“Never disappoints”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

person found this review helpful

This was our fourth visit to Bryniau Golau in as many years and we have never been disappointed. The house itself is a gem with beautiful gardens and fine views over the lake to the mountains beyond. Katrina and Peter are charming hosts who go out of their way to be helpful. Guests are welcomed with tea/coffee and home-made cake, though there are also tea-making facilities in the rooms. Excellent dinners are available for those who want to eat in (and, frankly, there is not much in Bala itself to tempt you out). You can bring your own wine or choose from the house list. Breakfasts (full Welsh, if you want it) and dinners are communal, which may not suit everyone, but has not (so far) been a problem for us. We choose the Berwyn room which is spacious and commfortable, but guests would be advised to seek Peter's instructions on getting the TV to work!
We have every intention of coming back next year.

“tranquillity, beautiful and romantic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2010

My partner and I stayed at this B&B for three nights in August 2010. We were greeted by Katrina who welcomed us into her home, sadly we were unable to meet Peter as he was away. Katrina apologised as he was apparently the main chef, Katrina however does not give herself much credit as the meal she prepared for us on the first night was delicious. Without my knowledge my partner was proposing to me that evening and Katrina was so helpful in making every effort to ensure that my partners plans went without a hitch! It was perfect. We stayed in the Berwyn Room which was luxurious and spacious. The Jacuzzi bath was the icing on the cake, wonderful!
We had free taxi service from the Plas y dre restaurant in the town, The food there was gorgeous and the hospitality was second to none.
We were lucky to have our last day spending it in the glorious grounds of Bryniau Golau, where the sun was shinning while we drank our wine in the garden, the house was ours to spend as we pleased!
Over all an excellent weekend break, where we shall be returning each year for our wedding anniversary, We are getting married August 21st 2011, almost a year to the date that we got engaged! A big thanks to Katrina, she was brilliant! Louise and Mathew x

“Simply THE BEST”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2010

What a fantastic B&B with the best hosts. From the moment that we arrived we knew this would be an experience to remember. Katrina escorted us to our rooms and then had a wonderful afternoon tea awaiting us in the relaxing lounge room. We had also arranged for dinner at Bryniau Golau that evening . Sitting in the dining room with our friends ,we were extremely relaxed in this beautiful setting overlooking the lake. Next we met Peter who had prepared our delicious evening meal.
Our rooms were just so comfortable and the beds divine. The setting here is FANTASTIC.
We stayed 3 nights and explored most that Snowdonia has to offer.
Being quite well travelled , this is one B&B that we would hope to come back to next time we are in the UK.
Thank you Katrina & Peter for sharing your wonderful home with us. We have already recommended Bryniau Golau to family and friends.

“Worth every penny...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

My wife and I stayed at Bryniau Golau B&B for three nights at the end of July/beginning of August, whilst on a motorcycle touring holiday of Wales and were really pleased that we did.

Describing it as merely a B&B does not do justice to Bryniau Golau and if you were merely selecting on price would probably pass it by without further ado. If however you are looking for a couple of days in a fantastic setting with five star accommodation hosted by two really great people then you couldn't do much better than here.

Bryniau Golau is on the south of Lake Bala near Llangower but it's only 1.5 miles into Bala which is walkable for a lot of people - and a lot of walkers do stay here. Obviously if you are disabled or unable to use your own transport then this would be a problem. Taxis are reasonably priced however and one Bala restaurant runs a free service if you dine with them.

Back to Bryniau Golau, when we arrived, Katrina and Peter gave us a fantastic welcome with a clotted cream tea which was delivered up to our room, more of which later. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and they even dropped us into town on our first night. Peter also owns a motorcycle and kindly allowed us to share his garage for the duration of our stay. Car parking is "on road" outside Bryniau Golau but as it's pretty secluded, this shouldn't be a problem.

The "room" we stayed in was actually an amazing suite affording beautiful views over the lake and gardens with a four-poster bed, large en-suite with jacuzi and seperate shower, double sinks/mirrors - I've posted some pics (sorry about the quality). Everything was beautiful but initially we were a little intimidated by the white bedroom carpet as we arrived wet and soggy from a fairly typical Welsh downpour. However, far from being concerned about us walking all over their beautiful house in wet, grubby bike gear, Katrina led us on a short introductory tour through the house and never blinked an eyelid.

The breakfasts were fantastic - all the food was obviously of the highest quality local produce (and plenty of it) - and we were both barely able to get our bike kit back on when it was time to leave.

Bryniau Golau was a great holiday experience and rather than say that it was expensive we'd call it value for money!

“absolutely perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

Everything about this B&B is perfect ,we got a warm bubbly welcome from Katrina who gave us fresh cream scones and coffee on arrival. The Berwyn room is stunning both in quality, views of the lake and the perfection of the bathroom. This really is 5 star luxury, comfort was second to none, total peace and quiet.........absolutely perfect.
