 acre site was wonderfully maintained, interesting and peaceful. You can walk a nearby old railway path to Zip World and beyond which was great for us.
Would definitely return if in the area again and would highly recommend to our friends and family.
Well done, excellent!!

Nestled in the Ogwen Valley, Bryn Llys is a pretty Caravan and Motorhome Club CL with lovely floral displays, ornamental pond, natural lake and a miniature railway. Most pitches are hardstanding, waste services are modern and clean. Owner lives within grounds and is amicable. We will stay again.

This was our second visit to Bryn Llys and we were not disappointed. The Caravan was well equipped and spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 toilets and good lounge and kitchen.
The site is beautifully situated with each pitch offering privacy.
It is also ideally situated for trips for walking and day trips. However if all you want to do is remain on the site the gardens are beautiful and there is a gentle walk around the lake.
Carlos and his family are perfect hosts.
We will no doubt be returning.

We have just returned from a wonderful few days, staying at the Bryn Llys campsite. The grounds are beautiful (which include lake and gardens), and the location perfect for Zip World (a 20 minute walk). Facilities were all great, and the pitches were nicely spaced out. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. I look forward to hopefully returning soon.

Lovely well set out site with beautiful gardens and a mix of accommodation. Easy walk into Bethesda and very convenient for Bangor, Anglesey and Snowdonia. Friendly helpful host who was always to be found maintaining the grounds. Lots of little quiet areas to sit and a covered social area for the inevitable wet North Wales days. We'll definitely be back. Reliable hook-up and TV reception; water and waste facilities fine; on-site toilet for those not self-sufficient; reasonably level slate hard-standing pitches for caravans and motorhomes as well as grass pitches; cottages for the less hardy...

What can I say! Bryn Llys is just wonderful. We stayed in Arosfa, the self catering static caravan last week with my husband and 1 year old son. The caravan is huge! a double bed and a single, both with lovely comfortable high quality mattresses and bedding. Carlo kindly lent us a travel cot in addition, which again was brand new, clean and perfect for our son. There is 2 little bathrooms, one with the best shower I have ever been in and plenty of hot water, it can also be used as a little bath for the toddler or child!
The kitchen is really well equipped and immaculately clean with a gas oven and hob and good sized fridge freezer so we didn't need eat out at all. We could not believe the gorgeous welcome hamper left out for us containing milk and a variety of local goodies, such a thoughtful touch and so gratefully received after a long journey.
Then there is the lounge and dining area, again clean and comfortable felt like we were in a small house not a caravan! The TV was handy for the early mornings and has loads of channels. The decking and balcony area have lovely tables and chairs so you can spend most of the time outside if you like, and is not overlooked by the cottages so you really do have of privacy and your own space.
Now , the grounds are something really really special! Huge ancient woodland with the most amazing wildlife, frogs, birds, fish and newts on the lilly ponds. Hundreds and hundreds of beautiful flowers everywhere its totally breath-taking!
If this isn't enough to explore, the on site and very active miniature railway which (very subtly) goes most of the way around the grounds is sure to impress you ! The guy even gave my son a ride on the trains, which of course made his day.
If you like to keep active like us, then with out having to leave the site you can swim and paddleboard on the lake there which is just awesome, or you can go for a cycle, walk or run up and off to the many surrounding trails and into the mountains!!
You can walk through the back of the site into local village Bethesda where there are a few smaller shops pubs and cafes, or you can visit Bangor (less than 10 mins) for major supermarkets. Although you could quite happily entertain yourself on site or in the surrounding areas, Bryn Llys is perfectly placed for getting to Llanberis, Portmadog, Llandudno , Anglesey and Betws y Coed for an active or cultural day out!
Carlo, Liz and their family made us so, so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They are super knowledgeable about the local area and are so happy to give you info if you need advice or inspiration on where to go. Bryn Llys is a perfect relaxing environment for a quiet retreat, or for an active break. however you choose to stay, self catering cottage, static or own caravan just make sure you stay long enough! You will not be disappointed. Thanks Liz and Carlo, we will be back! xxx

What a beautiful campsite. Surrounded by nature, its a wonderful place to unwind and relax. As the site has only got 8 pitches at the moment is very peaceful. Cant wait to stay again.
Unfortunately there isn't much going on in the nearby village so we took a bus to Bangor instead to grab a bite to eat.

