Brithdir | Holiday House For 6 | Snowdonia

Description

Brithdir Mawr is hidden in gently rolling, wooded countryside. Quiet twisting lanes banked by high
hedgerows lead to the peace of this place where guests can come back to themselves, regenerate, relax
and reconnect with nature. This is a place to unwind, surrounded by birds, bees and trees and enveloped
in a warm Welsh welcome. It feels remote and undiscovered, but it’s perfectly positioned for beaches or
mountains - Ynys Môn (Anglesey) is only 10 minutes away over the Brittania Bridge and Eryri
(Snowdonia), which dominates the views, is 10 minutes away to the south.
Brithdir Mawr was the original farmhouse on what is now a small, eco-boutique glamping retreat, Cae Lal.

The ethos is peace and quiet, wellness and regeneration and the owners, who live next door, have
created a space for guests and nature to thrive side by side. Native trees have been planted, marshland
preserved, and meadows cultivated. The marshy areas attract frogs, wetland birds such as snipes and
heron; dragonflies and butterflies are plentiful; the woodlands are home to various woodland birds such
as barn owls, finches and nuthatches. There’s a badger set here, and you might even spot a stoat or
brown hare. Holistic therapies including massages and reiki are available on site, in the cosy treatment cabin, down in the secluded meadow. Brithdir Mawr guests are also welcome to wander the paths and the fairy-tale solar-lit path, as well as the use of the communal facilities.

The same ethos and care is evident in the old farmhouse - oak beams have been cleaned, slate flooring
exposed and original floorboards refined. The kitchen and dining/sitting area is modern and functional but retains
character through the use of locally sourced and upcycled furniture and furnishings and the bathrooms are fresh
and stylish. Welsh woollen blankets and carefully curated pieces of furniture add to the sense of calm and
wellbeing. The garden is a perfect suntrap on warmer days but the woodburning stove in the cosy sitting room
ensures the farmhouse functions just as well on cold winter evenings. The bedrooms are spacious and both main
bedrooms have ensuite facilities. Younger children will love the cabin bed in mum and dad's bedroom, while the day
bed in the third bedroom creates a further useful sleeping arrangement.

The farmhouse is adorned in mostly reused, upcycled and locally sourced furniture and furnishings. From eco-friendly blinds, made out of sustainably sourced materials, to a rustic, reclaimed wood bedframe - the farmhouse is not only tastefully designed, but also planet friendly.

What people say about this cottage

Brithdir Mawr is a fabulous newly refurbished cottage set in such a beautiful and peaceful location. The hosts Bethan and Jacob are so welcoming and their knowledge of the local area is fantastic. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hamper of Welsh food treats provided was very generous and we certainly enjoyed the contents. The cottage is situated on the glamping and camping site which Bethan and Jacob have developed into a wonderful eco friendly site with exceptional facilities. There are plenty of beautiful places and historical towns and castles to visit within a short driving time of the property. During our stay we visited Newborough Beach on Anglesey, climbed Snowdon, explored Conwy, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle, Ffestiniog railway and the Swallow Falls and Ugly House Tearoom ( delicious cakes) at Betws-y-Coed. There are plenty of good restaurants and takeaways in the locality and Tesco 5 mins away.

This is a splendidly located cottage for anyone wanting to walk in Snowdonia. It was well equipped with two very comfortable en-suite double bedrooms and a decent sized single. I would definitely return.

Great location on the outskirts of Bangor for easy reach of local attractions yet hidden away in the countryside. The house is situated on a camping site so we met several families during our stay. The house is well equipped with plenty of space and amenities, the kitchen has new equipment.

"Boltholes And Hideaways" is definitely a great place to stay on your trip to N. Wales! The hosts are very helpful and friendly. The house itself is very homely, beautiful, comfortable and stylish. All equipment is very good and modern. What surprised us is that each double room has an independent bathroom, which is very convenient and can save more time queuing up to take a shower when you are very tired. The house was clean, my son is allergic to dust and carpet, but he didn't experience any discomfort during his stay. The location is superior, 15-30 minutes drive to many attractions, only 3 minutes drive to a large supermarket. I like the environment here, lots of green, very quiet place to stay. Thank you owners, we can see that you two have put a lot of effort into your house and making it a wonderful setting for your guests! My son doesn't even want to leave your home and misses it when he comes back to ours. Highly recommend this house and the owners!

A truly spectacular “experience” - this wasn’t just somewhere to sleep, it felt like a home from home. The home was pristinely clean, well presented, and had all the things needed to truly relax both inside and outside the home. This trip was a mixture of working remotely and a mini break - the setting was simply stunning with the snowy tipped mountains in the background with calming star lit skies free from light pollution. My host, Bethan, went above and beyond to make my stay exactly as you’d hope it would be. I cannot fault the details given, recommendations and reactiveness when I needed help. Leo, my dog, had the best stay - making friends with Dotty as they followed each other around the great open space the property boasts. I would highly recommend this location, the host and the listings accuracy! Thank you! Hope to see you again as Leo and I continue our adventures around the UK ❤️
