Spotlessly clean on arrival, warm, and with absolutely everything we needed for a fabulous week on the Mawddach estuary, we were delighted with our choice. The owners are very friendly, extremely thoughtful (a welfare check and a torch brought to the door after a region power cut during a Sunday evening storm) but not intrusive. They have found the perfect balance of wanting you to have an excellent holiday, supporting that, and giving you the space to do so. With fabulous walks direct from the door to local waterfalls, across fields, the Mawddach estuary and trail or further afield to Fairbourne or across to Barmouth, Bron Aber is superbly located for walkers and / or cyclists. We would not hesitate to return.

Being able to easily turn the water and heating on and off at will was a real bonus. Good location for strolling to Barmouth, Fairbourne beach & Cregennan Lakes. Lots more, big and small, within a few miles' drive. No complaints about customer service. We asked the (very friendly) owners if they had a spare tea strainer or cafetiere since neither had been provided, went away with a strainer and a cafetiere turned up an hour later which really was going "above and beyond". Could have done with some more kitchen knives but apparently they tend to go walkabouts.