We stayed for six days at Bryn Llys in Hafan Cottage, the former mill. It exceeded our expectations.
Bryn Llys has wonderful grounds with a lake and formal pond. There is a footpath leading to the village of Bethesda. It was convenient for Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula, Snowdonia and the Zipwire, if you dare!
The cottage slept 4 with two generous bedrooms each with en suite. The kitchen and living room were also large and well-equipped. The cottage had thick stone walls and many original features.
Carlo was an excellent host with a great knowledge of the area. He was keen to please and to make our holiday special.

We stayed in our motorhome on the caravan site at Bryn Llys early June. The site & surrounding areas are stunning. Lots of lovely walks from site through woodland, along the river, around the lake & upto Zipworld if you're feeling adventurous.
It's within easy driving distance for many places including Anglesey, Bangor, Snowdonia just to mention a few.
There are no facilities but as we are self contained that didn't bother us.
Carlo, the new owner was very friendly & approachable & we wish him all the best for the future, we will definitely be back.

Bryn Llys is an idyllic relaxing site to stay on. It has EHU on all pitches water and waste is easily accessible
The site its self is beautiful, there are hidden separate gardens that have a wonderful selection of plants and flowers, they have seating areas around the site with designated fire pits, the lake and its walks although short are ideal for a morning stroll with the dogs. Easy access to the village of Bethesda, great situation for visiting and walking in Wales and the Zip World experience
Thanks for a great stay

We stayed 2 nights in Hafan Cottage in May 2021 as a base for a days walk in the Carneddau. The owners, Carlo and Liz were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and my correspondence with Carlo during the booking process was trouble free and efficient. The cottage is a converted Mill done out to a very good standard with all mod cons including a log burner and en-suites for both bedrooms. The cottage was very clean and the owners have a good covid policy of minimal contact in place. The buildings are set in beautiful grounds with a lake and hide and an ornamental pond. Bethesda is a 5 minute drive or a 10 walk through the woods. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this hidden gem. Thanks Carlo and Liz and hope to see you again.

We have stayed at Bryn Llys in our caravan and what a stunning location and a beautifully maintained campsite. It has loads of great features including mature gardens, a lake, which we our caravan pitch was right next too, large pitches we felt we were there by ourselves and not on a site, it even has a miniature railway.
The new owners are really lovely people - so helpful and friendly. They’ve just taken over the site and are making huge improvements.
We have also stayed at one of their beautiful cottages which was spotless comfortable beds lovely and warm and a log burner all ready to go when we got there, with plenty of wood for the weekend, the owners had even put milk in the fridge on our arrival.
Great location for visiting Snowdonia and easy access to all kinds of activities.
It’s very close to Zip World but also lots of mountain walks and biking route. I can not recommend this site enough and we will be returning as much as possible.

We stayed at Bryn Llys hafan cottage for 2 nights and it was beautiful! Very clean and had everything we needed. Amazing area for walking and close walking distance to the velocity zip wire too. The only thing the area lacked was somewhere to have a meal out, we couldn’t find anywhere but having said that the cottage had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

We arrived at Bryn Llys having no problem finding it and only 5 mins of the A55 makes it really easy. We were given a warm welcome by Carlo, who showed us to our accommodation which was spotless and a welcome selection of beverages and some brownies had been left out for us.
Later, Carlo took the time to show me around the grounds which are truly fab. It is clear that a lot of work has been put in to restore what must have been quite splendid in their hay day and I can’t wait to see what Carlo and Liz do over the next few years. The highlight for my wife and daughter was the model railway while for me Carlo’s restored forge was a great attraction. It will be great to be able to visit when both these curios are running.
With easy access to coast and castles, mountains and local tourist attraction like the zip wire and surfing at the Adventure Park this accommodation has much to offer. ????

We have just returned from a great week at Bryn Llys. The host, Carlo, was very friendly and informative. We received a very warm welcome.
The CL caravan site was in a beautiful setting next to a lake and amongst trees. The facilities were not available due to Covid so cannot comment on them but we would always use our own anyway. There were hand sanitizers and sprays by the water/waste points. The walk ways around the estate , the bird hide, the path to the village, and the lake were wonderful. There were walks off site along a picturesque river which were approximately 2-3 miles round trip which were ideal for us and elderly dog. Just before we left, the ducks on the lake introduced their brand new ducklings to the world! Absolutely adorable! If you like birdwatching this is an ideal place to be. Lovely mountain views and easy access to Anglesey and Snowdonia. We hope to return in the autumn as really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely site within beautiful surroundings with walks both around the site and directly from the site. Easy access from the A55. We didn’t use the car at all during our three night stay. Short walk into Bethesda for pubs, cafes, small shops when they are allowed to reopen. Carlo was always on hand with a warm welcome and very helpful with information on walks and the local area. We will definitely return.

What a place! We had a weekend here in April 2021, our base camp for exploring Snowdon. The cottage was beautiful, and had everything we needed. It was lovely and warm with the woodburner too.
In the mornings the sun rises on the deck area where you can have your breakfast and the grounds are stunning, with lots if wildlife and a walk around the lake!
Carlo was brilliant with communication before we arrived and was on hand for anything we needed during our stay.
It's very peaceful and a great place to decompress! Just what we needed.
Thanks Carlo we will back back for sure!

Highly recommend Bryn Llys. Having spent nearly a week there whilst doing my mountain leader training, I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. A great location for getting into the hills or to the local amenities. The rooms were spacious and clean, the shower was always hot and a very comfortable bed. The owners were super helpful & knowledgable of the area too. I will definitely be visiting again!

Stayed here recently off season and loved this place, owner was very friendly and happy to help us plan our onwards activitys & journey.
Clean, spacious and well located only 1 minute from zip world and easy access to main road.
On a plot of land with a small train, lake, stream and lots of places to explore, would be ideal for family's.
I will definitely return to Bryn llys when back in North wales.

Very beautiful and peaceful Carlo was a very polite and helpful and a true gentleman will hopefully be back nexted year not too far from zip world which i would strongly suggest that anyone who loves adrenaline rides should try the grounds around the campsite are very well maintained and would imagine that during the summer months would be stunning i even reckon that it would be perfect for wedding venue they also have different accommodation. Me and my partner stayied in the carvan which only accommodates 3 people but they do offer other accommodation which can sleep 12

This is a very neat and clean CL site which comes with its own mini ‘nature reserve’ and lake. Ideally placed for outdoor pursuits in Snowdonia (round the corner from Zipworld!), it is also ideal for visits to other places
if the weather is less than perfect. We were in our caravan but the holiday cottages looked equally inviting! Thank you to Carlo for a warm welcome and other advice.

Bryn Llys is a lovely site. Beautiful mature gardens and woodland with a lake and little stream. Many walk options direct from the site. Ideal location to explore North Wales Coast, Anglesey and Snowdonia. Several NT properties within half hour drive. Own facilities only at the moment which suited us fine: water, waste disposal etc all conveniently located. Would definitely visit again.

A wonderfully peaceful small CL site in beautiful woodland surroundings. A mix of grass and hard standing pitches with electric but limited facilities - toilet but no shower but who needs it when you have your own! The owners are extremely helpful and have what can only be described as a lovely tranquil site!

This is the most beautifully landscaped CL I have ever seen. Set near their pretty gardens with extensive woodland and a lake! The owner will direct you to the very pleasant track which leads you to the village which has food shops, restaurants and several pubs. It is also a short drive to Zipworld where I took the exhilarating ride on Velocity 2, an experience not to be missed.
